Hi,
I am relocating to a different city and my current employer, who started my Green Card process, is ready to offer me job as a consultant. This would be a tele-commuting / remote position. I would be paid on an hourly basis -- 40 hours per week.
I am currently on H1B visa, but also have a valid EAD.
Would accepting this offer be ok for my ongoing green card process? Any ideas on how I can approach this offer? Or would I be better off looking for a another permanent position with some other company.
Would you please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!

Hi All ,
I am currently on L1B visa valid till Mar 09.
I can apply for renewal for the same in Sep 09 and wanted to check if there would be any issues as if i travel to india and return on the old petition in oct-nov 08 (in case the renewal is still pending).
Will my return on the old petition cancel my L1 renewal petetion ?
I am trying to get the L1 renewed as soon as possible so that i can file for EAD renewal for my spouse.
Any views would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Not advisable to apply for L1 extension now. You should do it after you are back from India. That is because, they will also extend your I-94 when you apply for extension (i.e the L1 extension approval notice will list your current I-94 number).
You would'nt want to end up in a state where you leave the country and return your current I-94 at the airport and CIS approves an extension on that I-94 (which you no longer have).
When you return, you will have a different I-94 that will be valid till Mar 09 and you have to file for extension again with that I-94. Alternately, you may go out of the country to get a new visa stamp before Mar 09 and re-enter with that visa stamp and get a new I-94...
convoluted, isnt it? Better to make that trip, come back, get a new I-94 and use that to extend your status.

What the denial notice says? Your options are to file a new H-1B ... in the meantime please appeal the case immediately as this will buy time.
Regarding other options, you can either re-enter US on B-1 or visit a consulate and get H-4 stamped.

I am on EAD. my priority date is Oct 2003 EB3.
I got new job that requires security clearance, so applied and got preliminary security clearance and started working as a contractor at Federal worksite.
Now i got letter from Department of homeland security saying i am not allowed to work at Federal worksite because my Adjustment of status is pending from Aug 2007, also saying Contact USCIS to get resolved or provide evidence i am in touch base with USCIS regards to this matter.
Since my priority date is not current, USCIS is not going to anything.
While applying this job i gave my EAD copy. They accepted Now i do know why i got this letter ?
IS there any one had same kind of situation?
Where or whom should I need communicate at USCIS? do they give any letter?
Thanks
Federal assignments are primarily meant for citizens and then in some cases for GC holders. It is impossible for a EAD holder or H1-Bs to join a Fed assignment. I know cases of my friends who have GC and still did not get security clearance from DHS. They moved out of the assignments and moved on in life and career.

My spouse was on H4 then got a job and changed to H1. Subsequently spouse lost her job and is now back on H4. I have been on H1 throughout and my six years of H1B visa expire in 2010. MY spouse I and want to get our H1 and H4 visa stamped in Mumbai consulate.
Does any one think that the changeover from H4 to H1 and then again to H4 could be a reason to be concerned about for getting the visa stamped at the consulate?
Appreciate your valauable advice.
When you wife lost her job, I assume you filed a Change of Status from H1 to H4 for her. Her status does not convert back to H4 unless you file a COS. As long as you show proof of legal stay in whatever status you were in US, and you have all supporting documents to submit during the visa interview, I dont see any issues for getting your visa. Its good to take all paystubs that your wife got while she was working on H1. I know of one case, where the visa officer asked for wife's paystubs during her H1 status though she was attending a H4 visa interview. She did not have them with her but the officer still granted her the H4 visa. But I guess she got lucky that time and its good to carry them.
