Hello,
I have recently moved from Company A(where I worked for 6 years of which last 4 years was in US on H1B) to Company B(working here for 6 months). My H1B transfer is complete but my VISA needs stamping. I need to travel to UK for 2-3 days next week.
Am I eligible to get the Visa stamping done in London? If so, is this a high risk option? How do you compare the risk of the option with the risk of alternate in making a trip to India from UK to get my Visa stamped? Does the fact that my current job is with a smaller(200 to 500 employees) IT consulting firm add to the risk significantly?
Do you think it is possible to get stamping dates around Dec 12-13?
In case VISA gets rejected in UK, what are the chances I can go back to India and get it stamped after that? And how long will that take on average?
Thanks much for your time.

We got our EAD cards today.
We had gone for FP on Sept 19th and saw LUDs on Sep 20th on our I-485s. But the EAD cards came without our fingerprints. EAD cards came from the same Service center (Nebraska) where the FP notices came from. So wondering, how they did not include our fingerprints in the EAD card?? I had also checked with FBI helpline two weeks back and verified that the FPs were delivered to USCIS.
Anybody else in similar situation?

When you did your FP, for what particular benefit it was intended? Was it strictly for 485 or was it combined for 485 and 765? If it was just for 485 - why do you expect it appear on your 765 and EAD card? As far as it known, 485 and 765 are complete different things and not related to each other in any way. Didn't you know that?

Click on it and you will get the tracker.
Hope this helps.

Sorry to tell you!!! you cannot work without you receiving EAD approval.
Hello all,
My EAD expired in late April
Prior to that, I applied for renewal but my old lawyer forgot to either include something with the application or made a typo, and it bounced back a few days ago (late May).
I got a new laywer to re-file the EAD, however I will not get my new one in time to start my post-college job in early July, as the process takes around 90 days from what I remember.
If I show up to the first day with a filing receipt, a written letter from the new lawyer explaining what happened, and my old EAD, will I not get the job?
How do employers handle something like this?
Thank you in advance for any help.

My birth was regiestered under totally different first name, also DOB is off by 9 days (10th June instead of 1st June). Since the birth is registered they are not issueing non-availability cert. . What to do?
I have both parents affidavits, school leaving cert, 10th class cert, PAN card showing date/place same as that in passport. Filing a civil case in India is the option but it could take more than a year. since my PD is Sep04, my 485 could be processed within months.
and post your question in the birth certificate thread that is already up and running. We have too many threads with the same information and just adds to the confusion.
thank you

I am suggesting we should write to White House and to the Ben Bernanke in Mass and draw their attention towards a million people waiting for their green cards, logically they should have already got it(10 years waiting is illogical) but if USCIS use Visa recapture these people can get green cards and green cards to these people means a million new house buyers in the market new cars buyers etc etc. Everybody is going to get green card one day, why not now..That will help bail out the housing market. I'm sure it'll strike a cord with the lawmakers as it will benefit them politically....

Hello,
how is it possible to change jobs while the GC application is pending (part of the July 07 madness). Supposedly there is the AC21 form, is there an example how this form should be filled, and what other documents should be included? How long does it take to approve? (for driver's license, traveling, etc.). Does it have to be filed with H1B extension?
The new job offer is 25% pay increase, otherwise very similar, could that be a problem?
It depends on what your status is and which stage of the immigration process you are stuck in.........
As the other member pointed out, you could ask the attorney - IV holds these calls free every week...

Not a lawyer- but my guess is that the date of validity on your H1b (First H1) is the day you can start counting your 6 years. This is regardless of when you started working for your employer.
Example: Employer sponsored H1 for Mr.X on April 2nd 2005. H1 approved with validiity starting 1st oct 2005. Mr. X flew to the USA in december 2005. Started working 15th jan 2006. The 6 years are counted from 1st Oct 05.
Now one can recapture all the months that the employee was on vacation. But I am not sure if this is still an option.
The six year count starts from the day you entered the US first. If you take the above example, six year count starts from December 2005. Additionally, if there is gap from the time you entered and started working that period is considered out of status, that's all together different issue.

My mother-in-law would like to get visitor visa.
How do I answer #37 of the DS-156?
The applicant's (my mother-in-law) son( my husband) is in the U.S. illegally. I am US cit. and my husband needs to report to visa interview within the next year. We have been post-poning due to medical issues. In the meanwhile we hope my mother-in-law can come here to visit her granddaughter.( I am unable to travel). #37 of the DS-156 asks if any body is in US. We should answer YES, because her son is here, BUT, what do we put for his status? Illegal? I read one article that stated to mark YES only if he has legal status. I do not want to put NO, immigration already knows he is here and we do not want to be dishonest.
Any ideas?

In the last few days there is little news/action about STRIVE act. When this act was proposed all of us got excited and promised to each other to do everything to make it a success. Some of us did make phone calls to lawmakers (as per IV directions) but after that everything seems cooled down. Why are we losing our focus now?
Yes the new Senate bill S.1035 (tightening H1B program) might have put some doubts in our minds; but can we continue our efforts on STRIVE and deal with S.1035 thru amendments when it comes to discussion. Discussion about S.1035 on our forum is fine and in fact we might have to do that to figure out how bad/good it is our specific issues. But in the meantime we have to continue our efforts on STRIVE act too.

Call your lawmaker drive ended on 6th April. Today is 9th April.
The next step was to schedule a meeting with our lawmakers. Many people are doing that. Did you try doing that?
In addition, today President Bush renewed call for immigration reform. Things will happen before the Summer break.

I think once you are in AOS pending , I-94 will not come into play.....
It will be great if IV can collect all these questions and submit to USICS for a complete FAQ on their website.

Since you are in H1B the employer would book your ticket to US and secondly, if in any case if you have to go back the employer would give you a return ticket back. That's what most of the employers do.
After reaching US, be active in IV forums as well as join the state chapter.
All the best.

I'm coming to the US for the first time on H1B. Do I need a one way or a return ticket? My travel agent told me that since I have a multiple entry visa (expiring on Oct 2011) a return ticket is not required unless I need to travel back home within one year. Could someone with knowledge about this issue help me out. I would really appreciate a reply from someone who recently landed in the US on H1B.

Hi,
I will be grateful if anyone can give me advice about this situation:
I was on H1B for company A. I got an offer from company B last week and I just visit POE to get the TN visa
with new I-94 card. My TN support letter and offer letter clearly state my first date for company B is
09/07/2010, that is, 2 weeks from now.
The problem is that I assumed I could still work for company A(my H1B sponsor) for another two weeks, so, I
planned to let my employer know the coming Monday, to fulfill my 2 weeks notice advance promise in the next
two-week time. However, I heard that my H1B would be void as soon as I got my TN visa, is that true?
That is, will the status change(from H1B to TN) start from the time I got the TN visa at POE(09/22/2010),
or from the time I start my new work for company B on 09/07/2010? Is the H1B visa still valid for me to
work for company A for another two weeks before I start my new work?
If my H1B visa really became invalid at this time, I will have to tell my manager at company A the true and
appologize for that, although I feel very bad about that. If not, I worry I would be caught by the
government and charged for illegally work for two weeks, then I will be in big troubleshoot for further
immigration petitions(TN, H1B, even GC, etc.).
Please advise and if possible, please provide references with which I could show my H1B sponsor/employer.
Thank you very much!
