I'm in my 3rd year of my first H1-B which will be expired Sep. 2011.
If I transfer my H1-B now to another company, then do I automatically get another 3 years or do I have to file an extension after my H1-B has been transferred?
if you get transfer, new employer will have new LCA with new dates in it (as applied) and employer will fill I-129 with new dates. So when USCIS replies with I-797A there will be I-94 attached that matches new requested dates. So it will get extended to the end of new contract or 3 years, whichever happens sooner, because USCIS does not grant you presence for more than 3 years at once.

Can someone explain how the lawyer files I-485(Does she e-file? or mail it to USCIS?) and how we know about it? How long does it take to know you have filed it? and how do we know about it?

Your assumption is not right.
Your visa must have a validity date. You can travel out without any problem as long as your travel dates are within that VISA validity date.
No problem if you are not willing to travel..and want to stay in USA. If your H1 is about to expire...then make sure it is extended.

Hi,
Need quick suggestion:
Company A filed for GC. Labor and I-140 was approved. I-485 was filed during July 2007.
I changed employer in June 2009; replied to RFE and filed AC21 in July 2009.
I came to know that my GC sponsring company is going to close the company soon. My current immigration attorney is suggesting that if that happens; and if INS came to know that GC sponsring company is closing down, they will revoke my I-140.
Is it true? I thought after AC21 is invoked; whatever happens to GC sponsring company, it will not impact my GC application in any way.
Please advice.

Your I140 cannot be canceled/revoked unless USCIS detects that it was obtained fraudulently.
Your GC application will not be impacted. Just find another employer and join them with EAD.

can you please let me know when is the USCIS fee increase is scheduled from?
Also, say for I-485 the fee is 1000, does this fee include for spouse also? Or For spouse, the fee is extra $1000 ie the fee is per applicant or per family
I have the same question for EAD/travel docs
The new fees are in effect as of July 30, 2007. See below for the new fee schedule.

Hi ,
Here is my scenario
H4 visa----oct-2007 to sept-2010
Entered US---oct--2008 on h4
Filed for h1---april 2009
H1 approved---aug 2009
Actually i had to start a project dated 12-oct'09 but unfortunately the project got cancelled.From then i have been looking for project but no luck.Currently i am in a dilemma regarding my status and course of action.I am thinking to change my status to H4 again by filing i-539.
The main problem is my employer did not run any payroll for me since oct-st(official kick off date afetr h1 COS approval) i did not have any project and when i ask him about that he says he can state that i will officially join the company in Jan 2010 and he will start running the payroll from jan 2010(irrespective of me getting a project and he says i have to pay half of my taxes from my pocket that the employer would be entitled to pay and he will pay the rest and cut it from my payroll once i get a project).I am totally in a state of confusion and do not want to take any risk anymore regarding my status and from the employer(he is taking advantage of my situation).
My questions are
1. How safe is it to apply COS at this point
2. If in case he starts running my payroll from Jan and still i dont land in a project even after couple of months can i go head and change my status to h4 in march with the 2 paystubs (jan and feb which he is promising to run)
3.in worst case if the payroll is not run by him what would be the best course of action
I would appreciate your response
Thanks

An H-1 would give you more flexibilty to change employers once you are here. However, the earliest that you could begin work here in H-1 status would be Oct. 1st of this year. With an L-1, you could presumably come right away. If an L-1A is possible, that could pave the way for a significantly easier and faster route to a green card.
Also, it is possible that in the not too distant future Congress could pass legislation to allow same sex spouses to confer derivative immigration benefits on each other. Check out the website: www.immigration equality.org

Hi all:
I entered the country on Advance Parole and so now I am on EAD status because of that.
I am on my 8th year of extension. My H1B was valid till 2009 but now it is not because of my EAD. Its been more than a year since I applied for 485 and My I-140 has been approved.
Q.1 Can I join another employer based on a new H1B so as to reinstate my H1B status? I plan to file for AC21 if I change employers.
Q.2 Can I apply for a new H1B with my CURRENT employer based on my current job?
I would really appreciate your input.
Thanks in advance.
Santosh
You can ask on the conference call this Sunday

1)My I 94 expires in 2 months.I don't want to extend H1 and I want to use EAD.So how can I extend my I94 if I start using EAD?
2)I finished 4yrs of stay on H1B. If I don't extend H1B now and start using EAD, if by any reason my 485 denies in future, can I switch back to my H1B and work for the remaining 2yrs on H1B?
Just start using your EAD and if you have an Advance Parole use that next time you enter the country from a trip abroad and you will get a new I-94.
- cheers

One of the biggest gripe, that legal retrogressed immigrants have about the immigration system here, is that the current retrogression locks them up in one position far too long for them to grow in career. Either your company was not advised properly by your attorney or you were not aware of this simple rule that you need to work in the same job category (with as many employers as you wish subject AC21) until about six month passes after you get your green card. Otherwise you could run into trouble at some point.

AFAIK those who filed after July 30, 2007 filed with the new fee, and do not have to pay the fee for the EAD. However you can't e-file, but have to send in your paper application form.

My original L1B visa was from Mar2004 to Mar2009 ( 5 years)
In Aug 2008 I left my L1 sponsor and started working on EAD for different employer( used AC21 portability)
Now my question is can my employer apply for H1B visa for me in April 2010?
Thank in advance for your time.

Like Tom said, EAD is irrelevant to your studying on parolee status. The only thing is you cannot work during the EAD gap.
