Unfortunately, unless we write to our senators, congresswo/men, and media our issues are going to be sidelined. That is why we need to call, write emails and get to DC, step up the advocacy effort.

I left it empty last time. It was approved. The only question I answered in Part 7 was "how many trips do you intend to use...".....I said multiple.
still waiting for an answer to my earlier qn...anybody else in same boat with an answer.?
************************************************** *****
when 485 pending pple r requesting AP to travel out and return back.
the question: 3 on page 3 of the I-131 applicatin - "If the travel document will be delivered to an overseas office, where should the notice to pick up the document be sent:"
in part 7 of the application --> can it be left empty???
since we r expecting to AP approval to arrive by mail to our mailing address, can we leave this question 3 on page3/part 7 EMPTY?
************************************************** *****
thanks

Please be considerate to your good employer and good attorney of yours. You do not want to burn bridges, when you leave. Give them at least 2-3 weeks notice. That is the least or at least work with them for 6 months since that is what the law would require you after getting GC.

H1-b 5.5 years, I-140 approved 1.5 yrs, I-485 pending almost 2 yrs, priority date just got current (JUL2004). Got laid off and will have January check as last pay check. Spouse is on H1-B, whose job is relatively secure for the short term, whose I-140 approved as well but didn't submit I-485 (PD is about beginning of 2007).
1) EAD/AP expire at the end of March. Should I renew EAD/AP now? The company will not do it, if I apply it on my own will CIS notice this and send me an RFE? If they do send me RFE asking for employment verification letter can I fax back a letter (I believe my company still counts me as an employee now) without letting them know I got laidoff?
2) Regarding H4 application: what's the best way to do it, apply on my own or use an attorney? Do I have enough time to do it in one month on my own?
3) If I find a new job quickly, given that I'm in my 6th year of H1-B, will the new employer be able to transfer my H1-B?
4) If my 485's approved but I don't get the card mailed to me at the time I start my new job (if any) is there a problem?
Thanks for your help and Happy New Year to everybody,

Is there anyway we could go about pushing our story in the media? I am sure all of us combined have a a few thousand bachelor's, master's and ph.d. degrees. We are a group of people with highly advanced skill sets and this needs to be advertised. Maybe convincing a few journalists to take up our cause could be an option. Local newspapers, political blogs, radio stations etc. etc.

I went through layoff and got the same response from my lawyer. The day you are not working, you are technically out of status. But I found a job in few weeks the gap between the h1b transfer is May 26th to July 1st. It was technically more than a month.
But these are done on a case to case basis, at times based on your good standing, and skills.
So though I was given 2 weeks pay in lieu of notice (as I was fired without notice), all my accrued vacation (2 weeeks) and 2 months of severance pay, lawyer told me I cannot count that as period of extended pay after layoff. So, I definitely walked a tight rope here.

If we support DREAM act, they will support SKIL bill.
Who are they?, they do not have any voice or vote anywhere. They are ILLEGAL, they broke the law.

This is regarding the recent ( rather today's) enquiry with House Committee of Judiciary on SKIL bill, HR-5744. The bill is referred to Committee on Home land security.
They are on recess till Monday. The first step is to Mark up this bill on there calendar. That is very important. I do not know how we can influence them to do so.
We need to work specially with small group of House of rep under House of Committee on Homeland security. (www.HSC.house.gov).
I believe that chairman of this committee is the most powerful person; it is usually one man show.
We need to draft a letter specifying the chairman.
It is much better to convey one person that 500 representative.
I will be drafting a personal letter and sending him by email, by post and fax.
Based on petition posted in this website , I see almost 1000 people signed. If 1000 people do the same thing to Chairman Rep.Peter King, there is a good chance that he will atleast look at the matter.

As so many members have posted there is no such thing as H1 transfer. If OP continued to work for employer# 2 without joining employer X that is fine as long as OP's employer 2 did not revoke the H1 petition. So OP should be fine , all he has to do is point that he did not accept employer X offer and decided to continue with current employer (i.e. #2) and his work with employer 2 was authorized based on the continued validity of h1 petition of employer 2. Now I saw that OP mentioned somewhere that he used EAD when his H1 with employer 2 expired. This could be a potential reason for the RFE. Here's my take on it:
When OP's H1 ultimately expired there were two possible work authorizations which OP could have used : Join the employer X on H1 since that employer did not revoke the h1 petition even though he did not join them OR used EAD with either employer 2 or employer X. The OP got this RFE for I-485. If you are doing AOS from H1 the burden is on you to prove that even while your I-485 is pending you have not engaged in unauthorized work. I just feel that the IO is doing an extensive scrutiny of the OP's application and trying to make sure that OP did not engage in unauthorized work at point.
In any case the OP should get a good lawyer.

I saw a petitioner recommend GT law in one of the posts. I think she is a lot luckier than me. I have had very bad experience with GT Law recently. Please see the following facts:
1) After 3 months, I was only informed that my salary is not meeting the prevailing wage requirement; 2) After 6 months, I was told that the attorneys are still struggling with the job description themselves without asking earlier for a conversation with my manager to help them resolve the problem. The issue they are struggling is that the field of my advanced degree is not related to the field I have been working in even if my skills sets fit right in!!! Can you believe it that we are actually advising them how to handle this issue and paying them a lot of money???? 3) During the 6 months, the attorneys have been changed twice and the transition of my case from 1 set of attorneys to another was very poor (I was asked for the same set of documents twice). It seems the process started all over again with each change. With the most recent set (the 3rd) of attorneys, they sent my files to the Maryland State to assess my salary level last week after we were informed about salary issue 3 months ago by the 2nd set of attorneys. It has been really a big mess. It has also shown that different sets of attorneys are definitely not talking. 4) When I check with them once every two - three weeks about progress, they would never give me a clear or meaningful answer even though they responded pretty quickly. They don't even want to tell me what has been the maximum processing time of all the labor certification cases they have handled. Now, after 6 months, my job advertisement has still not been launched yet and I have no idea when it will happen. BTW, GT Law is contracted with my company and I am required to use them for labor certification. Now I'm thinking I will have to change to a different company if I want to get it done quickly and successfully.

This sort of response is not surprising at all to me. I sent individual emails to at least twenty members from my state to try and galvanize some action and did not receive one single reply.
There are four of us who seem to be keen to try to get something moving but that seems to be a bit lame when we can only muster four people from an entire state.

I am wondering your logic for using "desi lawyers". They graduated through the same system as any other "book smart" attorney in the "smart" fragomen system. I think it is always a negative to go through a large law firm. An association with a large firm must not be confused with efficiency. Who knows...might be freebies which they provide to HR grp of the large firms keeps them in the picture.......................
I agree with you. Even we have Fragomen attorneys and I did not find them any great. So far I have not had any bad experience with them but they screwed up one of my friends GC and now that person has to leave US.

never worked for "employer x" after H1 transfer, perhaps you are out of status. What is your lawyer saying? You never transferred H1 back to emplyer#2?
I have maintained valid status with my current employer (Employer #2). Employer #2 sponsored H1B was valid until 2008, then I used EAD. I have always maintained valid status. My only concern is I never worked for 'Employer X'.
Would you still see this as an issue...?
Thanks for the response.
