i did it myself... highly recommend it... unless you have good budget or expect the money to be made back real quick...

in most states, first step is to file the articles of incorporation, once articles are approved, you may have to select a board (if you did not set it up in the articles), record the inc with your county recorder, register the inc with IRS (for fein), open a bank account, if your business is retail, register with the state, get a state id number and thats it...

the long process is making all the decisions... who should be your registered agent, how many shares, what initial equity, what address, who are the board members, what purpose of the company etc...

have fun...

I have heard that it is pretty easy and straight forward to incorporate a business using legalzoom.com. I have not tried that myself..

Your assumption is not right.

Your visa must have a validity date. You can travel out without any problem as long as your travel dates are within that VISA validity date.

No problem if you are not willing to travel..and want to stay in USA. If your H1 is about to expire...then make sure it is extended.

Smooth. Keep up coming. =)

I came to US in 2009 March (on H4 Visa) ,
I filed my H1B in September 2009 with Company A and got approved October 2009. I search for projects 2 months; my employer was unable to place me. So he said he will revoke the H1B petition. After that due to family emergency I gone back to India and while re-entering I entered as H4. (As per I-94 Copy). That H1B never got used and I never got any pay stub from Company A.

Now I am on H4 till date.

I have found the project and the new employer (who is client say Company B) is ready to file my H1B application. Now as per the Company B�s Legal Team, they can�t get the approval before 1st October 2011 (or start date of H1B visa) and they have to fill this position by this month End. (Which is May or Mid June)

Now I have inquired some other place and gone through different forums to get answer.
Here is the query,
If Company B files my H1B petition with attachment of existing I-797, will my petition get approved from the quota of 2009 (since I got visa with validity date as 1st Oct 2009 year)??

What kind of H1B petition I need to file and when it will get approved?
Will this be a fresh H1B petition or something different?
Can I get approval immediately ( if I filed in Premium processing) so I can start working. Or does the petition will say as start date 1st October 2011?

Please help me in this issue. I will really appreciate your help.

Any document/ link which shares light to similar issue is really helpful for me.

Couple of questions folks:

1. Should H1 B Job and GC Job be related? I am going for an H1 B extension based on approved I 140.

2. Can we consider Software Quality engineer on H1B and Software engineer on GC related?

The NAICS occupational codes for

Software Quality Engineer is 541511
Software Engnieer is 541710

Can we consider them related for AC 21 purpose. I so not have the approved labor or I 140.

3. Currently am on H1 which is going to expire next month with my current employer and had my GC filed as a software engineer. I am planning to move over to the client where right now am working as a contractor. I am being offered a position as Software Quality engineer.

Now, do I use the H1 extension and go on to the client or use EAD? If I go onto the client on H1 extension, what happens to the GC process and my EAD?

When I leave the company and if the current employer withdraws the I 140, am I ok?

I'm planning to get my medical check up done in the third week of July 2008. I'm not sure which version of I-693 Form is to be used.

As of 7-11-08 on the USCIS website it says, "Edition Date : 06/05/08. Previous editions will be accepted only for medical exams conducted before August 1, 2008. Medical exams conducted on or after August 1, 2008, require use of the 06/05/08 edition (link at bottom of page)."


Does this mean that I have to use a version older than Version 06/05/08, if I have my medical check up done before Aug 1 2008?
If so Which version is to used in this case and where do I download the older version of the I-693 form?
Would the Physician ensure that the correct form is used during my check up or is this my responsibility?

Also, the 06/05/08 Version has the Vaccination page included in it unlike the older versions which had a separate Vaccination Supplement form.

Could anybody provide some guidance?

Thanks,
jnc

that sounds great, but where can i find dog sounds (flashkit only has 1)??

what does the status show on uscis.gov and the last updated date (LUD)?

Thanks

Maybe this belongs under the news/articles topic. But since it's much closely related to the rally, I posted it here. Admins, please move this if required.

Am starting this thread to capture all posts about media coverage on the rally.

Please let the community know which channels are airing any coverage.

I came to the US on F1 for MS and then trasferred to another college to pursue my PhD. During this time my F1 visa expired, but I am maintaining my legal status as my I-20 is valid. I got married last year and my wife who originally came on F1, is now on H1.
I am going to planning to go to India in end of April and need to renew my F1 visa. What are the chances of my renewal getting refused, due to my wife's H1 (dual intention) status? What documents if any, can I show in order to prove that I have intentions to come back to the US?
I need to get a visa interview date soon, so please reply as soon as is convenient.

Thanks in advance!

Should not be a problem. just keep some property docs.
Worst case, they will give you H4 visa. Once you enter on H4, you can file I-539 to change from H4 to F1.

Hi all!

I've been trying to get a job offer from Canada for the past one year as my occupation is not on the list of occupations that have shortage. I'm a market research analyst and work online with a UK company for almost 3 years. I would love to move to Canada and have a real job and family but am at a stage where I do not know what else to do as the companies want you to be present in Canada and Canadian govt asks for a job offer to get a visa?

Very confused here. If someone got an arranged offer from Canada could you please guide on how much work experience you had and how you got an offer?

Thanks!

-If your job is not in NOC, you have limited choices.
1)Move to Canada & study for 1 yr., a person who have study there for 1 yr. in Canada & has 2 yr. of experience can apply for Canada immigration, even if his profession is not in NOC list. You would be eligible as you have 3 yrs. experience.
try this (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/skilled-worker-professional-immigration-b4.0/)
2)Job Offer from Canada, this would be quite tough as everyone prefers local candidate.

You might have got classified as an Electrical Engineer by TWC, and likely Level 4 with 5 years experience as a requirement. If 5 years is really the requirement, and if you are an electrical engineer, or have an EE degree, TWC usually gives this designation. It is difficult to overcome this. Your friends who had lower prevailing wages must have been in different locations or had different occupations, or both. If your lawyer has lots of experience doing PERM, you can probably trust him.

Actually stay outside the country does not constitute towards bench time. So if you are outside country - you are not in bench. One American Consulting company I used to work for way back in 2001 - used to move benched candidates to Canada (if they need to be benched for long time) and then bring them back when they get a project.

Please remember that you may be asked to prove you have a project at POE so when you come back have copies of contract to prove it.

Please verify with an Attorney on my statement above.

Thank you very much for the reply. I did not receive any interview letter. In the approval notice, it was mentioned that it will take 3 weeks.
How long it took for you?

i did it myself... highly recommend it... unless you have good budget or expect the money to be made back real quick...

in most states, first step is to file the articles of incorporation, once articles are approved, you may have to select a board (if you did not set it up in the articles), record the inc with your county recorder, register the inc with IRS (for fein), open a bank account, if your business is retail, register with the state, get a state id number and thats it...

the long process is making all the decisions... who should be your registered agent, how many shares, what initial equity, what address, who are the board members, what purpose of the company etc...

have fun...

I have heard that it is pretty easy and straight forward to incorporate a business using legalzoom.com. I have not tried that myself..

Should not be a problem. I used Cobra while I am on H1 and changed the Employer.

can you please let me know when is the USCIS fee increase is scheduled from?

Also, say for I-485 the fee is 1000, does this fee include for spouse also? Or For spouse, the fee is extra $1000 ie the fee is per applicant or per family

I have the same question for EAD/travel docs
