I agree with Mr. Bond
We need some basic administrative fixes and recapture of visas before we all burn out. I just hope whoever wins will give us some relief before any major over haul...

Hi Friends,
I am visiting to India on vacation and need to go for H1B renewal. My natvie place is in Andhra Pradesh, near to Chennai. So, i am comming from USA to Chennai, and wants to go to Chennai Consulate for stamping.
In vfs site the moment i select AP, it showing only Hyderabad appointment dates. how to choose and schedule appointment in Chennai consulate?
Can any of you suggest, how to proceed? is there any issues of going to Chennai rather Hyderabad?
I am resident of AP and went for my renewal last year to Chennai since its nearer to my place as compared to Hyderabad. There is no explicit way to get Chennai. They have a small percentage or limited slots available for out of state applicants at every consulate and as long they are available you should see the option to pick Chennai.
Initially, I did not get the Chennai option as well, but I kept checking and waited for a few weeks and when Chennai option was available I scheduled the appointment. Hope this helps.

they will not straightforward deny it...they will send you an RFE requesting proof that you were in legal status during that time. at that time - i am not sure how - but your employer will have to prove that your start date is in fact in january 2007.
i am pretty sure that is the course of action as i recall reading a couple of cases like that and i think atleast one of those cases was a similar case and the other was related to 245(i) - i hope i get that right.

I work with a consulting company on client side. The client is planning a shutdown for 2 days a month - 2nd and 4th Friday.
Do you guys think its gonna impact 485 application. I am asking this question cause the labor was approved for 40/hrs per week and the salary slip shows the number of hrs worked per month which will be lesser than 160 (in case the month has 4 weeks).
BTW, I am on EAD and 140 approved couple of years back.
Thanks
Pavan -
You should maintain 40/hr per week. This could mean - your consulting company paying these days for your "full time job". The other option is - taking paid time off for these days. Again, it should be paid time off.
Good Luck.

Hi,
I entered us on J-1 visa, then changed my status here to F-1. I went to school only for one semester, then I had to take off because of pregnancy, and later taking care of newborn twins. So, I had been out of school for 3 semesters. But my international student advisor told me I could still come back now without having to apply for reinstatement.
I don't know how he did it, but he said he had given me some extensions.
Anyway, i would like to travel home (Europe) after next semester. I know I willl have to apply for student visa over there to ba able to come back.
But might there be a problem either with obtaining that visa or here at the airport because I had been out of school for so long and have already kids who are american citizens. Their father is US citizen too, but we can not get married right now, as he is still not divorced.
Thank You

I have a couple of questions regarding H1B.
My current H1B(10th year) is expiring in a month and I am planning to use EAD. My 140 is approved and 485 is pending for over 2 years with company A. At the same time my second 140 is pending with company B.
The question is, in case if I used my EAD to work and for some reason if my 485 is denied, can I get back to my H1B? I was under the impression that I will have to leave the country and wait for 1 year to reset the clock but I was told by someone that its not necessary to wait for an year and I can file a H1B based on my pending I-140 with company B and will have to do it while outside of the country. ( This process does not require a new quota).
Is this true? any ideas?

My understanding of a soft LUD is that your case was accessed for something... but since my PD/RD is current, I was wondering if others in the same boat have any recent soft LUDs ?

Thanks frostrated. When I said CPT I actually meant STEM Extension (17 month). Anyways, if I don't find employment before my OPT expires, can I go to back to school without an issue? I think I should be okay but I just wanted to make sure. I would appreciate it if I got any input on this matter. I need to double check myself to make sure I'm on a legal status
Yes, you can go back to school. But you also need to find out if you were in violation of your status. On OPT, you cannot stay without working for more than a set period of days.
Though that is rarely enforced, it is good to keep in mind.
You can get an OPT only once per degree level. So, if you got your OPT for a master's level program, you cannot get another OPT for a master's level degree. You can get one for the Phd though. So keep that in mind when you go back to school.

My H1b expires Sep 2009 and can apply for extension from apr 2009 onwards(6 months ahead). If for some reasons the extension gets denied by around Jun 2009 will I have to leave the country immediately or am I valid till sep 30 2009 as per the original H1B. Is H1B transfer after the denial and before the i94 expiry date an option? Thank you.

Just wondering if anybody is giving up hopes of GC and switching from H1B to E3D (Dependent of Australian spouse) to take advantage of 2-yr renewable EADs...? How long does it take to get the initial EAD...Continue working without pay (or is there a workaround) while waiting for EAD?....any problems getting visa stamped with a 'yes' for past immigrant petition filed...
7yrs in this country...EB2 PD of 10/07 due to job changes..no 140 yet, no 485...6yrs in same job? no promotions? with 3yr extensions...frustration beyond words...E3D seems to a ray of hope but no idea of complications involved.

Hi,
I am planning to do concurrent filing on my PERM LC.
1. When will I get my AP/EAD? Will I get it only after I-140 is approved or I-140 approval does not matter?
I-140 approval not necessary.
2. Can I do premium processing on my I-140 in the concurrent filing?
Yes, absolutely!
3. Does premium processing available if another I-140 is already pending based on my LC Sub?
No, you cannot file another I-140 in PPS when another is already pending as per USCIS premium processing conditions.
Please reply.
Thanks

I opened a SR on July 24 2008. My priority date was going to be current starting Aug 2008, but still representative was kind enough to open SR for me . Guess at that time they were not getting bombarded by volume of calls.
It is almost 20 days and I have not received any response. CSR say it takes upto 45 days to respond.
- Did any body get a response back on their SR
- How much time it took to get response
- What format response is - Email / Letter / Call (are there any LUD's also)
- What is the content / detail level of response [Considering most of us are opening SR for case status and pending NC]
Thanks in advance
[ I am reposting this thread because in previous one I made mistake in subject, and didn't know how to edit it]
they have 60 days for sr..that is what the rep told me

Hello,
I have previously contacted an attorney from NY which has been very successful with O-1 visa applications. He has helped two people I know and apparently has a 100% success rate (I suppose that could come from only choosing cases he's sure will go through). This attorney has reviewed my CV and stated I certainly qualify for the O-1 visa. This guy is also very expensive.
My employer is willing to pay for all visa expenses, as long as it's through their own law firm (which charges about $5000 less than the NY guy). So my question is: as long as the CV is strong, is it possible an attorney could screw up the application, by not preparing it very well? Basically, I am trying to decided whether I should suggest to my employer eating up the cost difference so that I can work with the guy from NY.
Any advice welcome.
Thanks!

I applied for my I-140/485 together in the last week of June. I havent got the receipt numbers yet. My wife is on H1 and since she is not the primary application on my 485 forms, is it okay if she changes her job. Will her H1 transfer affect both of our applications.

Let her come on her own (H1/B2) to the US and then you can apply for spousal visa to extend her stay.
Here's my situation in briefest form. I'm engaged to a woman in the Philippines. She worked as a domestic helper in Kuwait from about 2005 to 2007, a period of about 2.5 years total.
I understand that as we move forward on our K1 application (I'm an American just be clear) she'll be required to submit police reports for anyplace she has lived for more than 6 months. She doesn't have such an item from Kuwait, and it seems nearly impossible to obtain such a report. The websites all say that this document is only given to 'current residents'.
How can we obtain such document, and what if we can't? It seems unfathomable that the US Gov would request a possibly unobtainable document and then permanently deny our chance to live in the US together, if we are absolutely unable to obtain this document?
Does anyone have any advice, or can tell me what happens in a situation such as this?
Thanks for any help.
