My I-485 is pending, was filed in July, 07. My PD is June, 04 (EB2 India). I-140 is approved. I have to leave the US for a year to work on an expat assignment beginning last week of December, 07. I have my EAD and AP. Also, I am on a valid H1-B until May, 2008 but will be applying for an extension until May, 2009.
Please let me know your thoughts if it would be ok for me to leave the US for a continuous period of one year while my I-485 is pending? I plan to renter the US on H-1B and not EAD/AP.
Also, does one need to be physically present in the US to renew EAD and AP? My EAD and AP will expire in September, 07 but will I be able to renew them when I am back in Jan,09?
For the period I am gone, do I need to pay any taxes on my foreign-earned income if I am going to a jurisdiction with which India has a favorable tax treaty? If my I-485 is pending but I am not working in the US, I do not need to pay taxes for the income earned abroad if I do not meet the "substantial prsence test" (183 days)?
Any thoughts will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Gurus,
I am in company A on H1B and doing H1B transfer to Company B.
Company B is saying that I can join the same day on which the H1B transfer packet is received by USCIS.
if the docs are delivered on SEP 01 2009 can I join on the same day, or I should join from SEP 02 2009
Get the receipt notice and join them.

Taught of debating if it is worth to live here more ??
Basically I came here to earn some money and to have some good life ( cleaning my bathroom myself -- lol )
The way things are going here in US with Jobs / Economy overall thinking if it is worth to live here and worth to get a US Passport or to keep renewing GC.
I know it all depends on each indivisual perspective and views.. but taught of looking other views on this.

I applied my 485 as a single on July 17th.
I got married and then applied my spouse's on Aug 16th.
Since I am married now, will that cause my application to get rejected as I applied as Single.
I am not sure how would this be handled at USCIS end ?
Any idea ?

Actually, you can file 485 when your PD becomes current, even if the 140 is still pending approval. You need to submit the 140 details alongwith your 484 application.
Is it possible for someone to post a link to the same. I have tried looking and found nothing.
Thanks

Here are a couple of videos from the Milpitas meeting.
It's really important that we all make our best efforts to attend the DC rally. Our life, and those of our children and families, depend on this.
Are you prepared to live for the next 10-15 years on EADs and AP? Ready to renew those every year? Limit your career growth and job prospects? Limit what you can and cannot do? Limit the raises you can get?
There's no reason to be scared to attend the rally. Leading immigration attorney Sheila Murthy supports IV and the DC rally, and encourages all those who are affected to attend.

Hello everybody,
this is my first post on these forums, I've been reading around a fair bit for the past couple of weeks on immigration related websites, and especially IV.
As it has been so far the best source of information for me I want to ask a question that is pretty confusing...
From what I understood, being eligible for EB-2 is one of the best ways to get a GC in a reasonable delay (let's say around a year according to the first post of unitednations on http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3250).
From what I understood that would merely require to have an arrangement with a company willing to help you in the tedious path to a GC instead of owning you with the H1-B.
There is where my question comes about EB-2 elibility as I'm really confused about the value of my french engineering degree in IT (5 years college, Diplome d'Ingenieur) and the possibility to find a position eligible for EB-2 that wouldn't require experience.
So my question consists of two parts :
- Is there any way to officially check that my degree is equivalent to an US Masters Degree ? (Wikipedia says yes, but I couldn't find any authoritative/official source)
- Is there any way that a position in the IT field that would require such a Masters Degree could be eligible for EB-2 even without work experience requirements ?
Thanks again to all IV folks and other who spend time sharing their precious information.

austingc,
Thank you for the advise.
My wife has already gone to the consulate and got her stamping. So she is out of the loop, its only me who needs the stamp.
To put my question in a different way:
Will the consulate cancel/stops/statusquo my wifes H4 visa as the H1B is in "Admin Processing"?
Thanks again.

Appreciate your prompt response Raysaikat. If I get the J1 waiver from Australia, can I file directly under the EB2-NIW without changing to H1B.
After completing my MS (Molecular Biotech) and PhD (Veterinary Science) in Australia, I am currently working on a J1 visa for the last 3 years in US university. My employer cannot sponsor my H1B/ Green card but I can get recommendation letters and I have 6 publications including 3 first authors. Thanks, Palani

My employer is refusing to give me EB3 I-140 copy so I am stuck. Can I not port from EB3 with old employer to EB2 with new employer without copy of EB3 I-140 COPY.. It is a huge firm and they say it's against company policy to give me even a photocopy of the document, please advise.
Also, I am not planning to quit the old firm just file a new EB2 labour with new firm. I do not have copy of old I-140 for EB3, is there anyway I can still port my PD from EB3 to EB2. I do not want my old employer to find out about this. Is this possible ?

Delaware Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The EB-5 Immigrant Investors Program is recently extended to September 30, 2012. The statutory requiments of the EB-5 visa are burdensom. Approximately only about 1,000 people a year have immigrated in this category -- just one-tenth of the visa available.
For the regular program, the enterprise must (1) be one in which the person has invested at least $1 million (or at least $500,000 if investing in a targeted employment area), (2) benefit the U.S. economy and (3) create full-time employment for at least 10 U.S. workers.
A business can be used for employment-creation classification by more than one investor, provide that each investor has invested the required amount and the creation of 10 full-time jobs may be attributable to each investor.
The investor is required to enter the U.S. to engage in a new commercial enterprise, i.e., the investor must maintain more than a purely passive role in the new enterprise, and he or she must either be involved in the day-to-day managerial control of the commercial enterprise or manage it through policy formulation.
USCIS does not require retention of employees until a reasonalbe time after conditional visa is issued. Normally, a comprehensive business plan supporting the need for 10 employees within the next two years is acceptable.
The procedure to apply begins with submitting initial evidence with an I-526 petition. If the I-526 petition is approved, the investor becomes a conditional resident for two years. After the two years, the investor has to file an I-829 to remove the condition. It must be accompanied by evidence that the individual has invested or was in the process of investing the required captial, and the investment has created 10 full-time jobs.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1142140030762969806-6519671685318254492?l=deimmigration.blogspot.com
