Might be a good idea to register on your wifes name and get her to work for the company.

Hello All,

I need your advice. My H1B for first 3 years is expiring in Sep 09. I am a consultant and my project is till June 09. So I will be on bench after that till I get a new project. So if I have to file for extension should i file it now when I am in project or should i wait.
When I asked my employer about filing extension, they told that they are getting lot of queries these days. They even told be if my project is getting over early then its difficult to get an approved extension as these days they even have to send the contract letter of clients which do states that when my project is going to end.
So i need to know what are my options.
When Should I file for extension and is there any other options.

Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for reply. If I-94 issued for 1 year, suppose we change home address from one state to another state, until what time the driver's license will be issued(most of the states check the I-94 validity end date)? will it be only 1year till the I-94 expires? If yes, what is the process of renewing the driver's license after one year.

Thanks

Morchu,

Thank you so much for your help. Really appreciate your help.

So basically while I'm waiting for the priority date to become current, I can legally work aborad for several years without any harm to my GC application at all. When the priority date becomes current, I'll just need to come back to the U.S. to file I-485.

Is that correct? Sorry for keeping asking. Just want to make sure before I make this major decision.

How are you planning to celebrate and what is your new year resolution?

party like the world is going to end in 2012 and there are only 2 more NewYear's Eve left in this world....

Party in TimesSquare in NYC...!!!

Now if I want to go back to Company A, do I need to transfer my H1B again?
Company A has not cancelled my H1 and I am in good terms with them.
Even if A didnt cancel H1 the comp A will have to apply for transfer.

I am currently working for Company-A, holding a H1B till 30/09/2012 (approx 1 yr/5 months time left), with the approved I140 and labor (Priority date EB2 Oct 2008).
Now I am thinking to move to other company (Company-B) and the new company is ready to transfer my H1B and start green card processing after 3 months.I had following questions

Q1>Can I move from my present employer to new employer?
If yes will I get New H1B valid till 30/09/2012 or for three more years based on existing approved I140.
Q2>My old employer should not revoke my I140 till my new Labor and I140 get approved with the new employer? (Most likely my old employer (Company �A) is going to revoke the I140 once I leave the company). So will that be any problem for me?

Specifically problem in following scenarios,
a. Porting my priority date for future GC application (Company-B) with revoked old 140(From Company-A).
b. If i am going to get extension only till 30/09/2012 and
if my new GC doesn�t clear new 140 stage by then ( which is highly possible looking at current market conditions and the timeframe when my labor is going to get applied (Easily 8-9 months from now)) Can i get 3 years extension at that stage using revoked 140 from company-A?

I feel very jittery about whether to make this move or not. Looking my existing priority date I assume it is easily going to take another 2/3 years to get green card in existing job.

Please reply this post as it will help me alot

Nothing else has changed since i took up this position, same title, salary, location etc.,


Position, title, location and job description are the important variables as far as PERM is concerned. It is your manager's circumstance that changed and not your job situation, so your PERM should not be affected.

OK, I'll lighten it, add the value, and maybe edit the grid size. Thanks for the input ya'll

Based on your approved I-140 if you are eligible to file 485 or get EAD then he can also get EAD.

But using only approved I-140 , then only the beneficiary can get extended.

:lol:

hi guys,

i have a 485 filing question. i'm on EB2, ready to file for 485. however, i am in india on a family matter and will have to return only for the filing. i know it is "sooner the better", but i am trying to figure out how late i can return to US.

i have read on this forum that dates will retrogress in august. any informed people out there know how likely that is?

also, if i have to make it there in july to file 485, any idea about how long after filing i need to stay in the US before i can return back to india? i mean, any rules which say you cannot travel before such-and-such happens?

thanks in advance, and sorry if the above are dumb questions.
No one can tell you what will happen next month or 2 months from now.The best day to file 485 is July 2nd.

Once USICS receives your app they will send out a document for finger printing.You should take a infopass appt and go to a local USCIS office to be finger printed.
The time frame to receive this document ranges anywhere from a month to 2 or more.

Please close the thread if it is non sence.

Just thaugt to have a idea about how many people have missed this opprtunity.

MY PD is EB2 June 7 2006.

MC

Any Reason you said why only June 2006 PD has missed the opportunity?

Why not whole of 2006 from Jan to June 2006?

Just curious

If Indian Govt asks for more PR / GC numbers make sense. with current economic status rather asking for more H1B numbers.

Guess more pressure from Big guys like Wipro / Infosys / TCS for this on Indian govt.

Thank you so much for all of your help

Hi Folks,

Please suggest how safe is it to travel on previous employer's visa stamp and new approval notice....

Also, what happens if your previous employer cancels your visa, can u still use the same stamp...

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Ever heard of the adage - 'Too many cooks spoiled the broth'. If every one here starts creating their own 'Action Items' here, confusion will abound - which one is Official (IV sponsored) and which is is proposed by an individual member!

If you're interested in creating 'Action Items' of your own - join the State Chapters, share your ideas with other members and chapter leaders. If there's enough support for it in the group, chapter leaders will take it up with the Core. Once sanctioned by the core, it will become a real 'Action Item' on IV.

Lets follow this process, for the benefit of all and to avoid confusions.
