Hello,
An approved H1-B petition is an approval for you to undertake employment within US, while a H1-B stamp is to allow you to knock on the US door (PoE) where an IO will decide whether to let you in or not.
There is no requirement that states that legally you must be working continuously within US if you are on H1-B (if anyone knows otherwise, he/she should post the appropriate link).
In short, you should not have any issue at all. The IO will ask why you were out of US and you can tell him/her that you were out 'cause you were consulting from India and not working in US for the past year. You should keep the new offer letter with you to prove to the IO that you have a new job within US now and that's why you want to enter the country.
Do consult a lawyer, but IMHO, you should be fine as a fiddle! :)

What if you have used AC-21 before getting GC ......
Would that allow you quit the employer sooner than 6 months after GC as this is not the employer who sponsored the GC in first place.

As I understand, Employer needs to pay for H1B fees. If the employee is asked to pay, it is illegal and you can report to DOL and employer will be in big trouble.

however, i will appreciate if you can tell me if these are the only required
1. Measles/ Mumps/ Rubella - Adult
2. Varicella
3. Hepatitis B - Adult
and the following tests
1. Tuberulosis - Tubercolin Skin Test
2. Serologic Test for Syphilis - RPR Screen
3. Serologic Test for HIV Antibody - HIV AB Screen
They keep changing the requirements. I found this link, USCIS - I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=eb1f3591ec04d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD). Why don't you check it out there. One question I have is, once the date is current, do you need to resubmit yours if you had submitted it more than one year earlier?

i had the same situation. your friend can apply for H1-B coz he is already counted. He'll loose whatever time that he is used on EAD and get the remaining time that is left on his 6 year period. If 6 years is already passed, he can still file for H1-B based on labor, 140 approval. In my case, my H1-B got denied coz of employer issues and i have an another H1-B with another company. Mean while i have filed AC21 with my new employer to be able to work..Hope this helps..
Hi Sankar,
Can one apply for another h1b if h1b extn not come thru and h1b already expired ?

Friends,
I'm in a position where I have to file for I-140 again. In short, my company was purchased and I had to refile I-140 under the new company's name. Since the new company does not pay for Premium processing, I'll have to shell out the Premium processing fee from my pocket.
I need your honest opinion as to whether I must file with premium or regular? My PD: is June 2007.
I appreciate all your comments!
What is the cost for premium processing

It's true.. CA n NY were worst... Anyway PERM removed this state to state business of Labor for new applicants. But ideally any process should not have luck part including USCIS?
So waits continue till I am LUCKY.....
Dates were current till 2005. They were again current in between.
So it has been a game of luck. Many people got GCs and may even have citizenship by now. Until 2005 your luck depended on the state your labor was filed from.

Before I say any thing further, I want to clarify that I am NOT asking for any action but want to point out to a unique Gandhigiri protest idea proposed by one of our members:
On one of the posts rajmehrotra suggested "Something like a mass blood donation drive will garner empathy and publicity in a positive way." This was seconded by another member Gravitation. Not sure what other people think but I personally liked this idea very much.
So please save this idea for future use if others also recommend it.

What happens if your W2 is higher then the prevailing wage? Like $22K higher?
You are thinking too much. Whether you are in Bay area or in NYC , it does not matter. All they care is whether you are getting a salary mentioned on the LCA or not.

Just had a general question. The 797 thats approved for any person, is that for a specific consulate? If we want to go for stamping to another consulate what do we do? Is that a lengthy procedure. Thanks friends.
as far as I know -
Unless you submit form 825, It is possible to get stamped anywhere. However is it to the discretion of consulate whether to stamp or redirect to the visa post where the person belongs to. If you submit 825, copy of the approval notice will be sent to visa post selected and visa must be stamped there only.

Hi,
Currently i am working for a for-profit company on F1-OPT until April-07 (when my OPT expires)
This company will file H1B for me on April 1st for start date of Oct 1st and consequently, i will be out of job for 5 months (May-Sept).
Previously the company said that they will put be on Leave of Absense (LOA) for this 5 month gap until my H1b start-date kicks off on Oct 1st but now,
they are telling me that i will be terminated at April but will be hired again on Oct 1st and they will not put me on LOA.
1. Is there any way i can protect my job as they are terminating me now and then promising me to re-hire again on Oct 1st?
2. Should i ask for a job offer later stating a new hire date of Oct 1st?
3. Anything i am missing here? -- concerned that they first told me i will be on LOA but now telling me i will be terminated and again re-hired.
Note: The company is paying for both atorney and H1b fees and for this 5 month gap, i will be on H4, so no need to leave US.
Will appreciate any feedback on my 3 questions/concerns above - than ks.
I was in a similar position a few years ago. I had to be at home for 1 month.
From that experience I know that your company is approaching the situation in the correct/legal fashion. It is illegal for the company to employ you (even on LOA without pay or benefits) once your OPT expires.
1] Most jobs are at-will meaning there is no real way to "protect your job".
2] If they are filing for your H1 then the company will be submitting a letter to the government saying that they intend to employ you starting October 1, you can ask for a copy of the letter.
3] They must have talked to their immigration attorney who set them straight about LOA etc.
As others mentioned, if the company is willing to spend 5k to get you a H1, they intend to employ you after October 1.
As for "back-up H1", you can definitely look for a job and get a H1 from a different company also but on October 1st you will have to choose where you want to work. Remember if you choose to get "back-up H1s", you are essentially screwing one company and also wasting one valuable H1 visa. You are being un-necessarily cautious if not downright paranoid. However, if you are person who believes in "back-up tickets", "back-up house" in case "back-up car" etc. then go ahead, look for "back-up H1s".
Good luck.

Thank you for the very helpful information. This is exactly what I plan to do unless the IO at the port-of-entry specifically asks for the travel doc. I sure hope that it doesn't come to that because I don't want to use the travel doc.
When we have traveled to Matamoros, MX for stamping we had AP and H1/H4. On return we have used H1/H4. NO questions asked at the border check post.

My friend received a letter from USCIS in response to his phone call asking then why they have not taken a decision inspite of 60 days expired after responding RFE. This is what the letter mentions.
The status of this service request is:
Your application is pending the availability of 3rd preference employment based Visas. Currently there are none available. You are invited to visit the Department of State website where you may keep abreast of any developments regarding this classification of Visa.
What does this mean ? Now, he don't have to worry about any future RFE/Denials ? Can he make his future plans assuming he will get his GC one day ?? His PD is 2001.
please advise guys ..
thanks,
narendra
As I read your msg , I interpret the USCIS letter (my reading of in-between lines) that his EB-3 (PD:2001) case has been pre-adjudicated and he is all set to get his GC whenever visa numbers are available.

Hello All,
I have my H1B stamp and my wife has a H4 stamp from my old employer valid until December 2007. I transferred my employer in Jan 2007 and have a new I-797 valid until 2009. My wife now wants to travel outside the country and come back in a month (September 2007). Can she travel with her current stamping? What documents does she needs at the port of entry when she comes back (my I-797?). Would appreciate very much if someone can help. This is fairly urgent since she has to travel next week.
Regards,
Azeez
