I have my H1-stamping and I-94 valid until March 07, My H1 extension was applied during Nov - 06, but not approved yet....In the mean while, can I visit India and return by Feb 07 ? On my return, I will still get my I-94 till March 07, but Once my H1 extension is approved it will have the I-94 attached to it till Mar 08, is this I-94 valid ?
My employer is saying that, the new I-94 that I got from my H1-extension is not valid and they have to file a new H1 OR I have to convert the H1 extension to Premium and travel with the approved H1 extension ?
Please advise. Thanks

The American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA), imposes annual reporting requirements on U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) concerning the countries of origin and occupations of, educational levels attained by, and compensation paid to, aliens who were issued visas or otherwise provided nonimmigrant status under H1B Visas (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) during the previous fiscal year.
Here are some highlights from the report submitted by USCIS earlier this year:
� The number of H-l B petitions (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) filed decreased 15 percent from 288,764 in Fiscal Year
2008 to 246,647 in Fiscal Year 2009.
� The number of H1B petitions approved decreased 22 percent from 276,252 in Fiscal
Year 2008 to 214,271 in Fiscal Year 2009.
� Approximately 48 percent of all H1B petitions approved in Fiscal Year 2009 were for
workers born in India.
� Two-thirds of H1B petitions approved in Fiscal Year 2009 were for workers between the
ages of25 and 34.
� Forty-one percent of H1B petitions approved in Fiscal Year 2009 were for workers with
a bachelor's degree, 40 percent had a master's degree, 13 percent had a doctorate, and 6
percent were for workers with a professional degree.
� About 41 percent of H1B petitions approved in Fiscal Year 2009 were for workers in
computer-related occupations.
� The median salary of beneficiaries of approved petitions increased to $64,000 in Fiscal
Year 2009, $4,000 more than in Fiscal Year 2008.
Pretty interesting information, we hope that things will improve as our economy continues to recover.

This obviously depends on the reason it was refurbished, but I would expect that most refurb cameras are warranty returns that have been fixed of whatever the warranty problem was. Since the repair would replace the failed part, it would be fair to say that they are at least as good as the original one (and if it's a "common problem part" then it's even likely that a new, better part has replaced the faulty part, which would make it BETTER than the original one).
And obviously, with consideration for the reputation of the company, I would expect that Nikon doesn't sell refurbished cameras that have any notable faults (scrapes, scratches, dust, etc) - if the damage isn't in an easy to replace part, the camera is probably used for scrap parts for other repair projects, or just destroyed.
Of course, I would check what the terms and conditions for returns, refunds and warranty is - are you paying less because you get less warranty, or simply because it has 10 or 100 exposures on the "clock", or because you get less warranty or other rights to complain?
