Hi

I have valid AP until Oct 16, 2008. I am going out of country between 1st Aug - 31 Aug.

I read that upon return, I will be paroled for validity with 1 year from that date.. i.e 31 Aug, 2009.

Does that mean I will not need AP renewal until 31 Aug, 2009 and I can re-enter US until that date without having to renew AP.?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

My spouse will be in India next week and would be going for her H1B stamping at the Mumbai consulate. She came here on H4 and we applied for her H1B, effective 10/2007, and she has been working since Jan08 and have all her paystubs from that date. Can you share your experience in terms of questions they ask and supporting documents they request in addition to the documents that we are required to carry.

Your reply would be appreciated

Mainly they ask for W2 , tax returns for all years, she was on h1. And you can also send your tax returns for all the other years she was on h4.

Thanks vikram for the speedy response.

Anyone out there with similiar expereince...????

Thanks

Child Protection Act is based on I-140 timing. If by the time of applying for I-140 your son got 21 then no-chance, it's not applicable. If not then some calculation is needed.
When did they apply for I-140. How old was your son at that time? When was it approved?

There wil be light at the end...

This is the reply I got back from my attorney.

My case was filed in Texas Center but Texas couldn't process all the applications so they shipped some of them to California to do initial data entry. Now that California has finished with initial entry, they are sending it back to Texas.

Mostly IV and Immigration committee chair women, but how does it matter now.

I think It matters as what worked this time may also work for future issues like SKIL bill, raising GC quota, etc etc.

Rayoflight,
Thanks much for your quick reply, these is exactly what i was looking for...
really appreciate it sir.

awwww!

Took the words straight out of my keyboard, only i was going to type more w's than that.

We are in an era of US Immigration where a Fashion model work permit bill would have a better chance of clearing the house than a highly skilled immigrants bill.

05/09/2008: Fashion Model P-4 Visa Classification Bill, H.R.4080 Approved by House Judiciary Immigration Subcommittee 05/08/2008

As we reported yesterday, the subcommittee debated this bill and approved this bill for the full Judiciary Committee action of the House yesterday. A small positive news on the immigration legislation!

The OPT 17 month extension rule ran into problems barely a month after it was introduced. The anti-immigrant groups constantly send faxes, emails and snail mail constantly to stop immigrant bills from passing. This frightens the senators and house representatives because they think that majority of United States citizens are agains't immigrant bills while an average United States citizen does not the know the difference between green card and H1 B clearly, leave alone opposing highly skilled immigrant bills.

USCIS makes tons of mistakes but it will try to repeal mistakes if it believes that it has made an error. The CSPA new regulations is an example of USCIS accepting and rectifying its mistakes.

The AC21 act gave an additional visa number pool of approx 130,000 visa numbers which were actually unused EB visa numbers from 1999 and 2000. This is a reserve visa pool that could be used for future fiscal years. HOW CAN A RESERVE POOL BE USED WHEN THERE WERE UNUSED VISA NUMBERS FROM 2000 TO 2005?

http://www.nafsa.org/regulatory_information.sec/regulatory_document_library.dlib/u.s._immigration_system_2/ac21_-_the_american_competitiveness

The solution to our saga is to count the immigrant visa numbers from DHS statistics files of EB visas distribution for each year from 2000 to 2005.If we are unable to get all the information required from DHS statistics files we can put FOIA requests and get the information. Instead of making USCIS doing an audit we can do the audit ourselves and inform USCIS that there are still immigrant visa numbers left from the AC21 act. The good thing about this reserve visa numbers is that they can be rolled over to the the future years. So we can get them issued for the years 2008 and 2009.

I think this is the only solution to our saga.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am probably a unique case. I have a H1B that expires in Sep 2009. I work for a strategy consulting firm and as such advise clients on business/Ops strategy. Therfore most of the time I am on a client site. Recently, I moved my residence outside the US to UK. Given the nature of my work, I am able to commute to US every week to my client offices and then return to UK by end of the week. I sometimes have to go to European destinations and so UK actually helps.All through this I am with the same company on their US payroll (have US pay stubs, leters etc to prove). When I am in US, I stay at one of the hotels.
My question to you is, from a H1B standpoint, do I need to do anything different, especially given I am up for an extension later this year. I have an I 140 approved which will be the basis of a potential 3 yr extension.
Also note, that I get a new I 94 every week at the Port of Entry from the IO, so I have to believe that my case gets reviewed due to this unique situation

Appreciate this offer of yours to help me.
Regards
Eyeswe

thank you

Would going to Canada and re-entering without going for visa stamping count as lawful entry??

Or one has to go and get the visa stamped to qualify as lawful entry??

Also when you go to Canada and come back Without VISA stamping, he gets the same I-94 or different I-94??

Thanks.

You can re-enter from Canada with same I-94 and status as long as trip < 30 days.

Yes, it resets out of status clock.

Cloning sometimes leaves weird patterns. I've had luck putting a loose selection around the cloned area with a big feathered edge, then applying a gaussian blur. It helps "clean up" my new background. The trick is to have a seemless blend between the cloned and the original untouched areas.
Fred

That's a good tip, I'll try that.

Something else I've done is to use several clone stamps with the opacity of the stamp set quite low. What this does is sort of blend in noise to soften up the edges of the clone patterns.

That clears it. Thanks for all your help!!

I have heard this from a couple of my friends who used AP recently to enter the US. The Immigration officer at the POE told them that their AP is now valid from the date it was first stamped. IOW he now has a full additional year to use the AP for travel.

However, I cannot find this documented anywhere on the USCIS site. My AP was issued in Sept 2008 and is valid till Sept 2009 and I used it to return back from India in Dec 2008. However, I plan to renew my AP 120 days before its original expiry date UNLESS a clear rule gets published clearly mentioning that it is valid for a whole extra year following the first use of the AP document.

What happens after the I-485?

I guess I-486:D


Funny. :)

But lets be serious about this guys. Maybe we can be proactive about some stuff here. Most of us got caught unawares with retrogression. I am sure we dont want to make the same mistake this time around.

Anyone out there knows the answer?

I am currently working for Company A which sponsors my H1B. I wonder if I can work for another company on a part time basis. What's the requirement for concurrent H1B filing? And does concurrent H1B filing requires a new H1B application against the quota? Please provide guidance.

I'm constantly amazed at how far I can push a shot through cropping or enlarging or both. My old D30 struggled a bit, but the D60 and 10D (and 300D as you've shown) have enough pixels to extract a lot. The 1D has a "lowly" 4mp, and I didn't expect much from it. DavidP sent me a shot from his 1D to play with, and I enlarged it to a 13x19 print without the pixels even breaking a sweat. Don't we live in a wonderful age for photography?

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The Barack Obama Administration recently announced that border guards at United States Ports of Entry (POE) will begin screening aliens arriving from certain countries based on specific information about threats to the USA. The immigration attorneys at Los Angeles' Fong & Chun immigration law firm are advocates for national security balanced against sensible protections for civil rights. We hope this change will reduce the number of unwarranted, unreasonable, and (usually) unfriendly challenges to certain arriving visitors.

Since the New York terrorist attack in September 2001, the USA has maintained a list of approximately fourteen countries (the so-called "group of fourteen") which are considered to encourage state-sponsored terrorism, or which are believed to provide assistance to terrorists. The US would not even officially name the specific countries, or confirm the exact number of countries, on the list. All citizens of one of these countries -- of any gender, any age, any social class, any educational level, for any reason -- would be subjected to additional interrogation by US Border Guards.

The newly-announced change sets up a system which uses intelligence information and threat assessment -- about specific persons, specific targets, and specific descriptions, to identify passengers who might have a link to terrorism. Quite properly, those persons would be subjected to additional scrutiny. Others who do not meet the more reasoned threat profiles would be allowed to enter the USA in the way of other visitors.

For example: most people in the know would say that the Islamic Republic of Iran was part of the group of fourteen. All citizens from Iran -- absolutely all -- would be pulled aside and interrogated at POEs. Under the new system, if the US has specific information about a 26-year old male Iranian student, or an Iranian woman with a certain name, or even someone with a partial passport number, then persons meeting those descriptions will be pulled aside. This allows border guards to focus their efforts on persons about whom the USA has specific threat-related information. --jcf
