Employer shared the copy of the labor filed and the answer to the question was NO. Please share your knowledge on what could have triggered the NOIR and what can be done

Hi,

Here is my story, your help & information will be appreciated...

1. I am currently working for Company A on L1B.
2. I applied for my H1B through company B while I was in US, which got approved and is valid from Oct 2007.
3. Now, my Company B which filed for my H1B had also applied for a Change of Status with the H1 & I have got my Change of Status notice along with the H1b approval. This means that my status will change to H1 from October and my L1B will not be valid.

Now, my problem is that I do not want to Join the New company until December.
However, can I still work with my company A on L1B even if after October.

Is there any Solution where we can reverse the change of Status?? and will i still be able to work on L1B after October even if my status is H1B. Will my L1B be valid or it will get cancelled???


No, you cannot reverse the change of status. The best thing to do is to join company B. From Oct 1st your status is H1. If you would have applied for fresh H1 then you cud have continued to work for company A.For this when ever you want to change to H1, you should leave the country and come back on company B visa.
I'm not sure what your problem is to join company B from Oct 1st.
PM me if you need more details. I did this conversion from L1 to H1 long time ago.

Whay are you asking this question??:confused:

what are the complications of applying to eb2 if there is only 3 year degree bachelor degree? Have a masters degree from Singapore - will that be enough to qualify?

Hi
I got selected in the lottery this year 2009 for H1. I filed it through a consultant in US. I am currently in India and waiting for I-797. Some quick questions :

1. If a MNC in US is ready to offer me a job, when is the earliest, the H1 can get transferred ?. is it possible to get the H1 transferred before I get it stamped in India itself ? (before October).
2. If the above is not possible, when is it possible to transfer the H1 ?.
3. Is it necessary I work with the consultant, before I can get my H1 transferred?.

i'm in

For tax purposes you are resident of state where you reside. For best opinion you can check with the international students center at your school. It is not illegal to attend classes online if your school allows you the option. .

It is illegal to have all online classes on F1. On F1, you can take upto 3 credit online per semester, rest need to be in class.
If you are on H1/H4 etc., you can take all online class.

Thanks you so much

Would going to Canada and re-entering without going for visa stamping count as lawful entry??

Yes (assuming you stayed in Canada for less than 2 weeks or whatever is that number).

Or one has to go and get the visa stamped to qualify as lawful entry??

Also when you go to Canada and come back Without VISA stamping, he gets the same I-94 or different I-94??

Thanks.
If you did not submit your old I-94 at the time of entering canada, then you keep the same I-94. In fact, if you do not have a valid visa stamp (i.e., you are entering using visa revalidation), then it is best not to submit your current I-94.

I guess you need GC to apply for UnEmployment benefits....Is it correct?

Anoop - dont worry about it and ask your company to reapply with a stronger educational valuation. Everything depends on the educational valuation report submitted along with the application.

Request for a stronger educational evaluation and request them to reapply.

What would be fee for the old folks who filed I-485 in June?
Use the new fee for EAD as June filers did not pay the new USCIS fee for 485 filing.

YOu might have already tried this - pls try emailing any school association there (Indian Students Association) - that might turn up good contacts. They are a couple of good universities out there like Chapel Hill...

Thanks for the suggestion but We need people who are stuck in retrogression. Professionals who have a story to tell. They should be IV members too.

I will fell more comfortable if the experience letter mentions the last day as 5/17/2009. Otherwise I will simply mention it as April 2009. This way the continuous employment criteria will be met.

Folks,

I am really worried.

Do you think an infopass appointment would help?
Please throw some ideas.

MY I485 is current for past 18 months on EB1, soft LUD End Feb 2011 on EAD & AP, Any reason why or just normal computer maintainence.

Based on these reasons:

1. EB legals doesn't really count when it comes to the consideration. For one, the numbers that are suffering are too small; for two, what you go through is nothing in the eye of Kennedy's --- you have a job, you have enough food, you are not dying in the desert....you are having a pretty decent life, except that you wanted more;

2. Senators like Sessions can still argue that "so many legal people are waiting in the line", because you are indeed still waiting even though you can now file 485. So allow you to file doesn't really change their argument;

3. What makes you think that if you shut up they are going to have a easy day? It's not like that you have any teeth to bite any way.

So the PD moves forward is definitely a good thing regardless how CIR plays out.


Mark my words.... President Bush will single handedly make sure to pass the bill as it is.....

No one can stop it.

Do you all think it is just a co incidense that all the dates became current just when this bill (which was supposed to be in grave :rolleyes: ) is revived by those who extremely opposed it?

Do you know how many people will stop giving a damn, because they just filed their 485 s?
People like me who are result of bad practice employers are still here, and lucky ones will depart.....

We have been dealt a crucial blow here.

Could you share information about your attorney?

I paid $350 to my attorney. However there is no filing fee.

I have a approved H1b from company A. Company A also shared a copy of approval. I was never counted under H1b cap before this approval. If I now decide not to join company A and assuming company A will not cancel H1b, can I use this H1b to join another company B later using H1b transfer�???? I am presently on cap except H1b and need a cap subject H1b in order to move to any private firm. So approval from company A matters a lot to me.

Has anyone done this�????

Thanks in advance...

IMO, you cannot do this as you are moving from a cap exempt H1 to a non-exempt H1. So, in this case it will be regarded as a fresh H1 application and not a transfer. If you want to join Company B, then they have to file a new H1 application which will count towards the cap. Hope this helps!

I would like to see this kind of report in front page of WSJ and NY times.

I like the below points from the report.

- There is no evidence that during the long periods of time when no foreign
nationals could receive new H-1B petitions the job market improved for U.S. workers or professionals.

- The March 2009 findings from Duke University and University of California, Berkeley researchers send a signal that America cannot take it for granted that outstanding international students, researchers and professionals from around the world will always want to stay and work in the United States.

- The relaxation of green card constraints proposed in the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 could have increased labor earnings and GDP by approximately $34 billion in the tenth year following enactment and had a net positive effect on the budget of $34 to $47 billion over ten years.

- Relaxation of H-1B caps under the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 could have increased labor earnings and GDP by $60 billion in the tenth year following enactment and improved the federal budget�s bottom line by $64 to $86 billion over ten years.�

- �Over the past 15 years, immigrants have started 25 percent of U.S. public companies that were venture-backed, a high percentage of the most innovative companies in America . . . The largest U.S. venture-backed public companies started by immigrants include Intel, Solectron, Sanmina-SCI, Sun Microsystems, eBay, Yahoo!, and Google.

- we estimate that all companies founded by immigrants from 1995 to 2005 produced $52 billion in sales and employed 450,000 workers in 2005,�
