Visa bulletin date is set to April 01 for Oct 09 bulletin. For Sep 09 bulletin, EB3 is U

I thought it was June 1st, 02?

they're all very good! :thumb:

I heaard you can work for multiple employers on multiple h1b's part time but one job must always be fulltime.

I have ben working with employer A on an H1B ( even labor and I-140 approved, PD-April2009) and planning to apply for H1 transfer now through employer B.

After the transfer is approved for B, if I change my mind and decide to continue to work with curent employer A, can I do that ?

Thanks,
Kumar

Thank you all for the advice and inputs!!

As far as I know, he/she will be eligible only if Labor and 140 are approved or labor is pending for 365 days.

so filing I-130 altogether is a new process and filing I-130 will not change my PD for EB3.
Thanks

Hello I am in H4 in usa.
I have applied for change of status to H1b this year, but still now I haven't received the decision form USCIS.
In the mean time, my H4 status along with I-94 is getting experied by the end of this month Oct. I am not able to file H4 extension as this would overlay my probable H1b status.
Now, If I dont get any decision on my H1b and I don't file H4 extention by the end of this month, what would be status after that? Would I become Out Of Status? What should I do under this situation?

You have 2 options

1. Convert your h1 to premium processing and hopefully get it approved before
your current h4 expires

2. apply for h4 extension - and wait for your h1 application to get through

To be really conservative - its best to file for H4 extension anyway irrespective
of whether you convert your h1 to premium

Dont let your h4 expire cause you wont have any valid status - if for some reason your h1 gets denied

Good luck!

Hello,

Iam currently on OPT till April 16th 2010. I have been offered a Job in a non profit organization for the position of an accountant. The current rate I will be getting paid is 16$ per hour and the company has agreed to apply for my H1B in March 2010.

The company that I will be working for are totally unaware of the Immigration laws as I will be their first H1B hire. Now according to the department of labour, the minimum hourly salary rate is 19.93$ an hour for an accountant.

If the company appiles for my H1B before april 15th 2010, by when will they have to increase my horuly rate to 19.93 $ ?

Should the increase happen on October 1st 2010 when the H1B kicks in,

or should the increase happen when the H1B gets approved ( between april - october )

or should the company increase my salary to 19.93$ an hour even before we apply for H1B ?

or should the increase in the pay happen on the date of expiry of my OPT, i.e. April 16, 2010


I also know that I am eligible for H1B cap gap (for the period between the expiry of OPT and the date the H1B kicks in).


Hoping for your valuable replies as soon as possible.

Thanks

Hello,
I entered this country (US) on a F1 visa. I've completed my masters and during my post-completion OPT I was offered a job by a company who filed my H1. It was approved in Nov 09 and was valid until Nov 2012. But in Apr 2010 I was laid off and since H1 doesn't have any grace period and I couldn't find an employer ready for a transfer, so I changed my status back to F1. I'm currently working for an IT consulting company (full time) at their client location. The client would like to hire me full time. But since I'm working on my CPT, and do not have a valid H1 visa is it possible that the Client can simply transfer my existing H1 or do they have to file a new H1 as my status has changed. Please suggest as I'm very Confused how to deal with this situation as I do not want to lose an opportunity. Also please do throw some light on any grey areas if present.

Thanks

Pradeep.

i'll be at work at that time, hopefully i'll read it online. Thanks fot the tip.

Can scanned copy be submitted to USCIS for affidavit of birth or we have to submit the affidavit in original?

Thanks

Yes,

Yes u need to submit only scanned copies/photocopies to uscis along with i-485.And keep originals with u.U might be asked to show the originals only at the time of interviews and also incase if they have sent u any RFE.
I too submitted the scanned copies as per my lawyer's instructions.

#2 is my favorite. I find myself pondering where the steps might lead. You composed them very well into the scene. And I really like the moss both on the ground and on the lantern ... unlike today's society, it seems to say "hey, I'm in no rush!" The image has a very peaceful feeling about it that I like a lot.

Hello,
I am stuck in India (along with my husband who) after leaving USA where I am living for over 5 years. I just came for 2 wks here in India to get stamping done at the Chennai Consulate. They kept my passport and said they will give visa, in next 3-4wks..Its past a month and 3 wks.. I am force to live with relatives. I can't even go to my home country without my passport. Everything I own is back in USA. How do I get back to it? I am on H4 and my husband is H1B. I am holding another country's nationality. I can't even visit my home country without my passport. Why did the Consulate kept the passports for this long? :confused:Why are we being treated this way?? Why didn't they do a security check where I was living for over 5 years? I am so frustrated being stuck and worry about my home left unattended back in the US.
:mad:
Any advise? Can I contact someone to help expedite this process?

Did you contact the consulate if they already sent it? Maybe it got lost in the mail or was returned to the consulate. Also, could be background checks. In any case, you should contact, VFS or the US Consulate to get answers. I think numbers for VFS/Consulate should be available on the consulate website.

Please update your profile..

Here are the answers:
1. No, you can not change the profile and should look for something which is similar to what was stated on your I-140.
2. You can switch to a new job provided your I-485 is pending for more then 180 days, which seems to be the case and the new job is similar to what is on I-140.

NOTE: NO, you can not switch from IT to finance. I mean you can but if you receive any RFE then you will have a big issue.

I am currently working as a Functional Solution Architect in an IT firm.

Current Status: H1B (6th year)

GC status as follows:

Priority Date: April 2007
EAD received: October 2007
I-140 is approved.

Under the AC21 portability I believe I can change my employer without affecting my GC process. However I want to change my field of work from IT to Finance. My question is:

1. Is that permissible and can I use my EAD to work for a new employer in a different field.
2. If the above is not permissible and If I change my job in the same field, can my previous employer cancel my GC process, even though my I-140 is approved. If they can, how can I mitigate that possibility.

Thanks in advance for your response.

belmontboy ,

I am in same boat.. I am going mumbai india in feb for stamping. Where are you going for stamping. I heard lately that there is no way we can pre check PIMS. I have asked my lawer but haven't got reply yet.. If you lawer has sent duplicate copy of H1b document to Kentucky Visa center then there should not be issue.( 99.99 % should be safe ).. If not then there is risk involved.

Do you know how a lawyer can send the duplicate copy to Kentucky visa center, my h1 got approved 3-4 weeks ago, can we still send the duplicate copy to kentucky visa center ??? Did you do that ??

I think he has to give some BDS exam first to get a scroe and then using that he should be able to apply to various colleges. The course fees is about $200,000 . So if you can get admission somewhere and can pay the fees then he can be minting money soon:D

Well, if the process is enter a name into some application to await a response, then I would pay 15cents a name. Why pay $4?

I have not done it recently for h1b ,but i did it for my parent visitor visa from india chennai consulate.

I think once you fill forms it is valid for 1 week. You can directly try to schedule appointment using the saved forms for 1 week. I observed that for vistor visa appointments they open every thrusday /friday night indian timings and they make dates avaialble for only one week of the following month. and i see they are being filled up in just one hour after they open. Same might be happening for H1bs schedules.

I'm trying to schedule an appointment for non-immigrant visa in August/September timeframe from last one week without any success. After filling the forms, and continuing further for checking the available dates, I get a message saying : " Interview appointments not currently available, please check back in 24 hours. "



I would really appreciate if you can educate me of what I might be doing wrong.

Thanks,

Ashish

Silverlight can be deployed on networks using something more centralized like group policy. I don't believe average end users can install SL3 without admin priviliges.

The best place to learn more is the SL Deployment Guide: http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/archive/2007/09/28/deploying-silverlight-in-the-enterprise.aspx

Anyone out there knows the answer?

I am currently working for Company A which sponsors my H1B. I wonder if I can work for another company on a part time basis. What's the requirement for concurrent H1B filing? And does concurrent H1B filing requires a new H1B application against the quota? Please provide guidance.
