Back in 1982, when I left the INS to enter private practice, the number of H-1 visas was unlimited. All professionals, including registered nurses, were eligible for H-1 visas. Also, there was no maximum duration for H-1s. U.S. employers could petition for H-1 workers all year long, yet the program did not generate the amount of controversy that it does today. It was a market-based system which allowed U.S. employers to fill jobs in a global economy, plain and simple. The Immigration Act of 1990 ushered in the present era of government control of �H-1B� temporary visas. For the first...

Thanks a lot Mr.Shusterman. We need more people like you to make our voice heard.

My wife had the same situation - was going to be out of town on the scheduled day. She went to the Dallas office on a Wednesday or Thursday and explained the situation to them. They said they were busy that day and said she had upto 89 (?) days to do it. They said she could walk in on any Saturday within that time frame. They also said that there was no need to reschedule. Sure enough, she went in on a Saturday 2 or 3 weeks after the scheduled date and they took her fingerprints.

Could you send the contribution details to IV. You can either PM or send an email.

My lawyer explicity told "NOT" to flipflop even without me asking.

My attorney has asked for the I-485 to be printed:

double sided with Flip to Top option.

Did anyone else do the same?

This is going to be interesting.. Finally someone speeking about legal immigration..

i think you needed two light sources for this, one coming in from the left to lessen or remove the shadows. Some more DOF? Yes and No depends on what you're after. Flwoers of this colour are so hard to photo IMHO. Reds and flowers always give me grief. I like this rendition of the colour.. Were you happy?

looks like there at least 3 ;)

i think only four ..Comeon SoCal Folks join in..

labor is indeed more than 1 year old. Are you completely sure about this rule since having an approved 140 gives you a 3 year extemsion

Yes, unfortunately you are not eligible for I140 premium processing as you can extend your H1 beyond 6 yrs based on labor > 1yr old.

USCIS opened this premium processing for a VERY narrow group of people: "who can not extend H1 visa beyond 6 yrs by any other means, who are currently on H1 status". However, due to this very narrow inclusion criteria, they have received a very few premium processing requests (as most people either have older labor or are in different status by now). And they LOVE money, so they will soon come up with broader premium processing, (probably in october or so when new fiscal year starts when they usually go in "hibernation")

Hope it helps.

I am planning to get my H1 stamped during my next trip to India and have a couple of questions

1) Have anyone used Yourmaninindia or Sahara Care or any other service to deposit H1 forms at VFS Mumbai. For Mumbai consulate, the forms need to be submitted 3 days prior to Visa Interview and they do not accept courier :mad:

2) I recently found that if you have an appointment at one of the consulates in Mexico, you can Fax the 797 and get PMIS verified in advance.
Do we need to submit the entire H1 fee for appointment ? If there is a cheaper way, I am thinking of taking an appointment , get PMIS verified and cancel the appointment.

3) Any idea if they do a PMIS verification for H1 extensions (same company) as well ?

Depends on where you are going and the route you are taking. You have to clarify transit visa issues. Many airlines will require a transit visa if you don't have the green card.

Do you have FedEx (or any other service) mailing delivery receipt and what is the date on that.

Hi all,

I am on H4 visa now. Got a long awaited job (with EAD) which will start in June 2011. My I-94 is till september 2010 becoz H4 is stamped till that date. But I have I94 with I-797 till June 2011(6 years of H4). I want to travel to India before i start my job, probably in may. My husband is still on H1 visa eventhough he has EAD.

1.Can i travel on H4 status as i m not holding a job right now? My 797 is only till june 2011. If i go for stamping, it is more likely to get rejected.

2. Can i use EAD and AP eventhough i am not working rightnow? Are there any chance of denying my reentry with AP?

I cannot afford to loose my job and due to personal reasons, i can't avoid the travel. Please give your valuable advice.

Your husband could have answered this question with his 8th year extension in progress. But here it is, once you start working for a company on H1 and they file ur GC starting with LC and if the process is pending for a year then u get automatic extensions going forward. With PERM the LC is getting approved more faster and you should have it within the year. As for H1 to wait until oct 2007 that will be for new H1's if u were already on a h1 before you can convert to one anytime not waiting until oct2007. :)

My passport is expiring in March. I live in NY metro . Does anyone knows the procedure to renew the passport while in the USA. Please share your experience.

Hi,

I had applied for my H1 extension in June 2008 and waited for some time and then upgraded it to premium processing in July. I did not get any result on my H1 extension but in the meantime my GC was approved in August. My question is will i be able to get my H1 processing fee back, at least the premium processing fee. I heard if your H1 processing doesn't get any result in certain time you will be entitled to get your money back.

Thanks in advance

i see em... but i'm having trouble with DNS for some stupid reason...

here's the upload

If she will not be able to get F1, what will be her status in USA ?

If she has filed for I-485 then she will be in Adjustment status - allowing her to study, work on EAD and travel overseas on AP. If she hasn't applied for I-485 when her F1 is denied then she will have to come back on H4 - she can study but not work.

please reply..

I don't think walking in with 485 receipt will work. Call USCIS 800 number and check the status of FP notice, if required open a service request. I'm a july 2 filer, did not receive notice till 10/10 - I called on 10/12 the CSR told me that my FP notice is schedule to be printed and waiting for an appointment with local ASC. In a week time, I received a FP notice, and gonna for FP end of this month. Hope this helps

Hi Saroj,
Thanks for the info. I have not got FP notice and it has been over 4 months from I-485 receipt date. Do you think ASC will entertain FP request if I just walk in with I-485 receipt?
