Guys:
Does anyone know what is the current count on H1-B Visas left for the year 2006-07 ?

I know I may sound stupid and probably the answer is that it is already complete, but wanted to confirm.

Also, when would the next years quota become available and when can one start working at the earliest ?

Is there any other way to file for H1-B now and work..?

Thanks

Quota is already used up!
You may start applying as early as April for employment beginning in October.
Other way to file for H1B is to find a cap-exempt employer such as a non-profit.

Hi,
is it absolutely safe to travel with pending i 485 app with valid h1b stamping with receipt notice and completed fp.?we are kind of confuded whether to plan for the travel...We have not yet received the actual advance parole. i read somwhere that if u leave the country wth pending i 485 but without ap ur appl is considered abandoned.is this true.?..we have the option to change the trip to apr too.In a nutshell is it completely safe to travel on 485 pending appl without ap with valid stamping.?:confused:
Has any1 wth the same situation has gone and come back without any issues?
Gurus ur input s greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Whats your PD? If you are on H1, have a stamping and already have the 485 receipt, the only possible issue with travel is if your 485 gets approved when you are abroad. People have still managed to enter on H1 as PoE officer apparently does not realize about your 485 approval.

If its a recent PD, then no issues, you can travel (Actually my lawyer told me I can travel even without getting the 485 receipt, but thats apparently a bit of a grey area)

We need people from the various congressional districts from MA, NH, VT, ME and RI to get in touch with us. This is in order to talk to the congressmen \ congresswomen and make them aware of our issues. We need to make them understand.

Hello Greensignal,

NSC is processing EB-3 based I-140 cases as of 6th April 2007, as per latest processing time release by USCIS. When did you file your I-140 in NSC?

Regards

I filed on August 15th 2007 and Receipt date is Oct'12

I'm a mechanical engineering and also have an MBA degree.
I work as a support engineer.
My lawyers tell me that I cannot apply in EB2, since my Post grad degree is unrelated to my grad degree and so does not apply to my job.

Is this true?
Can I not file in EB2?

If you can justify that the minimum requirements for a SUPPORT engineer is a MBA then you can go for EB-2. Else it will be EB-3.

I have similar issue and spoke to my Immig Attorney, who advised me as follows-

(1) In order to maintain your resident alien status, you should be in USA more than 181 days, in other words it is adviseable to stay less than 180 days outside USA.

(2) It is adviseable that you return to USA, ASAP, once you get CRIS email that GC approval has been provided.

(3) I believe you are going to use AP. You would prepare your I-94 card at the POA and the POA officer would ask you where you are employed before putting stamp on I-94. Be prepared to answer that question. Most likely 99%, the POE IO will not ask any proof. However, it is adviseable to have a current job (sort of Employment Verification Letter) and leave letter approval.

All the best.

Yes your employer can apply L1 visa for you again.

You should have asked before filing for an extension or do a search at USCIS Home Page (http://www.uscis.gov) you would have come across the below:
USCIS - Special Situations (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f34d3e4d77d73210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=f34d3e4d77d73210VgnVCM100000082ca60a RCRD)

I don't know if you can get the fee back since the extension has been approved. Next time, ask when you are not sure.

I saw the democratic candidate debate yesterday, he does not look like he has a remote chance to stand up to her. She has this multi million dollar agenda and the good people of Arizona have bought into this BS. Sadly, she will be elected again.

Guys

Thanks for your responses.

Yes but I was thinking, spouse and children are counted in family based visas and how exempting them will benefit EB visas. Correct me if I'm wrong. :confused:

At present the dependents are counted in the EB cap...So the number 140K for EB is principal applicant+dependents combined...This bill exclude all dependents of EB from any cap...(But the country limits still apply I guess)...

FB and EB cap got nothing to do with each other..

Hi STAMisha,
I sent you a message and also sent an e-mail. i went thorugh ur previous posts and it seems we are pretty much on the same boat.

plz check ur mail and call me at ur convenience. we will talk in detail.

You are travelling at the end of June, that means nearly 5 months from now
Here are my opinion

1) Since you are extending your H1B right now, Why can't yoy apply for premium processing?

2) Mean while Apply for EAD also. You will get in 90 days

3) For AP you can take infopass or call Customer Service -- Normally AP gets approved in 30 days. Check other threads also where others have used infopass to Expedite the case

The key might be that your current employer should be able to give you some kind of letter that details your job duties, etc.

If this letter can allude to the duties in your original labor that's all your attorney would need to make your case.

Here are the dates of the job ad and my manager is thinking about submitting my LC on Sept 18 or 19 and not sure if we have waited enough time to be able to file. Thanks.

State Work Force Services: July 16 to August 16
Yahoo HotJobs: July 18 to August 16
University Alumni Placement: July 23 to August 23
Newspaper: July 20 and July 27
Notice of Filling: July 28 to Present (can be removed anytime)
Company website: July 21 to Present (can be removed anytime)
Professional Org: July 18 to Present (Total 60 days)

I believe that we have advertised the job ad on enough sources, but could you please let me know if I am missing anything? Thank you for your time.

This is good question and I am too interested to know answer from gurus. Thanks.

IV,

Please start a webfax campaign in support of the Amendment S.1249, being co-sponsored by senators Maria Cantwell (D-Wash), John Cornyn (R-Tex.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Orrin Hatch (R-Pa.), and Robert Bennett (R-Utah).

There is no use just opposing the existing bill without proposing what we want actually.

I must say it made me spend some time to figure out what it is. Initially I thought it was something square floating in a container of water or a pond. Then I studied it for 30 sec. or so and realized it's a waterfall. Then I found myself really studying it to grasp what you're showing. From the "does it catch your eye and hold you" perspective, it worked for me. From the "this is a beautiful shot that I have to print and hang on a wall, I'd probably vote no. But I am going to go back and look at it a second time because I'm intrigued.

When we use the recent I94 (from the H1), do we need to say "were you inspected by an immigration officer?" as "yes"?
The start date for this should be the date of entry at the airport or the start date on the recent I94?

You were inspected by the immigration officer thats how you got the I94, there is no I-94 vending machines out there, atleast that I know of.

Your second question is not clear. Ur Date of Entry is ur start date of the I-94, so whats the question.

I have done it in the past.No problem at all.
