I think you can volunteer while on H4. But, I would not recommend working "off the book" - it is illegal and can screw your GC process big time.
Some charity organization ask for the social security number even for volunteering. But, I am sure there are many who will let you work without it.
Hi,
Does anyone know if people on H4 are allowed to work unpaid? For example, can a person on an H4 visa file for an H1B visa with a start date of October 1st, 2007 but work on a volunteer basis (i.e., unpaid) at the same job while waiting for the H1B to come?
Thanks,
Andy

H-1B is approved from Oct/1/2009. Currently I should be on L-1B. As per this article, I think I can travel without jeopardizing my future status. They call it the 'Hernandez letter'. Is this true?
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_cosapp.html
Thanks..
Yes, its true. COS to H1 is not active till Oct 1st, 2009. Which means you are still on L-1B till Sep 30th, 2009. You can travel and come back to US as long as you are coming back on the same visa status you applied a COS petition from to change to H-1B, meaning re-entering on L-1B only. You can't re-enter on say a B1 visa and expect your status to be changed to H-1B on Oct 1st. Your COS petition was applied for L-1B to H-1B, so you should be on a valid L-1B status on Oct 1st for your status to be changed to H-1B. Since you are planning to come back on L-1B visa, you should be good to go. If you return on a different status, you will have to file another COS petition to change to H-1B by appending the already approved H1 petition so you wont be counted again agaisnt the H1 quota.
However, like its mentioned in the Murthy's article you quoted, the Hernandez letter is just a response to a set of questions that were asked and not a law/memo. So incase in future if this causes some doubts on your status, you can just use that letter to defend your situation but it will be upto USCIS to make the final decision. Hope this helps.

Awaiting for the response from experts, kindly help.
Appears like more complications. I think you should consult a lawyer. As per last action rule, you might have violated the H1 status, by continuly working with L1, after CIS approved the COS application. Perhps, the violation might have been reset by your fresh entry with L1. As your family is not with you, better consult an qualified attorney.

When you go for a loan against the credit card balance, there are two types.
1> 0% to 1.99% short term loan with 3% transfer fee.
2> 4.99% to 5.99% LIFE time loan with 3% transfer fee.
The key thing for both the loan is...
1> Never EVER use the credit card that you used to get the loan UNTIL you repay the loan completely..
2> When you go for the loan, ensure the balance on your card is zero. If you have a balance, ask them to pay off the balance from the loan amount and send the reminder.
3> Always pay on time at least the minimum balance. Never miss a payment. Ensure this credit card doesn't have universal default clause, meaning, if you are late on any other credit card then you are considered as late on this card.
If all the above three points are acceptable, I suggest CC loans. Otherwise, look for other options.

Right, also I believe #3 you mentioned is taken care of by the new law done b y Bama...I dont think so creditors can do that anymore..

In my case - which is little different than you since I'm actually transferring my job to a different subsidiary of the same employer with employer's blessing - attorney advised to file AC21 even though I had just received my GC. It sounds counter-intuitive but his logic behind it was as follows: USCIS will surely reject AC21 letter stating the candidate has already received GC. You can then keep this response in your file and use it to defend your case if there is any problem down the road (for example, during your citizenship processing) since you had informed USCIS and they themselves said it's not necessary. In case they do not reject your AC21 request you will still be fine since it means you invoked AC21 even though you got your GC so it should still be okay to switch before 6 months.
As always this is one attorney's personal opinion/strategy so please consult your own attorney before doing anything.

You should analyze this situation based both on what it does for your career and immigration prospects.
Let's say you accept the EB3 employment with the big company. Does that get you closer to where you want to be 5 years down the line?
Can you not find an equivalent company or another job at this consulting company that would be eligible for EB2? This would be the best of both worlds.
Life is about trade-offs. You've got to make the best choice for yourself weighing the pros and cons of the situation.
If you value your career over your GC and think this is the best you can do right now, by all means jump. Otherwise, be patient and find the combination of EB2 sponsorship at another more rewarding role.
Good luck!

I agree with the thought that with the critical mass of 10,000 and growing ppl, it is a matter of time when such political organizations contact us for support in terms of both:
1) Our ability to influence our fellow Indian American Citizens (relatives) to support an organization
2) Our ability to generate monetary support.
However, rather than such organizations approaching us, we have to be proactive in making these political organization aware of our ability to contribute. Our strenght in numbers, and our ability to influence and support has to be evident and communicated. The NY/NJ chapter is making some effort to contact our senators/congressman, but it has fallen to deaf ears.
My question is that can a senior member of IV team approach these policital parties, just like other Indian groups are approaching, and showcase our strength (support and money).
Also, are there any IV offical letter heads that can be used while faxing meeting requests to political parties.

Based on this situation, if Company does not revoke your I-140, but closes it's doors, what happens? Does that preclude that the 140 is null void?
You are now working for Company B with 3yr H1-B, and porting the old PD.
Does anybody know?

honest opinion, talk to a good lawyer about this. your case is unique so dont depend comments from us. Companies have always used the carrot and stick aproach, with GCs, its just our luck that we roll the dice with this process and how we are exploited. You can stand your ground and negotiate with your firm, to a certain extent they need you too. Your I-40 is owned by the company, so they are the ones sponsoring you. Besides your current lawyers will probably have all your papers and approvals. Our lawyer did not even give us the I 140 number as we did not file it. I guess you might need all the 140 papers when you file for 485

I agree with the posters who say that the employer is probably trying to frighten you. It is very difficult to restrict a person's right to work wherever they want - or to restrict an employer hiring whoever they want - especially in Texas. However, it is not really an immigration question. You or, ideally the client company, should see an employment lawyer here in Texas.

Think twice before you jump into mistakes. How can you survive in USA if you dont have a job.
I agree with the other post, you probably might be better in India in this economy.
Also US is becoming something else, due to the pressure from "protectionalists" and you need to wait and see what happens in an year or so. This is not 1998, it is 2009.
To answer your question, you chances for 2010 H1B is extremely low.
Though your intention is to help OP, there are certain things that need to be observed especially in this climate where there is lot of backlash against legal immigrants. We have to ensure that we do not provide any ammu to anti's with our comments.
For an employer to sponsor a foreign worker on H1B,
First of all, there needs to be a skilled worker position open and available in US and
2nd that there are no "qualified" US citizens are available to fill that position.
OP's post goes against both these conditions, Forget about the rest such as bad economy, survival etc.. as per law, Employer has to pack the H1B home if the position is knocked off with a flight ticket and a reasonable relocation.
No offense to any one but just calling for more caution as we have seen increased number of posts like these.

To force USCIS to adjudicate i-140 within 180 days or 6 months, if concurrent filing is removed, we may comment to include a clause that says "If i-140 is pending for more than 180 days and PD is current, i-485 may be filed.
Better yet, if they will include filing of i-485 even if PD is not current.
The silverlining if they remove concurrent filing is that there will be pressure to adjudicate i-140 within reasonable time or better yet, a hard target of 6 months.

The following message from murhy forum over 3 years ago is still true. Correct? I cannot mail the renewed parole to my wife if she stays beyond the expiry of current parole.
--
It is not permissable for an individual to leave the United States during the validity of one Advance Parole document and return upon the validity of a second Advance Parole document.
In such circumstances and after such travel, the USCIS may deem that the adjustment of status application has been abandoned.

IV should work closely with Senator Cornyn on this amendment. IV can contact him and talk about re-introducing the amendment and can coordinate w/ him in persuing other senators.
IV should directly bring up issue w/ Senator Hiliary Clinton. She is getting lot of contribution from Indian community. Her action do not match her words of supporting our cause.
IV should coordinate both and we can follow.

1)Incase my 485 application gets denied, can I start the process again and use the PD of my current application?
2) Can I move to and start the GC process with another company and use the current PD (I140 approved, 180 days passed), even if my current company revokes I140 and my Job description is very different --- I'm assuming yes.
3) What if I leave the country and come back after 2-3 years and reapply. Can I reuse the PD of my current application?
I was told by a friend that the priority date is mine forever since my I140 is approved. Is that correct?
Thanks
YES YES YES - go ahead screw your smalltime employer
