Hi Immigration Gurus,
I have a valid H1B Visa which is expiring on Feb 16th, 2008 and my old H1 is expiring the same day as my Visa. I applied for my H1B extension my H1 extension is pending. I am planning to go to india on Dec last week and coming back on jan 7th.
1) Can I travel without any problems/
2) While coming back, what are the documents I need to show, will my old H1 is enough or do I have to show receipt of showing I applied for extension?
I really appreciate your time and advice, advanced thanks

It is best to not do anything while on the B visa, and relinquish the B status, then either re-enter on a stronger intent visa (H1/H4 or L1) and then file 485 or file the 485 from outside the country.
Agree with what mihir is telling here. Just a minor correction - 485 can be filed only when one is present in the US.

Hi,
I have a questions and recommendation request.
Question first:
-> I am currently on H1 B
-> I have filled my 485 and have EAD with priority date Nov 17, 2006
-> I am planning to change job now.
-> Question is; should I file for H1 Xfer or just take my chances with EAD?
The request is for an immigration attorney that can help my new employer file H1 Xfer and AC-21.
Thanks for help in advance
--Scorion
I can recommend my attorney in LA area if you need...PM me
I am quite sure he will recommend doing the H1 transfer

All,
I recently came back from India, and got a new I-94 at port of entry, but later I noticed that CBP officer added 10 more days to my I-94 expiry(it may be a mistake by the officer)
Do I need to worry about this? any advice/suggetion?
Thanks -MK
You dont need to worry about this. This is pretty common.

Anyone heard of this? Some people can individually claim greencards for extraordinary circumstances. I wonder if our force of numbers waiting extraordinarily long might enable a private bill to succeed. Here is a news item:
Rare immigration bills pass Congress (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2010/12/15/national/a161850S17.DTL)

Hello Friends,
I have utilized AC-21 and moved onto another employer and I will be using my EAD. I have an I-94, from the I-797 of my previous employer, which expires in May 2008.
The question I have is if we have utilized AC-21 can we still live here in US past the I-94 date? Will the stay be considered legal? I ask because as far as I know when a person is on H1B he can not afford to go past the I-94 validity date, does the same apply with an AOS applicant?

Hello,
I am working on H1-B for sometime. My project ended 2 months ago and I had been on unpaid leave since then. My H1-B expires on Sep 30, 2009. My company applied for H1-B extension in June but got a RFE due to lack of evidence. My company replied to the RFE on Aug 28. and status has been pending since then. On Sep 19, I got an offer from another company. The new company filed for premium processing for H1-B transfer and her transfer application got approved with starting date of September 24. I joined the new company on Sep 29 but haven't notified her old employer yet.
My immigration is underway and has got an approved I-140 from previous employer. That is the reason I didn't notify them as I don't want to stop that process. It is my intention to move back to her old employer if the visa extension is approved and the current project is finished so that I doesn't have to refile her Green card.
Now the question is what will happen in these scenario and purportedly 'Last Action rule' of USCIS:
1) If my Visa extension gets accepted, which VISA will hold good, the H1 ext with original employer or H1-B transferred visa with new employer ? Where should I report for work and is there anything legally I need to do before I reports to any of them ?
2) If my Visa extension gets rejected, will my transferred VISA still hold good ? Will I need to do anything in that scenario i.e. need to go out of country and get her Visa stamped ?
Thanks for your help and time. Please advice!!

Dear Friends,
I am a derived applicant in my green card process and recently I converted to EAD status from H1B.
My sister is US citizen. I would like to know if I am eligible to file another set of green card application thru family based option that is available. I know its a long queue.
I want to know if I am eligible for this process.
If I am eligible to file, am I eligible to file EAD thru that application as well.
Thanks

Shortly after class, an economics student approaches his economics professor and says,
"I don't understand this stimulus bill. Can you explain it to me?"
The professor replied, "I don't have any time to explain it at my office, but if you come over to my house on Saturday and help me with my weekend project, I'll be glad to explain it to you." The student agreed.
At the agreed-upon time, the student showed up at the professor's house. The professor stated that the weekend project involved his backyard pool.
They both went out back to the pool, and the professor handed the student a bucket. Demonstrating with his own bucket, the professor said, "First, go over to the deep end, and fill your bucket with as much water as you can." The student did as he was instructed.
The professor then continued, "Follow me over to the shallow end, and then dump all the water from your bucket into it." The student was naturally confused, but did as he was told.
The professor then explained they were going to do this many more times, and began walking back to the deep end of the pool.
The confused student asked, "Excuse me, but why are we doing this?"
The professor matter-of-factly stated that he was trying to make the shallow end much deeper.
The student didn't think the economics professor was serious, but figured that he would find out the real story soon enough.
However, after the 6th trip between the shallow end and the deep end, the student began to become worried that his economics professor had gone mad. The student finally replied, "All we're doing is wasting valuable time and effort on unproductive pursuits. Even worse, when this process is all over, everything will be at the same level it was before, so all you'll really have accomplished is the destruction of what could have been truly productive action!"
The professor put down his bucket and replied with a smile, "Congratulations. You now understand the stimulus bill."

I currently have approved EAD, I-140 and waiting for a Visa number to become available. My receipt date for I-485 was July 2nd 2007 and my notice date was September 27th. My employer is closing the IT department in March. Though it has been 180 days since my receipt date, it's not 180 days since my notice date. Will my I-485 processing be impacted when a Visa number becomes available? Also, will it be Ok if I'm out of a job for a short time while I'm looking for my next job? I sincerely appreciate the help and guidance in this matter.
Thanks
it's not 180 days since my notice date. Will my I-485 processing be impacted when a Visa number becomes available?
No
will it be Ok if I'm out of a job for a short time while I'm looking for my next job?
.
If you are planning to use EAD no problem, but if you are planning to use AC21 with H1B then you need to maintain valid status as specified in your H1B. i.e., if you can mainting the salary specified in your offer letter and if that matches your W2 for the year, then you are ok.
These are my thoughts.
Good luck my friend and I am in process of doing my H1B using AC21

hello all..
im currently living in NJ and my i-140 was approved.. since im on EB3 and my priority date is on 4/2008 i still have some time to wait in order for a visa to be eligible to me..
my main concern is : i would like to know if its possible for me to obtain a driver license with the approval notice i received from USCIS (i -797c Notice of action).. does my employer will need to fill out any forms for for that to happen ?? if so, what kind of forms :(
any help is appreciated..
Marcus
Please complete your profile, so that those responding are able to understand your situation better.
I assume that your I-485 is not yet filed. If it is true, you must be having a H1-B or other work visa to maintain your work status. If yes, those are the documents you will need to get Drivers License extensions.
To my knowledge, approved I-140 is not an immigration status that can enable you to get a Drivers License extended on its own.

Today, I received an email from USCIS that my EAD application got approved. My receipt date is on the 3rd week of May of 2007. What I don't understand is that the current processing time at NSC for I-765(EAD) for pending I-485 is March 26th, 2007.....
We have the exact same situation down to the receipt date :eek: I was so shocked I almost fell off my chair when I got my email. A completely unexpected surprise but a good surprise, nevertheless.

Yes, what is this security clearance? I have applied for H1B renewal after 3 years on July 23rd (my receipt date) of 2007, and this still has not been processed and sent. I was told it has been sent for security clearance. I am here in US working without H1B visa after 7 months of my H1B visa expiry while my renewal is still pending as of today (03/07/08). Does anyone have an idea when is this going to be processed and will I ever get my work visa renewed ?

Hi,
Just returned from traveling abroad. I am hoping my PERM approval from atlanta comes through somehow in time for me to be eligible to apply for I485/140....I am supposed to travel again out of country on Aug 17 to end of august (this is all to help me recoup/extend my h1b for 365 days of LC pending to be eligible for H1B extension)...i know traveling right after filing I485 is questionable..my lawyer (i think i trust him) says it's ok.
My question is regarding the I-94 card. I have the 3 yr extension approval on my original H1B that I carry every time I travel. I was told this is most important doc as it has my number or something to track my travel.
Usually when I am coming back, the INS officer will check it and cross of the already printed I-94 number and copy another number from my approval/extension notice on to it....usually...i think this is done.
This time when I returned yesterday, the INS officer did not do that. I know she looked at my visa stamp in passport that has same numbers and she updated her comp/system whatever, but no number change on the actual I-94 card was noted. So it has the original printed I-94 number.
My question..is this a problem. I gently tried asking her if she needed to note/change number on my I-94 and she rudely said "no". So i shushed up not knowing much about this. She didn't even look at it saying once I have stamp, I have no need for that approval notice...i was told otherwise before by another INS officer when traveling while back.
Also when I do travel on Aug 17, and hand in that I-94 card...how will they track that it's ME leaving since it has none of my H1B approval number on it. I need them to know I left the country so I can recoup the time...
i'm confused..please help and tell me if I'm ok or need to do something...
