gc_chahiye, Thanks for your response. So, can I be on H1 with my current employer, A, and on EAD with my new employer, B, simultaneously?
Also, employer B might be able to start me on H1-B (my preference--just in case)--though as you said, B will have petition my new H1 for concurrent filing. My other option, of course, is to wait until Feb '08--though I'll miss out on a month's salary from B (not a biggie in order to not have any potential issues).
There are a few lawyers who say this is possible, but the majority consensus is that using EAD with even one employer invalidates your H1.
Dont worry about a months salary at this point. If you want to maintain H1, try to delay the H1 transfer a bit so that you complete as much of 180 days as possible with your current employer.

My opinion (may be incorrect):
You should show your approval notice at the port of entry along withyour passport(visa). The immigration officer should put the date based on your approval notice on your I-94. If he doesn't (make sure you check you I-94 at that time), request him to correct the date. If still he doesn't then last action rule applies as you stated.

Dude,
Take your company attorney & HR guy(al) out for a $250 lunch and first build a rapport with them. Tell them about what you need & do tell them politely that if they care about you as an employee, they need to get on with your immigration process.
Nothing unethical, illegal or embarrassing about push your point forward.
There are ppl who will tell you that sth like this would never work. time ot prove me wrong!
Its your future. Take charge.
Haha. That is an accurate assessment at a 50-foot level. I was pretty disillusioned after a couple of years of working. A mixture of what the fuck am I doing, but not really knowing what to do, and all confused because I was at probably the biggest firm around and and a feeling of even if I switch, what's the point? And not having the balls to switch jobs, for the fear of throwing away what I had, mixed with personal struggles with life and not having the social life that I wanted.
In between all this, the desire to get the GC process kicked off came and went, esp. since I wanted to switch positions to a more people oriented role, and the feeling of gosh, do I want to stay in 6+ years in this job - maybe if I file, then I won't want to change jobs.
As you can see, even I am not sure what was going on there. But my personal life and acclimatizing has sorted itself out rather well of late, and I do want to stay here now that I have a really interesting life (and partly out of fear of throwing everything away and moving somewhere new).
Now, I know that IV is not a self-help trauma group, so I will cut short my story here, which has little to do with the raw facts of my immigration situation :)
And yes, I did not participate or know much about the visa process, or IV till recently, and am a recent need based participant, but I hope that does not stop anyone from contributing their ideas to help me out.
*** Also, to the previous poster (nojoke) who said that big companies usually hold off on perms, are you suggesting that I have a better chance at a smaller company then?
UPDATE: My company attorney suggested talking about this in April, and I am nervous about waiting till then in limbo - things are only going bad to worse, I might as well find a job at a place which will sponsor a PERM sooner rather than later.
I request you to PM me if you have any leads for such companies might still be a good bet for filing a PERM.
uhh..damn immigration process..

Googler,
How is this possible, EB3 ROW also has a limit to how many they can use correct? They only can use what ever is beyond the 7 % used for India/China/Mexico/Phil (28% in total). Out of 1/3 of the 140K.
Am I right here ?
I think EB3 - ROW will stop or retro. next month or for sure in the next couple of months back to where they were. Lot of people here are saying that ROW will be current soon I am not sure where they are getting these facts.
Randy and others, do go through the older threads, there are quite detailed explanation of quota allocations. ROW is the rest of the world, and yes they get to use ALL of the rest: within ROW spillover occurs from EB-1 to EB-2 to EB-3, so whatever visas are available/leftover will be used up by EB-3 ROW -- they have suffered massive retrogression for many years, and now early PDs will not be stuck in the FBI blackhole.
I am not saying that EB-3 ROW cutoff will necessarily move further forward (i.e forward from Jan05) -- DOS intent is to use up all the remaining greencards -- and it might well be that the current cutoff will achieve that goal -- if it doesn't only then will they move the EB-3 ROW dates forward. Oversubscribed countries get a spillover ONLY if EB-1 ROW + EB-2 ROW + EB-3 ROW still leave unused visas.
See my post here (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=224031&postcount=200) as well.

per my lawyer you can come back from EAD to H1 by filing a new H1 petition (if its past 6 years on H1, then you need some basis like approved I-140 or old LC). You will need to leave the US and return to activate the H1. So thats always an option if you jump to EAD.
In your case, you can still file a H1 transfer, if it comes without an I-94 attached (meaning H1 got transferred, but status was not activated which typically happens when last H1 status ended more than a couple of weeks ago like in your case) all you need to do is leave the US and return some PoE where you will get hte new I-94
When I talked to my lawyer few months ago he said the same thing.

This may be affecting a lot of IV members so I thought I bring it up and share the pain with everyone. Some universities in US, like Arizona State University, consider the folks on H1-B or L-1 or EAD non-resident for tuition purposes and charge much higher tuition fee despite the fact that you pay all your taxes, have permanent home in the state, and have been living in the state for years. As far the State is considered, you are a resident but the university chooses not to accept that definition and purposely define you non-resident so that you could be charged much higher tuition fee.
If you are an international student, came to whatever state to study only, have never lived in that state before, and have never paid a dime in taxes in that state then it makes sense to classify you as a non-resident but it doesn’t make any sense to call you non-resident if you have been paying your taxes, made the state your permanent home, and have been living there for years.
Have any of you been in similar situation? If so, did you do anything to address the issue other than just paying the damn high fee? Does this discriminatory university policy violate any federal law?
Any suggestion and discussion would be very much appreciated.

I filed I-765 in January and got 1-year EAD last week. I called USCIS today and explained the error. It took a while to explain this to agent but he got it that this is a renewal application on the basis of pending I-485 without available visa number.
He filed service request for the error. As far as he knew, USCIS will send another EAD and send further instruction about 1-year EAD.
I filed EAD/AP together but the EAD I got is not a "Combo Card" (USCIS Term for combined EAD/AP)
I shall keep you posted.

A friend told me about the E category visa for Australian nationals. Is this true?
According to him, if you become an Australian national, you can use the E-visa.
Has anyone migrated to Australia and returned to US successfully on a E-visa?
Has anyone also applied successfully for a green card on a E-visa?
How long does it take to get Australian nationality?

Stucklabor,
Do not get me wrong - I do not expect the IV activists to jump on the "ideas" I posts. They have done more than enough and have said that many times. Just one thing was not properly handled in my opinion - the backlog issue. There is no excuse for the Immigration dept for this backlog. This is a simple clerk's job which they screwed. IV as a an organization should clearly state it and insist on fast resolution by the respective authorities, not just foggy promises.
But it is time for the "grassroots" to start thinking and acting, not just waiting for someone else to do it for them. That is why I keep this conversation going and suggest "ideas".
Again, thanks for the good job done by the core team and volunteers done until now. Unfortunately this is just a beginnig of a long jurney...

I bought a D70 October 29th, and have terrible back focus problems. I've been a photographer since 1959, used Nikons since Vietnam in 1968, and know what I'm doing.
To test whether the back focus might be my fault somehow, I have had several friends use the camera without telling them what I was testing. All had awful back focus; not one low light, wide aperture image is anywhere near acceptable.
Clearly, this is a systemic problem with the D70. I had similarly disabling problems with my first two FEs when I bought them in about 1978; apparently Nikon still tests its products on its first year's customers. Back then, it caused me to change to Canons until I bought an N90s and came back to Nikon.
I might do the same thing again. It is very sad; I like my Nikons and we've seen a lot together, but this is the way a company drives its loyal customers away.

Dude,
Take your company attorney & HR guy(al) out for a $250 lunch and first build a rapport with them. Tell them about what you need & do tell them politely that if they care about you as an employee, they need to get on with your immigration process.
Nothing unethical, illegal or embarrassing about push your point forward.
There are ppl who will tell you that sth like this would never work. time ot prove me wrong!
Its your future. Take charge.
Haha. That is an accurate assessment at a 50-foot level. I was pretty disillusioned after a couple of years of working. A mixture of what the fuck am I doing, but not really knowing what to do, and all confused because I was at probably the biggest firm around and and a feeling of even if I switch, what's the point? And not having the balls to switch jobs, for the fear of throwing away what I had, mixed with personal struggles with life and not having the social life that I wanted.
In between all this, the desire to get the GC process kicked off came and went, esp. since I wanted to switch positions to a more people oriented role, and the feeling of gosh, do I want to stay in 6+ years in this job - maybe if I file, then I won't want to change jobs.
As you can see, even I am not sure what was going on there. But my personal life and acclimatizing has sorted itself out rather well of late, and I do want to stay here now that I have a really interesting life (and partly out of fear of throwing everything away and moving somewhere new).
Now, I know that IV is not a self-help trauma group, so I will cut short my story here, which has little to do with the raw facts of my immigration situation :)
And yes, I did not participate or know much about the visa process, or IV till recently, and am a recent need based participant, but I hope that does not stop anyone from contributing their ideas to help me out.
*** Also, to the previous poster (nojoke) who said that big companies usually hold off on perms, are you suggesting that I have a better chance at a smaller company then?
UPDATE: My company attorney suggested talking about this in April, and I am nervous about waiting till then in limbo - things are only going bad to worse, I might as well find a job at a place which will sponsor a PERM sooner rather than later.
I request you to PM me if you have any leads for such companies might still be a good bet for filing a PERM.
