As of June 19, 2009, approximately 44,500 H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085) cap-subject petitions and approximately 20,000 petitions qualifying for the advanced degree cap exemption had been filed. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.
Employers thinking of hiring visa workers have more flexibility this year to interview and choose the best candidates as visas will be open for at least 2 more months.

Guys,
I need your advice in this Regard. My wife is currently on an H-4 Visa (valid until June 2009) and she got her H1 petition approved yesterday. While applying for her H1 this Apr 2008 she was not in USA as she was in India at that time (she went to India for 4 months Feb-June 08). My questions are as below (in Bold)
1. I believe she should go to a US Consulate (we are thinking of going to Canada as we are Canadian Immigrants) before Oct 1, 2008 as she was not physically present in US when her H1 was being filed (correct me if I am wrong here)
2. She is planning to go to the US consulate in Vancouver in Sep 08 to get her H1 Stamped. So let�s say she goes on sep 3rd to attend the Visa Interview and gets her H1 stamped, when does the H1 visa validity actually start?
2a. Will the H1 visa validity start right away or in the last week of Sep? (I am guessing last week of sep..correct me if I am wrong)
2b. Will they cancel her existing H4 visa right away as they issued her a H1?
The reason I ask this, if her Visa Validity starts at the end of Sep can she come back to US on her existing H4 after she attends the H1 interview in the first week of sep.
3. I read in a previous post here that while your H1 processing is going on it is not advisable to travel out of US with H1 receipt number and no approval. As stated above my wife did travel from Feb 08 (before the H1 was filed in Apr 08) to June 08. We got the H1 B approval on July 27, 2008. So does this hamper her chances for getting her Visa Stamped when attending her Visa Interview in Vancouver?
4. Does anyone know how long the Visa Processing Times in Vancouver is?
Can the gurus or people who have faced similar situation please answer my queries above as I need to do the necessary ASAP.
Sorry if these questions are being repetitive as I was not able to find the relevant thread for my answers.
Thanks in Advance!!!

My current H1 B expires on July 31 2011. With this I will be exhausting my renewals quota as my sponsoring company Wipro has not initiated GC process. Also when my last renewal was done, a mistake was done by Wipro Visa office. My first entry to US was in Aug 2004. After that I had gone out of US in Aug 2005 for 1 month vacation and returned in Sept 2005. Each time when we file for extensions, we give all the entry and exit dates. The Wipro visa office had incorrectly entered my first entry into US as Sept 2005 even though it should have been Aug 2004. Based on this they renewed my petition till July 31 2011. If we calculate now, it turns out to be the seventh year on H1. When I tried to change my employer this year, they looked at these details and informed that if I start GC process now, they will definitely calculate my dates and find out that I am in the 7th year of H1 without GC initiation. So they told it will cause issues and it would be better for me to leave the country after July 31 2011, wait for 1 year, sponsor a new H1 and then come back.
Is there any alternative I have here? Thanks for offering help.

It is 90 days without employment on OPT. 10 days of unemployment between two jobs does not count towards the limit. You can also work part-time (20 hrs/week) or as a volunteer to stop the counter.
I recommend contacting your international department for details. They should be able to guide you depending on how useful/active they are!

F1 requires a intent of non-immigration. By filing I-140 you already showed intent to immigrate (labor approval alone will not be considered intent to immigrate). You will not be able to get COS to F1 from H1B. Even if USCIS grants your COS by mistake you will have hard-time getting a VISA at an American Embassy.
So in this case if somebody wants to study for an MBA full time, and at the same time not loose H1 (more importantly GC status), what are the options. Sometimes it is possible due to bad economy, getting a job may be hard, which is an opportunity to get some degree.

1) Can I travel without any problems/
2) While coming back, what are the documents I need to show, will my old H1 is enough or do I have to show receipt of showing I applied for extension?
I really appreciate your time and advice, advanced thanks

This must be the worst immigrant experience I have heard.
I am sorry to hear that you have to go through this. You must approach social workers' group in your local area. They will help you get proper treatment from reliable sources, and they will also appoint you a lawyer if you cant afford one.
Dont let that loser off the hook. Despite of all emotions involved in this case, go after him hard and square. Make him pay for what he did to your daughter.
I dont know about your GC process, for which consulting an immigration lawyer is the best thing to do, right now you have a much important issue at hand than just a green card.

One lost his job and opted for subsidized COBRA. After one month he got job from small company. New employer does not pay for health insurance and insurance premium is more than subsidized COBRA premium.
In this case, Is it ok to continue using subsidized COBRA even after getting new job?
Thanks,

Hi,
The following is an article I read and want to share with fellow GC seekers. This clearly indicates that there is a real big need for Tech workers in US and companies are finding difficult to fill the vacancies.
http://www.datawarehouse.com/article/?articleid=6816
I hope IV may be able to get in touch with researcher and get more detailed information. This may also help them while meeting House Reps and Congressmen.

I just read this line from the USCIS release
===
USCIS�s announcement today allows anyone who was eligible to apply under Visa Bulletin No. 107 a full month�s time to do so.
====
It appears Labors approved after July 31 cannot apply for 485 as they would not have been eligible under bulletin No. 107.
if yes, then this is something that should be clearly mentioned somewhere.

I'm in my 3rd year of my first H1-B which will be expired Sep. 2011.
If I transfer my H1-B now to another company, then do I automatically get another 3 years or do I have to file an extension after my H1-B has been transferred?
Thanks

You dont have to file extension if you get approval

I have a green card and I'm thinking about living 50/50 in US and my home country Slovakia.
I've had GC for about 6 years and been living quite a travelling life spending more time outside US then in. Its also about 50/50 with trips always around 10mo in or out.My continuous residency is broken.
Do you think that if i live 50/50 in and out for five years they will give me citizenship with such history?
Got GC after Mom.
Thank you very much for effort. It will help a lot in deciding where my life will go from here.
If you spend more than 180 days a year in the U.S (total of 2.5 years in the 5 years preceding to the application) and show ties to the U.S (a house, tax returns, family etc). If so, it should not be a problem. The U.S ties come into picture only when you are out of the U.S for a extended period of time (like in your current case). Good luck.

I guess you can use your old I-94 to travel canada. Please see following link.

When you travelled, they would pull the old I-94 and give new one.

Hello,
Does anyone work for Covansys?? I am in the process of talking to them for employment on H1B. Any issues with this company? I appreciate your comments...
They are big and you can join them without any hesitation. I worked for them for more than 6 yrs. I am not working there any more.
They are pretty good at filing H1Bs and GCs. Good Luck

Hi,
We(Uma Kandaswamy and Ravikumar Balasubramaniam) have been living in cumming GA since 2006 april, and we are green card holders who received green card one and half years back. We had a son in sep 2006 and named him Aaditya Balakandan Ravikumar with out any hassle in 2006 in GA at the same hospital(Northside)
But on April 3rd when we welcomed our daughter in to this world, at Northside hospital. The vital records guys at the hospital refused to put my husband's first name as my daughter's last name and said there is new law in GA, that says we should either name our daughter with mom's or dad's lastname or a combination of both and not father's first name.. This was really wierd to me in this free country..and no other state seem to have this, because my brother recently had a baby in NJ and named him with his first name with no trouble.
We wanted to name our daughter "Kaavya Magdalene Ravikumar" Instead the birth certificate has "Kaavya Magdalene KandaswamyBalasubramaniam" for now.
The SSN/Vital records government office guys refused to even discuss or explain the law and blankly said get a court order and we will change ur daughter's name.
Now we are in the process of taking this to court and changing her name to what we wanted before applying for passport etc..
FYI: I somehow feel like the law is suggesting that we can name our kid either on of these ways and not really enforcing...

Can you please advice. It is somehow hard to believe in the most freedom loving country of immigrants, Immigrant parents can't name their baby what they want to and go through this hassle.
Thank you. Any help is appreciated.

Is there any solution going to come to help peoples here for 9 � 10years paying taxes, contributing to social security, Medicare, having clean records etc, and stuck on numerical limits and VISA numbers availability.
Being in this situation is not because of not started process timely, where as this is caused by the way processing tied up with employer to get GC. And as soon as changed employer the whole process reset. Sometimes employee has to take decisions in the best interest of employers, where as one has to pay price like sitting in the GC Queue again and which was also not bad till the retrogress hit hard.
There also best possibilities that people stuck in queue and waiting for GC are highly skilled, financially healthy, and capable to invest but surely not doing so in the anxiety
Even in the current economic situations most of them also lost their big chunk of money from 401k, IRA and other investment which is going to take years to recover.
