I am in the same situation. I am on my 8th year of H1 and this is for the first time I am have heard so much hoopla that has made me real nervous. My lawyer has advised me against taking any risk. I already have the tickets but I am planning to postpone, apply for EAD and only then go to India.
Please note that this is only me and I might have a comletely different risk tolerance than you might have.
I am planning to visit India during May 2011. I am working in multinational company as civil engineer (on H1-B). I have PhD from US uni. I am reading a lot about visa stamping probs these days. Please help me taking decision whether to take chance (& visit India) or not. will appreciate any advises especially from ppl with such recent experience. Thanks.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have experience with expedited H1-B filing? The one that you are supposed to receive the answer in 15 days. I am just wondering if it really works and if it is possible to hurt your petition by filing expedited?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
In DS-156 form there is an item 36 which says "Has anyone ever filed an immigration visa petition on your behalf",
What should be entered for H4 visa holder whose 485 has been filed.
And if we have to say "Yes" to this question , then whose name should be mentioned in "If Yes ,Who?", should it be the spouse name or the spouse company name ?
Thanks

I don't know about legal risks but health-wise that sounds quite risky.
I can't believe to what extent some people will go to earn money!
Boss, don't make yourself a guinea pig. No amount of money is worth it.

Hi ,
I was working for company A and got my labor and I-140 approved and then i changed to company B. My priority date is jan 2005. Is there any way that i can continue my green card process with company A. WOuld be of great help if somone can tell me if there is any way to do it.
I think that as far as company A agrees, it shouldn't be a problem. I believe the GC application is for a future job offer.

I went for an Infopass appointment at the Boston USCIS District Office today. My wife's case status had suddenly changed to "On November 5, 2007 a notice was returned to us undeliverable..." on Jan 7, and we wanted to find out what was going on (the national customer service was of no help at all when we called). Our appointment was at 8.15 AM; we arrived at the JFK Building (Government Center) at 8 AM, went through the standard federal security (very much like an airport) to the USCIS suite. There was hardly anybody waiting in line. The officer at the door checked our appointment notice, and gave us a ticket number, and asked us to take a seat and wait for our number to be called. The arrangment there is like the social security office...there are service counters, and a waiting area in front where you sit and wait to be called.
When our number was called, we walked up to the counter, and the agent greeted us and asked us to present our appointment letter and an ID. She then asked us the purpose of our visit. I explained to her how the status on my wife's pending I-485 had changed to "Notice returned undeliverable", and we were concerned about a missed deadline. She asked for the I-485 receipt notice, then proceeded to look for information on her computer. She repeated our mailing address that was in the system, and asked us to confirm that it was correct. She then printed out something, and told us she'll be right back. I guess she went to see her supervisor for some help (she appeared to be new). After about 5-7 minutes, she came back and told us that she couldn't see what the notice was that was returned, but everything looked ok on my wife's case. She told us (without our asking) that her name check was cleared, and so was her fingerprint search. She said that the case was assigned to an officer, and it was last updated on Jan 7.
Although the agent could still not tell us what was returned undeliverable, she pretty much cleared our doubt that a biometrics appoinmtment or something else was pending. She also confirmed that the name check was cleared.
Our infopass experience at the Boston office was pleasant and fruitful. I think one should try to go early, as there is less crowd, and agents are willing to spend more time answering your questions.

My friend is with the current employer for the past 3 years and now she has her H1 renewed .The employer had some issues with USCIS and currently she is on bench and is planning to go to india to get married.She has an appointment in Tijuane but she is worried if the employer history would affect her chances of stamping.So she is planning to have her H1transferred but she has her marriage in feb.So what are her options of getting her stamping done?
This is not a good idea.
Can she go to India with new employer documents having applied for transfer(premium processing)and have her stamping done there?
It is better for her to wait until she gets her documents approved and then go.
Is the pay stub with the current employer compulsory?
It is better to have some paystubs from the past six months at least and also carry some w2 forms.
How much time does it take if she goes for premium processing and what documents would she need from the new employer(incase the transfer is pending by the time she goes to India)?
In premiumn processing it takes 15 days to get the approval normally. And if it is premium processing, shouldn't hurt to wait some more days since it is better also.
After all these are my two cents against what you are trying. It is always better to consult your lawyer/attorney with the employer your friend is intending to transfer to.

Indeed. 140s are getting a lot of RFEs nowadays and are once again taking nearly a year. It is a brave soul that will avail themselves of the AC21 180 portability provision without an approved 140 petition.
The main points are the following, if you get an RFE and it has anything to do with your employer eg. ability to pay etc, can you count on them to send in that paperwork. If your employer withdraws the 140 application then you are left without a plank to stand on for your 485 as well.
Basically you are on very thin ice if you invoke AC21 absent an approved 140. If you are contemplating such a move, you should atleast consider doing it on a H1b visa as back up.
These are my views, please consult an attorney.

First, there is nothing called "sponsoring a visitor visa". You cannot sponsor . Every visitor need to qualify on his/her own.
If you mean sending an invite letter and copy of your H1 to show they are visiting you , it is fine.
If you mean sending I-134 -- Affidavit of Support -- the Affidavit has no legal value. If the visitors do not have enough liquid cash, they can say that you will fund the trip (and you can send your bank statements to prove). Anybody else (like your siblings in home country) can also fund the trip. If they have cash, best is to show that as source of their trip.

It is a case to sign in native language...
Well, if you forgot to fill the native language thing but signed the form, you don't have to worry about anything. Although the form is incomplete, the officer has no way of knowing for sure that your native alphabet is other than English... You may or may not get an RFE on this later...
Enjoy

Hi,
Although my EAD has been approved long back, I haven't actually received the actual EAD card in hand because of an address related glitch. It is said they will re-send, but the delay is unbelievable. I have the A# from other correspondences.
Under the circumstances, can I apply for a AC21.
Thanks,
Soumya

My LC application (RIR PD Oct 2003) from company A is pending in P-BEC. My RIR got denied recently in Nov 06 and my company informed me that they are considering to use TR->RIR conversion to upgrade the LC to RIR. Can somebody please tell me the process of TR->RIR converion? How long it takes? Pros. and Cons. ?Any help is greatly appreciated
Meanwhile company B filed an LC (RIR PD March 2005). This is also pending in P-BEC. But the lawyer has not received any case number nor 45 day letter.The lawyer is not giving much information. Can somebody please tell me the process?
Thanks
I can comment on second item. I was in the same situation (PD March 05 @ D-BEC). There was absolutely no communication from DOL. One fine day in Sept, I got case approval notice (via lawyer). I think there is still hope yours may be done soon.

This is a contract position to work in canada.This is normally through couple of vendors.
My employer is a small consulting company,which don't have own projects.So they pay only when I get project with other consultancies companies and bill through them.
You get work visa in canada then you need to be paid in canada..Work visa in canada has nothing to do with that of US status.
If you are getting paid in usa ( it seems like) and planning on working in canada on visitor visa its not legal. This might be the reason.
Your status in US has nothing to do with Working/Visiting/studying in Canada.
If you have used AP you "Probably" not on H1 any more.. there are some contradicting statements of IV members on this before. But I have seen USCIS sending a notice for one of my friend where in which he was advised to use AP ( as he is considered being on AOS eventhough he has H1) in future.

I always belive Premium is better and this is just a rumour that it attracts RFE.
The reason is plain and simple, let's say that you change to Company B and since normal processing takes anywhere from 3-6 months (let's say in meantime your old employer cancells your H1B) and at end of say 3-6 months you come to know that your H1B transfer to company B is denied you have no option but to leave country.
Whereas in permium in 15 days you will know if that is through or not and GOD forbidden even if that gets rejected , you still have paystubs which will be just 15 days old, still you can do another H1B transfer with a new employer.

Friends;
My EB3 AOS was filed in July, 2007.
I have a valid H1 upto July, 2010 and my EAD expires September, 2010.
My wife and daughter have valid H4 upto July, 2010 and their EAD expires September, 2010. Both have used EAD.
APs are expiring in July 2010 for all of us.
My employer has filed for H1 extension.
I have couple of questions regarding my family�s statuses;
1. If my wife and daughter do not want to renew their EADs/APs (or renewal gets delayed beyond September, 2010), what is their legal status in US as they don�t have a valid I-94?
2. As they already used EADs, I think they are not eligible for H4 filing. Can someone confirm?
3. Does anyone have experience of renewing Driving license without EAD or H4 during AOS?
Thanks
Venu
