Is there any law that prohibits termination of a worker during her PREGNANCY DISABILITY LEAVE (MATERNITY LEAVE) Or FMLA (Family and Medical Leave) on the basis that the USCIS didn't approve the petition (god forbid)?
Firstly, very sorry for your situation. Seems to be very tricky. I am no lawyer so take my .2 cents with a pinch of salt. I think you are intertwining two separate issues. FMLA may protect you during maternity leave (you need to read the act to see if you qualify) BUT USCIS not approving your petition has nothing to do with your pregnancy neither does your employer. Your employer can terminate you on the basis of non-approval of your H1 not that he is doing because of your pregnancy.

I have these below queries on Green card processing
My Green card processing background
My labor and I140 are approved and have priority date of May 2006 under EB3 category.
The reason for these questions is that I am planning to change the company that I am working with.
Questions.
1. Can I port the priority date (March 2006) when applying for new green card with new employer.
2. If possible to port the priority date can I apply under EB2 category assuming all other criteria satisfy for EB2 category and use the same (May 2006) priority date.

Employment Letter is a part of the initial evidence. There is a memo recently saying that any missing initial evidence will result in denial of application without RFE. Try to cajole your employer and gather as much evidence as you can about being asked for $$$ for helping you file 485

My wife recently returned from India and at port of entry, the officer incorrectly wrote the paroled until date as Jul 12, 2010 instead of Jul 12, 2011. The date is incorrect on both I-94 and AP.
Will this create any issues and how can this be corrected? Her status is AOS pending, she doesn't have a EAD or H-visa
My wife's AP is valid till Oct 12, 2010. I would appreciate any help
Thanks a lot!

My wife did her MBA and used her OPT before marriage. After a gap of OPT period she again went to school and got a MS degree. During her OPT, she did not work at all. Now she is unable to get second OPT for her recent MS degree.
Is there a way out to get second OPT? Can this new law (29 months OPT) if passed, be used to apply for second OPT.
What should be best approach? Please advice.
Thanks
A student can get an OPT once for every level of education. Since your wife already had an OPT at the "master's" level (it does not matter whether she could earn money during that period or not), she can only get another if she goes for a Ph.D. After completing the Ph.D., she will get one more OPT.
I do not know how the new law, if passed, will be "grandfathered", but I doubt if it can be used for your wife's case.

Hi, I am on L1B since Dec'10. My visa is expiring in Apr'11. Due to project requirement, my company has plan for my visa extension. Is there any way to get the GC? If part-time study can help to process my GC faster, I am ready for that too.
Looking forward for your professional guidance.
Thanks & Regards... Daulat
There is no way for you to go faster...there are people waiting 5-10 years ahead of you, and you will have to join at end of the line; Even full time study is not going to help you get the GC faster.
You are here just only for five months, and wants GC faster...welcome to reality.

The third party app simply means, use another software that can do stuff Swift3D was not made for.
So you have in there basically all the major 3D packages like Maya, 3D Studio Max, Lightwave, TrueSpace, Infini-di and so on.. Of course you have to export in formats Swift3D can handle.. but most of these apps have filters for that, and if they don't, there are patches out there that allow it.
The downside is that all of these apps are a lot more expensive than Swift3D. So be sure to decide how deep you will go into the wonderful world of 3D modelling and adjust your budget to that. Some packages are in excess of $4000 sometimes a lot more than that...
but.. others are under $500.. (good enough for most users) still, a lot more than the $150 you spend on an app like Swift3D or Flash.. Bear in mind, even though Swift3D is a standalone app, it acts more like a step in between, almost like a plugin for these big time 3D apps.
Cheers

Yes he can , but once 180 days of pending "I-485" are passed then you are free and protected by AC21.
Hi All,
I have an approved I-140 from an employer X. I-140 was approved 2 years ago. And last year I left X company and took a full time position. Since X is my frined he did not mind leaving his company at that time.
I applied for 485 in July as a future employee for X using that approved I-140. I got EAD and AP also.
Now we got into some money issues and he wants to revoke my I-140/I485?
Can he do that?
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Guys,
I sent my 485/ead/ap filing fee as one cashiers check.
This Cashiers check was created in end of June 2007 ( generaly validity till Sept 07 (90 days). Application was mailed in end of July by Attorney.
Now based on general application process, i am worried about my cashiers check being invalid before USCIS cashes the check and they may cancel the application.
Has anyone else had such an issue, & what is solution to this problem.
Please suggest.

EB3 is an overloaded ship, either you had to abandon(read porting to Eb2) or unload few of them (removing 245(i) cases from Eb3) to reach the target.
Abandoning can take an year for most of us - PERM Approval time line for now.
Unloading will never happen in this economic scenario
So we had to look for lifeboat saving to do the miracle. If any one finds it let me know am ready to grab it.

Even if you are doing it with good intention, i guess is true, have you thought of paying royalty for using IV as a platform .Any takers!!!
I hear you Munshi. It is certainly a risk.
As an immigrant entrepreneur, unfortunately I have to take some risks.
I sincerely believe this will help my IV friends and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to help our community.

Could you all please give me an opinion on this situation? I am trying to ask my lawyer, but I won't know for a few days and this is disturbing me a lot!
I am on H1, 7th year extension. My Labor just got approved. About to file 140. Now my project has apparently lost funding and the employer is offering me a temp job for 6 months till my 140 gets approved so I can use the approved 140 and move. But the catch is the new job requires a new H1 - different job description and pay. Will this affect my 140 filed with the old H1?

Hi,
On the USCIS website, it mentioned "normal processing time" in the following statement. I am wondering what is the normal processing time for I-485. I can't find it. When the published processing time is current for a case, how long it will take for a case to be approved?
My case suddenly becomes current for a month with the sudden forward movement of the processing time. I am wondering how long should I wait before I contact USCIS about my case if I do not hear anything from them.
When is name check initiated? When the case is received or when the case processing time becomes current?
Thanks!
---------From USCIS website---------
The processing times that we publish let you estimate how long it will take us to process cases filed before yours, and then process your case. However, every case is different and sometimes an individual case can take longer than average.
If you don't hear from us within the normal processing time, check for updated processing times on our website. If your case has a receipt number, use it to check on the status of your case at the same time. We recommend this action on your part because our notice may be on its way to you.
If at any point your case should become more than 30 days outside our normal processing time, and you haven't received a written decision or update from us within the last 60 days, you can help us by calling customer service and letting us know. We will research your case, see what needs to be done to get it processed, and get back to you with an explanation.
