My husband's employer told him that the 6 year H1 B stay cap has been eliminated since the year 2008. Is that true?

No. There is still the 6-year limit, unless the H-1B holder has reached a certain stage of the permanent residence process.

Anybody?

Nice pencils! Is this graphite?!

My lawyer sent my wife EAD renewal papers to VSC.

Our cases at at TSC presently. I asked him to sent it to TSC but he said since the original EAD / AP were approved by VSC the renewal has to also go to VSC.


I am not sure what is going to happen. I have not seen my cheques cashed nor have received the package back?

FedEx trackinh number says it was received at VSC on July 10.


Can anybody shed some light whats going to happen next ?????

Here is my situation.....
My EB3 140 approved with priority date 01June2002 --> Company A

My EB2 140 pending with priority date 10May2006 -->Company A (different title...future position)

Can i port my EB3 priority date (June 2002) to EB2 application & apply I-485?.If i do, will my EB3 140 gets invalid?.I will need to file 3 year H1B extn(in Oct) based on my approved EB3 application & don't want to loose my approved 140.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The portability of I-140 priority date should be done at the time the I-140 is filed. So when your EB-2 I-140 was filed, you should have requested it at that time. There is a column on the Form I-140 which asks if an I-140 was ever approved on behalf of the beneficiary.

Why don't your file your H-1B extension now using Premium Processing? It will be approved for 3 years in 10-15 days then then you can think about porting your EB-2 priority date to EB-3.

I just received an email from USCIS saying that my I-140 has been denied. I touched base with the attorney & she has not yet received any documentation from USCIS. This has been the 1st change in my status since Aug 07. My case is pending at TSC.

Does anyone know if this is a fairly common occurance for USCIS to deny I-140 without an RFE? Any advise on what to do next?

Thanks.

sorry to hear that and look at this link , might throw some insight once you know the reason..

Certainly not all hospitals and universities must most do fall in the non-profit category.

Check with the HR of that org. to confirm.

yes of course
All US universities and Hospitals are non-cap
the pay is less but jobs is more stable and the university will file the visa paperwork(no lawyers fees)

changing to cap-subject requires a regular oct-dependent h1b visa again

Yes, the number will be the same.
Just want to confirm if both needs to be surrendered

Yeah I noticed you like his little errors heh? Hahah nice concept!

Hello All

Has any one else experienced this? From the two posters above (which includes me) EAD and AP efiled applications went to National Benefits Center and generated the receipt numbers starting with MSC?

Please share your experience. Is there any thing to worry in this case?

Good luck

my mothe in law is visiting us. she came to the Us last Aug 2006 as a B2 (tourist visa). we extented her visa once which iwas valid for Aug 8, 2007. then we applied for the extention again. yesterday we received the letter saying USCIS is not going to extend the visa anymore. the application had been rejected. but they didn't mentioned any date in the letter about when she have to go back.

what is safe for her? does she have any deadline to go back? is it 15 days or a month....

someone please let me know...thanks ahead

Unless otherwise you invoke her H1, she will be in H4 even if H1 is approved today. Invoking means, going to home country and getting it stamped or start working for a company and getting paid via paystub and having SSN

filed on Aug08th, even EAD cards ordered :D

its kinda not a FIFO so take it easy
especially those who filed between Jul2-Jul17 its delayed.

I have been looking topics like this one. Does anybody know if H-1 H-4 can apply for financial aid? does it come up during GC process as goverment aid and therefore could put you GC approval in danger of being rejected? I read somewhere a list of federal help we can use and be OK. Does someone know where to find info?. I have a daighter H-4 who starts college this year. She qualifies for in state tuiton. Does this affect her GC process? You never know when issues like this will surface along your process. I don't want to make any mistakes. Is someone in similar situation?

July�07 filer - H1-B renewal after filing I-485 (12th Year)

Can I renew H1-B (12th year) after filed 485. Don�t want to use EAD in order to maintain my wife�s H4.

The AC21 document covers before I-485 filing stage. But not covering after 485 filed and retrogressed situation.
----------------------
(4) Exemptions to Limitations of Stay. The limitation on the total period of stay does not apply to H-1B aliens when, as of the date of filing the extension request:
365 or more days have passed since the filing of any application for labor certification, Forms ETA-750 or ETA-9089, that is required or used by the alien to obtain status as an EB immigrant; and the labor certification, if approved, has not been revoked, is unexpired or has been timely filed with an EB petition within the labor certification�s validity period; or

365 or more days have passed since the filing of an EB immigrant petition that is still pending; or

The alien is the beneficiary of an approved EB immigration petition and is not able to file to adjust status to U.S. permanent legal residence based on the unavailability of an immigrant visa number.
-------------------------------------

I have filed my I-485 during July 2007 as like many others. My PD is March 2004
Got married after the filing and still maintaining my H1 and brought my wife on H4.

I need to renew my H1 as it is getting expired in April. Not able to use EAD as need to maintain my wife�s H4.

This is my 12th year H1 renewal.

6 year 2005
1 year 2006
1 year 2007
3 year 2010


Question - Is H1-B extension rule applicable only for I140 approval/(labor 365 days) or is it allowed even after filing 485? And is it allowed after 11 years for additional 3 years?


Thanks
