Thanks so much RAM C.
I have one more question.. if possible could you please clarify this also for me..?
I don't know the procedure for obtaining SSN, but i gathered that I have to show my I-94 at the SSA office, along with passport and other ID's.
My I-94(at POE) and Visa stamping expired in 2006.
Got extension till 2007, and then got H1B, followed by EAD.
I haven't been outside the country, so my current valid I-94 is part of my H1 appoval notice...so do I have to show my H1 also?
Sorry.. for all the questions.. I tried to call the local office but couldn't get through...
THANK YOU
I REALLY appreciate your answers..
Yes that is true, you have to show your passport and I-94 and EAD
you should be fine if they ask about expired I-94 (with stamp) as you have an extension till 2007.
so to answer your question show H1 extension if they ask.
hope this helps.
Good Luck :)

Hi Friends,
Please read the below query and post any information you have. Thanks in advance for your help !
I have an appointment for H1 VISA re-stamping in Toronto, Canada in 2nd week of October
My current H1 VISA is valid until Nov 2006.
I am planning to get restmped based on my new H1 petition valid until Sep 2008.
The problem here is that my passport is valid only until Dec 2007.
In this case Can I get the new VISA stamped until Sep 2008?
On the website it says that "To be eligible for a VISA, you passport must be valid for at least 6 months past intended stay in the United States"
Please post your valuable replies.
Regards,
Krishna.
Yes you should get the Visa till 2008 - once passport is near expiry - get it renewed from indian consulate and later tag both passports together.

I am about to start my GC processing under EB3 category. I know my chances are extremely extremely slim. I am filing for GC hoping that CIR or some other bill to clear GC backlog passes.
My question is .. How much time would it take to clear all the pending GC cases once the bill is passed ?
I am assuming 2 years. Am I correct ?
I read somewhere on the internet that a similar situation arised in the past (may be year 2000 or 2001), and when a bill was passed to clear the backlog, after few months (for bill signing and other paperwork) everyone with I-140 approvals were eligible to apply for I-485.
Is the situation that exists today any different than it was in year 2000 or 2001 ?
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Here is my situation
Studied in US on F1 and directly started working for company A from 2002. Got a H1 stamp when out of country in 2003.
Since then moved to company B (in 2005) and H1 visa is now on the second three year term (valid till 2008) . Am on the verge of moving to company C. Will be out of the country all of april and had a few questions
1) Do I need to have stamp on my passport when I switch between F1 and H1only or do I need the stamp even if I have switched firms since the last time I got my passport stamped
2) What happens if I get the stamp say on H1 on 1st April (while on payroll of company B), quit company B (while outside US) and join company C and then return to US in last week of April without getting another stamp. Will I face any issues when reentering USA (given that the stamp is for company B even though I don't work for it anymore) or do I need the accurate stamp when coming to USA?
Your help will be deeply appreciated
Thanks

It's like the USCIS and employers ganging up against you to make sure that you can't change employer without having to start everything all over again. Is that really fair? Well.. who said life is fair. :)
That pretty much covers our current situation :( ... EB immigration is driven by corporate interest and obviously it is geared to benefit them to the maximum extent possible.

Hello All,
I heard from my employer that many people who are visiting India for H1B Stamping are getting stuck with 221G query. My company lawyers have suggested us to cancel or postpone all the travel plans to India.
Did any of you have any recent stamping experience at Mumbai Consulate? I would appreciate if you can share it on this forum.
Thanks,
GreenMe

According to current visa bulletttin, EB2 -INDIA is 15 FEB 04.
Your profile shows your PD DEC. 2005.
How you got the GC, when the PD is not current?
If my mistake, you need to contact USCIS, otherwise they can find out the mistake and revoke any time.
Not necessarily. USCIS works in a magical way. They might allot a number when the dates were current and work on the application leisurely and approve it after a while.
(btw, this is purely based on info from different forums and I don't have any clue (neither USCIS :) of how they work)

We were talking about taxes at work and someone mentioned that all bank accounts in home country should be reported to IRS. I opened a bank account(NRE) in India before I came to US and get minimal interest income from it. Should I be declaring the income to IRS? The income is so low that I don't have to declare it in India so I didn't bother. I do not have a green card (am on H1B). Can you confirm if I am supposed to provide this info in tax returns. I did do some research on this and from news articles it seems like what my colleague mentioned is true. How do I go about providing all the info now? Is this going to impact my GC process?

OP says 'My Green Card gets approved today, while my wife and son's stays pending.'
His GC approved. Waiting for card. Do you read some thing else?
If he want to ask hypothetical question, he is a stupid to start a thread.
I thought the OP was making a case for getting his question answered.. that doesn't mean the case is necessarily true now.
And I think if you read further down, the op himself said he didn't get his GC yet, but his question was "what if?"...... guys read before you post ;)

I completely understand that nothing is ever going to happen in favor of legal immigrants. However, when I saw what really the dream act meant to do, I just thought we should get some senators involved and aware of the plight about the kids of the legal community too. One of my friend has 2 kids and he has been waiting now for over 6 years every single day of that in perfect legal status. what wrong did the kids do? why dont they compare equal to the ilegal kids who are going to be blessed by this bill if it is passed. I am sure IV might not have enough will for this since many of the leaders might not have kids but atleast look at others who have kids and always face the dreaded scenario of having to uproot them from their schools/friendships in case of immigration-related issues.

Hi,
Anybody recently filed PIO through Travisa at DC embassy, please share your experience. I sent the application for my 1 and a half month daughter who is born here, and planning to travel to India in June. I would like to know how long does it take if the documentation is correct and is there any tracking system to know the status.

At this point no one knows answers to you questions. We have to wait and we will see. Ultimately, USCIS could avoid lots of headaches by accepting all July applications and issuing a new bulletin for August...but we don't know, and nobody knows what will eventually happen.
There is no way USCIS can accept July applications. They said there is no visa available for FY-2007. Now how they will accept more applications? Basis on what? If they accept applications that means they had enough visa available but they did not want to process in which case the a law suit is imminent.

Why do we need a transit visa if we are just passing by the airport( I know UK has this rule). Can someone please share if we really need the transit visa. I am travelling on next week to Chennai via Frankfurt.
If you have a valid (unexpired) US visa and traveling, to OR from US, to any country via Germany, then you DON'T need a transit Visa.
If you are traveling on AP, you need transit visa via Germany.
Quote from the German Mission web site:
Nationals of the following countries are required to be in possession of an airport transit visa when passing through the international transit area of airports in Germany:
AFGHANISTAN, BANGLADESH, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO, ERITREA, ETHIOPIA, GHANA, INDIA, IRAN, IRAQ, JORDAN ** (please see below), LEBANON, MYANMAR, NIGERIA, PAKISTAN, SOMALIA, SRI LANKA, SUDAN, SYRIA, TURKEY
Exceptions: Nationals from the above list are entitled to transit through the international transit zones without an airport transit visa:
1. If they hold a valid visa for the United States of America
2. If they return from the USA after having used the visa
3. If they hold one of the following residence permits:
* Form I-551 permanent resident card (valid for 2 to 10 years),
* Form I-551 Alien registration receipt card (valid for 2 to 10 years),
* Form I-551 Alien registration receipt card (no expiry date),
* Form I-327 Re-entry document (valid for two years — issued to holders of a I-551),
* Resident alien card (valid for 2 or 10 years or no expiry date. This document guarantees the holder’s return only if his stay outside the USA has not exceeded one year),
* Permit to re-enter (valid for two years. This document guarantees the holder’s return only if his stay outside the USA has not exceeded two years),
* Valid temporary residence stamp in a valid passport (valid for one year from the date of issue).

Thanks for the response raysaikat... the above information is definitely very helpful for me.
As i understand from your response i will not be subject to cap again if i plan to move from company B (cap-exempt) to company C(non-cap-exempt) as i was already counted once under cap.
If you do that within 6 years from the first time you went into H1-B status (i.e., from the time your H1-B clock started ticking), then yes.
However i also want to know when i plan to move from B to C in future, Although C will file a new H1-B petition, can this petition be filed any time during the year?
If you do that within 6 years from the first time you went into H1-B status (i.e., from the time your H1-B clock started ticking), then yes -- the employer can file the petition anytime of the year.
And if approved can i start to work immediately without a gap?
Please advise.
Thanks Yes. Actually you would be able to start working as soon as the employer got acknowledgement of receipt from USCIS --- you would not have to wait for the actual approval as you were already on H1-B.
