I am working with Company B on H-1b. My GC labor, I-140, I-485 and EAD is filed by Company A. Now, I am close to getting EAD in few weeks. Few say that once EAD is approved, then I have start working for Company A immediately. Others say that GC and EAD is for future employment with Company A and hence, I should start working for Company A only after GC is approved.
So, I have two questions and need advice.
1. When should I start working for Company A, upon approval of EAD or approval of GC.
Ideally, I would like to start working for Company A upon approval of GC.
2. Even, if I want to transfer EAD to Company B, the job title differs as the job title on GC is more junior than the current role.
Please let me know if anyone has similar situation and need what the reality is when EAD is approved.
Thanks.

If you were trying to be funny there, seriously, I didn't get it.

I'm currently on h1b, with PERM approved and I-140 filing in progress.
At what stage of the green card process can I write iPhone Apps for the Apple App Store and accept payments for them?
I know I'm allowed to own a company but not take a salary on h1b. So would it be possible to incorporate a company and then let the money accumulate in company accounts until I get to the stage when I can accept payments? Can the company pay for development resources such as equipment and accessories needed for developing the Apps even if I don't take a salary?

Address Change Online: 24x7 & Calling USCIS : Mon - Fri
Is it enough if I change the address online and confirm it with USICS.
Will they resend my EAD card or should I do anything else to request them to resend my card to the new address?
Thank you.

Just want to let you know though that if you file on or after July 30th, the fee for application of I-140 will be the new one. It's only for I-485, I-131 and I-765 that will be honored for the old filing fee until the 17th of August. :)
As per the last revised visa bulletin, the extension period for filling I-485 is Aug 17. But it talks about only I485 and not about I-140.
So can anyone confirm, if one can file I-140 and I-485 concurrently from Aug 1 to Aug 17.

amsaleem is right. The exp I used was the one i had prior to my filling date.
fromnaija i dont agree with what u have to say. In my case i used my exp to prove that I can do the job for which my LC was applied for.
Here is my situation.
Worked for 2 1/2 years with an Indian company. Joined the current company in Apr 2001. Applied for my LC on Jan 2004. Got my LC approved on Jan 2006. My lawyers took their own sweet time to apply I 140 and was applied in Mar 2006 and got approval on October 2006. I used my exp from Apr 2001 to Jan 2004 to prove that i can do the job. The job descriptions were very similar. Hope this helps.

You will have to file an amended petition to be in compliance.
The PW could be different and you can check that on the OES website at flcdatacenter.com
Hope this helps.

Bear in mind the following
You dont need to pay any tax in India for money that you withdraw from your 401k for only upto two years after you return back to india. (your are no longer a nri and the 2 years is the buffer)
For any money you withdraw after 2 years, you need to tay tax in US (which shouldnt be a lot if you withdraw little by little and you being non-resident of usa) and also pay tax in india (which could be quite a bit)
If you have GC then you can take out ur 401k in 2 installments (because u have RNOR status for 2 years) and file tax as a resident in USA (because of GC).
If you don't have GC then please take all ur 401k in one shot in the year you leave. Otherwise you'll pay 10% penalty and then 30% tax to USA because you will be a Non resident as for as US is concerned in the next year.

Hi All,
I am currently on h4 visa and have been searching for a h1 sponsorer to do h1 workpermit visa in the coming april 2009 lottery (if there is one).
I am very new to understand the rules and regulations and seek help from experienced folks here.
1) If i file a non-profit h1b visa , i was suggested that i can work immediately, is that true?
2) If i file a normal h1b visa, now in the april 2009 lottery, is it ok for me to go back to home country after filing the visa, because even if it gets selected and approved in lottery i can work only from oct 2009 right, so what happens if i go to home country, how can i get stamping because i have not yet started work and will not have any pay stubs.
3) I have been searching monster, indeed etc to find a sponsorer for my visa, i attended 2 interviews till now and cleared them too but when it comes to work permit they are not willing to do h1 for me. I have lost all hopes and posting here to find out if there are any companies who are willing to do h1b.
I am not in software field, i am in to bio technology and i am looking for the post of clinical research coordinator or clinical research associate CRA , CRC.
If any of you know any company which does h1b for CRA, CRC it would really be helpful if you could post me the link of the company here.
I know this is a immigration site and not a job search, but i have lost all hope of working here since i have exhausted my search on monster , craigslists indded and other sites.
Am not able to find out who would sponsor h1b for clinical research, so am posting here.
Please help with any info you have. Thanks for your time.

As far as I know, one is only required to file taxes on foreign accounts if they have $10000 or more in their accounts at any time during the financial year. Please correct me if I am wrong. Also, check: Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) (http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=148849,00.html)
One is supposed report tax even if they make a dollar but they dont need to fill out the FBAR form if the value of all accounts put together is less than 10K.
Even i started including it my tax last year and did my FBAR form. NRE account will not be TDS only NRO accounts have TDS. Infact, you dont have to pay IT in India for NRE accounts. Thats the reason people from Middle East put their money in NRE accounts.
For 200$ they will not come after you. It is small pickings. I think you should include while filing your taxes and depending upon how much you have in the accounts you may or may not file FBAR. Remember it is all your accounts that inlcudes any savings account, mutual fund accounts, post office etc. If you have paid any tax in India then you could potentially show that in your US tax and get credit for that. I personally have not done it because my income is less than the initial tax slab in india.

When the news broke about PDs becoming current, I told 2 of my friends and my family that there is something wrong going on.
It is a common sense that the visa numbers are governed by policies and should be approved by senators in parliament if not by the president.
There were no indications in senate sessions nor announcement of any political intervention at the highest level to turn the table all together.
DOL and USCIS have all excuses to wash their hands of the issue now.
We should learn to forget what has happened to prepare ourselves to move on and on and on ....
Unless there happens a miracle like in fairy tales, we never know, all depends on our karma and not worthwhile to blame anybody on this.

This is an excellent book .. a must read for all those xenophobes, restrictionists and lawmakers who believe we steal american jobs.
Wonder if contacting the author David Heenan will be of any help ?

gimme_GC2006,
I used my AP twice via JFK. Both times sent to secondary. No questions asked, just had to wait an extra 90 minutes due to people in front of me and was given my passport with the I94 back.
so nothing to fear.
ok..cool..thanks !!
Hopefully mine will also be cool. :)

I have been thru K-1 crap and finally got my wife here from vietnam. I only have one last thing to say to you all......you should ALL be working for the red tape system. No one willing to take a second and offer ANY useful advice, which was my query. Instead I have not filled out the proper form, crossed all the T's and dotted the I's and can't get any help...form rejected....NEXT!

Here are my thoughts about this so called Conversation:
the topic of discussion will be - how to get illegals a greencard in a quick/fair manner. Any discussion of legal non-immigrants and pains they have to go through in the current EB2/EB3/Visa stamp topics will be considered taboo.
It's sad but inevitable. Illegals are potentially in a better position to get greencard than legals like us.
