Hi
You may already be knowing this. But a note of caution, after hearing few horror stories on H4 going out of status involuntarily.
Extension of renewal on H1 does not mean H4 is automatically renewed. Your new H1b is valid until 2009. Unless you have filed I-539 along with your H1b renewal application, your wife is not going to get new I-94. So if her I-94 is expiring december 2007, she will be out of status after that date, not withstanding your H1B validiity.
It doesnt matter if her visa stamp has your latest employer listed. The single most important thing that will determine her legal status is the validity of I-94 stamp

Hi,
My company is closing offices and we all will be working from home. My I140 is cleared and I am in process of extending my H1 which expires in june 09.company has no office at india.
I want to know for how long I can work from India on H1 being on US payrole? The
Not sure as to "how long" but AFAIK , but when a person doesnt work in the same location as mentioned in LCA of H1B, an amendment needs to be filed. I would talk to a reliable attorney.

Can you provide some more information on the AILA liaison meetings? Excuse my ignorance but I have never heard of it before.
Can we ask AILA to support the letter campaign? Specifically, can we ask AILA to push for recapturing 218K unused visas and clarification on how they might be allocated, if recaptured?
Thanks!
It is my understanding that these liaison meetings are to discuss specific administrative and procedural issues at the service centers (not to discuss major reform). To get an idea of the topics covered see http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?bc=6721|6727
The docs themselves are available to AILA members only but you can see the topics discussed.
So to the extent that you have specific questions about the adjudication process itself you can send them to an AILA member and ask them to submit those questions to the AILA Liaison committee which may or may not choose to ask that question in the liaison meeting with USCIS -- each session has specific sub topics so they don't address every question out there.
Recapture and other major changes to the law are likely handled by other committees at AILA.

is this is right?
-> H1 (797 approval notice) is valid
-> you enter USA on AP, you will get AOS status.
-> H1 is still valid but unusable as the status is AOS.
-> If anything happens to GC processing then you loose status, H1 will NOT become a backup.
-> The only way you change from AOS to visa status is by renewing your H1 or change jobs with H1 ( or reenter USA on H1 Visa ).
PS : I understand , H1 ( 791 approval notice ) and H1Visa are different.

hi, based on my wife's experience(for H4 based on my H1B) they didn't give the I-94 valid till the full 3 years. They rather gave only for 2 years. Hence saying so.
Yah, may be yours is a peculiar case. But it won't happen like that always. If it happens to be like that, then you can ask the officer right away to give it to my the end date there on latest approval. Sometimes they are lazy, try to give to the date there on visa stamp only. But if you insist and show the latest approval, then will do it or if he/she can check other officers there and give it to the end date there on latest approval. It all depend on us and we need to check it properly and make sure that they are putting correct info.
For one of my friend, they gave few more days after the date on approval. So, they can put any date on I-94, if they want to. There is nothing wrong. It is upto the Port of entry officer.

My 485 app was received on July 18 at NSC, no checks cashed yet. EAD/ AP recieved on Aug 10 at NSC, got RN for EAD and AP. Is there a possibility of getting EAD card, even if 485 was not filed? One of my freinds was under the same situation, and she and her spouse got the EAD from TSC, without 485 filing.

I wanted to share this with all of you. This is my attorney & friends (who is American) thoughtful response to a thread below :-
************************************************** *********
Donna:
What is the source of your facts about immigrants?? Immigrants also pay A LOT into the
system
MOST "IMMIGRANTS" AS YOU SO LOVINGLY CALL US, ARE LAWFULLY IN
THE UNITED STATES (BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!!) AND THEY ALL WORK A LOT
HARDER THAN MANY AMERICANS ARE WILLING TO WORK!!!!
MANY MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ARE PAID INTO THE SYSTEM BY
THEM EACH YEAR. THOSE HERE ILLEGALLY NEVER HAD, AND NEVER WILL
HAVE THE RIGHT, TO GET ANY OF THE MONEY BADK - EVEN WHEN THEY
HAVE REFUNDS DUE THEM. THE IRS JUST K E E P S IT F O R E V E R AND
IT, HOPEFULLY, GOES TO AMERICANS WHO ARE NOT IMMIGRANTS!!!
GREEN CARD HOLDERS (ALSO "IMMIGRANTS") HAVE WORKED HARDER THAN
AMERICANS DO - AS I MENTIONED AND THEY ARE CLEARLY ENTITLED TO GET
THE BENEFITS THEY HAVE EARNED.
DO YOU FOR ONE MOMENT THINK THAT THE SSA WILL GIVE THE ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANT ANY SOCIAL SECURITY?!!????
NEVER HAPPEN - NEVER HAS HAPPENED!!!! IF THEY FALSIFY INFO TO ANY
GOVERNMENT AGENCY - THEY WILL NECESSARILY GET CAUGHT GO STRAIGHT
TO FEDERAL PRISON FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS AND THEN GET DEPORED. THIS HAS
BEEN THE LAW FOR DECADES AND IT IS ENFORCED!!!!
EVEN THE LEGAL IMMIGRANTS HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT GETTING THE
SSA THAT IS DUE THEM. THEY GET CHEATED BY THE SSA EVEN MORE THAN
US CITIZENS DO IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF SSA DAILY STEALING OPERATIONS
- IF THEY LEAVE THE COUNTRY FOR TOO LONG (FOR EXAMPLE IF A PARENT GETS
SICK AND THEY HAVE TO GO AND TAKE CARE) THEY JUST L O O S E ALL
THEIR BENEFITS PERMANENTLY - EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY HAVE BEEN BEEN
HERE AND WORKED FOR MORE YEARS THAN MOST AMERICANS DO. THIS
KIND OF DISCRIMINATORY CONDUCT BY GOVERNMENT AGAINST LAWEUL
PERMANENT RESIDENTS HAVE CONSISTENTLY BEEN HELD TO BE CONSTITUTIONAL
BY THE SUPREME COURT EVEN EVEN THOUGH IT IS CLEARLY UNFAIR. THESE
BENEFITS CAN BE REFUSED VERY EASILY FOR THE LEGAL RESIDENTS WHO
WORKED HAS DOUBLE AND TRIPLE JOBS FOR FIFTY OR MORE YEARS.
WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS? YOU GIVE THE ANSWER!!!
LIGHTEN UP AND LEARN THE REAL FACTS.
ALL IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT ILLEGAL. IN FACT, MOST IMMIGRANTS ARE
LEGAL AND WORK THREE AND FOUR JOBS - DO YOU WANT TO WORK SO
HARD?? HE..- NO!!!!!
PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW SO THAT THEY CAN BE
EDUCATED ABOUT ANOTHER MORE FACTUAL ASPECT OF THE MATTER.
THANK YOU, DONNA.

Subject: Social Security Insult
This is an insult and a kick in the butt to all of us...
Get mad and pass it on - I don't know how, but maybe some good
will come of this travesty.
If the immigrant is over 65, they can apply for SSI and Medicaid and get
more than a woman on Social Security, who worked from 1944 until 2004.
She is only getting $791 per month because she was born in 1924 and
there's a 'catch 22'.
It is interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee
with a monthly allowance of $1,890. Each can also obtain an
additional $580 in social assistance, for a total of $2,470 a month.
This compares to a single pensioner, who after contributing to
the growth and development of America for 40 to 50 years, can only
receive a monthly maximum of $1,012 in old age pension and
Guaranteed Income Supplement.
Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!
Consider sending this to all your American friends, so we can all be
ticked off and maybe get the refugees cut back to $1,012 and the
pensioners up to $2,470. Then we can enjoy some of the money we were
forced to submit to the Government over the last 40 or 50 or 60 years.
Please forward to every American to expose what our elected politicians
have been doing over the past 11 years - to the over-taxed American.

Yes, you are right partially.. only if we over do it.
This is not over doing... This is just to keep up the momentum... dont want to loose it.
I disagree...I think our next steps should be letters/webfaxes/phone calls to senators and Congressmen/women.
The reason why the flower protest news gained some legs was because it was unique. Lets not over do things. Now that we have somewhat of the media coverage, especially in NY times & Washington Post, we should write letters to senators/congress and request assistance.

I would agree.
it is not advisable to leave US while your extension is being processed. I would suggest waiting for it to get approved and then schedulingan appointment (in India) or in canada before leaving for india and get the new visa stamped.

You changed on h1b transfer right? not on EAD?
I am just curious if a new employer can keep extending h1b based on previous employers I140 (and the fact that 180 days have passed since 485).
thanks

Hi,
My H1-B Transfer has applied on 08-05-2010 in Premium Processing in California Center. I have not yet recieved any receipt until now (11 calendar days have passed; 7 working days). I asked the HR people of the company and they said usually it takes some time to get the receipt number. I am worried because it has already 11 calendar days and did not get any receipt number even though it is premium processing. Should I ask attorney to check with USCIS regarding my status of the petition? Are there any delays right now in the processing times in California Center? Is there any way that I can check my H1-B Transfer status with out having the reciept number? Should I ask the Attorney to contact the USCIS office?
By the way Attorney told that I can work for this company (who filed my transfer petition) as I got my LCA and right now I am working with this company.
Please throw some light on my case...
Thank you very much.
I also want to know if it is ok to join the new employer after the H1b transfer request has been fedexed? or should i wait for the Receipt?

wow ! this is a strong case, after 6 month is over, you can easily file lawsuit on him, consequences can be real harsh on him, he can barred from filing any more h1s, greencard, maylose business license and thousand of dollars for stress and blackmailing ! hey speak to your lawyer after AC21 kicks in !
I am too in same boat, just numbers here and there. Infact my employer has done this to all his guys. He is minting... man!!! yours is atleast asking for contract, mine just said give me flat cash, n no paperwork. he says he will return, but you know who returns.
also he changed name of the company and so all the approved 140s has to be reapproved so all are again stuck.
