I wonder when illegal can demonstrate, why can't we unite and organize some demonstartions to explain our frustrations and demands.
A lot of discussion happened on this topic in the past and the general consensus was that it will boomerang on us. We should not be demonstrating/protesting/demanding.
Welcome to the world of white collar politics.:)

I think its not going to be business as usual for H1b holders...nor the employers that sponsored them. I think something is going to change drastically in the coming months...it would be interesting to see what would happen to to the H1b for this FY when they open to doors to accept the application for new H1Bs..

- The A0XX XXX XXX is the A number or alien number
- Nothing good or bad. It is sometimes there on the 140 approval notice also. It is there on 485/765/131
- No one knows when you will get your GC. Your PD is old so you may get lucky soon...
Thanks for your prompt response.
- still I feel that only because I received just now after 8 years this A#, seems to me that only at this time I'm registered as an immigrant?
That is what alien number means in English ? Sorry.

Are you talking about I485? This document is mandatory - why don't you either ask your lawyer for a copy or call up USCIS and explain the case. I think there is an email address that folks here can share with you.
Another option would be to send your Online status (from USCIS website), either way - I recommend you get your I485 receipt and then scan all your documents and email it to yourself for future use.
My I-486 Receipt Notice was lost in mail. So I don't have the Receipt notice to send.
This is for an EAD Renewal.
Is it ok if I don't send the I-485 Receipt copy ?

Yes. This is what I am thinking. They are going to stay for 6 months anyways, I wanna take advantage of tax deductions if possible. Would getting an I-94 extension for a week going to be a problem? thanks.

I have read many threads that discusses the pros and cons of using EAD over H1 and the common benefit that everyone mentions is that the salary is usually better for a person on an EAD. I spoke to several people who've started using their EAD and realized that even though it opened up opportunities with companies that do not have a policy of sponsoring H1, it DID NOT give them a boost in the salary.
My question is how do people intend to leverage on having an EAD for a higher salary?
Thanks!
EAD gives you more negotiation power. Most companies are willing to negotiate on one or two things while making an offer e.g. salary, bonus, vacation, H1B/GC etc. If you take out H1B/GC out of that mix, chances of negotiating on salary are higher.

Yes but sometimes if your H1B approval take more time then you can take H1B receipt to get few months extension.

I'm currently on h1b, with PERM approved and I-140 filing in progress.
At what stage of the green card process can I write iPhone Apps for the Apple App Store and accept payments for them?
I know I'm allowed to own a company but not take a salary on h1b. So would it be possible to incorporate a company and then let the money accumulate in company accounts until I get to the stage when I can accept payments? Can the company pay for development resources such as equipment and accessories needed for developing the Apps even if I don't take a salary?
i am not lawyer but i think you can sell apps.... infact you can incorporate a company with 100% ownership in the US while living outside US also... the only thing in that situation you would need is to appoint a representative who can take care of handling mails, filing taxes.
If such a thing can be done outside USA and non-US citizens own companies and run business from outside then why not you who is within US ?

Dear President Elect _______
Congratulations sir, on your election to the Presidency of the United States of America. It has truly been inspirational for me to follow your campaign.
As a legal immigrant to this country, my one regret this season is that after nearly 10 yrs in this country, I was unable to participate in this process by actually voting. In fact, I am yet to be the beneficiary of a green card. I am caught up in the quagmire that is our legal immigration system. Yet, I understand fully that this does not represent the spirit of America, so I keep hoping.
I have been waiting patiently for many years and following all the rules set forth. Though there are many pressing issues to be dealt with, I hope that you would make the issue of addressing legal immigration reform and transparency, one of your administration's early priorities. As you are aware this issue is also critically linked to economic competitiveness and global economic leadership. I feel certain that your bi-partisan leadership can accomplish sensible reform quickly.
Respectfully,

I'm from Bangladesh and EB3. As you know the I485 was current in July and i applied along with my EAD and AP. but this month in visa bulletin i found that the date went back to 2002.
My question is: are they going to consider my application current or i stuck in the backlog. my understanding is that the visa bulletin reflects the availibility to send the application....they received my application on July 2nd, 2007.
someone please clarify the matter please.......thanks ahead
your application will be accepted and processed (since you applied when your date was current), but it cant be approved until you are current again. So you can keep getting/renewing EADs/APs, security and background checks will happen etc, but no final approval until EB3-ROW becomes current for your PD.

If there is a change of work location (address), amendment to the existing LCA or new LCA should be filed/certified for the new work location/address. No Exceptions.
I went through this last year as one of my work location moved about 5 miles from one of my previous location. Our company lawyer mentioned that if there is a change of work location address on what was mentioned on your previous certified LCA, amendment to the existing LCA or new LCA should be filed/certified. As the LCA is for specific work location(address) that is entered in detail when LCA is submitted.
