If your wife is using the EAD obtained after you filed I-485, she is no longer on H4. Technically there is no reason for her to still be on H4 but if you want her to maintain H4 she may need to travel out of country and obtain a new H4 visa with your new approved H1.
Also technically she was not out of status since you spplied I-485 before the previous H4 expired.

Hi,
I already sent the group request but haven't received a phone call yet. Do you know who the chapter leader is so that I can contact him?
Thanks.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD AFTERNOON GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html

2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.

I am EB3 - Dec 2004 filer and there is no hope for few years that my date get current. i have filed another GC through my sister in May 2006 and that F4 category is moving quicker and expecting my priority date will be current in 5 years through my sister.
i have bought 2 Family house in Jersey City. now for my kids education we thought to move to India for 4 to 5 years until we get call for GC though my sister.
we are going to rent house - it's multi family near NYC. my landloard is willing to take care of it in our absence.
my Q is can i get B1 (Visitor visa) for 10 years , if we show that we have property in US and we may need to visit just to take check it ??
should we inform immigration officer about GC filed though my sister to assure that we will not stay in US longer, to get B1 visa?
can we get visitor visa before leaving USA? i mean convert from H1 to B1 for multi year?

I came to US on a L1 Visa, changed jobs got a H1 visa but never left the country for the last 3 years so dont have a H1 stamping in my passport.
I will be getting my 7th year extension (probably 3 yrs based on my approved I-140) soon and i have to visit India atleast this year. With no hopes of 485 filing and absolutely no hopes for CIR i need to plan to get a Visa stamping in my passport.
With the Interview dates at US Embassy in Chennai already gone till December First week, do you know whether i can get my H1 stamping done in any of the Canadian Embassies?
Has anybody whose case is similar to mine got their stamping done in Canada? Advice me on any risks.
regards
anand

I know that most of the people on this forum are EB filers. However, for the few stragglers here who are filing in the family based category, please share your experience on filing the I-751 (petition to remove the condition on the GC). Specifically, I'd like to know the following:
- Estimated time from filing date to receipt of permanent GC
- Did you have interview with USCIS?
- Compare / contrast with first interview during the AOS process.
Thanks

One of the stumbling blocks in the behind the scenes negotiations to craft a bipartisan immigration reform bill that also has the support of business and labor unions has been a proposal to create a commission that would basically determine quotas for all employment-based immigration categories. The business community and many Republicans have expressed concerns that the commission would be politicized. Labor unions have not been compromising on this issue and that has caused delays in working out a final deal that will allow Senator Schumer to introduce his bill. According to journalist Jeffrey Kaye, however, a compromise may be...

I am in the same situation. My I-140, with receipt date of Dec 13, 2006, is still pending with the TSC. Can you give me details of your pending I-140?
I mailed my I-485 and I-765 last May 25. Until now, no receipt date yet.

Hi Guys,
My wife is going to go to school this August for her masters. I am on H1 she is here on H4 and My I 140 is cleared. Now my question is
1> Is it possible for her to convert to F1 (she is still not part of the GC process we haven't filed I 485)?
2> What is the process to get this conversion of status done?
3> How long does it take? (we live in California and she will be going to school in CA as well.)
4> I understand that for her to get OPT she should be on F1 but does it matter for how long she has to be on F1?
5> Just change of status is enough of would she need to get F1 Stamped?
Thanks a zillion for helping us out.

I had applied EAD back in 2009.
I received my EAD which was valid from 06/02/2009 to 06/01/2010.
I had applied 485 back in August 6,2007.
So here are the questions:
1) Some of the instruction says, we should not pay for EAD application if we applied on or after 30 July 2007 though I applied in 2009 with application fee of $375.
Should I get back the above filling?
2) Why the EAD was issued for 1 year instead of 2 years for the first time?
3) If I apply now should I file with application fee? Because some instruction says that I donot have to send filing fee as this is a renewal.
4) Can I file electronically?
5) Should I file for EAD to Nebraska office where I filed 485 back in 2007?
Thanks in advance.

The USCIS has issued guidelines for petitioners filing cap-subject H-1B petitions for Fiscal year 2011. The guidance explains what that cap is, what petitions are subject to the cap, filing fees, where to file, etc. See here (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=4b7cdd1d5fd37210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=73566811264a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60a RCRD).

Folks,
My GC was applied with employer A in Nov-2005. 485 applied during July 2007 fiasco. Even though I have EAD/AP, I have always maintained H1B status.
Recently got H1B transferred to employer B and its approved for 3 years.
My H1B visa (from employer B) will expire this month.
Can I make a trip to India and re-enter using AP, and still maintain H1B status?
I dont want to go through the hassle of going for H1B visa stamping for 10th to 12th year.
Thanks in Advance.
