gcsucks,
I have done quite some research on this. Bottom line is you are taking major chance in loosing it unless one of the following applies.
1) You are married to Canadian citizen.
2) Your company is Canadian (or has office in Canada who can give letter that you are direct employee of a Canadian company working abroad).
Otherwise you are taking chance. The airlines etc will still let you board a plane etc to go there, and Canadian Govt is bound to let you in, but then you will have to fight a case against the cancellation of PR order and its a mess.
I would say decide one way or the other. I know its easie said than done.
If you are in EB3, than unless new laws are passed or something changes, you could go to Canada, live there 3 yrs, get Canadian citizenship and your PD will still be waiting for you at May 1st when you come back.
Best of luck

we were given special treatment because of our US citizen children. No waiting in line and even no qu from VO once he came to know about children
Actually I think that special treatment may be for all H1-b renewals. When we went for our stamping 3 years ago at Delhi, at the outside window they stamped our passport with "green" sticker or something like that and when we entered the hall at the FP window, they said you don't need to stand in line and we were taken directly to AO. We did not have children and it was my 2nd H1 renewal stamping and my wife's first H4 renewal stamping.

I am looking to accept a new full time position on H1b with a company other than my current employer. My current employer has offered me to continue with them on a partime basis with a concurrent H1 and I am looking to convert my current full time H1 into a part-time H1 and get the new company to file a new concurrent H1 petition for me for full time. There is no change in title or job description.
My question is whether changing a full time H1 into a part time (40 hrs/wk vs 20 hrs/month) constitute a material change ? and thus require filing of a new ameneded petition ? And are the filing fees same for an amended petition as for a new petiton.
Would appreciate if someone knowledgeable would comment.

I filed I-485 in July 2007 through my employer (EB3 with Priority date - 02/2004) and my wife filed her I-485 adjustment of status at the same time. We don't have our H-1 visas anymore and using EAD & AP for employment and travel.
We want to adopt a child in India as Inter-country adoption (as a Indian resident). For this, my wife have to travel to India and stay with the child for two years from the date of guardianship.
As there is no Green Card in sight for EB-3:
1. If she stays in India for two years, will it affect her I-485 application? If yes, how can we avoid that - like travel back to US once in a while etc.
2. As per US Immigration law, the parent(s) has to stay with the adoptive child for two years. Assuming that my wife stays with the child for 2 years in India, will the child get a visa so that we can bring the child to US? or do we need to file a I-485 for the child? What happens if my GC is approved within that 2 year period? Can we still bring the child to US? On what type of visa/status?
Appreciate any help in this regard.

We pay inflated auto insurance rates therefore boosting the economy.
We pay inflated property tax due to our inability to apply for homestead exemptions therefore boosting the local economy.
We cannot carry concealed firearms therefore boosting the local crackhead economy.
Okay, on a more relevant note to your request...
I can't substantiate the numbers, but I am sure that we contribute more volunteer hours per capita due to our spouses not being able to work.
Lower crime rate per capita due to fear of deportation.

When i heard that little girls question (recorded version in NPR news this morning) and michelle's response of "well, i guess your mom should have 'proper' documents" sounds very interesting. Does she imply that she is not happy to face that question or does she say in a subtle manner that illegals should not be here ?
One more thing to note is that in Maryland, schools "do not" check legal status of children's parents during school admissions.but isn't that atleast an utility bill or rental contract is required as proof of residence? then in that case, how the systems are working here ?
On the other hand, one of my close friend ( 11th year in this country with H1B extension in pending) can not get a driver license despite the fact he is a tax payer, his status is absolutely legal, bought a home few years back, working for a real company, but just can not get his driver's license in Missouri.
What a shame?
In an extraordinary exchange at an event that is usually just a photo op, First Lady Michelle Obama fielded a question from a second grader that really reminds us of the fact that the millions of people in the US working without status today are real people with real families. While the antis choose to dehumanize these folks by portraying them as criminals and parasites, this little girl reminds us that we're talking about people who are faced with terrible choices in life - living in utter poverty in an unstable homeland or living in the shadows in a wealthy...

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.

Hello
I am working on a L1 B Blanket Visa since the past 3 years. My visa is expiring on 11/18/08 and my employer encourages me to apply for a fresh petition from India rather than apply for an extension here due to the no. of cases denied. My wife is presently employed through EAD which expires the same date.
Is there any way that she can retain her employment while we both get our VISA stamped a month before my current VISA expiry date from India ? She might not get 2 months leave without pay which is the usual processing time for a re-extension of EAD considering we both arrive in US after getting a new VISA in the first week of November 2008. Please advise.
I don't see the gain. Although a fresh L petition has better chance of approval, you still have to get a visa approved, which may get rejected.
Given your wife's situation of EAD, you are better off applying for an extension here. They will not reject an application as long it meets all the requirements.

Folks,
The online status shows a different date than the receipt date my lawyer is telling me. I am july filer......the lawyer telling me july date and online shows sept date.......
Is this normal?
Thank You
thats fine. the receipt date on your I-485 receipt is the date for all your needs (AC-21 etc). The online date is many times the notice-date (in my case), the date the case was transferred to some other location (for some others)

Hi,
I had applied for my H1 extension in June 2008 and waited for some time and then upgraded it to premium processing in July. I did not get any result on my H1 extension but in the meantime my GC was approved in August. My question is will i be able to get my H1 processing fee back, at least the premium processing fee. I heard if your H1 processing doesn't get any result in certain time you will be entitled to get your money back.
Thanks in advance
I highy doubt it that you will get any fees back from USCIS. If you ask about the status of your H1 they will just get back to you saying that your H1 application was rejected since the applicant is n longer in Non Immigrant status as your status chnaged to Immigrant as soon as your Green Card was approved. You can try but very few people have actually recieved fees back from USCIS. Good luck

Apply H4 with lawyer or by ourselves? My lawyer took care of my H1B, green card cases. Do I need to apply H4 for my wife through my lawyer? What is the advantage of using lawyer with H4 application. Can I apply it by myself? Is there any H4 application checklist around? Thank you.
If its first time, I dont think you have to apply for H4 here. All you need is, give all the needed documents and get the appointment with visa consulate. She has to get the H4 stamping and come here. But when you need to extend the H4 visa, you need to apply to the USCIS.
This is what my experience...

I am sure this what might have happened since you talked about FP.
Did you and your attorney both receive the FP notices ? I think one of those copies was returned to USCIS as undeliverable. What they do is they wil check the system for any address change and then put the returend FP notices alogn with the envelope in a new envelope and mail it out again. We had this weird status for few people duingthe Jul 07 rush and that was what it was. Let us know if this is the case..

Hi Gurus,
I filed my 485 in June 07 ad hd my FP on 7th September, 07. I read on some of the threads that we would be geting notices for additional finger printing after 15 months or so. I havent received any yet. Should I be proactive an request for one? Will my EAD finger printng count towards the requirement? ( I had given my biometrics formy EAD last April i.e 08 April ). Is this the reason why I did not get the FP notice? Any one in my boat?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance
Anyone please share ur opinion.
