This is good news. Once Dream act for undocumented is out. Then they will take up bills for H1Bs.

Given that you filed in Dec 2002, it is very possible that your labor petition has already been certified or at least adjudicated.
You need to talk to your company/HR and get this resolved. Impress on them the importance of knowing the status of your petition.

I actually did get a H-1B extension once based on the fact that the spouse (also H-1B) had an approved I-140 priority date that was backlogged. It was an unusual approval, and surprised the other attorneys (including partners) where I was working. It's not guaranteed, but worth a try if there is no other option to work.
wow! thank you - this is really helpful.
My spouse is still on h1b and we will definitely try for this. Do you think the extension would be affected by the priority date (higher chances of approval if severely retrogressed) - or if theres something like a memo/ruling/logic for the approval, or is it just random chance?
Also in case the motion is declined, does it lead to a future (negative) impact on either a fresh h1b filing, or green card application or such?
Thank you!

Hi,
I am a green card holder via the DV program of 2007 and my husband is on student visa. We had entered US individually prior to our marriage. Our marriage took place back in Nepal in 2008 and considering the long waiting period for the dates to become current, I didn't file I-130 for my husband immediately after our marrigage thinking that we would wait for my citizenship. But now seeing the advancement in the current dates for Family based visa, I would like to file the I-130 for my husband. Please advise what my best bet would be? Wait until I get my citizenship or file now? Also if I file now, how long might it take for him to get his EAD and GC?
Can I file the I-130 form on my own for would need to get a lawyer for that. Currenlty we are in Seattle, Washington.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
What you did is a mistake. No need to wait for citizenship. You can upgrade the petition any time.
NOW FOR BRINGING SPOUSE FOR GC HOLDERS IS SIX MONTHS.
SO RUSH TO FILE I-130 FOR HIM. IF HE IS HERE, FILE I-485, WHEN THE DATE BECOME CURRENT (AFTER 6 MONTHS), OR GO FOR CONSULAR PROCESS. NO NEED FOR A LAWYER FOR FAMILY BASED FILING. DOWNLOAD I-130 FORM WITH INSTRUCTIONS, FILLUP AND SEND WITH MARRIAGE, BIRTH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS. IF YOU CAN READ AND WRITE ENGLISH, YOU CAN FILL IT AND SEND IT.

Whoever you choose, please do not go to Keshab Raj Seadie. His office is at 146 West 29th Street, NY. Phone: (212) 571-6002. Aptly named website: greencardmaker.com should be renamed greencardsucker.com
He is another worthless desi lawyer. Stay away from him! Only interested in taking your money. Poor service and once you have parted with your money good luck getting any timely response by phone or email. I have had very bad experience dealing with his office and don't be fooled by recommendations on his website saying he is very responsive etc.

Nothing to worry dude. Your wife is not out of status. Her I-94 is valid. No issues with 485.
You need to file for her extension for H4 with the new H1b so that she can continue her h4 status after sept.

Hi,
I have applied for I-140,I-485 and I-765 on 16th of Aug'07,dint get the receipt yet. I would be leaving to India this month and would return only in Feb'08.
My major concerns are:
1. once I get the notice for FingerPrints, can I reschedule it to Feb'08.
Is it advisable.
OR
2. Do I have an option of getting my FingerPrint done at any consulate in India.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Option 1
I am not sure that you would be allowed to do finger printing at American consulate in India.

I am not a lawyer but was involved in something similar.
C can take you to court and stop you from being hired by vendor. It will be very difficult for them to push for damages etc. but thye can bring a stop on your hiring.
If C is a small desi consultant the chances are dim he will come after you. But if he is reasonably sized with lawyers within the company, you mgiht get a notice. You can take a chance, but usually the lawyer fees etc might not be worth the effort.
Your other option is to have your vendor buy you out - which means the vendor pays an X amount to C, and that frees you up from any contracts/non-competes.
Good luck!

Yes it matters.
During my LCA my company moved 10 miles to another city which was in a different county and my attorney had to file for a new LC. In fact she also asked to mention any other location (like house if in different city) if that was applicable.
The main reason for that is salary level.
My company is in a different state. I am consulting and hence working in a different state. Do we specify the job location in PERM application ? If yes, does it matter that I am working at a different location ? I am working on applying PERM in EB-2. Thanks.

I applaud IV's core member's achievement so far. I have been participating from Sunjoshi's S1932 thread to ISNAmerica.org and finally was happy when I saw IV progressing.As busy professionals what IV's core member's have achieved is commendable.
Looking back @ S1932 and this comprehensive Immigration reform bill. I strongly feel that we should concentrate on backing a bill meant only for legal Immigration. Anti Illegal immigration forces, make no mistake are all anti legal Immigration too. So these folks make lot of noice and have found means like budget reconciliation and amnesty to block our reforms. Majority of Americans and the lawmakers are pro-Legal Immigration (We have seen this when Senator Byrd amendment was voted out when the senate was discussing S1932).It does not mean we should not take any part in Comprehensive Immigration reform or similar bills. In fact we should all still send faxes call lawmakers and be vocal as much as we can but the main
aim has to be a bill dealing with legal Immigration only. One Other point I would like to put forth is we should Initiate a "for Legal Immigration only" bill in the house first so will not be jubilant when it passes in senate and then go in depression when it fails in committee or the house. If Dem's come to power in the house the scenario is going to be very different after the November elections but for now this is all we can do for the few days remaining before the election.

I am a Spanish citizen and I am currently holding an F-1 visa with post-completion OPT that expires in 06/2011. I am working at a company in VA and I got married in Michigan to a US citizen in 09/2010.
My company is offering to sponsor me for an H1B visa in order to continue working here after 06/2011. I am also preparing all the paperwork to apply for a change of status to a green card through marriage (I-130/I-485). Can I submit the green card application at the same time as my company submits the H1B request?
Yes. They are independent.
I also have to travel outside the US on 05.2011. I know I would have to ask for advance parole in case of green card application or obtain an H1B visa stamp outside the US if the H1 has been processed.
You must have advance parole to travel abroad after you have applied for green card. If the green card is approved while you are abroad and you do not have AP, theoretically the green card is considered abandoned.
H1-B VISA is independent of green card. You can obtain an H1-B VISA in a consulate abroad after you have the I-797 (H1-B approval).
What is the best way to be able to travel abroad in these circumstances?

Join the DC Rally on Sept 18th.
with Presidential elections next year and new govt after that, there
is a greater chance that the legislative reform can happen only now
or after long time, may be like after 3 years. So act now or be
prepared to be in limbo for years ahead.
It is very important that we attened the rally and get ourselves out
of the probationary status that we are in. Probationary status both
in career and family life. The GC wait time could be 10
years if you have a PD of jan 2005 or later. Currently it looks like
we would be in this GC limbo for several more years unless we ACT NOW.
Imagine yourself living with the EAD/AP renewal, cannot really in all
trueness be able to work for and work on what you really want and
what your true potential is. Its just so nightmarish aaggghhh soooo
depressing... to remain in the same job designation and same
salary years ahead... for any person with self-esteem and self-
respect...
Lets get our Life back.
Are you not tired of this probationary life ? if you are tired of
AP/EAD renewals , If you have filed your 485 after 2-3 years of
wait , If you are stuck in FBI name check , if you are tired of
arbitraryness/randomness of USCIS's GC processing and approval...
This is the time to step up and help yourself.

Does emotional trauma and endless domestic disturbance of peace caused by years of waiting for the Priority dates to be current count?
Also who has to be the perpetrator of the severe violence? If an H1B beats up another H1B does that count? Or it only counts if a Citizen or GC holder beats u up? Now this is an important piece of information so that I know whom to ask to beat me up!!;)

You should join your state chapter through the IV forums. State Chapter volunteers should plan to contact local politicians and meet them face to face. Nothing is more powerful than visiting face to face and impressing upon politicians how important this issue is.
But again mailing is also a great idea. I have the following link for House Representatives who got elected recently:
