Has anyone claimed unemployment benefits in EAD in TX state after being laid off? Can you please tell whats the procedure. I do not want to get into the debate of whether UB can be claimed while in AOS state? I just need to know the procedure. Thanks.
Yes, one of my colleagues in Dallas applied as he was unemployed for more than 8 months before he landed another job. However, the reason he applied is he was ok with having to go back to his home country incase of any complications. He is still is US and is happily employed.....This doesn't mean someone wont run into trouble by applying for benefits while in AOS.....Just sharing what I know....

Just write to your state DOL and they will take care after that. You might have to provide some proof for them to start investigation. Make sure you have a plan B with regards to work and status if things go south.

Hi,
We have applied for AP on Oct 1st and its still pending .
I have the following questions.
1) Can we enter using the AP thats gets approved when we are outside the US
2) How to expedite AP process other then business emergency as my wife is not working
3) can she enter using H4 even though she has used AP and EAD before. is there any problem to GC
4) I am going to India in Dec , assuming I get the AP by then is it ok for her to enter using h4 and myself AP.
Thanks in Advance for your suggestions
1) No.
2) Other then an Emergency you can't expedite.
3) If you are currently on H1, then she can enter on H4.
4) Same answer as above. You can enter on AP, and if you continue to maintain H1 status, then she can enter on H4.

Requesting folks to share their experiences with me.
Is there any benifit for a H1-B contractor in doing a part-time MBA in General Management ? I am working in I.T software field with 5 years of experience.
I am sure some of the folks may have done this or atleast given it a though.
Any information or your opinion will be highly appreciated.

I have just thought of something (don't know that anyone discussed this in our forum), what if USCIS do not reject the cases filed for July and keep the packages back for few months or years, just saying...
a) Need to record each application that they have received
b) Need to make sure that there are no concurrent I-140 filings
c) Need to differentiate the packages received in June and July
d) Etc
e) Etc
What will happen to AILA' Plaintiffs? Can they sue just having FedEx/UPS tracking number and the updated visa bulletin?
What will happen to the folks applied on 1st July? They are not going to have AP and EAD in the future. Few of their visas may need renewal soon. How can the travel outside USA? I know there are lots more problems than this.....
What will happen, if Oct Visa Bulletin is moved to up to 2005 for all the EB categories and the people who have filed in July not received the packages back in the meantime?
Moreover, who knows, USCIS may not send the packages back for several weeks to avoid lawsuit. What will happen to the people who applied on 07/02?

Based on the pdf "Operation of the Numerical Control Process" on the Visa Bulletin home page.
"The cut-off dates are the 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd of a month, since VO groups demand
for numbers under these dates. (Priority dates of the first through seventh of a month are grouped under the 1st, the eighth through the fourteenth under the 8th, etc.)"
comments appreciated.......

And what is the message again? You are leagal and highly skilled? Good for you! Now I am going to go and attend to more urgent matters.
The message should be a call for action and it should be shorter.
Raise EB quotas! Exempt derivatives from quotas!
That would qualify as a message in my mind. It's positive, it's actionable, and it is clear.

max weekly is $415

Sorry to hear that it doesn't work for you. I didn't get any rec #. Excatly the 90th day of my 485 filing, I called USCIS. I wouldn't have called if I had my Rec #. Like said before, one lady picked up and was very cordial and created a Service Req for me. I guess it also could be based on the person with whom you talk. I said " It has been 90 days since I filed my 485 at NSC, I didn't get the Rec # and the checks are not cleared yet also" She asked for the excat date. I told "July 18". She said, "Sorry about the incovenience". She asked for my zip code. Then she said " This is the first time I am using the Service Request System", so bear with me. She asked for my name and date of birth and address and phone. She said "An agent will be assigned to your case within two days to look for your application. The agent will contact you thro phone or you will get a mail". I asked her what can I do if my checks are not cleared. She said "Wait for a week, and then call us". My checks got cleared in two days , but the Rec # are not available on line.

Hey Jaime you seem to be all charged up!!
Great energy, will inspire many!!
Hope we have one more rally soon!
You bet rajsand! We saw the strength of our unity in DC and we learned many things, one of which is we MUST educate people and Congress! It's amazing how little they actually know about us, in spite of HOW MUCH we contribute! That is JUST NOT FAIR!
Another thing we learned is: WE CAN MAKE CHANGES!!! WE CAN AND DO AND WILL SUCCEED!!!
Let's keep going with this!!!! IDEAS????

In this scenario, you can apply for H1 extension with Company B using approved I140 of company A.
So hypothetically:
person has approved 140 from comp-A but moves to comp-B
A revokes the H-visa and 140.
The person can still extend for 3 years, through B using the approved 140 (from A).
This can continue till the day the persons PD becomes current?
It makes sence because once the 140 is approved and 485 is not yet applied for, there is essentially "no application pending" for this person on which they can issue and RFE, right?
However, when he tries to extend using the older (comp-A) 140, cant the CIS issue and RFE for evidence from comp A that they still intend to hire this person in future??

You were on dual status till Sep 30th which is AOS & H1B. From Oct 1st your H1B has expired but you are in country on AOS status. You have a valid EAD that will allow you to work. So no worries as far as status issue goes. I know many folks who have willingly let their H1B expire and moved to EAD.
If you need to move back to H1B it is possible your lawyer needs to file a Nunc Pro Tunc H1 application so that it is backdates to Oct 1st.

I received my card production ordered email today. All thanks God for making all this possible. I came to the US in Jan 1995 on F1 to begin my undergrad, switched to H1 in 1998, had a GC PD of 2002, and now 14 years and a countless visa's later, I was greened today.
I would not have made it through this journey without the expert advice on this forum to all the questions I asked - and just seeing everyone's contributions whether +ve or -ve to remind me that I am not in this thing alone.
For those that are still on the journey - just hang in there and your time surely will come!
Congrats !!! I think u should party hard for a long time...

Thank you both for your replies! We are trying to figure out what to do.
She is travelling with our twins and my father. Seems like there is no way other than for her to do a flying visit or to prepone the trip for everybody.
Thanks,

Bush and the others were sure to have a bill by the end of the year 2006, did you see any bill (beside the Bill wall) ?
No, so don`t worry...nothing will happen.
well they tried it did'nt happen because of Republican controled house, we now have Democratic controled house who favor more towards CIR, I think Bush working with Republican senators to get approval for his bill
atleast this is the only issue where president and democrats come close to agreeing on,
Question, does Democrats puts politics ahead by not giving credit to Bush for resolving immigration is the real issue
I do see more chances this year ofcourse this will be do or die situation for many immigration hopefuls
