Having said that, there is no need to wait to file 485 due to visa retrogression.
Agreed, one of the IV goals.

Well, I'm pretty biased since I work on the Expression Blend team :beam:
Silverlight is a great alternative for the numerous developers who already have knowledge in C# and want a way to port their desktop applications to run on the web. Silverlight 2 is basically a lite version of WPF which is quite a powerful framework for creating desktop apps.
The combination of Visual Studio for coding and something like Expression Blend for the design makes creating Silverlight applications extremely simple - especially for the numerous individuals out there who don't have any knowledge in ActionScript but do have a more formal background in Java, C++, VB, etc. You can even import and use assets created in 3rd party apps such as Fireworks (which is what I do), Photoshop, etc. as well.
Temp - you do know that Java is probably one of the most widely used platforms a whole host of applications right? :P

From what I can infer from the replies so far:
1. For full time/permanent positions, EAD opens the doors to companies that do not usually sponsor visas. From the salary perspective, a boost might not be possible
2. For contract positions, eliminating the desi layer in between might help increase the rate.
In (2), how do you all intend to do that? A lot of larger clients I've seen have the preferred vendor policy and if the desi company is the preferred vendor, how do you eliminate them?
You eliminate vendors based on what your expectations are as per the rate is concerned. You can not eliminate vendors totally because most of the large corporations go thru vendors , could be desi or otherwise .
Having an EAD opens up more oppurtunities than on H1 , Its up to the individual how one wants to use/benifit from the oppurtunities.

I was on I-485 status on my EB3 application working on EAD. My I140 for Eb2 application got approved today while also requesting porting of priority date.
I believe USCIS would have automatically switched the 485 application to use the new EB2 I-140 instead of old EB3-I140
Now my question I am ready to renew my EAD. I wanted if there will be any problem with my EAD application since it is now transfered to an Eb2 position.
My pririty date is still not current....
EAD is based on a pending I-485, you should go ahead to renew your EAD (as you work in EAD, do not let it expire). Consult a lawyer, send additional documentation along with the package that you have done so-and-so transfer.

Yes I did, but did not get a dual card. It says on the card - "Not Valid For Reentry to US" - my guess its not dual.
Did you say 2007!? and you haven't rcvd EAD cards till now!. Did you check with USCIS?

His PD is July 2006. He would have gotten the 2 year EAD either way. EB2 India is June 01 2006.
Isn't there a rule that talks about folks getting their 2 year EAD only if they are two years (or some timeframe) away from their PD?

Hi,
Quick question here. Suppose the h1 receipt was not attached and the application was already sent by july2. Can we send in a copy of H1 extension receipt now ?
My h1b visa expired in april 2007 and extension was filed in feb 2007. I94 also expired in april 2007. I am thinking as long as u apply aos application within 180 days of being out of status for any reason we are in status.
Correct me if im wrong and add any info that you may feel is relevant..
Anxiously waiting for reply

Applied i140 and 485 on July 2nd and yesterday my i140 got approved. So I guess no need for premium processing now as the process is moving faster.

Your post deserves to be deleted. You seem to lose sight of the real issue and instead resort to preaching from the relative anonymity of your digital pulpit. There are families that are worse off for having ITIN and unable to get an economic stimulus check that is intended to help kick start the economy NOW. Preaching that they can submit an ammended return sometime in the future is a moot point. Catch the irony? Economic stimulus is to help the economy now. Now. Now. Let's try that 3 more times.

In some states (like NJ), you need a letter from Social Security Administration stating that you are not eligible for SSN.
Essex,MD has the MVA office.

They don't need any letter from SSN administration.However they do check your visa status etc.So should be able to prove your legal status(passport.797 form etc),
i would suggest call them up or go to their office with all the documents.They will tell u if there is anything they need and if it is missing.
they are extremely courtious people and will tell u rightaway if there are problems with ur docs.
Offcourse my information may be outdate so call them up first to make sure info is correct.
