I am not sure what my status is at present.
I re-entered in US in Dec 12th 2007 with the I-94 stamped as valid till duration of H1. My H1 Visa expired on Feb 6th 2008.
My company lawyer has filed for my H1 extension in Nov 2007 and I am still waiting.
I do have the EAD permit and the AP which I presume is not being used at present.
Please provide some guidance. My lawyer is not responding.
First of all, you cannot be out of status while I-485 is pending. Your H1 status is expired so technically you do not have H1 status anymore. However, if extension is approved, it will apply retroactively and make your H1 status current as of Feb 7th. Oh, forgot to mention that you can still work for 240 days after H1 is expired and it will not be counted as status violation.

Well we had Hindu marriage in May. We have our marriage card, pictures, witnesses etc. So I was under the impression that I would be able to get certificate from registrar. Here is info I got
"
Under the Hindu Marriage Act:
Parties to the marriage have to apply to the Registrar in whose jurisdiction the marriage is solemnised or to the Registrar in whose jurisdiction either party to the marriage has been residing at least for six months immediately preceding the date of marriage. Both the parties have to appear before the Registrar along with their parents or guardians or other witnesses within one month from the date of marriage. There is a provision for condonation of delay up to 5 years, by the Registrar, and thereafter by the District Registrar concerned."

alright fresh from this incident. my mother had 10 yr tourist visa expiring in 3 months after her travel date. in the old days it was recommended that you have at least 6 month visa validity when entering US for immigration purposes. Following that guideline she applied for a new tourist visa of course referring the current one on passport. While during her interview they didn't ask her any questions and told her that its a go. Her application got stuck in security verification which triggered due to the fact that she already had a valid visa. Upon researching further I found out you are safe to travel even a day before your visa is expiring because once you enter the country your stay is based on I-94 validity and not your visa. Hope this helps.

Look is good. But, for me I liked the old one. May be it would take some time for me to get used to new look. Site seems to be slow though.
Best thing was the candidate history infront of his name.
Anyway, good job done Admins. Best of luck.

I don't see any advantage in doing that but then I am not an expert or an attorney either.
Thanks,
Ok, let me put it this way.
Is the any advantage (or not), filing 140 1st, and lets say your PD is already current, file AOS later. I.E. file them Separately, not in the same packet.
So in this scenario, is the any difference vs. filing concurrently or not?

Once again Thanks, Bestin.
I am married long enough and I do not want to get into marriage again with a GORI ladki. Once bitten twice shy :rolleyes:. Enough is enough.
I spoke to my manager who had agreed to do the needful. However, he had put another spoke now by writing in the approval email that it is my responsibility to keep the EAD current.
I do not understand this part- I am working on H1-B, why should I keep my EAD current, by paying my own fees?

4. Does the answer to (3) above depend on whether you are on an I797 (H1) approval that is valid for a period beyond the paroled date or you are on an EAD?
---Yes depends on your H1 validity one can continue working although I-94 stamp paroled for 1yr validity expired ie AOS pending status will let you in and contine the work on H1 or EAD

what line?????? this is a standard bullshit line the disingenuous & dishonest leadership of aila has used time and time again..... this is what they say ..... everytime things appear to stall in the congress .... these con artist start saying that ...... highly skilled employment based green cards are suffering..... america is suffering & losing..... so pass the bill for the UNDOCUMENTED...... otherwise innovation will suffer..... it doesn't even make sense .... its total bullshit...... the job of lawyers is to lie..... but did someone say that joseph goebbels is now in the leadership of aila...... because this sounds to more like someone saying ...... if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it
aila has repeatedly blocked bills & provisions for employment based green cards...... aila has spent all its energy to make its members millionaires i.e. immigration lawyers.....if 12 million undocumented process paper work using 9000 immigration lawyers.... each immigration lawyer will get on average of over 1000 new customers....... so every time things stall in congress.... aila leadership comes up with this bullshit..... but actually this aila leadership is not at all sympathetic to employment based green cards....... its sympatheic to the pockets of their members i.e. immigration lawyers...... i hate immigration lawyers....... i hate aila because they are disingenuous & dishonest to the issue......

Hi,
I looking for porting my approved EB3 labor and 140 to EB2. Here are my details:
My qualification: Diploma in electronics and communication Engg in India
(3 years diploma after 10th)
Years of experience: Since 1991 in IT (About 20 YRs)
Green card process: EB3 Approved labor and 140.
Situation: When I contacted one of the university in USA they informed me that I can
do the Masters instead of BS online degree.
My question1: Will I be eligible to file my EB2 if I do Masters without doing BS?
My question 2: Is MS from International Technological University (http://www.ITU.EDU) is accepted bu USCIS for Immigration purpose?
Thanks in advance
AFAIK, if the MS degree is from an US accredited institution and your new EB-2 job requires a MS degree, then yes, your new employer can start the EB-2 process for you. Once you have a US Masters, it doesn't matter what your earlier educational qualifications are. Key thing here is that your EB-2 job MUST require a Masters degree.

Immigration in United States is a soveriegn issue of this country and foriegn governments cannot do anything about it. In fact, it would be offensive for Indian Govt to advice US congress to do something regarding immigration.
Kamalnath, India's commerce minister tried to meddle in British Parliament when they changed visa rules for Indian Doctors. The British Parliament warned him and asked him to BACK OFF.
Immigration is not a trade issue. There is not deal between 2 nations on immigration. We are not talking about crude oil or soybeans trading.
Please end this discussion here. It looks really naive of us to even think like this.

I dont think there is any need to apply for amendment in premium processing as long as you file the amendment before your current I-94 expires (which in your case is the date of EAD expiry).....I would suggest you to check with some other lawyer too regarding this because $1000 is not a small amount....

Guys,
This is election time and no immigration bills will be taken seriously until mid next year. Let us stay calm and cool.
Still have friends from EB2 2002/03 not gotten their GCs...
Patience is the key.
Election time....immigration issue has zero value
Nothing to stop CIS from repeating what happened this year. :mad:
Next Jul they will advance PDs to Jun 07 and then approve tons of 2007 PDs.
I can't even imagine the plight of the pre-2005 PDs. It makes me wanna throw up. :eek:

Also you could shoot up the small band market. Thats how I got started. I was managing bands then they asked me to build their websites. Go to a local club or venue on local band night and hand out your card.
The nice thing about bands is that are willing to push the limites on what one can do with flash and webdesign in general.

Hi,
I am currently holding L1 and B1 visa from a company A. Now some company B has applied for my H1 Visa. If I get H1b visa, does both L1 and B1 get cancelled.
Thanks.

I was told if you have valid stamping you do not need get new stamping even if you changed the employer. All you need is to give the new approval notice at the POE.
am I missing somthing here.
That is true, and I know a lot of people who did that including my wife in 2006.

I dont know what is your educational and experience background but please understand that it is very hard to get EB2 labor certified. It is not as easy as telling "I will start EB2 LC application"

Some where around December after completing Data Entry for all the AOS applications
Now that they have almost done with the receipts and most of the EAD and APs, they might consider starting the PP early next year.
