This news might not be directly related to our cause but its very much relevant. Here also, they can come with similar results saying that out of all the IT jobs in US, x % have been gone to immigrants where x > 50. Opponents of our cause may use this gainst us.
Precisely my point...why are we enabling anti-immigrants with material to lobby against us....And that is why I raised the question of bringing the issue here....

But I appreciate the insight alterego had to share...it was insightfull and very educative...thxs for sharing a different view...

hi,
Can someone help me with the situation i'm in.
I had H1B Visa validityfrom X company from 06/2004 - 12/2007.Applied for extension in June 2007. I had
query on it and i got status update in Feb 2008,stating request for evidence(RFE) documents.
X company send the documents but got denial on May 2 , 2008. I had 2 options at this point of time
first one was make an appeal with right documents. second one was to leave the country in 30
days which i has NOT choosen obviously.
In the mean time, i have applied for H1-B Transfer with new company with premium processing. Also made appeal with old company (X) , I'm waiting for the decision of appeal. but now, i got
APPROVAL on my H1-B Transfer with new company.
I-94 that i have on my passport is with Old company(X) .

Question is:
I need to revalidate my visa that was expired in December 2007. I received my H1B extention last week
when i met Immigration officer close to where i live. she said u r good to travel with new I#94 number (which is same as old one). but without visa how would it be possible.
Do i really need stamping to go out of US to visit my native country?

Pls advise. Any answers would be appreciated

Seewa helps people who have undergone similar experiences as you did. Call them for advice and help. If they can't directly help you atleast they can refer to a proper organization that would.

All the best.

I am working on EAD which expires on 10th Septempber 2008. I filed for my EAD on 25th June, 2008 and with the current processing dates at Nebraska, my guess is that I wont recieve my EAD until later September/early October.

Will I have to stop working for the period when I dont have my EAD? My employer is very co-operative and will bear with me. But what are my options?

My husband is the primary applicant of our 485 petition, so we wont have any issues of going out of status.

I would really appreciate your advice on this.

I am sure your employer knows about the rules around eligibility to work and will not allow any unauthorized to work even for a day past expiry date.

Hope you will get the Renewed EAD soon before expiry of old one.

Hey, what you think or say does not matter. This is what lawyers are for, go hire an attorney.
Oh! I might have forgotten that you might be working for a desi consultant, who will pad your resume to make it look like Kernigan's or Ritchie's. ..maybe they can qualify you for EB-1...

she has to get a new H1 and will count against the cap so she has to wait. also time spent on h4 will count towards 6 year total.

USCIS has all information but they might not have resource/time to collect information about old cases that�s why they might be seeking help from other body.

How difficult is it to find info about the old cases. It is a simple search query on the database. (One single query)

Stuk,
You'll be stuck forever if your 140 gets denied after you use AC21. If the 140 gets denied, your 485 will be denied automatically and your EAD becomes invalid. At this point, you have the option of filing a motion to reopen the 140 case and/or applying for an H1(that is not subject to quota), provided you have not spent more than 180 days in the US after your 140/485 are denied.
In all likelihood your H1 will be approved, but you need to go to your home country to get the visa stamped and reenter to start work. When you go for stamping to your home country there a a good chance that your stamping might be denied because you have shown 'intent to immigrate' by applying for 140/485 earlier. Granted, H1B in and of itself is a dual intent visa but you will be at the mercy of the visa officer at the consulate and the odds are stacked up against you.
So, be very very careful if you exercise AC21 prior to your 140 approval.

The best alternative is to ask your new employer to file for premium H1b transfer.

Please stop this insanity and concentrate on good work.

Hi desi9333, let me answer your question in general and note that this is not a speculation on the OP's case. A common reason for L1 denial could be that the USCIS determines that the petitioner isn't really in a 'specialty' occupation. For example, if his job description mentions java programmer, then he is more likely to get denied since we know there is a surplus of java programmers in this country (US citizens, LPRs and our favorite H1Bs). Since I was on an L1 visa, I know the purpose was really 'specialty' occupation which means you need to be an expert on something that's not easily available in the U.S.

To gchodhry, hope you get clarification and solution on your case soon, if you haven't broken any rules. Good luck.

EVERYBODY PLS PLS CONTRIBUTE....

Do the math ??? u did it for us ;)

Dark Child has no votes, someones gotta vote for him, hes got a really good layout.

Received Appointment Letter today..

Asked for Medicals, Tax returns(Last 3 years), birth Certificate, and Affidavit of Support I834(mine is not Family based GC) why did they ask me. Is there anyone else in the same situation

I am the primary Applicant, PD Jul 2003, EB3

There are no visa numbers available for this category. Why Interview call..

Even if they selected my application randomly there are no visa numbers available..

Please help..
I also got the interview letter today in Dallas. mine is also PD Jul 2003, EB3 India

need to in good condition from your PD. So whatever adjustments they are doing needs to be done since PD. I hope your lawyer knows this.

Let's not laugh it off so completely. When was the LUD on your I-485? It will give us some more clue about what exactly is going on behind the iron curtains.


Recently my wife went for finger printing.... none of us except her received FP notice. So she went there and did FP and asked the person over there about why I didn't get FP.
The person asked her my name and A#. He looked into the system and said I didn't get FP because by July you will get your GCs...... my FPs are still valid.... I know what he said is not true.... as you can see my PD.... but I keep wondering why he said that after looking in his system...... :confused:

PS - Sorry for the Title. But I am just quoting him.

A Call from DOL to your Employer is enough to start coughing all the Money he owes you. Make sure you have all the paper Trail as Evidence -Emails,Fax and etc..

Good movement. Looks like USCIS going work.

One of my friend filed on July 2nd through her lawyer but she has not received any Receipt Notice (her checks have also not been cashed yet).

Her lawyer has the Fedex delivery confirmation that the application was delivered on July 2nd.

Anyone in similar circumstances? Would appreciate any help on this matter.

Now everything is queued..... no more cutting lines.
