That happened to me too. My new I94 was valid from the approval date, and not the one we asked for. No, you were not out of status as your H1 extension was pending. You should not have issues with it.

um...but at the time my new employer offering me a position with an official offer letter, my current H1b status could be expired for over 3 to 4 months...(I am sure they want me to work for them since the partner there is my previous boss)
Shouldn't I take any action to protect my current H1b status???Like file a H1b transfer application which I know would definitely be rejected since I am unable to get a pay stub.
By the way, I didn't file I-140 or I-485 since my previous Labor Certificate is still in process for over 2 years (filed on July 2005)!!!Please consider these factors in my case~
Thank you guys~
Hello, guys, I really need your help~~
Is anybody here who could really analyse me situation???
Thank you so much~~

Delay and concerns about USCIS processing time updates
E-Mail Text
Dear [Name of your local representative]:
I am writing you in reference to the USCIS processing times updates on their web site at https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processTimesDisplay.do. Following are my concerns:
1. The last update on processing time was published on November 18, 2008. No update was made to the processing time since November 18, 2008.
2. There appears to be discrepancy between the dates the processing time is posted and the service center processing dates. Attached is the processing time report from November 18, 2008 for California Service Center, Nebraska Service Center, Texas Service Center, and Vermont Service center. Please notice the date processing time was posted was November 18, 2008 and the service center processing dates was given as of September 30, 2008.
I will appreciate if a corrective action is taken so that the processing times are published on time and the discrepancy between the date posted and service center processing date is addressed.
Thank you,
[Your Name]

I have filed for 140/485 EB3 on July 2nd. I am planning to start a EB2 process and carry over the EB3 Priority date to the new application. I have a few questions
1. My thinking is the process works something like this. I start a new PERM for EB2 while my EB3 140 is pending. After both the EB3 I140 and EB2 PERM are approved, I file for EB2 140 putting in a request to carry my old PD over. Is this correct?
2. Do I need to be with my GC sponsoring company until both EB3 140 and EB2 PERM are approved? If I use AC21 (after EB3 140 approval), will I still be able to interfile?
Thanks in advance
You cant use to port date after using AC21 ,your job responsiblities need to be same or of smiliar nature so u cant interfile as EB2 job responsiblities will differ. Porting of dates always carries risks more checks more documentations.

I don't know. It is just puzzling that some people got both while others only got one. What is the basis for approving AP?
Is there any basis needed for approving AP? Is it EAD ? If so my application is in deeps***. onceagain, is there anybody here with this kind of experience. Also since I already took infopass once, is there any use taking it again for my ead ?

I'm not from India, can I come ???
:confused:
Actually coming to India on a work visa is relatively easy. If you are serious, you could apply for a job in many Indian IT companies or BPO companies. I have read many news articles that Indian companies want to hire non-Indians, so that they can respond to many cultures effectively.
As far as living conditions and such. If you can manage in Chicago/NY/DC area, you would not find it difficult to manage in Bombay/Bangalore/Delhi. Actually violent crimes in India is much lower than that of many areas in the US. You can send your kid to school in India and expect him/her NOT to get shot in school.

I thought the "Freedom of Information Act" requires the federal goverment to disclose all data and procedure unless it is exempt by some other laws (list of super spies, for instance). Wouldn't it be possible to using this law to force them to disclose their numbers?
Is there any month by month ombudsman report? I was just thinking It doesn't have too much of use if they report AFTER the number is wasted....
Atlfp,
I have had several conversations with the staff of the CIS Ombudsman on this issue. Believe it or not, DOS has been resisting official efforts to release these figures. Just last week I also talked to the Office of Communications at USCIS about this issue -- no promises have been made but it is an on-going battle.
Also, if you are familiar with the tables in the Yearbook of Immigration Statistics -- those are aggregated tables -- this year (FY 05) for the first time there was a limited release that showed us EB subcategory approvals by country. Such data exists for every year and every table in the Yearbook of Immigration Statistics but is not released to the public -- why? Because the Yearbook tables have been done a certain way since kingdom come. We are also trying to change that.
So yes, we are trying, but it seems to me that it is not in the interest of an inefficient organization to cast light on the nature of its inefficiencies.
Will keep members posted on this.

Berkeleybee

These conversations are very good. In my experience recently one of my friend went on USA on H1B visa. On the time of stamping he faced some difficult in Chennai. But another friend got visa easily in Hyderabad. I think that for H1B visa Hyderabad is easy to get stamping.

You need an I-140 approval notice. If not, type in the receipt no on USCIS website and obtain the status update which will state that the petition is approved, and see if they accept it. I can't guarantee that that they will accept it., but I have used it in the past in another scenario (MTR) and they have accepted it.

Its part of a puzzle game.
She is posting one fraction of the question one site, other fractions on other site.
Now you have to assemble all pieces together and respond to her.
If you win, you get to date her. She is only looking for smart guys and this explains the plot :D
If you win, her husband will be after you...:D

I was on I-485 status on my EB3 application working on EAD. My I140 for Eb2 application got approved today while also requesting porting of priority date.
I believe USCIS would have automatically switched the 485 application to use the new EB2 I-140 instead of old EB3-I140
Now my question I am ready to renew my EAD. I wanted if there will be any problem with my EAD application since it is now transfered to an Eb2 position.
My pririty date is still not current....
EAD is based on a pending I-485, you should go ahead to renew your EAD (as you work in EAD, do not let it expire). Consult a lawyer, send additional documentation along with the package that you have done so-and-so transfer.

if say 50% of people in EB-2 quota do possess Master degree, do you think after STEM - the pressure on EB-2 visas will drastically reduced such that EB-2 will be current for all the countries??
all this calculation are possible, only if per country quota is eliminated.

Thanks, Elaine!
I have a follow-up question: Can the experience gained with the current Employer be used as basis for the EB2?
The cost varies, depending on the attorney fees and what advertising is done. Generally, it would probably cost $6000 - $12,000 for PERM. The employer must pay this, you cannot pay any of it.

I have a valid H-1B valid till 18th feb 2011 for employment with my previous employer. I had changed employment and now have I797C for the new employer valid till Nov 2011. I plan to go to India and be back in 1 week, my employer would issue me a leave approval letter. My present employer is a big hospital-non profit and I am a health professional.
Can some one tell if would need to get a new visa stamped if I come back by 15th January 2011. What documents should I carry. Should I talk to a lawyer before I leave. My mom is stable now but I am afraid If dont go now, I might not be able to gor a long time as I dont want to get re-stamping done.
Please advice
Just GO ....and stay for a longer time (atleast a month !!!)...r u a doctor or a nurse ..either way you are in a profession which will always be in demand
