My wife has a valid H4 stamp in her passport till Jun2011 while my daughter has valid H4 but no stamp in her passport. Both are visiting Canada this week end.
My wife wants to re-enter on H4 as she does not have AP & my daughter wants to
re-enter on AP as she does not have stamp in her passport.
Gurus could you see any issue since they are travelling together?
(They are flying not driving)

Going by the trend, you have to make sure that the application reaches USCIS by April 2nd. April 1st is a holiday.
Can we send the application early, like one week in advance ?

Thanx nk2

There should be no problem. I have gone there before and going again now next week for H1 stamping and plan to take my personal car. I have Canadian PR though, but I don't think it should matter.

Bump ^^^^^

My I-485 is pending, was filed in July, 07. My PD is June, 04 (EB2 India). I-140 is approved. I have to leave the US for a year to work on an expat assignment beginning last week of December, 07. I have my EAD and AP. Also, I am on a valid H1-B until May, 2008 but will be applying for an extension until May, 2009.

Please let me know your thoughts if it would be ok for me to leave the US for a continuous period of one year while my I-485 is pending? I plan to renter the US on H-1B and not EAD/AP.

Also, does one need to be physically present in the US to renew EAD and AP? My EAD and AP will expire in September, 07 but will I be able to renew them when I am back in Jan,09?

For the period I am gone, do I need to pay any taxes on my foreign-earned income if I am going to a jurisdiction with which India has a favorable tax treaty? If my I-485 is pending but I am not working in the US, I do not need to pay taxes for the income earned abroad if I do not meet the "substantial prsence test" (183 days)?

Any thoughts will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I entered on a H4 on my New Zealand passport and it is valid 2010. I now have a H1B ie a I-797A and a new I-94 that is also valid till 2010. I'm leaving the country for the first time to go to Australia.

Do I need to get a new visa stamp for my passport? If I need to get a new visa stamp, do I need to go back to New Zealand or can I do it in other countries?

Can I travel with my passport which shows the H4 visa and carry with me my I-797A and new I-94 to re-enter the country?

Thanks

thanks desi, thats exactly I wanted to know.

longjurney - what you wrote is one solution to the problem but the question was 'it is really a problem'...thanks for replying though.

Bumping it.....

I had a opt which expired on the 9th. of november and on June 08 i applied to start green card process with help of a lawyer.I have a master degrees from the US and my lawyer told me that i did not need to apply for a H1 visa or a work permit and could directly go for green card. we started the process in June 08 and I applied to eta 9089 on September 08 and could not get any reply back for almost 5 months. My lawyer tells me that it is normal to not get an answer for so long even thought I think we had to get an answer in 3 to 4 weeks after September. Now, my lawyer suggests me to go back to my country as my status will be put of status and I could continue my green card process from back home.

I would like to know if my lawyer is telling me the truth or my lawyer made any mistake..

I need help!!!


You are out of status since Jan 7th. (Nov 9 + 60 days)

Who filed for ETA-9089, Application for Permanent Employment Certification? Typically it is the Employer. I guess, you are EB-2/EB-1 and RoW, since only in that case one file for I-140/I-1485 and can jump from OPT to AOS.

In my opinion, your lawyer took very aggressive approach and should have had Plan B.

Good Luck.

and it's still valid for almost 2 years.

If, say, I find another employer in a few months, can I use the visa that I have now?

If so, can I start working for that employer once he files a new petition, or do I have to wait until the new approval notice?

What status are you in now ?

I changed mine a couple of months ago, I did not receive any RFE.

Hi

My 6 years of H1B visa expires on Feb 2012. Can I transfer to H4 Dependant Visa on my wife's H1b Visa or F1 Visa for one year and after one year re-apply for a fresh H1B visa? or I have to go outside USA for one year and then Apply for fresh H1B Visa.

Thanks,

Raja

I agree with Steve, the competition and advances are amazing...

expensive for those that like the pointy end......
