am in my 8th year H1 due to expire in april...with an approved 140.(not a june 07 filer..no EAD)
My company is merging and i may get the axe..i have tried all tricks...but my exit is imminent..;(..well that's life.
I was about to file for my H1 extension... and now i may not be able to do that.
My spouse is on H1(Dec 2010) and we are expecting in april..and she thus cant travel.
I don't want to change to H4...(if i return i may switch to CP..hence i dont want to change to H4 and lose the GC process)
so can anyone please tell me,
a.) after my H1 expires in april, can i stay for a month or so and then leave the country?..will i be in any trouble at the port of exit.. i need time to pack and ship..hence the delay...
...Should i seek a legal advice???
... i just want to know.. if i can approach the USCIS and explain and get some kind of extension..
..do you know anyone who has been in a similar situation..
what are my options.. any advice will be appreciated...
thanks..

Hello,
I got a notice today saying that my H1B withdrawal notice has been sent on Sep9th (today).
My new employer applied LCA yesterday (09.08.2009) for my H1B transfer.
What is my status now? can I transfer H1B to new company?
Is my old H1B revoked?
what is my next step to do to stay as legal immigrant?
Thanks in advance.

My visa is H4 and I got my EAD last month, but my family's I-140 and I-485 on pending, if I use my EAD , unfortunately I-140 we can not pass, is that means I must leave U.S.A. in ten days?

I have PD which is current (Jun 03 EB2 India), a RD which is current (Jun 05! yes VSC transfer to TSC in Apr 07). In the last week of Nov 07 got a simple RFE (medical RFE wherein the doc forgot to check one box), which was replied promptly and got confirmation from USCIS that they got the response.
Have been following up with USCIS (service request, POJ-TSC from April 7th). Got a soft LUD today (04/22/2008). does it mean anything ?

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has announced (http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=32094) that several more forms will be transitioning from the Service Centers to the Lockbox Network. USCIS believes that by centralizing form and fee intake to a Lockbox environment, USCIS will improve consistency and integrity in the intake process.
The forms scheduled for the transition include:
I-140 (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=4a5a4154d7b3d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD), Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker;

I-526 (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=79a7105b5904d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD), Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur;

This transition has already started, as the Service Centers will be forwarding applications to the appropriate Lockbox facilities. USCIS plans to announce the address change sometime in June and will revise the filing instructions and update the web page for each form.

Totally irrelevant to this forum. Administrator please review this thread.
I know this is irrelevant in a way but see it from a different angle for one moment. There is no other forum where you can get any information about these H1 employers who are playing games using retrogression. This is the only forum where most of the people on H1 are related to some desi consulting company and can share their experiences which would help other people who are in huge pain due to the unfair practices of their existing employers.
I would recommend the administrators to create a separate area on this forum where people can share these experiences and find genuine employers.

I could take upto 3 months of sabbatical partially paid (1st month:100%, 2nd,3rd-50%) - I am currently on H1 Visa and working for the employer who sponsered by GC. I would like to know if there is any effect of taking sabbatical on my pending I485 ?
Thanks
Since you're on H1 that might be a problem as your W2 will reflect the lwage info . You can either take a leave of absence for a month or 2 (not more than that) If there's a query during H1 extension , you can let them know that you had taken a leave. Draft a leave letter and mail it to the employer so that he has it in records.
But if you use your EAD it doesnt matter. You dont have to worry about the 3months.

Dont flll 1040 by yourself if you are not a tax expert.
Line 34 in 1040 is tuition and fee deduction and you have to file form 8917.
get Some software such as Turbotax or Taxcut

My understanding is that USCIS pre-adjudicates every application and requests fingerprint/namecheck, even if the dates are not current. It is done to weed out denials right away - you don't need to wait for PD to become current to be denied.

I am in the same situation. I am on my 8th year of H1 and this is for the first time I am have heard so much hoopla that has made me real nervous. My lawyer has advised me against taking any risk. I already have the tickets but I am planning to postpone, apply for EAD and only then go to India.
Please note that this is only me and I might have a comletely different risk tolerance than you might have.
I am planning to visit India during May 2011. I am working in multinational company as civil engineer (on H1-B). I have PhD from US uni. I am reading a lot about visa stamping probs these days. Please help me taking decision whether to take chance (& visit India) or not. will appreciate any advises especially from ppl with such recent experience. Thanks.

I came to US on H4, 3 years ago. Later I took my H1B with a recruiter and got it with I-94. It was valid up to 2007 oct. But I couldn't take up any work due to some problems. Recently I went to India and came back. At the port of entry I got new I-94 with H4 stamping. Means My H1 Is not valid now ? In this case, is there any way to apply for change of status again as my H1 is valid up to 2007. Or else do I need to apply for my new H1B again ? Pl. any one clarify.
If you have changed status from H4-H1..how come you entered on H4 again..
As per my knowledge your H4 status ends once your H1B is approved and if you go out of country..you have to get your H1B stamped and enter the country...
I may be wrong ,please consult a good immigration attorney

These are so screwed up...
Looks like they are heavily back logged.. (mabye cause the conslate did not accept PIO and OCI applications for almost a month)
I sent in my daughter's OCI for miscelaneous service - move OCI sticker to new passport...
sent it in March and its still not yet reached the consulate..
when I applied the rules said they need a copy of old passport, they later changed the rules and are now saying you need to send orignal passport.
I sent the orignal passport also to them and since then no update -:(
Just impossible to reach them also...am on the phone since the last 2 hours -:( and still waiting...
they do not reply to emails either.
any one else here having trouble with them ?

Hello,
I am an F1 visa student and am marrying my sweetheart who is an American citizen. We are planning to pick up the marriage license tomorrow, in MA. I know one of the questions is "residence". Do I put my local residence (I've been here for about 6 years) or my foreign residence? I do not want to jeopardize my status.
Thanks

for 482 the 2 checks of 325 and 70 and one check of 180$ for I765 should be payble to 'Department of Homeland Security', or 'United States Citizenship and Immigration Service'
The form says it should be payble to 'Department of Homeland Security' and the immigration voice 485 help thread says it should be payble to 'United States Citizenship and Immigration Service' .
Please suggest and sorry if this si a repost. I could not find a exact answer.
Thanks
