I am in a complicated situation...
Approved labor (PD 2003 EB2) from company A (not employed with them). Filed 140 and 485 (self as primary and wife as dependent). Ability to pay RFE on 140 and then denial on 140 and 485. Currently, appealed the decision because needed to get H1 extension and case has reopened. My wife (with company B) had her 140 approved (EB3 with PD 2006) and so after the July bulletin filed for 485 (her as primary and me as dependent) because my case seeemed a little dicy.
So we both have multiple 485's filed (although the first one since the decision is not final on 140 technically they might not have started considering the 485). Read multiple places that legally you can have only one 485 approved but could have multiple 485 pending and withdraw the other once anyone has been approved. Is this true? or you CANNOT even have two 485 pending?What is the best thing for me do do right now?

hi,
My spouse got her GC in Sep/2000 filed by her parents. Then went back to India to continue studies with 2 yr permission from INS. Return to US after 2 yr and stayed for 8 months in US and then took trip again back to India for 7 months. And then return back in May/2004 and still here since then.
Outline:
Got GC -- Sep/2000
out of US (Nov/2000 - Oct/2002) with permission from INS or USCIS.
Return to US -- Nov/2002
Stayed 10 months in US
Trip to India --- Sep/2003 (for 7 months)
Return to US -- April/2004
Since April / 2004 here in US.
based on this stasts we my spouse apply for citizenship.
USCIS work sheet eligibility says >> 5 yr GC ->> If not out for 30 months in last 5 yr (true) >> No trip out side of US more then 1 yr. (FALSE - If so execpetion -- took permission - true) >> good moral >> etc., >> APPLY FOR CITIZENSHIP.
But when read the eligi. requir. its says absence more then 1 yr cancel all previous contin. of stay ??? confused with this both understanding.....
Thanks in Advanace !!

In the last few days there is little news/action about STRIVE act. When this act was proposed all of us got excited and promised to each other to do everything to make it a success. Some of us did make phone calls to lawmakers (as per IV directions) but after that everything seems cooled down. Why are we losing our focus now?
Yes the new Senate bill S.1035 (tightening H1B program) might have put some doubts in our minds; but can we continue our efforts on STRIVE and deal with S.1035 thru amendments when it comes to discussion. Discussion about S.1035 on our forum is fine and in fact we might have to do that to figure out how bad/good it is our specific issues. But in the meantime we have to continue our efforts on STRIVE act too.

The next step was to schedule a meeting with our lawmakers. Many people are doing that. Did you try doing that?
In addition, today President Bush renewed call for immigration reform. Things will happen before the Summer break.

My labour was filed for a software engineer position (java, udb, etc) 3 years ago. Over that time, my role has changed to a project manager. Infact I don't do any coding anymore. If I invoke AC21 after 180 days, can I switch to a Project Manager position?

Moderators, please delete this if you want. I am re-posting as a new thread simply because the other thread seems to be closed.
I was pleasantly surprised, although looking back at it, this was going to happen. The Indian media would have immediately tried to cash in on the news and interview the people associated with the movie.
Nevertheless, this is good news, and I wonder if we should try to capitalize on it. How?
If IV can get "IV merchandise" (T shirts, caps, etc) signed by a Boman Irani or a Rajkumar Hirani (and perhaps also embossed with a standard message that we all included with the flowers), and put it up for sale (on ebay etc), it might help to
1. spread the word on this issue
2. raise money for IV!
What do you think? Is this feasible? If it is, we should go for it as nothing matches Bollywood when it comes to spreading a message.

Hi,
Have a question on EAD/H1b. I am joining a new company using AC21 and EAD. Lets say after few months if INS denies my GC application then will I be able to transfer my h1b. Basically I got the info that I can re-capture my unused period of H1b out of 6 years. Is that true ?
Thanks.
I don't know if the following information is applicable if the GC is denied.
Last year, my friend started working on an EAD (after his H-1B visa expired). Unfortunately, he did not get his renewal EAD in hand before the expiry of the current EAD, so the lawyer submitted a H-1B petition to use the unused portion (India vacations for him, but basically any time when you were outside the US) from his old H-1B so my friend could continue working. If I remember well, it was applied under Premium Processing, but I know for sure that it definitely came through. But so did his EAD card...on the day his current EAD expired.
Again, I want to reiterate that I don't know how the above scenario plays out if the GC is denied, so do check with a lawyer.
Regards,
Jayant

There should not be any issues changing the employer after 180 days. This would include proper way of resigning the company so that they don't do anything which will affect your green card.
There are lot of response on this and you should check those.

Hi Every one,
I'm on OPT right now ,i'm done with my masters in DEC 2007.
My visa Stamp in my passport was only untill april 2008(I got F1 stamped only for 24 months), now i'm on OPT extension.I applied H1B in 2008 and got RFE my employer could not answer the RFE and revoked my petition.
I did't apply in 2009 even i have chance to apply(because of the JOB fear ) i got my OPT extension approved ,my OPT extension is going to end in June 2010 , any way i will be applying H1B in 2010.
My question is if i don't get H1B in 2010 ,my plan i to take CPT and search for jobs ,does it effects my future immigration any way.
Thanks in advance for every one.

There are lot of discussions about this issue, and there seem to be mixed opinions so far. it may not be a bad idea to check with your lawyer, and post your findings to the group. AFAIK, it is possible to file multiple I-485 but interim benefits should be tied to only one.

Hi,
I was among those randomly selected for further processing in the Diversity Immigrant Visa (DV) program for the fiscal year 2010. Since I currently reside in the U.S., I filed Form I-485 ("Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status"). Upon having my biometrics taken, I had an interview with an Immigration Service Officer at a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office. Because of a misunderstanding, I failed to bring to this interview an original Form I-134 ("Affidavit of Support") from a sponsor. Please note that my parents and sibling recently became U.S. citizens and are willing and able to be sponsors.
At the end of the interview, I asked the Immigration Service Officer if I can provide Form I-134 after the fact and he answered no. He made it sound as though a person gets only one chance at an interview with an Immigration Service Officer. He gave me a sheet of paper that had the following ticked off:
"Your case is being held for file review to prepare a decision. You will be advised by mail as to a decision on your application. No additional information is necessary from you at this time, however, if upon further review, additional information or evidence is required, you will receive notice in the mail. Please respond to any request in a timely manner. Failure to do so will result in denial of your application Please allow 60 days from today's date before making an inquiry on your case."
Questions:
1. Is there a way I can provide Form I-134 after the fact? If so, how?
2. If my application is denied, can I appeal the decision? If so, what are the chances of winning such an appeal and still finish adjusting my status before the DV program for fiscal year 2010 ends?
Thank you in advance for all your time and assistance.
Best,
LostAndScared

I'm on currently on H1b (NO EAD). I'm applying for another job with a different company and came across the below question in thier Job Application. I don't know if the other company is willing to transfer my H1, but I would like to apply and prove myself in the interview.
If hired, can you submit verification of your legal right to work in the U.S.?
Should the answer be YES or NO? Can my current H1 be used as a proof of legal right to work???
I'm also required to acknowledge the below statement as part of the application.
I am aware that, as a condition of employment, if employment is offered, I must be authorized to work in the U.S. and demonstrate that authorization as required by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.
Appreciate if anyone of you can clarify this.
Thanks

at port of entry the old I-94 has no bearing, keep cpies of all old I-94s and hand them over when departing.
You will have to get a new H4 stamped at the consulate and will get a new I-94 when you enter.
You can present the courtsey copy but the main documents ae going to be your husbands H1 papers as were last time.

My mother came for a 6 months visit on December 10th of 2010. But she left in April of 2011 (April 9th 2011), two months short of her 6 month's stay. Can she come again in August 2011 for a six month's stay, and stay till Feb 2012? Or will she have to return in 2 months? (return by October 2011)
My mother has 10 year multiple entry visa.
I heard that a visitor can stay only 6 months in a year, is it true?
If yes, is the calendar year counted from January to december?
Thanks in advance!

My wife got her h1B stamping done on 2/2/10 at Delhi embassy. It was smooth and they asked for 797 and the passport and then asked what her company does and what her spouse does( as she changed her status from H4 to F1 to H1B). that's all.

Guys,
I need your advice in this Regard. My wife is currently on an H-4 Visa (valid until June 2009) and she got her H1 petition approved yesterday. While applying for her H1 this Apr 2008 she was not in USA as she was in India at that time (she went to India for 4 months Feb-June 08). My questions are as below (in Bold)
1. I believe she should go to a US Consulate (we are thinking of going to Canada as we are Canadian Immigrants) before Oct 1, 2008 as she was not physically present in US when her H1 was being filed (correct me if I am wrong here)
2. She is planning to go to the US consulate in Vancouver in Sep 08 to get her H1 Stamped. So let�s say she goes on sep 3rd to attend the Visa Interview and gets her H1 stamped, when does the H1 visa validity actually start?
2a. Will the H1 visa validity start right away or in the last week of Sep? (I am guessing last week of sep..correct me if I am wrong)
2b. Will they cancel her existing H4 visa right away as they issued her a H1?
The reason I ask this, if her Visa Validity starts at the end of Sep can she come back to US on her existing H4 after she attends the H1 interview in the first week of sep.
3. I read in a previous post here that while your H1 processing is going on it is not advisable to travel out of US with H1 receipt number and no approval. As stated above my wife did travel from Feb 08 (before the H1 was filed in Apr 08) to June 08. We got the H1 B approval on July 27, 2008. So does this hamper her chances for getting her Visa Stamped when attending her Visa Interview in Vancouver?
4. Does anyone know how long the Visa Processing Times in Vancouver is?
Can the gurus or people who have faced similar situation please answer my queries above as I need to do the necessary ASAP.
Sorry if these questions are being repetitive as I was not able to find the relevant thread for my answers.
Thanks in Advance!!!
