Hello friends,
Here's a word of caution for you. Anti-H1Bs are slicing and dicing this very conversation and presenting it as a scam.
Please make sure while opening/answering these threads that you do not inadvertently reflect on IV as supporting illegal actions.

I am planning to visit India soon. I have my AP and an expired F1 visa.
I haven't been to India since I got my H1 approved; so I don't have an H1 visa stamp on my passport at all. My I-797 is approved until 2010.
Can you please advise if I should get my passport stamped with my H1 or should I be ok with my AP?
Thanks.

My previous employer filed EB2 labor for me. I left the job after getting 140 approved so that I will hold the priority date.
The new employer, as per their policy is planning to file labor application in EB3 category and NOT in EB2 category.
My question is, the way I post PD from old approved 140, do I port the EB2 category also? ie will my PD get compared with EB2 PD or EB3 PD when it comes to filing 485?
Thanks.

I have filed my i-485 application with Vermont Service Center sometimes in 2003 or 2004 (do not remember, was a long time ago). The case was transferred to Texas Service Center in March 2007.
I just spoke to the USCIS customer service, and they told me that once case is transferred, the "receipt" date changes to the transfer date. So, due to the "improved service within the TX center" (as USCIS claims), all people who were waiting for adjustment of status and were transferred to the TX are screwed again. On the other hand, people who filed with the TX service center in 2006 retain their original "receipt" date.
:mad:
P.S. my priority date was current for the past 2 months, however there is still no GC in sight.

Hi All,
My parents I94 is expiring on March 27th 2008.
We had filed for extension (form I 539) in California Service Centre with receipt date of Jan 02 2008.
Calif is currently processing Oct 2007 I529s.
My concerns are :
1) I think their stay here is legal till we hear back from USCIS on their extension. Please confirm if this is true.
2) If they get declined , they have to leave immediately. Is that period of stay considered illegal?
3) Is overstaying with legal extension an issue if they need to come again after 6 months or so? What is the criteria they look for for frequency of visits/stay periods at port of entry.
Will greatly appreciat all your personal experiences /wise opinion on this matter of pressing concern for us.
Thanks
Ash

Universal health care does not just mean that every American has health insurance. It also means that they have access to doctors and nurses. And right now there are dire shortages in both fields. I've posted articles here on the nurse shortage (and you can see a lot more of my writing on this subject at my health care immigration blog at http://www.visalaw.com/blog_hc/blog_hc.html). Today's front page of the New York Times has a story describing the White House's worry that the physician shortage (which could reach more than 150,000 by the end of the next decade) could hamper efforts to...

Call me insanely confused idiot, but here is a thing:
I work for a major MNC (of course pays me 15% less than I should be making). My boss is also leaving the company. At the same time, I am getting an offer from another local (small) company, better position and pay. My GC is pending PD Jul-05/EB2 India from MNC. Should I leave at the 11th hour?
Just to clarify both are consulting companies.

Hi,
I have a relative who is trying to obtain an F1 visa from Dubai where he works as a script writer. He is trying to go to the US to study broadcasting and get only an associate degree so it can help him in his career..so I have few questions:
1- Will it be helpful and can he mention in his interview at the US embassy that he will be writing scripts to his company(which he gets paid for) while being in the US?
2- Does he need an f1 visa if he tries to apply to a vocational school? or does he need another type of visa for the vocational school?
Thank you very much for answering!!

IV Core - any thoughts on if we should bring this up in DC rally?
Diversity Lottery ends in FY08. As a baby step, to offset this why dont we ask these numbers - 50,000 to be added to EB visa quota?
I'm sure most senators will be agreeable to this - getting 50K immigrants with skills(in the future) vs 50K immigrants only
Where did you hear that DV is ending in 2008? See the newest travel.state.gov. They say DV 2009 starts in October.

Hi:
My full 6 years of H-1B expires in Jan 2010. My labor will be filed in Jan 2009. I would like to go back to school full time on F-1 in Fall 09. At that time, I would still have 5 months of H-1B time remaining plus a priority date. After I graduate, find a job on a new OPT, would it be enough time to start a new GC processing, without having to go back home for a year?
Thanks so much
Debbie

Hi all,
My wife was laid off a couple of days ago. She has efiled H1->H4 status change application which recommended by HR. However she needs out of USA because of family issue next month. She has valid AP.
Here my questions:
When she travel outside of U.S. before the H1-> H4 change application is approved, her application for status change is automatically canceled/invalid. Is that true?
2. She only could use AP to re-enter USA. She needs to resubmit H1->H4 after she back USA. Should she cancel the previous one? If any effect on her I-485 application?
3. Is any premium process for H1->H4?
Thanks!

The New York Times reports on an uptick in legal actions against less than honest attorneys who bilk clients needing immigration services. In my two decades in practice, I've come across a number of these cases. But they usually increase in number as people grow more desperate. The article points out that a lot of bad lawyers come out of the woodwork to target immigrants when news is circulating of possible government programs that will help people resolve their immigration problems. The article doesn't discuss the topic, but a related problem involves "notarios" - people who pose as lawyers when...
