Inshkrish,
You mentioned only you got welcome email not your dependents...I am confused...for me I received the approval email but no status change for my wife even on the telephone check , she opened a SR on Friday...
Were your dependents approved when you checked on telephone or how did you come to know that their cases got approved (by postal mail or phone?)....my lawyer also mentioned my name only ofcourse he received the same CRIS mail that I received....
I am not sure how to check...if online is not reliable...
Regards,
SoP

- Based on personal experience and not a professional advice
- I am assuming your PD is not current yet
I have lots of friends who have applied their H1-B extension, even though their 140, EAD, FP, AP all are approved and 485 applied. Even in my case (I have everything listed above except 140), my lawyer was actually waiting for 140 to get approved so that I can get a 3 year extension, but then applied extension as 140 is taking too long. You may want to talk to another lawyer.
If what your lawyer says is true, then almost all ~300K July filers will be without H1-Bs after some time. ;) ;) ;)

I have filed 485/EAD/AP in Aug'07 and changed the address online using AR11 followed by the petitions for 485/EAD/AP for my self and the dependant.
Got confirmation in mail for all the pending petitions after 2 weeks. I have NOT called the USCIS office for the address change.
Hope this helps !!

It is a new EAD and not an extension of your old EAD. You can go online and e-file and there is no need for a lawyer. As you have all your GC details including your Alien #, it is very straight forward.
Are you sure we can e-file ? How will we provide supporting documents like, copy of pending I-485, old EAD approval etc ? Is it safe to assume that USCIS will find out all those information by just Alien # ?
As far as I remember on the EAD filing instructions, they mention that employment based EADs are not eligible for e-filing. Or are they referring to H1Bs etc ?
Also, what if we don't get the new EAD before the current one expires ? Has anybody asked their lawyers ?

her I-485 was filed befoer Oct 1st and she plans to use EAD. She need not have worked a single day or earned a single paycheck. She can enter using AP or H4.
Withdrawing H1 is a good gesture thats all.

The whole retrogression is very depressing if you were to look at numbers and predictions based on the numbers. This is the reaosn we need to work harder and contribute our time and money for this effort. If we cannot do it this year, then we can easily forget getting a greencard for the next 2 years and more. There will be no immigration bill next year due to presidential election.
This is all the more reason for us to go all out and get the immigration bill passed this year itself. We need all members to help in this effort. We have a strong membership of around 8500 members we can count on for support. However it is sad that only 154 members have thus far contributed in the past 1 week despite all the effort to raise funds. IV is prepared to go all out and get the work done, the question is ARE YOU?

I got an RFE about my company's latest Tax statement for the current year. When my attorney sent one, I got I140 approved immediately.
What I heard from my friends nowadays, usually it's company's ability to pay. If the company does not show sufficient income even to pay the employees, then there could be an issue. But just wait for the notice. I think your attorney gets the notice
same thing happened to me.

I am not sure, if this is true. I knew couple of people got H1 approved and never start working. They remained only in status H4.
So check with attorney.
This is not true. We are a case study for this scenario. We were not able file to our I-485 because my wife was out-of-status by not working on H1B. Our attorney advised to go out of the country and come back on H4 so we can file our I-485. If you have received H1-B approval with I-94 attached to it, it means your COS was requested by the employer and your new status is H1B and not H4. Even if you have unexpired H4 visa stamp in your passport it becomes invalid. You will get a new visa when you go for stamping.

Well...so now they have added addln staff to handle the annual load (1 - 1.3 mil) EAD/AP requests....
Not yet. It is still planning to hire those 1500. So soon USCIS will come up with argument regarding "Administrative burden" to hire those 1500 and set up training centers and it will take almost 2 years. Again we will hear the reason for further slow down due to this un anticipated work load. After 2 years USCIS will realize the "heavy financial burden" which will also be un anticipated and hence USCIS will come up with fee increase... Cycle will go on and on...

Hi,
Few months ago while googling about GC related stuff I came across a link, which, after going through few subsequent links, lead me to a link on the dol website from where I downloaded these databases. They are very huge (> 30 MB) so if you tell me (PM) you employer name and PD then I can look through the database and let you know the job title and code.
Thanks

This is true for most full time positions. I used to work for Wachovia and after merger with Wells Fargo they even withdrew approved I-140s, refused to file responses for perm audits and off course start new GC process. I left after working from them for 5 years. Idea is not to scare you, but just be careful. As someone adviced above, give you best shot in interviews and once you have an offer ask them to confirm in writing that they will process GC in EB2 immediately on joining. Dont join if they dont give you firm assurance. And once you join, start working on this process immediately.
Can't agree more. That is the issue with large companies. If you have a very, very unique skill set and your Manager is very strong that helps. Even that is out of the window in case of acquisition's/bankruptcies (don't see both happening to Oracle though). They even withdraw H1, if you have filed one after layoff.
