I had 3 of my co-workers in IV and they are no longer here. What ever i did before for IV is with the help of the university students and most of them i know left after their graduation or ready to leave in the next few months.

As always there are other members who are in IV and they do not want to participate in the IV activities. All they want is to get the information from IV forums.

I suggest to go with extension. U can file for extension 6 months before the expiry of H1. so Apply in next month (if applying in regular) or in oct or nov (if applying in premium). Passport expiry may not be an issue for extension.

In my case, i have applied for extension(in regular process) 5 months before existing H1 expiry, where as my passport is just valid for 2 months after existing H1 expiry date. Didn't face any issues in getting approval.

May be u need to check with Attorney for one scenario where due to RFE if the extension is pending beyond 5 or 6 months..

Based on my experience I'm suggesting this.. better check attorney or experts also.

tom friedman doesn't know about the details of this issue..... for him immigration means more h1b visa..... he doesn't have a clue @ gc mess...... there r others who have done research on this subject.... but those studies did not get as much attention.... maybe others need to come up with a shape... lets pick one.... lets say "earth is rhombus".... and then publish these reports... that might help catch some attention....

"THE CHILDREN OF H-1B VISA HOLDERS
At the 2004 Intel Science Talent Search, the nation’s premiere science competition for top high school students, the National Foundation for American Policy conducted interviews to determine the immigration background of the 40 finalists. The results: two-thirds of the Intel Science Talent Search finalists were the children of immigrants. And even though new H-1B visa holders each year represent only 0.03 percent of the U.S. population, it turns out more of the children had parents who entered the country on H-1B visas than had parents born in the United States. In other words, if critics had their way, many of the coming generation’s top scientists and engineers would not be here in the United States today – because we never would have allowed in their parents."

I wanted hear another opinion apart from my own. It surely did help.Thank you.
I don't believe leaving the company that you had signed an I-9 form with have any impact on your GC app as long as you have a same or a similar job lined up if and when you do get an RFE regarding the same.

As mentioned several times, GC is for future employment and you can switch employers as many times as you want under AC21 (of course you don't want to go overboard with switching employers every few months either :)).

I hope this helps - again this is my understanding of the law and not a legal opinion.

:mad:I have another query and thats is i have a a far related cousin and her husband is on l1 visa . now my query is what visa is she on and what visa is her daughter on who was born here few months bak . also how shud she apply for a passport for this kid . is this kid an american citizen and also how to go about passport for the kid and also is it required to apply for visa for the kid to travel to India . Another serious issue she is been illtreated by her husband and how should she report this matter to the local police here .

* She is on L2.

* The kid is an American citizen. you can get a passport done at your local post office. Kid needs either visa, or PIO card to travel to india.

* Ask her to call her local police station (or even 911) and report this to the police (unless he has been physically abusive, she can probably tell him the next time he misbehaves she'll go to the police. Explain that a police record could mean lots of problems for him, going all teh way from GC, to getting a future job etc. If he does not shape up or has been physically abusive, then have her contact the police.)

L1 visa is granted to people who have worked in the home country for the sponsoring company before coming to US. So, if you have worked in XYZ bangalore, you can get an L1 from XYZ to come to US. However, you are obviously working in the US for your present employer, so how could you have worked for the other company in the home country (Example - India)??

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.

My Personal experience was:
- When my H1B was filed for the first time it had a wrong Date of Birth, lawyer asked me to bring Birth Certificate to the Interview at the consulate. I did not have problems with the stamping of the visa.
When my extension was filed , again, Date of Birth was wrong. Lawyer told me the same thing. Get recent Birth Certificate and bring it to the Interview.

Did not have any problem at all.

Hi,

My attorney had filed our 485 at Nebraska SC on July 30th. She didnt file EAD & AP.
On August 10th I myself filed EAD & AP at Nebraska SC. I got receipts for AP. For EAD, they have sent back our docs saying that 765 has been filed with improper fee (guy who picked the file is not aware of July VB fee valid till Aug 17th). So I have sent back the documents with a cover letter stating we come under July VB, after a week they sent back the packet again with same reason to file with proper fee of $340. I dont want to waste time and energy.. so this time I have sent $340 and after a week on Oct1 we got receipts for EAD.

Mean while I called USCIS to check the status of my 485 and luckily got the receipts numbers from them. The file has been transferred to Texas.

My questions are:
1.The received date on the EAD receipt is stated as September 27th. But the very 1st time we filed was August 10th. So would they treat our file as that filed on August 10th or Sep 27th???
2.My EAD & AP are at Nebraska and 485 is at Texas..would that cause any delays..concerns?

Anyone been thru such experience. Please throw some light.

Thanks in Advance

True enough, Dixie. I was hoping that other affected parties would become aware of this site through digg. Even one more contribution through this promotion would be worth it, I think.

How old is he? Are you sure you filled out every item?

He is 3 years old and we verified every thing...lawyer also verified.

i know you are coming - that's why i was reminding you :D

by updating the profile you will get lobby day announcements etc

I sent you an pm back!

One moron has put the following comment...

"something to put on immigration forum...bcoz just see some indian name."

You moron open your eyes....this is the immigration forum and this news shows something innovative and an immigrant is doing. More over its in the interesting topic.

They might have moved all non - preadjuicated files to NSC. TSC has nothing to process so may be close to current in processing time.

NSC will be overloaded though..

Are there any rules that you need to leave a country during 30 days after your H1-B got approved. Almost all my friends needed but my lawyer said that I don't need to. I am confused what if he makes a mistake.

Thanks

He has a 6 years of post qualification experience in india (after ca and ) and now he has 6.5 years of experience in US. (Total post qualification experience is 11-12 years)

Hi All,

Joined California based consulting company in mid 2006, got project in Maryland(MD). Worked in Maryland but CA company ran payroll on CA address. I have LCA for Maryland. End of year,2006 filed tax filing with CA state.

Project went till February,2008 they are running my pay stubs,W2 with CA address. I filed CA tax returns for year 2007 but stayed in Maryland.

Now my questions is I�m present in Maryland(LCA) but pay stubs,W2 are showing CA address. In demographic information form(g-325) which I address I need to use. Should I go with physical address(Maryland) or W2 address(CA).

I have no idea how to go about this, can you please advice how to present my case.

Thanks,
Sampath.

In G325, you should specify the address where you lived. On the other hand, though your W2 says CA address, you should have filed taxes with Maryland and filed taxes with CA as non-resident.

Hi Every one,

I'm on OPT right now ,i'm done with my masters in DEC 2007.

My visa Stamp in my passport was only untill april 2008(I got F1 stamped only for 24 months), now i'm on OPT extension.I applied H1B in 2008 and got RFE my employer could not answer the RFE and revoked my petition.

I did't apply in 2009 even i have chance to apply(because of the JOB fear ) i got my OPT extension approved ,my OPT extension is going to end in June 2010 , any way i will be applying H1B in 2010.

My question is if i don't get H1B in 2010 ,my plan i to take CPT and search for jobs ,does it effects my future immigration any way.

Thanks in advance for every one.
