I don't think it is true. My lawyer said using AP will not invalidate H1B.
I have seen many people saying they came through AP and extended H1B , some even 3 times.
Anyway, I am travelling outside and planning to use my AP while coming back. I will post a message if I come through H1B
Application vs. Use of EAD or Advance Parole:
Applying for and obtaining approval of EAD or Advance Parole does not affect the 485 applicant's "nonimmigrant status" including H and L. However, once the alien starts work using an EAD or travels on Advance Parole, the alien is considered no longer in a nonimmigrant status including H and L.
I didn't know if we use AP we loose H1, any comments Seniors?

What takes priority in life? Time with family or getting stuck in the GC mill.
I find it disheartening that a senior member like you would advice someone on foregoing their pleasure trip and donating to IV. Would you be willing to cancel all your pleasure trips/family outings to donate money to IV? If you do, i feel sorry for your family.
Please donate that extra money meant for leisure to IV instead going to Bahama this year.

I agree that car depreciates as soon as you drive out the showroom but what I believe is that if you can afford to buy your dream car and plan to keep it for atleast 7-10 years go for it. Life is short, if you can enjoy luxury and at the same time know your limits don't restrict yourself and drive used cars all your life.
As far as your home mortage is concerned, talk to your banker and negotiate favorable terms. If you plan to live in that city depending on job market, don't worry about home prices. I hope you did not buy that home to make money overnite but to enjoy the luxury of living and owing a home. In any case, don't plan to put money on home, better to save or invest where it makes more sense like stocks, CD's or land/home in India.
I donot see any point in paying off the house, as you can deduct the interest to get some tax benefits. Why loose any benefit you can get.
On the other hand, use the money you were thinking of paying off the home for investments. Investments may it be CDs or stocks ( though right will come in future).
Although personally i have never bought a brand new car in US. Car depreciation is biggest loss one can take; we just bought a 5 th car...all cash paid and it is used.
Keep your cash, play with 20-30% based on your risk apt, donot pay off your home...cash is king.
On your comment of " being a novice in financial "...i have to say it Everyone is a novice in every matter, we all learn it here. Rather one who says he/she is a novice will make cautious decisions; i am wary of so called experts/gurus who mauled financial markets and still call themselves experts.
Start reading finance articles, blogs and you will be able to understand.

We cannot predict the future but we can predict with some given statistics!
If people who got their AP from NSC could just menion how long it took for them to receive ap document it would be statistical and we can there upon make some judgements !!
Noone is asking for exact dates from USCIS. We are all still very much in a limbo and this is just for getting some heads up!!
TSC is taking about three months. Mine took three months and I applied on July 2nd to TSC. So, my guess is statistically, at least 3+ months for NSC, since they will be concentrating on sending out EAD's.
But, I leave it to others to give specific numbers.

Also there could be election year effect because most of the resources at NSC are directed to work on Naturalization cases but why to single out just EB3 cases ? Didn't they have sufficient approved EB2 140 at hand to give them a 485 ?
I never imagined being stuck for 15 months for a 140 - at the most 9-12 months was my worst case analysis. My plans of porting from Eb3 to Eb2 got ruined , job change AC21 all preparations went haywire. I've already renewed EAD card once but can't use it confidently unless this Eb3 140 is approved .
How come EB3 at TSC is going smoothly - didn't they get the directive like NSC to stop working on EB3 140 's ?
....................
But here is something very interesting I just noticed from the list. A bunch of the approvals for July 2007 filers occurred during Jan-Feb 2008, but after that NOTHING!! I can only speculate that under some directive, they were ordered not to touch our cases after that timeframe. I *think* it was because they wanted to use up the EB2 visas, so they only worked on that moving forward, that's why ~ 80% of July-Aug EB2 140's have been processed so far.
But again I reiterate, many of us will see the silver lining & feel the sunshine this year .................

Hello there
YES you can convert into EB2. If I were you and get some offer to convert into Eb2 I would do it. Eb3 is not going to move until Eb2 will become C. and chances are that Eb2 India may become C in next 2 years if same rate labor get approve. If you go on convert route. lets assume that labor takes 18 months and I 140 takes 6 months. that is 24 month it self. Now after 2 years your case can be current but if you stick on Eb3 then after 2 years it will start from 2002. So if your PD is in 2004 then you may need another 2-3 years for that.
So bottom line is you need to find some one who has job opening in Eb2 and ready to file for you. Which is very rare opportunity in given environment. almost like a winning a lottery with 10k prize.

Laid off 6weeks back. Attended 4 interviews. Outof luck.
I used to get many calls from desi consultants. But not now. I do not know whether it is because of economy or my EAD status.
.
Aren't you worried that this unemployment might affect your I485 approval.

And Code 1 means red alert uh
Code 1 = if you applied EAD only (Index Fingers + Photo)
Code 2 = if you applied I-485 only (All Fingers only - FBI Name Check)
Code 3 = if you applied I=485 + EAD
I may have code 1 & 2 reversed :-) But thats the overall concept...

Hello Everybody,
Due to budget restrictions, I may be getting laid off from my company soon. I have filed for I-485 and have received EAD. I am currently on H1B. I have a citizen friend who runs his own company. He has no employees. He does pretty much all work by him self or get it done by hiring outsouced help whenever needed. He has a legitimate company - but he does not have big revenue (May be 100K/ year). Would it be okay if I join his company on EAD to get my GC going or should I look for a firm that employs lot of people and has sizable revenues. What (if any) are any risks?
Thank you.
Some scenarios to consider
1. If 140 is approved and its been 6 months since date of 485 application and your company who sponsored is not revoking 140, then ability to pay might not matter and you don't care since you can use AC21
2. If 140 is approved and it has not been 6 months since 485 application date and you are on good terms with and your employer is not going to revoke your 140 , take an unpaid vacation to fill the 6 months gap if you can, then you are still safe to use AC21.
3. If your 140 is not approved but you have passed the 180 days litmus test and you use AC21 to move to another employer then the ability to pay might come in to picture if any RFE is done by USCIS.
4. If 140 is not approved and you have not passed 180 days its a variation of the 2nd case and if you can pull it off you can use AC21 and work elsewhere later.
there might be other scenarios but consider each of them carefully before making the decision. While it might seem a simple decision having come so far in your journey you don't want to make as wrong decision only to rue it.
- good luck

Thanks for advice. Yes my last M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the USA.
Could you please clarify what "find out NIW holders in your / related engg field"? How can I find out?
Do you believe EB2-NIW is easier than EB1-OR?
Thank you,
John
Your situation is slightly different than many I have come across. If your qualifications, research work, project etc have unique qualities, then you may still have a fighting chance. But you may have to do a lot of homework: find out NIW holders in your / related engg field, ask a few lawyers: do not believe right away if somebody promises they could, try to enroll in as many professional associations as possible, enlarge your skill portfolio etc.
BTW, is any degree of you from US?

I guess you are in the tri state chapter - you can see for yourself, how many members are active and how many are not. I am also just like you all - the core trusts me to be a chapter lead and I do want to do what best I can - I will be very happy if more and more people come forward and carry things forward.

Hi,
I am tracking the delays, RFE's, Infopass Information in the thread called
(EAD -RENEWAL-UPDATES-TRACKING-DELAYS).
I am doing this because IV has asked me to do it and they want to help its members
in getting their EAD's in (70-90)days.
If you read my first post on the thread (EAD -RENEWAL-UPDATES-TRACKING-DELAYS). you will have a better picture.
I request you to enter your information on that thread so IV can get a better picture.
Thanks for your cooperation.
