Actually I have an L2 not an L1...hence the need of an EAD before the green card...

Hi Sri,
Don't panic. This is NOT the end of your immigration journey. You are covered by AC-21, so if you find a job in a similar occupation with another employer, you can certainly take it. Your employer should seriously consider appealing the denial in order to preserve its reputation and to continue to employ H-1 workers.
If you have reason to believe that your employer might not be fully compliant with immigration laws, particularly as they relate to labor certifications and I-140's, you would be most protected if you changed employers
Ann
Thanks a bunch Ann. I really appreciate your help.
Thank you IV.
You made my friday.
Thanks,

My Permanent residency is being processed thru Employer A (I-140 not done yet).
Employer A also holds my H1B. This is my only H1B, and it extends based on approved labor as I am on my 7th year if H1B.
If A files for Chapter 11, will my H1B and permanent residency get cancelled/revoked?
If my current H1B is valid till Nov 2010, and employer A files for chapter 11 in Dec 2010, will I be able to stay/work in US at least till Nov 2010?
What will be my options if H1B / GC gets cancelled? Can I transfer this H1B to a different employer? Or, can a different employer has to file for a new H1B? :confused:
Your answer/advices are highly appreciated.

what about if one changes jobs on AC-21 and then gets married and later wants to file 485 for wife?
Is anything needed from the old employer?

if you have applied in NSC, if you are not pushing it to move (through expedite SR or through local congressman etc), prepare to wait for close 120+ days. I am not kidding.
How long is it taking now a days to get AP approval. I am from TX and e-filed on 2nd Oct (ND 4th OCT 2010) and want to know when I can expect the approval.

Nothing to worry dude. Your wife is not out of status. Her I-94 is valid. No issues with 485.
You need to file for her extension for H4 with the new H1b so that she can continue her h4 status after sept.

Congratulations on our first BIG SUCCESS! Your efforts, time, and resources spent have paid back!
While rejoicing our victory, I remind myself that this is the first. There are still challenges for each individual and our community on the journey of legal EB immigration:
(1) How will the CIS, DOS, DHS, and FBI handle the job in the future?
(2) What will the increased fee be used for? How can we and other goverment agencies monitor the accountability?
Let's think about what's next... Will this success be the end or the beginning of our grassroot activism? Does the present move by CIS mean efficient services in the future?
Take care, enjoy the moment and plan for the future.

My cousin is and was in very good terms with employer. He talked to the manager and the HR and managed to change position but not the title(on paper). If you think your PD is light years away , you can convince your company to do the same. My cousin made sure that the HR is well aware of this in case they get an RFE. If you wish, then 6 months before you think u'll get your GC-- switch to Technical position to be safe...
All this is an issue only if you get an RFE.
There is always a risk though

Hi,
My wife and I are currently working on EAD and have used the AP to entry the US. We will be going to the Canadian consulate to apply for Canadian Visa (want to go on vacation). I had the following questions:-
1) What all papers are required?
2) How long will they issue the canadian visa for? I am planning on obtaining a multiple entry visa. When I was on H1 they issued me a visa which was till the end of my H1 expiration date.
Thanks.
Not sure about the rules now, but when I did it in 2002, it was a single entry visa for 6 months - though it is single entry - going from US is an exception - from US it is multiple entry and it costed $50 during those times.
Documents - appp form, fee, your legal status here (485, EAD etc..), bank statements and usually they ask why r u visiting Canada and you can say "tourism"

You will not have problem because of H 1 B withdrawal. For that matter, even if they revoke I-140 you will not have any problem.
But if your case is getting processed, it is possible that you get a REF asking you to provide the employment verification letter. If you can provide a valid employment verification letter at that time then you should be fine. But if you receive an interview notice instead of REF then you should also have the recent pay checks, is very important.
In any case the only issue is if USCIS finds that you are out of Job for a longer period of time then you might run into issues. So, try to get the Job as soon as possible.

Below is a decsription of this amendment from AILA document which lists all the amendments that were discussed yesterday
http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22584
It confirms that the amendment #1231 applies to Y visa only. On the Senate discussion thread yesterday when this amedment was being discussed some body mentioned something along the lines that that Sen. Kennedy said he supported employer recruitment for all jobs and that really scared me ... I think Sen. Kennedy might have been referring to jobs that require the Y visa
This amendment does not mention anything on H1Bs. There was a lot of discussion on this point yesterday. I think we can breathe a litlle easy now.
The CIR does have other restrictions on H1B like $5000 more fees, restrictions for consulting companies & non-disaplacement clause but I don't think any GC type LABOR CERTIFICATION is required.
From the aila doc:
Durbin Amendment (#1231) to Remove DOL-Determined Labor Shortages as an Exception to Y Visa Recruitment Requirements
Senator Durbin (D-IL) introduced an amendment that eliminates DOL-determined labor shortages as an exception to employer recruitment requirements for Y visas. Senator Durbin argued that the amendment is an attempt to require that jobs be offered to Americans before they are offered to Y visa holders in the new worker program. Removing the provision in the underlying bill allowing the Secretary of Labor to declare labor shortages, he said, would achieve this, since all employers who use the Y visa program would always be required to offer jobs to Americans first. Senator Durbin cited the AFL-CIO as a strong supporter of his measure. Senator Grassley (R-IA), a co-sponsor of the amendment, also expressed his support for the amendment.
Senator Specter argued in response that this amendment is simply unnecessary, since American workers and their wages are already protected under the law. Senator Kennedy, however, expressed support for the amendment. He agreed with the general principle that a measure protecting American workers is good for the country. Ensuring that new Y visa workers don’t encroach upon American jobs or affect American wages, he said, is a step in that direction.
The amendment was agreed to by a vote of 71-22.
