I have a question: How many months in advance should you apply for H1 extension? Do you get extension from the date you applied or from date when your H1 expires?

simple1 - whenever I see ur reply, it's regarding a toll alert. Same with ronhira guy. All you 2 two do is issue toll alert whenever someone asks a question.

H1-B audits are a reality and he is asking about a visit that he got because clearly no one expects it. What's the problem? What fact gaps did ur james bond brain find?

Looks like your PD is current. You might get your GC anytime. That is another factor I would consider if your GC gets approved before you get married.

Filing six months in advance seems to be a better idea.

Any ideas to help speeden up the PERM processing in Atlanta center?

Hundreds of folks are stuck for more than 150 days and are in a critical situation now.

Please help us with ur suggestions...

That is correct. Mixing and matching with certifications doesn't work. Although I don't know about CPA, if it goes towards professional degree.

Hey there, I have a three year bachelor's (from Australia) and an American CPA. I believe the two can be evaluated to an Ameircan Master's equivalent. Please, check with your lawyers. It should be possible.

I don't know if it is mandatory rule but it definitely is a strong message from US Embassy in Canada. I registered for my trip to visit Canada in Oct 2006, but eventually backed out after reading this message. I don't know if the same message is still being shown or not.

You can use the services of some CPA since you have so many changes in status and deductions to claim plus filing of ITIN for your wife. When I changed status from F1- H1 I used the CPA since I was not sure if I would be able to do it right. Better to go to an experienced CPA rather than H&R block kind of people. PM me if you want details of the guy I use.

Don't do it. Its a trick!!! You will be run over by really big airplanes!! I mean really big!


there is a huge run way... Try to make use of it.

Go little bit more SOUTH and you will end up in NORTH and this is called optimism and i love this optimism over pessimism.

Everybody had different sources and those sources have their own sources.
So, sometimes your sources are wrong and relying them we tend to go wrong. Thats all to it.

However, iam of the view that we should believe all the sources both negative and positive and then make your educated guesees.

This is my guess
There will be relief but not to everyone.
USCIS/DOS will announce the news without an apology, but it will not please everybody.
They will accept few applications just to nake their case stronger and remove the teeth of AILF lawsuit.

USCIS/DOS is ready to take head on with AILF but only after making their asses stiff.

USCIS/DOS knows their bad deeds but is not passing all of it to its masters.
Masters are saying why we need to bend over, lets take on these immigrants.

At the end few will be fired and few will resign from USCIS and DOS with fewer I-485 applications accepted from July 2.

Thats all.

One of my friends AOS got rejected just because his attorney rescheduled his interview. Somehow, USCIS local office did not acknowledge his request for interview reschedule and they sent a rejection letter saying that, he did not appear for the interview so they are rejecting his application. So the bottomline is 1) Try your best to not to reschedule it 2) If you have to, make sure that USCIS acknowledges your application to reschedule it.

If I-485 is still pending, you can try to use AC21 and port old I-140 to new employer. Nothing to lose, a lot to gain if it works out. AC21 is not clearly defined and it's not codified in regulations so you have a good chance to prevail. The only problem I see is that the old employer no longer exists. Termination of the employer's business is one of the reasons for automatic revocation of I-140 (see 8 CFR 205.1(a)(iii)(D)). However if old employer was simply merged into another company, you can argue that business was not terminated.

Hi,

I was hoping to get some help on my situation. I have I-140 approved, received EAD and AP. Also my H1B was also recently extended. I am expecting a promotion and also will have to change location to a different city with the same employer.

Would this require filing for AC21? Also would this require amendment to H1B visa?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
Did you pay wipro and got your relieving certificates .Please update.

Thanks

I got denied by discover credit card due to not having a green card.
They said, it is just their policy that they won't give credit cards to
people who don't have green cards.
I could't co-sign my friends student loan application as i did't have a green card. They said, i have to be Permanent legal resident to co-sign.

Though i have a mortgage now, my first mortagage application got denied on same grounds.

Apparently fannie mae guildelines stipulates that H1B(foriegn investment) needs to put 60% down to get a mortgage loan.

But most of the lenders do mortgages anyways even for the people who does't have a ssn:).

Discover Card is a bit picky...I applied a second time around and they approved it.

Student loans - federal loans require full citizenship.

Great shot Don....I like that image a lot.

Done!

I would have love to see a section to show that we are law-abiding and the contribution of our family to our community and the economy. For instance my son has graduated college and now working, paying taxes and contributing to the US economy. And I am sure that most of you here who have college age kids are sending them to colleges and sometimes even paying out-of-state tuition to boot.

Thank You for filling in and for your suggestion.
Have you filled some details in the section of "Any other way you have contributed to the American Economy / Community." in the survey?

I was in this situation few years back. I was on bench for 8 months (not paid). I chose not to reply to the DOL letter. I feared that accepting that I was on bench for 8 months will make you out of status.
Every time you go for H1 revalidation, you will be asked were you out of status any time.
Later I have done 3 H1 revalidations (Canada), no problems. If sending reply is not mandatory then keep quiet. Six months later my employer filed for bankruptcy.

Not getting paid on bench for >180 days has serious consequences during the adjudication of I-485. Read the following thread

Are you 100% sure that it's the stamped visa date which will be given on the arrival and not the extension date ?? I was under the impression other way round ?


Look at this thread

My last EAD renewal was processed very fast from TSC

Applied: 10/22
Card Production Ordered: 11/12

Are all these paper based filings or e-filings?

I e-filed EAD/AP renewals on May 25th, 2009. Applications are at TSC. My AP got approved on June 19th and I received the AP documents on June 20th. However, my EAD application is still pending since May 25th. I think most, if not all, EAD e-files receive a FP notice and they take a picture as well as FP when we go to the ASC. I haven't received FP notice either so far. From what I am seeing, EAD paper based filing is being processed much faster (2-3 weeks) than e-filings. Anyone who e-filed EAD could pls let us know how long it took for FP notice and EAD approval.
