Depending on where you were located in the US, it might be a good idea to enter the country coming from a neighboring country (Canada, Mexico) with your green card in hand.
In any case dont travel with too many luggages ...
Let us know how it went.
Good luck !

Are you sure about that? Can you give your source that says
"You have to inform them of every small move even after citizenship is approved".
If you can support your post by citing a valid source then its fine, otherwise stop shooting off your hips please.
yes, u need to inform them of every small move u make, all ur life. this holds true even after ur us citizenship is approved.

Well, as a matter of fact "employer is employer" - there is nothing called good or bad. Any employer can be bad during crunch times. Times have changed now and there is more scrutiny over consulting companies these days because they have lot of immigrants on payroll. Look for urself, your family, ur need etcc.. before changing jobs, be it consulting or fulltime. Sometimes FT jobs can be worse as you never know what kinda shit u may get into.

How is the market? I want to share my history and see if the situation is the same in other places.
I work in a small financial company in NJ since 2003 in IT. They are sponsoring my gc now. It's a growing company.
At that time it was my boss, me (programmer) and an american girl (crystal reports). She left and we replace with an indian guy green card holder. Later he left and we hire 2 crystal reports developers, an indian and a russian both green card holders. Later we decided to hire another developer. Join us a hong kong born citizen. I think he is naturalized now. Anyway. Later we hired another programmer, come an indian gc holder. She left and we hired another indian programmer (i think she's in h1)
Today we are trying to hire another programmer and so far, 1 month, no one show up.
I don't know if this situation is happening in other places, but from our experience since 2003.
- there are not many americans interested in IT ?!?
- the unemployment is not affecting IT so much ?!? No one is showing up to fulfill our position now and in the previous years.
- due to visa backlogs and restrictions, it's impratical to sponsor h1 or gc.
My opinion, this a good example that immigration not so bad for US. With good immigration we would had filed our position and not took an american job.
Again, anyone seeing the same in other places...

Hi,
I am in a different predicament. 1st H term finishes 30-sep-2007. Company A sponsored my H and i have been with them ever since. They sponsored GC. I-140 approved, 485 filed on july 2nd, recd EAD card, AP approved, FP done.
Company A is losing business and is not in a position to pay for H renewal. I have offer from Company B and they are doing H transfer.
Question
1. Can i switch to EAD with Company A and keep H with Company B untill Jan 2, 2008 when i am safe to use AC 21.
2. Do i have to make sure that company A renews my H. In a dire circumstance i can buy my H renewal.
Any help is greatly appreciated as am 2 weeks away from expiring H.
Thanks
1. As far as I know, think this will work.
2. Not required.

Hello,
Last November I quit my job in the US and left the country as well. Two days ago, I received an email saying my 485 is approved, and card production was ordered. The card will go to an address in the US where someone can forward me the mail.
What should I do? Try to enter the U.S. with the card? What to say to POE officials? WIll I be questioned?
Thanks.
If you have AP you will be able to enter into the country without any issues / questions.

Hey,
Thanks for the response.
One quick clarification:
a) COS from H4 to H1 B status, does'nt need me to go through the quota/lottery system etc. Am I right?, because I did hear this from some folks that I would *not* have to go through the quota since I originally had a H1 B visa with validity date. ?
b) In case of my finding an opening with new employer & shifting COS back to H1 from H4, what time frame would it take?
c) further addition to point b) what kinds of documents would I need to submit to INS for COS back to H1? any idea?
Again thanks guys! Have a great day...
Shivani :)
a) Your H1 will be exempt from quota.
b) Since you were on H1 status before, you can start working immediately after getting receipt for COS from H4 to H1.
c) Same as any H1 petition. Also, since this is COS, you must be in valid H4 status when COS to H1 is filed.

There is one option which you can try. Take a online appointment at one of the consulates in Mexico. It costs $8 or so. They ask to send the 797 by fax before the appointment date. Presumably they ask for the 797 to do a PIMS verification. I do not know if that helps in confirming PIMS but for $8 , it is worth taking this additional step.

Did you see approved on Jun 25th? In my case, I saw approved on Jun 28th and then pending on Jun 29th. My attorney received approval notice on Jun 28th. I dont know how to make sense of it.
What was the message in your case on Jun 26th? I am seeing that they received my application on Jun 29th and it is pending. It sounds strange.
Online case status shows approval on jUne 27th. But then does it really matter with all this talk of July retrogression?

That's right. I have done just that. Since you are filing a fresh PERM and I-140, it can be a different employer, entirely different job, title, salary. etc. You are only porting the date from the other I-140, nothing else.
Does this mean I can port the PD even if I moving from a technical position to a managerial position in a different company. of course I know one has to file a new perm and I140 with the new company.

Hi Amulchandra,
I am on the same boat with you. I am on H4 and is continuously exploring all possibilities that would enable me to work. I wonder how volunteering for work in one's field would be illegal. You will not be paid hence there will not be papertrails, taxes or any documents that can be traced to you working (illegally?). Besides, how will they know it, if there's no additional income in your bank accounts coming from your wages or salary? Isn't it? If the illegals could work in the shadows w/o getting penalized, hell, they even would have a chance to get a blue card in the future enabling their spouses to work. There's a very little chance that the USCIS or ICE would penalize you. Don't know even if they would bother give time to it.
Even if they would bother, you are highly educated, could hire a lawyer and easily explain it to court. Your current immigration lawyer is just too paranoid and is unreasonable.
Go for it man!

Not sure if i cant use the EAD. My lawyer said if USCIS hasnt revoked the EAD it is safe to use it. Currently though I am on H1B which is valid for one more month.
It doesnt make sense to me that i have to pay for USCIS mistake. Would contacting senator/congressman will help?

We have a wealth of information from A to Z on US Immigration, why dont we ourselves write articles and editorials and get them published in the News Papers, Journals, etc?
Why are we waiting for some one to come to us and take information to write articles on us. Does Newspapers check the background of authors to verify if they are citizens/non-citizens/green card holders/ H1B's. What all matters to them is quality and authenticity of the articles.
Do you folks think this a good option to pursue?
Lets put it to work.

for the case mentioned in this thread, will the priority date be the date of filing of Labor cert or the 140 approval date after the candidate moves to a new employer after 140 approval? could someone please clarify this for me. will greatly appreciate it.
PD is always LC filing date. He will still be able to use the old employer filed LC date as PD even if the employer cancels LC/I140. There might be a little risk if the old one he got was a sunstitued one.
