You can apply from your Wife's company for that You will be dependent and her's will be primary.
When submitting you need to enter Alien numbers obtained from the first filing.
The critical part of applying like this is both the I 485 receipts SHOULD get same A# associated.
Once one 485 is approved USCIS will cancel the other or you can write th service center where pending I 485 is to cancel with all related details.,
HAVING MORE OPTIONS IS ALWAYS BETTER!!

Here is the problem with your case, in my view.
You can use AC21 after 180 days provided that (1) The underlying I-140 has been approved or (2) The underlying I-140 is otherwise APPROVABLE at the time of adjudication.
In your case when you filed for a new I-140 from Company B, it is still pending. Your argument of using I-140 from Company A, COULD make the underlying I-140 from Company B unapprovable, which will also be the case incase Company B withdraws the I-140 petition, prior to adjudication.
If this happens then the I-485 petition will be invalid because the underlying I-140 (from Company B) is not approvable. It will be a long time before you really know this, depending on when they adjudicate your I-485.
Then the only recourse left for you would be to file a NEW I-485 using the I-140 from Company A. Looking at the current PD trend, this could be years before you are even able to file.
As for what ItIsNOTFunny says, about I-485 being your personal application, and not company's, this is true but always remember that I-485 is very closely tied to the I-140 supporting documentation (Bfeore 180 days and especially if it not yet approved)
If I was you, I agree with other people are suggesting, if you want to keep your 485 application in process, you should try to wait it out till the I-140 from Company B gets approved. But again, everyone's personal situtation is different, so this is just a suggestion.
PM me if you need more help.

The per country limit for countries is 7% and for dependency is 2% . I am not sure what the exact definition of dependency is. The FAM manual lists dependencies. Greenland is listed as a dependency.
Greenland became an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark in 1953.
Greenland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland)

If Greenland which is a part of Denmark can be listed as a dependecy be classified as dependencies and given their 2% share each why cannot Union Territories of India i.e. Union Territories:
Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Chandigarh
Dadra and Nagar Haveli
Daman and Diu
Lakshadweep
National Capital Territory of Delhi
Puducherry
So which union territory of India you were born in? ;)

Who are the guys making more than 250K? Why are they stuck in retrogression?
I am assuming that if you are salaried employee and making more than 250K, you should be at executive level qualified for EB1 visa - which is current for all countries.

Hey
If I remember correctly (read somewhere on this forum) the strategy should be that you take a infopass appointment on the same day as your finger
printing appointment, talk to the immigration officer and ask him about your wife's FP appointment. If it was indeed sent out and you havent received it he can give you some kind of a receipt(?) and both of you can have the FP done on the same date.

Something is not linked right and may be due to some upgrade USCIS were doing in last few months. Not Sure!!!

Hi,
I have posted the same issue in another thread but i did not get any response So I'm changing the title and reposting.
I have been working for my current employer from last 4 years.I have good relations with my employer.I have 140 approved and my 485 is pending for more than 180 days.Now I want to join any new employer using my EAD.But I don't want to invoke AC 21.If my dates are current again and if i get any RFE I will submit the offer letter from my old employer.
My case is I'm using EAD after 140 is approved and 485 is pending more than 180 days and joining a new employer.As GC is future employment I can always say that I will join my old employer when ever i get a GC.This way I can avoid AC 21. Also If my employer doesn't give me the offer letter I can still manage to get it from any Consulting firm with same job title and same salary.
Can any one suggest me on this?
Thanks
h12gc
If you are working for A, but respond to a RFE with an offer letter from B - for whom you have no intention of working - then you are breaking the law.
Your job with A should be similar to your Labor job and you should respond to any RFE with a copy of your offer letter from A.

Searching in Google, the good way | Code Purity (http://blog.code-purity.com/archives/2009/7/24/searching_in_google_the_good/)
There are huge set of techniques by which searching in Google can be done more accurately, and here is a list of them that I frequently use.
1. Whenever we search for more than one keyword (i.e. computer programming, here we use 2 key word. a) computer b) programming) at a time Google will handle this keyword using a method called Boolean Default. Google's Boolean default is AND; that means if we enter query words without modifiers, Google will search for all of them. If we search for:
computer programming
Google will search for all the words. If we want to specify that either word is acceptable, we can put an OR between each item:
computer OR programming
If we want to exclude a query item from search results, use a -.(minus sign or dash:
computer -programming
Note that there is no space after the (-) sign.
2. To search for a phrase use "" surrounding the phrase. like:
"Some Interesting Google Search Technique"
3. Period (.) and Asterisk (*) can also be used as traditionally used.
4. To search anything from a specific site use site:site_name.
google site:share-facts.blogspot.com
This will search for the term google only in the specified site. Note that there is no space after the (:) sign.
Eg: ead site:immigrationvoice.org
5. To restrict search to title of web pages we can use intitle:search_keyword
intitle:google
6. Use inurl:search_keyword to restrict search to the URLs of web pages.
inurl:google
7. To search in body text use intext:search_keyword
intext:html
8. Searches for text in a page's link anchors
inanchor:"google desktop"
9. To search for a specific filetype use filetype:desired_file_type
bangladesh filetype : pdf
10. To search a copy of the page that Google indexed even if that site/page is no longer available at its original URL or has since changed its content completely. This is particularly useful for site/pages that change often.

Yes, you can keep EAD and H1 at same time..
As far as I know, you can keep H1 and EAD. However, you can only use one or the other for the same job with the same employer. In other words, if you use EAD (by submitting I-9 with the employer) then your H1 is automatically invalid. However, if you never file I-9 with the employer, you can keep EAD.
Some have also said that you can use your EAD for a second job (say part time consulting on the side), while still using your H1 for the original job. But I not sure about this part. So, please do not take my word on it without additional research.

All,
I think we are most close to H-1B process and thus we should be one who should propose changes to H-1B program to congress so that they can make program more fair and transparent to all. I suggest the following changes. I think IV core should take this up with senator/house representative.
H1-B improvements:
1) Instead of visa becoming available once every year (1 October), make visa � of the visa quota available every quarter and one can apply for visa in any given quarter on any day of the quarter or 10 days before the start of the quarter. Unused visas of preceding quarter are added to the next quarter.
2) Remove lottery system of awarding visa. In stead use the following method:
a. Until the first day of quarter, all applications for that quarter is accepted (first day of the quarter not included). Visa availability decision is made on first day of the quarter and then every first day of the week of that quarter. Let call these days �visa count day (VCD)�.
b. If number of application received between to consecutive �visa count day� or before the first VCD is less then number of available visas, all those applications are assigned available visas. Available visa count is reduced by number of applications with assigned visas.
c. No application is accepted if it was received on or after the VCD AND it was determine on that VCD that sufficient visas are not available for applications received between preceding VCD and the current VCD (or 10 days if VCD is the start of the quarter). Call this VCD �cut-off VCD� and immediate week (or 10 days if this is first VCD) preceding it �cut-off period (CP)�
d. The application received is CP is assigned available visa as follows:
i. Create the pool of all the employers who have applied in CP and still have H-1B application requiring new visa.
ii. Start with an employer playing highest salary to the H-1B applicant and assigned one visa to that application. Remove this employer for the pool. Move on to next highest paying employer in the pool and assigned one visa to that application.
iii. Continue doing point two (ii) until all visas are exhausted or there are no more employers in the pool. In later case, again create employer pool as stated in point one (i) and repeat the process.
3) Special clause for consulting position: If application for H-1B visa requires consulting work, following is required:
a. New LCA is required every year and when consultant changes the client.
b. New LCA must be based on the client�s job and experience requirement.
c. H-1B applicant must be paid based on LCA.
d. If H-1B applicant can establish significant fraud/H-1B exploitation, he/she (and any dependent) is awarded EAD immediately and he/she is eligible to apply for permanent residency without employer application. Employer is no longer eligible to apply for H-1B application and is fined $1million per fraud.
Some are good ideas. Did you think of the administrative overhead? What is the need for the special clause? It is too restrictive.
I think, in long run, increasing the cap, preventing the exploitation/ fraud, faster GC process are workable solutions. I sometimes hear that some companies bring L1B holders and place them as consultants ( a clear violation of L1 visa)..That is the area lawmakers should really drill more. L1 is clearly exploited, it is used like a virtual back door with no cap limits.

Hi All,
I received an RFE based on my qualification and the Job requirement qualification.
While applying for PERM, in the ETA 9089 form, Attorney mistakenly listed as below
1. Accepted / Required Bachelors Degree for the Posted Job:
Computer Science, Mathematics (Instead of Mathematics, it should have been Engineering)
2. Any Other Alternate Degree accepted:
NO
And in my profile, he listed the degree as ENGINEERING.
Now during the I-140 stage, i got an RFE based on this mismatch. Here is the verbiage.
The USCIS is requesting evidence that the beneficiary obtained a Bachelor�s Degree in Computer Science or Mathematics, OR evidence that the degree obtained was part of the Computer Science or Mathematics program/department.
MY Attorney Suggested 2 things.
1. Get my degree transcripts evaluated by a third party educational evaluator and equate the courses i have done (7 Computer Courses and 9 Mathematics courses) as part of Computer Science / Mathematics Degree.
2. Get an verification letter from the University that these courses are infact related to Computer Science / Mathematics Degree.
Please let me know if i stand any chance with these 2 options.

My experience says dont worry unless someone else comes back and say they had issues with different A#s on 140 and 485. I had applied for EAD and AP on the A# of 485 and was approved. Finally my GC has the A# on 485.
Eventually it is your call.

I came to Montreal for H1/H4 stamping for my wife and two sons. My interview date was 3/18 and they told me it will take abt. 10 days and now its almost over 20 days and no news from them. I am EB3-PD 8/03-I-140/EAD Approved. FP also done. Can you pls. let me know if they asked you any questions or you had any comunication with them after your interview? In my case they kept all our passports, Originals of our H1/H4/EAD approvals/Letter from the employer also.
I had also done the stamping from Toronto in 2005 without any problem. Is this a PIMS related issue?
ramesh
Sorry to hear you're being held for so long. My case involved Mumbai consulate, I waited for slightly more than a month and then travelled back to the US on the AP.
During the interview when I was in India the CO did not ask me any questions related to my immigrant visa/485/EAD etc. I still dont know why it took so long for them to do the processing, security clearance, PIMS, TAL, anything is my guess.
Although I am baffled that they kept your passport, I thought the passport belongs to you and the Indian government and they can't keep it for so long even though lots of consulates do that. Thankfully mumbai consulate did not take my passport so I had the option to travel back.
And why would you give them any originals related to your green card like EAD ? That has no connection with your H1B visa stamping. If you have a valid AP then you should just travel back on it, and when they email you saying that your visa is ready for stamping travel back(If the canadian consulate isn't too far from where you live in US). I dont have that option, India is too far and expensive for me to travel especially after a recent trip.

Sorry to hear you're being held for so long. My case involved Mumbai consulate, I waited for slightly more than a month and then travelled back to the US on the AP.
During the interview when I was in India the CO did not ask me any questions related to my immigrant visa/485/EAD etc. I still dont know why it took so long for them to do the processing, security clearance, PIMS, TAL, anything is my guess.
Although I am baffled that they kept your passport, I thought the passport belongs to you and the Indian government and they can't keep it for so long even though lots of consulates do that. Thankfully mumbai consulate did not take my passport so I had the option to travel back.
And why would you give them any originals related to your green card like EAD ? That has no connection with your H1B visa stamping. If you have a valid AP then you should just travel back on it, and when they email you saying that your visa is ready for stamping travel back(If the canadian consulate isn't too far from where you live in US). I dont have that option, India is too far and expensive for me to travel especially after a recent trip.
