I am currently working on H1B. My wife is currently in India with approved I797 for H1B (starting Oct 07). We are debating whether to get H1 or H4 stamped on passport. (H4 is totally our decision and for H1 we need to depend on her company's schedule).
- Can she come to the US on H4 (lets say next month) and if and when she finds a job (lets say next year), can she switch to H1? Is there a time limit before H1 will become invalid?
- If she comes to the US on H4, are there any issues changing status to H1?
- Are there issues when she goes to India again to get H1 stamped?
- Is there a difference between the I797 approval notice if a person is out of US vs. in US? (I have read something about I-94. I thought I-94 is always attached to 797 approval notice).
Thanks, I will appreciate any useful info.

I just received the I-140 Receipt Notice and noticed that the section I am filed is not correct Sec.203(b)(1)(c) i.e multi-national Executive or Manger
where as I should have been filed for sec.203(b)(3)(A)(i) or (ii) Skilled Worker or Professionsal
I am going through Substitution process and the Previous I-140 was approved for sec.203(b)(3)(A)(i) or (ii) Skilled Worker or Professional
Now my question is what is the procedure to rectify this ? Also will I hold on to the processing dates {NOT Priority date} (say May 25th) for I-140 or should the lawyer file new appliaction which will push my I-140 petition dates to June?
Thanks,
San

I was also doing my part-time when I went for Visa ... For 33, I did say "yes" and gave the University name.
Not sure if IO looked at it ... did not ask me any questions regarding that ...

Yes.
My I-485 is pending with EB3 Feb 2006 priority date. Invoked AC21 and currently working for a different employer. Have Masters degree and 9+ years of experience.
Is there a way to re-apply for Green Card under EB2 category thru a 3rd employer and retain the old EB3 priority date?
Thanks in advance.

I have my H1 filed in 2008. Due to the market situation, I didn't go for H1 stamping and entered US in March 2009 on H4.
I would like to know the steps/process for H4 -> H1 COS.
I know my employer is the best person to answer this. But, the problem is whenever I ask any details, he always tries to abstract the info.
If there are sequence of steps, after which step one is authorized to work? I tried getting the info online, but couldn't . If any of you can give me a pointer or explain the process in detail, it would be very great and helpful.
As per my employer, I can start working in 2 weeks after he initiates the process. I want to make sure that I don't run into any legal issues. Once the employer has initiated the COS process, is there a way one can track the status and also to verify the status after the completion of the process.
Sorry for too many questions. But, please please do help!!!
Thanks a ton in advance!!

Hello,
I had E-Filed AP for me and my family on July 7th, 2008. Still it is showing as pending, On December 16th, 2008, I send a request to USCIS for expedite processing, December 26th I received a letter from USCIS that an officer is assigned to our case but after that there is no change in the status.
Can somebody pls suggest any steps that I should take to get my AP approved?
Thanks in advance
Vikram

Hi all,
I'm on my 5th year of H-1b visa. I had my I-797 approved until 10/30/12. My old passport was due to expire on 2/25/11 so during my recent trip my I-94 was given until 2/25/11, even though my visa is until 10/30/2012. So my lawyer filed I-539 to get a new I-94 on 2/20/11. I still didn't get my case number yet. Now I have another Job offer and the new company's lawyer says that i cannot take another job until this case is complete. I'm totally confused and not sure what to do. Please help. your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
Mani

Please help reactivate this group. We have 27 members on our group but it's hard to get 1 reply. We have successfully met two lawmakers recently and more such contacts are urgently needed. A mail was sent out to the group today. If you do not get it, check your junk/spam folders and make sure the group id is added to your safe list. Folks, this time we do not want to come up short. Let's not be in a position to regret our failings in hindsight.

If your EAD is based on your husband's I-485 app I don't see any reason as to why that should affect your gc process if you move jobs.

I initially voted in favour of this, but on further reflection, I think this is bad policy and urge others to not support this.
Giving I-485 benefits to people without current PDs is a bad idea. It creates a class of immigrants who are neither non-immigrant visa holders (h1b) nor are they lawful permanent residents (i-551) with a set of rights that falls into neither category. The AoS pending status is intended as a short-duration temporary "gap" coverage for people who are a matter of months from having actual I-551 rights.
Essentially, this proposal aims to make every month into the July 2007 fiasco. In addition, and this is the truly horrible part of it, relieves US employers of the pressure and costs they feel now, extending H1Bs every 3 years. That means that the only allies that legal EB immigrants have (US Employers who require their services) are detached from the immigrants themselves...they no longer have a dog in the hunt, and will stop whatever pressure they are bringing to bear now upon Congresscritters and Senators to increase the number of EB visas available.
Disconnecting the interests of foreign-national employees from their US employers will weaken the political position of the foreign-national employees. We cannot vote or contribute to campaigns, our employers however, can do both. If employees are shifted to EADs and APs, with no further involvement of employers in their immigration status needed, then those employers become disconnected from the process, and the one and only ally the legal immigrant has is no longer interested. That's a horrible thing for the immigrant to advocate.
I strongly urge IV to back away from this proposal, as it is not in the long-term interests of the EB Immigrant community. I urge IV to instead focus their resources on items that will help immigrants long term, like increasing the number of EB visas available through initiatives like eliminating the DV program and allocating the visas to EB applicants.
Thanks for your insight. This is another perspective and it demands further discussion and analysis. The wait time between filing I-485 and receiving the green card is already beyond the norm and a lot of companies are aware of this. Imagine the wait times for the people who haven't yet been able to file for their Adjustment of Status. Wouldn't it help them (and their dependents) if they are at least allowed to file for their AOS? I invite the members to provide their perspectives on the issues raised by JeffDG above. Please do not attack each other. Let us fight together in lieu of fighting each other..

I was trying to find out if one can transfer from b1/b2 visa category to H1- B visa within the valid period of stay(i.e before the expiry of the I-94).
Go out of the country and come back in H1 status, provided you have a valid H1-B. (Can go to Canada also). Otherwise, too many hassles. (non-immigrant vs immigrant intent)

New/amended 140, if the LC states correct job requirements (assuming the mistake was made on 140 application).
New LC if old LC states incorrect job requirements.
I have a Masters Degree in the US and the 5 yr experience required for the EB2 also the position requires it; however my lawyer made a mistake and asked for an EB3.
I already received my I-140 and my I-485 was filed at the same time.
What can I do to change to EB2?
Thanks a lot for your answer,

Hello,
I work for a very small company. Only 2 employees in the company - Me and my employer. We both do IT consulting.
The annual income of my company is less than $160K but this year it could reach upto $300K.
My question is - given the size of my company, if I file for Green Card, will my case stand for GC processing or probably will get rejected?
I am new to GC, so would appreciate any helpful suggestions.
Regards,
GreenMe
