Dear Friends,
We recently moved our place and we are now in a new apartment.
We have immigration matters that needs to be updated but we don't know what we should do?
The following are affected
1. EAD
2. H1B
3. AP
4. I 485 related things.
My Ead and Ap has old address and the card also holds the same old address.
Could you please tell me what steps I must initiate to get this straightened out? Do I need a new EAD card? Please help me.
Thanks a ton!
Just go to online address change and do it for all your petitions.
On another note, is it true that people are getting RFEs when they do address change? Has anyone faced this?

Disclaimer: I'm not an immigration attroney, so consult one for your situations as laws and filing procedures are changing constantly.
most companies do the same (stop paying for H4) after initial yrs of working with them. i think they have to pay for H1 but i dont think for H4. it is easier to file the extension for H4 visa along with H1, i think it will be like 3-4 pages. i think it is somewhere around 200 for H4 (but fees changes often. check USCIS website).
send the I-539 filled and signed application to the company (with payment/reqd documents) and ask them to file both at the same time so that H4 will be approved when H1 is approved. goodluck:)
My company has just changed the rules. From now they are unwilling to pay the costs incurred in the visa extensions for the spouse.
Is this legal? Does anyone have any links etc that I can pass on to HR if this is illegal. Thanks.

My husband is working for company X on H1-B and he could possibly be fired in couple of weeks. My questions are:
1. Does he need to leave the country on his last working day? Can he stay for a couple of weeks to look for another job?
2. If he finds a job after getting fired, will he be out of status till he finds a job?
3. If for example, 15th of May is his last working day in Company X and his H1B transfer process starts on 25th of May. Will the gap in the number of days of visa filling be an issue in future for Green card processing?
4. I am currently on H4. During his H1B transfer, does anything need to be done for my visa?

Reg. ques 2 - Let me rephrase it
This is my wife's first H1B which is valid for 3 years ( started in Oct 2005 - Oct 2008). If she does COS to H4 now (June 2008) and if she plans to COS to H1 next year (Lets say March 2009), then will her new H1 application still be considered against the H1B cap (cos her first h1b must have expired in Oct 2008)?
Where can I find the 2005/2006 Memo ?

Looks like it is mistake. Is it your second FP appt? It is possible that they already have FP with them and I 140 and I 485 both approved on the same date - within an hour difference.
No, it's the first one. I really hope I-140 is approved :-)

For TC, if you are a AAA member, you can buy AMEX TC from AAA fee free.
Also, you get better exchange rates in India with TC.

First complete your profile so person who is viewing your case understands you better.
You have enough time. Find new job and then new employer can process your Eb2 GC. I-140 can be done in 15 days with premium processing.

Hi,
1) If I take the H1b extenstion for three years (based on my pending I-485) and let say after one year, I start using my EAD with a new employer and my previous employer revokes my H1B....Will I be able to get back on H1B if my I-485 petition get denied for any reason. All I am trying to see if anything happens to my I-485 petition, will I be able to go back on H1B from EAD.
If your 485 is denied, you will not be eligible for any more H-1B time until you have spent one full year outside the US. You have already used your full 6 years and are only entitled to extensions now because you have an approved I-140 and a backlogged priority date. If these conditions apply even after a 485 denial, you could regain H-1B status, however it depends on the grounds of the 485 denial.
2) I have been reading in the forums that USCIS is giving hard time for the H1B extensions. Any experiences on this?
I haven't had a problem with H-1B extensions
3) How much is the H1B renewal fees?
It depends on whether it is an extension with the same employer or if it is a new employer. The fees are:
$320 I-129 fee
$500 Anti-Fraud fee for first H-1B for this employer and employee, or first extension
$1500 Training fee for first H-1B for this employer and employee, or $750 if under 25 employees

Thanks much for your reply, BumbleBee.
There will be a great chance that my parent company will close down my current company after I'm transferred to them. I don't think my current employee will withdraw my I-140 case in the future. Hopefully that I-140 will go thru so I can use its PD for my future PERM/I-140 application.

Hello,
Assuming a 40 hr/week position, a person works 2080 hours per year. The Annual Salary for a $46/hr position is $95680/year.
Also, if you only have annual salary for the new position, you could convert to hourly by dividing by 2080.
But I wouldn't even worry about all this. Just send in the annual salary figure (just for your own satisfaction make sure it is more than $46 per hour) and USCIS will figure out the rest.
Hope that helps.

I have applied concurrently for green card under EB2 in August 2007.Received I140 approval and I485 is in process. Have applied for H1b extension and is pending. I am working for a consulting firm at present. I got job offer for a permanent position with the client that has same job duties and title. But the salary is about $20, 000 lower than what my consulting firm is paying now. My labor was applied with a higher salary. Can this lower salary and the difference create problems with the green card processing? Did anyone have any of this experience? Please help!!!

May be they want to approve your both I-140 and I-485, but I-485 may be missing something, so they issue an RFE. It may be the case that your I-140 can be approved. If it is as simple as Birth Certificate, then they may approve both your I-140 and I-1485 after you reply RFE.

In Franz Kafka's chilling story "The Metamorphosis", a man wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed into a "gigantic insect". Recently, a California family, all permanent residents for over 30 years, was suddenly informed by the government that they were all illegal aliens and must return to Thailand. Mr. Promsiri entered the United States on a student visa. His wife and two young sons, aged 10 and 3 joined him in 1971. In 1975, the parents obtained a divorce from a Thai Consulate in the U.S. The wife married an American citizen, and the couple honeymooned...
