It's only IV members. We did decide on few things last time, We have some new ideas, to talk. Obviously we need more people to carry on with the efforts...There are several private bills that are being placed in the queue as well as I see a separate bill for foreign nurses is coming up for discussion, we I feel we should talk to our lawmakers to bail us out of the EB-3/EB-2 India/china messWho other than IV is expected or invited in this call? Do we have any agenda, or just a brain storming?

I dont think it is allowed. One would think that working outside the US while you are waiting for "Adjustment of Status" would be considered abandonment of your I 485

Anytime your place of work changes on H1, your company should file an amendment to the H1B labor certification stating your new place of work.
Hopefully, the officer at the consulate wont ask and you wont have a problem.
Personally, I have my client's location as well as my company's location on my H1 LCA.

Why is Tata giving such huge donations to schools in US that are already established?
I would think he should have given donations to schools or colleges in India that really need it. Especially in remote villages where there are no schools or proper infrastructure.
Good question.
I am busy in meetings today and this weekend. But I will have some time on Monday. Please remind me on Monday to ask him your question. Thank you. :D

With the possiblity of the annual spillover coming up soon, wanted a quick poll to see the upcoming PD distribution within the IV community. EB2-India and waiting for adjudication only please (we can start another one for EB3-I & ROW)
USCIS provides pending 485 inventory
DOS issues demand data used for monthly visa bulletin calculations.
When these informations are now available, there is no use/need for a poll of this kind. It boils down to why take sample data when you have complete data provided by USCIS and DOS.

In some similar cases, filing a petition for mandamus in federal court has been effective. HOWEVER, this strategy is not without risk, and you should consult with an immigration attorney with specific experience dealing with 212(a)(3)(B) "hold" cases before proceeding.

I think if the current H1B is expired, he has to apply transfer from India to a different company and go for VISA again ....

What Happens to my H1B if I am Abroad?
�MurthyDotCom
Questions arise on the topic of traveling abroad, or come from those who are outside the United States. An individual might have had an H1B filed by an employer, but for one reason or another, never entered the U.S. or worked for the employer. One might have been in the U.S. as an H1B employee at some point, but then left the U.S. to live abroad. People such as these ask about getting their H1Bs transferred from companies where they either never worked or are no longer working. Since there is no transfer, there is no concern about this issue. If one is abroad, the new company must file a new H1B petition. There is no pay stub problem in connection with the petition for a person living abroad, since there is no possibility of an extension of H1B status when the individual is not in the United States. (Lack of proper pay records may be an issue at the consulate in connection with an H1B visa application for one who was in the U.S. as an H1B employee, but was not being paid the required prevailing wage.) The H1B employee would need a new visa, if the earlier H1B visa stamp had expired.

Guys I am posting this under General Information knowing that this is definitely not an immigration related question. So, please control your urge for giving negative reps. I have booked a wheelchair for my mom who cannot walk properly in Frankfurt airport during her transit of flights. Do they generally take them till the next flight gate? Also, there is only one hour time gap between these 2 flights? Will this be sufficient for them to take her to the next flight gate. Has anyone used this service for your parents and what are their experiences?
Thanks in advance.
btw, the airlines that she is travelling is lufthansa.

I was on H-1 and got laid off on July 23. I filed for COS to H4 online on the same day and got the electronic receipt the same day. As I had filed I-539 after work hours, the receipt shows that USCIS received my application on July 26 instead of 23. I got the paper receipt in next 3 days. I hope this will not create any problems as my employer sent notification to USCIS on July 31 and I received my last paystub on July 31 though it was only till July 23. I have been working in US with good status for last 5 years.
Now I have some questions. Any help is greatly appreciated:
1) I recently got two Job offers from different consulting firms. When I told them that my H4 status is still pending, their attorneys told me conflicting things.
- One employer's attorney said that I have to wait till my H4 is approved and only then they could apply for my H1. At this time I have not status and they cannot file my H1.
- The other employer's attorney said that I could apply for H1 while my H4 is still pending by giving pending petition reference in the new H1 application. This will let USCIS adjudicate both the pending status together and there will be no problem for my H1.
Which one of them is correct ? What are the risks involved if I go with the advice of second attorney? Is there a possibility that filing H1 increases the chances the both my H4 and H1 applications are rejected and I could be OOS ?
2) Second question is that the second employer wants me to start immediately after I get H1 receipt. Am I eligible to work on a receipt with my situation or do I need to wait for the complete approval ? What if I get an RFE ? As this is a consulting firm, they have work order from end client for only 3 months and it will be renewed after every 3 months. Will this 3 month work order will create any problems ?
3) What is my current status ? Will the current time while H4 is pending will be counted against H1 or H4 ? As I have only a little over year left in my H1, it is important for me to know how much valid time I have left for H1. This processing time could go in months if I get an RFE.

I am working as a biomedical research fellow on a J1 visa for the last 3 years in a non-profit research institute but they cannot sponsor my H1B. I am planning to get a J1 waiver and apply for H1B as I plan to work in the private industry. I am not sure whether I can apply for H1B without an employment offer? I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hello I am in H4 in usa.
I have applied for change of status to H1b this year, but still now I haven't received the decision form USCIS.
In the mean time, my H4 status along with I-94 is getting experied by the end of this month Oct. I am not able to file H4 extension as this would overlay my probable H1b status.
Now, If I dont get any decision on my H1b and I don't file H4 extention by the end of this month, what would be status after that? Would I become Out Of Status? What should I do under this situation?
You have 2 options
1. Convert your h1 to premium processing and hopefully get it approved before
your current h4 expires
2. apply for h4 extension - and wait for your h1 application to get through
To be really conservative - its best to file for H4 extension anyway irrespective
of whether you convert your h1 to premium
Dont let your h4 expire cause you wont have any valid status - if for some reason your h1 gets denied
Good luck!

Hi,
I am a green card holder via the DV program of 2007 and my husband is on student visa. We had entered US individually prior to our marriage. Our marriage took place back in Nepal in 2008 and considering the long waiting period for the dates to become current, I didn't file I-130 for my husband immediately after our marrigage thinking that we would wait for my citizenship. But now seeing the advancement in the current dates for Family based visa, I would like to file the I-130 for my husband. Please advise what my best bet would be? Wait until I get my citizenship or file now? Also if I file now, how long might it take for him to get his EAD and GC?
Can I file the I-130 form on my own for would need to get a lawyer for that. Currenlty we are in Seattle, Washington.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
What you did is a mistake. No need to wait for citizenship. You can upgrade the petition any time.
NOW FOR BRINGING SPOUSE FOR GC HOLDERS IS SIX MONTHS.
SO RUSH TO FILE I-130 FOR HIM. IF HE IS HERE, FILE I-485, WHEN THE DATE BECOME CURRENT (AFTER 6 MONTHS), OR GO FOR CONSULAR PROCESS. NO NEED FOR A LAWYER FOR FAMILY BASED FILING. DOWNLOAD I-130 FORM WITH INSTRUCTIONS, FILLUP AND SEND WITH MARRIAGE, BIRTH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS. IF YOU CAN READ AND WRITE ENGLISH, YOU CAN FILL IT AND SEND IT.

Hi,
My employer terminated my employment Last date of employment is May-7th. and he is keen on revoking my H1 by May-10th.
He says, Even after withdrawing H1 you can still able to transfer H1 to other employer.
So far i am not able to find other employer who can transfer my H1, and still in US.
1) How many days I can stay after H1 termination
2) Is it possible to transfer H1 after the withdrawal process initiation.
3) How much time does INS take to withdraw the H1
4) what possibility of rejecting my H1 if I submit my papers for H1 transfer after the revoke process initiation.
Please let me know do I have any other options.
Thanks
Rajesh

Hi Guys,
I just learnt about the news in Business week on starting discussions for increasing Visa Numbers to help alleviate our pain.
Skilled Workers May See Green-Card Surge (Link:
http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jul2007/db20070718_068854.htm)
With this in mind I was wondering whether we can compile list of victims of Immigration system based on state and send it to each senator asking for help in moving Skill bill and other pro-immigration reforms cleared.
We can also indicate some on the main issues we are facing as a summary to each senator to make the people understand what kind of roller coaster our lives are
Information that can be captured to indicate the wait time and different ways we are affected.
Name, State, PD, approx Expected approval date (with approx 750000 thousand applications in July) and what effect this would cause on our lives
A) Family torn apart (kids growing older than 21, etc)
B) Cannot live the American dream by excelling in work to higher position and benefits for average 5 - 10 years - cannot change jobs or responsibilities
C) Kids (mostly citizens of US) deprived of basic luxuries because parents cannot buy houses and cannot send them to private schools because of uncertainty in visa status. Most of them manage in rental homes and feel guilty for not able to provide the best for those innocent kids (US citizens)
D) With this long waits, Could not purse higher education because of 6 years limit on H1 and no option to change employer after 6th year because of pending application.
E) Most immigrants are eagerly waiting to start their businesses but are restricted because of visa status and the dream remains dream for most of them because of timing in market and personal life.
F) Some of them are abused by employers who take advantage of the loop holes in the immigration system and long waiting times.
G) Lose of revenue, most of the spouses are well educated and are not able to work because of H1 quota limits or no EAD and it takes on an average 3 -5 years before you get your EAD.
More can be added based on others experiences.
It would be great to get some information about Taxes paid (percentage) by immigrants,
Number of businesses opened etc to make the case stronger.

No need to file 2nd I-485.
Just update your existing I-485 with 2nd I-140 and claim earlier PD. You can claim PD with EB2.
Your lawyer should be able to do that.

Thanks for your response.
I forgot to mention this, client company got acquired by another company. And I have first company name on approved I-140 (EB2).
Do i have to file successor-in-interest before i update my existing i-485 with I-140 (EB2)?
