My friend who is a contractor in the company where I am working, is right now on H1B. He is a very hard worker and cheerful fellow. My employer (among big5 tech companies in US) offered him fulltime position.
His EAD is going to be expired soon, as he is a july 07 filer. He is worried that if he joins my employer at this point, and if he doesn't get his EAD renewed in time, he would be in trouble.
He already sent papers for renew but haven't heard back. After six weeks, his current EAD will expire.
can anyone guide, what are his options? my employer will not file H1B. is there anything like interim EAD?
You can expedite his case as I consider this an emergency. Check this link for more details. http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?p=179864#post179864

I had applied under EB-2 category and my priority date is: 3/3/2006.
My I-485 was filed on 8/2/2007.
My I-485 was approved and I received my Green Card on Aug 15th 2008. Surprisingly and rather unfortunately, there was no action on my wife's I-485. My wife�s case was submitted with my own case on 8/2/07. The TSC at that time reported that �normal� processing time is 7/16/2007. So basically I got mine out of turn or by chance. The TSC protocol permits attorneys to inquire regarding the status of an I-485 beyond normal processing time if the receipt date is more than 30 days beyond the published processing date. So we could not inquire about my wife's application and soon the priority date changed back.
She has an EAD approved until Oct 2010. She is currently employed. I am also employed with my first company and have been with them for 5 yrs now.
My questions are:
1. What happens to my wife's I-485 application, should I choose to leave my job and go back to school ?
2. Will her EAD still be valid if I leave my job ?
2. I am planning to go full-time starting Fall 2010. Will we be able to renew her EAD independent of my work status ?
Thanks a lot for your time and attention,

Why did we all come to USA?
Did any of you knew the Green card problems when you came?
Did you know the problems when you applied for greencard many years ago?
When was the first time you found out there was a ling wait period and so many problems?

thanks for the info .. i think i will schedule a medical appt for dec 10th.
Also my birth certificate(English version too) was send along with I-485 app. So I hope that does now show up.
My only concern is the time they will allow me to respond to the RFE. I hope it is the standard 6 weeks as stated in this faq http://immigrationroad.com/green-card/i-485_adjustment-status.php

If you worked in CA you need to file the same state. You dont have to file the tax for the state where your employer resides.
Not always true, if the employer withholds tax (OP's case) for a certain state, you HAVE to file returns for that state. Even if the withholding was done in error. The only way around this is to get an amended W-2 from the employer without the withholding. I speak from experience.
An easy way to figure this out is as follows
1. You have to file state tax returns in the state of your residence.
2. You have to file state tax returns in state of employment (where your employer is) IF
the employer withheld taxes (for that state) from your paycheck. Technically, they
shouldn't but if they do, for whatever reason, the only way you wouldn't have to file
returns is if they amend the W-2 and give you a new one without the tax withheld.
3. You have to file state tax returns in the state where you perform work on your
employer's behalf (this applies mostly to consulting scenarios where an employee is
deployed on assignments across the country and the only time you don't have to file
taxes in the third situation is when the work performed was for a short period of time
(less than a certain number of months, I am not sure exactly how many, but I think it is
9 or 10 months).
In many cases the state of residence, employment, etc. are all the same, in some cases they are not.
One of the exceptions is states which don't have state income tax, e.g. Texas.
Of course, having to file returns in so many states doesn't mean you pay tax to each state, usually, the total state tax you end up paying is equal to the state with the highest tax rate.
e.g. if you lived in NJ, employer was in NY, and you drove to a client site in PA for all of 2008, you would file returns in NJ and PA, and if the tax rate in NJ was 6% and PA was 6.1%, you would pay 6.1%, the higher of the two. Of course, if your employer accidentally withheld taxes for NY, then you would have to file for NY, and if NY doesn't agree to give you your withheld money back, then the only way to get it back would be to have your employer give you an amended W-2.
That being said, the OP should be okay since he has now filed CA taxes for 2005 and 2006. There will be a small amount of money owed to CA-Dept. of Revenue as penalty, but that should have been calculated during filing, by whoever did the OP's taxes. If the penalty wasn't paid, the OP can expect a 'bill' from CA-DOR asking for that money.
OP, If I were you, I would look into one more thing. If you were on H-1B when you were in CA, did your employer amend the H-1B LCA to state that CA was the work location? Seeing that taxes were withheld for NJ, they might have not amended the LCA. Speak to your employer and see if that could cause any problems or if there is a way to fix that.
Good luck,

There is No formula. It is Lucky or Unlucky.
It is based on Karma. I know people who got GC in 20 days and still waiting for it for 10 years. I am waiting on it for 5 years now. Do not try to come up with formulas. I and my friend with the same pd filed on the same day. His went to TSC and mine to NSC. He already got his GC 2 weeks ago.

I entered US using AP on this Sunday from Chicago.
AP and passport were enough. They did ask for old H1 stamp which was on my older expired passport. So I will add :
carry older passports if any.
I also carried I-485 notice and EAD but was not asked for it.

Thankfully there is a concept called pre-adjudication which makes any retrogression wait run parallel to all the other delays combined like RFE,security/name check etc. So the total wait time is just one of the all the above waits that happens to be the longest. They just do not add up.

First apply for H4 asap. It is simple to file H4 extension. I also forgot to file extension for my wife. I realized after a month and applied. luckily her h4 was approved. my attorney told if we dont get the extension within 180 days she has to leave the country and get stamped. Any way talk to attorney. apply for extension and wait until another 3 months.if you dont get it then leave the country and come back.

Yep, how about a rally in front of Nebraska Service Center ;)
While it brought results to the frustrated person who took this extreme step, the question is, is it the most efficient way to get cases cleared?

Just a thought.... Don't waste your time with dishonest employers. I have wasted 2 years on my previous employer. I would have my PD 2001. My friend wasted 3 years. Now and me and my friend work for different companies, with very good relationship, having no problem interacting with lawyers or having our employers sign any paper CIS might ask. I had victim mentality until I realized that it's a market economy. You sell, your employer buys. If you don't like to deal with him, start looking for another "buyer". Don't rush. Find a good job, transfer your H1, and start everything afresh - I know it's hard, but that's a way to go. Don't be stuck to your employer for 5 years and later cry "my employer didn't want to apply for I-140, didn't give me latter for I-485", "my lawyer didn't respond to RFE, now I'm in trouble", etc. etc. CIS/DOL will give you enough headache even without employer's "assistance".
And, btw, I have waited 9 months for my PERM to be approved. No RFE, no nothing - just 9 freaking months.
I fully agree. Its a market economy. Everything depends on demand and supply, your SKILLS and value to the employer.

No not yet. Attorney says I will get it in October of this year. He also said PERM is going to be no problem .. problem may arise when we apply for EB-2 140.
Yes, the responsibilities are 50% different than my previous job.

They have too few people to do the job. When your app switches to priority processing it gets to another queue. When it is near the end of the 15 days they send an RFE simply because they can't complete it in time. Now they have at least another 15+ days to complete the thing.
