Hi all,

This is for my friend who got his 3 year H1- B extension recently.
He planned to visit India for stamping and already booked the air ticket + consulate appointment.

But the Visa validity start date in his I-797A is incorrect. He joined this company only in 2006 but the start date shown in I-797A is sometime in 2001.
Though the END date is correct, Is it going to cause any problem in his Visa stamping?
He got only 2 weeks to fly and skeptical about the turnaround timeframe to file for correction.

His lawyer says it is a very minor problem and will not affect the visa stamping.

Please share any similar experiences / ideas.

Thanks a lot

If I'am not wrong the interview will be in whichever state you are.

I am a freelancer and I plan to write an article for a California based Asian Newsletter about the political views of the Immigrant community.

Most EB Immigrants (now citizens) have forgotten what's it like to be an "Immigrant in a limbo". Let's remind them!! Your thoughts might inspire someone to reconsider their decisions.

I was in your shoes in the mid 90's. and I am aware that most of you are in the midst of a messy immigration process.

But, if you had an opportunity, who would you choose and why?

Please update your profile

My husband has got a query on his I-140 now and it would take another 2-3 months before USICS makes a decision. His company is not doing well financially and we are worried if the I-140 would get denied. My understanding is, if the I-140 gets denied, the EAD will no longer be valid.

Would anyone happen to know what would happen to the EAD, if the company files a MTR (Motion to Reopen) and appeal against the I-140 denial (if it happens) ?

Thanks

SBMallik thanks for the reply, as per your link it says,

Yes. Effective March 2, 2009, USCIS will accept premium processing service requests for the Form I-140 Petition category types listed above that are, filed for alien beneficiaries who, as of the date of filing the Form I-907 premium processing request:

Have reached the 6th year statutory limitation of their H-1B stay, or will reach the end of their 6th year of H-1B stay within 60 days of filing;

-- I am in 6th year of stay and 4th year of my H1B stay. Do i fall in to the above category as my H1B expires on Sep 30 2009.

Pls. advice

Thanks

Don't tell me you got one for this!

cool! like the gradients much ;)

Hi All,
My I-140 got denied on Sept 4th. I have not received denial notice till now. Only 2 more weeks to file MTR/Appeal. How should i proceed now? My attorney still wants to wait for more time.

Thanks and appreciate your help -

I am generally a shy quiet person but enough is enough and I know in my heart I just have to do this....going to D.C. join us

123 & others,

If u guys transferred over ur H-1, did u wait until u got the actual USCIS receipt (for the H1 transfer) before u started working at the new company?

My wife was also in the same situation. We hired a good Driving Violations lawyer. He reduced it to a no points 'Reckless Driving' ticket. It did increase our insurance premiums but no other effect.

Thanks for the reply aruben.

One more clarification, once petition is converted to F1 and I get married after that what will happen to the petition. will it stay in F1 cateogory or converted to some other category or it will be revoked and I will have to do fresh start.

Thanks very much again for you time and guidance.

Hello,

I was on valid 3-year H1 visa until Dec 2010. I got layed off in Feb 2009.

I found another employer to file my H1 transfer case in April '09 and the case is still pending (regular processing). We received a RFE asking for my most recent pay stubs and employer info recently.

The question I have is if the H1 transfer gets denied, what do I do next? How much time do I have to leave the US? Do they give time to pack and make plans to leave? I don't want to face deportation. Also, I have a valid 10- year B1/B2 visa stamped on my passport. Can I use that in any way.

Your response is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I mean should it be only Software engr in the exp letter rather than Sr Software engr, since the labor says Software engr ?
What is the position mentioned in the LC for your previous job? IMHO, it does not matter what the title is. As long as the job description is the same, you should be OK.
I had "part time Oracle developer" in the LC but the letter I got just said "Oracle developer" and mentioned that is was part time (20 hrs/ wk). I don't think it is such a big deal.
What did your lawyer say?

I applied on Jun6th and got my EAD 2 weeks back. I took infopass to expedite the process. The IO wrote an email to someone in TSC. I got approved next week. Give a try taking Infopass.

Good luck


Thanks, I will do that on 18th..took Infopass

Yes, I got a similar letter last week. I posted about it earlier.

I am on H-1 B , and planning to apply for Labor certification - working for an Automobile manufacturing Company in Engineering department,my qualifications are Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering-SOC CODE (17-2141), Masters in Industrial Engineering SOC CODE(17-2112).
Just want to ask can i use Commercial & Industrial designer SOC CODE(27-1021), as base cause for using this code is my current job responsibilities matches with it and also meeting Salary requirements, other two codes giving high salaries comparing this code - (flc data center),
By law do i have to use the same code in which my bachelor or master degree is OR it depends on my current job responsibility
. help will be appreciated

I thought this was funny and had to post this link :D.
