Topic: Employer Merger
Hi,
Currently i am working for Employer A ( GC sponsoring employer ).
My i-140 has been approved in Jun 2007 and i-485 has been pending since Aug 2007.
Employer A merged with Employer B in NOV 2008.
Since my current H1B ( with Employer A) is expiring in Feb 2009, Employer A ( i.e my current employer, gc sponsoring employer) is proposing to transfer my H1B to Employer B ( i.e instead of renewing with Employer A ).
Regarding my pending Greencard, when i ask my employer A, he is saying nothing needs to be done.
But,i am not sure what should i do with the pending i-485 in this case.
Please let me know 1) If I dont invoke AC21 and leave everything as it is in my Greencard what will be the effect?
Please advise on the best possible thing that i can do in this case.
Appreciated a lot your help.
Sincerely,
Anand |

Topic: Reg :- Letting H1B & H4 expire and moving to EAD & AP ( based on pending i-485 )
Thanks Greenman and Macky for your updates.
My i-140 has already been approved on Aug 2007. i have crossed the 180 day limit for AC21 on Jan 2008.
i want to move to EAD so that i do not deal with H1B renewals, frequent stampings in consulate, probablity of rfe/denial in h1b ( since my employer has merged the company with some other company and he says he will be applying for h1b with the new company) etc.
Pls advise.
Thanks

Hi ,
Thank you for taking time to go through the below and helping me out.
My current H1B and my wife's current H4 is expiring in Feb 2009.
we have our i-485 pending ( EB3 India, PD :- AUG 2006 ) and both of us has got EAD and AP.
i am still working for the sponsoring employer ( both H1B and Greencard ).
Now i am planning to let my H1B and my wife's H4 to expire and start working on EAD with my employer.
Pls let me know :-
1 ) is it sufficient if i send a new i-9 along with a copy of my EAD card to my employer.
2) what should i do with our expired i-94 card ( since we entered last time using the H1B & H4, which is about to expire in FEB 2009 ).
Please advise. Appreciated a lot.
Thanks in advance.

Topic: Reg :- Employer Merger. Can i invoke AC-21 and join another company.
Hi,
i started my Greencard Process with my current employer ( i.e Employer A ) on June 2006.
My i-140 approval date is June 2007 ( through Employer A's attorney )
My i-485 filed date is August 2007 ( through Employer A's attorney )
My Current EAD is Valid till August 2010
i am still on H1B with Employer A and i have still not used my EAD.
on November 2008 ( this week ), Employer A merges merges the company with another company.
Employer A informed us only after the merger happened and he does not specify what he intends to do with my Greencard..
i am planning to quit my current employer ( i.e Employer A ) and join another company using my EAD with the same job description.
i am planning to hire an experienced immigration attorney and use my EAD and invoke AC-21.
Pls advise if there will be any problem for me in my greencard process in the future.
Sincerely appreciated your help on this.
Thank You in advance.
Best Regards
