It takes minimum of month and based on load it might take 2 months.

Myself and my wife were discussing on this and there are also some contradicting results from the vaccine.So a vaccine no long enough in the market , whose resukts not yet agreed completely by all the doctors shud not be mandated for anyone ,not just immigrants.

I just got the H1 Approval for 1 year and 2 months (1 year H1 Extension and 2 months recapture time). I am currently in Malaysia and need to apply for a visa at US Consulate in Malaysia. Since I am on the H1 visa, I have to show the proof that I will return back to Malaysia after the end of my work period in US. Accordingly, I would need to purchase the round trip ticket. The issue is that the plane ticket only valid for the maximum of 1 year, but my visa valid for 1 year and 2 months. Please advise if one way plane ticket would be sufficient for the visa interview or need to be a round trip plane ticket. If it is not, what should I do? Also, I wonder if the application package including I-129 submitted to USCIS need to be stamped “Certified True Copy” with the original signature of the lawyer or employer for the visa interview. Can I use the copy one that is stamped “Certified True Copy” with the non-original signatures of my lawyer or employer? Anybody pls help. Thank you very much.

Don't worry too much. H1Bs are not required to show proof to return to home country or at least the consulates won't worry too much about it. The care about your education, skills and their validity.

The visa is for work purpose and you will be out of status once it expires, and that will cause too much trouble if you overstatyed.

There is no "Certified True Copy", all of them have numbers taged and they can verify things internally.

Just take what you have been given by your employer/lawyer to the consulate, and you will get it without much headace.

Good Luck.

How did you guys find out your Name Check Status. Do we have to call USCIS to check for this or is there any other way to confirm this.

thanks,

Infopass is one way (only if you are lucky)

Could someone here take the responsibility to organize the first confrence call for all TX members? pls get together on a conf call and discuss action items.

Good Luck

I got my approval y'day from TSC. This marks the end of GC journey. Been with same employer since Aug 1999 ( 9 Long years...........).

Congrats and Best Wishes

Here is what I understand, but make sure you seek professional opinion before making any move.

He can simply submit another I-485 as the derivative of your application. Of course that can only happen when your PD becomes current. He does not have to withdraw his own application. If he gets GC as your derivative, his other I-485 will automatically become invalid.

Sending a new 485 as derivative means new fee too. RFE suggests that case is active in some way. Therefore, there is no harm in sending a second letter about the relationship, including marriage certificates etc, with A# and Receipt # references of both (these are the only two references in their system, PD's are only on paper). Best..

I don't know what else to say and I am wondering how ignorant you could be. Even 2008 October bulletin will not be current for EB2 India (cutoof date may not be even Dec 05) with the current 140,000 visas per year.

Hi My Application alongwith my wife and daughter reached NSC on July 2 and signed by J. Barett. Till date (Oct 30 - 2007) I have not received any information. Its over 4 months and whenever I call USCIS they are asking me to wait. I think my application is lost.
My lawyer had sent 25 applications in one packet 22 of them got receipts except the three for me, my wife and daughter.
Will I be able to refile? Lawyer has Fedex Receipt....

We need every member in the tri state area to attend this. Please show your support

As per my understanding, since you filed for 485 before August 17, 2007 you have to pay renewal fees for EAD/AP. ONLY if you have filed for 485 after August 17 2007 you don't have to pay renewal fees for EAD/AP.

What matters here is when you filed your 485. It does not matter when you applied for EAD/AP as these are based on your 485.

Hi Prasadn,

Thanks for the reply. That sucks if I have to pay again::((

I read somewhere that if we apply with the latest fees, we dont have to pay again.

Can any one else please confirm?

Regards

i was on h4 visa and recently as i turned 21 i am no more dependent on my dad who is on h1 visa . i tranfered my status to f1 .But my dad applied his 1-485 recently along with my application for i-485 and he consult the lawyer too and lawyer told as i am not the main visa holder like if i was on h1 and i transferred to f1 and then apply for i-485 then my application can get rejected ; but not now as i was not the main applicant but was dependent of my father.

i dont trust everything wat lawyers say.so can anybody help me out with this issue.

To my understainding if your dad applied your AOS application before you turned to 21 then you are ok.

Consult another attorney

as per IRS - OP is on EAD not on H1B. I-9 form is sent to the Pay-roll company , they report the legal work status to IRS. If you have filled EAD on I-9 your legal work status is EAD and not H1b.
OP does not have a F-1 EAD? clearly says he used AC21 whcih can only be used for employement based EAD.
Our admin dept gets alert from Pay roll company when EAD validity is close to expiration. When I use EAD, USCIS does not know if I am using EAD untill I file a EAD renewal. there is a question in EAD renewal form - current status - H1B or AOS pending.
If you want to remain on H1B- you have to go out of country - enter as h1B and also inform pay-roll about your new status.
you might want to double check this info from valid source :)

By far the best response to the question posted. I gave you a green. :)

Really! ... dude go around and look at forum, than tell me how every other post is 100% directed towards Immigration.

If you had read the link, you would have been educated on avoiding scams that could happen with you or your loved ones in future. Next time pay attention before you reply!

No where in the news piece it's mentioned that he is on Indian origin. Your headline says - Indian Origin doc.................

MAC

By the way, I got my EAD. I don't want to spend money

You can start to earn money instead by filling those stupid forms for somebody else... You got EAD, open you secondary business....:D

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?

Prashanthi was there on chat for 30 min and as no one turned up to ask questions she left. She will be available for chat every Thursday at 9.30 PM EST.

Oh no missed it, i will surely be online next thursday to talk to the attorney.

Thanks Prashanti
What is the approximate time for the perm labor to get approved in current situation? I know we can apply for premium processing for I-140. Premium processing is 3 months?
Please let us know when you get a chance.

I think you are absolutely right. Starting a business without a partnership is nearly impossible because you will be violating the H1 by working for it.

However, if you go into a partnership, that will be like owning stocks of a company. You don't have to work for it.

But you raise a good point about tax return scrutiny when you go for stamping. They can ask how you were making business income.

Has anyone here run a business on H1? What are the tax implications?

I have looked into this and talked to my lawyer. The basic consensus seems to be -- yes you can start your own business (wither alone or in partnership with someone else). But as long as you are on H1B VISA and do not have at least an EAD, you cannot actively(which means you cannot be running the day to day operations) work on your business. You can promote the business perform occasional volunteer work, but cannot be paid for this work.

I believe you can derive profits from the business (check with your lawyer because he's the one who will have to deal with any USCIS headaches), but as with all things, if the profits are high enough, your business may be scrutinized by the USCIS. Also remember when you go to the consulate to stamp your H1B, they will examine your tax records, and you will have to have a good enough explanation as to how you owned the business without violating the H1B status (by actively working on it). It's tricky and unless you are talking about small amounts of money think very carefully about starting your own business.

Since you cannot actively run the business, it makes sense to partner with a person who is authorized to run the day to day operations of the business (either a citizen of the US or a perm resident).
