@chanduv23 - Yes it does look like this is needed, for people to realize that, this is the only way they can get their own Green card on time!

Looking for good motivators, for people, to make them campaign for their own benefit............I know it sounds strange

Members - IV is not going to benefit as much as you, by doing the Advocacy days

Only 15 days left. This is our last chance until late 2013, or even later, with the presidential elections.

Enforcement is increasing and it will get worse. As you may know H1 and H4s are getting a lot of 221(g), GC applications are getting RFEs.

This is a critical time to show that we are valuable to the economy and contribute and create jobs. We have to improve our position, desperately - whether its H1b or Green Card.

THE ONLY WAY IS ADVOCACY.

PS: This must really hurt the anti-immigrants. you can play with the reds all you want, but its not changing anything.
.

buy a return ticket . Cathay Pacific has tickets valid for a year. They have no change fees etc. so you can change the return date whenever you want.

Rates vary for 4 months, 6 months and 1 year return tickets. Decide as per your convenience.

I am currently in US on H4. I had applied for my H1B while in India , through a consultant based in US and have the approval with me now.

The problem is that I might have to go back to India next year for good, due to which I wont be able to utilize my H1b for working in the US.

My question is:

1) Since I wont be coming back to US as of now, what if I do not get my H1 visa stamped. Can I use my approval(I-797)in the present consulting firm's name, for getting H1b stamped through any other company in future.


What is the validity on the H1 ? Did you get this H1 before you got H4 stamped and before landing in USA on H4 ?

It is not possible to get the stamping on company "B" if you have H1 from company "A".



2) I understand that stamping is needed only for reentering US. What if i just get the stamping done and still do not come back. In that case, can I still transfer my stamped H1B to any other company without working at all for the consulting firm whose stamp I have on my passport.


You can get the stamping done overseas based on the current H1. You can enter US based on that stamping. You are expected to work for that company to transfer teh H1 to a different company. You will be asked to send at least one pay stub (more some times in case of RFE) with your transfer application.


Any help is greatly appreciated, I need to decide fast. Thanks a lot.

Good news is that I'm working again. While I was out of a job, I converted from H1 to EAD under my previous employer (consultancy).

Now, I've finally found a job although this is a full time opportunity. I'm going to be using my EAD / AC21 .

Question: Since I'm no longer working for my previous employer, they are going to be revoking my I140 next month. I believe this is not a problem since my case has been pending for more than 180 days so that's a good thing.. What I do want to know is whether my status is in any jeopardy since I haven't generated any income for about 3 months?


Thanks for any replies. I really need to find out the answer to this. A lot of forum info suggests that I'm ok but I'd very much like to hear any / all viewpoints on this issue.

Don't worry. You are not alone. I will give you company. Mine is stuck in PERM
since OCt 2005. Not 10 months yet, but almost there...

hi,
Congrats on your marriage. If you are a U.S. Citizen and Husband entered the U.S. in a legal fashion (with a visa or any other LEGAL way) and can prove this, and if he has never been deported, or deported in absentia and has never committed a crime that would cause him inadmissible to the U.S, then you, the petitioner would file form I-130 for husband and at the same time he would file form I-485 to adjust status to a U.S. Permanent Resident. Both petitions would go together in one envelope to one location. Alternatively, you can file form I-130, wait for its approval, and once approved, your husband would need to file form I-485 to adjust status. I hope this clarifies a little bit? Good Luck.
Once again, if your husband has no criminal history and he entered U.S. legally, this is a straightforward case, assuming you can show the necessary income. Both form instructions explain how to do it and how to submit the applications.

Unfortunately her husband is an undocumented alien. He is not in legal status. So the case is not straight forward one.

Its a report from your employer saying how many people responded, how many were INTERVIEWED and why were citizens not given your position, if they applied for it , based on the recruitment drive. If there were responses, company has no choice but to conduct interviews and come with a legitimate reason for turnig down citizens. So your lawyer is right.

Pay your lawyer after the work is done, not before, or pay in installments. That keeps the pressure on them.

Hello,

My PERM ad was placed and the lawyer said there are responses and company will have to take recruitment steps before he can file.

Company say he has done recruitment and sent report to lawyer. Lawyer says no, I have not received recruitment report. What is this recruitment report ? Is the PERM application not strong if there are responses.

I am really struggling between lawyer and company. Any thoughts. They seem to be dodging me after taking money. If i have some details from experinced gurus, I can talk to them. Else, they just delay after taking legal fee.

Please help

I dont think the exam results "expire". My guess is that they misplaced your wife's results/paperwork or something like that.

Another explanation is that they wanted confirmation of your wife's results.

These days Medical RFEs are very common. No one really knows why they ask these sometimes.

But get another medical checkup done and send it in, and you should be good.

Good Luck.


Both my wife and I applied for our AOS together during the July fiasco. My wife received a RFE for another medical exam today. We both did our medical at the same time and were submitted with the AOS application but only my wife received the RFE for medical. I did receive another RFE but not for medical.

Why would she receive the RFE for medical? Does the medical exam also expire as the finger print does? If it does expire then why would only one of us receive the medical RFE and not the other?

I agree that it is trendy, but sometimes it is fun to mess around with trends, learn them, then edit them in your own way.

I don't follow much tutorials. Pretty much everything I use in my images are self done. I probably end up doing it the hard way, but oh well.

please post your comments

Thanks :) I while back I wrote an Action that produced the effect because I used to use the fade out effect a lot, but my Photoshop got screwed up somehow and I had to remove it. So I don't have that Action anymore:(

Maybe I should remake it, I don't know, I don't use the effect as much anymore. I think I could just do it by hand.

For once, I like what Grassley is doing.

All antis says something good about one program and bad for rest.. they want to kill all program one by one. Today in hearing anti's tone was to reduce total immigration.

this is only way they can reduce is making one group happy while bashing at another, but you never know when is your turn.

I should say if they are really worried about L1 and its fraud why not to scrap L1 and grant GC for all l1holders. why don't they say like that ?

take it all offff... is azzy tryin to seduce us?;D jk.... nice job sofar, very colorful.

Did this ever go anywhere?

Is someone working to fix the issues with the IV Tracker? It is such an important tool, but still has bugs to be resolved.

When you try to restrict by country or Country of charge, it doesnt bring back any results.

Also, if you try to sory by priority date, the sorting doesnt seem to work.

Yes we are working on it and will be enhancing it. Please keep adding your details to it.

O.K. Once you get EAD being a H4 Visa holder you can do multiple jobs in multiple field as you were having H4 status. But now if you are having H1 status then you can do multiple jobs with all jobs having similar description to the job description for what your original employer filed your green card (485).

Now real question should be "Should I use EAD or Should I be on H1/H4?"

If U choose to use your EAD than from that moment your H status expires. In normal circumstances you would not care. But in reality your 485 process will still continue for years and say unfortunately something bad happen to your 485 process and get denied then you will have one choice that is to leave USA. But if you have maintained your H status not using EAD then in that kind of scenario you still keep working and staying in USA.

Understood..but in my case (H4) ..i am anyways not working...EAD is anyday better than H4...atleast i can work. and my husband will retain his H1 status. any suggestions?

Since the topic of giving preference to professional athletes has come up, I'd like to relay an the experience I had when I came to the U.S. for a job interview in August of '01; when going through U.S. customs at Logan Airport (this was pre 9/11), I was arbitrarily "singled out for interrogation" for TWO HOURS! During that time, a customs official made some small talk with me while we waited for the supervisor to arrive and he asked me if I was a hockey player (since I am Canadian) to which I replied "no"; he then informed me that was too bad because otherwise I would pass through without any problems or questions! Too bad they didn't "single out" Atta and the boys the same way two weeks later- or maybe they went through as hockey players!

the problem is my company is not willing to give me any documents unless i loose my job. Also when you mentioned ASAP, do i have to get a job within # of days

any suggestions.
