Don't mean to pick on you but on the lighter side, El Paso is in US only :D. Things would be much easier if visa could be renewed in US itself.
Why not any of the consulates in Mexico ( Juarez, nogales, el paso etc). ...

1. Is it is consulting job? If yes then it does not matter. If it is a full time job, go for stability. You need to hold on to your job for quite a while.
2 "Consider" is a dangerous word. Have them give you in writing when would they start the process. If they are not giving you in writing, believe me, they will never start the process.
3. It is random. Consulting jobs tend to get more RFE.
Good Luck.
I got laid off recently.
Now got job with 2 companies. 1 small and 1 big. 3 questions:
(1) Should I select based on my salary? Big company offers more salary.
(2) I have to now start Greencard again. So should I choose big company or small ? Both said they will consider sponsoring if performance is good.
(3) If I transfer H1B Is Big company likely to get RFE or small?

Yes that is right. The biometrics is essentially only for I-485 and that is the only LUD that may get updated.
i did the same... selected 485 only, i asked the lady who checked ID she said that was ok...
also if you think about it the FP notice was for 485, if EAD or AP requires FP we should get separate FP notices init? :) (thats my take on it)

I am no attorney... but from my knowledge you are OK.
The h1b rules state that once you loose your job, you have 10 days to find another way to keep you in status or leave the country... and your situation, even if it comes to a point where you have to agree that you were out of job for that 5 days is no problem at all.
cheers...

It is true that immigration is not at all reason for unemployment. When unemployment increases that will decrease immigration to some extent. We could see that in h1b numbers and also illegal immigration. But future immigration will depend on how fast jobs are created when recovery starts.
From Business Week: A report released on Tuesday makes the case that increased immigration is not a cause of increased unemployment in the U.S. The study, �The Unemployment Disconnect: Untying the Knot,� was issued by the Immigration Policy Center, the research arm of the American Immigration Law Foundation, an association of immigration lawyers that generally supports pro-immigration policies. The study sets out with the assertion that if immigrants are taking jobs away from native-born workers, �one would expect to find high unemployment rates in those parts of the country with large numbers of immigrants.� Examining state, county, and metropolitan area...

This is wrong. If you go out of USA and come back after a gap of 1 year, then only u will get full 6 years. Other wise whatever your status is ( as L1, B1 etc ) that will count into H1 period
As far as I know B1 wont count against H1 time, though L1 will.
L2 and H4 used to count, but they were decoupled at the end of 2006, and time spent in those status dont count against your H1.

Just wondering if anybody is giving up hopes of GC and switching from H1B to E3D (Dependent of Australian spouse) to take advantage of 2-yr renewable EADs...? How long does it take to get the initial EAD...Continue working without pay (or is there a workaround) while waiting for EAD?....any problems getting visa stamped with a 'yes' for past immigrant petition filed...
7yrs in this country...EB2 PD of 10/07 due to job changes..no 140 yet, no 485...6yrs in same job? no promotions? with 3yr extensions...frustration beyond words...E3D seems to a ray of hope but no idea of complications involved.
Yeah its frustrating everyone waiting for a GC .. I think doing something is better than nothing. Go with your spouse. Who knows things might take a turn for the better.

It is not OK for the attorney to sign the papers. But no body is going to care as long as there is signature in that column. Just keep quiet, u will be fine. Ask your attorney for a copy of your filed 485 so that if anything happens, you can sign similarly in all the correspondence.

If you travel while I539 is pending, your 539 will be considered abandoned.
Its better to travel anyway if you are planning on it and then apply for visa.
Also do not use friends address. Once you move, you can file for AR-11 online and at that time it gives you an option to link any pending petitions to the address you just changed.

If they'd only "fix" the Social Security Card to be more secure, I'm sure you'd reduce much of the illegal employment. the way the SS card is designed right now, anyone could print out as many of these on his home printer.

Just make sure at the Port of Entry to show the officer your most recent approval notice and be sure to carry a few pay stubs from your present employer.
Otherwise shouldn't be a problem at all with the visa stamped valid till next year.

Hello All,
My first I-140 (EB3) got denied and is pending in appeals office for more than 1-1/2 years. Since 140 was denied my 485 was also denied.
Later we filed new labor (in 2009) and 140 (EB-2) and got approval after 8 months.
My questions are:
1. Can I file 'motion to reopen' for 485s based on new 140 approval and use the previous priority date (which is 2004)?
2. If not, can I file motion to reopen 485 based on old 140 (which is pending in appeals office) and later if they are open, can we link these 485s with new 140?
Please advise.

Hi,
I have a question regarding changing L1 to H1-B visa. If someone comes to US on an L1 visa can he/she change to H1-B visa without going back to India and getting the new H1-B visa stamped? What is the process to remain in the US and changing the status from L1 to H1? Will
Again, I assume that in order to change from L1 to H1-B the H1-B cap rule applies.
Yes, you can do a change of status (COS) from L1 to H1 without going back to India for Visa stamping. Your H1 will come under the annual 65,000 H1 cap, as you might know the cap of this year is already over, you can apply for this COS come April 1 2008 and you can start working October 1 2008 with your H1. Please note you CANNOT start working for a new employer by just receiving a receipt number for your COS. You will need to get the actual H1-B approval notice. While applying for the COS you will also need to show you are currently employed and this can be done by submitting two most recent pay checks along with your other papers. Hope this helps!!

My H1 expired and the extension is in process. But they did not file for H4 extension. I was told by my employer that she can get a visa stamp by presenting my H1 paper at the consulate. Is this true ? If so, what is the significance of H4 approval notice ?
There are two scenarios to this
Scenario one
h1 applicant is in US h4 applicant is in US
In this case the employer must file H1 exentsion and as well as I 539(application to extent/change nonimmigrnat status).
This is because the 1-94 for the H4 applicant must be extended.
Remember I 94 deciedes the status period,so the old I 94 of H4 needs to be extended for the period of H1 extension.
Scenario Two.
h1 applicant is in US while h4 has travelled out just before extension.
in this case the employer just files for h1 extension and not for I 539 because the dependent of h1 is not in status since dependent is out of the country(as h4 applicant submitted the I 94 at airport while leaving).
the h4 applicant can take a copy of h1 to the conuslate for new stamping of h4 next time around.

lets fight to recapture Visa numbers from the previous years.. As this article rightly points us, the road ahead:
Not the End of the Road
Still unresolved is the issue of green cards that have gone unused in the past decade or more. USCIS estimates that 10,000 green cards of the 140,000 allotted for employment-based applicants were not issued last year. Immigration Voice estimates that 200,000 in total have gone unused in the last decade. Immigrant advocates have been urging the federal government to offer make these green-card slots available to help relieve the backlog of those waiting for green cards, an estimated 500,000.
Using green cards from previous years would require legislation from Congress. Lofgren says there have been "some discussions going on informally" about whether such a move is possible. But it's no sure thing. It would be difficult to pass such legislation in a Congress that is leery of any immigration issue after a comprehensive reform effort with the support of President George W. Bush and bipartisan leaders in the Senate got shot down earlier this summer.
Meanwhile, immigrant advocates say they will continue to press to speed the process of turning workers with visas into permanent residents. "This [decision] helps us move from a more painful limbo to a less painful limbo, but it's limbo nonetheless," says Immigration Voice's Pradhan. "Adjustment of status is not our final destination; green-card status is."
