Our travel doc is expiring in October 2010. My wife would like to travel in Sep and return in Nov/Dec timeframe and now we are waiting since mid July on the renewal. Airfares are already high this year for some reason and we can't make travel plans or book tickets until the last minute. Very frustrating. I remember last year my renewal got approved in less than a month, not sure whats the delay this year...How do we even go about contacting them to expedite?

Hi, your experience with visa rules will help me make a better decision. Here's my situation,
H1b visa on passport expired on Apr/2009. Have approval until Apr/2010. Applied for 3 year extn in Nov/2009 under PP.
An RFE is raised against the H1b extn (which was applied in Nov/2009). I have vacation planned starting 14Dec/2009; with just 3-4 months left on approved H1b papers, is it advisable to travel to India and do the stamping in HYD? Or am I risking my return to US?
Please advice, and thank you. - Ahjeet.

I am also in a similar situation. My dad's brother filed for my dad in 1983. However my dad did not go for his visa interview as he was no longer interested in moving to US and due to him I am stuck reading immigrationvoice.org forums everyday.
Since your application is filed before 1998 you are eligible for 245(i) as a grandfathered alien . Suppose you fall out of status for any amount of time during your h1 period you can use 245(i) , pay 1000$ and still file for i-485 .
245(k) which is available for everybody and protects an out of status person for 180 days while 245(i) is available for persons only who were a beneficiary or a derivative beneficiary of a i-130 application or i-140 application before 1998.
I did extensive research on porting of priority dates. Priority dates can be ported in the following situations
a) Family petition when a son/daughter turns 21.
b) Employment based petition when an i-140 is approved and will not be revoked by the previous employer before this i-140 priority date is transferred to another i-140 petition.
c) Employment based petition when 180 days have passed since i-485 is filed and i-140 is approvable due to AC 21 regulations (note the word approvable)
d) Priority dates before 1977.
However I do know of any recapture mechanism for priority dates from family based petitions to employment based petitions. However if you do find any interesting information about porting dates from family based application to employment based information pls do post it.

Folks,
RANCH 99 is a popular Chinese groceries visited by most chinese indeed in Silicon Valley _ Bay Area - This can be a sure shot for publicity for EB Retro Join the cause campaign among them.
Not sure if this is a good idea, 1. Either to put a English note on How chinese is affected because of EB Visa Retrogression ? and pass the website and email id to join ?
Or get a person to translate it into Chinese and put it up in Ranch 99 - Milpitas, berkley, Fremont, Sanjose ? Ranch 99 is a popular place among chinese network to buy vegetables and well networked among chinese !
I am assuming there must be similar network of Chinese Shops in other cities !. I am going to ask a few of my students from China to post it in their internal mail aliases for wide coverage !
Some thoughts on this ? ALSO _ Indians perhaps can talk to Silicon india, then other Bay Area local newspapers to publish it ? - Put it up in Komala Vilas, Udupi, etc ?

Hi,
I just came in yesterday evening and I did not have any problems while entering the country at POE. I applied for I-485 on Aug 17th and left US on 24th. I have a valid VISA stamping till June 2008 but got a different H-1 transfer visa I-797 till jan 2010.
The officer at POE didnt ask me any single Q and he simply let me in with a new I-94 (he noted the new company name on the back of I-94 as usual).
I hope this helps you.

Friends,
Does anyone know if people who've filed for I-485 can claim unemployment insurance?......The client where I was working cancelled my project due to budget cuts :(....I was wondering if I can claim unemployment till I find a new job. Does any one know any non-desi companies hiring in the Michigan, Ohio, Illinois or Midwest in general?.....I am PMI certified Project Manager with J2EE background. Any prompt help would be highly appreciated.

usually a CPA can give an audited report ...or the bank auditors can
Is the company a Corp, LLC or sole prop?
>>The company is a Corporation. Can any CPA give an audit report... can you be more elaborative about the process of getting audited report... like what are we supposed to provide the CPA to get the audit report...

I am fine with abandoning the current H1-B extension process. My question is if there will be any problems leaving the country on an expired I-94 even though I am still technically in status.
My concern is that I will have problems if I apply for a tourist visa or H1-B visa in the future.

Is it correct that with an AP you are not guaranteed re-entry?
Yes, that's correct. Especially if you are subject to 3 or 10 years bar.
For how many months is it valid?
For 1 year.
DO you need a lawyer to re new it or is it an easy process that any layman can re-new on their own?
No, I did it myself twice.

Hi,
My friend got his H1 last year for 2007-2008 and came to US in DEC 2007, he works for IT company. However, since he has arrived he has not been placed on a project and so no pay stub has been generated. He has been on bench for 6 months.(technically without a job but has H1)
Is he out of status?
Can he show that he is on vacation till he gets a project?
Is there any other way?
Pls help.
Thanks!
Yes. He is out of status and I dont believe you can show six months as vocation. You need give the reason and proof for the long period of vocation. His employer must pay him the salary even if he is not in porject. Otherwise its illegal

I had to look up the meaning of WPF :)
No - I'm using VS 2005 .NET. It is a standard Windows Application Form in C#.
The combo box selected index value change causes 2 panes to change. The one pane allows the user to Update information of the Item in the selected index. The other pane displays all database elements FKeying to that item.
So sometimes the user may update the portion of the information that is set as DisplayValue in the combobox. The object itself is updated, but the combobox text remains as the old value.
I'm essentially looking for a best practice in doing this. Whenever updating a member of the combobox should I rebind the datasource? I tried using the Refresh() and Update() methods but they do not update the display value.

The short answer is yes. Once you have an approved I-140, you can ask to be accorded the PD on any subsequent I-140.

Please..request that only those with personal experience with this respond. I have to decide in the next hour or so and have lawyer opinions already.
Has anyone gone through this?
My H1 is pending 221g admin process (Pink. possibly because I have a Phd in biology) I can't wait much longer as I may risk losing my job. Can I travel on my valid AP? I am not concerned about keeping my H1 status etc. My only concern is at port of entry. Lawyers have told me it is ok, but I would like to hear from people who have done this themselves.

Hi Gurus,
I need some advice from you guys
My initial receipt date for I-485 from Vermont service center was July 7th 2007. But when I-485 was transferred to Texas service center, receipt date on I-485 is showing as September 11th 2007. Can we do anything to correct the wrong receipt dates as this might have significant impact on my processing times. Please advice
Thanks

It depends on job duties mentioned in the LCA. For example, you might be a solution architect and this comes with experience. Some roles could be guiding junior folks, interviewing people, reviewing work done by others, project management, vendor management etc ... Essentially you need to prove your 5-year experience is worth and that is what is needed to fill your current role. Prove that this can not filled by a plain BS graduate with no experience or even a guy/girl with MS degree and no experience. DOL might be thinking why not just a BS degree or BS + 5 years = MS degree.
I am not an expert in this. Please discuss with your attorney for better advice.

I am on h1-b visa and I have got an opportunity to have promotion in my current company. This new position is in the same department with the same company and needs almost same type of computer skill but with higher position title, more responsibility, and higher pay.
Question:
Do i need to file for new h1-b or transfer?
No transfer..may be a new LCA but not sure.

My H1-B is valid from September 14 2006 to September 14 2007.I got laid off recently; my LC is pending Dallas Backlog center last 3 years, I got new job and submitted my last pay stub December 15 2006 to my new Lawyer with my ex lawyer contact address. I do not know whether there will be any hassle in USCIS for my H1-B 8th year extension approval? My new lawyer is yet to file my premium H1B extension. I am very anxious regarding the uncertainty of extension.
