* However, company Y's legal department came back saying that they cannot apply for an H1-B transfer because the current law doesn't allow transfers from an H1-B extension (after the original 6-year H1-B has expired).
I have never heard of such a law. Contact attorney for clarification.

USCIS has been saying that they control the flow of visa numbers because they are expecting huge rush of 245i cases. But is there any law or clause which says that they have to work in sync with DOL. I think what the law says is that they should approve the received cases accroding to priority dates and don't have to collaborate with any other department or agency. What makes USCIS so sure that all the cases at DOL will be certified and eventually come to 485 stage. If they are so sure that all of these cases will be certified then why do we even need labour certification process. I think we should lobby the USCIS to release a quarter of yearly quota every 3 months and concentrate on already filed cases and not on whats expected.
Secondly we should try to find out if all the alloted visas in this year were used up or not. Another doubt I have is, when is a visa number used when USCIS starts working on a case or when a case is approved. If its used up when a case is approved then what happens to the visa numbers which are released in the last month of the year, Are all of those cases approved in one month?

WASHINGTON�In light of the recent earthquakes and tsunami in Japan, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reminds Japanese nationals of certain U.S. immigration benefits available upon request.
USCIS understands that a natural disaster can affect an individual�s ability to establish or maintain lawful immigration status. Temporary relief measures available to eligible nationals of Japan may include:
The grant of an application for change or extension of nonimmigrant status for an individual currently in the United States, even when the request is filed after the authorized period of admission has expired;
Re-parole of individuals granted parole by USCIS;
Extension of certain grants of advance parole, and expedited processing of advance parole requests;
Expedited adjudication and approval, where possible, of requests for off-campus employment authorization for F-1 students experiencing severe economic hardship;
Expedited processing of immigrant petitions for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs);
Expedited employment authorization where appropriate; and
Assistance to LPRs stranded overseas without immigration documents such as Green Cards. USCIS and the Department of State will coordinate on these matters when the LPR is stranded in a place that has no local USCIS office.
Visitors traveling under the Visa Waiver Program may visit a USCIS local office (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=e39c0b89284a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=e39c0b89284a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60a RCRD) for assistance. Japanese nationals who are at a U.S. airport may contact the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office there.
For more information on USCIS humanitarian programs, visit www.uscis.gov (http://www.uscis.gov/) or call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

What if you have AP but not used it, instead used the re-validation rule to enter into the country, using H1. Would that invoke abandonment of 485?
The scenario covers people who are working on H1B and have their I-485 pending and have not applied for AP and have a expired H1B visa stamp on their passport. It doesn't matter if they have a H1B extension on hand with a new I-94 stub. If they travel abroad, it could very well be considered as an abandonment although they might be permitted to re-enter under "automatic visa revalidation" rule.
If I've I-485 pending, i would never travel without an AP.

Hello,
First, your international student adviser, should have notified you that your I-20 was about to expire. This is what USCIS requires them to do. Actually the SEVIS system automatically notifies IS advisers about I-20 expiring. Now, having said that, no, you cannot work. You need to apply for reinstatement and wait until it gets approved. Reinstatement into F-1 are very difficult as you need to show that you fell out of status because of circumstances beyond your control. You will probably need to argue that your adviser had failed to notify you and that you kept attending school and it was only a few days of out of status.

Hi,
I am working for "Company A" on L1B from Nov 2006. In 2008 April "Company B" filed H1B and it got approved and received approval letter with I-94 effective from Oct 1st 2008.
After getting H1B I did not move to Company B and continued work with "Company A" on L1B Visa. To void the I-94 received with my H1B Approval I traveled my Home country on Sep 28th 2008 and returned to US on Oct 6th 2008 on L1B visa and continuing my Job with "Company A"
My H1B Employer (Company B) did not revoke my H1B since I have not started working for him.
Now Company B is going to renew my L1B visa for another 2 years.
If they renewed my L1B Visa, what will happen to my H1B?
In future if I want to switch to H1B, can i switch to H1B with my current H1B or do I need to file new H1B with fresh quota (Which opens in April)?
I am really tensed now and I am not understanding whether I should go for L1B extension or do I need to switch to H1B immediately to keep my H1B status alive? What I want to now is for some time i want to continue my job with Company A on L1B by going for L1B renewal and later once the recession is over I want to change my status to H1B? can I do this?
Please advice me what steps I should take to continue in USA?

Hi all,
I'm wondering if there are any successful cases where CSPA and the Patriot Act were combined to ensure that the child remains under 21? My son's name has been deleted from the derivative beneficiary's list, however, he can remain eligible under this F-4 petition if the Consular calculate his age with Patriot Act 45 days. In that case, he can benefit from CSPA. Our case details as below:
Priority Date: Oct. 16, 1996
Approval Date: Dec. 4, 1996
Days of Petition Pending: 49 days
Child's 21st Birthday: May 31, 2007
Child's age when visa became current: 21 years 62 days
Need your advices. Thanks!
In Adlac 2
It say if both the CSPA and Patriot apply then the better benefit should be accorded to the alien
If patriot act does apply add 45 days onto his birthday, but the visa number did not become concurrent till 62 days past birthday.
How did you get on with the attorney?

Hi All,
I have a question. I am working for a company on a H1-b visa status. And i applied for GC using a different company as future employment and i got my EAD and AP.
What is my stand here? Can i use the EAD and work a completely different company? or do i need to transfer my H1 to the company which did my GC?
Does AC21 apply here? (Because i haven't worked for the company at all who sponsored my GC)
Thanks,
Kris
Go to EAD . Work partimefor future employer and keep working partime for current employer. Once you go to EAD there is no fulltime and partime..Everything is employment
You will prove that you have worked for GC sponsor . After a few months, use AC21 and move back to current employer .
