COBRA is a good option but I know its crazy expensive. They also have a high deductible plan. If your friend does not have kids (or even if he does) you could opt for HD plan - their premiums are much lower (< $500 for family). eg. for a doctors visit, under normal plan he would be paying 40$ copay and insurance would pay in-network negotiated rate of say $120. With HD plan he would need to pay $120 for doctors visit until he reaches deductible of $6k for the year. Not a bad option if you are healthy individual - covers you well in worst case scenario... Ask your family doctor in india to send you imp drugs, antibiotics etc etc. Within 100$ you can cover all medicine expenses...
If you need any help on that send me a PM.

Hello, I have read about the 485 180 days rule and how one can use AC21 after 180 days have elapsed. But if one loses their job a 2 mths before the 180 days are over, is there a possibility of continuing the 485?
- Can one be unemployed and just wait out the 180 days before invoking AC21?
- Can one transfer to another employer on H1 (but let USCIS know after 180 days have elapsed)?

There is tons of info on IV's Forums itself. But I think here are key things you might think about :
Same / similar Job desc and Title. Most companies would do some thing like change duties to fit your needs i would make sure of this to be on safe side and also base NOC code as in GC labor. Min things to be considered to be safe. Check with your attorney we all post only what we might see which might not be 100% certain always ...
I had AOS though company A and holding my H1 which is expire in July 2010.
I was interviewed by financial client B for contract to hire postion. I already joining them on 31st March as consultant and at after 2 months end need to convert in fulltime. This job attracts me because of never thinked pay scale and benifits in my life. Company B has record that no one leave them in last 9 years. Or never they lay off anyone.
I told client B that I can work on EAD but HR Manager wants me to transfer my H1 in company B.
JOB work is not same, My AOS based on server administartor and in financial client I am goign to do desktop management.
Is this something right approch to transfer h1b? Will company A can create any problem for my GC process? I already passed 180 days for pending AOS. Another thing is my wife has already used her EAD from h1 and working as fulltime. she is my derivative applicant.

HI Folks
The reason for this post is as usual- too much confusion and no clear answers. i read on oh law firm that if you are not in a non-immigrant status i.e are working on EAD, there should be no gap in your EAD while you are working. Meanin you should stop working if your current EAD expires and your new EAD is pending- otherwise its a violation of law and provisions of 245 do not protect you because technically you are NOT a non-immigrant.
Is that true?????
Now, i recently had to go to India for an emergency, and had to come back on AP- did not have time to get my H1b visa stamped. I asked at the immigration counter if my H1b is invalidated and he told me it is. I spoke to my lawyer and she told me if you resume your H1b employment with the same employer- you are back in status- i kinda did not buy that though.
Can someone please shed light. My concern is that my EAD is expired- new one is pinding. Although i was on h1b when i left for India, but came back using AP. Am i breaking a law by working??
thanks

Sanju, I hope you were right but they are talking about immigrants in totality (legal and illegal) . Unfortunately with the bad economy and job market this fire might be heading our way i.e. legal EB guys. (I hope I'm wrong)
fueling the fire, but they better make sure the fire drivesoff the right monsters , the illegals.

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
There has been a lot of talk recently about what might be included in an immigration reform bill. Will there be a legalization/amnesty/forgiveness of "lawbreakers" rule? Will there be an expansion of employment based and family based immigrant visa numbers to solve the economically devastating backlogs we currently deal with? Will there be a mandatory E-Verify component? Will there be an interior enforcement focus? Will there be even more fences?
The topic that seems to be lost in all this speculation is something I consider to be the overriding component of reform--the Key to holding a reform package together. I am speaking, of course, of Due Process Restoration. Anyone who deals with immigrants for any length of time is intimately familiar with the disaster that is our immigration enforcement system. It is not just that previous administrations have done a horrific job at the enforcement that should have been taking place, but rather, the missing component to that enforcement. When is the last time an ICE officer worried about Due Process considerations? What is really destroying immigrant families--how about 212(a)(9)(B) and (C)? What about the concept of "civil" detention in real jails with real criminals for non-criminal immigrants? What about the detention of Asylum Seekers? What about the ludicrous requirements of REAL ID for asylum seekers?
These are all only a few of the regular violations of concepts most American hold sacred. When you tell the 'average' American about the system immigrants actually have to deal with, most are appropriately appalled. It is to those Americans that we must speak. I believe that if Senator Schumer has the courage to include Due Process Restoration in his "Comprehensive" immigration reform bill, it will be tragically necessary for us to defend these Due Process provisions of the reform package.
Take a look at this video, and sign up to support including Due Process Restoration in a comprehensive immigration reform bill.

IVians,
Wondering if anyone on this forum at had applied for unemployment benefits in the state PA. My wife who has a dependent AOS pending wnats to file the claim and see if it gets approved.
on PA state Govt. website, it is asking for the Alien registration number(A#?) if the person is not a US citizen.Is it o.k to provide the A# ?? Also, since my spouse worked on 1099-Misc for a while,we don't think they are going to accept our Applictaion to provide unemployment benefits. But we just gonna try and see...
Please advise?
Have you done any homework before asking these questions? Have you called the unemployment office to inquire about her eligibility?
To answer your question,
Yes, it is OK to provide A#. Without the A# they will not be able to check on her immigration status.
You would qualify for Unemployment in PA as long as there is a pending green card application.
Offcourse the applicant should have earned income in the previous year to qualify.
I would highly advise you to contact the unemployement office in your local city and explain your situation and get their advise.

Hi guys,
I have the following clarification:
Earlier, I was working with Employer A and came to US after getting H1-B stamped.
Subsequently, my spouse has got her H4 visa stamped.
So, both of our visas are valid till 30th Sept 2007. My wife joined me in December 2005.
Then I changed my employer in April 2006, where I got my I-129 approved from Employer B.
In the meantime, my wife/spouse went to India in April 2006 & came back to US using old visa on July 15th 2006.
At port of Entry she got I-94 valid till 30th Sept 2007 (validity date of the old visa A)
I never got her I-94/H4 using the new I-129 from Employer B (Current Employer).
On July 3rd, I submitted my I-485 AOS for both of us.
I have the following question:
1. Is her I-94 still valid based on the old visa ?
2. Will there be any issues for not filing for H4 visa till now, even though I am planning to
apply right away as her I-94 is getting expired on 30th Sept 2007.
3. Is she out of Status as I left the old employer more than 180 days ago.
4. Will she have any issues as far as AOS is concerned.
Your valuable views will be highly appreciated.

USCIS will consider only your qualifications and experience only at the time of applying for labor against the jobs requirements. You dont have to update USCIS with your latest qualifications.

What if the case is where I want to take up a new full time position and convert my current full time position to part time.....I guess one way to do it would be to transfer H1 to the new employer...wait for an approval and then file for another concurrent H1 for the part time job with the old company..But the problem is I'd have to wait until new approval comes...and also convince both companies to shell out 2k plus in filing fees....does any one have a better alternative ? Thanks again

Hi,
My NIW/I-140 application has been pending for a year. During this time, I have more qualifications added to my resume. Is there a mechanism to send my updated resume or should I just let it be?
Thanks.
They asked me to send additional evidence in support of my NIW petition. I'd say just wait for them to ask you anything that they require to justify NIW.

Can any answer this question or put our thoughts on this?
Now all EB categories being current most of us are applying for 485 so how does the Approval process work?
Is it the first come first out or
It depends on the Priority Date?
