austingc,
Thank you for the advise.
My wife has already gone to the consulate and got her stamping. So she is out of the loop, its only me who needs the stamp.
To put my question in a different way:
Will the consulate cancel/stops/statusquo my wifes H4 visa as the H1B is in "Admin Processing"?
Thanks again.

Now because all embassies and consulates required to use PIMS to verify your H1B status... sometimes takes several weeks to get the passport stamped. In my case takes 3 weeks after interview to get my passport back (embassy at Lima, Peru).
So beware of the timing
I just bring a copy of my wife H1B approval and copy of lasts taxes ... just in case

What are the rules for getting a new 3 X 2 year H1.
Person leaves US while on the 5th year in November 07.
applies for H1b in april 08 and gets new H1b valid from Oct 08 to March 09.
However re-enters US only after 365 days of external stay in december 08 (not in Oct 08).
Is he eligible for a new 3X2 year H1 or can he obtain only a year extension to recapture the time spent abroad (365 days)?

Hi All ,
I am currently on L1B visa valid till Mar 09.
I can apply for renewal for the same in Sep 09 and wanted to check if there would be any issues as if i travel to india and return on the old petition in oct-nov 08 (in case the renewal is still pending).
Will my return on the old petition cancel my L1 renewal petetion ?
I am trying to get the L1 renewed as soon as possible so that i can file for EAD renewal for my spouse.
Any views would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Not advisable to apply for L1 extension now. You should do it after you are back from India. That is because, they will also extend your I-94 when you apply for extension (i.e the L1 extension approval notice will list your current I-94 number).
You would'nt want to end up in a state where you leave the country and return your current I-94 at the airport and CIS approves an extension on that I-94 (which you no longer have).
When you return, you will have a different I-94 that will be valid till Mar 09 and you have to file for extension again with that I-94. Alternately, you may go out of the country to get a new visa stamp before Mar 09 and re-enter with that visa stamp and get a new I-94...
convoluted, isnt it? Better to make that trip, come back, get a new I-94 and use that to extend your status.

My H1 expired and the extension is in process. But they did not file for H4 extension. I was told by my employer that she can get a visa stamp by presenting my H1 paper at the consulate. Is this true ? If so, what is the significance of H4 approval notice ?

Hello all,
I need a clarification about the I-94 thing.
As I have mentioned previously, my husband got a 3 year extension on his H-1 ( I 140 approval ) till 08/2009 and he went to canada for stamping since we are planning to leave for India. He drove to canada and the officers at the border while entering into canada did not take his old I 94( expired 08/2006) which was on his older passport ( expired 04/2006). While on his way back to US, they stapled the lower part of his I-797 dated till 08/2009 to his new passport (current one) and stamped on the passport. But they did not put any date on the stamp where it shows'dated till'.
We are leaving for India tomorrow and have a couple of questions in this regard:
1. Is it okay to have two I 94's in the two different passpots? Has it happened to anyone who drove to canada that their older I 94 has not been taken?
2. While departing to India, which I-94 will be taken? the expired one on the older passport or the new one in the new passport. If the new one has to be taken, as it is a part of the original I-797 form, should it be surrendered to them?
We really appreciate your answers. Since we are travelling tomorrow, we are really concerned about this issue.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello
I went through the same and it was fairly easy and not stressing.. you have to have copies of your passport ( the persons applying for extension and copies of the return tickets of the flights back home, you need a form : I-539 and fill it up, print it and send it with all the documentation they require, it would be advisable to have a sponsor or a person who certifies that will be financially in care of her expenses. ( forgot the form number but i think is I-139 ..please check ) and once you got all those requirements send them with 300 $ that costs the application process and in less then 4 weeks you will get a letter with either the aproval or the denial of the stay. If your I-94 expires while you wait for the form do not worry cause you are not going into illegal state while the USICIS is processing your application. GOOD LUCK !! and enjoy your ceremony !!

Hi All,
I have a question. I am working for a company on a H1-b visa status. And i applied for GC using a different company as future employment and i got my EAD and AP.
What is my stand here? Can i use the EAD and work a completely different company? or do i need to transfer my H1 to the company which did my GC?
Does AC21 apply here? (Because i haven't worked for the company at all who sponsored my GC)
Thanks,
Kris

Here is an excerpt from the link below.. it sounds crazy
"Visa numbers can retrogress in the middle of a month and become unavailable without prior notice. If there is a mid-month retrogression, USCIS could elect to stop accepting adjustment applications. While this is unlikely to occur in July 2007, it becomes more and more possible as the fiscal year progresses. "
I hope this doesnt happen.

Is this just a reference to how dates are generally published in the middle of the month? Could Fragomen be simply saying that it is unlikely that the visa bulletin published in the middle of the month of July will have the dates retrogressed, but later mid-month bulletins (in Aug etc.) could bring news of retrogresssion?
Note that the first sentence of the paragraph from which "averagedesi" has quoted says that "Though the principal employment-based categories are current for July, future retrogression is possible ...." This seems to indicate that they will remain current throughout July, which is what we know/believe.

Thanks for taking time to answer my query. I have other problem so I am confused about this fact. My spouse's name is correct on passport. but her mother's surname has spelling mistake.All other details are correct. We were not aware of the fact till now. Now we are in the process of applying for I485.
So I am worried about all this. If I take affidavit, it will work?

Congradulations again to all those IV memeber who are getting Green card approvals and goodluck to all those members who are able to file their I485 and get EAD, just to be out of H1B /H4 clutches and one more step closer to green card
As current drastic visa movment proved the fact that for IV members main issue is not current law but itz implimentation. a change in law will certainly help, but thatz not our big problem
I would like to discuss your IV future agend with current situation, Please post your opinion how you think IV should procede based on current situations.
I belive IV should now concentrate more on making sure current law is implimented in a more effeciant way, make sure USCIS does not waste any visa numbers, we need to push for speeding citizenship processes and makeup for loss time during retrogression
IV should stop chasing CIR which has nothing for us and itz very controversial
IV is for legals and we should concentrate only on whatz good for us
I really appreciate core members opinion
by the way I got my approval for my I485

Hello gurus,
I woked with Company A and got my I140 approved(PD sep 04 EB2). I had issue with Company A that they asked me wait to apply my I485 in july 2007 wave. I frustrated and moved to Company B and substitued another labor(PD May-2002 EB3), got theI140 approval and 485 is pending from july 2007. In the Meantime, Company A withdrawn my approved EB2 I140 petition couple of months ago to protect one of their employee I140 petition.
Currently i believe the situvation is not good for EB3 and planned to enable my "Company A" I140 petition to apply for I485. Will USCIS allow company A to enable the withrdrawn I140 petition to apply my I485? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
