I am working with Company B on H-1b. My GC labor, I-140, I-485 and EAD is filed by Company A. Now, I am close to getting EAD in few weeks. Few say that once EAD is approved, then I have start working for Company A immediately. Others say that GC and EAD is for future employment with Company A and hence, I should start working for Company A only after GC is approved.
So, I have two questions and need advice.
1. When should I start working for Company A, upon approval of EAD or approval of GC.
Ideally, I would like to start working for Company A upon approval of GC.
2. Even, if I want to transfer EAD to Company B, the job title differs as the job title on GC is more junior than the current role.
Please let me know if anyone has similar situation and need what the reality is when EAD is approved.
Thanks.

you dont need to start working for the company that sponsored your GC until you get the GC. If USCIS ever sends an RFE that company needs to confirm to USCIS that the job offer is open to you and provide a copy of the offer letter (it should match the LC). Your intent to work for that company on getting a GC should also be obvious (ie. if you currently make 5X what that company is offering for the GC job, you might have to convince the IO that you really intend to take up that offer).
In the meantime you can do whatever you want at company B, either on H1 or on EAD.

How long did it take for you after filing the FOIA to get the concerned documents ?

That is one option but given that I am not on H1 and nor with the same employer - it may not be the way to go. This is something I am going to look into and have an attorney weigh in on. Thanks!
Since her H4 is tied to your being in status and not to which employer you are working for (she is your dependent) I would say she can safely travel on H4. I would recommend that she carry photocopies or originals of your 485 receipts, a photocopy of your passport with I94 (showing you are in the US) and a copy of your EAD card to show your status. I have never heard of dependents getting denied entry as long as they have a valid visa and can show that their spouse is in status. A change of status within the US is not considered as an impediment to your dependents who may travel on a dependent visa category that was last issued to the principal applicant.
My 50 cents (2 cents with inflation added in) Do let us know how this thing ultimately resolves.

Well..I was just saying my friend is a devotee and it worked for him..i did not mean to imply positive or negative ideas about anyone's religious beliefs in whatever form..
Some one mentioned how lawyer screwed up and he landed in EB3... I am EB3 bcos my company does not do EB2s for developers...infact, I have never met anyone who they did an EB2 for. I guess its one of the banes of being in a big consulting firm, where they have to follow the letter of the rule to the T and cannot doctor the requirements of the job to the qualifications of the applicant. I infact managed 4 contractors, all EB2. Its both ironical and sad that how this system is mis-used.
Anyway..well, no worries - I believe if you believe in yourself and your abilities and God, everything will come to just fruition!

Hi,
I had one A# on my EAD (during OPT), as xxx-xxx-xxx, which was expired after OPT was end. Then, after I filed my I485 application, I obtained another A# showed on I-797C form, as Axxxxxxxxx. So I am quite comfused that which one is my current A#. Does A# change with our status? Thanks.
Alien # starts with A. The one your have is your A#, the one you had during OPT is not a A#.

Thanks for your Reply.
Right now I am planning to lodge a complaint to DOL against this body shopper.
The problem is that in the past no one dared to file a complaint and thats why now it becomes his habit to threat every one for lay off and sending to India and exploiting the
H1B visa holder.

I want that one strong message to be "Abolish modern form of Slavery" . This is possible and much easier than trying to tell people that we are legal and the bigger group is illegal.
The bottom line is slavery of both legal and illegals here, we should work to have this abolished in all forms.

All set..I will changing job after 180 days from Next week, I will change my immigration lawyer from my employers
Ist Question
I am thinking of Murthyas as lawyer. Her fee of taking over pending $ 2100, Can anybody suggest any other lawyer and there Fee's etc and all.
I will really appreciate the help.
IInd Question:
For Filing AC21 , do I need letter from the my future employer that job profile matches. My Job Title Matches my Labor Certification Title It was Software Enggineer Now it is Senior Software Engineering, But As I am in IT my old labor certification says about some old Oracle Technology but new job is J2EE and Also my Labor Certification talks about Financial Business Area but New Job is HealthCare Sector.Common thing are Both Says Design and Development of Software application.. Is it OK ?
You do not have to inform USCIS about your move. If you want to inform them anyway, then do it yourself unless there are complications in your case and save yourself some money. It is just a letter and it can be in any format you want.
As for the Job match - the titles do not have to match, the technologies do not have to match; but your roles and responsbilities should be similar. The closer the match, the safer because though USCIS may be lienient today in their interpretation of "same or similar", it is subject to change anytime.
There is the strong possiblity that some people will move on to manager roles from technical roles and yet try to claim AC21 which can push USCIS to tighten the screws. It is better to be catious than regret later.

You should apply for a SSN. If you find a job, the employer will ask you to fill-up a W4 Form. To set you up in company payroll, SSN would be a requirement.
Also, as some other people have mentioned, even if you don't plan to work, you should still get a SSN to establish your credit history.
Applying for a SSN and getting it and has NO impact on your immigration status.

This is from my attorney:
All your previous I-20s if you were student here, including all the notes made on the I-20s for any change (travel, course related paid work experience, OPT etc.);
EAD card copy for OPT if you had any;
All the visa stamps for reentering the States;
All H1b approvals;
I had some I-20s missing but I was able to contact my University International Student office - fortunately that they have everything on file.
"Proof that person is maintaining valid status in USA since last entry in USA" - not last entry but the first entry. All the doucments are to prove your entry is legal and your stay is as legally approved.

hi there is a clause "same or similar field", so as per shiela murthy, ron gotcher and prashanthi reddy, as long as you are in a IT related job its ok, you cannot go from IT to healthcare or cross fields.
so you are safe.
But find out from your attorney if it is mandatory to file Ac21, because as long as i know, some attorneys say not to file it, as it just causes more confusions. But find out if it is legal not to file Ac21.
AC21 by law is not mandatory to file, does not matter what any attorney says. Some attorneys might want to make some money off of you and create a scare.
My attorney did mention that i should be in similiar field ( exactly as gcdreamer has mentioned here) that one should not more from IT to selling burgers or being a realtor as their primary jobs.
After 8 years is this h1 circus....i have moved on to get some certifications, experience in industry. how in the world can i stick to the same job on this GC was filed...
Imaging this, you play by rules and GC takes lets say.....20 years...will you be stuck at same job..no. on top of this what if at time of GC adjucation, you might get hit by some....obscure rule created by Grassley like folks....sitting on a tractor in IDAHO and planning for IT industry in San Francisco..he for sure would like you to stick to same field....same employer/farmer...as was in old days of slavery....
I say go for the advancement in career, you are not doing anything wrong.
My 2 cents.

There is no clear indication from USCIS regarding how long you have to stay to prove your intent. Some say even the very next day you can move on to a different company, some would like to be cautious and would like to wait for 6+ months before moving to another company.
If the company is not willing to pay you when you are on 'bench' then get the information in writing for future and move on. If you do not want to raise a red flag during citizenship application, this will help you at that time.
Thanks

I have been trying hard to get an answer for this question without any luck. My corporate attorney doesn't seem to have the slightest inclination on this subject. I would really appreciate responses.
My case details:
Visa on the passport up until Feb 2009
6 year term ending on Feb 2010
Date on I94 in passport is Feb 2010
I140/I485 concurrently applied on July 07
Currently have EB3 I-140 filed based on Substitute Labor at NSC.
Questions -
1. If my I-140 case gets picked up AFTER Feb 2009 (less than 365 days of H1 6 year term ending) and is denied (God forbid!), will I be eligible to file for a post 6 year H1 extension? Since this is Labor Sub, the labor doesn't have my name on it.
2. If yes for (1), will I be eligible for 1 year or 3 years H1 extension?
3. Can I file for a new PERM at that time and get an extension based on that?
4. Do I need to refile I-485?
Please help!

Hi,
I am currently working on EAD and my Priority date is May 2007. I was wondering if I get a job in a US company which allows me to stay in india and work for them on regular employment under inter office transfer, Can i still work on EAD and be aligible for my GC?
Will there be any limit on how long can I work from out side of US, if I can?
is there any other legal formality i should fulfill in order to work for US company from out side of US and continue with my GC Process?
Any help is appriciated,
Thanks,
Mickey
Where will they pay your Salary? If they are paying you in India You do not need EAD Usually if you are working out side US you do not need any kind of authorization from US. You need to get the authoization from country where you will be working.
Your GC process can continue here. For Re-entry purpose keep your AP current or H1 status current with the employer. So that you can back once your green card is approved.

I thought the OP was making a case for getting his question answered.. that doesn't mean the case is necessarily true now.
And I think if you read further down, the op himself said he didn't get his GC yet, but his question was "what if?"...... guys read before you post ;)

DOS tried to update the system reflecting a big jump in the visa dates for May. The system was unused to any changes lately - leave aside such large forward movements - and as a result it crashed.
DOS managed to recover the system by replacing all date fields with character fields. The rumor is that the value for all those character fields is now "C", whatever that means.
Nice one, although you are 2 days too late with your "special" news. :D
