She definitely would have issues if plan to travel in TN visa. TN visa is not supposed to have any immigration intent.
The best thing to do is change her status to parolee and start working using EAD. There is no reason for her to continue in TN status, after filing 485.

I agree w/ Morch: TN, unlike H1B, is not a dual-intent visa. Change to EAD/AP.

Strictly speaking, she cannot use the AP to enter the US unless she had it in her possession when leaving the US.

Just wondering if anybody is giving up hopes of GC and switching from H1B to E3D (Dependent of Australian spouse) to take advantage of 2-yr renewable EADs...? How long does it take to get the initial EAD...Continue working without pay (or is there a workaround) while waiting for EAD?....any problems getting visa stamped with a 'yes' for past immigrant petition filed...
7yrs in this country...EB2 PD of 10/07 due to job changes..no 140 yet, no 485...6yrs in same job? no promotions? with 3yr extensions...frustration beyond words...E3D seems to a ray of hope but no idea of complications involved.
Yeah its frustrating everyone waiting for a GC .. I think doing something is better than nothing. Go with your spouse. Who knows things might take a turn for the better.

Hi,
I am planning to apply my Green card. However I am a bit confused which category will I fall to ? EB2 or EB3 ?
As per my job requirement details, it is as below:
i ) Bachelor degree in technology related field.
In the detailed experience seeked, it says as below:
i) Five years of experience with installing, maintaining servers.
ii) Three years of practical experience in routing and network security.
I have more than 5 years of working experience (which they seeked) before I started this job.
Under which category will it fall under, EB2 or EB3 ?
Thank you

I have to admit that I'm a little less educated in these immigration things than a lot of others. So, some questions might be of very basic nature.
I have been with a company for almost 9 years now. It was a relatively small one (2000 people). A bigger company (20,000 people) bought that. And, an even bigger (70,000 people) one bought that !! In all this process, my H-1B and GreenCard applications have been well-cared for by the company attorneys/lawyers. My I485 was filed in July 2007 during the rush. I have EAD...it has been renewed once as well.
My PD is NOT current as of September VB.
Although I have EAD, I used my H-1B extension to enter US in 2008 as this H-1B is valid till Jun 2010.
Now, I see a possibility of getting laid-off due to the latest acquisition/merger.
In order to find a new job, I want to know what all things I should care about and/or worry about. I don't think if I get laid-off, the company will do anything nasty without talking to me or at least telling me. So, here is what I'm trying to find out :
00. Should I immediately hire a lawyer to care for my pending I485 case with USCIS ?
01. If laid-off, what documents should I ask from my company for my records ?
02. I have EAD. So, is it true that I can still live in US as long as I want/my case is in pending status even if I cannot land a job ? If not true, how much time do I have on my hands to wrap-up and leave ?
03. Do I HAVE TO find a new employer that will be willing to support my I485 case ? If so, what all things the new employer will need to do ? Or, can I join a company that is may not be willing to support a foreign national's GC process and handle the case myself ?
04. Is it ABSOLUTELY necessary to find a job that identical to what job I'm currenytly doing and my LC was certified for ?
05. If and when laid-off, can I do part-time jobs that are related to the field of my epertise but not same in nature as in my LC. For example : If I'm a Java programmer, can I teach at a training institute couple hours a day, 3-days a week ?
Any response will be very much appreciated...
Thanks&Regards

my 485 was filed abt 1.5 years back. 140 has been approved for more than 8 months too.
So now if I want to change my job
Using EAD , I know that job duties have to be similar.
How about on H1b transfer? Does the job duties similar requirement hold good?
Also anyone changing job on H1b , if ex-employer withdraws I-140, what kind of RFE does it generate?
Thanks much!

Your total withholding is $1400 or your difference with using 3 allowance or 6 allowance is $1400. Assuming you are talking about total. Your difference should be 300-400 a month. I am not justifying your companies attitude nor I am asking you to not take any action. But all I am telling you is it's not a big deal..personally I feel better when I get a chunk of money in Tax refund. But for that I have to wait one full year and deductions are $1400 more per month.

for 482 the 2 checks of 325 and 70 and one check of 180$ for I765 should be payble to 'Department of Homeland Security', or 'United States Citizenship and Immigration Service'
The form says it should be payble to 'Department of Homeland Security' and the immigration voice 485 help thread says it should be payble to 'United States Citizenship and Immigration Service' .
Please suggest and sorry if this si a repost. I could not find a exact answer.
Thanks

i don't think disability is a bar especially if you're an employee and contributing since 98. Of course, there are some health related bars, but many of those relate to communicable dieases etc. The USCIS has publications on the medically-related bars, you should check on the USCIS website for more information (search for a form I-693)

Hi ChainReaction,
Look into the discussions in my thread "Transferring Companies after I-140 approval" and the possibbilities are discussed clearly. In fact, I consulted a lawyer out of my own interests and posted the outcome.
Hope it helps.

I'm going to get married to a Divorcee and she has a son. Is there any issue in bringing her son as my dependent. Currently I'm on L1B. If so, what is the procedure.
Thanks for your advise.
Regards,
Sylace
After marriage he will be your step-son and is eligible for L2 dependent visa.

what amount lawyer is asking?
Hi,
I am trying to renew my EAD/AP myself and wanted to check if I will be getting the EAD card and AP documents by mail to my address.
I am avoiding the lawyer, as he's charging unreasonable amount.
Question:
When self-filing, would I be getting the EAD/AP documents at my home address???
Thanks.

Hi,
I was working with company# A as Electronics Engineer from Dec �03 to Jan �07 on H1B visa, Company# A filed my GC in May �05 (as Electronic Engineers (Except Computer), 172072.), then later I got very good opportunity in IT field, I quite Company# A and joined Company #B because I build very good relation with Company #A and there were ready to continue my GC file. In August �07, I filed I-485 (I got EAD based on pending I-485). Now Company #B giving me lay-off, so my question is �
Company# A still want to hire me after I got GC (because they were very happy with me, right now they don�t have position to hire me back), In this case can I continue working in IT field on EAD status (right now I am on H1B). My current (IT) and Labor profile are both different.
Thanks for your time.

People at the airports( I assume the same for checkpoints) care more about what's the date on the stamp and if you have a valid H1-B to support.
In my case, I had a company A's H1-B Visa stamping(Still valid at that time) and Company B's H1B papers.
Very rarely do they pull-over(it happened for me on a different occassion) and quiz you.
I believe when you say you are abandoning H1-B you are abandoning the petetion and not the Visa.

Hi Guys,
On July 2nd I have applied for my wife (EAD, AP, I485) and have waited for 3 months (October 1st) to hear that USCIS has rejected her application due to wrong fees (But we have sent them the correct fees)
My Lawyer immediately sent back the application to USCIS saying that the Check we have sent is correct and it is before increasing the fees and we haven�t done any mistake.
In the meantime on July 16th I got my 485 approved and got my GC. So now we were worried as my wife is already out of status and don�t know how long it will take now to get her receipts and how long she can stay.
I have tried calling USCIS � Every time same answer -- you have to wait, you have to wait No records in the Database. Yesterday when I called, a Lady answered the phone and she said we need to wait 90 more days again as it is like a new Submission and it was a shock for me after hearing that.
Can any body suggest me what to do in this kind of situation? Is there any body in the same situation?
Thanks

So a question that's worth pondering. If I am on 485/EAD without H1b, does this mean I have the right to work but not the right to stay in the US?
The EAD card only gives us the right to work (as said on the card, cannot be used for entry), and my 485 has been pending for more that 240 days.
Is there any explicit stipulation for the 485 that allows me to be in the US as long as it is not denied?
