I have briefly searched the forums and could not find a related post hence starting a new thread. If the answer already is on any other post, please point me to it and delete this thread.
***********
Question: I am on H1 and, my wife and daughter are on H4. I have applied for EAD for both me and my wife and AP for all 3 of us. My question is "Do I need to maintain my H1 status so that my daughter can stay in US?" If I (and my wife too) switch to EAD, what status will my daughter be in? As I understand "Pending Adjustment" is not a status so how can my daughter stay in US legally if I switch to EAD.
Any response is highly appreciated.

can anyone answer this
I know a person who had to leave his employer only after 60 days of filling his 485(not even 180 days for ac21) and still got GC.
There are thousands who already working for new employer using AC21 after 180 days.
and you are scared to death even after getting GC. Let me ask you this...are you a man or chicken?

I was issued a license based on my EAD expiration date. Same for my wife. We went back to DMV to get license extended based on I 94 expiry date. My I94 expiry date was different than ED expiration date as the customs gave expiry date which is 1 year later than EAD expriation date. I asked the customs officer why the date was different than my EAD date. He told my stay was valid till my I94 expiry date.
Anyways, IOWA DMV extended our license based on I94 date and we came back happy to know that we shall not have to walk in -30F to fetch our grocery as we wait to get our renewed EAD..

Hello IVans,
My employer did not pay for I485 expenses (USCIS fees, Lawyer expenses and Medical exam expenses). I paid all these expenses out of my pocket. Today one of my friends told me that these expenses could qualify as tax-deductible expenses. I have my doubts, but want to get you thoughts.
Thanks.
To deduct these expenses you need to itemize your deductions and for the year 2008 the new standard deduction is $10,900 for married couples filing a joint return , $5,450 for singles and married individuals filing separately and $8,000 for heads of household. link (http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=174876,00.html)
The most important question you have to ask yourself is "Is your itemized deductions more than the $10,900"? If yes then go ahead and itemize it, otherwise you're well off using standardized.

I think they moved very cautiously because of porting. Porting seems to be much more serious than we all thought maybe. Also as well as since it's just may, they traditionally don't open floodgates until late.

Years and years of waiting? no kidding. Look at my priority date. And there are people waiting before me. You used a pre-approved labor and have been waiting in the GC queue from what 2006? Dude, in today's world, a reasonable wait for eb3-is anywhere between 10-15 years and eb2 is atleast 5-6 years. I am not mad that you used a pre-approved labor, though in my personal opinion, its a taboo. I am just saying you are lucky enough that you may get your green card much quickly than people like us who have been waiting atleast 8-10 years and trust me, people like your case, usually should be happy.
I can empathize. I might me more luckier than you, and there are people *luckier* than me. (You know what I mean..) But, if for some reason I don't get my GC, and you get your GC in a few years, me being lucky to start with is of no use. Nothing is sure till GC is on-hand for anyone.
So, I would appreciate if someone could let me know if there are any disadvantages process-wise when it comes to I-485 adjudication on a pre-approved labor.
Thanks.

What was your previous status (before 1st oct). If you still have valid visa for say H-4, just go out of country and come back using your previous valid visa. On your return you will get a new I-94 with H-4 status. Then you can apply for H-4 to H-1 transfer (you won't need any paystubs) and you will not be subjec to H1 quota either.
Ofcourse, I am assuming your previous status was H-4. If it was F-1 or something else, I don't know if you have valid permit to return to that status.
Hi Gurus,
It's amazing to see all the good work here! Please keep it up.
My question is:
I graduated with a Master's (MBA) from US in Dec. 06, have H1B approved from Oct. 1st 2007, through Comp. A (consultant). However, I have never worked with Comp. A, as they couldn't secure a project for me. Now, Comp. B has come forward to possibly hire me (non-consultant). How do I get my H1B transferred without the pay stubs, considering that Comp. B is a non-consulting company, and would need a very smooth transfer?

I was in this situation few years back. I was on bench for 8 months (not paid). I chose not to reply to the DOL letter. I feared that accepting that I was on bench for 8 months will make you out of status.
Every time you go for H1 revalidation, you will be asked were you out of status any time.
Later I have done 3 H1 revalidations (Canada), no problems. If sending reply is not mandatory then keep quiet. Six months later my employer filed for bankruptcy.

I have a pending I-485 application (EB-3) and effective Oct 1, my PD will be current. My application has been pending for more than six months already so I will be covered by AC21. I never worked for my sponsoring employer but will be as soon as I get my GC.
I have a feeling that my green card is just around the corner. Spoke to my employer yesterday about my employment with them and it looks like they are changing their minds about hiring me.
I am so worried. Anybody in the same situation? What do I do? Will I lose the green card?

I haven't filed my I-140 yet but I also got a 3 year extension on my H1B. My lawyer, who used to work for the USCIS, says it is not necessary to notify them. She says they often get confused. With one of her previous clients, they actually said "that's OK".

This is the same seat from where Bush defeated John Kerry by 10 points in 2004. Republicans have a 44 percent to 29 percent edge over Democrats in voter registration. Bilbray won 49% votes against Democrat Ms Busby's 45%. This shows that there was no clear endorsement for either candidate. This infact shows that democrats did make a headway into republican base and come November it might be Democrat. We should remember this is a heavy Republican district.
Republican Brian Bilbray will face-off with a Democrat again in November for this same seat for a two year term.
Also, a big faux-pax by the Democratic candidate might have led to her own demise. She suggested that illegal aliens could also vote for her, this incensed the republican voters and they came out at the last minute to hand her a defeat.
It is obvious that Republicans won because Democrats blew it.

I did try to get into it so that i can start an effort to file a lawsuit but it seems after spending couple of hundread dollars to talk to lawyers I came across that federal courts have no power to do anything against USCIS if it is ineffeciency due to beurocracy delays.
So Technically you can file a lawsuit even as an individual but then Federal Court wont be able to held USCIS accountable as USCIS will give excuse as beurocracy delays and lack of resources and that lands on Congress so Federal court will have to get Congress involved.
Very Sad ... but its true ... this is a clean example how unfair this country is and it still preaches other countries on this planet about liberty, justice blah blah ...
