Hi,
Quick question here. Suppose the h1 receipt was not attached and the application was already sent by july2. Can we send in a copy of H1 extension receipt now ?
My h1b visa expired in april 2007 and extension was filed in feb 2007. I94 also expired in april 2007. I am thinking as long as u apply aos application within 180 days of being out of status for any reason we are in status.
Correct me if im wrong and add any info that you may feel is relevant..
Anxiously waiting for reply

How long did it take for you after filing the FOIA to get the concerned documents ?
Complex tracks(track 2) taking 2-3 months these days, like the one I requested for the complete set of documents in file of my I-485. They send me the CD with all the documents in PDF format.
But if you are looking for specific document I guess it will be faster as they put in simple track(track 1).

I want to be more specific. I have a full time job. I'd like to setup a business LLC to get some contract works. For tax benefit, I can deduct some business cost with it.
To setup a business LLC you do not even need to be in the US

Guys funds are needed all the time, so please keep contributing. The amount being asked is less than 1% of your monthly salary - is that too high a price for YOUR cause?

She should enter in the US on H4, for which you will need to keep your H1 valid at least until the time of her entry.
Correction: He has to maintain the H1 even after his wife enters the USA in H4 status. If he looses H1B status by any means, his wife's H4 is invalid and she will be out of status. So, he has to maintain H1B status until his wife files AOS/485.

I have similar question about EB2 and experience with current employer
I came from China, so EB3 are really bad comparing with EB2
As I know I could not use experience at my current employer (Company A) to fill EB2, can I find a consulting company (Company B) who willing to sponsor my EB2, while still work for Company A (through Company B)?
Will that be some problem, or is it legal?
Yes. You can find a company B and ask them to process your case in EB2. Remember, GC is for future employment not current. So you can work for company A whereas your processing under EB2 thru company B can go ahead. However, you will need to join company B at some point in time. This is what my company B told me. I believe it is once you file your 485 but I am not sure.

If you havent already seen threads here about how bad the desi employers here in US can be, companies like Satyam, Infosys who are based in India have even worst reputation..they pay indian salaries and expect round the clock work including weekends..and ofcourse no pay..working at McDonalds is probably a better option than these companies...
I had a very bad experience working for one of those companies and many more friends had similar experience.
You are absolutely right my friend. And its certainly a better option to work at McDonalds :)

depends on how you filed it, if its premium processing, you get a decision in 4 to 6 days.. amazing what an extra 1000 dollars can do. I waited 4 years to get my labor approved and I-140 in 14 days with premium processing.

I would just wait out the 6 months for AC21 to kick in, then go to work for a reputable company. There's no need to sign on with a dicey consulting shop once you've got your EAD and AC21 is in play.
Also, I believe the AC21 "same or similar job" constraint is more flexible than you're thinking. As long as you stay within the same o*net category (e.g., programmer or systems analyst or whatever), you should be fine. USCIS doesn't care whether you're a java programmer or a .net programmer. (But I am not a lawyer, you may want to clear any potential new job with a qualified attorney).

It's great that someone started this topic. I've been facing the same discrimination for the past month. A government agency would not recognize my I-797 for H-1B as valid document to prove my legal status. At the same time someone else got approved because he has a H-1B visa stamp in the passport.
Is there something saying that I-797 is a valid and sufficient proof for I-9 and failure to recognize it is discrimination?
Thanks!!!

Because you , me and many like us have bad luck!!!! EB categories are now unofficial lottery system. If you lucky you will not wait!
I dont have any other explanation.
The harder I worked, the luckier I got.. I am quoting somebody here.
What did we really do in the last so many years to highlight our issues. Be frank. Did you just wait for things to happen or did you participate or do somethig atall. Your answer will help others realize if something is missing and hence can convert into positive action.

Thanks for replying. I just came back from the court and got back the following
1. Court certified copy of the complaint
2. Court certified copy of the whole case docket
What I found was my charge was reduced from DUI (VC 23152(A) and VC23152(B) to Wet reckless (VC 23103.5(A)) by negotiations with DA. The docket also mentions that I have paid all the fees and completed all the courses assigned to me.
Does this help in this matter?
I am going to consult an attorney but does anyone know what could be attorney charges in such case?
I honestly did not know that I needed to mention DUI in the application otherwise I would have since I have nothing to hide and I want everything to be straightforward.
The fact that the offense was reduced to Wet reckless probably helps your case (I am not sure I am just guessing here). You really need to talk to a specialist lawyer who deals with such kind of cases not a general immigration lawyer, Usually a consultation fee ranges from 100 to 300 depending on the experience and the profile of the lawyer and if you want to take the attorney to the interview with you then it may run upto and above $3000.
- good luck

My H1-B extension was filed on June 3 2010 requesting for additional 3 years (after the 1st 6 yrs). My labor and I-140 were also approved. The case has been pending since then. It has been more than 5 months now. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar delays? My I-797 has expired in September and I'm still working on the basis of the pending application.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have a question regarding voluntary work and the legalities when you are on a H4 spouse visa.
A Private company is ready to sponsor a candidate who is currently on H4 visa (spouse visa) for the H1-B visa in April.
But since the H1-B visa will only be given in Oct, can the H4 person work with that Pvt. Company from April to Oct voluntarily without any form of pay in cash or kind till the candidate gets the H1-B in Oct and then continue with that company?
Thanks & Regards,
Anand

Look how desperate we have become, someone is ready to shell 10k per family member to get GC.
I agree and disagree with you guys.
I disagree because, we all are legal immigrants, we have to be given priority as the American economy needs people like us. H1-B not only means growth in tech but also economy. All the H1-B personnel spend a good amount of money here on (Rent, car, insurance, food, travel) with all this new jobs and much more will be benificial to this country.
We should not be charged such amount to get what we deserve.
On the other hand- I agree to pay 10k per familiy member because, we are stuck at one place with lots of problems without GC.
Most of us are not sure whether they will be staying at one place to do an investments like buying a house. Wife cant work etc.
Keeping all the above in mind even If we loose 10k per member we will make that in less then 6 months when compared to waiting for a GC for years.

Yes India, I totally second it. India as of now is a booming economy and will be in the future, we all are professionals educated if other economies can benefit why can�t our own benefit from what we have. People all talk about corruption, corrupted politicians, red tape etc, why don�t we take a step towards pushing it down, like once my friend said about putting a website that will expose all of them even a clerk who is corrupted can be captured on a mobile phone and posted on the site.. Just a thought and well being an immigrant means for some time in life you cant even vote(Voting is an important thing in democracy).I believe India will keep growing in the years to come and will be good option .I personally believe being a part of developing some thing even a country is great thing rather than sit on top of something that�s already developed by some one�Just a thought.;)
