Hi all,
I am from Grand Rapids. I'd like to help.
I think, It would be a good idea to get an approximate count of legal immigrants who are stuck in the GC process in Michigan. We should use these numbers to write to our Senator and make them feel that the State of Michigan is not about americans only, its about us as well.
What are you thoughts? Amit, do you want me to email you on your email address?
thanks
Akhilesh.

24.�Moonlighting� Under EADs
AILA requests clarification on whether an H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant present in the United States under a valid petition and who moonlights pursuant to an EAD still maintains his H-1B or L-1 status. It is AILA�s belief that an H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant who maintains employment with his or her petitioner and �moonlights� with a different employer on the basis of an approved EAD continues to maintain his or her underlying nonimmigrant status. Please see the attached Addendum III for AILA�s arguments in support of this position.
Response: We appreciate your request and will take this matter under advisement.
ADDENDUM III �Moonlighting� Under EADs
For many years there has been uncertainty concerning maintenance of status by H-1B and L-1 nonimmigrants with pending applications for adjustment of status who �moonlight� pursuant to an EAD. Some of the confusion in this area is due in part a legacy INS memorandum issued in 1997 in which the Service stated that �after receiving the EAD, the alien may work for any employer desired and is not subject to E, H, or L restrictions. However, such an alien would lose his or her E-1, E-2, H-1B, or L-1 nonimmigrant status by working in open-market employment.�21
AILA believes the language emphasized above merely signals that one would lose his underlying nonimmigrant status by changing employers, rather than by adding one. It is AILA�s belief that an alien who adds an employer does not lose his underlying nonimmigrant status merely by working pursuant to an EAD, which is authorized employment under 8 C.F.R. � 274a.12(c)(9) and INA � 245(c)(8).
The 1997 legacy INS memorandum was issued before the rules were changed in 1999 to permit H-1B and L-1 nonimmigrants to be admitted to the United States pursuant to a nonimmigrant visa or advance parole, and to be employed either pursuant to an approved EAD, or a valid nonimmigrant petition approval.
In guidance issued by legacy INS after the 1999 rule change, the Service stated the following:
However, an H-1 or L-1 nonimmigrant will violate his/her nonimmigrant status is s/he uses the EAD to leave the employer listed on the approved I-129 petition and engage in employment for a separate employer.22 (Emphasis in original).
AILA believes that a nonimmigrant who �moonlights� pursuant to an EAD has not �left� his or her employer, and thus is still maintaining proper status. AILA requests USCIS to confirm that, in the case of an H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant, present in the United States under a valid petition in either classification, who moonlights pursuant to an EAD, still maintains his H-1B or L-1 status.

hi mirchiseth, I recently applied AP to wrong location. I guess some one had the same situation while back. Do you remember how did that fixed.
Basically my case is pending at texas, but i wrongly sected missory and so my receipt number says MSC, that is what i realized that it was efiled to wrong location. Any help in this would be appreciated.
I also took infopass appointment to check, i am not sure if i get help with out getting the confirmation receipt as i efiled yesterday.
There is a cut-off date. Until then they forward those applications to right center (it may take a while), check when is that.

kpchal2 & seekerofpeace - I have run out of ideas now.
While we wait for October 1st (assuming visa numbers are over), what can be done in the next 13 days?
I am checking with different attorneys, and might change from my current attorney as he is totally useless. He opened a SR for me, and everytime I call him, he tells me to wait for 30 days.
I have taken Infopass, met the local senator, opened SR and nothing worked. Any ideas on what can be done next?
I went through this last year in August and September. Nothing happened, instead I got a reply in October (by that time my PD was not current), telling me that my PD was not current. They entirely ignored what I had expressed. Nothing can be done to bring results in 13 days. In any case, visas may have already exhausted, however, new visas will be available in October, so there is some hope.
Why cases seemingly work in random?
(i) Work is given out in lots. For example cases 1-100 are given to A, and 101-200 to B. Both begin to work at the same time. Cases 101 gets processed much earlier than case 100. It is possible that by the time case 90 is touched, all visas are gone, so cases 91-100 are left high and dry.
(ii) Receipt date is controvercial. Centers don't care when USCIS got your case. Each center cares when they (the centers) got the case. So for them, receive date is when the center received (which means opened and entered) your case. That's why true receive date is close to ND.
(iii) IO working on a lot suddenly falls sick, and goes away leaving his lot at his desk. Visas are used by other IO's
(iv) A file slipped out to behind the desk, and the case remains pending for a very long time.
(v)...

possible reason for mysterious rejections :
You are a mail room guy, you go home friday (06/29) and comeback on monday (06/02).
You start the monkey business of timestamping incoming mail, but half an hours into the day (around 8 or 9:00 am), you realize "sshhttt: i did not change the date on my stamp, its still read 06-29-2007". In the classical govt. fashion, you do not bother to go back and restamp the applications with the correct datetime. Not because you are evil, but because you simply don't understand the ramifications of early stamping. You think u are doing the guy a favor, putting him/her early in line.. but guess what... the guy's application is gonna get rejected.
Could this be the case with some apps mysteriously being rejected?

I am all for abonding H1B, when did IV promoted H1B program, we have this mess today due to H1B and itz loopholes,
I don't use word slave very lightly, but we need to accept the fact many of H1Bs are handcuffed with current system, We need system similar to Austrialia, Canada a point based system or very similar to Nurses in US they get GC before even coming to US.
H1Bs are truly pulling the wages down, I know I did when I came here I have no argument with anti-immigrants with this subject, but giving GCs to these H1Bs will have fair chance to compete in Market
Corporate leaders such Bill Gates and Senators such as Kennady do know this issue and have deep understanding but they don't give a rat about it,
Please do not say negative things against the H1B visa guys. Remember if it was not for the H1B, you guys would be in ur home countries right now. Let us all please stop abusing the VERY priviledge we have. H1Bs are FREE to change jobs at will. If you dont like your job CHANGE IT or GO BACK. Slaves cannot change jobs OR go back to their own countries. We cannot expect the system to start bowing to our wishes everytime we dont like what we currently have. No i am not an anti immigrant, Yes I am from India and stuck like the rest of you in retrogression. Right now i would walk a million miles to obtain an H1B visa for my spouse who is stuck in limbo coz of this H1B lottery.
Also this discussion is FUTILE. IV now after 2 years of slogging has a "NAME BRAND". Logiclife has explained that this name cannot be changed. It is a good idea to be called "Legal Immigration Voice" but it is TOO late now. Instead of discussing this let us help the Current Immigration Voice name to achieve success.

Thanks Paskal, I fully understand now with the example of the Scarlett Letter. I need to get busy and get another waiver then. Maybe I wasnt very clear on my first post about my stauts. I had had only a first J1 from 2002 to 2005. I wanted to stay so I got a waiver that time, and I tried to get a H1B, but I couldnt get it due to expired documents that I could not get renew from my country so my H1B was denied. Now some years later I decide to come back and the only fast way to come was with another visa J1. So as you explained I need to get my case number and start my process all over again. ONce I get the waiver I will look for a new sponsor and star the H1B process all over again. I cant be very open about this because if my present sponsor realizes that I am doing waiver and everything else I may loose my J1 because I signed a contrat to work for them for 3 years and then go back home. I think it is very unfair, but that is how things work around here.
Thanks so much for your advice. Good luck to everyone in this same boat!

BTW, good to see there is some thought spent in this direction, even if the thought seemingly died down earlier (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=134).

The name check takes 2 years anyway, making a mockery of fast processing times. Even VSC, which is the slowest, takes less than 2 yrs for 485.
Wait a minute; I thought the name check is part of the I485 approval (and for those who file I-140 and I-485 concurrently, part of the I-140 approval). It wouldn't make any sense if the I-485 is approved and they are still checking the identity.
Also, the thread has been quiet due to lack of hope regarding the speed of processing centers (Wata, I am with you on the Nebraska one) and the unreliability of promises for improvements.
No; the 485 approval and name check are two different things. Even after 485 is approved and your PD is current, you don't get the GC until the name check is cleared.

Thanks for your reply "WeShallOvercome", The question which you answered is on top of my head from so many days, I asked some many people and they are not sure, Thanks your help
One more question is right now my wife is on H4, My I140 and 485 are in pending, if my wife got EAD she can use it right?
2) If my I140 denied and her EAD become Void, Is she permitted to stay in USA or She needs to go out of country and enter with h4 status?
Thanks
Ajay
Yes, You can use EAD and start working on it before I-140 approval BUT you can not change employer using AC21 without an approved I-140 even if your I-485 is pending for more than 180 days.
Let me clarify some doubts people have on this thread...
It's your choice whether to use EAD or H1 to work,
You can change employer on EAD as well as H1(EAD is just easier, no application fee involved), provided your 485 is pending for 180 days and 140 is approved.
EAD does not give you the freedom to change employer if the other 2 conditions are not met(140 approval and 485 pending for 180 days). Once these 2 conditions are met, you can change even on H1....

Hello,
My application also returned for the same reason (no I485 receipt notice attached) from Phoenix. Not sure what to do at this time. I never received I485 receipt notices. Hence, I have attached biometric notices in place I485 receipt notices. I have added a cover letter requesting to expedite the process. I am not sure if this request caused some mental disturbance on the person who is supposed to work on my application and may have sent me rejected notice.
I got my wife's and sons entire packet back with the exact remarks, "Incorrect Check amount and no I 485 attached". I had both correct amount of 340.00 and Copy of I 140 attached..I e-filed on June 15th again and waiting to see this time what excuses they come out with now..I did get the receipt notices for both of them yesterday.. What a joke??

News Clips won't help much. Better to get some documents from your Company that shows it really is on the downside like financial statements. However, make sure you also have a proof that when they applied for I-140 and you applied for GC, the company is still in good financial status; that is was only later that the company suffered losses.
92 days lapsed after submitting your GC application and you were approved. Do you have anough evidence to say that in June, the Company is doing alright but not now, September? that in June, your position is still available but not anymore in September? that the company did not hire any replacement for you?
Well what can I get from them? The letter the company send on June did not say I was working for them in that moment. The letter said that they will have a job for me when GC was approved, but they heavely depend on those mortage loans and they have not sold houses in some time.
They did not have job for me when approved.
The promise can not be fulfilled because of bad bussiness.
