U r absolutely right........ i have heard ppl saying they are willing to transfer H-1B's but they say they wont process GC............. This is just un believable.......... I guess the whole idea is to recycle ppl after every 6 years..........
Hello,
Last 3-4 years after India and Chinese economy started booming I have seen that many Indian companies (Infy/wipro/pcs) do not apply for Green Cards for all thier US employees. They file GCs for KEY employees and marketing guys.
Most of the Software engineers work for 3,4,5 years and go back.
I recently read somewhere that Infy/wipro although applied for 20K H1 visas only applied for less than 100 GC last year.
Have you seen this trend?

One of my friend is in the same situation and he has been told by his lawyer that he can get his part-time concurrent H1 Extn for 3 years based on fulltime concurrent H1 approved I-140.
He is going to apply the same soon.
Good Luck!

Hi, I am currently on my 5th year H-1B visa. I have an option to stay with the same firm and they will help me apply greencard. But I am also considering an opportunity in Bermuda for a 2-3 year program (with the same firm).
My question is if I come back to the US after 2 years, will I be able to apply H-1B visa again? Will it be a whole new H-1B petition/application process subject to the H-1B cap?
Or will it be just another H-1B renewal process following my previous two terms?
Do I need to wait for another two terms of H-1B to expire before starting the greencard process?
Can I ask my currently employer to apply for greencard concurrently while I am working outside the US?
Thanks,
E

Recently, one of my co-worker who was on L1A, requested an extension of his Visa. His employer filed for an L1B instead and did not inform him until after filing it. Now USCIS has sent an RFE. Does anyone know if this can be grounds for rejection of his Visa? Is the employer legally correct in filing a changed Visa category at will without informing the holder? His wife is unable to obtain a driver's license since the Visa approval is pending. Does anyone know if this can be addressed? If so, how?

For all the friends at IV who have already received their EAD's and/or renewed their EAD's i wanted to ask how long does it take for a person to receive their EAD after filling their 485 provided their date is current. Is filing for EAD an additional step to filling a 485 once the date is current?
2nd scenario: If i decide to change my job and my I-140 is approved with my current employer. The new job is the same level and category as my job description on my current I-140, in a new company. Can i port my PD with the new employer without any affect of I-140 withdrawl from my old employer or will the porting need to be executed prior to my old employer pulling the I-140 petition? I have some understanding about the situation but i wanted multiple opinions just to firm my understanding. Thanks in advance and may GOD help us all through the wait period to get our destinations.

Hi Guys,
I was reading another thread and a question came to my mind..
I entered in US on AP and got the I-94 with the validity date as my AP date. Now my AP is going to expire and I am not going to travel anywhere any time this year. So just wondering what will happen when the I-94 is expired. Do I have to get it renewed from somewhere or just dun worry about it. or do I have to apply for a new AP.
Can anyone can shed some light on this situation?

Hello everyone,
Please help me with your valuable suggestions. My H4 extension was applied with my husband's H1 extension through premium processing. Both were approved within 6 days. I got my courtesy copy of H4 extension but my lawyer never got the original approval notice with the new I-94. So my lawyer applied the form I-824 for a duplicate copy of my approval. But will I get a new I-94 with the duplicate copy? I was planning to travel to India next month. I do have the white I-94 that I got when I entered the country and the green I-94 that I got with last year's extension. Only the I-94 from this year's extension is missing. Can I travel with that? Will I have problems at port of entry when I return back? Will I have any problems stamping my H4 with courtesy copy?
I asked my lawyer to file I-102 for replacing the lost I-94 but he said that form is for replacing the original I-94 I got at port of entry(which I already have). So there is no need of it. Sorry the post is too long. Thanks a lot in advance.

I strongly suggest that you do not go for visa stamping (unless there is a family emergency) if you get the new H1B approved. I went for the visa renewal and after nearly 7 months I am still waiting. I am not from any restricted country or have any thing problematic in my name (if you know what I mean). Since these investigations are confidential, I may never know the reason for my situation. From the various forums on this subject, i have gathered that, once you get flagged, you are condemned for life or until you get citizenship. Even if you have done nothing wrong...they like to test your patience again and unfortunately the pleasure is all theirs.
If you have to get stamped, get it from a neutral country such as Canada. A company that can allow you to work from overseas while you are waiting for the visa will help a lot. Also ask your friends to help you with your apartment and other belongings if it takes too long to get the visa. If you do get the visa quickly then just thank your lucky stars for they were more powerful than the VO on that day and time.

I am on H1B working as a consultant for a Client company.
My Project is ending this month. I filed my 485, EAD on March 2009 on EB2 Row and PD 2008 Jan through my parent Company.
140 approved long time back.
485 is < 180 days. EAD not yet approved.
I fear potential layoff in case not found a project fast.
Can I know my options. ?
Please reply...any experts..

Hi ,
I attended H4 VIsa intervew recently at Chennai,India and got Green 221(G) asking for some documents from petitioner. Meanwhile my husband changed the employer and got new I797.
Now at the time of submitting the documents, I understand that I need to submit new I797. But what about the documents stated in 221(G), Do I still need to submit them? If so which petitioner's documents do I need to submit? Old one or new one? As the query was mainly about petitioner and now that the petitioner is changed , do I still need to submit them?
Please advice.
H1 is the petitioner for H4
Does your husband have the visa stamp for the new I-797?

As far as i know, it dosent matter if you are on EAD or H1b. You can open a bussiness as a investor. You can have profit of that business but you can not generate your payrole or you can not work for that particular business. I will recommend to assist immigration lawyer or CPA.
thank you

Gentlemen,
I had a quick question with EAD I understand that I can switch job after 180 days as long as there is 50% match in job description. However my companiy's legal coordiantor send me a weird query that she cannot find the job in hard to fill category. So my question is Does the job I am applying for using my EAD has to be hard to fill as in case of H1 or the only requirement is that the job description should match 50% with the underlying LC.
Thanks for your answers.

First of all, let me begin by congratulating the IV core team and other members on staging a dignified protest to the entire July VB fiasco!
I have a question regarding the medical exam for the AOS. The civil surgeon I went to did not do a TB skin test and instead took an x-ray to verify no signs of TB. Has anyone else had the same experience, i.e. no skin test, x-ray only?
The other strange thing he told me was that some of his patients send the x-ray as part of the 485 application. Has any1 else heard of anything like this?
Last I checked, the USCIS did not employ medical personnel, but then what do I know?
Any input from fellow IV members is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and good luck to all.

Hi All,
Need some comments on my situation. My lawyer filed for my I-140, I-485, AP, and EAD on November 20th on EB2 Row Category. I just emails yesterday stating that my EAD card is sent to production, but they have asked for initial evidence on 485. Is it possible to review 485 without looking at the 140? I am not sure what that query is, but really hoping that it is not something serious. I've already waited for 16 months for my Labor to get approved. Please share your experiences, suggestions etc. regarding this.
