WH-4 Form is meant for complaining against employer.
Please search this forum as I had posted this before a couple of times. Dont worry, DOL/USCIS is going gangbusters
after H1B employers. You first threaten sending the link to your employer. Often that works. If they dont budge then
file the WH-4. Unfortunately WH-4 may wreck the H1B petitions/extension of other employees working for that
company(bodyshopper).
WH4 has nothing to do here with this case. WH4 is not panacea for anything to everything.

Don't worry Matt_Peru, if you have a fedex confirmation that USCIS has received it then you are good to go. USCIS these days is pushing the H-1b transfer/extension petitions to its extreme. Be prepared to expect a reply from USCIS only near to the 14th/15th day deadline for your petition. It'll take them approximately 2 weeks just to acknowledge your petition, and then your 15 day premium processing timeline will begin. Further, they might issue you a RFE on the 14th day after that. When you reply to the RFE petition, they'll give you a decision only after 14 days or so, not before that.
Gone are the days when PP H1b petitions used to be processed accurately in a weeks' time. Now even though you'll send the petition by overnight fedex, its upto USCIS's discretion to acknowledge whenever they'd like, and then the premium processing timeline will start.
I don't mean to discourage you here, but just to let you know of the ground realities as I recently faced with my own PP petition. People using regular processing are even more poorer with the total processing timeframe(including RFE) nearing about 4-5 months. In your case, if you were to get an RFE it'll be 3 months or so, if you don't it'll be about a month or so.

Hi,
I recieved my EAD card recently and noticed that the date of birth on the card is not correct(I filled the application incorrectly the montha day got swapped),can you please suggest on what i have to do to correct the date on the card.
Infopass or calling USCIS wont help anything, you have to send that card with new form(forgot form#) along with orginal EAD card.

I received renewed EAD cards a week ago. I had applied a couple of months ago. I noticed that the renewed EAD card also says 'Fingerprint not available'. My fingerprinting was done in March 08.
Is this expected? Does anyones EAD card have a fingerprint on it?

There is no need everyone to be able to see personal details of the IV members. The admin should keep this list securely locked and use only when appropriate. A lot of bad things can happen if this data is open for the public.
More than 3,000 people have trusted the core members by sending their personal details and this trust should not be abused. We must be careful!

Hmm, I'm a Sci-Fi and Fantasy fan, but haven't read the Discworld books. Maybe I should give them a try... but isn't there something like a gazillion books in the series?

You cannot work on EAD...but if you apply for EAD replacement and if you received receipt, then you can work on receipt for 90 days. Hope this helps.

Hi,
I will be traveling to India tomorrow and My AP expires 30-Aug-2010. My trip is only for 10 days and I will be back by Aug12.
So I was wondering if there will be any issues at POE or in India, since my AP expires in less than 30 days?
This is my second trip on AP.
Also, what all I need to carry? I have EAD, Employment letter, 485-receipt, 2 Pay stubs, W2 ?
Adding to this, my PD will be current from Aug-1st :(
Any suggestions, inputs most welcome. (This is a medical emergency with parent.so cannot avoid)

1. With the latest mess with DOS and USCIS, are we asking them too much by asking them to just accept the 485 applications and provide interim benefits and are ready to wait for the approval of the green card for 4 or 5 years?
2. Do you think DOS and USCIS are pushing hard and churning money from the Legal immigrants who go by the law by increasing fees every year or 2?
3. IS any politician considering any relief for the peoples who go by the book and pay taxes?
4. Do u think becoming illegal rather than being legal provides some relief considering what ever has happend in the last decade?

People keep talking about RFE and LUD (soft LUD, hard LUD). Can someone explain what these are and what do they signify? I have my EAD, AP and my 140 is just approved. I have already passed 180 days after the filing of 485. If I change jobs can my employer still revoke my I-140 and harm my 485? These may be repeated questions but I am new to the forum .. and I m unable to get specific answers.
Thanks in advance guys.
If your I-140 is approved then the employer cannot revoke anything. You are completely free, under AC-21, to change employers. It is the situation with an unapproved I-140 that is ambiguous.

Employer A:
-Currently on their H1 (6th year fag end) and with an ongoing 485 proces 180 days passed.
-Employer A is threatening to withdraw the I 140 if I move out from their company.
Employer B:
-Fortune Client where am currently working as a contractor
-B is filing my H1 and would be offering me to use H1 or AC 21 to port to their company.
I am transferring to company B upon H1 extension approval and then later use AC 21 when ever required.
However, before I use AC 21, if the I 140 is revoked, am I still eligible to use AC 21?
Does revoking I 140 by the employer after I 140 approval has any effect if I dont use AC 21 prior to revoking?
If you have your 140 approved, then if Emp A withdraws may not cause any damage, but if your 140 is not approved and if Emp A withdraws it, certainly cause a big damage.

Is there any problem with my posting ? He sent me an email with the details, so I thought let me put it here, so I did. Thanks, next time I will tell my friends to become member of this forum, which sucks because of people like you.

For degree evaulation , pls visit AERC web site at www.aerc-eval.com/ There are other agencies as well that do these evaluations.
After that take CBEST, if you clear the exam, apply for admission to a credentail program. It will take about 50-60 credit hrs to complete the program. It will include about 4 months of teaching a 2 different schools which is called as directed teaching.Also you need to clear a battery of 3 exams called CSET which establishes subject matter competency in the subject credential you are working on. After that you apply to the Commission of Teacher Credentialing at the state capital and you get your certificate. Depending on haw fast you go, it could take any where between 2 years to 3.5 yrs to finish the program. Jobs are plenty in areas of Math, Physics for sure. Schools look for delivery style and communication skills a lot.
Take a look at your time left on H1B , make sure that ur wife can complete the program within your 6 year of H1B else she would not be able to convert from H4 to H1 unless you get your GC or EAD. Pls email me if you have any additional questions.
Salary is so-so about 50 K starting in CA, but good thing is that you work for only 9.5 months and your vacation and schedule could sync with that of kids and you could spend a good amount of time with kids unlike the other 8-5 jobs...!

Let me add one more wrinkle:
Do you guys think I would lose my right to use EAD if I move to another employer by transferring my H1B? (I still have 2 years on it).
Please research the forumn for answer to your question...has been discussed a lot of times before...
To answer in short...You will loose your right to use EAD if your I40 is still pending and your employer decides to revoke it...

Where did everyone get the 10 days estimate from??
As far as I read, the production date for the new system is 10/29.. So, maybe suprises in December bulletin.

It does not make sense to me how folks who are on L1 visa and manage some people can go at par with the people of Extraordinary ability .
I can understand if they holding a position where they make some policies/ generate bussiness that gonna have major impact on Employees or organizational direction ...
But I have seen some people who not at par qualified has applied for GC on EB1 category just because they are on L1 Visa it is getting expired....
But i feel that there is a big glitch in the definition of this category which many of the DESI Companies are abusing ....:(
you do not need to be on L1A to apply for EB-1 managerial as long as you meet the requirements of being a manager as per USCIS definition. also eb-1 managerial is not a self-file - it needs to be filed by employer.
