Mike Tyson Tattoos

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.

Hi California members,

There is an IV action item to fight recent practice of USCIS in denying I485 applications in some AC21 cases. For more info, please visit:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22182

It’s a serious issue which can affect many of us, please act now and send letters (letter formats and everything else is ready in the thread quoted above). It will only take a few minutes of your time.

State chapter leader,
Please try to bring attention of your state members to this IV core approved effort.

Thank you.

People applying for tourist visas for the United States in Qatar have greater chance of accessing them than in any other GCC country. Figures released by the US Administration suggest that only 3.2 percent requests for US tourist visas made to the US embassy in Doha were turned down in the FY 2010.

A US government website citing tourist visa (B-Visas) refusal details country-wise said the data were preliminary through September 30, 2010. As for Qatar, the data show this was the lowest percentage of tourist visa refusal in the entire GCC region. The next Gulf state with a lower percentage of rejection was Kuwait (3.6 percent). Bahrain ranked third with a 4.1 percent rejection rate while the percentage for the largest GCC state Saudi Arabia was six.

As for Oman and the UAE, the percentages were higher-8.7 and 9.7, respectively. The GCC states ranked much above their peers in the Arab world like Egypt, Yemen, Sudan and even Iraq. The rate of B-visa rejection in these countries was more than 30 percent.

Somalia topped the list with a rejection rate of almost 70 percent followed by Djibouti (60.2 percent), Yemen (54.3 percent), Mauritania (49.7 percent) and Iraq (42.2 percent). It is interesting to note that the next Arab country after the GCC states with lower refusal percentage was Libya (14.3 percent). Morocco with a refusal rate of 15.5 percent and Tunisia with 15.6 percent rejection ranked next.

Among non-Arab Asian countries, China with a 13.3 percent rejection rate and India with double that percentage fared better than Pakistan (41.6 percent) and the Philippines (38 percent). Sri Lanka (28.6 percent) and Bangladesh (36.4 percent) were much better off as compared to Pakistan and the Philippines. US embassy officials were not immediately available for comment but it is understood that after Qatar Airways introduced flights to major US cities beginning June 2007, tourist visa requests from Qatari nationals as well as expatriates here have multiplied.

She definitely would have issues if plan to travel in TN visa. TN visa is not supposed to have any immigration intent.

The best thing to do is change her status to parolee and start working using EAD. There is no reason for her to continue in TN status, after filing 485.

Hi,

I am Indian national on H1B, waiting on priority date to be current to file for I-485. My wife is currently working on TN visa. Will there be any issue with her being on TN status when I file for adjustment of status (for me and for her together). What options I can consider in advance so that I-485 process will not halt with last minute surprises.

Thanks in advance

You can't.. It's very risky and not worth the trouble.. I tried and got denied.

Is more than 6 yrs of IT experience from a non-computers engg background good for applying for EB2 position? Can you comment from your experience.

You have my vote, awesome picture!

Thanks for your reply

What if the case is where I want to take up a new full time position and convert my current full time position to part time.....I guess one way to do it would be to transfer H1 to the new employer...wait for an approval and then file for another concurrent H1 for the part time job with the old company..But the problem is I'd have to wait until new approval comes...and also convince both companies to shell out 2k plus in filing fees....does any one have a better alternative ? Thanks again

I believe that to convert a full time position to part time, all you have to do is re-file your LCA.

I probabably know the answer of this question but would still like to confirm, just to be sure:

- First I-797B Valid from Jan 2004 to Sep 2006 <- Note: wasn't for 3 years
- First Visa valid from Jul 2004 to Sep 2006
- 1st US Entry Date from Aug 2005 till present date
(been to india in Dec 2007 for 1 month for visa stamping)
- First i-94 valid from Aug 2005 to Sep 2006


-Extended I-797A from Sep 2006 to Jan 2009 <-Note: not extended for 3 yrs
-2nd Visa/I-94 valid from Dec 2007 to Jan 2009

My questions?

1. Can my H1B Visa be extended again? This will be my 2nd extension.

2. Till what Date can be extended?
a. Jan 2010 (6 yrs from 1st I-797)
b. Jul 2010 ( 6 yrs from 1st visa stamping)
c. Aug 2011 (6 yrs from 1st US entry)

Thanks a lot !

If you are on H1 then the ticket should be provided for by your employer - that is my understanding of the law.

Folks,
It is outrageous that NSC is not churning out any post April 2004 approvals for EB2-I. Is any one is taking any actions?
What can be done?

If you meant India, there is one case @
- mytracker23 India EB2 PD 07/24/2004 approved on Aug 07

If you meant China, there are couple of cases @
- greencard1234 China EB2 PD 03/25/2005
- erlizhinian China EB2 PD 03/26/2005
- evereadyjoe China EB2 PD 11/24/2004

But one thing is for sure, NSC has more ROW cases processed/approved, TSC is primarily going/approving India.

I tried to get info. in http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20710, but no one else reported.

I was hopeful of my case with Aug 2008 visa bulletin, but seeing the rate/pattern of approval @ NSC (post Apr 01, 2004), now I see no hope in Aug/Sep 2008.

Hi,

My 9th year H1 expires this month and I am planning to use EAD to continue in my job (not extending my H1B). Can you please tell:

1) What do I need to do to with respect to Employer and USCIS to move to EAD status from H1B?

2) I read in some forum posts: there is a new law OR amendment - people working on EAD with adjustment of status will be deported.. we need to continue maintaining H1B status..is it legitimate?

3) My current Advance Parole is valid till Oct'09. As I move to EAD, is AP renewal required for any other reason other than travel purpose?

Thanks
AjaySri

Hi,
I am trying to renew my EAD/AP myself and wanted to check if I will be getting the EAD card and AP documents by mail to my address.

I am avoiding the lawyer, as he's charging unreasonable amount.

Question:
When self-filing, would I be getting the EAD/AP documents at my home address???

Thanks.

I have sent an email and pm; please check. Need details regarding your payment too.

Give me a green dot if you can.

does anyone have any clue on this??

your employer has to update your I-9 form with the EAD documentation, you need AP for travel only, you will not be deported if you change to EAD.

Okay..That means..we need to give A# also without fail?

I am afraid my company will ask for more details if I disclose this information that's why i want to give No for these questions..:mad:

You have given Yes to this questions right ?

If I don't mention my A# would it be okay? or will they find out by some other ways?

If the labor cert has been filed, approved and the I-140 has been filed, I think you can file for an extension of the H1-b. I was advised the same by my attorney, but by the time we filed for the extention, my I-140 was also approved (rather quickly).

You should contact your immigration attorney right away.
