I have changed jobs after 180 days of filing my AOS, although it's in the same of similar classification and my attorney from the new company informed me that time that USCIS is generally very liberal with the "same or similar" classification, as long as the job duties don't change totally.
1) Do I have to ask Company B to apply for anything relating to my GC? I want to make sure that they know and agree to all costs associated with the paperwork? Dont want to end up paying from my pocket as I have heard in a few cases before
-- They may want to file an AC-21 letter ( stating that they have permanently employed you for this position for this salary yada yada yada ... ) and definitely a G28 to change representation on your cases in case of any RFE and other communication by USCIS.
2) I believe since my I-140 is approved for more than 180 days or actually my I-485 being filed for more than 180 days, I am allowed to move, correct?
-- Yes, albeit to a "same or similar" job.
3) Since my I-140 is approved and I have an EAD, can USCIS/Company A cause it to be revoked? OR it doesn't apply to my case?
-- USCIS has no business revoking your I-140, it's your previous employer's property which they may revoke at any time ( due to various issues, not necessarily to get back at you )
4) Do I need to ask Company A to maintain anything? Or just keeping good relations with them is enough :)
-- Keeping a good relation never hurts, but company A doesn't have to maintain anything for you. Good luck in your search !

Hi,
The question I have is : where to return my I-94 (expired and the extended one that came with I797) when I leave by LAND as there are no "US CBP agents/office" when we leave US by land. I went through US CBP website and find that there is a process to send I-94 after leaving the country to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY".
Unfortunately as I will be entering as a Canadian PR, there will not be any stamp in my passport to record my entry to Canada and hence won't be able to prove to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY" my date of departure from US. The reason I am worried is that I don't want to get in to any overstay issues if I need to come to US in future.
Thanks in advance.
When you handover your I-94 to the airline staff there is no recorded evidence of when you handed it over, there is no date stamp per se. Some airlines will not even take it out, esp. if you are travelling to Canada unless you ask them to. Also there is no gurantee that when airlines collect the I-94 it will indeed reach CBP at KY. As far as the entry stamp of the country you are visiting/moving that may not be clear enough to show that dates and some countries will not even stamp passport if you are a PR. Besides USCIS might or might accept it as an evidence of departure. US and Canada do not stamp the passport upon entry for Permanent residents.
The point of all this is, there is no certain way of showing that you have departed with-in the duration of stay. Sometimes USCIS takes boarding pass as the evidence. I think you should just take it easy, go to Canada and send the I-94 that is acctached to your H1-B on the same day with a post mark and make a copy of the receipt etc. That post mark from Canada is an evidence that you were actually in Canada mailing the damn I-94 on your first day of arrival. Other evidences could be the entry receipt of the Car that you will be taking to Canada (not sure about this though).

She should have tried through the emergency quota/appoinment to get her stamping.. Death in immediate family is a accepted for this and I know a colleague you had to go for India for the very same reason, death in the family and returned back after getting his stamping. Got his appointment through EQ. If you fear to get stamped in India, then you can blame the appointment to be 4 months away, etc.. etc...
The article posted is touching, but out lives are not that bad .. We are far more better and we do have a good life.
I do not think one would not go to India just because he/she is scared to get a stamp in India. The loss of someone dear to you can overcome any such fears one might have (for me atleast thats applicable).
In any case, I did not know (neither did my collegaue) of the emergency quota. Thanks for sharing that with us and thanks to forums like these, every day is a learning experience.

Oh Wow.... Learn how to use the equipment. Stop thinking just because you bought it you will be a better photographer. If you look through your images and if one, just one, photo is in focus, the problem is you. PERIOD A camera can't focus on air - so in order for the "50% of the time" images that are in focus to be in focus - the camera must be doing its job. Learn the focus lock and how to set it. Or go to manual focus.

Hey thanks for the reply. I see you mentioned one thing that caught my eye:
-- They may want to file an AC-21 letter ( stating that they have permanently employed you for this position for this salary yada yada yada ... ) and definitely a G28 to change representation on your cases in case of any RFE and other communication by USCIS.
company B is offering me a fulltime position with a 3 month introductory period in which they can fire me without having to provide any reason
- how does this affect my AC-21 application?
- Is there a period within which they have to file for this application?
- Obviously i am assuming if they fire me then i will have to ask the next employer (company c in this case) to file for AC-21?
- Also in this case does any of the 2 companies A and B have the right to revoke to I-140 or just company A?
- do i need to worry about company B messing with my application in any sort?
Thanks in advance and i would really appreciate if you could spent some time in responding to this asap

I recently moved to CA (San Diego). I have a DL valid till 2011, from the state where I lived before. Now, I am in AOS pending status. No more H1B visa and I-94 expired long time back. I have EAD and AP. If I go to DL office for california DL,what will be the validity period? Will it be till the EAD ( which is going to expire in next 3 months ) ? In this case I do not want to show my EAD to apply the licence. Will they accept 485 recipt notice to prove my legal status in USA ? Will they give five year license in this case?

I e-filed my AP recently.
I then sent my supporting documents to the address they gave. The interesting thing is that they actually give in the address - e-filed 1-131. This presumably passed the intial mailroom stuff.
I also got my receipt number instantly and the notice is mailed to me. It can also be tracked online.
Now I wait to see whether e-filing is quicker or not. Maybe not, the only thing I can say is that I got my receipt !

Please join your state chapters and participate in this all important action item.
Take a moment to think about this:
If the bills don't pass before the end of this fiscal year, then we are stuck for one more year (wishing and hoping) before any provisions pass and take effect in Oct 2009. Even if there are any provisions that take effect in Oct 2009, we have to consider the delays due to USCIS backlogs (imagine what CIR will do) and adjudication time. There is really no fun in this lifestyle of uncertainty. This is our chance to make it happen for us. Let each one of us play a key role in deciding our own future. Let's do it.

Yes, it's there - just saw it. Pasted below.

They just added the following as well:
07/11/2007: July 2007 EB 485 Filers, Please Keep the Original of Supporting Documentation
The potential drawback of filing EB-485 during July is the currently unanswered question of "what happens if the rejected applications are not returned for months and if visa number becomes current for him or her in October 2007?" At this time, no one knows how many EB-485 applications have been received by the Service Centers since July 2, 2007. Additionally, there is no way to find out how many more applications they will receive during the next 20 days. Obviously, the number of filings must have slowed down lately as affected by the AILF that they will seek certification from the court to include certain non-filers as members of the class action. Still, the number may turn out to be quite substantial by the end of July. No one knows when the "hold order" will be lifted and how long it will take to process rejection notices and mailings in the future.
Under the USCIS policy, the applicants are not required to submit any "original" evidence for filing of applications and petitions. It will thus be prudent that people may not want to submit original documents "other than medical report" as part of the supporting documentation to the EB-485 applications. Please keep original documents safe against the future need for refiling of the EB-485 applications in the future.
07/11/2007: Sources of Rumor of USCIS Potential Reverse of July 2007 485 Applications Rejection
There has been going around a rumor lately that the USCIS was internally discussing retreat from the 485 rejection decision. It appears that this rumor probably started from the USCIS HQ order over the Texas Service Center to hold all the July 2007 EB-485 applications abeyanbce and not to return the applications to applicants. Unconfirmed sources indicate that because of the order, the Texas Service Center is not returning the EB-485 applications which have been received since July 2, 2007. However, there is no evidence that the decision is necessarily related to its potential decision to withdraw the rejection decision. At this point, its reasons are completion unknown. Please stay tuned.You sure abt this. I could not find it @immigration-law. Can you post the link here ?

Below is my question, please find some time to respond
I currently working on H1 for the last 5 years.
I am a July 2007 I-485 filer and have my I-140 approved.
From what I read from the above thread -
1. Does it make sense to fill an I-9 form with the same employer and start working on EAD, instead of burning my remaining period in H1?
2. That way even if for some reason my I-485 gets rejected, I can continue working by switching to H1?
Thoughts....
