i verified with my lawyer, and they did not got it yet, hence i'm hoping its still with USCIS.
if they returned it, i guess we can still file when ever we get it back, even after aug 17th. as it is returned for wrong reasons

My wife's ead expires 10/02/2010. We applied for renewal/extension in july and requested expedition which was rejected recently. My question is :
Can she take unpaid leave after 10/02/2010 while waiting for EAD approval? If yes, then is there any legal document that can confirm this or an online link (from uscis or any other legal documention) to confirm this that she can use to provide to her HR?
Please advice.
Thanks

You definitely need an attorney's representation. Dont waste time mulling over it as more time you waste, bigger the problem.

Not that this should trump any of the above answers coz there could be context behind these that I don't understand. I had asked these same questions to Prashanthi Reddy, the lawyer who volunteers here at IV.
Can one apply for an EAD while they are out of the country?-NO
Can one travel when AP is pending?-YES AS LONG AS THIS IS AN EMPLOYMENT BASED CASE AND YOU CAN COME BACK TO DO BIOMETRICS WHEN NECESSARY
Can one travel when EAD is pending?-YES

It would be Much easier to know our material and then get an appointment. Say we get an appointment for an earlier date, and we're not ready, it's not going to look very professional. We'll probably have one shot at this, let's do it right.
Look up the resource section. We have a brochure and a powerpoint presentation by Sunil Joshi which was even posted on the ILW website. The CA team of ImmigrationVoice have used these to great results
The lobbying firm might provide us valuable inputs on these but at the same time, these are already in very good shape having gone through many rounds of critique by the core members.
Again, this should not stop you from asking for appointments!

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.

i guess its the overflow from other countries, which brings up a good question, why was EB3 ROW made unavailable earlier and the overflow sent to EB2 I ? Lawsuit anyone :confused:
Only they know how they work. As for EB3 -I, the only certainty is that come October EB3 I will revert back to the July PD (i am EB3-I may 02:mad:).
Yes. Its simple math. But if it was 10K visas a year, then why did they have to jump forward by more than 2 yrs? Nobody knows how USCIS works internally. The math that v have and the one that they have differ a lot and unexpected things (for good or bad) happen all the time.

After 10 years on H-1, last year we applied for my H1 extension and received a 3 year extension, based on I-140 approval. However, I am traveling out of the country and did not want to go to the consulate for a visa stamping especially since I had a tough experience the last time around. Luckily, my company also applied for EAD extension and Advance Parole. I am planning to use the Advance Parole for reentry - therefore, travel is one reason you might prefer to have an Advance Parole (though you might be able receive an Advance Parole without extending your EAD as well - am not sure of that)
Irrespective of whether EAD is used, one should always extend EAD as a backup. ( Especially in this economy)
I definitely agree. Not sure whether an EAD can be obtained in the future, if you do not keep it continuously active by extending it - you will want to look into that.

Dear Viewers
Could anyone please advice me on how to claim the unpaid salary from the previous employers.
I was working for a company based in Michigan run by an Indian. This person did not pay me my last month salary. He does not pick up his phone or respond to my email. I have all the proof that my client has paid him the money for which I worked but he continue to ignore my request. This guy owes me around 5000 dollars.
Any piece of advice would be of great help.
1. Send an email to the employer
2. Send a letter with a proof of delivery and signature stating your case and that you need to be paid and reminding him/her of their legal obligation and give them 7-10 days to comply failing which you will report to DOL.
3. If you have not received your dues, complain to your DOL immediately
I assume that your legal status is not compromised by doing the above and you have a backup for maintaining your legal status in case the employer comes back at you by canceling your H1 etc.
- cheers

Lets start IV wiki then....
and people here who are going through the process can contribute to it first hand.... coupled with moderation from admins.
What say IVians?
I just saw this in latest Murthy bulletin about USCIS using Wikipedia and other internet based sources to gather information. This is serious news.
RFEs or Denials May Not Be Based on Wikipedia Information
The USCIS has been known to use an ever-growing number of publicly available sources, including internet sources such as Wikipedia. AILA members have been receiving denials based on the USCIS's use of information found on Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia to which anyone in the world may contribute information. As such, it should not be considered an objective or completely reliable source of information. SCOPS advised that it has notified the service centers and there should not be additional RFEs or denials based upon Wikipedia.
It should be noted that, as a corollary, applicants and petitioners should not try to use Wikipedia as support for their filings or arguments, since it has been deemed an unreliable source.

I feel that getting the EAD will give us more flexibility to survive in this economic condition as well as eligibility for spouse to work.

Lazycis,
Did you inform USCIS after you invoked AC21? Thanks!
No. Both times it was a large company (one has an agreement with a big law firm to handle immigration-related issues). I asked my current employer's attorney about it and she told me not to worry, they never had issues with AC21 portability (employer has 120,000+ employees). She was right regarding my case.

What happens if I-140 gets revoked?
The market situation isnt that great....What if I am unable to get a job prior to I-140 being revoked?
Will my EAD be valid?

I guess USCIS will use whitepages.com soon for verification of address.
There is a lot of negativity about H1b - immigrants etc... on the internet by hate groups and also there is a tendency that negative news is a influencing factor. This is the cause of concern.

Thank you, FromNaija, again. I appreciate your taking the time to respond in detail.
Also thanks for the nice words. They have a nice ring to them especially since I was expecting an RFE. You made my day with those words even if they dont turn true (those words are the closest I have ever come to a GC). Hope you are right. But I am not getting my hopes too high. :)
Wish you also good luck!
I don't think it happens automatically. You will need to ask to be accorded the earlier priority date or if interfiling you will also initiate the process by asking that USCIS substitutes the previously submitted I-140 with a new approved one. The time to do that is when the PD on the newly approved 140 becomes current.
From your explanation, now that your old PD is current and the 140 for that is approved, you will have to ask that interfiling occur by sending a letter to USCIS with a copy of the new 140.
If you have done this, then the message you got could be that USCIS is ready to review your file by October. A congratulation may be in order here because I believe you will soon get your GC.
