I have my own doubts about this matter, same as you. But doesn't your I-797 remains valid till its expiry date? Is there any such rule that if its un-used it will become void or should be cancelled after 6 months?
In another context, I was told by one of the attornies that when i am with company-A and say its I-797 is valid for 3 years. I work for A for 1 year. Leave A and join B and work there for 1 year. Then leave B and come back to A, then I don't need another I-797 application, i can reuse previously approved still valid I-797 with A.
I am not 100% sure on this reply ....
As soon as you use EAD, your H1B status is voided. I have read that if you have worked less then 6 months on EAD then there are chances that you could get back on the same H1.
Now, once 6 months (180) days have passed, your unused H1 is supposed to get cancelled.
You may want to check with some good attorney though.
Sorry, not much help.
Good luck.

I was on I-485 status on my EB3 application working on EAD. My I140 for Eb2 application got approved today while also requesting porting of priority date.
I believe USCIS would have automatically switched the 485 application to use the new EB2 I-140 instead of old EB3-I140
Now my question I am ready to renew my EAD. I wanted if there will be any problem with my EAD application since it is now transfered to an Eb2 position.
My pririty date is still not current....
beautifulMind - does your new I-140 have old priority date from EB3?
I think you should not have any issues filing for EAD, all you need are your pending I-485's receipt notice. good luck!

My current H1 stamp is for company A.
Based on what you wrote, would you advise me to get the stamp of company C if I have plans to change to C eventually? I know that when I will be reentering USA, I will be on the payroll for company C.
Yes, you should get H1B stamp with Company C's annotation. Roseball's comments seems to suggest that it is not necessary to get a new visa as long as you H1B has not expired. However, that is not what I was told by my attorney when I changed employer and had to visit India. Also, during my interview in Chennai, the officer told me "I see that your application is for change of employer". I just said yes. I think it is best that you get in touch with an attorney and seek attorney's opinion. They are the experts and will have the correct information.

Thanks for your response
As per my employer adv :
Required degree : Masters degree in Engineering or related field (no experience)
The education evaluation was done from ITES inc., I have got this for applying H1B in Apr 2005, which includes my prior experience. We have used the same education evaluation for I-140 in Aug'07. Since the experience was combined in my education evaluation, CIS is now asking for a new evaluation based solely on education.
If you cld submit an eval just for education, you shld be ok

A federal judge has ordered USCIS to pay attorney Kip Evan Steinberg $25,000 in legal fees after the lawyer's client sued the agency to force it to complete processing in an adjustment of status green card case. USCIS tried to point the finger at the FBI for delays in the name check process, but the judge wasn't buying. The judge found the 151 hours the lawyer put in to the case to be reasonable. So 151 attorney hours were wasted, an individual waited years unnecessarily and America's taxpayers are out $25,000.

I dont understand your first question, what do yo mean be switch to company A using EAD as well as on H1 for B.
you cannot use both H1 or EAD at the same time.
If company A is dying then it might be better to switch with the understanding that I-140 will not be revoked but if an RFE arises then someone will be able to provide docs etc.
As for H1 renewal you cannot pay yourself maybe an equivalent reduction in salary might work

That's very true but the fact that you will no longer be tied to one employer/career and can freely move around the industry to find that dream job is worth much more than EAD fee, unless ofcourse you already have that dream job. :rolleyes:
This can be very important when your spouse cannot work now. Irrespective of this, EAD renewals have to be thought about every 8-9 months or so (remember someone saying you need to apply 3 months in advance).
Maybe you will have to take up a side job to pay for your frequent EAD renewals.:cool:

Why don`t you ask your Attorney about it since you are paying him and that`s his job to tell what documents he needs. ASK HIM.
I did and he says we will submit a copy of the Visa and just hope they do not request the approval letter.
I was just wondering how important an approval letter was if you have the visa stamped on the passport. That should be proof enough of legal status.

W... For regular applications, they don't even have a column asking for any valid reason.
....
Right. The Initial Evidence section of the I-131 form. Under section I part C 1 b. on page 4 (page 4 in PDF, page 3 printed on that doc) does mention this:
An explanation or other evidence showing the circumstances that warrant issuance of an advance parole document; or
but the very next line is that the alternative to this is a copy of the USCIS receipt of your 485. So just USCIS receipt (or even receipt number) should be good enough for us (or if you filed all three together, dont even need that).
Anyway to OP: ask your lawyer to apply, you should not face any problems getting it.

...after hearing lots of crap for 6 years, finally I also got my approval on 8/21...no, no, no...it's not over for me...they wouldn't let that happen so easily... they approved mine...but they didn't approve my wife's....so, I am still waiting....just half way through....
here is some snapshots my long story....

Xfer VSC to TSC: 3/2/07
FP2: 5/9/07
Status of case since then:
6/4/07: All ready for approval, waiting in queue
6/5/07: Assigned to an officer
6/27/07: Officer on leave, reassigned to another officer
8/6/07: Case waiting to be assigned to an officer ??? wtf ???
8/13 - 8/17: Contacted everyone mentioned in this board, this isn't my first time...just the n-th time....
8/19 - Sunday 5:56pm - actually this is the MOST important event. So, I shall never forget the time. I received a call in my home phone from extn. 1202. The gentleman with a 50sh voice, identified himself as an officer from USCIS. He mentioned that he is aware my case is stuck and wanted to know all details that I have been complaining about. After hearing everything from me and my wife, he looked into some stuff in his system. He particularly looked in details to whom my cases was assigned to....finally he apologised and told me, probably my case was assigned to AN OFFICER WHO IS NO MORE WITH USCIS FOR SOMETIME...phone call for around 48 minutes...
he apologized again and told me that he would inform Texas Center that there are cases assigned to this person who is not with USCIS anymore...
8/21 - 8:01 am - I got only one mail from CRIS "Approval Notice Sent for I485"
...don't know when I would get the "Card Production Ordered" and "Welcome" mails
Well guys, did you notice the flurry of approval today?...mostly old cases....does that have anything with my Sunday's phone call?.....I am guessing so...
My wife's cases didn't get approved since it is with another officer...hope to get that one soon...
All the best to everyone in this forum....I hope lot's of more approvals to come in September....

I am on 9th Year H1 extension and my H1 will expire in end of September 2009.My Labor got approved in 2007 So, I filed I140 and I-485 concurrently. But My I-140 got denied which filed with concurrent then Lawyer appealed as Motion to Reopen the I-140 which got denied and lawyer filed another I-140 as a brand new.
So there are 2 I-140's with the USCIS.
Recently I got intended to Deny like ability to pay query with the Second I-140 case, then lawyer answered the query and filed in premium this one got denied after a week.
Again, First I-140 which lawyer did Motion to Reopen this one also denied from the USCIS but the lawyer appealed this one.
Infact I recently travelled to india and came back on Advance Parole before all this denial happend.
Now, I filed my H1B extension , What will happen to the H1 extension ?
and What is my status now?
Can I tranfer my H1 and file the labor entirely new with the new company eventhough I am in the 9th year extension?
Any help would appreciate
Thanks

Though you entered US on AP, since you are continuing working for the same employer on H1, you are still considered to be maintaining H1 status. Your H1 extension will probably get approved (assuming you submitted all supporting docs required for H1) for 1 yr based on your pending I-140 appeal. Your H1 extension will still be valid for its duration even if your appeal gets rejected after you get the H1 approval. So you can continue working for the same employer till H1 expires.
Regarding moving to a new employer and starting the GC process from scratch..You will have to find a new employer and transfer your H1 while your I-140 appeal is still in process. You will get the extension for 1 yr. Then you will have to get your PERM and I-140 approved before your H1 from the new employer expires, so you can get it extended for 3 yrs based on I-140 approval....You should consult an experienced attorney on your plan of action as time is critical for you..Good luck.

After July 30th, you have to pay the higher fee, but you will get free AP/EADs for the entire duration until adjudication.
So, it's up to you (and whoever is paying for ur EADs).. you can decide appropriately.
I'm sorry, I think I misspoke.
From the USCIS memo posted on AILA's website (ref: http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22912):
USCIS�s announcement today allows anyone who was eligible to apply under Visa Bulletin No. 107 a full month�s time to do so. Applications already properly filed with USCIS will also be accepted. The current fee schedule will apply to all applications filed under Visa Bulletin No. 107 through August 17, 2007. (The new fee schedule that becomes effective on July 30, 2007, will
apply to all other applications filed on or after July 30, 2007).
So I guess, the old fee will still apply even after July 30th for 485 filings.. and I guess no free EAD benefits will apply either. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

Is not weired funny dicriminatvie while 2003/2004 already gor GC while April2001 are waiting for approval.
You do not think there should be once a year declaration for clared date upto so n so not a single file is pending.
Why April2001 has to wait for 8(eight!) years
Because you , me and many like us have bad luck!!!! EB categories are now unofficial lottery system. If you lucky you will not wait!
I dont have any other explanation.
