Gurus,
I have completed 4 years on H1B and I converted to L2 status and applied for EAD(feb'10) thru my Spouse's L1 Visa.

My GC is in process and not filed my I-485 yet.

Now my question is, as if i stay L2 for 1 year and if i convert it back to H1B, will my H1 term Start all over and will i get additional 6 year term? Please provide your feedback

Thanks

No, you can get only remainder of 6 years (on H-1B) and you are not subject to cap either. One must be physically present outside the US for 365 days to reset clock for H-1B. However, in that case, beneficiary is subject to H-1B cap as well.

Time spent on H4 or L2 does not count towards 6 years for H-1B.

As per 8 CFR 214.2(h) (13) (i) (B)
When an alien in an H classification has spent the maximum allowable period of stay in the United States, a new petition under sections 101(a)(15)(H) or (L) of the Act may not be approved unless that alien has resided and been physically present outside the United States, except for brief trips for business or pleasure, for the time limit imposed on the particular H classification. Brief trips to the United States for business or pleasure during the required time abroad are not interruptive, but do not count towards fulfillment of the required time abroad

Hey Flash, would you be interested in a non profit Digitalosophy project?

Basically it's a file sharing app (flash, xml, php, asp, etc). I really need a logo, and some design work.

Of course, there isn't any payment as it's non profit, and geared toward Kirupa user's as long as your a member here, you can access the app.

I have another guy working with me, hopefuly I can round up a few more peeps.

Of course you will get full credit for whatever work you do on the site credits page.

this is mainly a portfolio builder, if your interested hit me up on AIM, if not pm me and i'll delete this.

EB 3 India..PD 03/24/2006. EAD approved-10/28/07; AP-01/09 , also same for the derivatives too..I-140 approved 09/13/2007, Also FP done..in OCT.

any update when can we get GC.

Almost a good percentage of IV members are ready to file their I-140/I-485. I was one of the fortunate ones who will be able to file I485, due to the date moving from 2001 to 2003 last month for Eb3. The moment I got this happy news that I can file I-485, I celebrated by contributing $20 to IV. And my request to all of you who are in good spirits as of today due to the dates being current for I140/485, please do the same. This will help IV to continue fighting for the removal of retrogression to the best extent. I am sure all of us agree with me, that there is a long way to go in the journey of this GC. So, please contribute.

Have you received finger print requests?
yes I did for the I-485 after one or two month since I got my recipt number ...

Is your PD current?
I don't know what is PD stands for !...

Is the Service Center processing I 485 applications around the RD of your 485 application?
I don't know how to check that , because when I click on the checking by the RD of the file in the service center , it doesn't show any I-485 on the list !...

and what is the IV ?

THank you soooo much in adance for all the informatioin.

I have changed jobs using EAD after 1.5 years of filing I-485. Can I file for a new Eb-2 case with my new employer and port the priority date of my EB-3 case ? Thanks.

Sure you can, as long as your new job requires a Masters or Bachelors + 5 yrs of experience and your employer is willing to start the process, you can do it. Being on EAD or H1 doesn't stop you from porting your PD.

USCIS has recently published a new fact sheet of common questions and answers for members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Immigration%20Information%20for%20Members%20of%20t he%20U.S.%20Armed%20Forces%20and%20their%20Familie s.pdf) The fact sheet contains the most frequently asked questions that USCIS receives.

The fact sheet is worth reading if you are in the Armed Forces because the answers to some of the questions are different (and usually more advantageous) to members and/or dependents of those in the Armed Forces. For instance, if you are a civilian, obtained your green card through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen and you have been married for less than two years, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f858d59cb7a5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) to remove the conditional residence and obtain your permanent green card. You must file this form even if you intend on applying for citizenship a year later. (Persons who are married to U.S. citizens may apply for citizenship in three years.)

Members of the armed forces do not have to file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence to remove conditional residence obtained through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen, if the foreign born spouse was inducted or enlisted in the military and is applying for naturalization based on qualifying military service. Thus, military personnel are permitted to "skip a step" and do not need to file form I-751.

Additional questions and answers and helpful email addresses to USCIS liaisons are included on the fact sheet.

Santa Claus?
Tooth Fairy?
Are they next too? (NVM, Santa Claus is undocumented in the first place anyway - crosses border every year, brings in unauthorized livestock and does unauthorized work including breaking and entering homes) :D

I plan to use AC21 and apply G28. Any reasonable lawyer recommendation in and around bay area would be of immense help to me.
I tried Payal Singh and she is charging $1200 for AC21 and G28.
I checked with Arjun Verma and the cost is $400 for the same.
Still checking around...

You can't.. It's very risky and not worth the trouble.. I tried and got denied.

Aw I was gonna do a recursive stamp. Shucks. Yours looks way better than mine would have though... good job!

How long is the AP valid? And does the clock start ticking from the date of AP application or from the date of AP approval?

AP valid :1 year from the issuance.
Not sure , we filed on June 1st I will let you know once I get AP.

Article by Frank Aquila of Bloomberg BusinessWeek who underscores several reasons why lifting the cap on H-1B petitions is essential for US Tech growth including the fact that "The U.S. Labor Dept. estimates that by 2014, 2 million high-tech jobs will go unfilled simply because the cap on H-1B visas has not been raised."

I loved the first shot showing both the guy and the bird looking intently down into the river. And yes he is no friend of the fishes

Thanks for your reply. What does DMV care about to decide till when the license will be valid?

1. H1 visa on the passport
2. H1 approval notice
3. Can I show them the AP?

You said that you live in IL. As far as I know, in IL, they do not care about Immigration Status - unless it is something very recent. My brother lived in IL till March 2009 - and his DL was issued for 4 years. I am sure that this is the case for Motorcycle license too.

Thanks a lot Kirupa!
