EAD Efiling was done on Monday 06/23, but haven't used AC21 till now.
But there is a soft LUD on 485s (both mine and my wife's ) on 06/25.
I don't know exactly what is, but i think it's related to EAD renewal. Because my PD is Nov/2003 EB3 india and there is no way i'm near the end of road for GC
Did you report that you used AC-21 to USCIS? If so, then it might be triggered a LUD in your 485. Nothing to worrry.

Hi All,
My company applied 485 and h1b. I am in AOS status and having EAD. My company laid off me on March and they are not revoke my h1b and 140(they may hire me back once get new job). Mean time shall i work hourly job and get around $1200 per month with same job description with using my EAD(new company will run payroll and W2). Also i am keep looking permanent full time job with my higher salary.
For the hourly job they asking to fill I-9(employment eligibility verification will inform USCIS). On that form asking my A# with EAD expiration date.
Is there a chance USCIS will know my hourly job?. My concern - this hourly job will create a problem for my GC process (chance to get REF) because rate is low
Please give me your valuable suggestion
Thanks

I am quite happy with the answer from Logiclife. That is a logical response considering the difficulty we have with fund raising. Though IV has been there for just three months, we did a damn good job of raising the awareness and mobilizing people impacted.
My interest in raising the question was to gather the feedback and see what happens. Even though IV is focussing on BECs and retrogression right now, if this campaign is successful, there are other problems to solve down the line. Once we get the Greencards, are we going to stop looking at problems faced by others and go into our own shell like most of the current H-1B holders are doing right now? Or we take the same fighting spirit from this endevor and continue the efforts?
I am predicting that extending the V-Visa provison would become the goal of atleast some of us after getting a Greencard. I have few friends who could not bring their spouses here and I feel their pain.
Jinger,
Would you be constructive, bring some friends, organize and lead an effort to get this provision and prove you are unselfish? Criticizing someone is easy, but when you start doing the job, you would find the difficulties. So I urge you to move on to action, not criticism.

My Indian employer offered me to continue working from home from US. Is that legal to do when you are in the US on an H4 visa? Thanks..
If you get salary in INR which is credited to your Indian Bank A/c
then you should be fine.
If you get salary in USD credited to US Bank A/C then its ILLEGAL.
Thanks,
Krishna

Good morning everyone!
I have an H1B issued in October 2006. Also, my concurently filed I-140 and I-485 were filed in November 2007 and are pending and I have just renewed my EAD.
Yesterday, I received an email from HR asking me to provide a new EAD, because the old one expires. Their records indicate that my status is pending I-485, not H1B. Obviously I never told them to use the EAD, because I know the H1B may be invalidated. I provided them with a copy of the H1B when it was issued, but later the lawyers may have provided them with a copy of the EAD and they just updated my status from H1B to pending I-485. HR doesn't know anything about immigration processes or regulations.
Given HR fixes their record now to show I am working on H1B, is there any way USCIS can find out that HR used the EAD to verify I have the authorization to work and invalidate my H1B? Is there a database where all companies input the basis on which their non-citizen employees are authorized to work that USCIS has access to on a regular basis and which shows that basis/status at each point in time (like a log)? What does to work on H1B or EAD actually mean (what does HR have to do differently - maybe when they file taxes?) and how can USCIS know whether one works with H1B or EAD?
I really appreciate any hint/advice and thank the helper(s) in advance.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. Here's my situation:
Yes, Mats, it jiggles when I adjust the camera. Bracketing should help some, but my understanding of the HDR process is that you want to get a range of exposures from almost black to totally blown out. My camera will bracket through three exposures, one stop on each side of the setting. That doesn't typically get the span that is recommended for the HDR thing in Photoshop CS2, so I'm still looking at touching and adjusting the camera.
The camera is really just a point and shoot, a Minolta Z3. There are no available shutter release cables, remote controls, or other accessories for remote operation of it. However, my next camera....! ;)
Lastly, the tripod is a $30 wal-mart model. It isn't really so wobbly in the legs, but the main mast of it, where I mount the camera, rotates freely through about a 3 - 4 degree range horizontally. This is due to play in the cheap, plastic parts on it. My short term work around for that is probably to jam juicy fruit gum into the gaps or something.
All of this equipment that I bought was for me to learn the basics on, and I am doing a lot of learning these days. So, there again, my next tripod.... ;)

35-45k Euros is 45-58USD
taxes are 30-35%
Rent is 900Euros (Thats a lot)
No familiar contingetnt :(
No savings, no fun.
I am not saying you shouldnt look into other options, but this doesnt sound rosy to me.
Belgians enjoy one of the best quality of life in the world, job security, social security and free healthcare for life. Jobs are plenty and EU is a big job market specially when you can pick up some basic language skills (French or Dutch).
Belgium and EU countries in general have good labor laws which protect an employee. Its not easy for a European employee to be fired as in the US. I remember a French guy who worked in my office back in 2002 and was fired because of cost-cutting. His 10 year stint with the company brought him 50,000 Euros in settlemet (That's about 7-10% of salary for each year he worked for the company). The best part was he ended up in a new job within a month.
Unlike US you are certain to become a "permanent resident" after 5 years of stay on a work permit which in turn provides lot more opportunities in the long run. Not a bad option to consider specially when you compromise a little on the pay.

The 800K pending 485s include people who have filed multiple 485s.
Cases like
1) Spouses filing thier own as well as dependant.
2) More then one primary filing.
So i guess there are about 100K duplicate and invalid applications.
In a way our community contributes to our own downfall...
Processing will also be delayed by people filing unnecessary Service requests for FP & AP etc., even when there is no use in near term just to be on par with everyone else.

Though the principal employment-based categories are current for July, future retrogression is possible later this fiscal year, particularly if demand for immigrant visas increases substantially. Visa numbers can retrogress in the middle of a month and become unavailable without prior notice. If there is a mid-month retrogression, USCIS could elect to stop accepting adjustment applications. While this is unlikely to occur in July 2007, it becomes more and more possible as the fiscal year progresses.

So, it looks like it can retrogess anytime. However, I don't think there is anything we can do to avoid retrogession. Do the best you can and file as fast as you can. No point worrying!

Sab,
If you do the paper file for which you submit all the initial evidence and supporting docs, you dont need to do finger printing.
but if you do e-file then you will have to go for finger printing.
Anytime you do your finger printing it is valid for about 15 months.
For me too I gave my finger prints in Nov 2007, but still USCIS sent me FP notification for code2 Finger printing.
by the way USCIS's RFE for me turn out to be that they dont have my code-2 finger prints in their system, so they need to know the details about my FP appointment and what's the schedule.
USCIS processing is really goofed up for e-filed applicants.
This is my personal expereince and their are lot of other folks who filed around the same time frame are facing the RFEs for fingerprints.
anyways i am going to respond to my RFE once i complete my biometrics on august 22nd 2008, by that time i will have the acknowledgement from the Seattle, ASC that they indeed complete my code-2 FP for the EAD purpose.
If you do paper based EAD renewal, you will receive EAD cards but it says fingerprints not available. As long as your employer is accepting the EAD cards it doesnt matter wether its with fingerprints or without fingerrints.
I hope this helps.

Thanks. I did contact USCIS and they have accepted my request to expidite the cast. It is to be seen if it will actually happen.
My other question is, if my renewal does not come through in-time, since the renewal application is in system, can I continue working after the expiry of my current EAD? Or do I have to quit the job and/or leave the country?
Best,

It is enforceable as it is "I owe you". Smart and cunning guy.
the law depends on state. Its worth paying the lawyer few hundred bucks to findout what laws pertain to Ohio specifically.
Generally bonds are not legally enforceable, but lawyers may know better and explain you the fine print.
