Just for updating everyone, I got my stamping done successfully at Tijuana. They give the passport next day as expected, so just make sure to make the arrangement for the night. It's pretty cool for H-1B people both for full-time plus contractors, albeit for contractors they sometimes will call/e-mail your employer to verify. It will usually happen in a day or two and they'll issue the visa then. Let me know if anyone wants any particular details on Tijuana/H-1B stamping there.

I have asked this question for 3rd straight day and yet no answer. Is it some kinda secret deal?. Thought its a public forum.

Come on my friend, Admins are like you and me. They are not having any magic wands. You may want to post your concerns in the public forum or the best thing is to contact your State chapter representative who will conduit you to the Admins.

These are tough times, so hang in there. IV is committed for our cause.

Receipts usually sends to Attorney, who represent your case, if you signed G-28 form. You only get Notice for FP, Original EAD, AP. So don't worry abt the receipt. It should be with your attroney.

What if the lawyer does not have the receipt notice either? Will I need a copy of the receipt notice or original when applying for EAD/ AP renewal? or can I use any other supporting documents?

If this happens it will be a bad news as given environment I 140 approval takes years . Very soon there will be a backlog in I 140 stage.. They are just swaping backlog from one stage to another..

I 485 : Not yet applied.
EAD / AP : Not yet

I was wondering, looking at your signature... Didn't u get a chance to file for 485 in July? Just curious.

She can work for any company she wants... her EAD is not limited to any job/profession... So she can work for Company B or C or D

PS - My wife works for company B using AP/EAD that came as a result of my I485 done by my employer. So she should enter on AP and use EAD to work. No issues. She can always have the H1 in her back pocket for back up... I would consult a lawyer if I were you before using the H1...

She can not get an H4 though... thats seen as abandoning your AOS status...

Hope this helps...

Are you sure about this? My wife is on H1-B right now having EAD and AP both and she wants to quit her job. So I am planning to switch her from H1-B to H4. Will that abandon her I-485 filed as a dependent?

I am new here, Could anyone explain what is Texas State Chapter Activation about? how does that work? thanks!

My laywer has adviced me that the skin test is mandatory

Excerpt from Gregs blog and comments :(

"Things are going SOUTH . No agreement and No relief.
Class action is the only option. USCIS just wanted to test the waters and now they don't want to settle. Every thing else is just rumor mill. Every one who claimed to know the insider info was just taken for a ride. Welcome to beltway politics 101."


OK. Now we have this new thread about the "comment" made some anonymous user "south" made on a blog by siskind, and siskind himself is looking at IV for new updates. Man, give us a break. That comment was not made by siskind, but it was made by some user on his blog.

Thanks, but keep moving.

I am a Commercial/Industrial Architect and have allready had to turn down 2 jobs this year making double what i make here in hicksville Fresno CA due to the fact that i do not have a green card.
As far as the investor visa,i have looked into this too with my attorney and i am not elligible,even though i have the funds,due to the fact that my previous attorney did not file my papers on time in 2000 and therfore had to refile under 245i in 2001 and i am paying the price along with 30 other clients of the crooked attorney who ran away to another state.
My earnings this yr were above your guys fugures but Uncle Sam takes a very large chunk due to being single,no real estate in my name and no tax write offs.


lucky7: Are you a licenced architect? Construction Manager? or a Jun-Architect?. You said $92/hr

it will look like the WaMu ad. buncha ppl in suits behind a baricade.

dont get carried away...follow the organizers...admin delete this thread.

My wife is not H4, she is working on EAD and we applied her I-485 last July. She has to travel to India for an emegency. We applied for AP last month, have the receipt but it is not approved. Is it okay if she travels to India without AP approval? I will be here and I can take her approved AP when I go there after two months.

I heard that if she travels without AP, her I-485 is considered abonded. Is this true? Can we apply for her H4 (as I am still on H1). Any advice on how to get her back?

Thanks!

I think you should not take this risk. Once you leave the country without AP, the application is considered as revoked as per my reading somewhere. I am trying to find link.

I couldn't help post a reply. I was trying not to add to the buzy server traffic.

Isn't it amazing, thousands of people are waiting with bated breath for the USCIS update news and some idiot opens a new threads to start a baseless rumor. And claims that news comes from Greg. This so called news as it turns out is a comment by some troll "south" on Greg's website.

Our friend here who opened this thread fails to even see the connection between the id handle "south" and his post" going south." Honestly, things like this make you wonder, how can such people call themselves highly skilled.[I agree with you sir, Every body is aware that all of us are stressed, but please take a moment before starting a thread and the validity of the news/QUOTE]

^^^^^^^ bump

Appreciate any advice...thanks

habils advice is best at this point: try to get a quota-exemp H1 (if you cant extend your F1 and study some more)

Wait for ITIN to be processed and once get the ITIN amend your tax filing.

you seems to know everything man...whats your PD sir.

well said....it is surprising how US can afford to turn a blind eye to the mounting problems faced by legal immigrants....

The consulate usually do need more info if you work for Pharmaceucatical or Biotech company. I work for a Pharmaecutical company and when I had gone for my Visa interview they were very specific to ask me if my work deals in any kind of research in chemicals etc. Since I work in the IT department and has nothing to do with reasearch they did not ask for any more info.
I think your wife should be fine if she furnishes the info that they need.

That means you have no reputation at all :D :D :D .. kidding.

I think all that means is that no one has given you any reputation point yet.

Man, this is so funny, Somebody give me some good or atleast some bad reputation :D :D :D :D

Any updates from people in this situation ?

Please don't give incorrect answers.

All three corporation types (C-Corp, S-Corp, and LLC) have limited liability to its shareholders.

The main difference in these corp types are
1. How much record keeping is done
2. The way taxes are computed and filed with IRS
3. The kind of expenses allowed to deduct
4. C-Corp and LLC can carryover profits to next year(s), but S-Corp has to pass on profit (or loss) to the shareholders at the end of every calendar year.

For S-Corp, the shareholders must be Permanent Resident or US Citizen.

I have corporation of my own and this is C-Corp (due to kind of expenses I can deduct and/or write-off). I did all the incorporation work myself without any help from CPA. Incorporation is pretty straight forward and very easy. There are good books in Nolo Press on Corporate Incorporation.

Thanks, nice reply.

Question: I am on EAD and inovked AC21 and working with new employer. I am planning to register a company confused which one to go with LLC or C Corp., by the way I live in California, San Jose. I heard that if you register a LLC in California every year you have to around $800 tax fee, weather you do a business or not, is it true?

If I go with C-Corp, shall I liable to $800 as well, any ideas??

What is the deference between LLC and C-Corp? I know every state has deferent laws but I would appreciate if someone can answer my questions from California state.

Thanks in advance.
