Would you be able to put me in touch with your friend, sweet jungle?
I am working on H1B, and am awaiting my 485, and waiting only to get my GC, to start my full time MBA.
I did not know it was possible to do what your friend did - and I am VERY interested to know more details, so that I can see if I can do the same!
Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestions, I am sure IV-Core will note them.
Did you send out letters to the WH + IV?
The recapturing of numbers does not need legislation, it can be done by administrative intervention.
PLEASE SEND YOUR LETTERS!

You have to use I-824 if you change the consulate, if it is a consular case. If your I-94 is extended within america, there is no need. However because of PIMS, it is better to initiate a I-824 and get confirmation before proceeding for stamping. It is better to check your lawyer to get the right legal advise.
Guys,
I had applied for my original H1 in London, First extension in Vienna Austria, and the last one in Delhi... and when i went to Delhi Embassy site - Since I was an H1-b holder already working in USA I had the option to apply at any consular office in India... I chose Delhi and will do it again in Dec at Delhi...
In short - unless is consular processing you can choose any consulate/embassy you want provided you have a reason to be there in that country... I think Mexico and Canada are exceptions to that rule as well...
Hope this helps

The officer who interviewed you was absolutely incorrect. If you have maintained valid H-1B status you are NOT required to obtain an Advance Parole in order to travel without abandoning your AOS application.The following text from the USCIS Adjudicator's Field Manual makes this clear:
__________________________________________________ ______________
USCIS Adjudicator’s Field Manual, Chapter 23.2
…….(2) Exceptions to the General Rule .
Certain applicants for adjustment of status before USCIS are not considered to have abandoned their applications simply by having departed from the U.S., even if they did not obtain an advance parole prior to their departure. The following aliens fall within the exceptions to the general rule:
(A) H and L Nonimmigrants with “Dual Intent.”
Under 8 CFR 214.2(h)(16)(i) and 8 CFR 214.2(l)(16) , H-1B, H-1C, L-1A, and L-1B nonimmigrants, and their dependent family members in H-4 or L-2 nonimmigrant classification, may be eligible to maintain and extend their nonimmigrant status while their applications for permanent residence under section 245 of the Act remain pending. The approval of a labor certification or preference visa petition or the filing of an adjustment of status application may not be the basis for a denial of an application for extension of stay by an H-1B, H-1C, or L-1 nonimmigrant or an application for change of status within the H-1B, H-1C, or L-1 classifications.
As long as an H-1B, H-1C, and L-1 nonimmigrant remains compliant with his or her nonimmigrant classification, including restrictions on periods of stay, changes in employers, and conditions of employment, the mere fact that he or she has filed an application for adjustment of status does not render him or her ineligible for an extension of nonimmigrant status. Similarly, the mere fact than an alien has filed an application for adjustment of status does not make him or her ineligible for nonimmigrant classification as an H-1B, H-1C, or L-1.
Under 8 CFR 245.2a(4)(ii)(C) , H-1/H-4 or L-1/L-2 nonimmigrant adjustment of status applicants who are not in exclusion, deportation, or removal proceedings are not required to seek advance parole to travel abroad. They may be readmitted to the United States in the same status they maintained at the time of their departure, provided that they are able to demonstrate to the immigration officer at a port of entry that they:
• remain eligible for H-1/H-4 or L-1/L-2 classification,
• are in possession of a valid H-1/H-4 or L-1/L-2 nonimmigrant visa (if a visa is required), and
• are coming to resume employment with the same employer for whom they had been authorized to work as an H-1 or L-1 nonimmigrant (or, in the case of dependents, the spouse or parent through whom they received their H-4 or L-2 status is maintaining his or her H-1 or L-1 status).
If there has been a recent change of employer or extension of stay, the applicant, in order to comply with the third requirement noted above, must have evidence of an approved I-129 petition in the form of a notation on the nonimmigrant visa indicating the petition number and the employer’s name, or a notice of action, Form I-797, indicating approval.
__________________________________________________ _______________________________________________As you can see, there is no requirement that the AOS application be employment based. The regulation, 8 CFR 245.2a(4)(ii)(C) clearly applies to all H-1/H-4 and L-1/L-2 nonimmigrants, and not just those adjusting status based on employment.

Effective June 2007, any agreement relating to recovering immigration fees from employees, or asking them to work for specific period after getting GC, are illegal. You can find details on the following link.

Thats interesting...will this new law cover agreement signed before 2007?

Those who want to send flowers to Condi and those who do not.
There is quite a number of people, who do not feel that this is "over-doing"
Lets stop discussing and fix the date (7/17 is good enough) and send it
If you think that this a bad idea, we respect your views and you may not send
How do convert this thread into the poll

20k quota for 80k foreign students?? Where do the rest go?
Most students apply under the regular quota to make sure they have a visa after their OPT...
One can apply under the 20k quota only when they have the degree. Many students postpone their graduation and directly get into the regular H1b pool

AJ,
Thanks for the offer. I am not sure if I have permission to shoot any thing on a federal govt agency premises, but will do my best. My sources tell me that some main stream media will cover it. For us to be able to make a good impact, we need to have people there.
As USCIS announced about forwarding Flowers to Hospitals , some one can go to those hospitals and cover that.

three words dude:
FIRE YOUR LAWYER:D
seriously,
you can apply for h1-b for 3 years after i-140 gets approved if you are from oversubscribed countries. in the cover letter to USCIS for the h1 extension, ask them to refer to rule #104 (or something) of USCIS which allows you to file the extension after six years.
do a google search on rule 104 or somebody else can help you out with this
Hello,
My apologies upfront if I am posting this in the wrong thread.
I am currently working on an H1B which expires in Jan 08. My question is regarding H1B extension beyond the 6yr limit. Is it possible to get an extension for my H1B (7.5 yrs completed) even after having filed my I-485 (I was able to file 485 in July of this year)?
As per my lawyer, if for some reason, my EAD renewal next year is delayed or the new card not delivered on time, I will not be allowed to work though I will not be illegal. Keeping this in mind, and also after reading numerous posts online, I got my HR to give the nod for the H1 renewal. My lawyer replied today saying that we cannot get an H1 extension as my 485 is filed and 140 cleared.
I was under the impression that I would be allowed to get the H1B renewed for another year. What are the rules / regulations on this. If someone can pls update me.
Thank you.

My GC status is as follows
I-140 - approved

HI , first of all thank you for spending some time on my problem.
But my dependants are in " X " location only . we are meeting each other by travelling . my dependants are receiving all invoices. Thats the reason i got this question. please suggest me. THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE.
Your statements seem to contradict. I thought you mentioned earlier that you moved to "Y" location. Are you saying that you live in "Y" location and your dependents live in "X" location and you travel to meet each other on weekends ? If you maintain two residences then you probably dont have to file a change of address.
I find it pretty odd though, most people dont maintain multiple residences.

both the parties have decided not to touch immigration at all this year (till elections) they have decided against any increase in any numbers (h1b's, GC's) etc, so much so that the senate are requesting chertoff (homeland security secretary) to increase the OPT time for international student to 2.5 years so they can temp overide the h1b jam.

I don't mean to hijack the thread and my PD is 2010 anyway but I have a question also.
We know that we need to get all this vaccination thing done during 485 stage and a civil surgeon does that. But do we need to get all this done/verified at our regular physician before we go to the civil surgeon?
All of us have these polio, measles thing done but we don't have a record to show. So does the doc give us new/follow up shots to fulfill the criteria...and we take that to the civil surgeon.
looks like the civil surgeon is just a stamping authority, the real deal has to be done by our doc. Please let me know.

35-45k Euros is 45-58USD
taxes are 30-35%
Rent is 900Euros (Thats a lot)
No familiar contingetnt :(
No savings, no fun.
I am not saying you shouldnt look into other options, but this doesnt sound rosy to me.
Belgians enjoy one of the best quality of life in the world, job security, social security and free healthcare for life. Jobs are plenty and EU is a big job market specially when you can pick up some basic language skills (French or Dutch).
Belgium and EU countries in general have good labor laws which protect an employee. Its not easy for a European employee to be fired as in the US. I remember a French guy who worked in my office back in 2002 and was fired because of cost-cutting. His 10 year stint with the company brought him 50,000 Euros in settlemet (That's about 7-10% of salary for each year he worked for the company). The best part was he ended up in a new job within a month.
Unlike US you are certain to become a "permanent resident" after 5 years of stay on a work permit which in turn provides lot more opportunities in the long run. Not a bad option to consider specially when you compromise a little on the pay.

First thing to do is to correct the I-94. You can go to any International airport and do it.
You need to show the documents.
I appreciate the input above. I am getting ready to apply for her AP now held off for all these months. The change between then and now is she has gained an extension for H4 status for the next 3 years. With this change will her class of admission on AP application be H4-B or something else? If something else then will it be LPR or AP in the Class of Admission field on the form? She does not have a valid H4 visa just an extension of H4 for 3 more years based on my H1 extension and has not left the country since the last time when the CBP mistakenly assumed that she is a resident. Your help will be appreciated.
