Hi,
I am planning to visit India next month. I will transit thru Dubai in Emirates Airlines from West Coast. My 485 is pending and have valid AP and EAD. I have expired H1B visa stamp in my passport.
Did anyone use AP in this route?. Will I have any issues with Emirates Airlines and during transit in Dubai using Advane Parole?.
Please someone help me.
Thanks
Ram

1. NOW, if you are switching to company B. Company A may want to request extension only from Nov 2010, so for that the earliest is June 2010.
2. You can file H1B extension on company B based on your approved & valid 140 in company A.
3. Not necessarily. At any time, whenever you file extension, the criteria is checked again. Means if the 140 is revoked after getting 3 year extension, then the next H1 filing will get rejected, since you don't have a pending 140 anymore. So the answer is, it depends on whether you have a pending/valid LC/140 at that time.
My 6 years on H1b expires on Nov 2010. I have 140 approved from company A.
1.What's the earliest I can apply for 3 year H1b extension based on my 140 approval?
2. If I switch to company B right now and get company B to file for labor using my approved labor's priority date, are there any time restrictions for filing H1b extension?
3. Suppose I get a 3 yr H1b extension from company A, can i switch to different company after that using that H1b visa?
Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.

I have applied for H1B transfer and here is my situation.
H1B expiration date with ex employer was 06/10/2010 and I transferred the H1B to a new employer on 06/01/2010 and the approval came on 08/09/2010. However the approval notice says the validity date is from 08/02/2010 to 08/01/2011. It should have been 06/11/2010 because we filed this transfer before the expiration date.
We sent an inquiry but the officer was saying the application was submitted based on new employment and not continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer, so we will not change our decision.
What should I do? I think I was out of status from 06/11 to 08/01. Does anyone have any information?

Dear all:
May I ask what I should do in the following situation?
I hold F1 visa and my new job starts on Sept 1. The int'l student office of my current university mistakenly set my OPT start date on May 6. My OPT has been approved and EAD card arrived.
That is, I will have 120-plus "unemployment" days accumulated by early August, which will then violate the "90-day unemployment rule" of OPT.
I am under tremendous pressure and really want to hear your opinions.
Many thanks in advance!
ISO is the one which updates the SEVIS database. Since you claim its their mistake, you should approach them for advise on this as well. I have heard that voluntary work (no pay) in your field of study can help you to maintain your status and not count days towards the 90 day unemployment rule. If true, you can pursue that option as well till your job starts on Sep 1.

I like to change my employer with my pending labor with my current employer. Last year my current employer did 1 yr extension based on pending labor. Still my current employer didn't receive 45 days Notice. But I don't have any info. about my labor. I know only priority date and USPS mail confirmation (when it reached labor dept). I sent 2 mail to H1B7YR@PHI.DFLC.US to get screen shot. But i didn't get any response.
Can you pls help is there any other source to get Labor info.? Since without this labor info. my new employer can't transfer my H1B.
Please help and share your experience ASAP.

Thanks for replying back. I dont think we would need a change in legislaturel for USCIS to start accepting i-485 applications, when the PD's are not current. I'm sure there must be a way we are just not thinking differently. If we were talking about getting the GC, then yes we would need a change in the legislative process via or bill and so the hopes from CIR. Currently EAD does not mandate a need to prove an employer-employee relationship during renewal or issuance as in the case of a H-1B application.

Hi
I just came across the News about Donations by Indian Legal Immigrant to the US hospital. Link is given below
timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/822912.cms?headline=NRI~donates~$30~million~to~US~ hospital (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/822912.cms?headline=NRI~donates~$30~million~to~US~ hospital)"]
I am sure there are several other legal immigrants donations to the US hospitals, Colleges and Universities etc.
I am sure that if we can link those all in one thread and later on can be compiled by IV to make strong point that Legal immigrant apart from generating lots of jobs and economical growth for US also contribute generously to various progressive causes, by the wealth that they make because of their creative mind and skills.
On other hand there is a debate about undocumented workers relying on the US tax payers resources.

Hi. I am currently here in the US applying for AOS from a B2 to F1 visa. I sent my application on the 26th April with USPS Express mail request return reciept. My current 1 94 expired on April 28th. My return receipt from USPS says that my item was signed for on April 28th leaving me still in status but when I received my I 797 C it says that the receipt date is April 29th. I am very worried and I am wondering if this is something I should call their customer services department about. I do not want my application denied simply because I may seem not to be in status. Please help, I am very worried.

InThemoment is right. I got I-134 from my attorney for 485 filing..
Oldmonk,
That is good information, thanks. Just one question:
- Was the I-134 part of your I-485 application, or was it part of your dependent's?
I am asking this because there is no instruction regarding such an affidavit in the Initial evidence section of the I-485.
Thanks, will appreciate your response.

Sen. Patrick Leahy ( D-Vermont ) introduced the Uniting American Families Act ( S. 424 ) earlier this year; it has 18 co-sponsors. The bill would allow same sex couples the same immigration rights as married heterosexual couples. Passage of the bill is likely to be tied to overall immigration reform.
At the moment, same-sex partners of legal immigrants do not have the same rights to dependent status that heterosexual spouses get. This is true even if the couple is legally married in their home country. Often, the "dependent" partner must apply for a B-2 visitor visa at the consulate, to accompany his/her partner. This visa is discretionary, and consulates could refuse to issue it. In addition, B-2 status does not allow the dependent partner to work in the US. Many heterosexual dependent spouses have a status that doesn't allow them to work either, however.
As the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/03/us/politics/03immig.html) reports:
Senator Leahy�s bill would add the term �permanent partner� to sections of current immigration law that refer to married couples, and would provide a legal definition of those terms.
�I just think it�s a matter of fairness,� he said Tuesday in an interview, noting that a number of American allies, including Canada, France and Germany, recognize same-sex couples in immigration law. Photo by http://www.flickr.com/photos/boscobridalexpos/

I am on H1b and work for a desi consultancy company. My project with a client ended some time ago and due to bad market, I have been so far, unable to get onto another project. Now my employer is asking me to go back to my country for some time as I dont have a project in hand. I am worried that this may result in canceling of my H1b visa. However, employer is trying to assure me that he won't cancel it. I am wondering has anybody (somebody you know) been in this kind of situation. FWIW, I do have an american undergrad degree and have been living here legally and lawfully for past nine years.

AFAIK those who filed after July 30, 2007 filed with the new fee, and do not have to pay the fee for the EAD. However you can't e-file, but have to send in your paper application form.

I did my 7 th year visa transfer this year and again it took more than 2 months then nothing happened later I went for premium processing because my wife's H4 stamping date was coming closure. I guess usually it takes 2-3 months for transfering visa. Mine was Nebraska Service center. Again this year I am going for 8th year extension. Good luck for your visa transfer. Just relax and wait for USCIS reply on ur application.

Hello all,
My EAD expired in late April
Prior to that, I applied for renewal but my old lawyer forgot to either include something with the application or made a typo, and it bounced back a few days ago (late May).
I got a new laywer to re-file the EAD, however I will not get my new one in time to start my post-college job in early July, as the process takes around 90 days from what I remember.
If I show up to the first day with a filing receipt, a written letter from the new lawyer explaining what happened, and my old EAD, will I not get the job?
How do employers handle something like this?
Thank you in advance for any help.
