If you are on H1B visa and hoping for a green card, get ready to walk to work.
A lot of people do not know that certain states like Pennsylvania will not issue a driver's licence if your H1B is about to expire in less than one year.
This is not the case in all states, but on inquiring, I learned that most states are going towards this as part of their move to make drivers licenses unavailable to illegals http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A45651-2004Sep23.html
If you are on H1B visa and applying for a green card, as described in this post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=74), you WILL end up in your sixth year of H1 visa if the current situation does not improve. Then you will be able to extend your visa only ONE year at a time. Which means if you end up in a state like PA, you will have to walk to work or use public transport (if your city has public transport).
But by then many would be married/with kids. In that case, they have to make sure their kids can walk to their school too!
And do not forget the grocery store.....make sure its nearby...
The list is endless.
And just because you are not from PA, do not rejoice. What if your company relocates or gets bought over by another firm and you move to a state which enforces such rules?
And though this is applicable to a certain states right now, it will come to YOUR state very soon....I know a person in PA who is going through this now and I'm sure no one wants to be in his shoes!
<Sarcasm>So why not have a proposal to modify the H1B application form and add a question
Are you aware that your permission to drive a vehicle in USA on H1B visa is valid only for five years? along with the other questions that we already have like 'have you ever been convicted/felon' etc?

Hello all:
I have few questions related to my travel plans to India. We will be leaving in January 2009.
We have our Advance Parole and EAD approved till 2009. I-485 is still pending . EB3 India.
My H1B visa stamp is not current or up-to-date on my passport. We have booked our flights with North-west airlines and KLM which will depart from Detroit-Amsterdam-Mumbai. I have few questions pertaining to my travel.
1) Would I still need to get a transit visa for Amsterdam, even though our flight will be halting for few may be 3-4 hours at Amsterdam- Schiphol Airport? If I do have to arrange for Amsterdam transit-visa, then where should I start as far as documentation is concerned.
2) Besides carrying my Passport, Advance parole copies with me, please advise me if I need to carry any more documentation from my end.
3) Would I need a copy of employment letter for visa purpose, or carrying my recent pay-stubs would be fine?
I would appreciate if you could please guide me with the travel related visa -requirements and documentation. Thanks!

my honest opinion on transit visa issues- the best way is to do a quick check on Netherlands website.......rather than only rely on answers on a public forum

Come on, Man�
Why are you so worried before even knowing whether your company is a TARP receiver or not?
BTW, if you entered on AP and still work for the same employer, then you are not on EAD. Also, you have no issues extending your H1.
Relax!!!
Hi rvr_jcop
Thanks for your valuble advice.To the best of my knowledge my company is not a TARP Company.So if my company happens to be a TARP company ,there is a possibility for H-1 renewal denail.otherwise not.Pls correct me.

just ignore H-1. you need not worry as you filed AOS. you need the H-1 approval only if you want to keep maintaining H-1 status by filing H-1 transfer with your new employer otherwise you can just ignore the H-1 you already filed. if you still want to revoke the H-1 petition, only your employer can do it as it is your company's petition.

There was a joke on something similar. I hope no one finds it offensive. It is just plain funny.
This guy walks into a sex doctor's clinic and begins with "My friend has a problem..."
Doctor: Ok..Take off your pants and let us have a look at your friend.

Since you have work authorization (EAD), you should apply for SSN. For job application you donot need SSN but once you get a job then your employer might ask yr SSN for background check and afterwards for pay check. Generally it takes 2 weeks to get SSN so it's better to apply in advance.
Refer to http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10002.html#how and check out Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5) under How do I get a number and card? You need to fill out this form.
This form has list of documents you need to get a SSN card. Generally you need to carry your Passport and EAD. They will return all the documents at same time. They won't keep the documents with them and they need all original documents. They donot accept Copies. Hope this helps.

how long it took for your EAD approval?
thanksI e-filed my AP and did not send any documents and just received an RFE requesting 2 photographs(write alien number with pencil in the back) and a preferably color photocopy of a photo ID.
So, please make sure that you send those supporting documents with the e file receipt to USCIS. They give out the address and instructions at the end of the application which are easy to follow.
Nevertheless, I e Filed EAD too and did not send any supporting documents and they approved it without issuing any RFE. They used an older picture from my previous EAD.
My 2 paise!!!

Hi Guys,
Here is my situation:
- Labor & I 140 cleared: PD Jan 07 EB2
- Currently working on 6th year H1B, lawyer is asking me to extend the H1B visa for another 3 years since the I-140 has cleared.
- Changed my job title from a project engineer to a lead engineer 180 days after filing I485 ( with lawyer consent).
- Now offered a manager role with in the same organization hence accepted the offer without notifying the lawyer.
- Lawyer will ask me to file for a H1b extension in July/Aug time frame do you believe this might create a huge issue due to change in the role from an engineer to a manager (still within the engineering organization though)?
Would really appreciate your inputs and comments to this, is there anything on the USICS website that clarifies this.
Thanks
Amit

Ok , just got off the phone with my lawyer.He says we can not file a I485 because the priority date is not current. EB3 is showing 01OCT01 and we can only file that form the bulletin is showing April2002. He says we are not eligible for that...
So now you are getting a feel of the whole mess we all are into. Welcome to the club!
Anyways, from all your posts I gather that your wife's GC application is in EB3 category with a Priority Date (PD) of April 2002.
You've never mentioned your country of citizenship but as of July 2006, the PD is not current for any one. Check out the bulletin at: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1770.html
Click on July 2006 and scroll all the way to the section of "Employment Based" Table. The first column (employment based) of this table lists categories. Yours, EB3, is 3rd. Now, depending on your country of citizenship you can check the available PD. Department of State updates this web page every month but because of current retrogression problem there is not a lot of movement for EB3 PD's.
You have other options like changing your employer and porting your PD to the new employer. Search in the forums for "Porting Priority Date" for more information. You should talk to your lawyer about this possibility.
Good Luck!

Hi All,
I have got fingerprint notice and appointment is after 3 weeks in Charlotte NC. I will not be available on that day and do not want to postpone the appointment.
I would like to prepone the appointment and I tried to find Charlotte USCIS local phone number but could not find anywhere. The only number is general 800 number and that was of no use.
Does anyone have any experience with Charlotte office? Can I just go there and will they do fingerprint any day before actual appointment? Charlotte is around 4 hours drive. It will be painful to drive there and find that they don't do fingerprint before appointment day. What day is normally good if I want to take the chance? Have anyone actually called them and prepone the appointment? What is the local office phone number?
These are two many questions. But all are related. Sorry for being so long and thanks in advance for your response...

Hello Friends,
Thanks for your time and for the suggestion. Some good news, we went back to the airport - got hold of the trolley folks (where my father had misplaced his passport pouch) and there were some really friendly folks who helped us locate the pouch from Lost and Found department. This happened in JFK.
Thanks again for the help.

I am in H1 and filed for 485 and EAD, AP. Still have my H1B visa in my passport. Does getting EAD mean you are no more in H1? Or you really have to USE it to be out of H1.

These are minor things, although annoying, but I wouldn't worry about them. I guess it's just your GC interview. The good thing is that they are processing your case. I would suggest taking your lawyer with you. When is your interview? Just curious what is the time frame. Good luck.
Thanks
Interview is scheduled during the first week of March.
