Also not wasting further time i would like some info which is purely based on my discretion, but suggestion is well appreciated from u end. I would be ogliged if any1 of u can guide me through the process. Im trying frantically to post this as a new thread but in vain. Just drive to Canada and fly back in, using AP, and say that you were not even here for last many years -) How about that? If not, try to check if you have a valid I-131 (advance parole). Try to find out if you have a valid EAD card and that should help to reply the RFE. If you did, that could be the posible reason why the paralegal recommended you for not applying extension of H1. Please help!ĭid you apply for I-765 (EAD card) along with your I-485 application.
How to respond my RFE? Would they forgive 11 months of working without permit because of bad advice? I have a 9 year history of keeping my papers legal and up to date until this incident. Today I got a RFE requesting proof of authorization to work since my h-1 expired, and realized I couldn't be working when I hired a real lawyer to take care of this case and she informed me so. I applied for an I-485 in 2007 (I-140 approved) and my paralegal told me I didn't need to renew my H-1 nor apply for EA, I was covered by the pending I-485. I just found out that I have an employment gap of 11 months working without authorization. Our programmer friends on the forum know this how difficult it is to fix a program that is too slow and buggy!! We really need everyone to support us and contribute so that we can invest more in lobbying efforts if we need to try and get some relief. The least this community can do is not criticize the core team and take out their frustration on us.
We are also like you and are trying our best within limited resources and time.
You can get information from your state chapter if you have any doubts. Please do not underestimate the effort of the core team just because we do not post everything we do on the public forum. Wish the problems were very simple to solve. In fact there was a meeting with USCIS director too in the recent past. We have had meetings with USCIS, DOS in the past. Why cant USCIS be more efficient and transparent from the beginning but I guess the core doesn't think its important enough right now. but what will happen in 2012 ? I assume another recapture bill would have to be passed to recapture the recaptured visas. Why wait for all these bills to get passed to recapture visas and stuff like that when the ideal solution would be to make USCIS more efficient. I don't think the core is even bothered to take up on issues like this where USCIS operations is concerned. Is that so? Am I really required to wait like this months/years long if it takes that long for my employer to settle his matter with vendor? Can an employer actually follow these kind of practice? Please provide your experienced advises.Īlso kindly let me know how can I proceed if I want to file a DOL complaint? cant you find a new employer? once you do that, immediately transfer your H1 and also meanwhile file a case against this current employer. But my employer threatens that I will have no case. My friends advised me to take this issue to Court or DOL. As a result, now he is denying me MY remaining pay!! I already waited for 4 months now, and can NOT take this strain anymore. But now he learnt that he might have to go to court about the vendor. Just recently only after much trouble he released part of the amount. Vendor has been giving him troubles as regards my pay, so my employer made me wait frustratingly for months to give me pay. At the time, my employer agreed on paper to give me a specified amount but only after the vendor pays.
