It will be much easier to separate after GC is in hand. It's possible to get separated before and still get GC, but she would need to file additional paperwork. Consulting with an attorney is recommended.

It depends on your Service Center. For TSC, you can have your EAD after 11 weeks from Receipt. For NSC, you can have your EAD after 12 to 14 weeks from Receipt.
Yeah, it could be on October or early November.

Can I apply for H1B stamp on the same H1B approved petition (not yet extended since I still have a year remaining on it) that I had when I returned on AP last year instead of H1B stamp? The reason to apply for H1B stamp this time is because of AP delay. I am hoping this memo says yes. Any thoughts?
Since the AP entry does not invalidate the approved H1B (or L-1) petition, the foreign national potentially could regain H (or L) status by traveling abroad and reentering with a valid H (or L) visa, and obtaining an H (or L) notation on the I-94 card at the port of entry. In these circumstances, the H (or L) status will be reinstated, giving one the benefit of continuing in that status for a length of time even if the I-485 ultimately is denied. Thus, when one wishes to maintain H1B (or L-1) status, which is often the case, this still may be accomplished, even if AP is used for entry at some stage in the process.

The information that is provided in this post is relevant as of Friday May 15, 2009. This is coming from our local AILA chapter Chair.
As many of our readers know, at the conclusion of the Marriage based adjustment of status interview, the immigration officer, upon approval, used to stamp the immigrant's passport with the I-551 (Green Card) stamp. This used to be an immediate proof that the case was approved and the applicant could work and travel using this stamp. As the actual production of the Green Cards became so fast, the practice of stamping applicants' passports stopped as well in most states across the nation.
It seems that things are changing, hence the recent notice from USCIS. According to the notice we received, the Green Card Facility in KY is undergoing renovation. USCIS' card production capability will be reduced over the next several months. They will expand the use of ADIT Temporary Green Card stamps as temporary evidence of LPR status.
The Stamps will be valid for 12 months (previously only 30 days validity was given). Work permits and travel documents (advance paroles) will be collected at the interview from the clients. The stamp will be the only proof of work and travel authorization in such cases. It looks like this policy will continue for the next 6-12 months. This is a nationwide policy and is not taking place only in San Diego.
We will keep you posted with more information as it becomes available.

The DREAM Act could come up for a cloture vote as early as this week, but faces tough opposition from Republicans -- including a few who, like McCain, previously supported the bill.
Some will likely vote against the DREAM Act citing timing. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) plans to bring up the bill for a cloture vote as early as Wednesday, but all 42 Republican senators have said they would filibuster any bills not related to tax cuts.
As the Senate struggles to come to agreement on the tax cuts and other issues, the DREAM Act could lose its few Republican supporters. Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), a co-sponsor of the DREAM Act, would vote against the bill if it came up this week, spokesman Mark Helmke said.
"You have to handle the spending bills, tax legislation and START first," Helmke said. "If we get those three things, he's willing to stay in and take up the DREAM Act."

Others Republican senators oppose the bill on its substance, even those who supported previous iterations of the bill. McCain now supports increased border enforcement and argues the border should be secured before the Senate can take up immigration issues such as the DREAM Act. Buchanan, his spokeswoman, attributed McCain's change in position to the increase in drug cartel violence in Mexico near the United States border.
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) was an original sponsor of the bill in 2001. Earlier in the year, he seemed supportive of the DREAM Act when he was asked about the bill at a town hall meeting.

Hello
We have a situation and need your advice on this:
We have approved I140 with company A. Company A merged with Company B, and created a new company. Our amendmant was filed for new company and is still pending. I have also a copy of my approved I140 with company A.
My I485 has passed the 180 days.and I have my EAD, and AP, and done FP.
I have an offer from different company from the same industry sector where I have been working for past many years and same job profile.
I have the following questions:
1. Can I use AC21 portability and take up the new job?
2. Do I have to wait for the amendmant I140 approval?? Or can I change with the approved I140 of company A, and 180 days past after amendmant has been filed.
3. is it true that the employer doesnt have control over pending I140 after 180 days past for 485?
Please help with your information....It will help us decide.
Thanks

Technically ...... "ZERO" (no time-gap).
But don't worry about it too much (what can you do). Get your next job ASAP, and file for "premium processing".
In the past "extension of status" petitions had got approved even after almost a month gap, with good explanation. But you can never count on that.
Worst thing that can happen for a valid new H1 job is USCIS approve your H1 but reject your "extension of status" (I797 without I-94 attached). In that case, you might need to travel outside of USA and get your visa.
Either way, don't go beyond 180 days. There will be additional consequences.
Hello, I lost my job today, but I have H1B. So what's the time gap for finding a new job?
Thank you very much.

Thanks for the clarification. This helps!
The text is printed on your SSN card based on your visa status at the time of application. EAD is also a temporary status, this also requires a renewal. Hence, you would not be able to "remove" the text from your SSN card until your receive the GC.

May I ask how you know this? Do you have some visibility to the internal processes, or have a credible source?
I'm not questioning your comment - just checking if it's more than hearsay.
Once every check is completed it goes into a queue and then every month a list goes to an officer based on the priority date and visa availability
The best thing is to call them as soon as the processing dates go past your application date. Call them to find out about ur case. At that time they are open about ur case. They will let you know exactly if your name check is cleared.
They also mentioned that once everything is in place the files goes to the office and then it might take up to 90 days for the officer to make a decision.
