These are the reasons
(1) Employers will have ability to pay issues or just do not want to carry paperwork after you leave - cancelling 140 is beneficial for them - they win the goodwill of USCIS
(2) For USCIS - handling AC21 paperwork means assigning an IO and time and resources - without any fee associated - it is easier to send denial and get money through MTR so that the IO can be working on your case as "billable work" and not "free work"
(3) The intent of long duration standards set by USCIS is nto make immigration difficult and not easy, so when one changes job using AC21 - with no process in place - it is easy to mess up things rather than fixing them.
(4) In reality - in a perfect world - there is no need for AC21 regulations - this is just a provision for cases where there are long delays - so I doubt if this process will be officially handled through forms and fees and procedures - USCIS handles this only through memos and IOs have their own way.
Please participate in the AC21 campaign and lets make it a success. We have to stop seeing denials and start seeing atleast RFE or NOID

My case is very straight-forward but some really inefficient guy is making it complicated. I need your experience and inputs. Please do advise.
I came to US on J-1 in 2000. After 3-years on J-1 got 'waiver (i-612)" and then moved on to H1B visa and filed I-485 in july07 (with an approved I-140). I have stayed with the same university medical school (my GC sponsor) since 2000. Last month, I got a simple RFE --asking for a copy of approval notice of 'waiver' . Same was sent within a day and it followed with several LUDs and read rfe response received.....
Last week, got 'Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID)' for myself and same/ditto for my derivative-spouse. It is asking both of us to provide evidence/ IAP-66 and H1B approvals to prove our legal status from 2000 to 2006 (Please, note they asked only until 2006 and not until today). I have IAP-66 and H1B approvals ready to respond to this.
My Question is: Since my spouse/derivative was my dependant and was on J-2 visa, the IAP-66 were all in my name how should we respond to derivative's noid as-far-as IAP-66 approvals are concerned. We know IAPs and waiver are good for dependants and I want to end this back-and-forth with my response to uscis.
Please, advise and let me know of your thoughts....

Hello all, I know at least some of you are anxious about EAD. So am I. Starting this thread to see what's going on with it.
This is NOT receipt tracking. Just want to track who got the final EAD card.
Please include:
Date you filed,
Receipt Date,
Service center,
If EAD received, date which you received
If still waiting, Last Update Date
My/My Wife's case:
Date Filed: June 29, 07
Receipt Date: July 25, 07
Nebraska Service Center (not transferred anywhere, I think)
Still Waining, No updates since receipt, stated LUD (Jul 28)
Thanks a lot

First of all, ethnicity has nothing to do with hard cap.
First of all, you have to understand what hard-cap implies. Hard cap is a new thing proposed in the bill out of judiciary commitee that PREVENTS over-subscribed countries(Usually that's India and China each year) from using the UNUSED visa numbers each year.
EMPHASIS ON UNUSED.
So, given the 10 percent per country(it is 7% today) each country can and would use UPTO 10 percent of available visas first. FIRST. Usually what happens is that India and China use up their numbers and other countries do not use their own quota. So the unused numbers would be then alloted to India and China rather than being unused to diverted to FB categories.
So the removal of hard cap has NOTHING to do with diversity - ethnically or nationality-wise. HARD CAP DOES NOT PROTECT any country.
Today, the soft cap exists, and the numbers are retrogressed only for India and China. REST of the world is current. Hard cap would make things worse for only those countries that have higher demand and WASTE the visa numbers.
Please get your analysis on hard-cap Vs Soft-cap, the visa usage numbers etc. before you emphasize ethnic diversity as the two have NOTHING to do with each other.

I have heard the above from a lawyer. I think there is lot truth in the above statement.
However, in teaching the Univ processes H1B and most faculty pay the USCIS fees. I have written a check to USCIS for my H1B fees. Most faculty also pay their GC dues including lawyer + USCIS fees.
I have also heard that faculty can negotiate for the Deptt to pay the H1B + GC fees.
In my case i paid for the H1B expenses (includig lawyer fees) my self , but my company re-embered the amount once i completed three months. Same with GC, i paid till now, 3500 as lawyer fees. Filling fees extra. But haven't paid any filing fee yet as i am waiting for my PD to be current. And the company is going to give me the money i paid till now back once i complete three years. After which company will pay every thing.

1. Read this pdf. http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/E1eng.pdf This should answer your questions on H-1B
2. Documents are needed to demonstrate that offered job is of specialty occupation and the beneficiary meets job qualification. It also has checks for employer who is offering H-1B job.
3. Pay stubs are needed so as to prove that beneficiary is maintaining valid H-1B status when another H-1B petition is filed.
4. Client Letter is needed so that Employer (petitioner) can demonstrate that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation, or that the petitioner has complied with the terms and conditions of the LCA.
H-1B is not for any job. The job must meet requirements for H-1B. Read the pdf mentioned above.
I am sorry that you feel like sl***, but you do have option of changing the job if you don't like current job and you feel like s****.
Thanks for sharing your "sad" story!

Looks like you got angry.Everybody knows H1 requirements as much as you do.Do you think are the only one who is smart in this world.I don't think so.
You haven't answer me the question"What if your H1 is denied once you started working with out its approval" which I replied in your first post.
Also you have replied me that H1B is not for speculative job.If it is true then what is the need of H1 Change of employer.Can you inform USCIS to remove this option.
When your H1 got approved first time the same USCIS verified your Educational certificates.Why they want to do the same verification again and again?
I advice you to read murthy.com articles which sometimes point out that USCIS document were not clear

If 200 more people contribute, we can open an UK branch of IV to address issues faced by high skilled immigrants (who can't even pay 20 bucks a month) in UK. May be these high skilled immigrants are very low paid since they can't even afford 20 bucks a month for this noble cause.
Please dont be rubbish to others. your suggestion to open another thread which make sense. BUT your contribution request and even talking their affordability to 20 bucks are too much talking.

3. Provide simple letter from employer with an affidavit or something stating that the new job is same / similar as the old job.
Sorry for a long post and thanks for any suggestions.
Simple employment letter with details of job title, salary, and job duties should be enough to demonstrate that new job is in same/similar classification as your labor/I-140. The letter must indicate that job is permanent and full-time.
Do you have employment offer letter? That letter should also list job title, and duties.

Good question - based on what I am reading on this forum, it seems to me like the RFE is requested for people who travel a lot in and out of the country. My wife has traveled a lot of times - I even lost track in the last 5 years - and she did tell me that they did not take her I-94. It would be still attached to the passport and when she enters back - if the travel time was less than 20 days, the officer discarded her new I-94 and asked her to keep the old I-94 - in some cases, he/she would just take it during entry. This happens mostly when she travels to Mexico or South America. The evidence that was being requested is the dates of travel and type of visa used to enter the country with the required documented evidence on the passport (color copy).
In my scenario, most of my stay in US, was limited to the stay period mentioned in my VISA though I-94 was given for longer period. There was one instance when I-94 date was given for a longer period than Visa expiry and I stayed till my i-94 date though visa expired. For this particular stay, when I look at the US Entry and Exit dates it would say as if I overstayed though legally allowed and only way to prove that would be the I-94 copy. I dont have the copy of that I-94...
Just kind of wondering how to handle this particular scenario... Any ideas/suggestions...

We are in exact same scenario, but was thinking that H4 holder has to enter using AP to continue to use EAD after "vacation" . So is it like, Use H4 for travel and EAD to work, instead of , Use AP for travel and EAD to work? This will be of great help to many people who are scared to use AP or not want to face the extra half hour at immigration counters.
Exactly, that's the reason I posted my questions. I am content to know that my questions have answered many concerns of others.

They ask for entire requested period. Send everything you have + my lawyer wrote a letter specifying that this client is where I will be for next 3 yrs. and contract is always extended every 6 months. (This part was not specifically mentioend anywhere.)
We also had 3 other offers from local fortune 500 co. One of them even had open ended contract with no end-date so
that may have helped
If you are working for past 3 yrs. that is a VERY sTRONG case. send all the contracts for past 3 yrs.
They want to make sure it's a genuine high-tech employment.
Zcool,
I applied for my H-1B extension and got an RFE asking for contracts and client letters for the requested period i.e., for the next 3 years.
I see that they asked for client letters from you ... but did they ask for the next 3 years? and if so, did you guys reply the RFE with a client for 3 years?
I have been working at the same client for the last 3 years, through a vendor. Mine is a small consulting company. The client has been extending the contract in 6 month increments and I could get a client letter for the next 6 months only.
Same is the case with the contract.
I could not file for 140/485 in july, 07.. so do not have the EAD safety net.
Please advise.
Thank you.

What if your state does not have a state chapter?
If you wish the entire immigrationvoice community to assist then some sharing of updates will be necessary outside of these.
What he said!
it is ok to contact any of the leaders for the update
you can link with a neighboring chapter, right now this is an action item being coordinated by the chapters so they have the info.

In fairness to the OP, he/she said that "...while TSC filer are getting ead adn AP as SOON AS THEY GET RECEIPT...." (emphasis mine).
He/she didn't mean to say that NOT GETTING any receipt is good as long as you get your EAD.
No Hard Feelings...as some body said earlier Grass Is Green on Other Side..
You can't say "In-Justice" because of diff priority..NSC thought to let every body get receipt first then work on EAD's and AP's. So they are issuing those faster.
TSC is working on both parallel.
Same people they would have been on other side of situation wud have said that It's better to receive the receipt first than EAD.
