All,
I had posted some queries previously and thanks to all who took time to respond.
As I had said before , I have an admission to study for my MBA outside US for one year. Here is the latest update:
I was thinking I will get a one year leave abscence from my employer ( advt on the website), but apparently they dont support studies as part of the deal.
So i am out of luck;
Considering my situation what do you gurus recommend.
How can I leave US yet maintain my GC process.
My I-140 is approved
Situation:
Spouse in school Full time Studies on I-485 pending. ( entered on F1 then converted to I485..... so going back to F1 is impossible)..
I want her status to be preserved.
My thought:
Resign from my company when I need to leave. Convince them that I will return. Maintain no ties with the company for one year..basically can be compared to being jobless for one year.
and then get a letter that a future similar job will be available with the same Co. ( that sponsored my GC)...
Is this feasible ./practical?

I think the processing time for I-485 at NSC is complete BS. Its hard to believe that they have pre-adjudicated all the employment based applications received in July-Aug'07.

Friends,
I have had my GC for about two and a half months now. I am currently checking out SOA consultant positions with a consultancy in Saudi Arabia. I don't know the length of the contracts yet. Can I work out of USA and still apply for Citizenship after the wait of 4 years and 9 months ? Does this require me to stay a certain amount of time in USA for every year ? What are the tax implications ? Would I have to file taxes on the income that I earned out of USA ? Thank you.
Regards,
theOne

Rahul,
I assume you are planning on working in Canada using visitor visa. This is not legal and if you want to do it anyway, immigration authorities would question your intent of travel every monday to friday, when you have a valid H-1B work permit in USA. I don't think you will get by this.
My cousin had a similar experience he worked in Canada for two months on visitor visa, Immigration authorities were tough on him when he was on his way back to USA, asking him how come he had such a big vacation in a calendar year and also various other tough questions.
My advice is to apply for work permit in Canada through your existing companies branches in Canada and then work in Canada as you have suggested.
Please don't follow my advice blindly, contact your Attorney and look at all the legal ramifications and then decide about your future course of action.

The Conrad 30 J1 waiver program has been extended to September 09.
I believe IV core has been actively pursuing the Conrad 30 Improvement act. Can core please update us regarding the chances of this legislation passing in September 09 ?
Yes that is correct. IV core member Paskal has been leading this initiative from the front. He will provide an update. If you are part of the IV Physicians group, you may find more information from him.

Can my new employer file a H-1B transfer based on my previous I-94 and H-1B approval notice and nonstop paystubs? Can I start to work for my new employer once I get the receipt notice?!
Thanks!

Hi,
My lawyer says i can join company B as soon as USCIS has received my application for H1B transfer(by way of fedex tracking)? is this true or do we have to wait for receipt number/case number?
I need to know this because my company will not file I-485 until i join them but under the current backlog CSC is having a huge backlog with receipting H1B transfer cases.
Please help

The H-1B process for a non-profit is basically the same as for any other employer. The prevailing wage requirements apply.

Thank you for your replies...
My confusion is, as soon as I enter on AP I am on EAD and I don't have approved EAD. Does this mean I can not work untill I get EAD approved? I don't have Visa Stamped and I am not planning for Visa Stamping.
you can still continue on H1B (same employer) as long it is validity..even when you use AP at POE..

Guys,
I just got my approval (Mar 06, TSC), finally! The key issue that I am facing is that I am not in US at the moment and it is very difficult for me to return immediately.
1. Is it okay that I come back after a month or so?
2. Secondly, my AP is expiring later this month though I have H1B stamped till next year. The issue is that earlier this year I had used AP to enter US in spite of the fact that I had a valid H1B. DOES this invalidate my H1B visa? Can I use the H1B visa to enter US after my AP expires???
Is there anything else I can do such as getting the cards fedexed to me and use them to enter US?
Experts pl. advise�
Thanks a lot.

Hello All,
I got my US green card in EB3-I category through consular processing after an interview in Montreal, Canada in 2004.
My PD is 29 March 2002. My family could not accompany me to the interview and hence they did not get their green cards at that time. I wanted to schedule an interview for them since 2008 and the Montreal Consulate informed me that my PD is not current. This is somewhat strange as I have already got my Green card in 2004. I have tried all options but everyone tells me that I have to wait till my PD becomes current. I am not a US citizen yet. The way EB3-I is going it will be easily another year till my PD becomes current. (The PD date has moved by 1 month in the last 6 months)
I will appreciate if anyone has any suggestions for me.
Thank You!

I believe job description is important, not title. As discussed earlier threads, in most Financial companies software programmers have AVP or VP title. That should not matter as long as job responsibilities are same.
