I browsed the site gtrr.net you mentioned. I applied and also tried to contact the numbers few times but not getting any response.

I am currently in US on H4. I am qualified teacher and also worked in India. Regarding my qualifications I completed B.Ed and MSc from India. I am looking for applying for H1 this year. I really appreciate if you can give some details regarding any companies that can file for H1B for teachers.

In NJ this is how it has been for last few years.

Congrats ! I guess the 3 green card is a magic number as mine was 10 yrs stay and 3 GC applications as well.

Did you receive the I-797 approval letter and at which service center was your case approved at.

Thanks

Nope did not getthe I-797 yet, just an e-mail from USCIS. This was at NSC

Did you get your physical green card? Have you completed your FP?

My attorney is taking his sweet ass time.. so mine will be around 10th..

Any gurus can answer this question?

While taking a VISA appointment , there is a question which says "Are you applying for same visa class that expired in the last 12 months?"

Here are my doubts

1. I had a H1 B VISA which expired in May 2007 processed by my previous employer. As I am applying for the same VISA class , but though a differnt employer, should the answer be 'YES'?

2. Since my daughter will be appearing for the H4 VISA interview for the FIRST TIME, Is she also eligible to come along with me if I choose "YES" to the question "Are you applying for same visa class that expired in the last 12 months?".

Thanks in advance.

sintax thanks so much! i like the avatar a bit more, but i like both! and i took the pic of the flower outside of my house, i cant belive how well it came out! like professional.

Yes, they take all copies - SSN, I797, passport everytime the license has to be renewed. More frustrating thing is they only issue a paper license which is valid only for 30 days and the card is mailed in 3-4 weeks from Tallahassee (State capital) after they perform immigration & background check. This paper license can't be used for ID purposes.

The 30-day paper license thing has been there since 2002, when I first applied. The "Temporary" label came I think about one and a half to two years back.

ok. Any other suggestions?.
I think you should go to lawyer and resolve this.

Thank you RoseBall for your response. Definitely will do. One thing I want to emphasise. I'm sure rejection happened in Feb/October 2007 due to some other reason. Because USCIS did not ask for my either past employment history or paystubs.Do you have any idea of any grace period like 30 days after H1B expiration date to file for extension?

Hello diptam,
I am on H1 with AOS pending. I will be applying for H1 extension for first time. Could you give me a link for the procedure and documentaion. My period expires on Sept 2008.
Thanks

Contact the USCIS Ombudsman's office directly. http://www.dhs.gov/ximgtn/programs/editorial_0497.shtm
If you search online you should be able to find the telephone number for the main switchboard at DHS in Washington and then ask for the ombudsmna's office. You will probably need to submit your problem in writing with supporting documentation. Weve had a problem where USCIS made an error and have been dealing with the ombudsman's office for over a year. Patience is needed and followup on a regular basis. Eventually the problem will be escalated to senir USCIS staff in Washington for resolution. Be tenacious!

Yes you can apply today , per Aug bulletin it's all "U" , forgot about that !!!!
it will remain U until mid Sept when Oct Vb comes out....with a lotta surprises..

There is an issue. You have to make a trip to the local police station every six months to register your child. If you're lucky, the officials will be polite and helpful and do this without fuss. But knowing India very well, they're more likely to create a fuss till you've bribed them. Also, now they know where your child lives and the fact that he/she is a US citizen. Who knows, what kind of people they will pass on this information to...

Conspiracy theories aside, the whole procedure reeks of the way sex offenders have to register with the police in the US - I just don't like it.

So this Police station registration is if the child starts to live in India or when the child visits India? Where is this rule documented?

If such rules exist, then there should be a formal complaint with the nearest Consulate General. They are reasonable people.

I had my stamping this week in chennai for H1-B (7th year). I work for a reputed company and direct employee with no clients etc... This was my second stamping at this consulate, they asked for I-129 (which was perfect with all the docs provided to USCIS by the attorney) , W2 and employee verification letter. The consular was specifically trying to determine whether there was any vendor or client ,once she determined there was not any the visa was approved and got my passport in 3 days. But i noticed a lot of ppl had tough time if they were working as contractors.

PS : the photos taken at costco are rejected by VFS, better is to get a PPhoto in india or at the consular office. This will save the last minute hassle.

Guys, I've aske this in another board but does anyone know any good attorney in Boston area who can handle WOM/ AC21 like stuff?

My company lawyer doesn't even bother to reply my e-mail!!!! Thats Todd and Weld

please reply in case you need more info

I keep reading about how immigrants are important and pay taxes and contribute to the economy so they should be given rights/important and all that. There was even a thread that said if GCs were given to EB based immigrants the housing problem could be solved because of this buying power. STOP IT.
The US does not need you, you need the USA. No one put a gun to your head and told you to come to the USA, you chose. You need to follow the tax laws so roads and other sevices you come to this country for can be maintained. Your buying power is less than 1% of the US economy. The laws do NOT prohibit you from buying property here so you can buy a house without GC.
So STOP trying to potray it like you are doing a favor to the USA. Be realistic and solve the real problems instead of trying to find loopholes of hw to get the US govt. to give you GCs.

Actually it was before July 30 that you could send it to either service center, but like I said earlier, with all the internal transfering that's going on, hopefully you'll be ok.

I found this link, please see and tell me what is your interpretation:

http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/UpdateDirectFiling062107.pdf

The effective date of the �Direct Filing� instructions for all of forms I-129F, I-131, I-140, I-360, I-485,
I-765 and I-907 is July 30, 2007, and coincides with the effective date of the fee increase for all immigration benefit applications and petitions. During the first 30 days of �Direct Filing� (July 30 to August 28), USCIS will not reject any form incorrectly filed at the prior filing location. However, applicant must include the correct fee and must meet all other requirements for a proper filing. Beginning on or after August 29, 2007, USCIS will reject any of the forms listed above that are filed with the incorrect filing location. Those rejected and returned forms will include the fee and instructions for proper filing.
Effective July 30, 2007.

Please share your opinion about this....I really want to make sure that I'm safe.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks everybody for the responses.

Make sure you keep a record of the AR11 confirmation number after submitting. USCIS is pretty bad at updating the records. So it is good to prove that you have done your part by showing the confirmation number if necessary.
