I am in the same situation and my attorney advised me to definetely file my wife's H4 extension along with my H1, but make sure to only request her H4 extension till Sept 30, 2007 so that her H1 approved COS will take effect from Oct 1st.

Hope this helps.

Thanks frostrated. When I said CPT I actually meant STEM Extension (17 month). Anyways, if I don't find employment before my OPT expires, can I go to back to school without an issue? I think I should be okay but I just wanted to make sure. I would appreciate it if I got any input on this matter. I need to double check myself to make sure I'm on a legal status


Yes, you can go back to school. But you also need to find out if you were in violation of your status. On OPT, you cannot stay without working for more than a set period of days.
Though that is rarely enforced, it is good to keep in mind.
You can get an OPT only once per degree level. So, if you got your OPT for a master's level program, you cannot get another OPT for a master's level degree. You can get one for the Phd though. So keep that in mind when you go back to school.

HI ,
MY H1 b is expiring on 30 Sep ,2009 .

My current client informed me that they are going to hire me as a fulltime , but it will take 2-3 months for them to hire me .

Should I ask my current employer to file H1 extention right now ?

Or I should wait for H1 trnsfer as a fulltime employee ?

Any suggestions ?
Thanks

I have valid H1B visa in my passport.
Can I travel to India via London.
Can you please tell me what restrictions we have at london to travel. I heard some European countries have restrictions to travel.

Call airlines and British embassy and they should tell you the updated rule.

Does the bill have provisions to increase residency positions ? I heard few months back about hard lobbying to increase the match positions by 15000 to accomodate new patients because of the mandate. Any idea?

Thanks
A

Havent seen any increase in residency positions.
I dont think the bill addresses the 'real' issues that are plaguing health care in this country.

It does not.

The only thing I notice is a little orage that looks unusual on the tip of the rear ducks beak. If that's not it, I don't see anything.

I am planning on getting my H1 done for this year... i have talked to a couple of people about the same and someone said thai i might have Pay to get my H1 Processed and get the job.... is it a right choice to make....
most of the H1's consultant i have come across does only ITsector
is there anyone who can suggest how to get the H1 for other field like Pharmacy, Microbiology.....etc....

Most of the consultants ask you to pay for the H1's these days for security. Some will re-imburse your money after a period.
But according to the law, employers are supposed to pay for H1 and travelling expenses if you are in your home country.

It doesn't matter how you get the magnification - whether by extension or by a "real" macro lens, you're going to have to deal with very thin DOF. Small apertures are about the only thing you can do.

The only other option - available only if your subject is perfectly stationary - is to put your camera on a geared focusing rail and shoot numerous frames, repositioning the camera slightly from front to back in between each image. Software is available (designed for microscopy) that will mix the sharpest parts of each frame, giving you an image that has greater DOF than possible to obtain optically in one frame due to physical principles.

Labor/I-140/485/EB3 approved with PD of 2003. THe approved Labor had criteria that meets EB2 so trying to apply new I-140 in EB2 with the same labor. All is well except, lawyer concerned about the degree mentioned in labor is "computer science or equivalent" and I have "electronics engineering". Isn't the word "equivalent supposed to mean closeby or related as electronics engineering that we had was more like computer engineering

1. In the worst case of denial of new I-140 AND revoking of an approved I-140 and denial of I-485 due to degree issue, can I
continue to stay and work in US for the next 3 years of an approved H1B extension.
2. WHat are the chances of EB2 approval and conversion based on the slight difference in the degree above? How do I improve, if chances of success are bleak

Appreciate advice.

I am EB2, Indian. Filed for PERM earlier this summer and waiting for approval which I don't expect for another 4-6 months. The situation is that my company is in a very shaky financial position but they have been very supportive and I am hoping to be okay for the next 6 mo to year. My strategy is (assuming I don't lose my job) to just sit out my I-140 approval and that way I get the 3-yr extension and lock in my PD. I don't see being able to file for I-485 at this job.

Soo -- 2 questions:
1) Do you think the financial position of the company will affect the I-140 approval? It's a financial services firm and we have had a bunch of layoffs.
2) Assuming I get my I-140 approved, could I, in theory, leave the US for a while (I am very interested in a one-year fellowship program in Europe) and then come back and go work for a new company using the 3-year H1-B extension and begin the green card process again with my current (2009) priority date?

Thanks very much!
For question 2: Answer Yes.
If your company had lay offs there is a good chance you might get audit. If you get an audit the Perm process might take upto 2-3 years. If you dont get an audit perm process could finish in a year. Plan accordingly. All the best.

Concurrent H-1Bs have no quota restriction. You just have to mention hourly rate and number of hours per week for the second job.

I posted this question on another thread but its on page 38-39, so thought I might post as a new thread so that I can get some answer to my concerns...

I renewed my EAD thru e-filing. Everything was ok but the address to send the Confirmation Receipt is TSC. My initial I-485 is at NSC. My address did not change anytime from the time I applied I-485.

I entered the correct info in question 11..which was:

Have you ever before applied for employment auth. form USCIS?
X Yes(if yes, continue below)
I checked yes

which USCIS office?

My answer:

LINCOLN, NE date: 08/14/2007

Should I be worried about this or can I just feel its okay?

Is this something okay?

Please let me know....Thanks.

Thanks , but i already using OSCommerce from technical standpoint but i had some operational questions,let me know if you have a ecommerce site.

If you are looking for a ready-made solution - Volusions and a few other options are out there.
If you are computer savvy you can also use Drupal and other pre-built solutions and customize using smart cart and payment processing packages.
Writing everything from scratch may be a waste of time if online retail is your goal.

HTH

This seems to be an area where a qualified attorney might be able to give you more information on how to proceed. You may want to try other forums too to get some kind of advise.

good luck

Attorney Eugenia Ponce recently wrote a blog post here (http://www.immigration-law-answers-blog.com/2009/07/immigration-law/immigration-rights/lawful-permanent-residents-keep-trips-abroad-relatively-short/) cautioning Lawful Permanent Residents to keep their trips abroad relatively short. Here is the text of that post:

Lawful permanent residents (LPR) of the United States (green card holders) need to keep their trips abroad to a relatively short period of time. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) could determine that an LPR has abandoned their residence if the LPR’s intent was not to return to the U.S. within a relatively short period of time.

Factors DHS could consider in evaluating the LPR’s intent include:

Whether the trip abroad is lengthy or for a short period of time;
LPR’s family ties in the U.S.;
property holding in the U.S.;
business affiliations within the U.S.;
LPR’s family, property, and business ties in the foreign country.

After that was posted, we were asked what exactly we meant by the term "relatively short." Of course the answer, as always, depends on several factors. But here is a further explanation from Ms. Ponce:

What a "relatively short period of time" is can't be defined in terms of elapsed time alone. Generally, lawful permanent residents (LPR) can use their green cards to return to the United States after a temporary absence not exceeding one year. The most important factor in concluding whether an LPR abandoned his or her U.S. residence is to look at the LPR's actual intent to return to the United States after a short trip, along with the other factors such as property, business, and family ties inside the U.S. and in the foreign country. An LPR returning to the U.S. once a year for a few days doesn't "automatically revalidate" a green card in a situation in which the lawful permanent resident has actually been residing abroad.

I am not sure about the answer. It depends on how close you are to finding the new position. Once you find a new position, speak with attorney for new company. In worst case can always do H1 extension in premium. If I were you, I would just have a hard dead line of say April end. If I dont find a new job by then, would just file for extension in premium.

Very Tricky situation.

I was in the same situation only thing is that for me it was the same employer.

So.. I assume you can go before June 30th so you can re-enter US if you are in US.

If you are planning to go to Canada.. You can call the consulate ( that is what i did ) Just a suggestion...

Hi, I am in same boat as you. I tried to find infomation & reality is 485 for future spouse can be filed only if the PD becomes current.

My husband recently changed jobs and has not updated the transfer in his H1 visa yet. I need to travel to India. Can i travel with the existing H4 with his new I-797 and salary stubs? Or do we have to updated the visas before we can travel?

Thanks.

I was browsing the jobs forum on craigslist and i was shocked to see some user urging people to call Senator Cornyn to not push H1 and Eb visa increases.
Of all places I least expected anti immigrants to be so active on craigslist.
Those who still have doubts about what we are against, let this be an eye opener.
And what are we doing? fighting each other? Wake up

Immediate Calls Needed to Stop H-1B Increase

Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) is leading an end-of-year effort to nearly double the importation of H-1B nonimmigrant foreign workers and to more than double the number of employment-based (EB) permanent residents admitted to the United States each year, among other things. This proposal would:
� Depress wages in high-skill occupations.
� Force more highly-skilled American workers onto the unemployment rolls.
� Further erode America�s middle class.
� Deter American children from pursuing degrees in high-tech fields.
Call the capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 or (877) 762-8762. Tell your Representative and Senators to oppose any H-1B increase. Who represents me?
