The Original Post said he was contracting for Federal Govt. It is possible to contract with most Depts on H-b, EAD , GC regardless of your immigration status.
It is not true, that it is not possible to work in Fed Govt on H1 or EAD. Hundreds of contractors work for the Federal govt in DC area who are on H1-Bs.

Hi, I have an approved I 140 (EB3) and my priority date is Nov 2007. I have a Canadian PR and my employer has agreed to let me work from our Canada Office. My question is, what should I do when/if my priority date becomes current while we are in Canada ? Should we come back to USA on visitors visa and apply for AOS or should be go for Consular Processing ? What are the pros and cons of each approach ?

Most companies that hire H1b workers or sponsor F1/OPT status workers for first-time H1 either have a law-firm deal all their immigration cases or an outside lawyer. Some of the big companies have a full-time in-house counsel.
Some employers who rarely hire professionals in need of H1b may not be aware of process and may ask you to look for lawyer to do it for them. The H1B petition is filed by employer. However, employee can certainly help with it. Legally, the employer cannot charge the employee for USCIS fees or lawyer's fees. However, you can hire your own lawyer to help you with your questions and answers(if you hire your own lawyer, you can be comfortable with all advise he gives you, since he would have your best interest in mind as you would be the client). However, to file a petition of H1, your employer should be paying the lawyer(either your lawyer or their lawyer).
Filing for H1B petition requires a fixed set of documents and its simple to do if you have time to do a little research. Many employees help their employers and together, they do it themselves without the help of lawyer, therby saving money. An average lawyer would charge 1000 dollars in fees for filing the petition. For USCIS fees, please look up their website.
There are H1 specific forums on www.immigrationportal.com which would have more details.
Thanks.

Thanks for your response.
But both of my labor certifcates are from the same company. I read somewhere I-140 is for intending to employ me. How can they employ me in two categories one on EB3 and one on EB2.
Do you see any disadvantage if I file both from the same company.
Thanks.

It will never happen here. Even if it does happen, it will still have an annual quota, which would lead to priority dates.

This from Immigration-law.com
06/15/2007: July EB-2 and EB-3 Visa Numbers Open and Consular Processing
The State Department states that they allocated a large number of EB-2 and EB-3 visas because of the USCIS I-140 and I-485 backlogs and because if the visa numbers are not used before the end of the fiscal years, some of them can be wasted. Assuming that the USCIS may continue their current processing times and backlogs in I-140 and I-485, the EB-2 and EB-3 may continue to remain current. However, it is just a speculation and risky to rely on such speculation when one handles his/her immigrant status.
In time like this, the consular immigrant visa application is very risky for the two reasons. For instance, if the EB-2 or EB-3 numbers face a cut-off date again in August or September, unless their immigrant visa is "actually" issued and they enter the U.S. before the retrogression, they will be stuck abroad. For those who are currently residing in the U.S. and intend to apply for the immigrant visa through the consulates rather than adjustment of status through the USCIS, a similar risk will prevail, but unlike the those who are residing abroad, they will be able to extend the H-1B extension under AC 21 Act pending the visa number availability. In this regard, their risk is less but still high in that since they did not submit I-485, they will not be able to take advantage of obtaining EAD and Advancer Parole, not to mention AC 21 portability of the approved I-140 petition for change of employment. All in all, the consular immigrant visa application is not recommended when the future of the visa numbers remins unpredictable.

When the dates are current then only you can add your wife name to your pending 485, until then you have to wait based upon your priority dates EB1 or EB2, during this time you should maintain your H1B status inorder to keep you wife H4 status valid.
presently EB2 ---- 01 JUN 03 and EB3 ----->01 OCT 01

Hello,
I will be getting married to a H1 holder in India and because of the time involved in obtaining a marriage certificate, am planning to leave shortly after the wedding with my existing B2/tourist visa. What are my options of applying for a H4 once I do that - would I have to come back to India to apply for that, or can it be done from Canada/Mexico - are there any risks pertaining to intent of travel associated with such an action. Thanking you in advance for valuable help in this matter!

He can do that, but there is a chance that the CIS will reject the change of status application on the basis of preconceived intent. If he does come here, he should wait 60 days before filing the change of status application. My recommendation is that he apply for an H-4 abroad and then enter using the H-4 visa.

Apologies if this is covered in a thread elsewhere (doubt it)
A colleague and I both filed EB2 PERM labors at around the same time in 2005.
Our 140s got approved roughly together too/
We both also applied for 485 on July 2nd, through the same lawyer, and both applications went to TSC.
Both of us saw our checks get encashed on the same date.
Here's where our applications diverged.
He received an LUD last friday and his EAD card has been ordered.
I received an FP request today(monday) but no LUD updates.
Although our applications are a bit dis-similar (he is married, i filed single), I have this theory that USCIS is splitting their queue, so as to not bombard its internal departments with the flood of work that has recently come in.
It makes total sense to split people into two groups (atleast), and for each:
a) send them EAD cards with a note of FP pending.
b) send them FP notices and do their EAD later.
(I know another friend who is in group a, while I'm in b)
Yes, we all like to bitch and moan about USCIS, but thats generally emo-talk.
So, has anyone else noticed this, or can anyone help me understand what I'm missing here.
This is just me speculating, but I'd like to throw this thought out there and have it rebound with your inputs.
:)

I have an opportunity to do some consulting work for a company B on a part-time basis apart from my current full time job with company A. I know that I will need another H1 for the part time gig but what I am confused about is whether the company B has to wait for next years quota to file for an H1 or can it file immediately ? Meaning is the H1b quota tied to max no of individuals ? or to max no of positions ?
I would appreciate if some one knowledgeable about the issue can comment on my question:confused:

You can use your eb3 EAD.
But first to get into EB2 category, you have to first file another separate labor with a different employer (w/same employer it will most likely rejected) and then file 140 separately agian and then once your 140 is approved get it interfiled and then port from eb3 to eb2.
Thanks. I understand the chances are slim but I am willing to take the risk since My company has already gone through the recruitment process...Worst I still going to be on eb3...
Another question...By moving to a diferentt positon I am invoking AC21 even though it is in the same company...but at the same time I am filing for eb2 where job duties has to be atleast 50% different. This then violates ac21 rules so how come this is allowed. Most people convert from eb3 to eb2 using h1b but I am not sure if it is possible using ead
