Folks,
If an employer withdraws an approved I-140, is it enough to show a future offer of employment letter to keep your 485 alive?
My particular case: I have an approved I-140, with pending 485 (EAD/AP approved) (6 months have elapsed). I want to quit my job and go back to school this August, but want to keep 485 alive (primarily because my 6 years on H1 are up). I can easily get a letter from an employer saying that they will employ me once my GC is approved (and I can join them when GC comes through). However, my current employer says that they will withdraw 140 (routine procedure).
Questions:
1. Can I study on EAD/parolee status?
2. Do I need to inform USCIS of invoking AC21 since my employer will withdraw my 140?
3. Can I claim that I am waiting for my GC to be approved to join my future employer, and in the mean time, I am studying full time to improve my skills?
4. Should I try to maintain my H1 status during school (by working part time etc.)?
5. Does my future employer need to file an I140?
6. What should I ask my current employer to provide? Eg: copy of 140, Employment verification letter etc.
Please provide your insights. There might have been previous discussions on this topic. If so, please point me to them and my apologies in advance for re-posting.
Will appreciate any suggestions / comments. I am stuck with the dilemma of continuing to work or going back to school.
Thanks,

All options are possible, depends on your personal preference. There is NO good answer.
If your spouse is in H1B and have a stable income, I would suggest the H4 path.
Hi..
i am currently on my 8th year h1..and on the bench..hoping some projects will come thru in a week or so.
Currently i have been on LOP for almost 5 weeks now..
what do you think would be a good option for me:
a.) Start the process for H4..and find a new job..and transfer H1 and stay till H1 is valid till may 2010..
b.) Be on bench for few more weeks.. and hope someting will work out...(firm has said they wont cancel my h1/140).. they are just being helpful..but?
c.) R2I ASAP...and try for a consular processing....?
d.) go to H4...and R2I in May...then if the Eb2(Dec 2005) dates are current..try for a CP..its a long shot...
i am confused..any suggestions??

I've had my D100 for about 3 years. I noticed that the frame buffer was getting lower and lower - and I thought it was just that my memory card was getting old... but I just bought a new one and that was not the problem.
I used to get 6 or 7 images in the buffer, and now it's just 2.
Is there a fix for this or does it need to be repaired?
Thanks!

Hi
My PD is Dec 2004 EB2 for a future jon offer. I won't be able to start the job until July 2008 as I am still completing my fellowship. I have read somewhere in the past that I can file I485 for this future job as the dates have now become current. Can anyone confirm this and any idea what is the general recommendation for the duration that I have to stay with this employer once I start the job.
Minimum 6 month is considered a safe period.

I didnt mean to burst your bubble...but may be its just that you are getting another finger printing notice. Its expires in 15 months. If you read the other forums July 07 filers have started getting their next set of FP notices. I wouldnt get too carried away.
That definitely sounds like a reasonable explaination .... !!!

FYI...Anybody who has an appointment for a Visa stamping on Oct 1st at the U.S Consulate in Chennai, India, please contact the VFS office (91-44-4231-6767) to find out your new date of appointment (which the Consulate says, will be in the same week), if they have not intimated you by email already.
http://chennai.usconsulate.gov/
The Consulate will be closed on 10/1/07 due a stupid strike by the State Government.:mad:
Is it only on Oct 1st or the entire week? My in laws are going for visa interview on October 5th

Are you married to a USC? If so, you have nothing to worry about. Do not travel until your GC is approved as AP is not 100% safe for people that overstayed.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was reading that getting approved I129 means you are cap exempt for next 6 years. As the petition for visa was filed in 2007, so according to this cap exemption should be for next 6 years i.e. 2013. Would be really nice if you can clarify this.

Hi All,
I had a question regarding the relationship between the number h1b transfers and green card process. I've heard some people say that if you have transferred H1b to many companies then the green card process will be delayed because USCIS needs to be convinced that you will be continuing with the same employer. Is this true or does it really not matter how many times you change employers it doesn't effect the green card process.
I have already transferred once. I am thinking of transferring one or possible two more times but am just worried about how this will effect the green card application process.
Thanks,
Purushotham Nayak

Hello Gurus,
I have got my wife passport stamped(H4) until Oct'09 based on my previous H1. I have changed company and got new I-797 for both of us valid till Apr'2010. During her recent visit to India and return to USA, at the port of entry she was issued I-94 till Oct'2009 eventhough her I-797 form my new employer is valid till Feb'2010.
I don't want to ask my wife to cross the broder (@Mexico or @Canada) for the sake of renewing her I-94. I am wondering if I can apply with USCIS for her extension of I-94 till April'2010 for which she has I-797 to support it.
Thanks
All you have to do is apply for H4 extension.

Hi Guys,
I had recently changed jobs and my new employers attorney were going to file AC21. But my company was acquired by another large corporation and the attorneys have changed. The merger company's attorneys are Pappas and Lenzo. Does anyone have experience with this firm , in terms of h1 filing, I-140/I-485 related cases and other GC stuff like AC21, etc.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
