Gurus,
I have completed 4 years on H1B and I converted to L2 status and applied for EAD(feb'10) thru my Spouse's L1 Visa.
My GC is in process and not filed my I-485 yet.
Now my question is, as if i stay L2 for 1 year and if i convert it back to H1B, will my H1 term Start all over and will i get additional 6 year term? Please provide your feedback
Thanks

as far as what i heard from lawyer
the case to be done by AILA will probably pick up a few cases in particular. But the whole lot who probably applied and will apply in July and get rejected stand to benefit. So my lawyer also advised me to file
bigger question was ; are these applications actually getting rejected?
it will be good to get some directions from IV core as to what are the pros and cons of this..

Congrates.. I know you are happy and why not..
Guys,
I just wanted to share some good news. I had two approved LCs. One with PD EB3 ROW March 05 and the other with ROW EB3 March 06. I had already filed the I-140 for the March 06 but not for the March 05 one. That was because of the way the job requirement was worded in that LC. The attorney was not sure if it would be approved. Anyway since the earlier PD became current in June I decided to take a chance and file I-140 for that earlier PD LC with PP. And what do you know, it got approved today and that allowes me to file for AOS this month. It was a bit of a gamble with money but it worked!!! :cool:

I havn't gotten mine yet. Filed on Sept 11th at VSC. Check seems to have cleared though -according to the Attorney. However I guess the delay in my case is the exception rather than the rule.
Funny thing is that we got the approval notice today! No receipt notice though.

Nice job. Looks like you had no troble getting your desired focus point with the D@H. How are you finding the D2H? How long have you had it? What did you have before?
Here are some shots with the D2h and 105mm...what do you think?

I was on H-1 and got laid off on July 23. I filed for COS to H4 online on the same day and got the electronic receipt the same day. As I had filed I-539 after work hours, the receipt shows that USCIS received my application on July 26 instead of 23. I got the paper receipt in next 3 days. I hope this will not create any problems as my employer sent notification to USCIS on July 31 and I received my last paystub on July 31 though it was only till July 23. I have been working in US with good status for last 5 years.
Now I have some questions. Any help is greatly appreciated:
1) I recently got two Job offers from different consulting firms. When I told them that my H4 status is still pending, their attorneys told me conflicting things.
- One employer's attorney said that I have to wait till my H4 is approved and only then they could apply for my H1. At this time I have not status and they cannot file my H1.
- The other employer's attorney said that I could apply for H1 while my H4 is still pending by giving pending petition reference in the new H1 application. This will let USCIS adjudicate both the pending status together and there will be no problem for my H1.
Which one of them is correct ? What are the risks involved if I go with the advice of second attorney? Is there a possibility that filing H1 increases the chances the both my H4 and H1 applications are rejected and I could be OOS ?
2) Second question is that the second employer wants me to start immediately after I get H1 receipt. Am I eligible to work on a receipt with my situation or do I need to wait for the complete approval ? What if I get an RFE ? As this is a consulting firm, they have work order from end client for only 3 months and it will be renewed after every 3 months. Will this 3 month work order will create any problems ?
3) What is my current status ? Will the current time while H4 is pending will be counted against H1 or H4 ? As I have only a little over year left in my H1, it is important for me to know how much valid time I have left for H1. This processing time could go in months if I get an RFE.

2010 Princess Diana: LIFE OF A
Beasle

My PERM (EB2) was filed mid January 2008, less than 365 days before my second term H1B will expire in October 1, 2008. The case was audited in March and we responded in April 2008 to the Atlanta Processing Center. Since then, no news.
From what I understand from my lawyer, there will be a time gap when I will be without H1B status between October 1, 2008 and mid January 2009, when I will be eligible for an automatic H1B extension due to the PERM pending for more than 365 days. This time gap comes to a total of about 110 days.
My lawyer suggests spending these 110 days out of the country before October 1st, so they can be filed as a �time recap� and added to my H1B October expiration date. As a result, this would get me to mid January 2009 for the H1B visa extension, so I can stay continuously in the US.
As of now, I already accumulated about 60 days � all from vacation during the 6 years on H1B. If I applied this for time recap, it would get me through December 1, 2008. If I can avoid it, I would rather not spend the remaining 50 days abroad before my H1B visa expiration.
Questions:
Recap eligibility
- Does paid vacation count as time out of the country for recap filing and added to the H1B expiration date?
- Do travel dates also count or only full days abroad?
Recap filing
- If the recap filing of 60 vacation days get me to December, can I still go in and out of the country between October and December -- even though my H1B officially ended in October?
- Can I do a recap filing several times for time periods that I might stay out of the country between October and December, so eventually it would get me to mid January, the date when the H1B extension can be filed?
Filing after PERM approval
- What are the next filing steps if I get my LC approved before / after October or December?
My lawyer, hired by my employer, keeps me in the dark. Is my information correct? Are there any work-arounds?
I need to stay in the country, regardless of the filing fees or other costs. Which other filings are required and when, so I can stay continuously in the country?
Thanks for any tips and advice.

Hi
I have valid AP until Oct 16, 2008. I am going out of country between 1st Aug - 31 Aug.
I read that upon return, I will be paroled for validity with 1 year from that date.. i.e 31 Aug, 2009.
Does that mean I will not need AP renewal until 31 Aug, 2009 and I can re-enter US until that date without having to renew AP.?
Thanks in advance
Although you receive 1 yr parole but you still need AP renewal before the current one expires (Oct 16th in your case). I think that the parole stamp on I-94 does not allow reentry into US.

Hi attorney,
I know the question sounds weird.
My husband applied EB2 in 2007. 140 approved and 485 pending. But then we came back to our home country because of layoff. We carried AP but now AP is expiring in 3 weeks. I know after AP goes expired, our 485 will be considered abandoned.
I heard that PD is still ours even in the case of abandonment of 485. So, I still hope that some day we can come back to US to re-do the green card application. My question is, once PD becomes current, how long will the window to submit 485 be open for us?
Thanks.
Jijie

Yes lonemetro,
You can re-use priority date established on first I-140 for any sub-sequent I-140 filling. As I understand from your post, you have EB3 labor approved and have just filed for I-140 based on it.
Now, parent company wants to transfer you. Generally I would think you should be able to transfer and still have your GC process going if the company indeed is a 'parent company' but seems there is something different here.
As a general rule, as long as your previously approved I-140 remained approved, you can re-use priority date established for that I-140 for any subsequent I-140 petition. The sub-sequent petition can be with any employer, and yes, you would need a new labor to file that new I-140 :)
Try EB1 or EB2 this time :cool:

My lawyer mailed my concurrent case (140/485/AP/EAD) on 03/23/07 thru DHL. I am in TX. I also included my Personal check of $1000 for 140 PP.
1) When should I hear something about my case from USCIS?
2) which service center will be processing my case?
3) Will I hear about something directly from USCIS or its only the lawyer who will me main contact?
Will appreciate your comments.
Thanks

Hi folks,
Could someone please point me to a Marriage Certificate Translation service9s)?
It's in Marathi and has photos, legal fee stamps and seals on it and I would like to retain the look as much as possible.
I kinda searched this website, but the search engine doesn't take you to a specific post in a thread. Instead it just brings up all threads that contain a post with the search keyword. After navigating through a few pages with no luck, I gave up and hence the (potentially redundant) question!
With another opportunity for Adjustment of Status around the corner, I want to get this asap.
Thanks.
