Hi All,
I just joined a new company and would like to use AC21 as I will be working on EAD. 140 is approved and 485 is pending for more than 180 days. New job is same or similar as per ONET job code.
My question is,
Is it necessary to involve your attorney or you can simply go ahead and file AC21 yourself?
I would like to what others have done? What kind of extra fees your attorney has charged for AC21?
Thanks
There is nothing called AC21 filing ie AC21 does not have a form that you fill out etc.... generally Attorneys attach the docs with a covering letter citing the AC21 clause and from what I understand, these docs may/may not get into your file.
The advantage of using an Attorney is,
(1) G28 filing - Attorney will get communication and be in position to respond or guide appropriately
(2) NOID, RFE and denials might happen and MTR may have to be filed.
Most times, issues arise when old employer withdraws the 140 petition.
USCIS needs to have a better way of handling this and avoid unnecessary tensions and errors

Also here is my next question. When my H1B extension is pending, can I change my employer? Should the new employer wait for my H1B that will be renewed or does the new employer apply for a fresh H1B renewal? I guess he cannot do this because I will out of status for 7 months and this might turn out to be illegal. Someone plsssssssss answer my questions!

Because if the person applying via EB based Green Card is married and if has children that many number of visas are used up when his application is approved, so even the petition was done for just 1 person, possibly, 2-3 unnecessary visas are being used up.

True enough, Dixie. I was hoping that other affected parties would become aware of this site through digg. Even one more contribution through this promotion would be worth it, I think.

Hi,Mr.ChanduV
THANKS FOR YOUR MAIL.
I can recapture only for 07/18/2006 to 08/16/2006. i.e only 29 days.
Atty Said ,It is fine to write 6/30/2010;The LCA can be for a longer period of time than that which is requested in the I-129 petition � it just can never be for a shorter period of time.
Thanks in Advance.

If your name is coorect in EAD, then you should go to SSN office and
explain them , and if required re apply. You will get it changed. Remember SSN is going to be stuck to your lifetime. Hence better do the correct thing.
