ndbhatt,
If I read your profile right, you arrived in US in April 2005 flied for LC in July 07. I think that is a different situation than someone working in H1B since 1999 (F1 since 1996). Do you know anyone in H1B since 1999 and without an EAD option? I suppose waiting 14 years is very different than waiting 5 years..
Yes, it is different and its unfortunate in your case. However, there is nothing you can do other than wait for your date to be current in order for you to apply for I-485 and EAD/AP.

From what I can infer from the replies so far:
1. For full time/permanent positions, EAD opens the doors to companies that do not usually sponsor visas. From the salary perspective, a boost might not be possible
2. For contract positions, eliminating the desi layer in between might help increase the rate.
In (2), how do you all intend to do that? A lot of larger clients I've seen have the preferred vendor policy and if the desi company is the preferred vendor, how do you eliminate them?
You eliminate vendors based on what your expectations are as per the rate is concerned. You can not eliminate vendors totally because most of the large corporations go thru vendors , could be desi or otherwise .
Having an EAD opens up more oppurtunities than on H1 , Its up to the individual how one wants to use/benifit from the oppurtunities.

What you received by mail is a courtesy notification that your case is approved, with the space for I-94 is blank. The original H1 Approval notice with I-94 will be sent to the lawyer. You may wait for a week or two.
Hi All
My wife received her H1 document approval notice yesterday, but her approval notice does not contain I 94.
Employer says they will receive I 94 document seperately and they will mail it.
My question is, Is Employer saying TRUTH
Usually I94 is part of H1 Approval notice, ie bottom part, Do USCIS send out both these documents seperately.
If my wife does not get her I 94 what are her Options
your Response is truly appreciated

A lot of lawyers do not charge money for every question you ask if you are their client. You can easily email them and ask questions or post on their intranet. It is part of their service that helps them get more business.
If your employer is their client, then of course the lawyer may not respond to you. Why should he?
My PD is August 2009 , and i seem to loose patience.....I can imagine how those people who have been in this queue from 4-5 years must be feeling........Lets hope for the best :)

If university is not accredited with ABET, USCIS won't accept this masters for EB2?
I believe there are lots of other universties are not accredited with ABET and and who have done their masters from these universities they are getting EB2 approvals?
Thanks,
Matt
.....and none of the accredited universities give you admission to MS unless you have bachelor's degree, and most of the online MS degrees are not from ABET accredited universities, please get all the information about the degree before you pay any FEE:o

Yes they do it. They do random google searches. Our issue is not resolved just because they are given directive not to use wikipedia, because they may use a lot of other resources on the internet.

Good job Pratik. we should grab every opportunity we get to voice our opinion even though this TV interview was mostly on H1B visa cap and increasing the cap. Only 10 seconds or so were given to the lengthy green card process. Increasing H1B quota is not a solution for us. It would infact increase our wait times and backlog of applications. it is in the interest of Hi-tech companies to have the h1b visa quota increased so that they can get more skilled workers. However they know that once they have an H1B worker, they will have that worker for many years due to retrogression. Thus retrogression is not a BIG news story. We need to highlight the greencard quota issue and not confuse it with the H1B quota issue. I feel these are 2 different things. After watching the SJC and Senate proceedings I feel Retrogression and greencard quota issue needs more awareness and education amongst lawmakers so that it is not confused with H1B visa quota.

There are many applicants who are at the 485 stage waiting for years. Some have recieved RFE on their case. The case status says "Case Resumed" once the documents requested are submitted.
It would be nice if we can get a administrative fix to have USCIS update the case status as "Pre-Adjudicated waiting on Visa Availability". This should also trigger them to also issue EAD and AP for longer periods.
Apart from the peace of mind, this would definately help applicants to take some bold steps like buying a house or starting a business and investing, etc. If none of these are in someone's interest, they could atleast get a drivers license that lasts a longer time:)
Yes it is a good idea.

Interesting to know this.. but it could be just the person whom you talked to.. did not mean to play down your enthu.. its just my thought as USCIS/NSC cannot afford to have another round of communication issues over the mess that they have presented us with "effective" communication between DOS/USCIS on June 13th and July 2nd.

Hi,
Our applications (myself and my wife) reached USCIS NSC on July 2nd. On 09/08/2007, we both received EAD's and today (09/10/2007), we received Notice from CSC that our cases are being transferred to NSC as our cases fall under NSC's jurisdiction. My I-140 was approved by NSC in Feb 2007.
Also, our cases were received on July 2nd @ NSC and the RD on Transfer Notice I received today have RD of 08/28/2007.
Anybody in same situation...I am confused here....don't know how cases are being transfered from Center to Center and why RD is not July 2nd.
Comments ???

No wonder NSC claims that it has completed data entry for most of july. My case was mailed to NSC on july 2. I did not receive anything so far. My I140 was approved by CSC though, so my lawyer thinks my case may have been transferred to CSC, but my new I140(acquisition) is at NSC. hopefully i will hear from them soon.

i am not a lawyer and may be mistaken, but i was told that if one's spouse is using EAD, then you must be in EAD status and cannot be in H1 status (since then dependent spouse would be in H4 status and cannot work).
Can anyone confirm this?
