It is perfectly legal to let two employers file for her H-1B visa. She can even work for both of them!
Hi,
A friend of mine who's in India right now has been offered a job by two different employers here in the US. Both of those employers want to file for her H1B.
From her perspective it makes sense to let both the employers apply for her H1 coz that increases her chances of getting at least one approved. However, reading a bunch of FAQs online it seems that it'd be illegal for her to let both the employers apply for her H1B.
Is that correct? Does anyone have any insights?
Thanks.

I have heard this before on other forums , too.
I believe, the USCIS CSR confused "unrestricted" SSN with a "restricted" SSN. Most people on some kind of work permit (F1,H1B, EAD) have "Eligible to work with DHS authorization" ( or something similar ) imprinted on their Social Security card ( it certainly is in my social ), and I believe people with GC/USC don't have any such thing written on their SSN ( it's purely a guess by me, I'm yet to see a GC/USC holders SS card ;) ) . So, I don't think people on work permit can work just with DL and SS card ( if they could , why would they have not done until now :confused: ? ) .
But, on the other hand, I'd like to know, if people can continue working on the EAD receipt itself ??

I am posting this on behalf of my cousin who is stuck in India pending stamping. He went to Mumbai consulate for H1 B stamping on Apr 29th. He was asked for further evidence about his employer and his employer's payroll details for all employees etc. After much confusion created by the consulate, the details were provided by his employer and by him (sealed copies) as well. He has visited the consulate 3 times and VFS office couple of times and was told your passport will be returned in couple of days but till date he has not received it.
He also has his AOS application pending with USCIS with his wife as the primary applicant. He has a valid EAD card and AP (which needs renewal). It's been a really long time he had to spend away from his family. He has certain questions he would like to get clarified,
1. How long can it take for 221g pending case to clear? I have submitted my passport to consulate on 10th Jun.
2. Can I write consulate a hand written mail (not an email) asking for passport saying that I want to travel on travel doc as I'm away from my wife for 8,9 months.
3. Can I ask consulate to return my passport without H1 stamping for renewal of Travel Document (AP)?
4. Can I travel on my travel doc (AP) after asking my passport back without any problem at the port of entry?
5. After asking for my passport back will it affect the renewal of my travel document (AP)?
Thanks a lot!

No. Once it has expired, it has expired. The DOL implemented the 180 day rule in July 2007, and since then, all cases have been subjected to it. I have not heard of any exceptions to this rule.
Hello,
I am from India. My employer had applied for PERM EB2 labor while my old EB3 labor was still pending. My EB3 labor, with priority date of MAR 2005, was approved before July fiasco and I was able to apply for 485/EAD/AP/etc.
Last August (2007), my PERM labor was approved too; I had the chance to file a new I140 and request interfiling with my existing 485 application. But my lawyer suggested me not file a new I140 and we let the approved EB2 labor expire.
Now, I am having second thoughts, as I did then. Is there any way I can use the old expired labor (> 180 days after approval). I know I cannot use it directly to file I140, but are there any ancillary benefits of having an approved, albeit expired labor? I am thinking of either checking with my employer if they can file a new EB2 PERM labor if I qualify, or switching my jobs.
Thanks.

Hi
I have similar situation with my EAD renewal too, my employer filed my EAD renewal, my I-485 case is pending in TSC (txed from NSC) but my renewal was sent to NSC, when enquired, following is the response I received back from my companies Immigration group,
"Renewal applications are filed based on the location of your residence, as per CIS requirements"
I am based out of MN, hence NSC.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have 2 lawyers to select from. Both are good. One of them is the lawyer company (his office locate in the same city) which is the most expensive. The other lawyer is really good and his expenses is pretty good.
My question is that: Is it better to stuck with the company lawyer as he can handle the perm better. That may because he knows well where to advertise? Or it does not matter? I am just worried that the lawyer that live in another state will not know very well about the city and where he should advertise.
As anyone think, I also want to make sure that he does not over advertise such that we may get many applicants?
Please advise me if I should stuck with the company lawyer or it does not matter?
Thanks
Your lawyer cannot advertise. It is illegal. Your employer has to advertise. The lawyer works with your employer in the Perm process and your employer selects the candidate. So you do not control anything in the PERM process. Also, your employer needs to pay for Perm process and not you.

you dont have to withdraw 485 for dependents as it will automatically expire. In some rare cases USCIS may allow applicants who have stayed out of US beyond AP expiry date to reinstate AOS application but that is at the discretion of the officer. it could be humanitarian grounds.
if you can get 2 yr multiple entry AP, that could probably reduce your renewal frequency.

I havn't gotten mine yet. Filed on Sept 11th at VSC. Check seems to have cleared though -according to the Attorney. However I guess the delay in my case is the exception rather than the rule.
I am also in same boat.Applied on 15 oct ,so far no receipt.

Today, our AP status has changed to "Document mailed to applicant". Does this mean that they have mailed the approval document or is it an RFE document?
For most of the applicants the status has turned to "Approval Notice sent" but mine is different. Is anyone in the same boat.

Hi,
My H1 is expiring on 31st March. And my employer applied for I129 which is recieved on 3rd Feb.; in case I do not get approval from USICS before/on 31st March, CAN I stay in USA & work?
And my DL is also expiring on same day but DMV is not ready to issue new DL until I get new approval. How can I get DL if I do not get approval doc by 31st macrh.
Is there any chance I do not get H1 approval (even after 31st March)...
regards...

I got my GC but my wife's application (based on my 485) is still pending. I think at this point I can switch jobs/go to school full time and it won't affect my spouse's case. Just want to double check on this, any thoughts??

yes, that is correct, i meant can i got for H-1 stamping while 485 is pending
and ead/ap is approved.
Again in case the H-1 stamping is denied for any reason , can i come back on AP
I am a little concerned of H1 stamping being a problem because my case is complicated ,for the years June 2005- June 2006 i dont have a H1 approval from USCIS for the 6th year, This was because the case was stuck in a security check .
We applied a case again in April 2006 , which was approved on August 2006 ( after the security check has been completed ).
