You have to use only H4. Under the last action taken rule B1/B2 is automatically invalid. Again H4 allows you to have dual intention for filing green card.

I have interview for AOS employment based on June 20th, 2006. The letter simply says get passport and I94. However i am planning to take all documents with me.
Here are my case details:
- Labor was filed in 2001 Nov in MI
- 140 approved in Oct 2003
- 485 filed in Jan 2004
- changed employer in 2004 Nov on EAD
- RFE for employment letter in Mar 2004
- Case transfered to local office (Newark), May 2005
- 3 EAD renewals, 3 AP renewals
- 25 % more salary than old job. Title in old job was programmer/analyst.
- New job when joined was Systems Analyst.
- For RFE response, supplied a good letter with same job description.
- The current JOb is NJ with a well known insurance company.
- Recently i got promoted to Information systems Consultant
Now my Qs are
- What can i expect during the interview?
- Anyone with similar experience, can you share ur experience?
- Change in titles, more salary, labor being from a different state etc are
making me very nervous
- Are there chances that i get rejected/approved same day? if rejected, will be disastrous as i am not H1 anymore?
Most of the time they will just verify some of your application details verbally. The fact that this is an AOS interview should give you positive hope instead of negative feelings. In my experience they will never schedule an appointment if they have queries or doubts about your status, bro.

Also, a rise in interest rate if followed by a subsequent decrease in the LIBOR will increase that chance. Provided the Thai Baht remains stable, and another Earthquake does not strike Taiwan.
:)
The premise is that a recession will lower demand for worldwide numbers which will then flow to retrogressed categories due to the AC21 rule.

I already transferred my H1 on 1st week of March within 1 day and worked on a 3-4 week project ( real Project from a good client) but now we are not been able to nail the next Project and this new company is very accurate about H1 ( they should be also ) - they will cancel my H1 after the last Pay stub.
They are trying their best and i'm trying my best but things not working out on H1B. I definitely have way more fit Jobs on EAD and that's why I posted this in the weekend.
If some real employer can transfer my H1 It will be quota exempt because I've I-140 approval.
Thats a pretty tough spot to be in. You can try finding a H1B sponsor for yourself and transfer? How about looking for a H1B sponsor for your wife? I believe the H1B quota did not fill up this time.

I may have to use it for work from January as I am invoking AC21. I am confused now whether to re-apply or just use it like as it is.
My attorney informed USCIS about the typo error when they received the AOS receipts , but it looks like EAD Card was ordered before USCIS was notified. My Advance Parole has also mis-spelled Lastname. I have USCIS letter confirming typo error attached to my case. Would this be a sufficient proof that my EAD has a different Lastname which is only a typo error?
Gurus please advise.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=190382&postcount=1
My lawyer advised me to take an infopass to correct the name of my dependent on the EAD card. Instead of "e", they placed "a" and he said that I might as well have the name on the FP notice and I-485 corrected.

Thank you for your reply!
My H1B is with the same employer for whom I have been authorized to work. I have never changed employers - have been with the same employer since 2002. My current H1B is valid till May 2011.
Well, hopefully my AOS will be approved.
Can you please tell how long should I wait before contacting USCIS (Infopass) with regards to the status of my case? 30 days? 45 days?
In case this get denied - should I refile or appeal? The IO had told me that I can re-file if it gets denied due to abandonment. Will re-filing create any problems?
Again, thanks a lot for taking time and replying to my earlier question!

Pappu,
Now, is this an indication that the chances are in favorable of a the bills not passing before the new government?
Can you atleast say which way it is going? People awaiting reform can relax for 6 months as well.
I see few volunteers encouraging members to call representatives and also help IV by contributing financially - and they update the forum almost every 5 minutes (thanks to their dedication) - but if the efforts are not going to materialize NOW - should we not relax until the time was appropriate?
Correct me if I was wrong.

Thats not the case. USCIS will revoke employment based AOS since mariage based AOS has higher priority. ...
May I ask, where did you get this (incorrect) info from? Do you know that one can file only I-485 that is linked to I-130 as well as I-140. Read I-485 form.

I am not sure about the voting schedule but the immigration bill will be debated in the Senate during the last two weeks of May.
I read this in USA Today:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has set aside the last two weeks of May for debate on an immigration bill; House Democrats hope to act before the August recess.

My NC is pending. And I am not getting the GC because of that. A lot of people with Jan/Feb/Mar/Apr 2006 are getting theirs and quite handful with 2003/2004 are stuck. What could be the reason for this inconsistency, obviously NC.

This is the danger with a "green card shop" company. They constantly have people joining and leaving them. Not a problem for H-1b but a major problem with GC processing.
Here is an example with company X which has ability pay for up to 50 employees at any point.
X applies 30 I-140s in 2005 [less than 50]
X applies 25 I-140s in 2006, and 20 of the 2005 count have quit. Total employees are less than 50.
X applies 30 I-140s in 2007, and another 20 have quit. Total employees are less than 50.
One would think since they have less than 50 empoyees and ability to pay for 50 employees, they are safe. This will work for H-1b, but not for GCs.
Since GC is for future employment, the company is required to have the ability to pay all 85 employees after they become permanent residents. It does not matter if they have quit the company. The asumption is all 85 will be employed by X on GC approval and so X is expected to be able to pay all of them.
This is what has happened here. When such a problem comes up, then they can (and sometimes do) pull back previously approved 140s too.

Thanks Canadian_Dream and mrcmic!
I just called NSC to put an service request. I was told no receipt #, no service request can be put in.
Further I was told, there was hold all application to be processed till 2days ago, hence they have started receipting again 2 days back. Hard to believe it. I said I am 11thJune filer, but the IO kept saying there was a hold till 2 days ago. According to IO, all applications will be receipted by30thJuly. But she repeatedly suggested to check the bank for encashed checks. She said 'no encashed checks, no receipt #'...
SO if no receipt #, then how do we file at service request ?? Is there a link to file an online service request?? (I couldn't find one)
Anybody else in the same boat?? Please let us know so that we can track each other's progress.
Thanks once again!
