I have to admit that I'm a little less educated in these immigration things than a lot of others. So, some questions might be of very basic nature.
I have been with a company for almost 9 years now. It was a relatively small one (2000 people). A bigger company (20,000 people) bought that. And, an even bigger (70,000 people) one bought that !! In all this process, my H-1B and GreenCard applications have been well-cared for by the company attorneys/lawyers. My I485 was filed in July 2007 during the rush. I have EAD...it has been renewed once as well.
My PD is NOT current as of September VB.
Although I have EAD, I used my H-1B extension to enter US in 2008 as this H-1B is valid till Jun 2010.
Now, I see a possibility of getting laid-off due to the latest acquisition/merger.
In order to find a new job, I want to know what all things I should care about and/or worry about. I don't think if I get laid-off, the company will do anything nasty without talking to me or at least telling me. So, here is what I'm trying to find out :
00. Should I immediately hire a lawyer to care for my pending I485 case with USCIS ?
01. If laid-off, what documents should I ask from my company for my records ?
02. I have EAD. So, is it true that I can still live in US as long as I want/my case is in pending status even if I cannot land a job ? If not true, how much time do I have on my hands to wrap-up and leave ?
03. Do I HAVE TO find a new employer that will be willing to support my I485 case ? If so, what all things the new employer will need to do ? Or, can I join a company that is may not be willing to support a foreign national's GC process and handle the case myself ?
04. Is it ABSOLUTELY necessary to find a job that identical to what job I'm currenytly doing and my LC was certified for ?
05. If and when laid-off, can I do part-time jobs that are related to the field of my epertise but not same in nature as in my LC. For example : If I'm a Java programmer, can I teach at a training institute couple hours a day, 3-days a week ?
Any response will be very much appreciated...
Thanks&Regards

Hey,
I'm hoping you guys can help me choose a lens. My boss said I could order the new Nikon D40X, and the package options I see are as follows:
body with 18-55 lens & 55 -200 lens OR
body with 18-135 lens.
Which would be better, why, or what factors should I consider in choosing.
Thanks. I have CC in hand, but don't want to order til I here back from my dphoto friends.

Similar case. My lawyer told me that we can't apply the second I140 under premium because the original labor is gone with the first I140. So, I could not wait for second I140 and went ahead and filed for 485 under EB3.

That remains to be seen. Congress cannot act in a mere speculation that there will be spierce competition between EU and US on skilled labor. US still attracts a lot of foreign skills. Increasing the number is not always seen as a solution but streamlining is or efficiency in adjudication is.
Anothe problem is that US thought it is adding more into the work force everyyear by giving out immigrant visas (EB). This is wrong because most of the applicants are already in the workforce under H1B and their dependents. What EB visas do was to retain these foreign skills by giving them permanent residence status. Therefore, EB visas are there not to add into the workforce but to maintain the current workforce.
The real visas for adding into the workforce is the H1B, which is temporary and only 65,000 per year which in a week time was used up.

Thanks

You can still get a 1 year extension claiming that your PERM application is still pending. It all depends on the officer that the decision has not been made on PERM application.
The PERM is already denied and you can not get the extension based on the denied PERM.

Can you change the ad? I think more correctly it would be if it sounded like:
Bachelors degree + 5 years OR master's degree required.
It would exactly fit and your description and EB2 requirements

I have filed my H1B extension on November as my H1B is expiring on 23rd Feb.
I haven't got my approval yet. I have currently EAD and my I140 approved.
My question is if I don't get my approval on or before 23rd Feb what will happen to my status?
My Lawyer said once you filed you have 140 days (or 160 days forgot) for approval meaning even if it does not get approved on or before I will be on H1B till I complete 140 days from date of filling. Otherwise I will be on EAD status.
Please advise.

Folks,
Here's my situation: Eb2 India (PD of 24th May 2006), filed 485 ONLY for self in September 2008, got married later and hence wife is not yet added to my 485 application. She is dependent H4 on my H1 visa -- so even though I have EAD, I am NOT using it.
Changing jobs now going to same title, similar job duties. The lawyers at hiring company say I can use my EAD and H1b interchangeably! And my understanding was that the moment I use EAD, my H1B is annulled. Is this not right?
Second question -- the lawyer mentions that even if my date becomes current and we can for some reason NOT get my wife's 485 application in, we can always do follow-to-join without any issues. Has someone had any experience with this. My understanding was that I NEED to make sure my wife's 485 application reaches them on the 1st of the month in which my date is becoming current.
Could someone PLEASE comment on these two questions?
Thank you much!

get a second opinion from the lawyer - use the upcoming IV conference call with the lawyer

Not normal, but what about I140 approval?. It is part of that and must be there. Did you apply I140 and I485 togther? If yes, it may be missing because of processing backlogs.
I did not apply together. 140 was approved in May 2006. 140 does have the Priority Date but in the 485 Receipt Notice the Priority Date field is blank. I applied for 485 in July 2007.

Moon mission is quite a technological jump! As per APJ, it all starts from looking into the sky and dreams....imagination, creativity.....
American dream is also lots of ups and downs....
Indians in IT and NASA are products of those dreams....
Nuclear cooperation between India and the US would change energy, infrastructure and development equations fundamentally...
All of the above impact us fundamentally as well.
Why STOP this thread as long as the context is technology, our future and life in 21st century?
