Hi everyone:
I'd appreciate if someone could give me an advice here. I am currently on the 6th year of H1B. It is expiring on Jan 31, 2008. Technically I will need a 7th year extension. My Labor Certification for Green Card (EB2, PD: Dec, 2002) was approved back in July, 07 and I filed I-140 and I-485 concurrently in the end of July. So far I have not received a receipt or anything back from them.
What shall I do in this situation -- can I apply for H1B extension now? Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks for all the information. Mine and my spouse's I-140 was approved 2 years ago. So, I guess I can apply for my EAD and live in this country legally.
This is the feeling I got reading from different forums for few months, as soon as your employer revokes your H1B, it might trigger a RFE from USCIS asking for all details and your employment. It will be difficult for you to deal with such a situation unless you immediately find another prospective employer. It is better to apply for EAD while on H1b beased on pending I-485.

anyone having inputs to the query below:
Adding to the scenario above, what if the old company (which got I-140 approval) agress to continue the GC process? In that case, can't we apply for H1 extension with Company B using approved I-140 with Company A? After all, GC is a future employment application

What if 6 months are left before my 6 years of H1B expires? Can I still get 3 years extension based on approved I-140 from another company?
I think you can get the extension with new company too. While applying for the transfer request extension upto Feb 2010. You might have to provide the I140 approval again to prove that you are eligible for 3-year extension.
I think you can join the company immediately. To be in safe side you can apply for transfer in premium.
As you might be aware there is no such thing as H1B transfer - every h1b application is a new one for that company and you as beneficeiry. So when applying for H1B with new company - you have to provide evidence that you are eligible for the H1B. The evidence is to show you are already on H1B (so that you are not subject to annual cap); and that you have enough time on H1B if you already completed 6 years then evidence to prove that you are eligible for further extension of h1b. So in short yes you can get 3 years with new employer. (NOTE: I am not lawyer this is my understanding based on various sources; I am also considering moving after my i140 is approved).

Hi
In my case, I used AP to enter US last year on oct 22 08. I-94 has a date of oct 21 09 so does the parole stamp. My AP has expired in Jan 09. I am NOT planing to go out.
My question is what do I have to do after I-94 date of oct 21 09 is past. Will it make me out of status?
Thank you in advance.

I took infopass to clarify my situation with 2 I-485, different A#, and one I-140.
The IO verified and told me that both Apps have been merged and keying in either A# has brought back both Appslications. There was a LUD few weeks before I took infopass. I think it may have been because of merge.

For those who think that this is good and will not affect them -
What we are hearing now in the news is just the tip of the iceberg. It is just ground work to justify tougher measures against employment based immigration. If it continues, CIR will be passed giving path to citizenship to ILLEGAL immigrants without any measure for employment based immigration. Remember, the only folks who have been in influential position to support EB immigration has been big businesses (like Microsoft, Oracle) and AILA. With the rising unemployment rate, nobody will listen to these businesses. With the indictment of (even a few) cases of H-1B fraud, AILA will not be able to fight the impending tsunami against legal employment based immigrants.
If we don't do anything illegals will be citizens while people with H-1 and even EAD will be forced to go back.
Can't agree more. This is how it starts - Divide and Rule. First it was the TARP recipients only. Next will IT companies. Then it will be EAD and maybe finally the Green Cards.

geesee_99, listen to Rajiv Khanna's call on Nov 29. You can find it in the recordings section on his website.
http://www.immigration.com/improving_immigration/conference_calls.html
After around 10 mins in this call, he answered a question where a guy said that his 140 and 485 were pending and recently the 140 got rejected. Rajiv told him that he could file another 140 and interfile it with 485 to save his 485. So you might want to consult a lawyer and save your 485.

Please see page 8-10 of the I765 form instructions for more information. It is clearly written that it has to go where your area falls under for the (c) 9 category.
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf
If you are in Boston, it should go to TSC irrespective of which center your 485 is pending.

This is a good thing.
These consulting companies who were abusing the visa will be taught a lesson.
People used to complain a lot about desi companies and now when USCIS has finally become tough they are complaining about it.
You cannot have it both ways.
The same RFE is also being issued to companies like Accenture, Deloitte and IBM consulting as long as the keyword "technology services" appears in the petition. How about that? This is not 2nd or 3rd hand news, but the couple of guys and a girl sitting in the cubicles adjacent to mine who work for Deloitte got the same standard RFE. Heck, you can't call them "cheap" labor as most of them drive Beemers or Audis and one of them also has a Masters from Caltech (probably better qualified than you or me Mr. Teli or any of the USCs we have working at the company :rolleyes:)

Yes
No. You will need new visa stamp.
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.

Strange, I'm not able to replicate the problem. All I can think of is that your mouse has lost focus on the SWF, perhaps due to the over-vigorous motion beforehand? Try clicking on the SWF to regain focus and see if slow moments work for you again.

Option 1 - Take Travel Insurance for 15 days. For young folks that is not pricey and covers emergencies.
Option 2 - Just ignore....It is a matter of 15 days. Insurance is good, desirable, and highly recommended......but it is not something that deserves too much worry for 15 days for any healthy person.
