What is minimum duration at which one must get paid at I-140 rate after GC? (after which rate can safely be lesser)
Thank you.

If you were a student on F1, and if you just got an OPT (Employment Authorization), you do not have to pay Social Security tax. Once you switch to H1, you have to pay the SS tax.

I am kind of worried with all these.
I presently work for company A whose first 3 years of visa will expire in oct end.
In july sometime I requested company B to file a transfer and they did and it got approved .the date starts from july.However i told company B that i need more time t join them and they agreed to it.
While i was talking to compay A attorney for extension i mentioned to him that i ahve another H1b approved from company B. To which he said ," if that H1b is filed as concurrents then its not a problem. But if its filed as "change in emplyer" then you should have been working for that emplyer from the start of its approval." However company A attorney agreed to jsut file extnesion wihtout mentioning the another approval.
I then asked the i-129 petion frm company B and found that its filed as "change in emplyoer". I asked him about the problmes i might face in extnesion with compnay A visa to which he said.."Don't worry..you don't need to mention about second approval while extneding with company A. You won't have problem gettign extension". it need to be filed as "change in emplyer not concurent.Is this true....???
Also I filed for 485,ead and ap in aug..jsut FYI. But i would like to be on H1b as i am single and don't want to mess up my immigrationhistory..so far its clean. Do you think i could be out of status as i am not working for company B which filed tranfer as change in emplyoer..???
Can anyone give some inputs for me....
thanks in advace guys...

Hi,
My I-140 will be approved shortly in premium processing and I'll be applying for 3yr H1 extension. There is a chance that I may get laid-off soon and I wanted to know if I can change the jobs while my H1 extension petition is pending with USICS. My current H1 will expire in June'07.
Sorry, if I am asking a question that has already been addressed here. I tried to browse the forum but could not find anything.
Thanks,
Natika

I have no US visa stamped in my passport and planning to fly Emirates to India via Dubai. I will use AP for re-entry. Do I need transit visa at Dubai like London and other European Airports? Response from anyone with experience will be appreciated. If already discussed here, guidance to particular forum will help.

I�m working for company A and company B has sponsored my GC as future employee and also did a H1 transfer from A but got a big RFE. Now company C is ready to do H1 transfer. Is it a good idea to do so or would get into problems as GC is in process through B? We did I-140 & I-485 concurrent filing and got our EAD�s approved but I-140 is still in pending status. I heard that using EAD is not a good idea when I-140 is pending.
My Attorney is sending a response to RFE but I�m not sure whether it gets approved or not. What happens if B transfer gets approved and would choose to work with B and not use C at all (if it gets approved)?
In the other way, If C gets approved and choose to work with them as the H1 with A expires pretty soon (got to move out) can I comeback to B with a fresh (another) H1 transfer. Please suggest what is the best to do at this time?

I have a question on the receipt number. If we get the receipt number, does it mean "The application is accepted" (All the supporting documentation and fee are coorect)?
or
Are there any cases where receipt numbers is issued though the supporting documentation / fee is not correct?
If correct fee is not filed, application will be rejected.

Dear All:
I know there are numerous people who are on H4 visa here in the USA and struggling to get out of home and work. All tied up in 4 walls only coz H4 visa holders do not have the authorization to work.
Come on guys, when L2 dependant visa holders can get an EAD and permit to work then why cant H4 dependants get the same privilege ? Is this not a discrimination? Are we not being deprived of the rights that we should be getting? Are we doing justice to our careers? Aren�t 90% of H4 visa holders doctors, engineers, lawyers, MBA�s?? Are we not ruining our careers ? Are we not loosing our self esteem and independence ? are we not highly qualified and skilled to take up challenging jobs in the US ?
We all know what it is with the H1B visa. In such a scenario how can we even expect some professional life for ourselves. But are the law makers aware of this situation of ours ? Laws are amended only when they are put forward and witnessed as a problem and issue of concern. Does the US government know about this ? Does US know that it has immense store house of talent in the form of H4 visa holders ?
It has to change. H4�s should get some kinda reform else we will ruin our careers and life. If you are on the similar line then come forward and join us, in our change!!
Let your voice be heard!! Let H4�s get their independence.
Plz do the foll:
1) Visit the website � www.change.org
2) Type in �Improve the conditions of H4 dependant visa individuals in the US�
3) Register yourself and become a member � Its FREE !!!
4) Invite all your friends, relatives to join in
5) Post your thoughts, take actions, read the on going progress by members.
Together we can. So lets join hands and help ourselves.

You will not jeopardize your I-485 as long as job with company C is in same or similar occupation. Whether USCIS will grant an H-1 3 year extension based on a withdrawn/revoked I-140 is not certain. I outlined the reasons for this uncertainty in my response on the thread entitled "Facing Layoff---6 months left..."

Maybe this belongs under the news/articles topic. But since it's much closely related to the rally, I posted it here. Admins, please move this if required.

From Ron Gotcher:
ImmInfo Newsletter:* The effect of an employer withdrawal of an I-140 (http://imminfo.com/News/Newsletter/2010-07/employer-withdrawal-of-I-140.html)
If an employer withdraws an I-140 after it has been approved, however, the employee is entitled to keep the priority date and use it for any subsequently filed I-140. It doesn't matter that the new I-140 may be for a different job, a different employer, a different location, or even a different preference classification. Once an I-140 is approved, the employee "owns" the priority date forever
