Putting a Face to the U.S. Reverse Brain Drain
Real Life Cases
Pablo
A highly-skilled Architect from Mexico, Pablo moved to the U.S. in 1999 when he got a job offer from a New York architecture firm, seeking skilled architects overseas to fill the shortages that the industry faced. Pablo has a Master of Architecture degree with Honorable Mention from the best university in Latin America. Upon arrival in the U.S., Pablo quickly showed that he was an exemplary employee, working hard, late and on weekends and beating all expectations. His wife, also an architect, also outperformed all expectations. Their employers say they have no better employees.
After nearly 10 frustrating years of waiting and with no Green Card in sight, Pablo has job offers in Canada, Australia, France and his native Mexico, and has decided to pack his bags and leave the U.S. in January of 2008. His employer is very upset because their hands are tied and they cannot retain their best employee.

Why is receipt date different on the I485/EAD.
I am reading some of the posts from other members.
Their receipt data on the EAD is different(at least 1, 2 months delayed) from the date USCIS actually received their application. I thought USCIS is going to honour the actual date when they received the application by mail.
It is obviously more than 2 months late for many of the applications.
If some one to use AC21 portability, what exact date is honoured? the date when USCIS received the application or the receive date printed on the EAD?
Is the date when USCIS received is stored some where?
In my case, I filed my I485 on July27 at TEXAS Service Center, I received a notice on Oct 6 from CALIFORNIA Service Center, Details below :
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Receipt Date : Oct 1, 2007
Notice Date : Oct 2, 2007
Current Status: This case has been sent to another office for processing because it has jurisdiction over the case.
On October 2, 2007, we transferred this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case. We sent you a notice of this transfer. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.....
Now, I am not sure, what exactly is my Received Date. And how it went to California Center? I have confirmation from FEDEX tracking that it is delivered to Texas Center.

Yes, it is possible to process your GC through company B while you are working for company A.
1. You should have "good faith intention" to work for company B permanently once your GC is approved.
2 Company B should have good faith intention to hire you permanently once GC is approved
3. An RFE is likely during I 140 process and also during I 485. Company B should be able to respond to RFEs promptly and favorably. Also they may ask company B to show "ability to pay" for the new position and also the business necessity for the new position. These two RFEs are less likely if you are currently working for GC sponsoring employer at the time of I 140 or 485 adjudication (as that would be a defacto evidence that your position is needed and company can pay!).
Also see my post in the following thread regarding changing employers after GC:

Create your rectangle with the rectangle tool. Make sure you rasterize the layer first (right click on the layer with the rectangle and choose rasterize).
Now hold CTRL and click on the layer with the retangle. This will select the rectangle. Now go to Edit/Stroke.
Mess with the settings in there and voila, you have a black border around your square.

Hi,
I have H1 that is valid till 2011 but when I entered using H1 ( I had EAD and AP also), the visa officer gave i-94 only till Jun 3rd 2009. I did not notice this error at that time. I realized this when my attorney pointed out this while applying for my new AP. The attorney suggested that I should go out of the country and re enter on EAD/AP and start working on EAD. What are my options ?
1) My EAD is valid till 2010
2) My current H1 is valid till 2011
3) My current AP is Valid till August 28 2009
4) My I-94 expired on June 3rd 2009.
5) My H1 visa stamp expired on May 2009
Should I go to Canada or Mexico and re-enter US with EAD/AP before my AP expires to start working on EAD and avoid any "out of status" issues ?
Does Canada Mexico ask for valid VISA and I-94 to get a visitor visa ?
Should I go to India(my home country) and re-enter US before my AP expires to keep my status ?
Appreciate a quick response as my AP is about to expire.

hi smuggymba,
As your H1 extension is in process you can continue working until you get the approval notice. One you get the approval notice u will have the new I-94 with it which you can attach to the current one in passport and later point u can go for visa stamping.
Take the advise of your attorney as well

Hi!
I entered the U.S. on an F1 visa on March 9th 2007, and have continued to study in the U.S. as of now.
I pay "Out-of-state" tuition to California State University, but I would like to know if there was anything I could do to become a legal resident of California to apply for In-state tuition.
It's not that I am trying to get a way out of the system, but in reality I want to become a U.S. resident which is one of my goals, just popping up in here to see if there's anything I can do in the meantime.
I have researched in Texas University, if I apply for a VISA, while it is processing I can pay IN-State tuition
Q. How do I establish residency?
A. One must be an independent (not claimed as a dependent for income tax purposes), US citizen or permanent resident, (have a green card, also known as card I-551 or the evidence of I-551 stamp in the passport) or international student who is eligible to establish a domicile in Texas and live in the state of Texas for 12 consecutive months and establish a domicile in Texas prior to enrollment.

July�07 filer - H1-B renewal after filing I-485 (12th Year)
Can I renew H1-B (12th year) after filed 485. Don�t want to use EAD in order to maintain my wife�s H4.
The AC21 document covers before I-485 filing stage. But not covering after 485 filed and retrogressed situation.
----------------------
(4) Exemptions to Limitations of Stay. The limitation on the total period of stay does not apply to H-1B aliens when, as of the date of filing the extension request:
365 or more days have passed since the filing of any application for labor certification, Forms ETA-750 or ETA-9089, that is required or used by the alien to obtain status as an EB immigrant; and the labor certification, if approved, has not been revoked, is unexpired or has been timely filed with an EB petition within the labor certification�s validity period; or
365 or more days have passed since the filing of an EB immigrant petition that is still pending; or
The alien is the beneficiary of an approved EB immigration petition and is not able to file to adjust status to U.S. permanent legal residence based on the unavailability of an immigrant visa number.
-------------------------------------
I have filed my I-485 during July 2007 as like many others. My PD is March 2004
Got married after the filing and still maintaining my H1 and brought my wife on H4.
I need to renew my H1 as it is getting expired in April. Not able to use EAD as need to maintain my wife�s H4.
This is my 12th year H1 renewal.
6 year 2005
1 year 2006
1 year 2007
3 year 2010
Question - Is H1-B extension rule applicable only for I140 approval/(labor 365 days) or is it allowed even after filing 485? And is it allowed after 11 years for additional 3 years?
Thanks

As far as I know, you can file (or even decide not to file if you have H-1) anytime. This should not be an issue. In fact, one my friend's was in similar boat, he filed his EAD after gap of 3 months and got it approved.
EAD is only a backup for most of us if we are working on H1B. But it is better to have it renewed as you never know when you may have to use it due to layoff, firing or any other unfortunate event. It is more likely to happen due to current state of economy. CIS allows us to continue working on EAD after 180 days of filling 485 under AC21 rule.
However there are some unfortunate incidents going on where IO wrongfully denied 485 petitions when a person changed jobs using AC-21. I urge you to take part in IV AC-21 letters campaign which will help you and all of us to survive any unfortunate, unforseen job loss due to current downturn in economy. It is actully very easy, just print 4 pages and mail it thru' USPS. Won't even cost you $2. Remember this for yours and our future and peace of mind. (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22182) I humbly request you to do so for sake of our community. Thanks!

If I am not wrong, you must be paid by your consultant. So, those missing days should be a working days as per your consultant is concerned. I work on site too. when there is holidays that my consultant doesn't approve, Consultant pay for those missing days. I am not sure how your consultant is going to utilize you for those missing days. Talk to your consultant, they should be able to help you. Good luck

My company had promised that they would start my GC processing once I complete a year which was in March 2009. Since then they have been going back and forth with the lawyers writing the job description to post the job ad.
The lawyer tells us that the department of labour has tightened up the process and so the job description needs to be very generic with minimum number of years of experience(2 for a sr. software engineer) and this has caused a lot of controversy that this will cause an audit and so on and forth.
I am sure there are many other people out there who are applying even now. I do not know if its the lawyer or the company that is causing an issue here.
My only option would be to search for another job who will do my GC. But i dont have so much time left for all that.
What can i do?
