Does this mean that you cannot have 6-9 years extension of H1B for the new employer and you must use the EAD after six years if you are changing jobs?
No, you can use H1. But if you go to new employer, of course you have to do an H1 transfer to new employer.
AC21 portability can be used with either forms of work authorization : H1 or EAD. The important thing is to do it after 180 days of 485 filing and to do it after 140 approval.
You can start working for new employer on EAD, or you can use AC21 (without using EAD) by applying for H1 transfer to new employer and working for new employer as soon as you get receipt notice of H1 transfer.
H1 status offers a backup plan in the sense that if your 485 is rejected for wrong reasons, you can appeal the case in office of administrative appeals and fight it out and stay here on h1 while you fight it out. Your H1 status you have at that time of 485 rejection and its validity is unaffected by 485 being rejected. But if you are on EAD, and if your 485 is rejected, then your EAD is invalid and you are out of status, you cannot switch back to H1 from EAD and continue fighting the rejection of 485 thru appeals. You have to go back.
H1 offers a backup plan but the disadvantages are that its more expensive to do for employers and so many employers will not prefer you. It costs between 1600 to 2400 for employers to file H1 transfer and bring you on board, plus lawyers fees needed for filing H1 transfer. EAD is easy, you dont need lawyer and your employer has nothing to worry or deal with. So you will have more options when using AC21 if you use EAD as your work authorization rather than H1. Besides, H1 extensions and transfers are a headache. EAD extensions are easier and they can be done by yourself without the need to get anything from employers and lawyers.

Folks,
I cannot seem to find the section of the bill re: invalidation of pending applications, that is causing everyone so much heartburn. Someone referenced section 502(d)(2), however if I look on thomas.gov, that section of the bill is about per country limits. Can someone supply either a) latest version of bill text or b) correct section reference regarding current and pending applications?
Regards,
- GS

Check this out: Brian Bilbray, GOP Rep., Claims Clothes Identify Illegal Immigrants (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/22/brian-bilbray-gop-rep-cla_n_547710.html)
We have been living in a county which has implemented 287g for some time. And I believe all legal residents in my county feel safer because of its implementation. Sure, there is a chance that 287g can be misused by the police. But tell me one law which can not be misused by police.
The thing is that more counties are signing on to 287g. St. Mary's County Joins Controversial Federal Immigration Initiative - Southern Maryland Headline News (http://somd.com/news/headlines/2010/11667.shtml).
I went thru the proposal in Arizona and could not find even one point which might be bad for us. Did any of you find something? Format Document (http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/49leg/2r/summary/h.sb1070_04-13-10_houseengrossed.doc.htm). I feel, IV should support such laws. We want the citizens and law abiding people in this country to support us; not the illegals.
"trained professionals" can identify undocumented workers just by looking at their clothes......"They will look at the kind of dress you wear, there is different type of attire, there is different type of -- right down to the shoes, right down to the clothes," Bilbray replied.
How long before we are targeted based on this rationale (our traditional dresses are easily recognizable!!) ....... These policies will only spiral in the wrong direction, making every immigrant's life miserable - be it legal or illegal!!!

I think IV should lobby to have the DREAM Act applied to all children, whether legal or illegal.
I am a legal skilled immigrant, came her in 1995 and still in line for GC. My son aged-out 3 years ago, and daughter will age-out in a month. Both of them would be on path to GC and citizenship under the DREAM Act....only if they had come here as undocumented. The DREAM Act allows the benefit till age 30, whereas legal dependants age-out at 21. Why this discrimination against legal entrants?
Exactly this has been made clear by IV core taht Dream ACT is not for IV community...IGNORE IT

You cannot combine work and education for EB2 and for EB3 it must be so noted on the Labor Cert.
Santa,
Thanks for your response.
Education evaluation was not done for bachelors because the Labor only required masters. My attorney is planning to use 2 years of my experience to compensate for the additional 1 year of bachelors degree
H1Girl,
Thanks for your response.
Even my attorney says the argument of USCIS could be "building blocks" argument i.e. In US, for masters, 4 year bachelors is required. But, I only have a 3 year bachelor degree.

No. I am not anti-immigrant. I am anti-illegal immigrant. I know the AZ law very well coz I read it not like many who seem to listen to talk radio. Good opinions can be formed only with good knowledge and we don't need evryone to have an opinion. Most should only subscribe to an opinion otherwise there will only be infighting and no progress.
President Obama just lost a good chance to gain democratic majority in Nov. Now people are saying....why is the fed govt. not letting a state protect its citizens?
Also the fact that a lawsuit is brought against AZ shows that the real wider immigration issue is not to be touched.
Can you explain how this new law protects American citizens?

H1B + GC holders pay SS + Medicare (??) for which they are entitled only when they become citizen.
Here are the SS eligibility requirements: http://permanent.access.gpo.gov/lps4345/11001.html
Based on this, GC holders with 40 work credits (that is, 10 years of US work experience) and reside in any of the 50 US states are eligible for SS, if they satisfy age and other requirements. So one doesn't need to be a US citizen to get SS benefits.
It's a different story that by the time, we all become 65, the SS coffers will be empty. Of course, I wish no one is in a position where they need SS to survive.
Thanks,
Jayant

You have a fair chance of visitor visa denial as its bot very easy for people of our age to come on visitor visa unlike F1 or H1 (I may be wrong, but I didnt any friend's brothers or sisters coming to US on this ).
Also in your caseif she is asked about your status, then chances of denial increase as intent can confuse the officer.
What will you state your Wife's status on the forms she will need to fill for 485. This can also be risky.
If its possible, its good she comes and you do the filing and then she returns back..

Online status does not change when they send FP notices.
There will be a change in LUD after you give FP.
Will they not update status when they send any FP notice? Even if one misses the letter, one will get an idea whether something happened or not. Or are you saying that they don't even change the status when they send FP notice and if it misses to reach us we never would be knowing at all??
Can anybody clarify whether they update at the online status system when they send FP notice. Otherwise there is some reason for a mild worry; still don't see any reason for the kind of anxiety people are having for not having FP.

LC applied : Dec'2003
Approved : July' 2006
I-485 RD : July' 2007
I-485 AD : Nov'2007
- How has greencard changed your life after receiving it?
A cautious sense of freedom. Suddenly a lot more opportunities opened up and more employers started to show interest. My Desi employer is suddenly on the receiving end and I dictate the terms. Yes, Still workiing with them after 6 months, but that was my own decision to stick with them. Leaving them next month for a 50% raise in salary :)
- What did you do on the day you received it?
I got up at 7:00 that morning of Dec 3rd, (starting dec 3rd my date was not current anymore) , still half asleep, checked my email and got the shock of my life --"Welcome notice sent..." checked it multiple times then woke up my wife and almost dragged her to the computer and made her read the emails with half closed eyes... Our town recieved record rainfall that day and all streets got flooded, so no work :) Went to a Thai place for dinner that night with another family who are very close friend of ours.
-How did the long wait upset your life?
The feeling of uncertanity was terrible. Had to deal with the employer on a daily basis. They sat on my paperwork for 6 weeks, made me sign a million agreements and still did not file my case in June even though my date was current. I was devastated on the morning of July 2nd and rest is very well known to everyone here.
-How did immigrationvoice help you during this long wait?
What can I say? IV took me from what I mentioned in my last point to where I am right now - Waiting for my paycheck with 50% more and above that without any doubts about it coming :)
- Would you like to continue your support to immigration voice and help others waiting?
YES - Or I wouldn' be here 6 months after gettting my GC. Sent another contribution of $50 today.(Paypal Transaction ID #23M509897Y2455252)
- Any advice for everyone?
Have faith in yourself and God. and remember whatever happens , happens for the best.. Even We agree that the GC came at the right time for us. My wife got to spend 100% of her time with our daughter until she was ready to go to a pre-school. And we got a very good friend during the DC rally.. Hello EB3Retro ! :)

I agree with Communique some parts.
I had been lived in Toronto for last 4 years.
Frankly speaking, Toronto is a very good city. I feel it probably can match up with Chicago, or 50% of NYC.
Multi-culture is even more obvious than in NYC.
But keep in mind that there are less high buildings than some super citys like NYC.
When talking about job opportunity, it is better to compare city with city, not country with country because actually once you settled down in one place, you probably can not go hunting jobs in another side of country.
So, the job opportunity # in GTA (Great Toronto Area) is about 75% of Chicago or 1/3 of NYC.
Many people told stories about immigrants can not find job in Canada. That is not true. The truth is that most of immigrants go from USA get job within half year even in 2001. I admit that some immigrants go direct from their homeland do have hard time to get job in Canada because of lacking English communication ability and North America work experience. For people who have been worked in USA for some time, finding a job in Canada is almost guaranteed.
The thing I don't like in Canada is that the workload is light and business is quite slow. So many lazy colleagues and from time to time union threaten to strike (for raise salary). Lots of our taxes are wasted for this huge government's unnecessary spending.
As of discrimination, I don't think there is too much. I feel there is some, but not very obvious. Part of the reason I think is because lots of immigrants actually live better than average traditional Canadian. It is true that many local teenth only finish high school and enjoy work as labor. You could say that is jealous.
Good Luck & enjoy life in Canada.
