I am planning to change jobs within the next 30 days and my I-140 is currently in process (filed October 2010). I have applied for I-140 premium processing last week and expect to have a response from USCIS by May 6 2011. My new employer is not sure that they can transfer the H1B since I have an I-140 in process with my current employer. The H1B with current employer expires on July 30 2011.
Question:
- Can I transfer H1B to new employer while I-140 is in process with current employer? Can the new employer file for H1B extension after transfer while current employers I-140 is in process? Current employer has confirmed that they do not withdraw the I-140 while it is in process or after it is approved even if employee leaves the job.
- Is it better to transfer H1B after the I-140 has been approved and once transfer is done, file for H1B extension right away? Can the new employer use the old employers I-140 to get a 3 year extension?
Guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I know that there are too many threads open initiating new campaigns, and asking the IV administrators to make the threads sticky. However there is something that we can demand as part of administrative reforms at USCIS, without any need for congressional relief.
When any type of application reaches USCIS, it kinda goes into a black hole. Unless there is a decision on the application, all an applicant do is to cross the figures, and hope that the outcome will be favorable. Worst, sometimes people with later priority date get the approval, and the all a victim with pretty much straight forward case can do is self consolation.
We all know that there is a USCIS case login page, which allows us to create a portfolio and track the case approval. But the information provided by this site is really basic (Informing the applicant that the application was received on such and such date, and its pending for processing at our processing center). Why can't we ask USCIS to improve this portal, so that an applicant can view the details of the case like FP, background check result, priority date, associated 140 status, etc. I am giving this example for a 485 application, but this service can be provided for all other types of cases like H1B, EAD, AP, 140, 485, Labor Certification, etc.
BTW, I saw a note on immigration-law.com, and according to them its a just four (yes only four) member team which is managing their information technology at USCIS. On a lighter note, I feel like creating an Open Source software consortium which will develop the software to add in efficient case processing and better services, where USCIS can download the source code to enable faster deployment of customer services portals.
Anyway, fun apart, I think we should start a campaign to get more meaningful information from customer portal: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp
This way the case processing would be more transparent, an applicant will have more information about the case, the number of phone calls USCIS receive will go down substantially, and people like us will have much more peace of mind. I was wondering if we can come up with a case status detail page, that contains majority of info/updates we applicants want to see. It should not be difficult to compile such information. So meanwhile, when nothing much is expected from Congress on legal immigration relief, at least USCIS can provide this type of service improvement. Any ideas, criticism, pros and cons of such thing?

i'm finishing work on friday and i still havn't got a new job. I'm a really shy person and i hate the thought
Hey, just be confident.. not all people get a chance to go in a place and apply for a job.. besides, if you have all the qualities of an applicant, there is no reason to be shy, rather tell your interviewer on what you can do to be an asset and help the company grows more.:D

Dec. 06 expired a lettler that USCIS send to my employer but we never received the lettler, it was a wrong information for the address my boss was talking with an officer of USCIS and she reported electronically to Nebraska about this problem, we send just in case last Friday again all the documents with the I-140 we don't know what evidence they need, but the thing is that we have to wait ; we don't have a lawyer everything was fine the only problem was that we never received a letter about the I-140 because the address omit the suite number do you think that no matter what we have to find a lawyer ...or just wait... the adjusment was submit in May 2006.

There is no AC21 for derivative applicants. She can join any employer at any time. AC21 comes into picture only for primary applicant. Derivatives get almost a virtual GC in terms of EAD.

Hi there,
I got my FP done yesterday in Newark,NJ ASC. But online status only shows LUD on I-485 case.. I've applied EAD and AP too, but don't see LUD on them.
Also, in ASC they give you form to fillout, I only put my I-485 receipt number on it, should I have put all three receipt numbers?.
Any thoughts,
Thanks,

I have a B.E in Electronics (4 years) and an PGDM in IT (2 years) from India but my I140 is denied on the basis that my PGDM School in India would accept 3 years undergrad and thus the education is not equivalent to M.S in US. I did send the educational evaluation along with I140 but the decision was made on the descretion on CIS.
Please advice if I should refile with education evaluation from anothe agency.

Please ask your lawyer whether the H1 is being filed as " change of status" or "consular processing". If it is consular processing then she will have to go and get the stamping done. As per my knowledge if H1 is rejected she can still enter on H4 since it is still valid. I assume the H1 petition will be filed on 1st April. If she enters after that date then most probably it will have to be consular processing
However please check with your lawyer since the above is only my understanding
Good luck

Wondering if you just called to ask the status or was there any other ruse ?
Good that you straight away got to know about your NC clear status.

Friends,
I just got my PERM approved and I am debating about next steps of my eb-3.
it looks now that with the current retrogression the process will take 5 years. the company I am working for is not very stable and probably will be sold in the next 24 months.
I can look for another company that will sponsor me, but even if I will find one I need to start all over again and that will throw me at least 1 year back (not to mention the money I already spent so far, which was a lot)
What do you think
