it is nothing but an employer letter in which you need to specify your designation and your continuation of your employment with that company. I sent the same letter for H4 stamping to my spouse.

In 2004, a friend moved within the same Multinational company (A) from one business (A1) to another (A2). The HR department did not apply for an H1 transfer assuming that one was not needed, and the friend worked for a few months before the business A2 was sold off, and the new company realized the mistake, and filed for her H1 transfer, which was approved. The new company then filed for her labor and got her I-140 approved.
Can the friend now file for AOS? Was the period that she worked for A2 'unauthorized'? Does that preclude her from adjusting her status now?
I am guessing that a lot of employers/people might have made similar mistakes through no faults of their own. Whats the solution here?

Thanks for the links.
But I dont see them addressing the specifics of an EAD. Or maybe i didnt check them enuf.
Doesn't the EAD (AOS pending status) entitle you to be in status even after a job loss?

Hello,
You can be a passive partner (investor) in any startup (even without any visa). To be an active partner, you need to be a permanent resident or citizen in US. Here is a link for the details... Forming a Partnership: And Making It ... - Google Books (http://books.google.com/books?id=XjDVw9NAmBYC&pg=PA142&lpg=PA142&dq=active+business+partner+vs+passive+business+par tner&source=bl&ots=-xFm-W-HUu&sig=f9EqzXSaZfiZN9Zm3tYJrmE8lTY&hl=en&ei=Hb2XSsvDEtSDlgeytd2IBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4#v=onepage&q=active%20business%20partner%20vs%20passive%20bus iness%20partner&f=false)
If you want to be an active partner, you may want to conisder registering the company outside US, like UK or Bahamas (or even India, if you have PAN card).

My colleague went to India for 6 months after getting his GC, and has been just chilling out here for more than a year now.
You are a free bird once you have GC, just shouldn't be out of the country for more than 180 days in a year for tax purposes..

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a limit on the # of travels for each AP approval. I received 2 AP documents valid until May 2010. I have already travelled twice. On my first return the immigration officer kept my AP document at POE (NY) but the 2nd time it was stamped & returned (Washington DC was POE) to me. I was wondering if I could use this document for subsequent re-entries or do I have to apply for a new AP.
Thanks,
Rajeev

Hi Gurus,
Please suggest me the best option as i am still undecided.
My employer terminated my employment when I lost my job with the client company during 2nd week of June 2009. Before termination, my employer filed my GC and I have my EB2- 140 approved (PD- Feb 2007) and also My previous H1 extended last year 2008 and they have issued my visa for another 3 yrs (3rd term in H1). Since then I am without job and looking for an opportunity. But to be on safe side I left the country before the 30 days of my termination. I came back to US on H4 visa (so that I will be in-status and my GC won't get affected).
Now i am getting an opportunity for a FT position with a company and now I am undecided what to do? If I took the FT with a new company and then my GC process will start from beginning (applyng labor and then once approved (don't know how long it will take to approve labor in EB2) I can then file for 140 porting my previous approved 140 -eb2 with PD Feb 2007) or Just wait until I find a contract job and go through my previous employer and continue my GC process from where it is left.
Currently the PD for EB2-I is in 2005. So should I wait and go smoothly with my previous employer (but still we don't know how long it will take) or go with the FT.
Please suggest me.
i am badly need your advice.
Regards

Yes, unfortunately that is true. You can not use the experience that you gained with the current sponsoring emplloyer for your permanent residency application.
Hi, guys,
I'm having a little trouble with counting the years of experience for my EB2 petition. My attorney said I can only count the number of years I worked before joining the current sponsoring company!! The situation is, I jointed this company in Jan 2004. But my petition (Labor) appliction only started at the end of 2006. My attorney says that the three years of working experience (04, 05 & 06) can not be counted!
Is he correct on this?
thanks.

Foreign nationals who have stayed in the United States after the expiration of their period of authorized stay or are present in the United States without being admitted or paroled are unlawfully present in the U.S.
If more than 180 days but less than a year of unlawful presence accrues, then the foreign national is inadmissible for three years (three year bar). Foreign nationals who are unlawfully present for one year or more are inadmissible for 10 years (10 year bar). If a foreign national has accrued unlawful presence in the United States, then they are deemed inadmissible and illegible to re-enter the U.S. for either the three year or 10 year bar from the date they leave the U.S.
There is a waiver available for the unlawful presence ground of inadmissibility. Essentially the waiver will waive the three and 10 year bar of inadmissibility. The waiver is only available to foreign nationals with a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR) spouse or parent. Children are not deemed qualifying relatives for the waiver. The first step in the waiver process is for the foreign national to attend an immigrant visa consular interview in their home country. Once the consular officer deems the foreign national is inadmissible and a waiver is available, the foreign national will then file the waiver (form I-601, with the applicable filing fee) and establish there is extreme hardship to the U.S. citizen or LPR spouse or parent if the foreign national were not allowed to return to the United States. The waiver request is discretionary and extreme hardship is only one factor the officer will consider.
Certain individuals do not accrue unlawful presence and are not subject to the three or 10 year bar. For instance, foreign nationals under 18 years of age do not accrue unlawful presence.
For more information on the waiver process, and extreme hardship, please call Kraft & Associates at 214-999-9999.

Mmm.. here is a wrinkle scenario.. though it does not technically belong here...
I was overseas for a year (posted to another branch of the company, in another country, not my country of origin, for a year), just returned to US.
Would I be considered as "in US" all the time? And would I be considered to be "in US" for the time I was posted abroad?
The reason I'm asking is that given the way this is going with this legislation if if goes through, it might be better to be an "illegal" rather than legal. I see Zero talk about people in our situation (legal nomads).
Let us get to the bottom line.. is this legislation strategically really good for us? Is a "sneak" legislation better for us than a blanket amnesty which equates an illegal hedge pruner to a legal high skilled worker and makes no distinction?
Does it make more sense for us to have this legislation scuttled than face the prospect of seeing your friendly neighbourhood illegal plumber get on the gravy train while you wait and wait? (People like me would be waiting anyway even without this legislation)
I would really appreciate a strategic FAQ: What are we really fighting for here.. what are the likely compromises on the way..

Sorry you cannot claim. You have been a resident of GA, so rent/meals/commutation/laundry cannot be claimed as deductions in Tax return. You never had a home in NY/NJ. You will surely be a RED flag for IRS. Dont do wrong things to get some money. State the truth and be satisfied of the tax return you get.
However, you can surely ask your employer to give a part of your salary as expense reimbursement, which is legal.
Trust me, you get more tax return here in US, than in India.

Hello,
My friend has H1 and working for company A. He transferred his H1 and started working for company B (Its been 4 weeks and he has 2 paystubs from company B).
He is sure that company A didn't revoked / cancelled his H1. Now he wants to move to company A (old one). Is this possible?
or does he need to re-transfer his H1 from copnay B to company A?
Please advise.
Thanks
He/She can join old company as long as H1b from the old company is not revoked. There is no need for any H1b transfer as long as old company's H1b is valid. Just go and join them back if they are willing to take him. Lot of people of H1b do this. Hope this helps.

My suggestion. One of my very close friend who is also working for same employer as mine is exactly in same situation as yours.. only diff. she is on H1. Recd. her EAD, FP notice.. but no AP yet. She needs to fly on Nov 10. She got infopass appt. for requesting expedited AP. She was asked to bring along EAD and AOS receipt notices, her travel reservations and any document pertaining to travels.. her passport and Visa papers.. SO this way they could process or request AP on expedited basis. Hope this helps.

You must have I94 showing H1B classification and validity dates to change status to H1. You can travel and re-enter with a H1 visa stamp and obtain h1 status. Please check with the company attorney,
