If you are on H1B status your employer has to cancel your visa once they lay you off. You need to transfer your H1 before they cancel it, otherwise you will be out of status.

This is a common misconception. You can extend your H1B even if the previous one has been canceled. The only time you cannot transfer H1B visa (and have to apply for new one) is when you went out of US for over one year. Check out the H1B faq on immigration.com.

Come to the rally and we will no longer have questions. Only answers and solution to our problems if the rally is successful. We can do post mortem later when retrogression is dead. (pun intended)

I hope you will in a day or two. mine also filled in first week of feb.

guys and gurus, Very desparate at this point, any help will be appriciated, I really need to answer these questions, please give me some guidance or some sample responses if any body of you have gone through same issues. PLEASE HELP
I have a very unique in RFE that I got. First a little background, My first H1 was with company A, from 2001 to 2003, in the year 2003 , the company had ran out of projects and had no more work for me. The vice president of the company A started his own company (company B) and offered me a job and did my H1b, I am still with the same company B till today. My labor is approved; I-485 is applied, got my finger prints done. Now the real issue, recently I got RFE on my I-140 and have 12 weeks to reply. With the standard RFE I have been as some other questions also. Here is my RFE in numbers

1 - It does not appear that the beneficiary has the two year experience in the job offered as required by the ETA 750 by the priority date.
My Question is how do I prove it

2- It is noted that (employer�s personal name) appears to be the Vice president of company A and Company B. Is this correct
Yes. I have explained the reason

3- The employment letter of company A is not dated and cannot be considered

What if I may get the employment letter with date, I do have my start date and end date mentioned though on the letter

4 - Please submit letter on company letterhead from former employers that identify their authors, the author�s job title and addresses and they must include detailed description of the duties performed including the dates of employments.
I do have the letters from my previous employers but not unnecessarily with the all informations that they are asking, how should I handle this

5- Please provide evidence the beneficiary has required experience as stated on the individuals labor certification by the priority date

6 - Please submit at least one of the following for 2003,2004,2005,2006 from the petitioner of the i-140
A copy of the corporations annual federal tax return including copies of all schedules or
An audited financial statement or
An annual report

7 - Please submit a statement from the petitioner and a statement from the beneficiary. Please explain the relationship between the owners of the petitioning business and the beneficiary.

8- Does the beneficiary have an ownership interest?

9- Is there a familial relationship [ between the owners, stockholders, partner, corporate officers, incorporators of the petitioner and the beneficiary/

10 - The indication must be made by the petitioner and the beneficiary

11- If a relationship does exist, please submit a detailed exploitation and provide evidence that the relationship was disclose to the Department of Labor prior to the certification of the ETA.

Now, I do not have familial relationship with the vice president of the company, I do not have any owner ship interest in the company. It is strange the VP of the company A and company B is the same guy , since he left company A and started his own company B and I moved with him to company B since he has a job for me.


Please help me here, I am really worried what to do and how to have all this information replied.

Thanks

Go only if you really need to. If it's just a vacation, postponing is a good idea but don't miss out on brother's wedding etc to stay in US.

Visa Bulletin
Number 108
Volume IX
Washington, D.C.


The Visa Bulletin for July 2007, posted on June 12, must be read in conjunction with the Update of July Visa Availability, posted on July 2.

The Update of July Visa Availability, posted on July 2, must be read in conjunction with the Visa Bulletin for July 2007, which was posted on June 12.

Input by Krupa:

The above is the visa bulletine. I wanted know what is the impact on leagal status of old bulelletins.

I will be there. Do you know why they made all cases current in june if they have that much of a backlog. Amr Diab is some good music right there. Did you go to Sharm

That was supposedly a procedural issue between Dept. of State (DOS) and USCIS. The way the DOS releases visa numbers and procedure USCIS follows to utilize them. Read this blog by one of the IV core members for more details: http://nixstor.blogspot.com/2007/06/how-does-july-2007-visa-bulletin-became.html

I stayed in Al Asarma Ramadan City for work. Went to Iskenderiya not Sharm.

excuse me. What wrong with this info. EB3 was/is badly suffering because of those illegals. Looks like ur the anti and the troll.

Troll alert. This guy is trying taint eb3.

well .. my priority date is July 2002 .. nd there are 14k eb3 visas wordwide .. until this date.
I agree it is 7%.
Either ways .. out of teh annual 119k visas available .. wouldn't 30% .. 40k be available for Eb3?
In that case .. why is the priority date July 02 ..w hich only accounts for 14k visas .. and not dec 03 .. which would account for 40k visas?

i would say apply for the Eb2. I am on Eb3 right now and i will plan to apply for eb2 after Dec 2008.

you can apply .

You don't need to be a US citizen or Permanent resident to qualify for student loans .

They'll probably start with what Senate passes. and make some minor amendments.

If it passes the house, conference will be piece of cake.

Our best hope is:

1. When senators return to the constituencies for the memorial day recess, they receive a LOT of negative feedback about CIR and enough number of senators change their minds and vote in -ve and bill fails to make out of the Senate. Likelihood: 10-20%.

2. House of reps votes on this CIR and defeats it. Likelihood: 40-60%.

I hope one way or another, this piece of crap fails and I happily get my GC in another 5-10 years. If it passes, I'll have to pack my bags. Amen.

I haven't come here for a while and don't know what's happening here. Several weeks ago, we said we would be happy if congresses pass CIR. How come we don't want CIR to be passed now?

Guys forget what we think on the HR5882. iF WE ALL GET TOGETHER AND PRAY ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. So lets stop being negative in our approcah and just say yes it will and keep calling and praying yaar.

better check with your immigration attroney for your situation.

It is better to have all visa related documents including I-797, LCA, I-129, passport, w-2, pay stubs, current company employment letter, appointment letter, resume, bank financial statements, work experience letters, etc. call the consulate and verify the reqd docs before you go.

regd AP, if your previous visa stamping is expired in passport then it is better to have AP when you go outside country for visa stamping. just incase if any problems with your paper and if they didnt stamp, atleast you can use AP to enter US. If previous visa is not expired you can come back to US using that at port of entry and you can go back and get stamping later. better check with your immigration attroney for your situation.

If you use AP, you should use EAD to work. You cannot use H1 unless if you get H1 stamped in your passport OR if you have already stamped, you need to re-enter US using H1 at port of entry (but either case, you need to go outside US and enter).

also staying in H1 is better compared to working in EAD (if AP used at port of entry) because if I-485 is denied in future, you will be considered as "out of status" when you are in EAD and you can't file for another I-485 because you are out of status (unless if you come under certain USCIS relaxations you can file again). But in H1 even if I-485 is denied, atleast you can file another I-485 because you are in status.

some say if your GC is approved when you are out of country, then you need to use AP ONLY to enter US as they say H1 wont be valid if GC is approved but I'm not sure abt this.

good luck.

Hi

I am working in University in US and my I-140 (EB-2 Sch-A) is approved and my I-485 is pending. I have H-1B approved from March-06 but yet not stamped.

I am planing to Go to India some time next summer.

But before that I am planing to go to MEXICO ( MATAMOROS) for H-1B and
H-4 stamping for my family.

Do I need to carry any extra documents apart from those needed for H-1 B stamping?

DO I need to Get Advance parole before going to mexico for H-1B stamping?

Does the my going out of country with pending I-485 without taking AP will affect pending application of I-485?

Your experienced advise will help me a lot.

Hi,

My parents got 10 year multiple entry US visa 2 years back. My brother who was residing here had sent the required documents and applied the visitor visa. My parents had visited me then for 3 months. Now I am planning to get my parents to US. But my brother no longer lives in USA. Is my parent�s visitor visa still valid since my brother is not residing here or should I re apply for my parents visitors visa. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is really a very bad and sorry situation to be in.
I am feeling very bad after reading this.
This is unnecessary harrasment.
It is fault on your part too. They should not have overstayed and should have
filed for extension if they had to.

Best bet is to hire a good lawyer quickly.
Good luck.
Let me know if we can help. Send me PM if you need help of any kind.
I am in San Francisco area.

So barring a once in 5 year trip/mail to consulate, there are no issues with PIO.


There is an issue. You have to make a trip to the local police station every six months to register your child. If you're lucky, the officials will be polite and helpful and do this without fuss. But knowing India very well, they're more likely to create a fuss till you've bribed them. Also, now they know where your child lives and the fact that he/she is a US citizen. Who knows, what kind of people they will pass on this information to...

Conspiracy theories aside, the whole procedure reeks of the way sex offenders have to register with the police in the US - I just don't like it.

Does EAD & AP have to be sent to the same address if we do efiling

Thanks in advance

if you want networking and be independent then you can join Amway :D.
am joking ofcourse

Thanks Dhun Dhun....bumping it.....

i dont see any of the above said...:o..how lond does it take for us to receive rn in hand after the checks are cashed...I am starting to worry now.If everybody can see the rn why icant i!:o...The uscis cs is not telling the status...Is there a possiblity of appl rejection even after the checks are cleared.:confused::confused:
Thanks.
your checked it cashed means you will get the receipt notice soon. Why are you in such a hurry to know the receipt number? Never have so many people actually waited for their checks to be "CASHED" . so relax and take a break

cheers
