If you are on H1 and switch to another H1- you do not need to worry about Cap
If you are on H1 and switch to EAD- you have relinquished your H1.Whenever you wish to resume your H1- at that time you will go against the Cap.
Hope this clarifies
What about if one comes back on AP and hence has to use EAD but also has a valid H1 approval ( but no stamping in the passport ) . Can they go back and use that H1 approval for stamping and come back on H1 ? They are still working for the same company which sponsered the H1 and the GC

I disagree based on the following:
note the "and" between (a) and (b) and note point (a) which states that a pending 485 is necessary for an alien to change jobs
....
You can port your PD based on your approved 140 even if your 485 has not been filed. I think someone had posted a FAQ from Rajeev Khanna's site which specifically said its allowed. Also, the same is available on Murthy's site too. And Finally, I've talked to three lawyers in the last one year and each one of them agreed that this can be done.

It just means somebody touched the case. The case is still at NSC.
What is your PD? Are you current?
Hello,
My 485 status online just changed today. Here's the new message:
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.
The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done, counting from when USCIS received it. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. To receive e-mail updates, follow the link below to register.
--------
The previous message said that "my case was transfered from CA to NSC on Sept 12th 2007". I had been seeing the previous message for the past 9 months. Anyone knows what the new message means?
Coincidentally, I had called today and spoke with an IO to check on the status of my 485. He said that within 30-60 days it should get assigned to an officer. Would this have any bearing on the new status message? I see an LUD with today's date.
Thanks much for any help,
Kunal

I had similar issue with my spouse H4, then I applied her H4 again before the I-94 expires on the pass port. In my case (h4) costed only $200, I didn't wanted to take a chance then applied and got the extension. If you want to safeguard your status, you better apply for H1 extension, if it is really expiring they will extend your H1 otherwise they might return saying you cannot apply for extension prior to 6 month of expiring.
So decide yourself, don;t ask peoples opinion too many times, you always get mixed results.
NOTE: according to my employer, I-94 given at the POE super seeds all the other form of I-94.
I visited my local USCIS office and the officer told me that they don't do I-94 updates and asked me to contact the CBP office. When I called them up to get an appointment, I got transferred to a lady who asked me the details. After listening to my case she said its perfectly okay and asked me to attach the new I-94 from the 797 to the passport. Is this true?
I am trying to get hold my lawyer but in vain. Please help!!!

My college got his I140 approved just in 2 months with normal processing. He filed in EB2-I. Mine was also approved last year in 2 months in EB2-I. Does the location from where are you applying affect processing time?
Not necessarily , But it does depends on what is load of work at a given time at given location. TCS was ahead of NSC last year but they shifted workload from NSC to TCS so now TCS is little behind. But once TCS cleans up all files it can go ahead. Processing dates are nothing but indication for when to open a Service Request at local office. If your case is behind that date you can open SR.For straight forward cases approvals comes fast. For those who are stuck they should monitor Processing time and see if their app is lagging behind proc time. They should contact USCIS.

I am in the same Boat. My PD is May 26 2004. Mine and my wife's case was transffered to Des Moines Iowa on March 19th 2008 and says its for additional processing. I applied for EAD renewal on June 11th and no approvals yet. I called uscis and they say that my ead would not be approved until the additional processing on my 485 is completed.. I am guessing it would be an interview.
Not necessarily in the same boat, although in the same pond.. :) In your case if the email says 'additional"processing and clearly indicates the DEs Moines office then it might very well be for an interview. In the case of ABH though all it says is that it was transferred to a USCIS office for "standard" processing, which could be as simple as USCIS mailing the packets from CSC to NSC.

I spoke to our immigration lawyer today.
He said that entering on h1 while I have a pending 485 does not affect the 485 in anyway.
He advised that I enter on h1 even if I have the AP.

I think the new name check change, will help the system work FIFO.
This is what the system is intended to do.
Also, as time goes by, this will make the PD more transparent, so instead of having dreams and making wild guesses, there can be somewhat logical guessing.
I know it is not possible as it is USCIS and anything can be true.
But i am really happy for people with older PD's who have been struck with FBI Name checks.
Please help IV with the letter campaign and also lets get together and try to make the system more transparent and open.
GO IV GO. TOGTHER WE CAN.
But even with primitive PD's if visa nos are not available, things will still be the same. What say abt 6 yr old pd's in EB2...namecheck removal doesn't help!!!

Yes, this is not falling in place with their processing dates. But i think, you should be getting your approval any time. May be, have your attorney contact Vermont center for inquiry. Or you can call the customer service directly.
I filed for H-1 extension on Aug 23rd. Still not approved. Dont know why they have dates at Oct.......

HateIV,
If you think donations are a requirement to be the members, I have not paid IV a dime so far. Donating is not the only way to help IV. For example there is a call campaign, where you can call and leave a message as a fellow future immigrant. You can help IV that way. Please note that we are all here to have our collective voice heard by the USCIS and the government so that the immigration processes can be expedited. A whole lot of others come here to pose questions for their tricky or troubled situations and get help from the experienced. It seems that all you need to have is a civil tongue to not be banned. Is that tough to do? Even on a public Web site like this? What other choice do you leave to the administrators if that is the case?
So, please be a good samaritan and try to help others if you can OR get help from others. Otherwise, I don't see a point in being a member here.

techy2468 same here. i had deleted part of my last post even before u replied because i felt it was going off topic.
"post office monthly income scheme" - that is good info i will definitely check on that.
In short as long as a person is on H1B he is no better than his indian counter part working in a multinational or maybe he is worse, atleast person in india is close to family ,spouse can work anywhere etc etc.
So the sooner the person gets GC the faster he has made his efforts worthwile - otherwise he will find his story similar to what sai posted in first article of this thread.

Alternatively, IV can find you a spouse to get married ASAP. Just kidding.

Fuzzy, you are scaring single people by using spouse, married and kid(ing) in one and a half sentence :p
I second manoj's demand, we need representation. Power to single members of IV, let our issues be heard. This will help resolve the H4 dependent issue. Since future IVer would both be on H1-b. Thanks to this idea :D

Don't worry there is no copyright for this text :)

<<If you already have your Green Card, please forward this email to those who are stuck in the GC retrogression mess. >>>
However, if you are like me and are stuck in USCIS retrogression, then you surely want to become a member of "Immigration Voice (IV)".
IV has a team who is lobbying for you and me. The Membership is free. Currently, we only have 5851 members in IV, while almost 300,000 people are stuck in the retrogression. IV needs to show a large member base to communicate their voice to the Senators and Congressmen. If you don't stand up for it, who will??
So if you want something to happen within the US legislation/Immigration policies in the near future, please join hands with IV.
Remember, there is Power in Unity!!!
So please become a member at http://www.immigrationvoice.org/ Time is flying, please don't delay!

More H1-B workers in the labor pool and in GC Line ...so more outsourcing openings for Indian Companies ...:)
Adding more H1B is what every employer aspires. They don't want you to get GC soon enough so that you leave them for better prospects.
No one is going to raise the GC backlog issue. Is there a way by which the we can also ensure that companies also stress on reducing the backlogs in EB categories and re-capturing past immigrants visa as a interim relief as they lobbied for increasing H1-B caps
