Hi,
I am on H1 visa and my wife is on H4. Our son was born here last summer with multiple complications, a few of them were life threatening as well. He is recovering well from multiple surgeries but still has issues that require constant medical attention. It is possible that I might be laid off soon and while I am searching hard to find a new job, it is possible that I might have to leave the country to avoid being out of status. With my son's current health condition, my preference is to stay here for some more years till he is completely out of the woods. I wanted to get expert advice from lawyers/members of IV as to what my options are? Will writing to my local senator and asking for a visa that will allow me to stay here even if I lose my job, an option? If so what visa would that be? I have another daughter who is on H4 as well. If we have to convert to b1/b2, is it straightforward and once on b1/b2, can I convert to H1 if I get another job? Are there provisions for parents to get green card based on a sick US citizen child?
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

The questions in FAQ are very much similar to what are being asked at this website.
Is it pure co-incidence or is USCIS reading the immigrationvoice questions???:D

Hi All,
I have a question. I am working for a company on a H1-b visa status. And i applied for GC using a different company as future employment and i got my EAD and AP.
What is my stand here? Can i use the EAD and work a completely different company? or do i need to transfer my H1 to the company which did my GC?
Does AC21 apply here? (Because i haven't worked for the company at all who sponsored my GC)
Thanks,
Kris

If the gap between arriving on B2 and converting to H1B was less than 3 months, there could be a problem with "intent" as H1 is considered a dual intent (temporary non-immigrant worker who may have the intention of applying for a permanent immigrant visa i.e., GC) visa while B2 is not. While filling up the B2 application, there is a question which we need to answer NO asking this very question. I assume your wife answered NO during the B2 process. So, with H1 in less than 3 months (if this is the case) or arrival, she has "lied" in her B2 application as per the immigration laws.
I may be wrong.Please consult an attorney if needed.
Where did you bring that number(3 months),is it listed on any USCIS websites?I've read somewhere 2 months,not 3 months...anybody knows?

Hi There,
My 485 application is pending at TSC on EB3 category, country of chargebility is Inida. Yesterday my PERM labor approved on EB2 category and need to apply 140 to recapture my own EB3 PD.
My employer will come under NSC. if the PD recaptured, I will be hardly one month away from my priority date to be current, as per the current visa bulletin dates.
So can you please provide some suggestion to which Service Center will be opt for filing EB2 140 now, in order for getting an optimal process for 140 and eventually 485?
Or does the service center really matters as it will take a very long time for me to get greened?
Thanks,
B+ve.
AFAIK, you are required to file these applications with the NSC. How and why cases get transferred to TSC is not known - mostly speculation.
This isn't legal advice - just based on information I have read up a while back - not sure if anything has changed in the last couple of years...

On EAD you can work multiple jobs, accept payment or stocks or compensation from any employer.
By the way, in H1B you can accept "profit on passive investment".
Alright so it is better then i dont take any equity at all untill i get greencard?
what if i come on EAD ?? does it effect anything or still the same result ??
Thanks Again!!

I am curious of the average networth of H1Bs excluding their parent's money. The money they just made so far. Not sure how to start a new thread. I read somewhere online there are lot of H1Bs who are working for 10 years are almost millionaires. Can they use their accumulated wealth to do an investment based green card.

I agree with all the above.
Also, since you wokred on EAD, you are no longer in H1B status. You will be OK - but it is better to ask the H1B petitioner to withdraw the H1B application to avoid any future complications.

Hi,
I too have the same question. Isnt EAD a non-immigrant status unlike H1B? So, how can one apply for GC on a non-immigrant status? I might be wrong though.
>> Isn't EAD a non-immigrant status unlike H1B?
EAD is not a status. EAD is just Employment Authorization Document. I-485 pending (AoS Pending) is the status.
>> So, how can one apply for GC on a non-immigrant status?
GC can, also, be applied for someone who is not even in US. Kind of status in US has nothing to do with GC process, as long as one is in valid (authorized) status.

You can use the approved I-140 from company A to get a 3 year H-1 for company B assuming your priority date is not current. However, because you have not been working for company A, you are technically not in valid non-immigrant H status and though Company B's H-1 petition should be approved for three years, the extension may not be granted. This means that at some point you would have to leave, get a new H visa and then return.

I am a july 07 filer with EB2 PD Oct 2005. I switched employers in early part of this year. My employer has been very erratic and not paying me salary for past 2 months because his money is not cleared from his client. I have found another contract but my employer wants to wait until his money is cleared before he can pay me and that can take longer than 6 months !!! (if his money is not cleared before)
Under such circumstances I am jeopardising everything. I was wondering if I start working for my own company on a W2 with a same job profile same salary structure will USCIS consider this as something fraudulent or do they allow self employment under AC21 ? After I have my GC I plan to continue working for my own company. In that case what do I need to do from my side to make this happen ? I started my company in August 2008.

WASHINGTON�"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced
today that it has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to
reach the statutory cap for fiscal year (FY) 2011.� USCIS is notifying
the public that yesterday, Jan. 26, 2011, is the final receipt date
for new H-1B specialty occupation petitions requesting an employment
start date in FY2011.
The final receipt date is the date on which USCIS determines that it
has received enough cap-subject petitions to reach the limit of
65,000.� Properly filed cases will be considered received on the date
that USCIS physically receives the petition; not the date that the
petition was postmarked.� USCIS will reject cap-subject petitions for
new H-1B specialty occupation workers seeking an employment start date
in FY2011 that arrive after Jan. 26, 2011.
USCIS will apply a computer-generated random selection process to all
petitions that are subject to the cap and were received on Jan. 26,
2011. USCIS will use this process to select petitions needed to meet
the cap.� USCIS will reject all remaining cap-subject petitions not
randomly selected and will return the accompanying fee.
On Dec. 22, 2010, USCIS had also received more than 20,000 H-1B
petitions filed on behalf of persons exempt from the cap under the
‘advanced degree’ exemption. USCIS will continue to accept and process
petitions that are otherwise exempt from the cap.� Pursuant to the
Immigration and Nationality Act, petitions filed on behalf of current
H-1B workers who have been counted previously against the cap will not
be counted towards the congressionally-mandated FY2011 H-1B cap.
Accordingly, USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions filed
to:
extend the amount of time a current H-1B worker may remain in the U.S.;
change the terms of employment for current H-1B workers;
allow current H-1B workers to change employers; and
allow current H-1B workers to work concurrently in a second H-1B position.
U.S. businesses use the H-1B program to employ foreign workers in
specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise
in specialized fields such as scientists, engineers, or computer
programmers.
