the option I see is that you should get the responsibilities more clearly defined on your ex companies letter head if possible ............. if not then you can get the role details from your previous peers and manager, at each company.

when you say
"If old priority date is not ported then send an email to " means new 140 not showing the old PD correct?
once it shows up then send a interfile request correct or send eitherway

Regarding surrendering I-94 upon departure, it has happened that the airline agent forgets to take it out.
On your return it is removed and a fresh one is given at port of entry (no questions asked).

Thanks so much for the responses.
I have my receipt number. And I am trying to get a hod of my case folder from th company lawyer.
"As such you do not need H1 due to new rule on OPT, however; you need to check if the H1 was applied for change of status? If it is a change of status application, you need to probably inform USCIS that you will not be changing status to H1."
Is there any way I can check if th H1 was applied for change of status without information from the company lawyer?
Thanks again.
The change of status would have been effective in october. You do not need to inform USCIS until september. As a matter for your benefit, avoid it telling to USCIS until september. Check with previous company's lawyer if they applied change in status. The attorney will tell you that. I-94 that comes with H1 status change, and is your property and you can demand that from the company. If they do not cooperate, inform USCIS anyway.

That's true.
Even if many attorneys are listed at one place and there is a provision to provide feedback for each of them, I don't see any feedback.
Looks like most people want others to help them but don't want to help others.

If you got your labor approved and if you apply I-140 before December, you are eligible to get extension for 1 year.
If you got your labor approved and if your I-140 is approved before December, you will be eligible to get extension for 3 years.
So hurry up and Good Luck.

Thanks for clarifying/
I believe my 140 was sent to Texas.
No , I dont work for CTS.
I would go with the FAQ released on July 23 (since it is the latest) instead of the Direct Filing update released on June 21.
Where was your I-140 applied (if it is not concurrent with 485)?
Also, Q6 says the following:
Q6: What happens if an application is filed at the wrong Service Center?
A6. Forms I-485 should be filed at either the Texas or Nebraska Service Centers. However, through August 17, 2007 only, employment-based adjustment applications filed at the California and Vermont Service Centers will not be rejected and will be relocated to the appropriate Service Center.
Do NOT split hairs! You are okay!
P.S.: BTW, are you working for Cognizant?

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

Why do you want to spent $2000 for lawyer for AC21? If you have same or similar offer letter, why cant you type a simple covering letter for your AC21?Do it yourself. US certified post cost around $2.00. Hiring lawyer for AC21 is waste of money.

so you can setup your own LLC. start hiring people?
You can start LLC and hire people to work for that company. But if you try to apply for H1B for any of the employees, you should be prepared to:
1. Show business case that the H1B is for permanent employment (at the minimum for the time-period you seek H1B validity)
2. Show that you have the ability to pay the H1B worker atleast the minimum prevailing wage
If the company is new (less than 2 yrs old), it might be difficult to show that you can pay the minimum prevailing wages, unless you have cash reserves to show that you can pay atleast 6 months salary for all employees.
I wanted to go down the same route - asking a friend (American Citizen) to setup a LLC and hire me on a part-time H1 so that I could do contracting work - but I talked to an attorney first - and he advised me against it and pointed out (1) and (2) above.
Bottom line - I have to wait till I can file for 485 to do any kind of part time contract work :(

Thanks for all replies.. But the question still remain unanswered!!
Did no one filed EAD after filing I-485 at a center different than his/her I-485 processing center?? Did this filing trigger transfer of case to different processing center?

If I go for appointment and they put case under PIMS review as I just got ext approval last months. Will they take passport with them ? if Not can I travel with passport and ask to close case of stamping ?
I read in IV forums that few ppl had sent their 797 copy to kentucky center asking to check in to PIMS, you ca ntry that.
Ya they will take ur passport, if you request to release you need to basically cancel stamping and use ur EAD/AP to enter back but that will make you in to parolee status.
Please do post your experience after you go for stamping.

09/27/2008: Senate Passed Consolidated Continuing Appropriation Bill, H.R. 2638
* Today, the Senate also passed this bill by agreeing to the House H.R. 2638 which the House paased earlier. Here is the vote count. This bill now goes to the President for his signature. The President is expected to sign all of these bills, including Consolidated Continuing Appropriation, Reauthorizations of Non-Miniter Religious Worker Special Immigration, and Conrad 30 International Medical Graduates National Interest Waiver bills before October 1, Wednesday. Otherwise, the federal government is destined to shut down and the immigration reauthorization laws will sunset and gone. The President is anticipated to sign these bills by September 30, 2008.
* Sad part is that the immigration reauthorization is valid only until March 6, 2009 just as the continuing appropriation act. Still, it is a good news in that most of the pending I-360 non-minister religious worker immigration petitions, Conrad-30 based I-140 petitions, and EB-485 applications related to these petitions are likely taken care of before March 6, 2009. The USCIS is currently holding in abeyance these petitions and related EB-485 applications pending the Congressional action. Since the Congress has now cleared the path, as soon as the President signs the bills, the USCIS is likely to pick up these petitions and 485 applications swiftly. Unfortunately, the Conrad 30 based EB-485 for Indians and Chinese may still have to deal with the visa number retrogressions in October 2008 Visa Bulletin. The non-religious workers do not have visa number problem as the visa number for these categories will remain current in October.
What does it mean -- conrad 30 related I-140 and related I-485 will be taken care of prior to March 2009??? What is he trying to say there? Where can I find some more details on that bill.
