Hi, Guys:
My old H-1b will expire on June 30 2007. My employer has applied the new H-1b extension, but it is still pending. I am planning to go back to my country this summer and try to apply for H-1 visa in US embassy in early June. My question is whether I can apply for H-1 visa using the old one (expire on June 30) while the new one is pending. How long will be my H-1 visa valid (usually 3-month in my country)? Will I get 3-month or till the expirating date(June 30)? Can I come back to US? Many thanks.
Did you mean you are going to apply for a new visa stamp in your country ? If yes, your new visa stamp will be valid until June 30. I am not sure I got the 3 moth visa validity part.
When they extend your h1 they give you new I94. If you go to your home country and reenter on the old visa , you get a new I94 valid until june30 only from port of entry. My lawyer cautioned me about this once because your latest I94 (short validity) may be the valid one. I am not sure about this but I remember getting cautioned about traveling while H1B extension application is pending. I had to have my H1 approval mailed to me and show the new extension at the port of entry so that I get a valid I94 with new valid date.
Talk to an Attorney when in doubt.

All I said was stuck could have taken the high road as a moderator and conveyed your concerns politely. I would have respectfully expressed understanding and stop doing whatever I was doing. Instead he keeps sending abusive personal messages.
What kind of moderation is this.
Peace:)

Try this DOL wage library for a start. EB2, i guess, needs a level4 wage in your area.
Hello Gurus,
I am currently looking for a job and I have a US Master's degree. I am stuck in this retrogression and my lawyer applied for EB3, and I have no choice but looking for another job that requires me a M.S. with higher salary so I could apply for EB2
Do you know where I can see which is the minimum wage for applying as EB2?? I remember in my Labor certification there was a place where I used to check minimal wage requirements.
I am rest of the world, and having an EB2 application will let me jump out of the retrogression if EB2 continues to be available
Thanks in advance

Thats not the case. USCIS will revoke employment based AOS since mariage based AOS has higher priority. So the process would be, they would call for a normal interview and then hand you a paper that
" since you have a second petition (employment based) so they have to combine both of them and then they would issue a green card."
Its just because you were in this country legally for a long time they will go through all the required paper work. IT MEANS DELAY in processing or may be RFE to get more details.
Hi there-
I think you have already paid fees for EB 485? So revoking it wont get those fees back to you. I would suggest, you get married first, then file I-130. If by that time your EB 485 is not approved, you can still file FB 485, whichever comes first take it. You can file both in parallel. Its only a question of few thousand dollars. Attorney Rajiv Khanna has extensive documentation in this regard. You can see his website immigration.com

In September 2001, I came here on visitor visa with my mother and resided here till today (I was 15). I went through 4 yrs of high school, got my GED followed by an associate degree from community college and now I'm an undergrad student pursuing my bachelor degree; will graduate in a year. Meanwhile, my mother became a U.S. citizen through marriage when I was a sophomore in college, simultaneously my I-130 was approved and now waiting for the visa availability; the priority date: Dec 08, 2006, F1.
Problem is that I turned 21 on October 13, 2006 right passed the time criterion for the Child Status Protection Act which technically makes me "aged-out" by about 2 months (filing date being DEC06), so I think that I am not be qualified as an immediate relative.
Currently, the visa availability date is at 15FEB06 which is getting close to DEC06.
Few months ago, I received a letter from NVC requesting DS-3032 and I-864 forms which I've filled out and sent to them but I regarded the fact that I live in the United States on an overstayed visa!!! I should have sent them a notice to adjust my status instead of paying the $70 and $400 fees that I already paid, apparently. I am not leaving the country to interview overseas with the NVC because that would put me in a 10 year ban obviously, I also do not understand how I can adjust my status with the USCIS once the priority date becomes current when I do not have a status as of now! So, I might've done all these for nothing. I've talked to some lawyers on the phone but they have completely shut my hopes down (maybe because I haven't paid them?). I do not have the money to pay for an expensive lawyer because all my funds can barely afford my college.
On top of everything, DREAM act just got rejected from the congress as I'm getting ready to graduate from college. I have no idea what to do.
With my college degree and knowledge that I have acquired over the years, I believe that I am an inevitable asset to this country but I am deeply saddened by the fact that American Dream is not becoming a reality for me. I know I can do more for the world but I'm immobilized by the system which I don't see any loopholes to at this point. I understand the views of the Republicans but I really wish that they can give one more look at the DREAM act. We do not intentionally break the law. I would actually be a law-abiding and a model citizen if I ever become one.
Anyhow, I lost all my hopes and dream in this country at this point in time, that I think the only/best way is to move back to where I am from immediately upon graduation.
If there is any hope, your help/advice/inputs will be greatly appreciated!

Friends,
I have Canada PR since October 2006. In October this year I will complete 3 years since landing in Canada. The rule to maintain PR is that one should live in Canada for at least 2 years in a 5 year period. Since I have not lived in Canada more that a couple of weeks since landing, will I be allowed to move to Canada after completing 3 years outside Canada or will I be sent back from the border? Has anyone moved to Canada after living outside for more than 3 years since landing? Please advise.
Thanks.
Sometime back when I inquired the same, I was told that canada is lenient about this rule and there were instances when people were allowed to come even after staying more than 3 years outside canada but then recently somebody told me that they are becoming more strict now.

You don't. Your employer files an I9, and there they mention your status. This is why they need to update using an I9 every time you get a H1 extension.
As far as I-9 form goes, it is my understanding that it is not filed with any agency. The form is retained by the employer only.

Your situation is complicated.
There is a 240 days rule to stop working, if H1B is pending for an approval.
It is for working with the same employer. Transfer may be diffrent.
But since it is a premium process, and your I-94 is expired, you need to be very careful.
You are now out of staus, I fear.
So rush to a good lawyer and contact USCIS.

Hi guys My I140 filed in TEXAS case status online says request for additional information was mailed, I haven't received mail yet, I want to go ahead and collect all the documents required so i can reply immediately as soon as we receive RFE mail,
can you guys tell usually what kind of information is requested in EB3 cases.
RFEs are mostly about ability to pay and your educational qualifications. If your company has more than one 140 pending they may ask your company to prove that they have ability to pay for all applications simultaneously. I think you should be good as long as your company satisfies one of the three criteria in yates memo for ability to pay. You should be good if you have w2s for all the years since LC filing date with amount more than the proferred wage. Again these rules apply for str8forward cases.
Arrival of physical notice depends on how quick they send out from mail room. I would advise you to be on the top of the issue with your employer/attorneys office because of the flexible times for response rule. Earlier every RFE used to get 12 week now the USCIS determines how much time you get for responding. Now that these immi lawyers are busy with 485s they may respond slow .. Good luck with your process

you can search for cases filed using start and end date - its nothing fancy or interesting as you might have imagined - if your employer is indeed saying that its hard to pull old cases - its total BS -- either they dont want you to worry or they dont want to divulge your case number
I have requested again for the screenshot mentioning the same and waiting on a response. You do seem to have an idea how it looks like, if you dont mind, would you be able to post a screenshot with all information greyed out. With that handy, if they come back with, 'no way' I can go back at them hard saying they are BS'ing me and call their bluff.
Thanks again!

My I140 is approved, 180 days complete and looking to change jobs in May/June.
I have another 2 months with the present client. I want to Use AC21 but not inform USCIS. Does filing G28 and changing lawyer trigger a notice to my present company lawyer?
It takes USCIS a little time to update your case with the new G-28. So make sure you file your new G-28 (or removal of existing G-28) at-least a couple of months ahead of your determined job change date. You don't want your current employer to be in any position to influence your I-485 processing once he finds out that you are leaving.

Hi,
Both, me and my wife, have EAD and AP. I am still working on H1 and she is not using her EAD (other than to obtain SSN).
We do not see her working for another year or so. I may switch jobs using AC21 and may do so using H1B transfer or EAD.
So here's my question:
1. Can I skip renewing her EAD and renew just mine?
2. Can we renew her EAD as and when we feel the need, which may be later than the expiry date of her current EAD?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this matter.
Thanks

Guys complaining that the Indian Govt will not help us is nothing but a cry-baby thing. Ofcourse we get last preference! The Government in India will Obviously help the Indians in India first. I mean the country gave us our education and we turned our backs to it "so to speak". When the country was in trouble we escaped it, now that it is doing well, we expect it to solve our problems and crib that it is doing nothing for us? Let's not forget, we can STILL go back and lead great lives there, but we CHOOSE to be here.
I am all for exploring different avenues to solve this crisis. But at the same time i request all the members on here to please refrain from India/Indian Government bashing. It is very easy to keep asking what the Indian government has done for its ppl. If you go to India today, u will see a Sea of change from as late as 2000. The economy is doing great and ppl are happier than ever. Maybe the Govt had a hand in it maybe it didnt, but pls do not publicly ridicule ur own country and its Government on public boards like this. I am sorry if i am stirring a controversy here, but that is not my aim.

My company applied for PERM as a project manager for me. It got classified as Computer information systems manager and got a very high PW.
My company knows the job I am doing is not CIS manager's job. So they appealed it, but the appeal was denied and DOL insists that it is CISM and the pay should be this high.
I have not come across a single PM making this pay (though I wouldn't object to it if I can get it :) ). This is totally absurd.
How do we prove that PM != CIS Manager and get Project manager certified under EB2 with proper wages?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
