Thanks for the link. Mr.Srinivas looks promising.

This news has been out for some time on Matt Oh's site.

I just read this line from the USCIS release

===

USCIS�s announcement today allows anyone who was eligible to apply under Visa Bulletin No. 107 a full month�s time to do so.

====

It appears Labors approved after July 31 cannot apply for 485 as they would not have been eligible under bulletin No. 107.

if yes, then this is something that should be clearly mentioned somewhere.

Hi All,

Please help!!

I will be completing my first 3yrs of H1 in Sept 2010. My I-797 is valid till Sept 2010. I-94 & H1 visa expired on April 4th 2010.

My company has applied for 1-129 on April 1st 2010.

I have a few questions -

1. Since my 1-94 is expired and H1 too, am "I out of status"? - I-129 is still pending, I have received the receipt from USCIS on April 12, 2010.

2. If I am out of status, is it going to effect my visa renewal or H1 extensio?

3. What to do?

Your response will be highly appreciated, I am very confused.

Thanks & Regards.

Hi,

One of my friends lost his Petition papers. His H1-B visa is about to expire and he wants to file for an extension. Currently he is in India and was planning to travel to US this week, when he lost his petition papers.

Will it be possible for him to travel to US without his Petition papers and apply for a duplicate / extension?

Please let me know any help line number where he can call to clarify his doubts.

Thanks much
Sri

thats a good one ..

shows the true state of affairs in legal immi front ...

Just read that if you have sent one check for 1-140 & 485 then the whole package will be returned and you would have to refile your I140. If you have sent separate checks then they will just return the I485 part of your package.

Source: Either Fragromen or Murthy. Check their websites.


Sent in two checks.

Hi, I am currently on my 5th year H-1B visa. I have an option to stay with the same firm and they will help me apply greencard. But I am also considering an opportunity in Bermuda for a 2-3 year program (with the same firm).

My question is if I come back to the US after 2 years, will I be able to apply H-1B visa again? Will it be a whole new H-1B petition/application process subject to the H-1B cap?

Or will it be just another H-1B renewal process following my previous two terms?

Do I need to wait for another two terms of H-1B to expire before starting the greencard process?

Can I ask my currently employer to apply for greencard concurrently while I am working outside the US?

Thanks,

The Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky has registered and notified the winners of the DV-2010 diversity lottery. The diversity lottery was conducted under the terms of section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and makes available *50,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.

Winners should start finding out very soon. Notifications to the randomly-selected diversity visa or "green card lottery" winners are being sent between May and July 2010.

How does it all work?

Soon an official letter from the U.S. Department of State Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) in Williamsburg, Kentucky will be sent to the mailing address that you provided in your entry. Being selected as a lottery winner does not guarantee that you will receive a visa; you must still apply and qualify for the immigrant visa. The notification letters will provide further instructions, including information on additional forms and documentation required and immigrant visa application fees.

Only participants in the DV-2010 program who were selected for further processing have been notified. Those who have not received notification were not selected. They may try for the upcoming DV-2011 lottery if they wish. The dates for the registration period for the DV-2011 lottery program will be widely publicized during August 2009.

let's abandon the gc process, pack up and leave...........

Iam on L2 and working on my EAD which is expiring on april 29 th 2011.

I have applied for H1 in the 2010 quota but due to my employers mistake i got a rejection on that.
we are trying to reappeal to USCIS but iam not sure if its going to work.

Suppose i have a project and apply again for 2011 quota , can i still continue working even if my EAD expires.
They say that we actually move to H1 on October , so if i apply before end of April through premium processing and get an approval notice before October can i continue working or start work right away or do i have to wait till October.
Is there a possibility to start working immediately as soon as my H1 gets approved or do we have to wait until October in any case.

Thanks in advance

I dont think so ...
I think students Graduating from US universities can do that ..
just consult a attorney.

Thanks

This is the wording i saw at the embassy site:-

"Foreign-born minor children are not eligible for OCI if both the parents are Indian citizens holding Indian Passports."

So its clear that if both parents are indian citizens with indian passports the kid cannot get an OCI and has to get the PIO instead.

I think you should be fine. Apart from this scenario on the other extreme you could start working for the new company with just the receipt number as well. You dont need to wait for the approval to start working for the new company.
Hello All,

I am planning to start working for a new company starting June. I was wondering If I can start H1B visa transfer to the new company via premium processing(hopefully will get approved in 2-3 weeks) and continue to work for the current employer and get paid till the end of May, even the though the transfer would have been approved in the end of April.

Thanks in advance.

I came over here just over 5 years ago on a fiancee visa, with my daughter who was 7yrs old at the time, married my now husband, and went through the Greencard process, and finally got my 10 yr Greencard about a year ago. Everything has been fine up till now, but 3 weeks ago I discovered that my husband had been sexually molesting my daughter for the previous 2 weeks, she is now 12 yrs old!
I got out of the home immediately and have been staying with freinds for the last 3 weeks. We reported this to the police and have been interviewed by them, DCF, and she has given a taped interview to the Child Protection Team, and now we are waiting to find out where we go from here!
I have never worked since I arrived here, as he needed me at home with my daughter and his 2 children who he had custody of. So I am now homeless, pennyless, because he has cut me off from everything, and in dispair as to where to go from here.
My family in the UK just want to to return home immediately, but if I do I may jeapordise my case, and will probably be brought back to testify anyway in the coming months!
Any advice anyone?

I live in Jacksonville Florida.

A startup in the area filed for my PERM and it was approved in June 2010. Right now, they are in a mess about their tax returns and reauditing with their CPA and it seems that they will not be able to provide tax statements for this year end.

That will cause the PERM to expire without filing I140 since PERM expires in Dec. Is there anyway for us to file extension for the PERM ? More than 180 days...

My friend with july-07 filer (I-140 approved in Jan-07) lost H1 in Mar-08 and work on EAD and his company move to new address in May-09. USCIS site visit on Aug-09 to old address for H1-b (one year ext) for his co-worker. His co-worker got letter form USCIS to submit documents in Dec-09 for existance of the Company. Company inform everyone in Nov-09 that it is going out of business and shutting down operation in Dec-09.

What are the options my friend and his co-worker with (LC/I-140 approved form another company) have??

Your friend and his co-worker has to find another job in same/similar field as soon as possible and file AC21 with the new employer.

Dear Experts/Lawyers,

I wanted to ask a question about my status based on the situation described below:

1. I entered the United States on F1 Visa in 2003.
2. Applied for and got H1B approved, with the bottom right part attached. The visa was valid till November 2008.
3. Applied for and got H1B extension approved, with the bottom right part attached. The visa is valid till November 2011.
4. Never left the United States since I entered in 2003 on F1 Visa.
5. My passport expires in the middle of 2010.

Based on this, in order to ensure my legal stay in the United States, do I need to do anything, except renew my passport at some point of time before it expires, in terms of either having to leave the US, or go to some agency to update something? Please suggest. Thank you for your help.
