Hello Sir,
I'm in H1B visa, so also my husband.
In this time of recession, i fear if I'm laid off, wanted to seek your valuable guiance on the following:
- transfer my status from H1 to H4? have all pay stubs in tact.
- return back to H1 B status once I find an opening with new company? All I will need to do is transfer my H4 status back to my same H1B visa?
- visa in passport is originally stamped for Oct 2009 when I came from India, and I have my new I797 with validity date as Apr 2011. Do I still have I797 as valid even if I'm laid off?
Please let me have your views on this. Highly appreciate a speedy response.
Thank you in advance,
Shivani:confused:

EB3-I, PD Nov 2002, 485 filed 2004. Have EAD and also have approved H1 (year 9 -12), but not stamped on passport. With about 7000 people ahead of me, wait time for my GC is estimated to be 2-3 years.
Have been with employer who filed GC for over 10 years now. There is a job opportunity with another employer, but the job description may be different from what was filed on my original GC. Pay will be similar, but travel will substantially reduced, allowing me to be home more.
What should I be careful of if pursuing this new opportunity? Is there anything I should be asking the new employer for related to the job description filing? Should I be asking them to file H1 transfer or use my EAD? Should I ask them to file EB2-I and port my PD over?
Thanks - just want to make sure I am not jeopardizing my 10 year wait for this opportunity.
1. Make sure that your new company's HR and lawyer are comfortable in supporting the fact that new job is same or similar to old job. It is a grey area and you can be the best judge on it.
2. When you join the new employer ask their attorney to send AC-21 letter to USCIS indicating that you have moved to a same or similar job based on AC-21 porting.
3. Filing for H1 or EAD is a personal choice - as far as GC processing goes I don't see a difference in using either.
4. If they are willing and and the position qualifies you to file EB-2 and port PD- sure go ahead.

Most of the congressmen hold town hall meetings. This is their method of meeting with constituents.
This may be a great opportunity for you to push for skilled immigration. He may be against CIR. But no congressmen would say "no" to qualified individuals.
Explore opportunities for the congressman to place a bill of his own supporting skilled immigration.

Hi
What is is your 140 Filing Date and which center ?? When did you see Status change online. Did you see any change, while the appln. is being taken for processing.
Actually, my question, is my 140 went to TSC on Aug 29, 2007 (From NSC), As per latest procesing statistics, I see, upto Aug 26,2007, cases were cleared by May 15th. My case, must have been taken for processing by now. But I donot see any Status Change.
Donot know, how correct are these Processing Statitstics. Did 140 processing Date go back in TCS. How do I know, approx. date of my 140 clearance. I am really in need of the same, as I am running a tough situation.:mad::o
Appreciate any inputs to this situation of mine. :)
thanks.
My I-140 was approved on 5/8/2008 and my attorney received the original approval notice on 5/14/2008. The online status on uscis website was like "approved, approval notice sent" at that time. But since 5/22/2008, the onlien status changed again into:
Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.
On May 22, 2008 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.
Anybody has any idea what this "New document" could be? My attorney said he has not received anything yet. Thanks in advance.

IV on Bay Area TV - FOX-2 (KTVU)
Pratik Dakwala of Immigration Voice was interviewed by KTVU, a local Fox affiliate of San Francisco Bay area. The name of the interviewer was Priya David.
The program will be telecast between 5PM and 6PM Pacific standard time and the interview is about 5-6 minutes long.
Dont live in Bay area:
If you dont live in San Francisco/San Jose area, you can see the link that they would upload on website : http://www.ktvu.com/index.html. We will post the link here once available.
If you live in San Francisco/Bay area:
This will be probably available only in Bay Area and nearby areas where they can have KTVU Fox-2. The good thing is, since this is a local channel, I dont think you need cable to see this. However, if you do have cable I am sure you can see it, but then I am not sure whether it will be channel 2 or some other channel.
This is one more media coverage event in the series of events that has helped immigration voice highlight the problems of legal employment-based immigrants. Other media stories that covered Immigration Voice can be found here(also a menu item on home page): IV in the News (http://www.immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_weblinks&catid=19&Itemid=27)

Friends,
As I had indicated that I had admission to study for MBA in europe starting Sep/Oct 2007, looks like I have to drop it due to the GC process ( entangled)
My last discussion wirh Immi and employer drove the nail in the coffin.
I would appreciate any suggestion fromfolks like you.
Outcome:
I can quit the job and proceed for MBA at my risk ( leave spouse behind in the US in I-485 pending stage). If for example my PD ( July 2002 EB3 india) comes up during my absence in the US and if there is a RFE, my current employer WILL NOT provide a job offer so far into the future ( ie post Sep 2008). the least they said they can do is not pull labor and I-140 ( both approved and I-485 pending for 4 yrs)
Since I am in the Mechanical egnineering field , i dont know who to find , ( unlike adundant software body shoppers present) who will draft an offer in case of RFE.
I have few more weeks before I see this opportunity slip by.
Can anyone guess if the EB3- India PD will move to July 2002 or beyond before September 2008?
Any suggestion./directions will be appreciated... Around me i have no one who has even changed jobs , used AC21 etc.
Thanks for your time
--------
Let me guess, remember this is just PURE GUESS.
I think it is unlikely that Eb3 date will reach July 2002 in next 1.5 years, if you see how long it was stuck in April 2001, I can expect the progress to be very very slow.
If there is a CIR or some kind of relief then yes it can reach that far.

As per the document:
total EB2 visa available: 40040
Grand total of EB2 pending: 33850
So, technically all the EB2 applicants should get their GC during the fiscal year of 2011. Even in the situation where no fall down from EB1.
Seems like good news for many and hopefully foir EB3s as well if further fall down of visas occur.
Guess, USCIS should wake up and move the dates faster instead of jungling during last quarter of the fiscal year.

Today morning�s market place on NPR had a feature on the shortage of qualified technical professionals in US, mainly because of the shortage of qualified American Professionals and difficulty in hiring foreign professionals. This discussion was in reference to a labor department report with regard to the new job creation. There was a mention that the oil and gas sector is also facing very high shortage of qualified and experienced technical since US had no major expansion in this area in the last decade as a result of which getting experienced professionals has become more difficult.
I also found this news article which also mentions the same thing.. may be it will help to bring this to notice of the lawmakers..
http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/15618901.htm
""
``We think the growth could be much higher,'' said Josh James, AeA senior manager, research and industry analysis, who contributed to the report. ``Numerous tech companies are having a difficult time finding qualified workers, both because fewer U.S. kids are coming out of universities with science and engineering backgrounds and companies are having a more difficult time hiring foreign nationals because of the visa process
"
Iam sure if nothing else.. it will help the H1 Cause...:)

I presume that you have a lawyer. They should work with you HR group to get the ads set and sent to the BPC.
Based on the Federal Register, the only labour certifications that cannot be converted are those that already have a job order initiated through the BPC, as part of the supervised recruitment process.

Thanks for the information. On november 9, 2007, I called using other options and CSR level 2 took my data to begin a report. Today, I followed your instructions to check if there was a more effective way to obtain an aswer, but I am really dissapointed. CSR used my name to look in their system. The only thing that she could found was my H visa application. She never mentioned that there was an investigation due to my call of november 9. Finally she just asked me to wait 30 more days, and neven mention the option to place a report.

CITI Bank usually send the 1099. But if you have account with ICICI or some other Indian Banks they do not send it. Also check if your bank in India deducting Tax (Usually called as TDS) on interest you earn. That amount you can deduct on US tax return as foreign taxes paid.
You are right. I just confirmed also with ICICI(my bank) and they do not send 1099. Damn.
So what should I do now. Do I report the interest income from prior years (its very small.... less than $200/year) and file TD F 90-22.1 form this year.
How big a issue is this. Should I be very scared?

I'm not attorney but I'm suggesting based on my experience .I know answers as Ive gone through this recently...
1. Yes , Your PD for approved 140 is your possession. You can port it in your future 485 process of GC with your future employer even if your old employer revokes it.
2. You can get three year extension to your new H1 transfer with your current approved 140 of old employer.
3. Yes, You can.
Please let me know if you have any concerns.
Dear peacocklover,
Thank you for your helpful answers.
I'm in a similar situation even though in my case, the reason for H-1 transfer is because I might get laid off (my boss tell me to start looking around - massive lay off is coming).
May I ask one question to clarify your answer?
It's regarding #3, "once h1 is extended beyond the 6th year for say 3 years, can I transfer my h1 to a new employer", and your answer is yes.
So, once I complete the transfer to a new employer, can the previous employer "safely" revoke the H-1 and I-140, and won't have any effect on my newly transferred H-1?
(My boss will try to work it out, to keep I-140 open, but they plan to revoke it as soon as I got a new job).
Many many thanks :)
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
