For every IV member that gets their GC, would it be too much to ask them to contribute say at least $100/- ? May be this can become a norm and the starting point for an "IV Alumni" :)
The folks who will be getting their GC's in the next 2 months can show the way - Along with posting the happy news that you got your GC and of course posting your RD and ND and PD and the fact whether you had AC21 or EAD or whatever :), will it be too much to give something back to the community that helped you all the way?
I think this would be a noble gesture in support of this organization that has supported the cause of lots and lots of employment based immigrants.

If so, what are you using? I'm using a Nikon 60mm f/2.8 AF-D micro, the usual reversers, the extension rings, etc. But I think I'm going to be buying myself some more working distance and invest in a 200mm f/4 micro - have you been happier with anything cheaper than this solution on your nikon?
Has anyone tried the Canon screw in diopter adjustment lenses for 77mm filter size Nikon lenses?
This is a 60mm Macro shot...

This is the same 60mm lens but with three extension tubes (pk11, pk12, pk13) stacked to increase magnification of the lens.

1) yes stop working
2) if they send you an RFE for job during the time that you are out of eligibility and you cannot prove an offer of full time employment, your 485 could be denied. But, this is a grey area... some say you just need an offer. others say you need to have a job...
3) if you work without ead, you will be working illegally.
4) by law, you have to show original documents to your employer regarding work authorization. so, you need to have the card in hand... but if you dont and your case hinges on that little technical gap, you may be able to argue in court that you were authorized to work, hence legal, but you have committed an erroneous i-9 submission (is that a crime? i dont know).
even i am in a situation thats a little bit like yours, my ead expires aug 10 and i applied for renewal on june 17th. so i could possibly face a 7 day gap in work authorization (i hope not).
hope this helps.
Hello :
My EAD expires on July 28, 2010. I have sent the application today with request to expedite with employer letter.
If I don't receive my new EAD card by July 28, 2010, then
1) Will/Should I stop working?
2) If I do stop working, what impact will that have on my pending I-485? Am I not OUT-OF-STATUS if I don't have a valid EAD?
3) If I continue to work, what impact will that have on my pending I-485? Am I not OUT-OF-STATUS if I don't have a valid EAD?
4) Can I continue to work/remain IN-STATUS as long as my EAD application shows "Approved" on USCIS website but I don't have the physical card with me?
Any response to these questions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

I think its ok. I am in the same boat. But the applicaiton will be transfered to TSC.
Not sure how long it will take.
Hi All,
My employer filed my I-140 in Texas Service center and I-485/ I-765/ I-131 filed in Nebraska Service center. Is this OK?
When i asked for the reason they are saying they did intentionally. Please clarify.

Lately we have been seeing, USCIS is asking for the proff of continious legal stay and one of the proof's is I-94.
Say, if one has not made copies of the past I-94's, is there a way we get them by writing a letter an agency ?
Thank You.

My relatives, will be visiting from India. I cannot find anywhere what supported documents are required alongwith DS-160 during the time of interview.
Can someone tell me if this old list of supported documents still holds for the new format for visitor visa.

I have a question, I am working with my GC sponsoring employer, filed I485 during July '07. My I-140 approved during 2007. My company has applied for H1B extension (for 3 years based on approved I140) recently. Please note that this 3 year extension will stretch beyond my 6 year (H1B) period.
+ You will receive a 3 year extension only if the PD is retrogessed otherwise it will be upto your end of 6 years period. I assume this is a non-cap H1B extension of stay
After the approval for 3 years, can I transfer the H1B to another employer? Since this extension is based on approved I140, is it legal to transfer that H1B to a different employer? (I have used the terms ‘extension’ and ‘transfer’ just for understanding purpose. I am aware that I will be getting new H1B (non-cap) every time).
++ Your new employer should be non-cap company otherwise H1B transfer is not possible - If they are non-cap then your new employer can file a transfer and (a) request for validity of 3 years from the date of filing of H1B transfer filed as long as you have an approved 140 and it is not revoked by your previous employer and your PD is not current OR (b) request for the validity with the end date of last approved H1B - Most employer(s) will choose option b, to keep it simple
I have EAD and AP but wondering why I can not transfer H1B?
+++ When you have an option to move to a new employer on H1B then why not
Those who said it is not possible pointed that this 3 year extension is employer specific since it is based on approved 1140.
+++++ Not true
Somebody else said I can transfer until my 6 year period but not beyond to that?
++++++ Not true, see "++"
Others said no matter what I can transfer my H1b to any employer.
+++++++ True
I am confused, please help.
++++++++ Dont get confused by the hearsay, check with any attorney - s/he will be of my opinion. If your hear a different opinion from the immigration attorney(s), please update - it will help many
Hope this helps :)

I don't have the stats right in front of me, but it is my impression that except for a few odd years (FY06 comes to mind), EB-1 did not max out its numbers. Using EB-1 for L-1 executives is a relatively new idea.
This is the EB1 the usage for the last 14 years
06 = 36,960
05 = 64.731
04 = 31,291
03 = 14,544
02 = 34,452
01 = 41,801
00 = 27,706
99 = 14,898
98 = 21,408
97 = 21,810
96 = 27,501
95 = 17,339
94 = 21,053
93 = 21,114
The limit was at least 40.040 for each FY. In FY 06 it was 41,170. As you can see the limit has been reached twice in the last 14 years.

interesting. but it still does not answer one question: What happens if you continue working on H1B for primary employer per guidelines of I-129 petition (ie. 40 hours a week) and then use EAD to work part-time for someone else.
Does that 'kill' the H1 petition? MOst lawyers say it does, a couple of them say it does not, since you are fullfilling all your I-129 requirements with your primary employer
This is a gray area, but, my take is, it will void your H1B. See, the logic is this.... EAD is not a status. It's just an employment authorization, just like AP is a travel parole document. You have option of two status:
1. Non-immigrant status (H1B/H4 etc).
2. Pending AOS status.
You can't be in US on both the statuses. So, without being in status 2, you can't invoke EAD, but when you invoke EAD, you are in status 2, so, lose your H1B.
I might be wrong though.
