I have an employment-based petition and I'm presently unemployed. From what I understand, the sponsoring employer can hire me when I get my green card. So, when I get my EAD, which is most probably in 3 months, can I use it to work for whomever I wish?

I've seen many job ads asking for US citizens or GC holders only. That implies that EAD and H1B holders cannot apply. And at the same time at the end of the ad, u can see a text that says "xxx is an equal opportunity employer". Though both the statements are contradictory, companies post such ads. Not sure though if companies are allowed to have such policies. If so, why?
Pls refer the link from DOJ posted above. It clearly states that "US citizen and "green-card" (i.e., permanent resident) only policies are generally prohibited, unless required by law, regulation, or government contract"

Please dont use google it is a waste of time - FBI uses its own databases and looks for 'hits' in terms of derogatory information.
Instead lobby for the following:-
1) USCIS should have the authority to ask FBI as to why the namecheck is taking so long and provision to expediate name check if it is has been pending for more than 'x' number of years (probably 2 or 3 i guess).
2) FBI should provide a reason for the delay. Most of the time (80%) the delay is simply because they dont have the time to open your file.
3) Procedure to Pay $500-$1000 to expediate NC (1 week) with a yes or No result. this will all allow FBI to obtain resources to process NCs faster
NC is the next bottle neck that we have to lobby for.
Asking USCIS to expedite the NAME CHECK only after 2 years is UNACCEPTABLE!! NameChecks should have resolution within 3 months. Its a security issue.
It is the USCIS which initiates the NAMECHECK process and it also has expanded the scope of NAMECHECK increasing the backlog. So, we need to go after USCIS and should NOT PAY more in this INEFFICIENT process!

"storage area, exam area, and where your file is"
It is funny. :)
Is this information given to everyone or few?
If it is given to few then why not everyone?
Is this information accurate?
If IOs have this information, then this means they have very detailed information about the application. However posts from members show that it is not the case at all times.
Lack of information is driving everyone in a chaos and people make mass calls frequently to get information. USCIS should be providing all basic information on cases on case status area of the website. This would reduce number of calls to USCIS and reduce such posts where each conversation with an IO generates some information and misinformation on forums. This feeds to rumors and incorrect information circulated on forums. While such information helps generate lot of threads, page views and ad revenue for other websites, As an organization we should be cautioning people about this.
On the donor forum we have posted some tips what you can do get your greencard. There is no need to make calls everyday trying to get status. If your application is outside processing time, you can simply open a service request. There are other options like Ombudsman and local Congressman's office. We have also posted to our members that if if you have tried all options everywhere and you are in a desperate situation, Immigration voice will help its continued donor members.
In my opinion posts such as "storage area, exam area, and where your file is, pre-approved" only drive curiosity and mass calls that will not help processing of your case. We as an educated and mature community should not fall for such information on the forums.
This information is True about Storage area and exam area ..I have similar exp with local USCIS office

It is not just Gantuteli doing this. Almost every other poster on this board seems to be doing the same. Any opinion expressed against the visa fraud perpetrated by these outsourcing cos is met with derision, ridicule and contempt. Of course, the poster is immediately labelled as an anti immigrant or a tunnel rat.
Why do the posters have to resort to ad hominem arguments ? Why dont posters consider the merits/demerits of an argument and then provide civil responses ? In my opinion even if anti immigration activitists, barring the racists, post arguments or views, those views need to be considered on due merits. Many people across a borad spectrum, including current H1B holders, GC and naturalized citizens, believe that these outsourcing cos are abusing the L1 visa and are contributing to the unemployment of high skilled labor. Is it anti immigration to raise our voices against such corrupt practices that impact our standard of living ?
dilipcr,
You (or people like you) are not "fighting" corruption or injustice, you are just serving your interests. Al least have the guts to admit that.
When did you guys start fighting corruption, injustice and fraud ? Maybe you guys were always excited about Mahatma Gandhi or Mother Teresa all your life ! Be straightforward. There are no kindergarten students on this forum. We all know your intentions.
Again we all know outsourcing is going to hurt everyone. That doesn't mean I will try to shut the doors behind me. Many of us were not brought up that way.

I think you meant to say 2800 not 5800. I'm correcting your statement.
So India regular quota for the last six months : 2800/2 = 1400
Since dates have not moved, I am assuming 1400 should also be considered towards porting.
so my conclusion is so far 1200 + 1400 = 2600 porting already took place. (though only 1400 really got GC)
Thanks for the pointing this . Corrected the original post to reflect the same.
(I was thinking of china so 2800 became 5800 :) )

Hello all
I am a silent visitor of this website.
Just my 2 cents... Don't think USA is like India where you can do something forcefully. Why don't you guys understand the real problem of USCIS.
Do you think that by sending flower to USCIS will force them to make EB2/EB3 current for 2005/2006/2007 guys??
Please try to understand their problem.
Also India is the great. Why don't you guys just think that India is your home country where you are born and brought up. Why you people can't just wait and watch?? If nothing happens to the so called GC, then why don't you think to pack up and go back to India???????
My sincere request, please don't do rally, you might be arrested......you never know what they can do..... Don't you think that, it is better to go back to India rather than being embarrassed here in US???
Isn't it a shame on us to go for Rally to get GC?????:D
Just think that you will get it when time comes, otherwise pack up.
Please don't take much tension as life is very short. I am assuring you all, nothing will happen with law suit and flower campaign.Don't irritate USCIS by doing all this please.

Smita, you are propogating an incorrect and baseless thought. First, should we not stand up for what is legally ours; be it GC or any other right. There is no shame is demanding what you deserve. Would you not retaliate if a wrong was done to you or your family. The days of British Raj are gone, dear. Grow up and stand for your right, and don't be ashamed.
Second, all the efforts from this community are making much much noice- as in getting media attention. Even if we don't see immediate benefits, others would. So, think for others and long term
Third, don't be a pessimist. you don't get arrested for peaceful rallies. There is still law and order in US. And, please do not discourge us.
Last, please join the folks in rallies and other efforts.

Don't you have to file Advanced Parole for your husband or can he travel just on EAD?
No one can travel on EAD. EAD is for employment authorization. AP is for travel. You cant mix and match the purpose of them.
If you dont need to travel or if you have a valid H1 stamp for travel, dont file for AP. If you want to travel and if your stamp has expired and dont want to apply for new stamp, then file for AP.
If you want to work for your employer and continue there and if you are sure of your job security, then you dont need EAD, and dont apply for EAD. However its a good idea since EAD is a great option of you are suddenly fired or laid off. EAD makes it easy to search for jobs coz the employer doesnt have to file your H1 and you can join them immediately without any hassles.

So for EB-3 we have 1630 from 01, and 8300 from 02 and 12500 from 03..how long would this take to clear given EB 3 allotment??. every year??.
With horizontal spillover, things don't look good for EB3-I in 2009-2010.
However, 2010-2011 things should be great for EB3-I, as EB2-I & C would be pretty close to current (or) current.

Thanks ..So do you have any idea about how long USCIS takes in this situation to complete the name change?
It's tough to tell. According to processing times on usics.gov, I-90 takes 3.5 months in Nebraska service center. But the form is supposed to be mailed to Phoenix and I could not find any times for the Phoenix office. Since it's a simple correction, I'm hoping a 2-3 week turnaround time but be prepared for a 3+ month wait. If you need to travel, it's better to get an I-551 stamp in your passport so you can travel regardless.
