Working off the books is illegal ofcourse.
Because firstly, you are breaking the immigration law by working on H4. Also you are breaking the tax laws by working off the books, since you dont pay taxes and the employer doesnt pay the payroll tax. And no one pays the medicare and social security tax that is supposed to be paid.
Working without pay:
A lot of H4s have asked that why cant we work as a volunteer where there is no pay. This might be a grey area and you may want to check with a lawyer before you work on H4 without pay. It could be legal but its really not that black and white.

I have H1B visa stamp on passport with my old employer and I have AP, EAD and H1 approval with my new employer. I am planning to travel to India in December. If I use AP on my way back, does that annul my H1 approval with new employer. Pl advise.

Lawyers are willing to file before JULY as because then they can charge the
LEGAL fee. Wake up vivekm1309....
Our lawyer Company has decided to file the AOS application in July
I work for a big 5 Software company & our lawyer Littler Global had taken a stand on July that they will not file our AOS application after the June VB was revoked/amended on July 2nd.
Surprisingly , today we have received a mail from them that that keeping in view our best interest they have decided to file our AOS case in July regardless of CIS receipting them.
Wanted to share this information as it may be helpful for you folks too ...

Guys,
My understanding was that automatic revalidation was stopped a few years ago?
I would say that getting an appointment and a new visa stamp is the safest bet. If that's not a possibility and you have to go, I will suggest travel by road instead of air. From what I have heard they tend to be more lenient when you are driving across.
Do check thoroughly before travelling on an expired visa.
Take Care
Power of internet, thanks for all the input.
That is right my previous I-94 has expired and I should get the latest I-94 as part of new I-797. My US multiple visa expired last August.
My question is thoroughly answered that I could use the "Automatic revalidation rule" to come back into US using my I-94 and I-797.
One more question to the folks who became Canadian PRs. When I exit out
of US can they force me to give up I-94 as I am landing as Canadian PR. In others words,
can they override "Automatic revalidation rule" in this case.
Part of me says they are two different teams one working for US to track I-94
and the other looking for Canadian PR so they can never rationalize this. If they talk then that could be an issue. Isn't that right?

Please refrain from saying such a thing for President.
He might have made mistakes but he has been a tough one for terrorists.Since Sep11,2001,he has kept the ppl safe.
6 years is a big time.
If he is trying something beneficial for Immigrants,lets support him and ask him to support our cause.
I think we should send faxes/emails to him to show our support and I am sure he will get our amendment passed.
Lets give this a try.I am sure he will make no more mistakes as these are some last things which can give a lot of credibility back to his Presidentship.
alright MR junior bush

Is there a real need of seperate group other than IV.
Just curious.
we just want to group together locally to meet local lawmakers. Most importantly Senator Cornyn's office in near future and push for our goals.
And it is not any seperate group. join the yahoo group to find out who is doing what in their local cities in Texas.

Thats a really bad idea!!
Tell the new employer that you need H1 to work for them, if they don't want to do it then find another job or stick to your current job.
It sucks but that's the law.

now a days that test is mandatory for all Asian countries. If you did master's in US then you no need to take that test. in their website there is a point calculation chart for the points that you get in IELTS the corresponding points for canada pr. If won't take that test mostly they will reject the application if you are from Asia.

this is not a game , this happened really to me .I am Indian .They did not gave my passport back . They took my passport and send me to Bangalore Airport back .I know they don't have any right to hold any one's property that too a country citizenship passport.I am looking for an answer and advice , not question for a question
India doesn't allow anyone to enter the country without a passport. Period.
Try calling the USCIS/Customs customer service, I believe there was a post sometime back in which a person gave the customer service numbers of all the airports. You will have to search. Try logging a complaint with the Indian embassy in US (Chicago, Houston, LA, Washington.)

Thanks all.
I did send the ITIN application and tax return documents together. I have called IRS multiple times, but they could not confirm anything about the status of ITIN processing. All they say is it is their peak time and I should wait up to 8 weeks to see if I get the ITIN letter :mad:. I have no idea what to do in case I don't get the ITIN letter within that timeframe :confused:.
You dont have anything to worry about. If you dont get the ITIN, just amend your tax return with new ITIN application later.

My primary tip is patience... By very early, I mean at or just after sunrise... Early's no problem, I don't sleep anyway. :p I'll work on my patience ;)
I've also had great success with a trick Don Bevis shared. You can get thin bamboo sticks... I always carry two of them with me and stick them in the ground so that they apply slight pressure to the plant stem... It doesn't always work, but it does so often enough that it's worth hauling the sticks around... I remember Don's bamboo stick tip now that you remind me. I'll go to the nursury today...
These days I make heavy use of my 5-in-1 disk for diffusion and reflection... but Kevin Sadler talked me into spending more money to get a quality product and I haven't regretted it... Kevin's suggestion of using a quality reflector is a good idea, I'll go the camera store after the nursury...
As for shooting technique, a tripod is a must... and hang the camera upside down... and frequently use mirror lock up... GaryI use a manfrotto 3001BPRO tripod, which allows you to put the camera all the way onto the ground, and even position the center column horizontally, but I use a pan-tilt head that's not too flexible (and I bent it the other day :(). I'll look at ball heads while I'm at the camera store... I never thought of hanging the camera upside down! I'll try that. Great tip. I use mirror lock-up when shooting thru my telescope, but forgot to use it here. Will do.
Hope all of this rambling helps... Gary
Thanks for the feedback, Gary, I really appreciate it.

I have a pending I-485 application (EB-3) and effective Oct 1, my PD will be current. My application has been pending for more than six months already so I will be covered by AC21. I never worked for my sponsoring employer but will be as soon as I get my GC.
I have a feeling that my green card is just around the corner. Spoke to my employer yesterday about my employment with them and it looks like they are changing their minds about hiring me.
I am so worried. Anybody in the same situation? What do I do? Will I lose the green card?
Well, you have two options:
1. Use AC 21 (I am assuming your 140 is approved and 485 is filed more than 6 months ago) and move to another employer BEFORE the approval of GC. With this option, neither you nor your employer would have any obligation for the job after GC approval. Your AC 21 employer is now the "new permanent job" for you after GC approval.
2. If you have good terms with the employer, ask them to hire you for at least 1-2 months after GC approval and then "fire" you. This way you would be safe. (it was not your fault but the employer fired you). Also if the employer does not pay salary mentioned in LC, you can leave them giving that reason (save the pay stubs for evidence later on, if asked for).
3. If your employer simply do not offer you a job after the approval of GC, it still would not be yoru fault. In this scenario, likelyhood is that, you will be safe. However, this technically would be a sort of misrepresentation by the employer and on that grould USCIS can revoke your GC saying that "employer falsified the initial job offer and there was really no job ever for the position mentioned on LC". While this is a possibility it is a remote possibility.
I would suggest option 1,2 and 3 in that order as "desirability" of your situation.
Again I am not a lawyer, but this is what I can suggest as far as I know.
Good Luck.

AP expiry doesn't mean out of status. If paroled into US and the I-485 is in process means no problem.
But if you are on EAD and not renewed EAD means, you can't work till you have received a new EAD.
AP need only going abroad. IT IS BETTER TO HAVE IN HAND, FOR USING AN EMERGENCY TRAVEL.

this is in response to some who say what if India does this and that ...the point is that India will do nothing. In general we have passive leaders and our PM is a great example of that - if it was done against china then immediately there would have retaliation. in some ways it is good if it stops the misuse ...I guess the biggest losers in this are the lawyers - more lawyer shops will close down
