Friends,
I am in a difficult situation. I am in my 6th year. H1B expires Feb 2008.
My company filed labor last year November 2006 and it was denied due to some specific language missing from our application like "All suitable combination of education, training or experience" acceptable. So we ended up refiling our PERM application in July 2007 in Atlanta DOL. It has been pending since then.
Now, because my H1B expires in another 5 months, it is absolutely necessary for me to get PERM approved, then apply I-140 using premium processing and then apply for H1B extension. Based on Atlanta DOL's speed, I'm hoping my labor may get approved in October or November. Last year, when I changed my company, I didn't anticipate that my labor will get denied and on top of that USCIS will suspend I-140.
Does anyone have any insight on when premium processing for I-140 may start again? What strategies do you offer to extend H1B?
Thanks.

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.
You can use your AP for travel and come in as a Parolee even if you are not working.
Since you think you will have trouble getting H4 stamped, coming in using AP is the best thing to do.
Usually, travel with AP is smooth. If the officer asks you the reason for your travel, tell him/her that you went to see your family (don't say that you went on vacation). Make sure that you take the copy of your I-485 receipt notice and your original EAD with you, just in case. You will be sent for secondary inspection but, don't worry, that is normal practice for Parolees.
Good luck with your travel.

Hello All - I understand from the website that the people already working in the US qualify for an emergency appointment if they are returning back to work in the US. Does anyone if this rule is also applicable it is the first time you are getting a H1-B visa stamp? I got a COS and am planning to get a stamp in December. I know that more dates are available now .. but was wondering if the need arises will I eligible for emergency appointment?
Thanks!

Hi,
I was on regular H1B for three years until mid 2008 when I changed to H4 status. Now, if I want to work for a non-profit organization, does the org have to just transfer the original H1B or file a new non-profit petition. If it is the latter (new petition) what happens to my original H1 approval? If I want to go back to the for-profit world do I need to apply for a new H1 or will my original H1 validity continue??
Thanks

Explore interfiling... no personal experience ... but the idea is that they use the same I-485 but interchange the underlying I-140. Seems like there is no special form for this but to just write to USCIS with evidence for the new approved EB1 I-140.
Thanks grupak. Are you EB1 485 filer? How long is it taking to get from 485 filing to green card these days?

Hi,
I am currently working on a fulltime H1B and my GC process is going on with second stage (I140) in progress. Now my old employer wants me to work parttime for them which I agreed upon but this is a possibility only if I have a parttime H1B applied w.r.t old employer which I am thinking to apply for it and work parttime. But my question here is does this effect my GC processing? If it is what are the effects? Please reply me back. Thanks a lot.
Regards
According to an attorney, you must work part time 35 hrs per week in order to keep your GC process going on.

You can re-enter from Canada with same I-94 and status as long as trip < 30 days.
Yes, it resets out of status clock.

Hello i am running in to issues of how to get address changed. To give you guys previews. We were residing in Chicago till July ending. In August we moved to CT as my wife got a new job there. But since my work location is in IL , I requested my employer whether its possible to work remotely and its ok by law. He said u can change ur residential address and there is no need to amend LCa/H1b as there is no change in work location in my case. Fine for now.
I recently visited CT DMV and requested for CT state license. They denied to me saying that i need a CT employer letter or My employer should issue letter to DMV stating my work location changed. Neither of these are going to happen. For now i have my license and Plate from IL itself. I can still continue to maintain but renewing Plates and Pollution test are pain being in CT any ideas please ?
I think it is just a heavyhandedness by DMV guys. Perhaps talking to the manager will help. Tell him that you wife lives in CT and you consider this as your home. There is nothing that you HAVE to live within xxx miles of your work place. If you live in CT, fly every Monday morning to IL, stay in a hotel at your own expenses, and return back on Friday, will that be illegal.

NumbersUSA obtained a summary of the "compromise" negotiated among Republicans Tuesday night. The language is theirs, not ours. We do not know how discussions between Republicans and Democrats have changed the plan, or if it is still a factor in the debate.
Hagel/Martinez Amendment
Background:
The Hagel/Martinez Substitute contains all the provisions of the Specter Amendment - including the border security, interior security and employer enforcement provisions from the Frist bill - but makes the following 3 changes:
1. It proposes an alternative to Title VI, Subtitle A of the Specter substitute (which deals with the illegal population living in the U.S.)
2. It temporarily increases the number of employment based green cards from 290,000 (as in the Specter Substitute) to 450,000. This increase from 290,000 to 450,000 would sunset after ten years.
3. It would give mid-term illegal immigrants (defined below) priority in applying for green cards over future immigrants entering as temporary workers.
The Hagel/Martinez Amendment is based on legislation (S.1919) introduced by Senator Hagel in October 2005.

My case: Perm Approved, I140 approved last year, long wait for I485. I have (had) 3 years extension till 2013
My company's lawyer was supposed to revoke H1 of say (name changed) Venkatesh Natarajan and they by mistake revoked mine because of similarity of name(Vedant Narayanan). This happened in July and got approved in August (see below for details). The day my company got to know a wrong employee's H1 was revoked they filed for reinstatement.
Here are the chronological events
Date on which my H1 revocation notice was sent to USCIS: 7/28/2010
Date on which USCIS agreed to revoke my H1: USCIS says they got our letter of revocation on 8/15/2010, but their letter was dated 9/27/2010
Date when my employer was informed by lawyer's office about revocation: 10/24/2010
Date when my company filed for reinstatement of my H1, with pre-paid FedEx packet for USCIS to use with a reply: 10/25/2010. The USCIS has not responded to this letter.
Currently the action being taken is that they are in a process to file a new H1B as a backup, if USCIS doesn't reply to the letter or if they say that revocation process can't be undone.
I read about this nunc-pro-tunc provision. Do you think my new premium H1B should be filed with the nunc-pro-tunc provision? So that my new H1 is backdated from the day it was revoked.

MurthyDotCom : Eligibility under Sections 245(i) & 245(k) for AOS (http://www.murthy.com/adjsta.html)
Section 245(k)
Section 245(k) enables a person who is adjusting status in an employment-based category (whether on the basis of a labor certification or in one of the special Green Card categories that does not require a labor certification or job offer) to adjust, even if s/he has been out of status or worked without authorization for less than 180 days. This provision does not require an immigrant petition or labor certification to have been filed on or before any particular date and there is also no penalty fee involved.
Will this 180 days 245(k) clause help me in anyway?
How should we tackle this situation. Is there any other options that we can try, any phone number we can call? Any way we can ask USCIS to undo the revocation? Any suggestions/pointers appreciated.
Thanks

My wife was on H4. Her VISA and I94 are expired. I'm still on H1 (valid). Our 485 applications are pending. We have valid EAD cards but not using them. Can I apply for my wife's SSN using the EAD Card + I485 Receipt? Or does she need to have valid I-94 along with the EAD to apply for SSN? Does she need SSN to work on EAD?
You should be able to apply for SSN with EAD. Please read the SSN filing instructions and come back if you have any specific questions.
