Hi All,
I have a situation where I can not find proper information and would like to ask all the experts in this column.
I'm on H1B visa and have valid visa till Dec 2011. We are about to file I 140. My PD is current and I would like to do the concurrent filling. But I need to visit my home country next month for important engagement. And do not have time to get AP before I travel. I appreciate if you can find answers to my questions.

- Can I reenter to USA on valid H1B visa when my I485 is pending (without AP)?
- If so, Do I need to go for another visa stamping in my home country? (I have a valid visa, but was stamped in Mexico) & Will there be any issues for I485 application?

Thank you!
:)

1) You can enter US on your H1B visa even though you might have applied for I-485.
2) You don't need to go for another visa stamping if it is valid for more then 6 months. If you are on new H1 then you must tell at the POE to put the exp date from the new H1 on your I-94.

I know nothing about guitars and even less about motorcycles. But I do look forward to seeing the pictures that you will be taking as you travel.l

I am in Austin, I got my FP done on 10/11 in San Antonio. It was a pleasant experience if you go early. My applicatoin was reached NSC on 2nd July. Got EAD, but no AP yet.

Hi,

Here is my current Status :

I485 : Filed in July 2007
PD : April 2006
EAD : Valid till 27th August 2010 (filed for renewal last week)
AP : Valid till Jan 22nd 2011
H1B : Valid till Jan 22nd 2011

My employer is still the same who filed for my GC (and helping me keep my H1 current) Last couple of time when I went to India I have used AP to re-enter the US. My wife used her EAD to get a job locally - but now she has quite and she is in India. . I am currently in process of getting my H1 stamped on my passport, get H4 for my wife and son (who was born on July 30 2010 in India)

MY QUESTION IS : What should we use to re-enter the US ? AP or H1/H4 ?
Will my H1 and EAD still be valid ? or will I lose one of them ?

Please let me know. I do not want to take a wrong step since I am so close to getting my GC.

I quote:
"We have also improved our legal immigration system by reducing backlogs of immigration applications and devoting critical funding to promote innovative citizenship preparation and integration programs in communities throughout the country."

Any idea what they are talking about in terms of backlog reduction?

Cases waiting for visa numbers are not considered as backlogged. USCIS only terms cases pending processing as backlogged cases.

Friends;
I am posting this on behalf of my friend who is on H1 (6th year expiring in Dec, 2011). His labor is yet to be filed and in this connection we have a question. Process has been initiated by employer and tentatively labor will be filed in June, 2011. Hoping that he will be done with labor or I-140 by November would he be eligible for 7th year H1 extension?
Thanks

In recent times we are not able to see cases in online system and only way to get that into online system is by doing an address change. Unless the case comes into online system we can NOT add that to our protfolio for tracking.

I came across this one very interesting read on how the Visa cutoff dates are established...

http://judiciary.house.gov/media/pdfs/Oppenheim070606.pdf
I had a similar question -- how does processing dates work ? for eg - texas processing dates shows -- the date to be june/2007.
say for EB3 the visa date is nov 2001 and if a person X with a pd of mar/2003 applies for his 485 on july 2007 ...will his case be processed ??
(In other words - will they even touch his file or will they wait for the visa dates to become current before touching the file ??)

I have filed for the position for "Progammer Analyst " in company A. I applied for I485 after I140 approval and it has been more than 180 days. I work for company B but in totally different position(unrelated to programmer analyst).
I just got a job of "Programmer cum Instructor" from company C who is transferring my H1. I do not know if I can invoke Ac21 or not. In case yes, then I think I will never have to join company A. Am I right ?

I have mis-placed my EAD. Normally I can just apply for another EAD. But, I will be travelling to India in Mid March on Advance Parole and I'm not sure if I'll get the EAD by then.

My question is, will they ask for EAD upon re-entry.

I am thinking of applying for EAD after coming back. Is there any special processing for applying for a lost EAD ?

Any advice is appreciated.

Use the same application procedure as though applying for a new EAD, but make sure you check the box where it says "replacement of lost EAD". Also, write a cover letter explaining that you need a replacement EAD. I had to go thru this just a couple of months ago and USCIS reissued the EAD within a month.

Hello Attorney's

My H1 Extension got denied and reason - employer could not provide "End-Client" letter.
(Client is not providing any letters to "consultants")

I have an Approved I-140 and Pending I-485(EB2 PD Oct 2006).

Currently working using EAD

Question -
What kind of implications will this have on my I-485 application?

Is there something that i can do to like change my current employer etc,,
to save myself? Or is this the end of my immigration journey.

Attorney's Please Advise.

Thanks in advance

I jst got an update on my and my wife I-485; i am not sure what it is about as i have not received the RFE yet.....but i think they are asking for our BC as we did not provide them when we applied for I-485;

I want to know that is it OK if i provide USCIS with the 2 AFFIDEVITS, one for me and one for my wife stating all the information such as Name, Date of Birth, City of Birth, Country of Birth, Mothers Name and Fathers Name.

Gettign the birth certificate is a very long procedure and i dont think i would have them soon. So i was wondering will it be OK if i provide them with the Affidevits. Will USCIS accept it!!!!

Lastly, i would appreciate if some one can give me the template that what text should be included in the affedevit !!!!

Thanks in advance !!!!!

Dec. 06 expired a lettler that USCIS send to my employer but we never received the lettler, it was a wrong information for the address my boss was talking with an officer of USCIS and she reported electronically to Nebraska about this problem, we send just in case last Friday again all the documents with the I-140 we don't know what evidence they need, but the thing is that we have to wait ; we don't have a lawyer everything was fine the only problem was that we never received a letter about the I-140 because the address omit the suite number do you think that no matter what we have to find a lawyer ...or just wait... the adjusment was submit in May 2006.

HI All
I am worried about my employer. Given the fact about I-485 apps and the last few days of labor in the previous month I have doubts about my employer. He is a very mean and hopeless desi employer and I am worried if he sold out my labor to some high bidder. is there any way i can find out if my labor is still infact in my name. any thoughts
thanks

except to beg one of those guys who used LS. Ask them!
Please I beg you, did you purchase my labor? Did your company offered it
to keep you IN? Did your uncle/relative offered it to you...

I feel for you.....

Totally irrelevant to this forum. Administrator please review this thread.

A lot of people have filed on July 2 and still haven't received their FP notice while my husband and I filed July 6 and we're scheduled for FP tomorrow. My brother who filed on July 26 also received his FP notice last Friday. USCIS is really unpredictable nowadays so who knows how long it takes to generate FP notices. Hopefully you'll get yours soon too. :o

How much time does it take on an average to generate a FP notice from the receipt notice date and when does the actual FP take place?

What happens after the I-485?

I guess I-486:D

Or Take I 85 North on next Exit

Folks,
I need to find document or URL which states that "Employer is responsible to pay for H1B extension for its employee" OR it is illegal for employee to pay for H1B extensions.

Could somebody help me find that document/memo? I am trying to google it as well.

I need to submit this to my HR urgently (Red tape process :-( ). I will very much appreciate if somebody has the link/doc/memo handy and point me to it.

Thanks a lot in advance

I had a TB test yesterday. Waiting to go to doctor on Monday to get results. Hope I get negative result :eek:

Hello,

Anyone who received their Advance Parole Approvals, from NSC, who filed their I-485/AP etc on July 2nd?

Thanks.

Group,

This morning I saw a commercial (California Group Blames Immigrants for Climate Change) (http://www.triplepundit.com/2009/11/california-group-blames-immigrants-for-climate-change/)on the local Bay Area channel and was simply surprised, I mean out of words surprised.

I cannot believe how low these anti-immigrant groups can and will go to push their point, which obviously is nothing but full of BS, but it certainly adds fuel to the fire.

fueling the fire, but they better make sure the fire drivesoff the right monsters , the illegals.
