How did you manage not to work for ABC if they processed visa for you? Why did ABC apply for your visa in first place if they had no work for you? You seem to have acquired H1B visa first and then you are looking for a job. Is it not a fraud? This is what anti-immigrants target and I don't disagree with them. There has to be a job position first and then there can be a visa associated with it, not the other way round. This is how people abuse the immigration system and then it becomes an easy target by anti-immigrants.

New OPT rule says that you should not be unemployed for more than 90 days on OPT. Since you are on OPT, you are not out of status. You need to find a new job ASAP.
If your H1 was approved, do you have the receipt number? Since its already counted against the cap, and if your employer does not cancel it, then you can technically transfer it to another employer. Talk to your employer about this.
You will need approved petition or receipt number to transfer H1.
As such you do not need H1 due to new rule on OPT, however; you need to check if the H1 was applied for change of status? If it is a change of status application, you need to probably inform USCIS that you will not be changing status to H1.

Hi all,
Need your help and experience in this!
I received an RFE for my EAD and AP a few days ago. This has to do with me not registering myself during the NSEERS Special Registration. They want to know why i did not register for the NSEERS.
I visited an attorney around March 2003 regarding the Special Registration and was adviced that I dont have to register because my last entry to the U.S. was in January 2003. That was when return for school after going back home for my Christmas holiday. I have been an F-1 student since September 1998.
Reading the NSEERS requirement (http://www.ice.gov/doclib/pi/specialregistration/Call_In_Group4.pdf), my interpretation is that i should be exempted since my last entry to the U.S. is AFTER September 30, 2002. Is my interpretation right or wrong?
Please advice.
Thanks!

My suggestion would be to get in touch with your local DMV/auto insurance agent regarding the legal requirements for someone on visitors visa to drive in US.

Chumki, although it is not required by law, there is a risk of not filing a memo. That is why I am saying it's your decision. Are you taking the risk or not?
You don't "have to", right! But are you willing to take the risk?
In your case, there is no problem even if you join the new company BEFORE 180 days as long as your I-140 is not revoked or should there be an RFE for I-140, the original petitioner will respond to it even though you resigned already.
USCIS does not care if you join the new company before or after 180 days. AC21 rule said that the I-485 is pending for more than 180 days. As long as your I-485 is pending for more than 180 days, it doesn't matter if you worked or not for the original petitioner, you can invoke AC21. USCIS will also not look if you're working for the new employer. ALL USCIS need is an employment offer which is similar to the original LC. "Offer" means you have work AFTER getting the GC.

I received a "Card Production Ordered" email from USCIS couple of days back. Waiting for the actual cards.
Did you had to go for an interview or another fingerprinting before you got the welcome email ?

When 140 is revoked USCIS generally send NOID and ask from a offer letter from intended(new) employer. If you can not provide a letter from new employer... they will deny 485.... sorry.
Your EAD is valid, but it is useful only if you have a new job.

Hello,
:) Just a clarification around job requirements:
GC is always for a future position, so there is no need for the employer to keep the position (nor to keep it vacant). The employer needs to confirm that the position will be made available to the individual as soon as GC is issued.
If you get the GC and the position is not available, your GC is not in any jeopardy. Once the employer confirms that the position is no longer available, you are free to choose any other job. If you have already waited 4-5 years for GC, the same/similar job requirement also reduces in significance for post GC issued job.
PS: I know a few friends who waited to get their US citizenship and immediately relocated to India! Human mind is strange!! :)

No offence dude. Take it easy. Thanks for sharing your experience. I guess US embassies in India are way strict than the one's in mexico and canada.
Btw I didn't deserved the red for my last post itsmeabby. Right?

I agree that the DC rally is a critical event but I think I am loosing interest in this online forum. I guess the forum moderators may be busy with organizing the DC event. It's time for a clean up act. I am urging members to stop posting so many unnecessary and irrelevant threads. We all understand the importance of this rally. Peace!
These posts matter - people are not like you or me - a lot of them gave rude answers during the phone campaign

I am planning to move to different residence. My 485 application is currently pending.
Has anyone successfully filed change of address form? and have their EAD or other documents deliever to their new address correctly. Reason I am asking my friend changed his residence while his 485 pending and all his document would still come to my address (his old address). He made numerous request to USCIS and files for AR11 etc. His all documents EAD.. even Green card also came back to my address(His old adress). At least he was lucky that I was still staying over there.
Any thoughts much appreciated.
I have changed twice since I filed my 485 and getting all my documents to the new address.
1. first fill in AR-11
2. then the system will ask if there are any other related pending cases, then you need to specify one after other pending cases. Make sure to take the screen shots for all your confirmations right from AR11. In case you need it.
3. If you call customer service they are not helpful in this regard. But if there is any major problem ( I mean your FP not done or any document which you need to receive have not received yet) then you reach level II customer service IO then they can verify your address.
So far I did not had any problem with two times address change.
But make sure to update your state ID, so that in case you go for infopass, you have updated ID.
Hope this information is helpful. And I did every thing online.
Good luck

u can apply after u get ur H1 papers..

On H1 you can setup business, invest in , take profits ,but you should not be on payroll ( in otherwords you cannot be an employee of your own company based on H1 status ).
What you say is mostly correct. Something needs to be added: You can found a company and it can sponosor you for your H1B (even if it's for a part time job)... and you can work for it... but... it should be a genuine company and it's aim shouldn't be solely to sponsoer you for H1B. Very very severe scrutiny of all docs and all stages expected... making it practically a very very long shot.

That�s what exactly I am trying to find here. Since I am not USC or GC, would they take my complain seriously and I want to remain anonymous. Is it possible?
Yes, They will take you seriously. Just complain to DOL.
