In most of the job boards, we see the following employment types:
1. Full Time (this I understand :))
2. Contract - Corp 2 Corp
3. Contract - Independent
4. Contract - W2
5. Contract to Hire - Corp 2 Corp/W2/Independent.
Can someone explain to me what these mean?
What are the differences with taxation perspective?
For someone on EAD, (for AC21), which employment type(s) are preferred?
Thanks!

IMHO, If you have a valid H1b visa, then you need to be gainfully employed to keep the visa valid and that would mean you continue to get paid. If not, then that that is a problem. Joining the 2nd company on EAD is not a problem. Coming back to the 1st company on EAD is not a problem either. If you want to keep your H!b alive/valid, then I would suggest that you port/transfer your H1b visa to the 2nd company and when you are done with him, transfer h1b back to 1st company.
Seems like a lot of trouble to keep the h1b visa valid, but then again, that is one of the options.

To all IV members and the core team:
Thanks a bunch for mobilizing members to get their voices heard - first at the historic San Jose rally of high-skilled legal immigrants, and now with this monumental effort in DC on September 18th.
Thanks to all your efforts (myself included), we were able to file for Adjustment of Status (AOS), EAD and AP in July, and had the extension till August 17th to file it for those of us who couldn't do it sooner.
Thanks also to the lawmaker(s), and others who voiced their opinions and drew attention to the plight of highly educated, skilled, tax-paying, brilliant, and entrepreneurial folks, waiting for their GCs for as long as a decade.
We finally received our EADs yesterday, and our APs have been approved (awaiting notices).
The road from here to finally becoming permanent residents and perhaps eventually citizens of this great country (for those of us who wish to) is a long, winding one, full of tricky situations, significant risks, and the inevitable delays by the agencies concerned.
We all need to collectively make our voices heard, tell the lawmakers, the media, and the world about our lives that we continue living in limbo, and will be forced to do so for a long long time if we don't act.
I WILL ENTHUSIASTICALLY JOIN THE DC RALLY NEXT WEEK.

Guys:
Does anyone know what is the current count on H1-B Visas left for the year 2006-07 ?
I know I may sound stupid and probably the answer is that it is already complete, but wanted to confirm.
Also, when would the next years quota become available and when can one start working at the earliest ?
Is there any other way to file for H1-B now and work..?
Thanks

that is right. NIW - exceptional ability
So what are the details for this category.
By the way, where are the details on eb2 physician application procedure given in USCIS website? USCIS website mentions it and says, "Read more about this particular program", but there are no links to it. I searched and couldn't find anything related to that.
i'm presuming you are not talking about a physician NIW but and exceptional ability category?

i just noticed your post. i am from portland, oregon. so count me in also. i had posted a message on the orgon state chapter a while ago and have not had a single response yet. Inspite of the large numbers of members in seattle and portland areas, i too am sad to see to this kind of inactivity and non-response.
members from northwest (oregon, washington and idaho): This state chapter initiative is very important for our efforts. We are doing this for ourselves and I am pretty sure that these efforts will not harm your career or work in anyway. So, please do reply so that we could all get active and show that we in the Northwest can work for our situations and for iv's efforts in our own way.

Applied for AP/EAD/485 in July 07.....I know that I can invoke AC21 after 180 days and change jobs.....My question is ,
1. If I travel to India before the 180 days and use the AP when I return, is it like invoking AC21 before 180 days ?
2. what are the consequences of using AP within 180 days after filing for 485 ?
3. Is AP and AC21 related ? [brother, sister , cousin :) ]
Thanks.

Hello,
I need some advice concerning my application for a B2 Tourist Visa to the US as my wife and I wish to travel to Disneyworld Florida next December to celebrate our belated honeymoon:
I received a police caution in March this year for "Battery" under Section 39 of The Criminal Justice Act after a domestic argument with my wife here in the UK.
I also have a UK driving conviction from 2006 for "Driving Without Due Care and Attention" which resulted in a �100 fine and six points on my licence which have now expired.
Do either of these cautions/convictions constitute a crime of "moral turpitude"?
I am rather concerned that although I have read that a simple assault/battery does NOT constitute "moral turpitude," spouse abuse certainly does under US law.
Does the definition of simple battery or spouse abuse depend on which country the caution was received in?
The incident in question was more of an argument than one of domestic violence. I grabbed my wife's arm and she twisted herself trying to get away from me and she fell over which left her with a minor bruise and scratch. I certainly did NOT use any deliberate force or physical violence towards my wife.
The argument arose because I had been unemployed for over a year and my wife was stuck doing a job she hates and financial difficulties at the time had put a strain on our relationship. Now that I have secured a full time job and our financial problems have depleted, the relationship between my wife and I is very stable and loving.
However, if the consular officer at the embassy decides that this is a crime of moral turpitude, would I still be eligible for "petty crime exemption" (as the maximum sentence for a Section 39 battery crime is six moths in jail) even though I have the driving conviction from 2006?
Any assistance and guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
TJH 34

It was through grassroots advocacy that we were able to explain to the Senate leadership just how important this issue is. Thank you to everyone who made an effort.

Thanks fromnaija, If she maintains any non-immigrant visa she can be added without any 'follow-to-join' petetion right i.e., she can be added to my 485 just like the normal process when my PD becomes current.
Yes that's correct as long as the marriage occurs prior to when you want to add her.

Hi all,
I am currently working on an L1 visa. Have been in the US for 1.5 years.
A few weeks ago I wanted to change my job. Now I have an offer and the new employer is trying to sort out the visa.
Unfortunately, the H1B visas are gone for this year, and the employer can't wait until October to get me working in their team, so waiting for the new H1 visas is not an option.
After checking with their immigration attorneys, they now say the only option I have is to request an 'O' visa (they will support me).
'O' visas are available for top sportsmen, actors or scientists. The attorneys say I have a good-enough resume to apply for one (masters degree, published some articles and experience in top companies) but I still think the opportunities are not many, since I think my resume is really good but not outstanding enough for this type of visa.
My question is, how careful do I have to be when letting the company attorney to apply for a 'O' on my behalf? And specially, if the visa is denied is that going to impact my current L1 visa? I don't wanna end up with no visa at all! And also, is that going to be a 'bad record' next time I apply for a visa (probably H1)?
What about the positive case? Can I have the 'O' visa during the 2 weeks I will still work in my current company under an L1 (I have to give my company 2 weeks notice before leaving) before moving jobs?
I can't stop thinking the attorneys want the best for the company, that doesn't mean they want the best for me, so I am worried about the possibility they are applying for the visa on my behalf but not minding possible bad consequences for me if the visa is refused.
Thanks so much for your help.

My second 140 may be approved by this month end.. Neb-Nov. 08-filing... i am hoping i will be able to port my PD..to 12-05
Now..in case i lose my job... and since i am in my 9th yr-h1..which expires may-2010..
suppose ..i cant find a job ...and if i have to leave US.....(but my employer agrees not to cancel my 140)
a.) what should i do to retain my GC process?
b.) How do i switch to CP processing....
Thanks in advance..
You need to file I 824 form and let USCSIS know that you want to transfer your case to consulate. If you are from Mumbai consulate area then u can do AC I 140. becasue I 824 can take 1-2 years to transfer your details.
While in AC I 140 you just need receipt of I 824 and attorney certified package. More details you can get on internet. If you PD is near to current then u can initiate this process and thus with in 3-4 months if PD become current you can get visa interview. Generally they dont ask for hard ship reason for AC I 140 but in your case you can explain about your wait time and impact on your career etc..
To do AC I 140 or normal CP process u need offer letter from employer.
