It would be nice if we get Subscription expiration notification.

If you find a document let us know. that would be really interesting...

Hi All,
I have filed an extension for my parents B2 Visa. I have got extension approval but only got I-94 for father and did not find I-94 for mother. I did attach Supplement-I with my mother's details.

I just happen to look at my application, I-539. I found that I checked the following:
Members of my family are filing this application with me.
The total number of people (including me) in the application is: 1

Is it customary that I only receive I-94 for the principal applicant (in my case) and don't have to worry about?

If not, please share your thoughts. Do I need to file seperate application for my mother at this point?



Thank you all,

Sri

The date when LC is filed.

Yep. I watched it too. Nothing about legal immigrants who came on visas. Gonzales says "We are not going to sacrifice security and quality for production". So, coming from the chief himself...that says it all. What we can derive from that is...the mentality of USCIS seems to be to prolong the process as much as possible thus raking in the moolah for USCIS and at the same time defend their actions by playing the "Quality" and "Security" ball game. Not sure if anybody can change their attitude towards legal immigrants.

I saw the programme too....It was so stupid of Gonzales! If they are going to take 6 months to find out that a person is terrorist, isn't that stupid! Should'nt they find that out in few hours instead of taking 6 months or for that matter 2-3 years for security clearence! What to say! Just have to live with it!

You can use your eb3 EAD.

But first to get into EB2 category, you have to first file another separate labor with a different employer (w/same employer it will most likely rejected) and then file 140 separately agian and then once your 140 is approved get it interfiled and then port from eb3 to eb2.

Thanks...but i agree with your paralegal friend.......there is no logic to it all.
logic and law are not usually on "friendly" terms....
i guess the argument is that one who hasn't filed, cannot be counted.... and you cannot file until you are current.... so no backlog exists .... so non-filers (due to PD) do not exist and hence there is no "official" classification for them i guess.


I know what looneytunezez says is logical, however, a friend of mine who is a paralegal in a big immigration law firm says otherwise (something similar to what blacktongue says) - don't know what to make of it, hence the post..

I (and my spouse as dependent) applied for I-485, AP, and EAD on July 17, 07 and am yet to get the receipt notice. My (and my spouse's) H-1 expires on 12/31/07 and I plan to travel out of the US between November 8 and December 24.

In case, the I-485 receipt notice does not come before we leave, would we be considered as having abandoned the PR application? Any idea how long it might take for the receipt notice to come for people in my shoes?

All your answers in the "Travel out of country and re-entry during/after 485 filing" forum: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=76

Thanks,

I have the following status working with the original H1B employer who filed for my green card petition:

1) PD Jan, 2007, EB3-I
2) I-140 approved and pending AOS
3) 2 yrs. EAD available, expiring Sep. 2011
4) H1B will be expiring within 3 months (1 year left from 6 years limit)

My questions,

1) Can I use EAD instead of extending H1B? I want to stay with the same employer as a
full time employee.
2) If yes, is it required to inform INS? How and when?
3) In that case, how me, my son (middle school student, H4 & pending AOS) and wife's (EAD & pending AOS) stay in US will be justified with no valid I-94 (assuming I am not extending H1B anymore) ?

Answers to my above questions will be highly appreciated.:confused:

I know people work for county on EAD, but can one be employed by the US government on EAD?

Thanks for replying. Just to clarify:

If I file with my husband as the dependant, after getting the receipt of 485, I know I can move jobs, but can I stop working completely? (This might be a dumb questions :)).. Does this mean that until we get the greencard, I must be employed in this job or similar jobs?

I have also heard rumours of both 485s being rejected. Does anyone have any more concrete information regarding this?

Thanks for all the replies.

Nice job. Looks like you had no troble getting your desired focus point with the D@H. How are you finding the D2H? How long have you had it? What did you have before?
Here are some shots with the D2h and 105mm...what do you think?

If your case was filed successfully then USCIS will send you receipt notice and biometrics appointment notice with in a week.

If she will not be able to get F1, what will be her status in USA ?

It is not illegal. Some companies apply for extensions a bit late and in the mean time, the VISA expires. It is OK. At the most he/she will not be able to drive as the drivers license is linked to the VISA expiry.
Fine then of course.

Bono, did you ever visit http://voice123.com/ to offer your voice over services? You can put your demos there and those needing voice actors can find you. Good luck.

Not really that will be the last bill on immigration, if we want anything done.. we have to attache recapture(some how) to dream act or else...just continue to wait...

This is good news. Once Dream act for undocumented is out. Then they will take up bills for H1Bs.

Hi Gurus,
Please advise me regarding my situation
My current H1B expires May 1s1 and I have my H1B extension pending (in lieu of GC pending with the same company, and EAD is not an option for me because of dependents) with a fortune 500 company A, with whom I am employed. They plan to do a round of layoffs in a couple of weeks that I am sure my team is a part of.
With the foreknowledge of pending situation, please let me know if I can validly take the following course of action.
I am thinking that I premium process my 3 year H1extension with company A right away, then have it transferred to company B. Only problem is extension starts in a future date, ie May 1st.
Can I get my current+extended H1B transferred to company B even before the start date of extended May1st . If I have to wait till May1st to get it transferred, does it matter that on May 1st I am not with company A anymore.

Yes without original PERM approval, USCIS does not accept cases for PP

3. can get new/extension H-1B for 3 years without cap, if you have I-140 approved
4. can get new/extension H-1B for 1 year without cap, if I-140 is pending

Not a legal advice.

regarding response #2:- If the approved H1b (from Oct 08 to March 09) was already subject to cap, could you claim for a 3 year new H1b?
The reason I was asking is because recently this application to consider this as a new H1b for 3 years was rejected and instead only one year (recapture time for year abroad) was issued.
