unemployment because I don't have green card
I've been waiting for a job opportunity for almost three months. While I was completing onboard tasks, HR required me to offer a copy of my green card. It was lost while delivered, I don't even have a copy of it. Yesterday I just took my fingerprints and didn't see any update online. I tried to ask Emma to expedite the process but failed. I am so depressed I may lose the job offer. I tried to ask if I could offer my passport with a stamp I-551 but denied. What else I can do? I really need the job.😞
F1b visa interview
I have stayed in US in the past on H4 visa for 6 years and unfortunately my husband passed away and I moved back to India. I couldn't use the time to pursue my masters when I was in US as I had to take care of husband's health issues. I also have undergone 2 major surgeries. Now I want to do my masters and applied for f1 visa. It got rejected on the basis of potential immigrant. My daughter is born in USA. I have reapplied for f1 visa again. when I go for visa interview, can I ask the visa officer 'my situation is little different and given a chance, I would like to justify why I want to do my masters now and I will not take more than a minute' and if they yes. Can I explain my past. Is requesting allowed? Currently I am working in my home country and I have approved sabbatical leave for higher studies.
Multiple job change AC21 job portability
Hi,
Looking for answers on I485J form.
here is my situation
1. my current employer changed my job title using AC21 job portability, as my I485 is pending more than 180 days. Current employer amended my H1B for title change. Also they will provide I485J for the interview.
2. I want to change my employer. New employer wants to transfer my H1B and file I485J after I join.
3. Should I ask my current employer to submit I485J before quitting?
4. Do I need to wait for I485J approval before changing employer?
H1B salary is higher than offered commissions for this job
My employer has offered me 90k salary with benefits, he filed H1B LCA at higher salary 100k plus. Now employer is asking me to pay them back owed money. Is it legal? Employer never informed me that I would have to pay them money back if I don’t make enough money as per the commissions bonuses to match with LCA wages.
What should I do? They abusing me and now asking to pay them back 20,000$.#h1b #employment #wage #legal
How valid are the contracts which you sign with some employers who help you with the placement?
Hi everyone,
I am currently working with an employer under OPT and they made me sign a contract before placing me with a client with whom I currently work for. It’s been 8 months i have been working with this same client. I also received full time offer from them and i am willing to take it as they are offering me more pay with benefits. Unfortunately if i take that offer, it will be a breach of contract as it’s stated over there that i can not take any full time offer with their client. I needed to know if these kind of contracts are even valid? What happens if i breach that? What can i do in this case? Has anyone faced similar situation then please share your experience on how you dealt with it.
I appreciate your help/guidance on this!

H1 B- Switching Jobs After EAD-Employment Based ? 1 Year ??
Hi Guys,
I have this query. How soon can one change jobs after getting i765 approved ? I'm asking this for my husband, currently on H1B. Yet to receive GC. Read in many articles that it's best stay for a Year Atleast after receiving GC, so there's not much trouble with the Citizenship processing. Is this true ? His work is really frustrating and he would like to change.
AC21 Job portability
I filed I-485 concurrently with EB2 to EB3 downgrade in october 2020.
My I-485 is pending 180+ days
My EB3 I-140 is approved in sept 2021.
I want to change my employer now, with same role as current employer.
is there any risk of invoking AC21 job portability rule?
Can my current employer withdraw I-140? will that cause revokation of I-140? Can withdrawal cause I-485 denial?

When to start applying to jobs?
I’m currently working in NYC at my current employer on an L1-A. I’m ready leave and start a new career. Estimating when I will get my EAD I think I should start recruiting around September given the process could take months. Is that too early? Thanks!

Unemployment Benefits w/pending EAD
Hi everyone. My wife lost unemployment benefits as her L2-EAD expired in late April. We’ve filed our renewal process on Feb 26th - so far without any major updates on this process.
Concrete question is, will she be able to apply retroactively for weeks she did not get unemployment benefits?
Thank you!
