Hi,
I'm considering relocating back to India after getting my EAD since I don't know how long it's going to take to actually get the I-485 approved. My questions are:
1) Is it possible to continue to keep my I-485 application active if I relocate to India and work at the India office of the same company that filed my green card?
yes. Remember again: GC is for future job.
2) Is it possible to continue to keep my I-485 application active if I relocate to India and work for a company other than the one that filed my green card?
yes, provided you stayed with this company for atleast 180 days and have another employer here with whom you are using AC21 (ie. he will provide a future employment letter to USCIS in case you get an RFE.
3) Lets say I move back to India after getting the green card, is it enough to simply enter the US once a year to keep my green card active? Can I apply for citizenship after 5 years of having the green card, even though I haven't resided in the US for those 5 years?
you typically need to visit every 6 months, pay all taxes here and if possible maintain residence here. YOu will also typically apply for a re-entry permit when you leave like this for short-term to India. I believe REPs are granted for upto 2 years at a time. What you are trying here (stay outside the US for long periods after getting GC) is potentially risky for your GC.

May be not before but recently USCIS is doing what they were supposed to do, except the fact that they are really tied up with enormous amount of phone calls from our friends. :)
If that is the case there is nothing to prevent them from taking the receiver off the hook. If they have a call center, people will call. They would be setup to handle a particular call volume. If the call volume goes beyond that then a Q will form and callers will wait longer for service.
I don't think the people answering the calls are necessarily the same people who work on the cases.
The rude behavior is nothing new for these guys. How many times have we heard how the visitor's and non-immi lines at the port-of-entry are treated.

Add you wife , 2 weeks before she comes, IE if she is coming on 16th may add her on 1st may.
pay some extra premium.
wouldn't that be common sense....
You cannot add before she comes here. She can bring some insurence from country of origin.

Hello,
I currently hold H1b visa (cap quota), i have an offer from a non profit organization and they are willing to sponsor for my H1b (non cap as this is from a non profit org). I'd like to know will there be any problem if in future i plan to move to a company that will sponsor h1b (cap). How difficult is to transfer from non cap h1 to cap h1?
I read online that if i plan to move from a non-cap h1 to cap h1 in future i have to apply in April under the general quota and wait until Oct to start work again. though i can work until the petition is pending.
I'd really appreciate any advise...
Thanks
Raj
It's good question and I'm also curious to know the answer from experienced immigration attorneys in this forum.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe your lawyer should jump into the well or go back to school ;)
She is probably already going to school (a paralegal) :)

Hi to all in this morass called Immigration to the USA,
#1 I've got a suggestion : IF there is some way we can get through to someone intelligent (duh !) at the IT department of the USCIS, would that be of some help to check up on what's happening with the cases ?
#2 My lawyer filed an I-140 in June of 2006 with a PERM labor of PD Dec '05. He filed it with a "copy" of the labor and case is still pending. In May he filed some paperwork with the USCIS about my case so that they (USCIS) would request a duplicate of the "original labor" from USDOL. All this sounds very complicated. I would like to know the experience of other people in a similar situation and what needs to be done to expedite this process ? My I-140 has been pending for more than a year .....
Thanks !
I believe USCIS has a confidentiality agreement with their employees and you donot want him to lose his job.

Really speaking I care more for the dates to get current so I can add my wife to my GC application and get her an EAD and AP. After that I won't mind if I have to wait for some more time before I get the actual GC in hand

My first term on H1 expired on June 2002. I revalidated it and the second term also got expired as of June 2004. Since I was in US only for 3 years on that H1, is it possible to revalidate it again now, even I'm not working for company A now?

I'm in the same boat. My original RIR is denied because of screw up by the company and lawyer (they admit it). They are exploring the option of converting from TR to RIR.

I don't think it is not a issue as my friend's father also a retired Navy personel with the INdian Navy had no issues. All he had to so is show that he is a retired personnel and may have to show proof that he is just coming to visit and not to stay back.

The best thing for them to do or what they should have done is after 140 approval, they should accept 485 and process and keep it ready for date to become current. When current , they should mail the GC that month.
I dont understand the reason of why they want to accept when current only ?
because the law says so:
From the Immigration and Nationality Act's Section 245(a):
(a)--Status as Person Admitted for Permanent Residence on Application and Eligibility for Immigrant Status
The status of an alien who was inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States or the status of any other alien having an approved petition for classification under subparagraph (A)(iii), (A)(iv), (B)(ii), or (B)(iii) of section 204(a)(1) or may be adjusted by the Attorney General, in his discretion and under such regulations as he may prescribe, to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence if (1) the alien makes an application for such adjustment, (2) the alien is eligible to receive an immigrant visa and is admissible to the United States for permanent residence, and (3) an immigrant visa is immediately available to him at the time his application is filed.
This was also brought up at the time of the July bulletin reversal and in the past was one of teh things that IV was hoping to get changed through legislation.

This is absolutely wrong.
My observation... based on i140 application
My case was sent to NSC and it remained in NSC, however applications of 5 colleagues of mine got transfered to TSC... and another 3 remained at NSC
There seems to be a pattern on how they transfer cases from NSC to TSC based on last name (this is totally based on a very small specimen)... posting it here to know if it holds any water
Last name starting with A, C, E, G, I, K..... transfered to TSC
Last name starting with B, D, F, H, J, L..... stayed at NSC
any comments? again this is only based on my observation on a very small # of cases
