My H1B 6th Year expires August 2007 and need to apply for 7th year extension.
The below are options I read in murthy.com
1. Labor pending or approved before 365 days of H1B 6th Year expires
2. I140 Approved
Applied for PERM labor in April 2007 and still in pending status (First option ruled out)
After looking at July 2007 Visa Bulletin immediately Applied for I140 using Substitution Labor . Assuming that I can work on EAD.
And because of Revised Visa Bulletin I could not apply for I485.
Can I apply for 7th year extension based on I140 receipt (using Labor substitution)?
If no to the above question and suppose if my PERM labor is approved some time in July and if the USCIS start again the Premium for I140 Can I apply for another I140 from same employer?
Please reply ASAP,
Thanks

hi gurus,
please advise what are my options. I-140 is pending and i have 9th year H1-B expiring Dec 2009. still working for same company. in case I-140 stays pending up to December 2009. what should i do to stay in status.
thanks in advance.
My 9th year H1B will expire in two days. My I-140 is still pending with TSC. I've sent my papers for H1B renewal. Hoping to get an extension till March 2010.
Hang on...I-140 approval is the key for 3 year H1B extension and 2 year EAD extension.

The information that is provided in this post is relevant as of Friday May 15, 2009. This is coming from our local AILA chapter Chair.
As many of our readers know, at the conclusion of the Marriage based adjustment of status interview, the immigration officer, upon approval, used to stamp the immigrant's passport with the I-551 (Green Card) stamp. This used to be an immediate proof that the case was approved and the applicant could work and travel using this stamp. As the actual production of the Green Cards became so fast, the practice of stamping applicants' passports stopped as well in most states across the nation.
It seems that things are changing, hence the recent notice from USCIS. According to the notice we received, the Green Card Facility in KY is undergoing renovation. USCIS' card production capability will be reduced over the next several months. They will expand the use of ADIT Temporary Green Card stamps as temporary evidence of LPR status.
The Stamps will be valid for 12 months (previously only 30 days validity was given). Work permits and travel documents (advance paroles) will be collected at the interview from the clients. The stamp will be the only proof of work and travel authorization in such cases. It looks like this policy will continue for the next 6-12 months. This is a nationwide policy and is not taking place only in San Diego.
We will keep you posted with more information as it becomes available.

Looks like I am the only one in this situation... rough!
No my friend , you are not alone here.
My employer did not allow us to file EAD and AP for employees. Only for spouse) and I was wondering if I can file myself. But I don't think we can do it without a receipt notice.
As far as new fee structure is concerned, we'll be better off paying the new fee compared to the old fee and attorney fee combined.

Transit Visa is Not Required in Frankfurt. Infact I had renewed passport with all pages blank. At the transit one officer asked me On what Visa are you travelling to US?
I said I have Advance Parole.That's all. The Officers are nice and friendly. They know it.
Infact I visited German Consulate at BOSTON before travelling. The Consulate General was extreemly good and told me "Not to waste money on transit visa"

Hello,
Can any of you throw some light on these
To my understanding, if one is maxing out 6 years of H-1B visa on Nov 30, 2009 and doesn't have a way of extending to the 7th year H-1B.Then he has to stay physically outside of USA for 1 year.
1.Does 1 year stay have to be in the home country only?
2.Can one come and visit USA for a month[June 2010] or so between Nov30,09 and Nov 30,2010.[Eg: Conference, interview]?
3.If answer is yes to 2, would one have to stay for another 1 year away from July 2010? or they can come back to US during Dec 2010, if they have a new H-1B job?
Inputs appreciated.
Thanks

We have come to a point where lot of friends would be joining us. I would encourage all of DC/MD/VA members to open their houses to host or support financially or donate miles or do anything that would minimize the expenses for our fellow friends and make them welcome.
More than that I would like to emphasize that we need to participate in large numbers volunteering and make this event a grand success.

Every week 100 to 200 new H1b applications were submited. If it goes in this rate H1b quota will last whole year. It is a good development,
As of May 29, 2009, approximately 45,800 H-1B cap-subject (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html)petitions and approximately 20,000 petitions qualifying for the advanced degree cap exemption had been filed. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.
Since it is probable that there will still be H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) numbers available after June 30, U.S. employers should submit H-1B petitions for potential workers as soon as possible.

Hi all,
I have a simple problem but can't get an anwer at the consulate because the person who's name is on the website to call is unbelievably rude even when I was very polite in asking 2 questions and calling him 'sir' all the time :(
I got my renewed passport yesterday and it doesn't contain my husband's name in the spousal name areal. So the problem is this:
1. I have applied for an H4 visa and I sent a copy of that application along as they requested.
2. All my proofs of residence were based on my marriage as the utility bill is in his name so there could be no confusion about the fact that I am married and the name of my spouse.
3. My address in India has been stated as my husband's address already but his name is not on the passport - is this really a problem?
4. I don't want to face any trouble when traveling as I'll be on an H4 with a passport that doesn't have hubby's name on it.
My question is:
1. Do I need to send anything else to them other than my new passport, an attested copy of my marriage certificate, and a $20 check for the return express mail?
2. Does the Washington DC consulate have an email address where I can submit a query as the two people listed on the website to call for passport problems do not seem to want to talk to anyone?
3. Can I possibly call the Chicago or SFO consulates to ask my questions as they seem to be better people (my hubby and brother got theirs renewed in these places)?
Please help!
Thanks.

Hi:
Me and my husband left US on AP, which is valid until nxt year. We both were working on valid H1's until we left. We dont want to go for stamping and will use AP on our arrival at the POE. We havent applied for EAD when we left. Is it Ok for us to apply for EAD once we are back in US or is it ok to apply for H1's again once we r back. In both cases whether we go for h1 or EAD, can we start wroking rt a way or do we need approval first.
Thanks.

In CIR 2007 (S.1348) Title V, subtitle B is skill act of 2007 SEC.524 says about people with masters and higher degrees will not be counted against the numerical caps. This says it is amending Section 201(b)(1) (8 U.S.C. 1151(b)(1)) which is about the numerical caps. As this is in the section of backlog reduction does this mean that those who already are in the process and is backlogged will be given green cards out the numerical cap?

If you have a job, getting a work permit will take only 4 hrs inside the consulate. No line. Give the passport and come back within 4 hrs to collect it.
No labor certification for computer(s/w for sure, dunno about h/w side for sure) professionals or petition. Need to show offer letter from the company and letter from company to the consulate.
1. Post on canadian job sites with local canadian address
2. get an interview call, canadian employers do not do interviews over phone like in the US. They ask for personal appearances.
3. If you land the job get an offer letter
4. Take the offer letter to the CCanadian embassy and get a work visa.
5. Once you enter Canada apply for Permanent residency.
cheers

Apparently, no movement for EB3 ROW from November 2006 - April 2007:
November - 2006: 01AUG02
April - 2007: 01AUG02
In May 2007, it jumped to 01AUG03. I hope that there will be a movement in Jan 2009, Feb 2009 VB but looking at the trends it doesn't smee like there will be any.
I thought they changed their mindset from having no movement most of the year then jumping ahead several years in the last quarter and playing catch up.. this is what got them the 07 fiasco
but apparently they are repeating the trend
this no movement for ROW makes no sense at all

I'm talking about post completion OPT - if you have ur EAD card, u can travel with a valid and current employment letter. When it's pre-completion OPT, u r on F1 anyways so u should get stamping...
