Hello,
My 6 years on H1B is going to expire in Oct 10. I want to file for extension but the lawyer says that i can do it only after Mar 10 that is 6 months before h1b expires.
I have to visit my home country in May 10 and i wanted to go with my new h1b documents.
Can you please suggest if i can file now or is there really a timeframe before we file?
Sorry forgot to mention, I have approved I140.
Thanks for your time and suggestion!

Thanks guys. I would appreciate to know if the nationally known attorneys like Rajiv Khanna, Murthy, Ron, Shustermann are actually worth the money they charge?

Not sure if this is the section to post this.
I am listing a few things that rake up my mind whenever I think of my prolonged (for me its prolonged though) stay in US. Dragging my feet over decisions to go back or not.
My posting is entirely my view. I would not be willing to trample on other's feelings. Just sharing a few things.
Cons
------
1) Leave everything behind as such in our native place and start everything afresh here. Looks cool for a start. But end up in a remote place with few people and no friends. Life starts to suck when you move on for some months in the remote place. Some like it most don't.
2) Trying to look back on what we missed being with family and friends, those good old days. Sitting on a wall/bench and chatting about daily happenings/cricket etc
3) Going back after some time to be bewildered on what happened to those buildings that were there. Before you digest all those, your vacation is gone. Poof
4) Most Importanty, live with fear on what will happen to those near and dear who have been wishing us good luck and health. Just imagining that fact that when you visit back next time, they might not be there, gives me sleepless nights. This is true even when you are back in your native place but at least you have a solace in seeing them whenever you require and help them in their times of need physically. Nothing is like what you do rather than telling others to do.
5) Missing all those religious events, happenings, special occasions.
Pros
-----
1) Live own life without any bindings (we can give umpteen excuses on how we are forced to live but its still our life)
2) Money factor
3) Move away from petty politics
4) Your own car.
5) Wifeys like it here as it moves them from home politics and they drive the home here.
These are my thoughts. Just sharing with a few who might care.

Hi,
I 've applied for my H1 extension in August 2009 (Just two weeks before my previous I-94 was expiring), after a month I have been facilitated with RFE for client letter. As usually my client denied providing me a letter and told me to contact primary vendor for any of this kind. Finally got a letter from primary vendor with roles and responsibilities of mine with very extended duration. RFE was answered with the primary vendor letter, and after couple weeks extension was denied.
Now my previous H1 got expired two months back, initially my employer told me that he will open MTR but attorney suggested that chances of MTR success is less and asked to file new application for extension. Another application (premium) was filed within 2 weeks of first application denial and after couple weeks my extension was approved.
1. will the period between initial H1 expirey date and approval of 2nd application for extension considered as "out of status" ?
2. Had to visit india and need to go for stamping, how is mexico in my case?
3. I heard that due to not having an entry in PIM, applications are kept pending for 4 to 6 days in india with 221g. How about mexico, will it be same?
Thanks in Advance.

I am also in the same boat as you and my attorney has sent my Labor ETA 750 to DOL for changing the box 15. It is good to change it now at Labor stage as there is quite lot rejection at I140 stage if your degree is 3 years..so it is better to have it ammended at Labor stage.
I would say all those who are waiting on Labor with 3 Years degree should make sure that your Labor states that it a "combination" else you will be trouble.

My two cents.

You dont need translation service to translate it. Any of your friend who is proficient in marathi and english can translate it.
At the bottom of the translation, add these lines, and have your friend sign it along with his name and address.
I, _______________________________, do hereby certify that I am proficient in both English and Marathi, and accordingly I am competent to perform translations, and that I have translated the foregoing/attached document accurately and to the best of my knowledge and ability.
Hope that helps. I did this for my birth certificate as per my lawyers advice.
Hi folks,
Could someone please point me to a Marriage Certificate Translation service9s)?
It's in Marathi and has photos, legal fee stamps and seals on it and I would like to retain the look as much as possible.
I kinda searched this website, but the search engine doesn't take you to a specific post in a thread. Instead it just brings up all threads that contain a post with the search keyword. After navigating through a few pages with no luck, I gave up and hence the (potentially redundant) question!
With another opportunity for Adjustment of Status around the corner, I want to get this asap.
Thanks.

Hi
I am transferring my H1 to a firm on full time basis(not consulting company, product based). Currently I am on a project with A and I am going to transfer my H1 to B (which is 6 yrs old, american based company). I have pay slips from past 4 months, and I was on bench for 2 months where I didnt get my pasylips. For transfer I gave my past 4 months pay slips.
I have 2 questions here.
1) With company A, my LCA was not accurate. My LCA was of NY state & I am working in NJ.
Will this create any issue for my H1 transfer with company B which is VA and they have got the approved LCA.
2) Will there be any issue with my 2 months pay slips (which are of July & Aug). Right now I have submitted my H1 transfer with past 4 months payslips (Sep,Oct, Nov & Dec).
Please advice, I will really appreciate your suggestions on this ASAP.
Thanks

Guys,
It is always better to carry AP, in case if no AP, then No need to worry if it is a small duration since the GC is approved.
Even one can enter on valid H1 VISA when his/her own GC is approved as long as the duration between the GC approval and the date of Entry in USA is not too big. couple of weeks of duration is also fine.
I have confirmed this back in 2004 with couple of attorneys including Rajiv Khanna (ImmigationPortal.com).

The Department of State (DOS) has issued a regulation that broadens the authority of consular officers to revoke a visa at any time subsequent to issuance of the visa, including when the individual is already in the U.S. Additionally, the regulation allows consular officers and designated officials within DOS to revoke a visa provisionally while considering a final visa revocation.
This rule is effective April 27, 2011. DOS did not issue the regulation through notice and comment rulemaking on the basis that it involves a foreign affairs function of the United States and, therefore, is exempt from those procedures.
Pursuant to section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), DOS may determine that a visa should be revoked when information reveals that the applicant was originally, or has since become, ineligible or may be ineligible to possess a U.S. visa. In testimony before Congress in 2004, DOS stated that it had revoked 1,250 visas since September 11, 2001, based on information suggesting possible terrorist activities or links. Congress and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) have put pressure on DOS and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to improve their policies regarding visa revocations.
If DOS revokes an individual�s visa, the information will be uploaded into the Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS) database and the foreign national may not use the visa for travel to the U.S. Though DOS will seek to notify the traveler, the revocation is effective irrespective of whether the foreign traveler knows about the revocation.
Separately, the INA allows the government to remove (i.e. deport) an individual whose nonimmigrant visa has been revoked under section 221(i). There is no judicial review of the decision to revoke the visa, but there is judicial review in the context of a removal proceeding if the visa revocation is the sole basis for removal.
Expect more denials at the port of entry to the US by individuals not aware that their visa has been revoked. I understand the need for more security but this may not be the way to go.

Disclaimer: I'm not an immigration attroney, so consult one for your situations as laws and filing procedures are changing constantly.
most companies do the same (stop paying for H4) after initial yrs of working with them. i think they have to pay for H1 but i dont think for H4. it is easier to file the extension for H4 visa along with H1, i think it will be like 3-4 pages. i think it is somewhere around 200 for H4 (but fees changes often. check USCIS website).
send the I-539 filled and signed application to the company (with payment/reqd documents) and ask them to file both at the same time so that H4 will be approved when H1 is approved. goodluck:)
My company has just changed the rules. From now they are unwilling to pay the costs incurred in the visa extensions for the spouse.
Is this legal? Does anyone have any links etc that I can pass on to HR if this is illegal. Thanks.

If the company has processed your H1-B and they have fired you. Probably you are entitled for return fare to your home country. Because somewhere under some clause of H1B application, company has to sign that they will give return ticket to employee when the work is done. Please do some home work. Go to USCIS site and look for details needed to file H1-B application. Or if you have your H1 paperwork, look into it. You will stumble on something.

Hi,
A friend of mine who's in India right now has been offered a job by two different employers here in the US. Both of those employers want to file for her H1B.
From her perspective it makes sense to let both the employers apply for her H1 coz that increases her chances of getting at least one approved. However, reading a bunch of FAQs online it seems that it'd be illegal for her to let both the employers apply for her H1B.
Is that correct? Does anyone have any insights?
Thanks.

It took a little over 3 months for my H1 to get renewed but I wouldn't base anything on this. Its govt... if they feel like working they will approve yours in 3 weeks and if they don't you can read Bose's issue. I have lost all respect for functioning of govt.

Hi Guys,
As you may recall, we have had several phone meetings with Ms. Susan Henner, attorney at law. She has explained many issues and helped many of our members for free. You can see her tomorrow at 11:30AM EST on Fox News. She will be talking about an interesting immigration case.
NO, this is not a joke.
Regards,
Glus
Are you sure she is talking about EB immigration on Apr1st, the day when USCIS starts receiving H1B lotto applications? I will be surprised if networks are willing to talk NON H1B issues on APR 1st.

You can't.. It's very risky and not worth the trouble.. I tried and got denied.
Is more than 6 yrs of IT experience from a non-computers engg background good for applying for EB2 position? Can you comment from your experience.
