If you are on H1 and employer is not paying weather or not you are on bench, you must report that to DOL. There is a form w-4 (I don't exactly remember the form).

Employee must be paid ALL THE TIME on H1. Period.
That's the law.

Problem for you is, technically you will be out of status if you are not paid.


What if I only complain about recent unpaid period when I was in even in project. They dint pay any thing on March 15th and dont want to pay on March 31st. They only want to pay in April. Whats your suggestion?
Thx

audit is only on pending applications..i dont think it is on certified..

also they may process fugmon cases fase..hope they dont denied any..

what is supervised recruitment

Sai,

HOW: Some attorneys have what they call "consular representation" (ie a good working relationship with the Consulates in Canada). I do NOT know how this is feasible, but several applicants who are unable to travel to their home countries due to long consular wait times, fear of retribution, etc., go through a attorney to get the stamping done in Canada.

WHO: There are quite a few who specialize only in consular representation. And, they're VERY successful at this. They travel to Canada, ask you to be present at a rendezvous and then you go together for the interview. But it costs you quite a packet $$$!!!!

How can a attorney help in getting H1 stamped at a Canadian US consulate ?

PHAT7-- that is one awesome pic, u got my vote :)

Mine got approved in 6 months....Receipt Date - 7/5/2006: approval date 1/4/2007
Mine is EB 2

what is your PD, catagory and country please?

What does his PD, category and country have to do with anything in his question?

Anyways, what I believe is happening is USCIS wants to make sure of your continued legal status in the country and also to make sure that there are no SIGNIFICANT gaps in status.

Haing said that I believe that your attorney is correct, in that if you filed extension before expiry of the H1 you should be fine. The Pearsons memo also states "a reasonable time" for you to find another job, so your 20 days should be just fine.

Just make sure your attroney writes a good response back and not just sends the I-797's.

did u request a change, ex address change,..


No I did not made any change of address.

BTW, I did called the USCIS Service Center (If you can call it that), and customer rep. basically he readed it the same document back to me.
When I asked him what he meant, he said, "Your case has been approved and we sent you the approval letter."

Oh well. I have no option but to wait and see what they sent me.

I'll believe it when I see it!

You don't HAVE an A# yet - it is the number you get on your greencard

The A# is a case number that USCIS assigns to certain people, and then (usually, for exceptions see below) stays with you for the rest of your life, much like a Social Security Number. Most people get their A# when they apply for adjustment of status. It is also assigned if you apply for an employment authorization document (such as an F-1 OPT), a V visa, find yourself in deportation proceedings, and in a number of other situations.

Many USCIS forms ask for the A#. If you do not have one yet, simply write "None".

There actually are four separate types of A#. You can tell them apart by the number of digits and the first digit. The first kind is an eight-digit A#. These are manually assigned at local offices. If you have one of these numbers, simply treated it as if it was "0" plus the number. Nine-digit A#'s that start with the digit 1 are used for employment authorization cards, usually related to students. Nine-digit A#'s that start with the digit 3 are used for fingerprint tracking of V visa applicants. All other nine-digit A#'s (these actually always start with a 0) are permanent A#'s and remain permanently with you for life.

Therefore, the rule is: if you are asked for an A# and have one, always give this A#, regardless of whether it starts with a 0, 1 or 3. If you have both a 0-A# and a 1-A# or a 3-A#, then use the one that starts with a 0.

Thank You all for your feedback and I am still not clear if I can attend Halifax for my H1B visa, which is expired on 12/09/2006(from company A).

:) Ramba, I agree, but CBP issues I-94 based on passport expiry date. then what do you do ?

Let's say if you have a visa till dec 2010 and passport expires by june 2010. If you go out of country now and enter US again, they will issue I-94 till june 2010 only. Now a days Port of Entry CBP are careful in issuing I-94 till the expiry of the passport (not till the visa end date).

Is that what you meant ?

If yes - then i try doing that every time i go for H1B stamping... Talking as if you a temp worker going to US for helping with some extra work ...

That gives the consular officer a comfort feeling probably !

Agreed. As per my understanding, "consulting" as per the bill's definition is:
1. You are working at another employer's location (or client location)
AND
2. You report to someone at the other employer's location (i.e. you report to someone in the client's office)

So technically, you can still "consult" if you claim that you are reporting to your "employer" and not to someone at the client's location. And the show will go on.

This is my understanding of the bill. There are a lot of people who disagree with my interpretation.

Remember though, the true danger from the bill is the removal of the clause that H1B and L visa holders need not prove to the visa office that they do not intend to immigrate to the US.

sorry to break the bad news to you,but this usually means a denial. My I 140 was approved recently, the online status cleared said it's approved. I read many posts on this forum who had the same online status as yours and their I 140's were denied.

Are you sure it would a straight denial or they can ask for more evidence? And if it is a denial then what are my options? I have another I140+I485 filed with my EB3 labor. Is it possible that denial of EB2 I-140 would affect my EB3 I-140 processing. I remeber that my attorney used my EB2-!-140 receipt when filed Eb3 I-140+I-485.

.....

They should find an average amount of time a person spends on bench. Let's say the average time is 1 month out of year.

Then, they should recaliberate the salary to what would be worth 11 months of salary and set it up that way......

Here I'm playing devil's advocate. What if the salary now falls below the market rate determined by DOL? I am sure that some of these fly-by-night operators are also some of the poorer paymasters.

Hello All,

Are there any IV Members out there who are current this month (May 2011) and still waiting for their approval email / notification / GC?

I am guessing that everyone who is current this month is already approved by now and his/her visa number (along with dependents visa) is already accounted for by USCIS.

Which country did you charge your GC to?
Enjoy the freedom...:)

9 long years! Where else will it be :-)

India -obvious.

Not YET :mad::mad::mad:

I know IV members maybe uniformly divided between republicans and democrats. I find republicans views better too with the exception of their views on guns (war and other points).
however my main complaint against republicans is that the hardcore amongst them (esp the talk radio) ..spread hate. (remember to the average american ...legals and illegals look alike !!! ..)
and I agree nothing wrong in biden's remarks ..whereas Palin is a very wrong choice (not that I care much )

I would not have chosen any different words. You've been reading my mind! :)

You can call your parents here for graduation. As someone mentioned an Univ letter will def make a difference.
However "sponsoring" is a bit more tricky, given that you are on F1. If you hav steady income GA/RA you can use that to support.If you have savings from your OPT, you can use that as well. the thing taht is tricky is you do have to assume a certain amount of expense for parents for the period that they may be in US and compare that to your savings, if you are the sponsorer.
Their rejections will be in the db and could be a bother, esp if you are the only child (not sure if that is in US or you have siblings in India). Your parents will need solid proof to convince that they intend to return.Something like a return airticket etc could make some difference
My 2c. As always my note is not legal advice

Not to throw in too many variants, but how about when on EAD? Does an EAD alter the situation?

Thanks what dox did u send ?
