I have recently moved to Indy. Do you guys want to meet? Count me in whenever you have the next meeting

Mark is from LI. I wonder why he does not show up any more. Has he quit IV?

He is active - he is a big guy now, sometime back, I approached him for his autograph, and he said he does not have time to sign autographs :D:D:D

Jokes apart - Mark is very much in IV. He is involved at the national level more than the State level - he does make sure he is in conference calls and if we have a meetup in his area, he will make it for sure.

It is said that 140 premium takes around 15 days... Is it true that, if there is any query during the premium processing, the 15 day count is not applicable.. I mean it goes back to the normal processing time in case of any query

I am going to send a new Invitation letter will instruct them not to show the documents unless asked for.

Thanks

PD July 2002

Thanks Pointlesswait

I have about 3 months left on H1b. From your post, it seems that I shud file for extension ASAP and if layoff happens...transfer H1..

Did I interpret you correctly?




When you apply for H1 transfer..they transfer the current H1.

If you have more than 6 months on ur H1 you cannot apply for extension..
when you file for transfer.

So better option would be:
a.) Transfer H1...and then file for extension.
b.) Or file for extension and then change jobs...

if you havent filed for 485.. then you have to restart the GC..and recapture your PD.... i used the option B.

hope this helps

At this point no one knows answers to you questions. We have to wait and we will see. Ultimately, USCIS could avoid lots of headaches by accepting all July applications and issuing a new bulletin for August...but we don't know, and nobody knows what will eventually happen.


There is no way USCIS can accept July applications. They said there is no visa available for FY-2007. Now how they will accept more applications? Basis on what? If they accept applications that means they had enough visa available but they did not want to process in which case the a law suit is imminent.

I think you did a great job keeping the focus on the rally instead of sundry topics.
Go rock DC!

If the attorney submitted G-28 for that particular petition (which got the RFE), then only the attorney gets the RFE. But I believe any one can respond to the RFE (yourself or another attorney) along with a new G-28 to change the representation.

DISCLAIMER: I am not an Attorney and this is not a legal advice.
Just want to double confirm, are you sure that if G-28 is filed along with I-485, ONLY lawer receives RFE letter. Can you please point to any official link?

I left my old job where I filed G-28 with I-485. At my new job, HR in immigration department are telling me that there is no need to file G-28 since RFE is received by the applicant. Nor they recommend filing AC21. So no G-28 no AC21

Please guide.

Yes



No. You will need new visa stamp.

I was told if you have valid stamping you do not need get new stamping even if you changed the employer. All you need is to give the new approval notice at the POE.

am I missing somthing here.

Hi
I'm on h1 and also have an EAD
My current job is on my h1. And I have an EAD, but never used it.
Question: Can I work pat time on my EAD and still retain my h1.

Any pros and cons?

Thanks
Tejal

YES. You can. I know atleast 2 of my colleagues doing this. They got 3-year extension with new employer even when more than 6 months are left in the initial 6 years of H1. This won't be an issue.

What if 6 months are left before my 6 years of H1B expires? Can I still get 3 years extension based on approved I-140 from another company?

Replacement EAD means replacing lost EAD, and only 1-year EAD will be issued. Most people apply for EAD renewal, which is OK for 2-year EAD.

Send you a PM. Please reply back at your earliest.
Thx

There is nothing illegal about working part-time using EAD while working full-time on H1B. It has nothing to do with last entry into US. In fact, EAD has nothing to do with entering US. To enter US, you need either a valid visa or valid AP. IO won't even ask you about your EAD.

EAD and H1B are mutually exclusive. If you are maintaining proper H1 status (ie, have a valid H1 status and working full-time for the job for which you have H1), it is completely legal to do flip burgers or drive cabs using EAD to supplement your income. It does not affect H1 status. I have confirmed this with multiple attorneys on multiple occasions.

I sumited my wife's & my I140 and I485 together in this July 2nd, 2007. I'm the primary applicant and in EB3 category. I already got receipt and the requesting for fingerprinting. If i file a divorce now does it going to have any effect on my processing?

this is very important.
Sad to see this friend. I dont think it affects principal candidate's processing but dependant's processing may be in trouble.

No reason to deny your 7th year H1 extension based on the fact that it is for a different role. It DOESNT have to be "same or similar" for this case.

But the "same or similar" comes into picture for your 485 approval. Well........ at that time ... if the original LC position is still available for you permanently, no issues.

What happens to the GC petition? I guess that is probably also Amit's concern in the long term

Hi,

1. I have my I-140 approved, applied for I-485 and have EAD/AP
2. Spouse has her own H1-B, and applied for I-485, based on my I-140, and has EAD/AP
3. Both have 6 years of H1-B expiring later this year (both from different companies)

I can extend my H1-B based on pending applications.
QUESTION 1: Can my wife extend her H1-B (beyond 6th year) based on her pending I-485?


My present H1-B expires in November, but I will probably get my new H1-B renewed by June. I intend to travel in September. I don't intend to go for visa stamping and not use my AP. This is because I have a valid stamp until November.

Question: When I am at the port of entry, I will have my old H1-B valid for 2 more months and also the visa stamp valid for 2 more months, but a new H1-B I-797 is already approved. Will this cause a problem?


Thanks.

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my questions.

My husband and I are British, not sure if that slows things up or down :)

Thanks again for all your help.

Guys, this is another great reason of why to change your mind and ATTEND THE RALLY! Let's force CNN to put us on their screens and laugh in Lou Dobbs' face! We can at least reply to his lies in a forceful yet peaceful and educated way (something he isn't!)

One thing I don't understand is how come this guy used the words bastard, communist china(all the time),cheap labor for computer programmers and he is so full of himself. Why does he have problem if US borrows flights from russia to transport vehicle?

Guess this guy needs serious help and be instutionalized for a very long time.

I dont mean to offend you but ability to file I-485 when the numbers have retrogressed is all it take to alleviate a majority of our problems, that is in the agenda and SKIL bill currently in house and approved by senate in CIR.

So if SKIL bill gets passed we should be fine, but when is a big question ???
