Yes, you are fine to be on unpaid vacation while your EAD is pending.

Since you are getting a visa extension on the based of an approved I140, they will most likely ask for a copy of it. If you have the copy of the petition and if it mentions that it was approved, that might be enough.

Yes.

Employer can appeal the denial. If you I94 is valid, they can refile a new petition and you can stay.

Soft copy should be good enough.

I don't think Chicago processes I129 forms.

Yes, you are cap exempt. You will have to leave as your I94 is expired. Check the I129 processing timing on USCIS for the latest.

You can do it. If you don't think Company B's petition will be approved, apply for transfer to Company C via consular processing. Safest option.

You can send the msa and the email or conversation that says they don't issue a client letter. It worked in some cases.

If I was you, I would use this Given Name: XYZSurname: LNU

Your I140 with Emp A should be approved for more than 180 days before you can use it with Emp B. Also you can use this I140 from Emp A for all future extensions after the 180 day period. 2. Most Likely Yes. 3. Make sure your employer agrees to not revoke your I140 for 180 days even if you are not on their payroll. 4. If your employer revokes it before 180 days, then the Priority date is gone. You will get a new Priority date next time. If you apply today its an estimated 150 year wait time for GC's, it really doesn't matter what is your priority date. 5. Future extensions and H4EAD (while it lasts).

Thanks!

Yes, USCIS will respond to the Rfes within the 15 days for premium processing cases.

1. yes 2. Yes 3. None that I can think of.

Congrats on your wedding! 1. Your OPT will not be cancelled till H4 is approved. 2. Yes. 3. Yes, you can work till May, 4. You can't work after your OPT expires and until your H1 or H4 EAD is approved. The order in which your H4 and H1 will be important as that will decide what status you are in after both are approved. 5. Yes. It is taking upto 5 months for H4 EAD's in some cases more than that.

Thanks for Clarification!

This is exactly why I asked you to check with the Attorney while applying for H1 extension based on 140.

I don't know how you are going to manage different SOW's and Client letters from the Client for different employers. Not advisable.

Oh, I was not talking about you. OK. Good Luck!

You will need to show the ability to pay the fees and living expenses for the remaining period of your course.

You can try, but I have seen more rejections then approvals for young applicants.

1. You can get 1 year extension on Approved PERM. But better to wait till I140 is approved to get 3 years. You can do I-140 in premium. 2. Yes, you can work from India. 3. No, you are in status.

You can apply now. Its taking 5 months for the application to be processed so make sure you are back by then.

You can certainly apply for one.

Here you go.
