For my recent H1B extention for 7th year extention, I have come across strange situation.
My old H1B was valid till 5th Feb 2007. Extention was applied in Jan 2007 with approved I-140. Recently I have received approved H1B extention with new I-94, but it states validity is from 22 March 2007 to 5th Feb 2010.

I thought the extention should have been from 6th Feb 2007 to 5th Feb 2010.

what should be infered from above ? Does it mean that I was out of ststus fron 6th Feb 2007 till 21st March 2007.

I would appereciate any input on this.
If this makes me out of status , is there a way to fix this by contacting USCIS again ?

Thanks

Why blame illegal Indians? They are desperate for survival and come to USA to earn 2 square meals a day.

What about the Legal Indians? The so called best and the brightest.
Even legal Indians commit acts that bring shame. Just go to any anti-immigrant website and you will see tons of news article links. This is why antis call Indians slumdogs

Hi Sydeajmal,

How long did it take for your EAD to get approved once you have submitted your RFE

Regards

I got my AP approved on 09/13 and got the documents on 09/20

I went by my EAD expiration date and filed both EAD and AP renewals but only after filing , I saw my AP expiry date is mor ethan 120 days away .I am really worried abt this .I received my receipt notices but no birometrics yet.
Have anyone of you guys got other updates ?

Hmmm. Sorry I don't think I can help you out. My focus is mainly web design, and interactivity. I try to stay away from animation if at all possible.

Thanks,

You can start working for other company only 180 days after receipt date for your I-485. The job has to be same or similar (profession-wise). If you are planning to change companies, it's better to do it before you get your GC, rather than immediately after.

You will be considered as an eligible non-citized once you have used your Advance Parole (obtained by filing I-131) to return to US after foreign travel. Your I-94 will have a parolee stamp, and you will need to submit that to the financial aid department of your school in proof of your "Eligible Non-citizen" status.

Once you have the parolee stamp on your I-94, file FAFSA online and your school will be notified as soon as they process your application. You will then contact the financial aid department at your school and submit a copy of your parolee stamped I-94. The process was very easy and quick at Arizona State University for my spouse.

Hope this helps.:)

thank you very much for the info.

Friends,

I need urgent expert/experianced advise for my 140RFE. You will find all the details of case here. Questions are all the way down. >>


(LCA)From 9089:
Education: Minimum Level Required - Bachelors
Experience required for offered job - 60 months
Is alternate combination of education and experience is acceptable � NO

From my Education evaluation:
12 (High Secondary) +3 (Engineering Diploma in Electronics and Communication) = Associate Degree in USA.
12+3+6yrs of Work experience = BS in USA.


RFE Details:
The analysis of credential, from the educational evaluation submitted by you, clearly states that�s 3 years document is equivalent to an associate degree in electronics &/or communication engineering from an accredited college in united states.

Submit evidence that the alien obtained the required bachelors of computer science before September 14 2005. Evidence of education must be in the form of an official record showing the dates of attendance, area of concentration of study, and the date of degree award, if any.

If another advisory evaluation of the alien�s credentials is also submitted, please ensure it is an acceptable evaluation.COLOR]

[COLOR="Black"]MY QUESTIONS ARE:


- Per my LCA; combination of education and experience is not acceptable. Does that mean my evaluation is of no use? And is this LCA good for me?

- If evaluation is using 6yrs of experience to make up for 2yrs of education; CAN I, still (also) show the same 6yrs of experience as job experience?

- I have another approved RIR (Approved Aug07). In worst case, can I use that RIR to file for new 140 to save my 485? Is there any time limit on RIR case too? Like using it under number of weeks/months?

I appreciate your time.

Thanks Much,
Regards

My luck is just not good w.r.t GC. Afte long wait my spouse finally had received her FP notice and is scheduled for her FP in couple of days. But today she accidently burnt her finger and that too right at the spot where we give the FP.

Guys , any suggestion as to what needs to be done. Should she still try to give the FP and see if it works. She has a big blister on her finger.

Any similar experiences , please post.

Yep..not to worry..just go there on the date of appt..they'll just ask you to come back when the finger heals...I cut my finger...officer made a notation on my form and asked me to come when it heals..I went after a month and got it done

I am very keen to try and get a state chapter from Indiana. There have to be at least half a dozen of us.

There are millions of Starbucks in the area, maybe we can monopolize a corner in one of them some time.

From what I have read here then most of the replies are in the Indianapolis and northern suburbs, so I am proposing that we meet this Saturday at the Starbucks in Westfield!

By this location I mean where Ashleys furniture is on US 31 and 146th Street.

I can make it any time on Saturday but we have to set on a time, I am suggesting 11am.

Hello Folks :

I am in Indy (basically in fishers). Stuck in this process since 2003. I am all for active participation with this IV Indiana forum. Pls. let me know.
Thanks

Just wanted to share our 7th year H-1B extension stamping in Chennai on July 15th. Since my I-140 was approved, the I-797 petition was approved for 3 years. My family (wife and daughter) attended the interview along with me. The procedure for H-1B extension/renewal is much easier in Chennai compared to first time stampers. There is a separate counter for renewals and the interview procedure is quite simple. After the initial screening of documents, we went to a separate renewal counter which did not have any queue.

The VO just asked some questions about my nature of the job and how long I have been with my company. FYI, my company is a major reputed IT Foreign MNC. My family was not asked any questions. We did not have any PIMS delays and I got the passport couriered the very next day itself. The petition was approved a month before the stamping. Overall it is a much streamlined process for H-1B visa extensions/renewals.

Thanks MP70

Thanks for sharing, Nice to know there is a separate counter for H1B revalidation. Enjoy your rest of the vacation.

Its my turn to complaint about Red dots. Who gave me a red dot? I am just kidding and messing with you :D

BTW, Dhundhun, I thought you said that you will abstain for couple of weeks. You are already back? Everything alright? Just asking....

Is your I-140 at TSC? Do you have any other I-140 or I-485 pending/Approved at TSC? They may be trying to consolidate all the cases.

Hello,

I got my EAD through my primary Employer. I am currently working on EAD but with a different Employer (NY State Agency) who doesn�t encourage GC processing, so did not file my AC21 and been working for over a year now. I still have good rapport with my primary Employer. Now I am scheduled to go to INDIA for few weeks, my question is " whom should I say is my Employer " if the immigration officer asks me at the port of entry (JFK). Please advise as I will be carrying my current pay stubs.

Thank you

While I do not have first hand experience. I do not believe the IO will care about your employment status or employer given that you have an AP don't recall anyone here saying that they were asked about the employer when using AP to enter.

Always play safe. Not all the immigration lawyers have the same answers. You might be right on several occasions, but the company will always go with the advice from the company lawyers. I have faced several idiotic decisions from my company lawyers which screwed me up big time in my GC process. But I have always played safe because I need the support from my company. When you take an offer from the new employer you do not know how good/bad are those company attorneys are. So play safe as it will cost you heavily.

NOTE: Having waited for several years with patience, develop the patience to wait for 6-8 months after 485 filing to be on safer side. Also invoking AC21 exactly after 6months does not create a good impression on you from your current employer as well as from the potential future employer. Always have a valid reason for invoking AC21 and do not invoke just because you can invoke. My 2 cents.

How do you prove to USCIS that your notice date is Aug 3 bcos I suppose in yr receipt notice, the date mentioned is of august.
Thanks

I just bought a new D70 and was interested in getting some advise from current owners about additional lenses and accessories.

Was looking at buying a SB-800 flash. Is this the best option?

How about additional lenses? I have an 18-70mm AF that came with the camera.

I am looking for other nikkor lenses that are very handy to have, meaning won't sit in the bag most of the time.

Any other advice or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Shawn

Nice image:) How long have you been using 3dsmax?

Not to put down your footer, but it does look very simple to make. It is just the concept of it that makes it very cool.

We traveled thru Frankfurt last September, no need of transit visa, no issues, everything was smooth.

This proves that the faxes sent via the webfax features are actually reaching the senators. I received a reply from Senator Specter's office too.


As far as the content of the replies goes, this proves again that to a lot of lawmakers, immigration = ILLEGAL immigration. It is upto us to educate them of our plight too.

Wam4Wam, can you call up your senator's office and speak to the immigration liaision? Explain to him that when you sent the fax to them, you had asked for considering pro immigrant legislation for legal immigrants.

You can ask the liaision for a meeting too. We have all the necessary resources you need for such a meeting on our resources website. The CA team has been successfully using these resources. And please update this thread too so that others may learn from you

Sometimes the senators, reps, have a prewritten document that they send out to anyone asking them about immigration reforms, that addresses the immigration issues. Notice how the reply faxes do not specifically address the issues we have raised, this is why.
But replies from some senators and reps are genuine and they do talk about the issues we raise.
