Hi, I have 3 yrs exp. as a software engineer. I have a master's degree . In order to be qualified for EB2, which is better to be put on the job ad, BS+5 or MS+2? Based on my understanding:
BS+5: BS is believed to be qualified enough for the software engineer position. But BS+5 may not be qualified for EB2?
MS+2: Master degree is good for EB2, but wondering if the DoL thinks it is necessary for a SE position.
Could you please give me advice on this? I really appreciate that.
Thanks.

Hello everybody,
I just got my Labor done few days back. I am in India now, but looks like I have to file I140/485 before Aug 17th. For this, MUST I fly back immediately, or can I file from India (by couriering the required documents).
How will this work for my wife (who is on H4 now)?
If I only travel back to US, can I file for my wife too. Or I file it for myself, and file for my wife after Aug17th when she is back.
Or MUST my wife also be present in US to file the I140/485?
Pls advice.
thanks,
-Prasad

You can set up a company in India, while you are on an H1B. Are your clients in the US or India ? India & US have a double taxation treaty. If you get paid in India and keep the funds in India, you dont have to pay US taxes on that income. But you will have to pay taxes in India and report in the US.
Thank you all for your valuable input. I have a follow up question :
Will I be breaking any laws if I just do voluntary marketing and promotional work for my company in India.
Here is the situation :
My clients will be in USA and they will be paying my company in India. I will be on the board of the company , and will be doing voluntary marketing and promotional work for the company while residing in USA.
Thank you for your time.

as long as the I-797 is current the expired stamp does not matter but do send a copy of it.
You dont have to renew EAD if she is not working and save $340. Her next EAD (whenever she applies) will be a new Application.
But do remember it always takes time to obtain an EAD so if she needs it any time in future she will have to wait so be very sure about not working. EAD is not a proof of legal status only an authorization toi work so you dont need it if you dont plan to work.
As for AP, unless you dont plan to travel even for emergency reasons of have valid H1 stamped or can get it stamped you dont need it.
For wife make sure her travel is not in between applications. She should travel with an approved AP and apply for renewal and wait for it to be approved before she departs the country.

Generally it is little difficult to sponsor a GC through one's own business. USCIS wants to know if it is a legitimate business, with revenues, employees, contracts etc
My attorney told me the same thing. USCIS wants to know if it is a legitimate business. However, if you wish to start/buy a business. Approach SCORE / SBA at your county. Make a business plan. Plan it out with recruiting employees at a later stage. After some time apply for green card. You never know you would be able to make a succesful business.
I went through some of the process but it does not suit me so i backed off.
Please update your information.

please note: the final USCIS operating procedures relating to AC21 is stillborn eight years after the law was passed, which means the government can make the interpretation of AC21 loose or tight as it sees fit.

I wanted to start this thread so we could get together a plan of action for victims of undue processing delays for EAD/AP. This is a very serious and upcoming issue and we would all be well served to pool ideas.
Here is what I have so far. Some ideas based on my experience and some on searching the web.
1) Apply for your EAD atleast 120 days ahead of the expiry of the current one(USCIS now reccomends 6mths ahead!) Yes you may lose time if they approve it early but atleast, you have the peace of mind and it gives you 30 days breathing space in case of RFE or to get an interim EAD.
2) Check for a LUD at or slightly after 80 days pending. Contact your lawyer at about this time for suggestions.
3) Schedule an infopass appointment for day 91. Ask for the interim EAD.
You can also call the regional service center if you wish.
4) Contact your congressman's office at about this time and ask for their assistance in expediting this request.
5) Fedex an application for an interim EAD the same day. Include a copy of your current EAD copy, your pending 485 on which the interim benefits are based and a copy of attendance at any recently done biometrics.
6) Consider talking with your employer to take a few days off while sorting this out.
If anyone has any additions to this checklist of items or suggestions/modifications. Let me know.

#1 - If a suitable USC, LPR responds your PERM advert then you can not move forward with PERM labor processing. When the job market is good, number of people responding to the advert will low, so it increases the chances for you.
On the other hand, chances are that a large number of applicants might not have the exact skillset mentioned in your advertisement as the current market has driven some desperate candidates to apply even if the requirement matches only 10% of their profile. So, it depends on your luck. The general assumption is that, people look to better their salaries, roles when the economy is doing good. So it is not necessarily going to help you a lot even in a good economy. This topic can be argued both ways.
Be greedy when the market is fearful and be fearful when the market is greedy - W.B

- 485/765/131 submitted in Aug. Receipts are in with Oct 1 as the date. Why would they mark a date in October on the notice even though they physically received the applications on Aug 15th?
- Should I be receiving an EAD 90 days from Aug 15th or Oct 1?
Contact USCIS and let them know that the application was delivered on Aug 15th.Open a service request.
- My H1 will expire by the end of the year. Should I be concerned? Do I have to do anything if I receive the EAD before it expires? Assume a case where I get my EAD approved and for some reason, my wife who is on H1, fails to get her EAD before the end of this year. Do I have to file for her extension, or take some other action?
H1B expiring shouldn't be of concern.Once your H1b expires you are in Adjustment of Status.Inform your employer to change the employer verification details in I9. Ask him use the EAD instead of H1B.
As far as your wife is concerned it still doesnt matter whether she gets her EAD or not before her H1 expires.But she cannot continue to work once her
H1B expires until she receives the EAD .If I were you I would extend both the H1b and stay on h1b until possible.
- When can a person safely switch his/her employer? 180 days after filing the application or after receiving I485 approval?
180 days after filing for 1485 provided your I140 was approved.
- Can a spouse work on the basis of the receipt notice from USCIS, or does she need to have the EAD approval?
NO.She needs EAD card. Approval notice cannot be used to work.Thats illegal.
- How long (currently) would it take to receive the Green Card in hand? Are there enough numbers available with USCIS to allot GCs to almost everyone who qualifies?
Once approved anywhere from 7-30 days you might get the GC by mail.
I dont know whether there are enough numbers.I won't even speculate.
- Would I get the fingerprinting notice directly or would my employer receive it?
You would get a copy of the FP notice.
- What other formalities would be left after (assuming) 485/765 are approved?
765 is EAD.Its a interim benefit while your 485 is in process.485 is for adjustment of status.Once 485 is approved you get the GC. There are no formalities.Have fun and njoy
- Does anyone know of a good site that shows a workflow of all these stages in a Green Card process?
check out this 485 SOP (http://www.immigration.com/newsletter1/uscissopprocd.pdf)and there are more if you can google it.
Goodluck

I'll be applying for my wife's and my visa stamping and therefore did some research on this issue myself. I believe that we'll need to print out DS-160 as well and take it to the consulate, the same way we did with previous forms. We can, therefore, write our names (or whoever is the applicant) in our native language on it.

There are 2 different dates: Notice and Receipt Date.
Receipt date is when they got it, which in your case is July 30th. This date is used to count 180 days for your 485 File date.
Notice Date is the date when they entered the information in to their system, which in your case is September 5th. This date is used for processing dates and all.
I hope this helps.
