There's no need for you to be negative.
Obviously you have benefitted already from what's happened. Think about people who are stuck (just as you were up until recently) and want to 'try' to make things work for them too....
wish people were more understanding of others also. Why is it people forget what it was like for them when they were in same boat?
That's exactly what I'm saying. Flowers campaign has run its course and it's not going to benefit anymore. We need to come up with fresh ideas.

Folks,
Iam starting this new thread so that people will know what are the pros and cons leaving a company once GC is approved.
1.What are all the things to be noted while leaving the company after getting GC.
2.To be specific how long a consultant should be with company after GC is approved.
3.Also once GC is approved and if the consultant is off the payroll for say 2 to 3 months will there be any problem while filing for citizen ship.
There is alreayd a thread in IV forums explaining in detail and discussing the pros and cons of this, please refer that......

Folks,
Am on H1B and have already applied for 485 (EB2 I May 2006). I am not sure if I am allowed to day trade in the current status. By day trading I mean not just investing in stocks and not just buying and selling stocks in a single day -- I am asking about making perhaps 10 trades in a day (5 rounds of buy, sell)? I understand IRS can call you out to be a full-time trader but the rules for this are not laid out clearly, as far as I can understand. Anyone out there with relevant links/personal experience on this one? Would really appreciate your feedback.
Thanks!

Hi there, thanks a lot for all your help - I won't start early at the second employer then but am still a little confused about how long it takes after filing the petition until i receive the receipt. One lawyer said we'd have to do premium processing since i will be back from Germany 4 weeks prior to switching jobs, but from what you guys said that shouldn't be necessary, correct? Thanks!

greyhair - that was something i tried on my own and i have never represented IV.
you are right we may sue congress but to win that is much much tough as even the judge is been appointed by the president which i guess is a member of congress :) but one can certainly try.
this requires a big movement for which IV is a very nice platform. that is the reason i keep shouting on this forum that nothing will happen untill you somehow make uscis held accountable or in this case even congress accountable.
Filing a Lawsuit against USCIS and CONGRESS together may lead us somewhere.

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?

Can you share how you can check your status online after you've filed I-485? Who would send you the URL --your immi lawyer or the USCIS? Also, my lawyers filed said they filed my 485, AP, EAD the same day. Is that possible?

Maybe some of us might be aware on the importance of umbilical chord and cord blood. They are life savers as they contain stem cells which can be used to treat hematopoietic and genetic disorders.
Let me tie this to an important activity that happens in southern part of india (maybe its prevalent too in entire india - not sure though).
Whenever a baby is born, the umbilical chord is cut and a clip is put up in the baby's navel end with the umbilical chord part extending out. In a matter of few days the external portion will heal and fall off.
This is then taken to a goldsmith who in turn stuffs this into a small golden (or silver depending upon one's capacity) and seals them air tight (mind this air tight) using fire. this is then tied along with a thread and is generally worn around the hips of babies.
Maybe our ancestors knew that this part of tissue might help in healing some disorders for the babies. Who knows better than them. Many of us indians would have worn this without much aware of its importance.
Hope that I have submitted a informative post here.
hmm.. are you saying that ancient indians specialized in stem cell research? :p

I do not think USA is losing ground. If China and India thinks that they are Really improving economy Why can't they make their currencies free Trade? Why are they artifically Keeping exchange rates. The reason is if really a country is stronger then currency should go up and US dollar should become weaker. But India and Cannot sustain as the export business will go down for India and China if their currency becomes too strong. So India and China are looking for US and europe Market. So inter dependence is always there. There is lot of speculation that India will exceed US in 2020. But it is far from true. For stronger Indian economy India needs US Consumption. For that USA needs to be stronger. May be lot of human resources are there in india. But that will be also resolved in another 20 Years because still Inflow is more than return to india. 80% of H1s are Indians apart from lot of L1 people.
Senthil,
When people talk about currencies, they miss a very very important point. US dollar has an in-built protection that most asian currencies do not have. Do you know the fact that majority of countries in the world have their reserves saved up in dollars. A free fall in dollar is less likely because that is also going to deplete the value of reserves owned by each country. Asian currencies (read Indian, chinese) do not have that in-built protection. Hope you take that into consideration next time you talk about currency restrictions.

Can anybody please help in answering below questions on my case? I really appreciate your help. This is urgent for me.
#1: I am working for Company A (current company). My GC processing details (with current company):
1. Labor Approved.
2. I-140 Approved with priority date of Aug 2006 (Category -EB2)
3. I-485 - NOT filed
#2: I am on 6th year of H1-B. My current H1-B is valid till Jan 29, 2011 (less than 365 days from today).
I want to change job and join Company B (new company) for excellent offer and life long stability.
As per my understanding, for continuous H1-B extension & GC approval on existing priority date, I must stay with existing company(A). But attorney of new company(B) is saying he will be able to handle my H1-B extension and may be able to save my priority date also by filing new PERM & I-140. I am not sure whether attorney of new company(B) is correct or not. Can anybody please help in answering below questions?
Ques : If new company(B) transfers H1-B and USCIS will grant H1-B for 3 years based on approved I-140 with current company(A):
A. Can USCIS revokes extended period ( after Jan 29, 2011) if current company(A) revokes their approved I-140 before new company(B) gets approval of new PERM and I-140?
B. Can new company (B) start new PERM application during my extension period (after Jan 29, 2011)?
C. Can new company (B) transfer Priority date even if existing company(A) revokes their I-140?
A. The validity of the extended H1 if the underlying I-140 is revoked is also more or less ok: almost all lawyers say a revoke does not matter (even lawyers from a couple of the top immigration law firms in the country that I had spoken when I was in that same boat a couple of years ago) . Some say because regulations are unclear, the USCIS could in theory decide suddenly that the H1 is not valid, but even they have never heard of this really happening. They say the law leaves a possiblity of this open by being unclear.
B. yes, new company can start another PERM
C. yes, new company can transfer PD even if the I-140 Is revoked. The USCIS has thus far taken a position that PD porting is not possible only if the I-140 was revoked by USCIS because of fraud by the previous employer. 'Normal' revoking has not made a difference.

well.. my attorney says.. i can be on LOP for 3-4 weeks..at the most..so i may have to change to H4..
If the company gives a letter of avaliablity of the job..will that be binding?
i.e. should i work for that firm..after getting a GC..
I know 2 cases where the filer was on LOP for more than six months (atleast in one case):
Case 1: The guy went for his MBA
Case 2: A colleague whose GC was being processed in one of my previous companies way back in 2001. He got laid off. was on LOP. But the guy kept attending office and working for free. Then he got really lucky he was absorbed back.
In fact some companies like IBM let you go on sabbatical. Meaning you can do whatever you please for a year then come back. It is legal.
I suggest you get a second opinion from another lawyer before wasting a LOP.
Also your second question I am not 100% sure. Then anything is possible if the company wants to support you. Cause GC can be for a future job offer. I heard of someone who applied for US GC consular processing while working in Singapore on the basis of a open job offer here. He got the GC but never came to US.
Anyhow, all the best. I could not log in earlier because of some weird login errors, otherwise would have answered before.

As per the rule: Once you start working in a full time capacity for another company (other than your current H1B employer) will mean that your H1B is no more active. Something happens to your I-140 and then you are screwed (Remember that you cannot get back to H1B status after you started using EAD with a company other than your current H1B employer). So, be careful before you use your EAD until your I-140 is approved and 6 months of I-485 filing (I assume you completed the 180 day rule).

Your new employer has to start GC from scratch, but you can retain your old PD if your I140 is approved.
