Hi,
I 've applied for my H1 extension in August 2009 (Just two weeks before my previous I-94 was expiring), after a month I have been facilitated with RFE for client letter. As usually my client denied providing me a letter and told me to contact primary vendor for any of this kind. Finally got a letter from primary vendor with roles and responsibilities of mine with very extended duration. RFE was answered with the primary vendor letter, and after couple weeks extension was denied.
Now my previous H1 got expired two months back, initially my employer told me that he will open MTR but attorney suggested that chances of MTR success is less and asked to file new application for extension. Another application (premium) was filed within 2 weeks of first application denial and after couple weeks my extension was approved.
1. will the period between initial H1 expirey date and approval of 2nd application for extension considered as "out of status" ?
2. Had to visit india and need to go for stamping, how is mexico in my case?
3. I heard that due to not having an entry in PIM, applications are kept pending for 4 to 6 days in india with 221g. How about mexico, will it be same?
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
I've been working on EAD for about 4 years now as priority dates are backed up a lot. My I-140 has been approved in 2007 and still waiting on I-485 to get approved. My current employer is not my original sponsor. I changed jobs after the "180 days post I-485 receipt" policy. Now, I'm interested to accept an offer (similar job) in another state. How will this affect my I-485 if I'm changing employers for the 3rd time and this time, at another state?
Thank you very much.
In EAD, there is no restriction on the number of times you can change the job and also in what state you are employed (could be different from the one your labor was filed), provided the new job is in same or similar category.
In your case (moving to a difrerent state), chance of getting RFE for EVL is high. So make sure that the new employer can provide a EVL stating that the new job is in the same or similar category as your old one (for which the labor got approved).
Other than that, you should be fine...
BTW, dont forget to file AR-11 within 10 days of your change of address.

After a long journey on several non immigrant visa's my GC finally got approved. The questions that I would like to throw out for the group to think on is regarding the period for which one has to keep all the H1/H4 approval notices and supporting documents?
In my case, I have been here for 10 years and have a 15 pound folder that has all the approval notices (I-797) and supporting documents (copies of I-129, transcripts, everything under the sun)
I would hate to have to carry this for the rest of my life.
Lawyers - Your legal opinion would provide relief to my aching shoulders :)
you will need to keep them until you are naturalized. scan them and keep digital copies in a handy location, while you store these originals somewhere in the basement.

Hello Friends,
I have today booked my visa interview appointment at Mumbai consulate.My hometown is Indore (Madhya Pradesh) and on the visa appointment letter the "State of Residence" says "Maharashtra". I am confused whether I made any mistake or the "state of Residence" says maharashtra based on consulate's state?
Please help me getting answer to this puzzle.

Hi,
My employer terminated my employment Last date of employment is May-7th. and he is keen on revoking my H1 by May-10th.
He says, Even after withdrawing H1 you can still able to transfer H1 to other employer.
So far i am not able to find other employer who can transfer my H1, and still in US.
1) How many days I can stay after H1 termination
2) Is it possible to transfer H1 after the withdrawal process initiation.
3) How much time does INS take to withdraw the H1
4) what possibility of rejecting my H1 if I submit my papers for H1 transfer after the revoke process initiation.
Please let me know do I have any other options.
Thanks
Rajesh

I heard that GC is for a future position. If this is the case, can labor, I-140 and I-485 be filed for a person and this person join the company after labor, I-140 and I-485 have been approved? The person will join the same position mentioned in the labor cert with salary >= the labor petition.

Hi Friends and Administrators,
I have a suggestion. I am sure the administrators here have much better ideas than mine but I would request administrators to please read this suggestion with an open mind. It might be useful for the community.
I am sure we have enough members working for big companies like Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Intel etc. The past experiences tell us that congress listens to these companies more than us even if we are making a valid point on the legal immigration issues. The irony here is that these companied care for H1 visa expansion not green card quota expansion. These big companies do not realize the benefit of green card quota expansion to them.
Let me prove how. A large proportion of the immigration community is working for small companies as consultants. Their immigration status makes changing jobs very difficult. Now I am sure if the people stuck in GC process get there GC thousands of people will not be forced to work for consultant companies and will look for permanent jobs. And these big companies are sitting on the top of the most desired companies to work for. These thousands of consultants will be more than happy to work for these big companies after they get there GC.
My point here is that if we can have these Companies speak for us, our voices can be heard by congress.
How this can be done: If immigrants working for these companies as consultants or permanent can start a chain of email and send a signed copy with hundred of signatures to the management, management might think of putting these points across to congress.
The contents of this email should be simple and achievable. Like
1. Recapture of unused Visas.
2. Get rid of the country quota. (This one is difficult but very beneficial).
3. Except US graduates form quota. (This one is controversial in IV community, but if US graduates are out of the quota every one is benefited. US graduates will be benefited more, but others will be benefited because there will be less number of people to share the quota. I mention this one because this point can get big support for the universities also, and I am sure congress does not ignore a voice coming form the universities.
About increasing the quota it is difficult and will not help much if the country quota is still exists.
If the email submitted to the management contain thousands of signatures from immigrants working for here company and people who support these immigrants in the company management and people like Bill Gates might talk to the congress to hemp us.
May be it is 2 cents suggestion but I would like the administrators to think out it with a open mind.
Thanks,

Receipting update is just a reference.
My applications reached NSC 6 months ago on July 9th.
I have no receipts and checks were not cashed.
As per IO's my name is not in the system.
Check this thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14402).
Good luck!
Did you contact them?What did they say?Did you receive any EAD or AP because some people receive those even before getting receipt numbers???

I applied my 485 as a single on July 17th.
I got married and then applied my spouse's on Aug 16th.
Since I am married now, will that cause my application to get rejected as I applied as Single.
I am not sure how would this be handled at USCIS end ?
Any idea ?

I have just received the following email:
*** DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL ***
The last processing action taken on your case
Receipt Number: SRCxxxxxxxxxx
Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production
On August 9, 2010 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.
Does this mean that I-140 was also approved? I'm looking online and it's says "Initial Review"... Actually this is the only one that have changed, all other documents for both me and my wife are still at the previous LUD!
P. S. This looks and sounds weird for me, especially that I have the biometrics appointment on 09/02/2010. I think it's a mistake... Please advise!

Hi All,
I would like my parents and my younger brother who is in his engineering college 2 nd yr to visit me on visitor visa. My father is a government emoployee with more than a yr job left, my mother has retired last yr and my brother has still 2yrs left for his engineering.
1. Do you think they should raise any objection for my brother getting a tourist visa ?
2. Should my brother's case affect my parent's case as well? I think given my father is a govt employee in India, that should work in his favor? Any thoughts.
Thanks in advance,

eb2waiter,
senthil1 has a very good answer, now if you are asking for the specific date, no one can answer your question...
better pray for the CIR to be passed first.
then get a comfortable chair and wait for the 20+ millions illegals to get ahead of you in the queue
