... But the consulting firm advised against it as according to them if she re-enters in H4 (even before Oct 1) while her H1 approval is pending, her H1 application will be cancelled and she has to restart the process all over again. Something to do with the last status on re-entry.


I think this issue used to be there. Why do you think otherwise? COS is not computerized to happen on Oct 1. It is manual process, while approving H1B, it is done. When someone enters after that on H4, then that COS is overwritten.

What lawyer is telling in this regard?

Just showed them the approval notice. Got passport stamped should I need to travel. Officer told me I have to wait. I've been reading on the boards that most people get them soon after.

Its just a blank page

What a great innovator with loafty goals.

I saw this guy on CBS 60 minutes and it was truly inspirational. He is not just an "Immigrant of the day" but an great intellect.

How come only one (OP) in this "Hi-tech-hi-skilled" immigrant community take note of this??

Have a great day.

Jump-start U.S. growth through immigration

Good article..
While Diana and Zoe are seeing the point so much, I am not sure why we are not able to raise our lobbying efforts in getting the message across.

Vsrin,
Can you please do as I requested in the other forum "greencard or Citizenship" that will soon die down..

I came across this video which talks about the swine flu and the vaccine, more importantly the side effects that the vaccine may cause in childrens. I was surprised to hear that the medical community refused to take the vaccine. Why?

I'm on currently on H1b (NO EAD). I'm applying for another job with a different company and came across the below question in thier Job Application. I don't know if the other company is willing to transfer my H1, but I would like to apply and prove myself in the interview.

If hired, can you submit verification of your legal right to work in the U.S.?

Should the answer be YES or NO? Can my current H1 be used as a proof of legal right to work???

I'm also required to acknowledge the below statement as part of the application.

I am aware that, as a condition of employment, if employment is offered, I must be authorized to work in the U.S. and demonstrate that authorization as required by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.

Appreciate if anyone of you can clarify this.

Thanks

You need to bring more clarity in your questions. Has your GC been approved and you are waiting for it to arrive in mail? or it is still pending approval. You do not need any visa to leave US. You will need it to get back in.

Be more clear in your questions and someone will reply.

sorry bout that. gc is still pending in NSC for approval.. had my valid h4... can i still use it incase i stayed in my country for like 7 mos. and gc was approved right after i left the US, can i still go back here in the US with just the valid h4????

Thanks for the quick response.
I couldnt find the form on the uscis website, which generally lists supplemental forms next to the main ones. Couldnt even find a link to this, so wasnt sure if my doc was doing the right thing or following some old procedure.

One more question : I-693 has 4 copies (one for uscis, one for self, one for doc etc). Does it matter which copy goes to uscis (since they are basically the same, except for the text in the bottom which denotes the copy).
Because I think my doc put his copy in the sealed envelope, and gave me a photocopy of that.
Should I go back and have him redo the form (he has bad handwriting too, like most doctors)?

Hi,
My I797 and I94 expired on Sept 30 2009. I have applied for an H1B extension on Sept 26 2009 using premiuim processing.
H1B extension got denied on Oct 29, 2009 after we responded to an RFE on Oct 19.
RFE required me to provide Tax returns, company wage report and employment agreement.
Can any one suggest what are my available options.
How long I can stay in US?
My lawyer is still waiting for the denial letter for more details.

Thanks

Apply for MTR it will give some time.
There is no grace period for stay. But any thing less then 180 of overstay is excused based upon your difficulties. But if you cross 180 days then you cannot enter US for three year. (Search for three year ban)

Thank you

Folks,
My I-485 is filled at Nebraska Service Center. Does anyone has the address where to send AC21 job change letter ?
I plan to file it myself.
Thanks

Can you give some inputs on my query..??

I am now thinking of joining an Indian based company and work for same company in US. With this I can always have a base in India and can think of relocate back if need arises. Can anyone tell me the recruiting procedure for some major companies for an applicant like me ? or How to get a recruited to Indian company while being in US..??

My area of expertise is ASP.net 3.5, AJAX, SQL Server., C#. I hold BE in CS and later completed MS in US. I have been working in US from past 5 years after completing MS.

Greatly appreciate any inputs on this�

Interesting queston. Now if you want to look for such a job, you need not really restrict to Indian based companies like TCS , INFY etc... A lot of MNCs have moved IT to India and other countries - A lot of American companies do have offshore development centers in other countries - right from Microsoft, Dell, HP, AMD .................the list will go on and on - a lot of employees relocated to their home countries and some also travel back and forth on business trips ...

Now, if you think that it is in your best intrests to join companies like Infosys, TCS etc.. a lot of those jobs are filled via referrals through existing employees or once in a while they have reqruiting drive across the country

Hi,

I have an approved I140 and a PD of Apr 08. I am planning to change company .

Some where in May I heard the news that end of this year USCIS is going to halt concurrent filing of I-140 and I485 and introduce an extra step called Pre-App for I485 and which can only be done after I140 approval.
1) what are the chances that this would happen?
2) What will happen if one switches company after 180 days of PreApp of 485.
can he/she invoke Ac21 ?
3) will Pre-App makes one eligible for EAD/Parole ?

Thanks
winguru

Yay! Thanks. ;)

I have a question which I have been wanting to ask for a while, so if GC is for a future job then can someone incorporate a company and work for self on EAD/AC21. If there is query for ablity to pay then at that point can you have an offer from other company and work for that company for 6 months once you get 485 approved.


Greencard is for the future job you are going to do, after getting the green card.

That helps somehow I was under impression that once you invoke AC21 you have to use EAD. I prefer to be on H1 as long as possible till GC come.

Cheers

yes. AC21 is a provision to allow you to change employers without affecting ur 485. It has nothing to do with work authorization. Your authorization can come from ead or h1 transfer.

any bill that has immigration provisions will not be taken on agenda neither by sanate nor by house any time soon... and my guess is that that time will last atleast one and half year till the presidential election is done...

Post your resume on job sites and get your H1B transferred, the easiest way would be to find desi consultants on sulekha.

I filed I-485 for me and my wife in Aug'07. I have plan to join client and would like to change the lawyer since he is a company lawyer or represent myself for my wife and my I485. If I need to self represent what are the steps? Do I have to file G28 by selecting the option other for my and send covering letter? Will it trigger any RFE? Please advice me.

How to interpret this inventory doc? I am from india (EB3 PD Sep-2003) Should I sumup all the count prior to my PD to get the total number of cases before me (PD wise)?
