What annoys me, is that the consulate delays the visa stamping and also keeps the passport. Seems to me that they deliberately keep the passport so that the candidate doesnt travel back on the AP. I was in similar situation in March 08 at the Mumbai consulate, after waiting for around 45 days I travelled back on the AP(back then they had not taken my passport)
Let us what happened to your cousin when you receive updates from him. Is he working as a consultant (paid by his employer) and working elsewhere ?

My current reporting structure with my employer is:
Client -> Prime Vendor -> Consultant X -> My employer

Another consultant is ready to transfer my visa and the reporting structure there is

Client -> Prime Vendor -> My employer

A prime vendor (not the same client) is also ready to transfer my visa

Client -> My employer


I am planning to transfer it to either (or both) of the above two companies. Will there be a problem in those two companies filing for a tranfer at (approx) the same time?

Is there a way I can ask an attorney directly (I am willing to pay for that service)

Thanks a lot.

As they just started I-140 premium processing, I wonder why they cannot initiate 3rd stage premium processing.

I wouldn't mind spending a couple thousand dollars if I can get the actual green card in a couple of weeks after starting the 3rd stage. Time is money. If I can buy it, I will buy it.

I don't think it is very constructive to repeat the same story to the congress, which they are not tuned to. We'd better make various suggestions from many different angles so that they can pick at least some of them in a timely manner.

As long as you meet the requirements for EB5 (500K in approved areas/ 1M in rest)

you should be good. They don't need the 140 and if you haven't applied for 485 then it doesn't matter.

Also did u know it is a conditional GC (just like when u marry USC you get a conditional GC) after 2 yrs you need to apply for removal of conditions by proving you met all the EB5 requirements.

Yes that is correct. Any particular reason why you're bothered about whether the RD is Friday or Monday?

I like this shot but two questions: Should I have more DOF on the string of flowers and is there too much flash? Any other thoughts appreciated.

This is where the lawyer comes in. Or someone who has been through this can describe his experience.

As long as your resume and experience letters match you with the Labor, you are good. eb3 is less riskier than eb2.

For peace of mind, you can get a second opinion from another attorney by having him match your profile with the substituted Labor.

Technically, it is the date when LC application is received by USCIS. Most of the time, it is the same as filing date but not always.

hello experts..

My husband and I are working on H1B visa.My husband has filed for Green card..

Now my question is at what stage in my husdband's Green card process, will I be eligible for the visa extension
if 6 years on H1B are over??

If I also file for the green card, I get labor cleared and just in case I lose the job.Then what options I have
for visa extension?If I join another company do I have to have again labor cleared to get additional visa extension
at the completion of 6 year?what happens to priority date,can I use earlier GC filing priority date?

Many thanks..

Hi all,

This is for my friend who got his 3 year H1- B extension recently.
He planned to visit India for stamping and already booked the air ticket + consulate appointment.

But the Visa validity start date in his I-797A is incorrect. He joined this company only in 2006 but the start date shown in I-797A is sometime in 2001.
Though the END date is correct, Is it going to cause any problem in his Visa stamping?
He got only 2 weeks to fly and skeptical about the turnaround timeframe to file for correction.

His lawyer says it is a very minor problem and will not affect the visa stamping.

Please share any similar experiences / ideas.

Thanks a lot

Hello All,

When I was doing my education (MS) my credit dropped drastically and recently like 2 years back it went for collections too. However I cleared all my credit card debts but it still shows on the credit report that as severe deliquencies and number of open accounts.

Next month I'm applying for AOS - I want to know whether bad credit will have any affect of the approval or denial of the application? :mad:

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks

There was another thread on this change.gov already and we posted some of our stories in there. This I think will work and can be done by all sceptics here.There is no harm in writing abt your story and get their attention to our plight.

I work for an India based company that has operations in US. I have been travelling back and forth between India and US for about 8 years now. I am currently in US. My labor got approved this January (PD 7/2004) and my company has filed I140 soon after that. I still have 2+ years on my H1B. I am having to transfer back to India soon and shall be based in India for more than a year. What are the considerations if one has to return back to his/her country after I140 is filed? What is the impact on whole GC process? You response is appreciated.
Thanks.

Dear All:
I am currently in my 7th year on H-1B (with I-140 approved) and my H-1B Visa expired a year ago and my current I-94 valid until next 2 years (same case for my dependants).

I am switching my employer now and my family is planning to goto India and when they go for visa stamping through my new employer - do you think they will get into the trouble because my visa (with old employer) is already expired?

And FYI - myself/my fmaily already had US Visas stamped for atleast 4-5times already in the past through various employers.

The primary applicant's H1-B status must be valid for the dependent to get H-4 VISA stamp. The primary's own VISA stamp is not an issue.

My employer sent the documents for my H1b extension today to USCIS and they applied it through premium process, can anyone please let me know how many days it will take to get the Receipt notice both in Email and hardcopy?

My H1b expires on Dec 15th 2010 and if I wont get my receipt notice by than can I stay in US legally or should I have to leave US?

Please let me know your suggestion.

H1b extension Receipt Notice issue time in PP

Hello,

I am here on a H1B visa and my wife is on a H4 Visa. She has recently been admitted to a masters program and would start going to school soon.

1. We want to get a F1 visa for her, so that she can get paid for some work in the campus. Would it be possible to get the F1 visa in Canada. Does anyone have any recent experience on getting this done ?
2. Say we not apply for a visa but only apply for a change of status and do not even go to India or anywhere else before the completion of her program. After that she would go on an OPT. If we go to India then, would it not be a problem in getting a F-1 visa, as her education would already be complete. Does it mean that she should get her visa stamped before she completes her education.

Thanks,
Gaurav
