The Vermount center seems to be having problems with their online system. I am in same boat as you, I have got the receipt for my H1 Extn but the System doesn't show up the receipt. You cannot rely on the online system or phone system to get your status update since they both share same data and both haven't been updated.

Hi all, I hope someone can provide me with some advice.
I made an awful mistake today. I am in the middle of an H1-B transfer (company just signed application and sent to lawyer for sending to uscis this week) and moving to a different city for this job. I am moving this week and will commute to my old job until my notice gets accepted. My issue:
I had prepared my AR-11 (change of address form) and had it sitting on my desk ready to be mailed once my application was approved (since my application and all documents had my old address from when they started the process). I took the envelope with other mail by mistake today and put it in the mail.
Will this be an issue with the application? I don't know if they'll deny my transfer because of an address discrepancy or something.
Please advise.

ATA conf is a popular event among South Indian (Telugu) immigrants - this year their meeting is in NJ. During this even they seems to have an immigration forum with Attorney Murthy - details are below. If enough IV members are attending - it will be a good idea to have an informal meeting among ourselves. I am also trying to contact organizers to see if they will be OK to announce about IV and our activities - some of us can volunteer to talk to anyone interested to talk more or involve in IV's acitivities.
Announcement from ATA follows:
--------
NRI Committee of American Telugu Association (ATA) is inviting attendees and all Telugu people to take advantage of the Immigration Forum that is expanded to cover over three hours with several practicing attorneys lead by Smt. Sheela Murthy, popular immigration attorney
The Immigration forum will be held on 4th of July in the afternoon from 1:30 PM to 5 PM at the Penn Hilton Hotel, Garden State Ballroom.
The forum is expected to provide guidance to "Immigration questions" related to various professions such as IT/Software, Medical and Family based issues. The forum in addition also focuses on Excessive Delays in Processing. Participants can have many technical and general questions answered first hand from the attorneys with several years of experience in these matters.
Please mark your calendar for July 4th at 1:30 PM and check the schedule from ATA Convention site by going to www.ataworld. org/2008.

Hello Gurus,
I am on a big confusion and dilemma, need your assistance and guidance. Here is my situation.
I am on H1B and recently terminated (July 21st), I am given 2 weeks of reverberation which ends on 4th Aug, and my last pay stub (from 1st -4th aug) comes on Aug 15th.
Now as the market is really bad, I am unable to find anyone to sponsor my H1 transfer. My wife is on F1 and I am willing to change my status from H1 to F2. Now my concerns are:
a) Is my H1B status still valid (after termination) and can I apply for change of Status to F2 now? I have read somewhere, I can apply for change of status to F2 only if I am currently on a valid status.
b) After applying for F2, before my approval of 'Change of status' if I get a job, do i need to apply another change of status application 'F2- H1B'?
c) In case i get a job after 3 months, transfer my status from F2 to H1, will i require pay stubs as one of the documents? But at this point i will not have any pay stubs as I was not working? How will the transfer go? Will there be an issue?
Please let me what are my best options right now...I appreciate all your help...
thanks you!

Hi Everyone,
I am on H1B with Labor approved about 2.8 years ago and I-140 approved for over a year ago.
I am July2007 fiasco filer of Indian origin.....in US for a some 13 years and I am Canadian citizen.
I have almost 2.5 years of H1B still left from my 3 year H1B extension.
I had EAD before but never used it, so my employer has not renewed it.
I am currently working on H1B.
I understand I am not allowed to work in my own business while on H1B, but I can have profit or loss from it......so it doesn't make sense to start a consulting business while on H1B in my opinion (correct me if I m wrong btw).
Starting a Consulting Business on EAD:
Now I want to start a consulting business in the same/similar field of my current job for which my greencard was applied and is still pending.
Please help me with the following:
Q1: Can I start the this consulting business while on EAD? Is LLC the best option?
Q2: Will it be then job portability from my current job to this new job in my company using AC21?
Q3: What conditions do I need to fulfill for working in my own company to keep my greencard alive?
Q4: What evidence do I need to keep handy to show USCIS if asked?
Q5: Am I supposed to inform USCIS when I do this job chnage?
Q6: Are there any minimum revenue requirements or do I have to pay myself same or more salary than my current job?
Q7: What if my business does not take off quickly and I can not pay myself same salary like my current job?
Q8: Can I apply EAD myself or I need my current employer to do so? I have the old expired EAD card that I never used.
Q9: I also don't have my job description from my labor certification. Is there a way for me to get it directly from USCIS?
Please advise. I thank you very much to help me out with this.....I know these are quite a few questions but I really need your help.
Thank you for your time and help.

A# wont start with EAC..
Read above post, It is a number starting with A and looks like A099 XXX XXX usually found on I140. I dont think this number is alloted anytime before an immigrant petition is filed.
MRSR question for you. My sons/wifes I94# is different based on actual I94 (last entry) and H4 approval notices (done after entry). Mine remained same. Dilemma which number should i use in their forms.

You need to find out what type of visa etc etc I don't think she is giving you all the details. You can appeal on anything unless you have broken the law.

If one has already recieved their Green Card and been working with the same employer who sponsered their Green card, for 6 months, can they then leave the employer and take a break for another 6 months?
Is it necessary to be working always if one has recieved an employment based Green Card?

Some 63,000 flights had been canceled in Europe by the end of Sunday, in the four days since the air space of northern Europe was shut down by an enormous ash cloud from an erupting volcano beneath the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland.
Passengers are scrambling to find alternative travel routes. German tourists are being bussed home from Spain, while the Royal Navy is sending military ships to Spain to bring home stranded Brits. Thousand of Europeans are also stuck in the US with no option to leave at this time. Many visitors are worried about the implications of not being able to leave before their current status expires.
Foreign nationals stranded in the U.S. because of the airport closures in Europe due to the Icelandic volcano eruption and who are about to exceed their authorized stay in the U.S. have two avenues for relief. If at an airport and traveling under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), they should contact the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office at the airport. They may also contact the local U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office. Both Department of Homeland Security agencies have provided their staff and offices with guidance on the applicable legal authorities under the VWP in circumstances such as this.
Persons traveling under a visa should contact the nearest USCIS office and follow the instructions below. While these instructions recommend initiating the process 45 days in advance, USCIS is providing reminder guidance on how to handle such cases until normal flights are scheduled between the U.S. and foreign countries affected by the Icelandic volcanic activity.
We keep monitoring the situation and will update our readers as we obtain more news.

First, please update your profile.
Secondly, you don't need a new stamp as your old stamp is still valid but, make sure you carry all the H1 paperwork from your new company.

Hi,
I am currently working on EAD, having invoked AC21 once in the past. My labor was filed in 2005 under EB3 (I was eligible for EB2, but my company filed it under EB3, as per their policy). I filed 485 during July 2007 fiasco and am currently working on EAD.
My job qualifies for EB1 now and few of my peers have got Green Card under EB1. Can I port my filing from EB3 to EB1? Would it be better to do it with current employer or with a new employer? Pl. advice.
Thanks
If you I-140 is approved you can port the priority date of your old I-140 to the new EB-1 I-140. You might not need to go through this trouble if EB-1 is current.

Call them and have it rectified immediately...if you delay changing that category would be difficult....what did u have on old EAD card? Don't delay at all. Send all proofs about your gender. Don't panic!!!...i had same problem for my DL...later i got it corrected within 2 days...i had no problems...
I am a July 07 filer. Recently I sent in EAD renewal application and got it approved within a month. When I saw my EAD card the Sex category on it was F instead of M. Now what are my option. Should I reapply for EAD or continue working on it. I changed my employer last month and am currently working on EAD.
TIA
