Hi Nayekal,
I am in the same situation as you. My wife's employment is expected to end in the Middle of March.
1. Is it necessary to have receipt number from I-539 in hand by the time the employment is ending or is it ok to mail the I-539 after the employment end date. I am asking this since my H1 is up for extension after April 1st. I am trying to understand whether there is any risk in applying for my wife's COS H1-H4 along with my H1 extension. In this case, there would be gap of 15 days between my wife's last working day and when I plan to send documents for my H1 extension and my wife's H1-H4 COS.
2. Also, if we change it to H4, is it the end of H1. Do we have the option of switching back to H1 at later date without having to go for a fresh H1.
Can you please share your experience.
Thanks....

In this case, there would be gap of 15 days between my wife's last working day and when I plan to send documents for my H1 extension and my wife's H1-H4 COS.
What I understood from your question is your H1 expires on End of March and you need to apply for H1 extension from Aril 1 2009. If this case, you can apply for extension right now as well. Remember, you can apply for H1 extension within 6 months of your current H1 exp date. This is what my company did for me. They applied 5 months earlier. So, when you are applying for H1 extension, you can apply for H1 to H4 for your wife. In that case, your wife status is safe and your wife will get approval for H4 with I-94 period as stated in your new H1 copy (her H4 period equal to your new H1 period).
2. Also, if we change it to H4, is it the end of H1. Do we have the option of switching back to H1 at later date without having to go for a fresh H1.
In case your wife gets a job offer later, her company can file for H1 (independent of quota) and she gets H1 for 6- whatever period she already served on H1, capped at 3 years.
Good Luck.

Anybody going to the DC Rally. We really need to lobby for change in the immigrations system. Immigrants inject a lot of wealth of capital and wealth in the US.

Need help ....
Today I receive an email from USCIS about my PERM EB2 I-140 PP application that they have have made a decision on my case. Here what it says
"On August 17, 2007, we mailed you a decision on your I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER. Please follow the instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, please contact customer service."
What does it mean? They approved my case or denied it? Any idea from gurus here. Please respond.
sorry to break the bad news to you,but this usually means a denial. My I 140 was approved recently, the online status cleared said it's approved. I read many posts on this forum who had the same online status as yours and their I 140's were denied.

I plan to transfer the priority date of an old LC to a new one. My attorney said my case won't work, since the two LCs belong to the same company and the positions (job titles) are the same. She indicates at least one of them needs be different.
I spent a whole night and cannot find any info about this.
Do you happen to know this? Any comments or links would be appreciated.

It looks like we are a bunch of folks (from Texas) without any direction. Could any of IV core folks coordinate the meeting sometime next week. Make sure to invite(email) all of those who have responded to this thread.

the more important part of my question is...
"using approved 140 from an EX-employer" and using that to a get 3 yr extension when doing a h1b transfer to a new employer (who has not in anyway started a new perm labor)
H1B is always portable to new employer and if the basis of extension is pending GC application at any stage with other employer - thats perfectly fine.
What you do is, get H1B transfer to new employer and start your PERM with them ASAP so that,
either your PERM may be pending for more than a year before your H1B expires,
OR
you get new I-140 (if date current you get EAD if not you get another 3 year on H1B)
- I have done it myself in H1 7th year with pending LC so my situation was worse than your
Rule of thumb is GC for future employement so it does not matter which employer has pending application.

Thanks, this helps.
It would be helpful to know if anyone did this transition with the I-140 approval. Let us see if we get some more responses on this.

EB1 ----> EB2 ----> EB3 <---- EB4 + EB5
instead of
EB4 + EB5 ---> EB1 ----> EB2
Just for a change.

Friend,
I did google search to find email address ends with @dol.gov and did mass emailing to all of them and finally they started invetigation on my previous employer and he is now behind federal bar.
