I work for company A which is pretty stable,on a H1b visa. I've no problems except that you will not find another horrible boss anywhere. Trust me, I've worked in quite some places and I've seen pretty bad bosses, but with this guy, you have someone who will always make you look bad and will literally shout at you. I've had enough and I want to switch.
I've around 3 yrs left on h1. The new company will sponsor my H1b and they will start my GC on the first week of my starting. (the person hiring me is a good friend)
The question I have is, what happens to the h1 that company A is holding when I transfer to Company B . There might be a reason company A's CTO might not want me to leave. He also cannot do anything about my boss at this point. It gets little complex at this point, but I want to know if i can work part time on h1b for company A while I work as full time for company B.

Sorry for the big post and thanks for your help.

If you're already eligible to use AC21, then I see no problem working as consultant as long as it is of the same job category as your LC. ATP and location does not matter anymore.

I came in 2003 on an H4 visa with my parents who were on H1B, I was 17 yrs old at that time. I then got my status changed to an F1 in 2004. I completed my bachelors and have been accepted into a masters program on a scholarship. I wanted to visit India, however I would like to know the risk involved in doing so. Would I still be at risk of not getting a f1 VISA in India even if I carry my approved F1 petition? Please advise..Thanks..

Tragic. But how on earth is this related to us???

If you have to open new threads, at least check if it is relevant.

Refugees from Sudan have a tough time with USCIS, let alone people from other nations. Refugees from Sudan have a tough time. Period. It is sad, and we should do what we can to help those less fortunate than us. Again, period. No ifs and buts about it. But is this the right forum, or even the right website?

There is plenty of clutter on these forums.. (And frustratingly, it has spiked a lot in the last week or so). Please do not add to it.

Folks,

I know this may be a little of topic but just bear with me. I am simply looking at alternatives in case the GC does not pull through. Does any one over here have any experiences living and working in the Middle east ? I just read an article about Saudi Arabia's economy dealing with record unemployment. They are in the process of taking jobs away from foreigners and giving it to the locals.

Where do we go to look for jobs in the Middle east. Any advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated. I'm praying my GC does finally pull through.

Thanks!

I had a brief encounter with this intelligent and lovely young lady in 2006 when I visited UCLA to assist foreign-born students in finding solutions to their immigration problems. Each of the students told me his or her story. Most shared the following themes: They were born in other countries and brought to the U.S. as toddlers. They grew up believing that they were born in the U.S. and that if they studied hard and got good grades,...

While taking a VISA appointment , there is a question which says "Are you applying for same visa class that expired in the last 12 months?"

Here are my doubts

1. I had a H1 B VISA which expired in May 2007 processed by my previous employer. As I am applying for the same VISA class , but though a differnt employer, should the answer be 'YES'?

2. Since my daughter will be appearing for the H4 VISA interview for the FIRST TIME, Is she also eligible to come along with me if I choose "YES" to the question "Are you applying for same visa class that expired in the last 12 months?".

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have been noticing on .com that even after the mess-ups in Aug 08 when similar visa bulletin came out and uscis approved lots of cases from 06 ignoring people from 04 and 05, they are not approving cases in pd order even now (well not like before but still bad). I mean how can they approve sep 05 cases before all 03/2005 cases are approved especially if they are all pre-adj and ready (atleast most are). Even though technically anyone until oct 1, 2005 is eligible for visa number, Shouldn't they go in order? This is very unfair given you don't know when they might run out of numbers and TSC is snail paced doing 3-6 approvals a day atmost while NSC is doing tons a day :) Any comments?

This evening, I watched a debate on television between a proponent and an opponent of comprehensive immigration reform (CIR). The proponent emphasized that we need CIR not for the benefit of the undocumented but because it would stimulate the American economy. The opponent said that this amounted to "open borders" and that our immigration system was already generous enough in the eyes of most Americans. After the debate, I got to thinking about how different this type of debate is from the daily travails of immigrants. In our complex immigration system, the problems are not necessarily black and white, but...

I received a RFE on 485 for a updated G-325 form and a Employment letter stating the Job details, Salary and if the Immigrant visa petition(labor certification) terms still exist. Iam a Jul,2007 filer, I have another 12 days to respond, this RFE was received by the company attorney. Now neither Employer/Company Attorney are responding to Phone calls/Emails regarding responding this to RFE. I do not understand what is their concern but came to know that few others from the same company got RFE on 485. Time is running out and if there is no response to the RFE, eventually the case will be denied. What are my options, Iam in my 4th year of my H1. I have a Valid EAD till Nov'2010 and H1 valid till Aug'2011. What will be my status if the 485 gets denied. Can I transfer the H1 to another employer and will need to start the GC process all over again ?
Any advice suggestions appreciated.

The processing of this case has been delayed. A check of our records establishes that this case is not yet ready for decision, as the required investigation into the applicant background remains open.

Until the background investigation is completed, we cannot move forward on this case. These background checks are required to be completed on all applicants who apply for the immigration benefit they are seeking. We will make every effort to make a decision on this case as soon as the background checks are complete.

Thank you for your inquiry and please do not hesitate to contact us again if you have further questions regarding this case.

You can shift to new employer and start the GC process again. The approved I-140 is useful to retain the PD if not revoked. Otherwise no use.

I know ability to pay issue is analyzed at I-140 stage, but the ability to pay the proffered wage begins at priority date and ends at the time I-485 is approved.

After I-140 approval, could be ability to pay examined again?

I read that someone went to an interview and was asked for sponsor company's taxes in order to check if the company still had ability to pay the salary.

Would be possible an RFE asking for updated financials of the company?

Thank you.

I have done one FP initially when my Case was filed.Its been long since the validity of that FP has lapsed. Should i be expecting another FP notice??
Is fresh FP notice being sent to all those whose FP validity has expired? or are they doing that in a random manner ??

Bet on India (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/28/AR2007072800999.html) The Bush administration presses forward with a nuclear agreement -- and hopes for a strategic partnership. July 29, 2007

IN LARGE PART, modern U.S. nuclear nonproliferation policy began with India. India received U.S. aid under the "Atoms for Peace" program of the early Cold War era -- only to lose its U.S. fuel supply because India, which had refused to sign the 1968 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), exploded a nuclear "device" in 1974. Decades of U.S. noncooperation with India's civilian atomic energy program were intended to teach India, and the world, a lesson: You will not prosper if you go nuclear outside the system of international safeguards.

Friday marked another step toward the end of that policy -- also with India. The Bush administration and New Delhi announced the principles by which the United States will resume sales of civilian nuclear fuel and technology to India, as promised by President Bush in July 2005. The fine print of the agreement, which must still be approved by the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group and by Congress, has not yet been released. But the big picture is clear: The administration is betting that the benefits to the United States and the world of a "strategic partnership" with India outweigh the risks of a giant exception to the old rules of the nonproliferation game.

There are good reasons to make the bet. India is a booming democracy of more than 1 billion people, clearly destined to play a growing role on the world stage. It can help the United States as a trading partner and as a strategic counterweight to China and Islamic extremists. If India uses more nuclear energy, it will emit less greenhouse gas. Perhaps most important, India has developed its own nuclear arsenal without selling materials or know-how to other potentially dangerous states. This is more than can be said for Pakistan, home of the notorious A.Q. Khan nuclear network.

You can call this a double standard, as some of the agreement's critics do: one set of rules for countries we like, another for those we don't. Or you can call it realism: The agreement provides for more international supervision of India's nuclear fuel cycle than there would be without it. For example, it allows India to reprocess atomic fuel but at a new facility under International Atomic Energy Agency supervision, to protect against its diversion into weapons. The case for admitting India to the nuclear club is based on the plausible notion that the political character of a nuclear-armed state can be as important, or more important, than its signature on the NPT. North Korea, a Stalinist dictatorship, went nuclear while a member of the NPT; the Islamic Republic of Iran appears headed down the same road. Yet India's democratic system and its manifest interest in joining the global free-market economy suggest that it will behave responsibly.

Or so it must be hoped. The few details of the agreement released Friday suggest that it is very favorable to India indeed, while skating close to the edge of U.S. law. For example, the United States committed to helping India accumulate a nuclear fuel stockpile, thus insulating New Delhi against the threat, provided for by U.S. law, of a supply cutoff in the unlikely event that India resumes weapons testing. Congress is also asking appropriate questions about India's military-to-military contacts with Iran and about New Delhi's stubborn habit of attending meetings of "non-aligned" countries at which Cuba, Venezuela and others bash the United States. As Congress considers this deal, India might well focus on what it can do to show that it, too, thinks of the new strategic partnership with Washington as a two-way street.

There has been an error in the processing of my I-130 petition for my mother. It was approved and now I am being asked to submit form I-485 or form I-824. The problem is that my mother is not and has never been to the US. I called CIS and talked to a representative about the error. She said she would send a letter to the CIS about it and that I should hear back from CIS in 5 days. I am just wondering if this timeline is realistic or I should expect it to take more time. Should I contact my senator and ask for assistance in facilitating this process? Would hiring a lawyer expedite this process? I know that the petition should then go to the NVC. Would a lawyer help?
Thank you very much.

Now she got her H1 Visa approved when she was here in US. She is going for H1 Visa stamping . She is filling her DS-157 again with the correct dates. Would it be a problem. Would H4 DS-157 be tied back to DS-157 for H1 while she is there for H1 Stamping.

Please any help would be appreciated.

yes, you can work on OPT till EAD comes. Once EAD comes, just file a new I-9 with EAD and continue working.

Remember, in OPT, you do not have to pay social security tax. Once you switch to EAD, you have to pay social security tax.

Does anybody know how long will it take for the application to be processes as it was initially filed under premium processing?

Also, since now the H1b approval is not confirmed, He is under OPT and it expires in Aug 2011. Can he apply for STEM extention as his employer is e verified. so incase his h1b is not approved he can still continue to work under OPT. Is it possible to get the STEM extention while his H1b is still under processing? Need you urgent advise. Please help!!

I am on H1B and my wife is in H4 here. She is a nurse and can apply for the AOS before Aug 17 .But she does not have all certificate that makes her AOS approved at this time. We hope that we can obtain the certificate (Visa Screen certificate) by the time the RFE comes. But it is a 50-50 chance only. So what could be the best option for us and consequences of each.
My case (h1B)
1. I also apply for AOS with her so that I can get aGC along with her but do not use the EAD .
2. I apply for the AOS later but before her AOS approved.
My wife case (h4)
1. Apply for the AOS but do not use EAD
2. Apply AOS and use EAD.
Also do you know around when the USCIS issues RFE once the application is recieved?
I really appreciate your advice in this.

If you're going to fudge the truth, you would think she would pick something tough to refute. From the Arizona Republic: Gov. Jan Brewer said in a recent interview that her father died fighting Nazi Germany. In fact, the death of Wilford Drinkwine came 10 years after World War II had ended. During the war, Drinkwine worked as a civilian supervisor for a naval munitions depot in Hawthorne, Nev. He died of lung disease in 1955 in California.

The application has been pending since 2001, so I decided to first threaten USCIS with a lawsuit, and then maybe file a writ of mandamus. My question is whether I have authority to do so as a dependent. Can I represent the whole family or at least myself? My father is leaving the country for some time and it will be hard for him to participate in the process.
Thanks!

I think that EAD/AP are not dependent/tied to the employer?



No.. it's not tied to the employer..
