Hi Folks,
It is crunch time! I have 15 days left to get an H1B 3 yr. extension (since PD is current EB3 India, my H1 expires July 30th), so I need to decide whether I should file I-140 in Premium Processing.
How much time has it taken for members to get 140 approved though PP? I value your feedback, or pls. point me to a poll/data elsewhere!
Thanks & Regards!
USCIS is overloaded with work. Since they have to response in 15 days they issue RFE for any reason. So you may try your luck but there are great chances getting RFE with PP.

Thanks for the quick replay,
So it means that if she dose not have the AP with her while she leave US, she can not use it.
Can she go for the visa stamping in India and enter in H4? would there be any problem if she goes to visa stamping and enter in H4 while her AP is in process/approved.
Thanks again for the suggestion.

you dont have to withdraw 485 for dependents as it will automatically expire. In some rare cases USCIS may allow applicants who have stayed out of US beyond AP expiry date to reinstate AOS application but that is at the discretion of the officer. it could be humanitarian grounds.
if you can get 2 yr multiple entry AP, that could probably reduce your renewal frequency.

I would wait it out if I were you. Why the risk at this stage?
Risk/Benefit analysis is not in favour of anything but staying put if you ask me.
What if in the 8-9 months it will take to get to this stage, the EB3 date skips forward, worse yet what if they take a hard stand on conversion cases due to the number they are seeing and you get denied.
It all depends of course on your personal circumstances, but I can't see the logic in it.

Hi, I have a few questions about H-1B and switching to B1/2 status. I was recently laid off, and have an effective termination date of Apr 27. My firm also told me that they typically notify USCIS of this on May 15th. I am currently looking for a new job, but want to also plan in case I don't find one. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read these questions and help me out with them.
1. If I find a new job before May (or May 15th), can I start working the moment the new employer files a petition? Do we have to wait for any notification from USCIS (like a receipt) first? If not, can I work the same date as the postmark date of the filing?
2. In the above case, does my employer still have to file an LCA with DoL? If so, how long does this process take? I guess what I'm trying to wonder is, if I accept an offer and they begin paperwork on Day 1, what day can I actually work?
3. If I do not find a job, when should I file an I-539 to change status to B1/2 (does it matter if B1 or B2?)? I guess what "postmark" date should I do this by? Apr 27? May 15th?
4. After I mail in the change of status, but haven't actually changed yet (I hear this can take 2 months?), and I get a job offer, when can I start working? Do I lose my "instant-work" ability, and have to wait for the H1-B petition to clear? Is this when I want to use Premium Processing and hopefully be ready in 2 weeks? What happens to my pending B1/2 application?
5. If I already received my B1/2 change of status, and now find a job, when can I work? Is this the same as Question 4?
6. I understand that I am no longer subject to the cap, so my employer simply has to file a LCA and a petition for H1-B, in general?
7. In the I-539 form, it asks to mail in my I-94 card (original). Until I get a new one, what status am I in? If I end up leaving the country then, what card do I surrender? It feels weird to not have a I-94 on my passport...
8. The I-539 form seems simple enough to fill out. Any thoughts on whether I need a lawyer for this?
9. Did I forget anything? :confused:
Thanks so much again. I look forward to your helpful replies.

Is it possible to convert or interfile an existing EB based I-485 application to FB based I-485?
I have pending I-485 through an approved I-140 (EB). PD is not current. I recently got married and my spouse is a US Citizen. We are considering pursueing FB application. Reading through the forums I gather that my spouse has to file I-130 and I file for I-485. My question is regarding I-485.
If I have to file for a new I-485, what happens to the existing one? Do I have to get new medical exam? Can I use existing AP, EAD or can I use EAD/AP that I currently have from my EB based application?
If an interfiling is possible, when should this be done - concurrently along with I-130 filing or we have to wait till I-130 is approved? Also what is the procedure for "interfiling"?
Which option is better?
I think you need not file any new 485 based on the approval of I-130. Once the I-130 is approved, you need to notify the USCIS (where your 485 is pending) that your new I-130 will be the underlying approved immigration petition for the pending 485. Perhaps, some lawyers may answer for the exact procedure to do that.

Visa is required when you have to travel outside US and reenter again.You can get as many extensions as possible by the law.visa stamp is not a problem for your next extension.
Thanks! This is good news. We have been working 24/7 and forgot all about this. I got mine but my wife did not travel at all and never needed the visa. I was worried that it might cause problems.

Do we need to follow any process to convert from H1 to EAD? Or just apply for jobs using EAD?
No. No. No. No. Your spouse can do anything with that EAD. Your spouse can do multiple jobs but once your spouse starts using EAD spouse's H-1 gets void.

1. Will not work as you are already out of status due to the denial
2. If the I-94 is valid till 11/9/2009 - Nov 9, 2009, If this I-94 is from the previous employer that already has revoked the H1b, it literally does not have any meaning as you are not maintaining your H1b with that employer or working for them.
3. Not even a possibility as H1b portability requires that you are currently in status.

HI
My wife is US citizen and I am applying GC through her. We need to goto India for her sister's wedding on Aug 9th. How long does it take for AP to be approved? Can we expedite AP for wedding reason or should we do only for medical reason ? We live in California.

Hello All,
My first I-140 (EB3) got denied and is pending in appeals office for more than 1-1/2 years. Since 140 was denied my 485 was also denied.
Later we filed new labor (in 2009) and 140 (EB-2) and got approval after 8 months.
My questions are:
1. Can I file 'motion to reopen' for 485s based on new 140 approval and use the previous priority date (which is 2004)?
2. If not, can I file motion to reopen 485 based on old 140 (which is pending in appeals office) and later if they are open, can we link these 485s with new 140?
Please advise.
