Dont worry too much. Get your H1 extension with current employer even if it s a consultancy firm when you are on project. It wont be deied.

I think I wasnt clear with my 1st post.

A different employer has file my labor. I do not want to file a new GC with my current employer. New employer is saying that H1 wont be transferred without client letter.
So I am trying to figure out other possibilities in the meanwhile.

Anyone has an appointment for H1B stamping at OTTAWA on 25th July? I'm from NJ area, willing to join if anybody's driving...

Apparently, NSC doesnt have enough applications.....can they start looking into visa recapture????

Business slowing at Lincoln immigration center (http://journalstar.com/news/local/article_df5c958e-c27f-11de-89da-001cc4c03286.html?mode=story)

Hi,

My company has started process of applying for my Green card in EB2 category. However, attorney has some issues with that.

I joined my company on a post completion OPT based on completion of course work in January 09. At that time I was MS thesis student and had to just defend my thesis. However later in Feb, because of some differences with my adviser, I converted to MS Non thesis and graduated in May 2009 with the course work that I had completed in Dec 08. In all respects, I had completed all coursework requirements for my degree prior to Dec 2008. My company's attorney recently told me that this may be a problem for an EB2 case as I joined company before I graduated with MS.

I have all documents available with me that all course work for the degree was completed before I joined the company.


I am bit worried. Can some one advise me on this? I will be grateful.

Thanks

U.S. companies are also clamoring for more H1B visas to allow foreign software engineers and other skilled workers into the country.

The 65,000 visas allotted for 2007 were taken by the end of May last year, months before the end of the fiscal year in September, said Jack Krumholtz, the head of Microsoft Corp.'s government affairs office. It is also difficult to get permanent U.S. residency for foreign workers who would like to stay, he said.

"This is becoming for high-tech companies a huge retention issue," Krumholtz said. "We will start to see highly valued tech employees emigrate back to their home countries."

Yes but I was thinking, spouse and children are counted in family based visas and how exempting them will benefit EB visas. Correct me if I'm wrong. :confused:

Hi Almond and dilbert_Cal,
I am in my seventh year of h1. I applied for one year extension.Not granted yet.
So do I have to wait to get the extension approved ? Can I get my 140 approval and re-appy for 3 year extension and then make the move ?

I am really grateful for that bit of info previously.

please give your details

Possibly, USCIS will ask for your updated employment contract and job description. RFE is usually sent to your lawyer.

I don't know why they split your wife's application. Did you marry after you applied for GC?

HI

I wouldn't get too hassled from YT comments.

May be it is worth it or may be not....In www.cnn.com there is a section (on the left hand side) asking what the democrats should do first. (They are basically asking our opinion)

I wrote down some items that I thought they should discuss, namely, in the area of legal immigration relief for EB categories.

We probably wont gain anything out of it; at the same time, it doesnt hurt to send them our opinion.

what say you ????

good idea

Usually, even if the employer or attorney put their address, the USCIS mails the card to the address marked as the home address of the applicant.

Note that the I-765(EAD) and AP are not mandatory forms. Talk your employer into saying "these are not required right now, we can file later". And once he files the 485 and 140, you can always file the EAD and AP yourself (or use a lawyer).

I have a feeling he's trying to keep all documentation to himself. Don't let your guard down.

Purely my opinion.

This is from me

My followup question is since my prevoius H1B expired few weeks back, am I still eligible to apply 8th year H1B extension thru company B based on previously approved 140 (with company A)?

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Hi all,

I submitted an application via premium processing for EB-1a with USCIS at the Texas Premium Processing Centre last month (April 2007).

I received an RFE notification via letter after two weeks listing the requirement of further evidence against 3 out of the 8 criteria I submitted.

I can submit further evidence - but my question is this ... "Why have they not made mention of the other 5 criteria I submitted" ? Has this failed ? Do they not matter ?. I am quite concerned because they have not made any mention of my other criteria ? Does anyone have any advice.

Thanks in advance.
