My wife'e H1B expires on Feb 2007 and she still has not applied for H1B renewal as she was on maternity leave. She will do so in first week of November. It looks like H1B extension process takes more than 3 months. Virginia is one of the states which just gives ur Driver license till ur H1B validity. So her license is valid till feb 2007. Would like to know if she can get her license renewed in Feb 2007 with a H1b receipt number or should she do Premium processing of her H1B. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Check with your international students office. In our time, they needed to sign the I-20 before you/your wife can leave the country. I also think she needs a separate I-20 with a F2 endorsement. She should not just carry your I-20 with her name in it, then you are supposed travel with her. Again, these were the old rules and I am not an attorney and this is not a legal advise, just from my personal experience.

I currently have approved EAD, I-140 and waiting for a Visa number to become available. My receipt date for I-485 was July 2nd 2007 and my notice date was September 27th. My employer is closing the IT department in March. Though it has been 180 days since my receipt date, it's not 180 days since my notice date. Will my I-485 processing be impacted when a Visa number becomes available? Also, will it be Ok if I'm out of a job for a short time while I'm looking for my next job? I sincerely appreciate the help and guidance in this matter.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi there.. I need some suggestions from you all. Please help.
I have applied for a green card thru my husband (we got married in Sep and applied for the green in Dec). Both of us are well qualified and are working. We submitted all the documents that are needed thru my lawyer. My finger print appotinment went fine. USCIS wanted some additional evidence for I 485 which they initially sent to us in Jan and we never received it but we followed it up and got the notice 3 weeks ago. They wanted us to submit recent tax return form (my husband's) which is 2008. For 2009 we are filing together and my husband hasnt received his K1 forms yet (he is self employed - Physical therapist) so we filed for an extension of time for filing which he usually does every year. We submitted last year's tax return (both his and mine), extension form that we submitted to IRS, additionally we submitted my W2, my pay stubs and a letter from my employer about my employment. Last week we received a denial notice for I 485, I 131 and also for travel document. The reason mentioned was we didnt submit the evidence they asked for which is federal tax return form for the most recent tax year. For us its 2008 and for 2009 we submitted the extension form. My lawyer is going to submit a motion to reopen. Any one had similar situation? Please help.
For I 130 (which is not denied but is placed on hold for additional evidence), they wanted more evidence that we are still married! which came along with the denial notice. We have all the documents that they wanted. Also we are going to have a baby in AUG, so submitting a letted from my clinic too. This should be sent sometime next week.

Found this while searching the website of the Senate Judiciary committee. Even though it is more than a month old, the references to SKIL bill in the hearing offers a glimmer of hope to us..As I understand the SKIL bill has been referred to the same committee for several months now.

Hi Guys,
I am working with company A on H1B, currently on bench (no pay, all vacation used up) and no pay stub. I got an from offer from Company B and have started the H1 transfer process. I would like to know how soon can I join company B. My friend says I can join as soon as USCIS receives the H1B application i.e. as soon as the fedex delivery reciept becomes available I can join the company B.
The lawyer from company B says I need to wait till a reciept notice is received from USCIS.
Who is right? I want to believe the lawyer for obvious reasons (she is a lawyer) but my friend did the similar thing, he joined the day his app was received at USCIS and he was adviced so by his company's lawyer.
A rationale to join on the same day is that when the H1 is approved it will have the start date same as the day USCIS received the app (as that is the requested start date of transfer).
I'd appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

Its more like paranoid journalism and the author's background states she has a degree in investigative journalism:mad:
I don't get it - how can USCIS take a sample of 250 people out of the 65000 visas alotted and say that 21 % of them were fraud ( 13% totally and 8 % technically ) . Its like taking only the fraud cases out of thousands and then saying that there is 100% fraud. I bet the fraud cases are not as high as 20% that the author and USCIS say.
It is sad to see that although we H1b immigrants get paid more than the American people ( considering what the employer gets from the client ) and even then we have to hear that we are lowly paid. Speaking from my point of view I know I am paid far more than my american counterparts in the same job profile.

Here is how you are being perceived in this country (full article link below):
"The process of converting an H-1B immigrant to a permanent visa resident is a long, expensive, tortured process. know of cases that took longer than seven years. My companies liked this arrangement, because it made the workers into long-term indentured servants, who lacked the freedom to quit and work anywhere else, neither could they complain about anything unless they wanted the companies to pull their sponsorship of them"

There are a lot of high-powered organizations lobbying/advocating in Washington to ensure that there are more temporary workers - because it is in their benefit. No one emphasizes on green card backlogs!

Myself(Husband) & mywife both came on H1B from same employer.
My son got H4 visa through my wife H1B visa.
I (Husband) applied for green card and got EAD for myself & mywife , got Advance parole for myself, mywife & myson and are in 485 pending AOS status,
My Wife is taking permanent job with EAD (EAD is through my Greencard process)
If employer cancels my wife H1B she will come to EAD status.
I am not sure what will be the status of my son who is currently on H4 visa through my wife H1B visa.
My son got Advance Parole and 485 pending status through my green card.
Do I need to apply for H4 visa for my son or will my son be ok on pending AOS status ?
His status is AOS. Unless a decision is made on your GC he needs no other visa or documentation to be in USA. If your GC application gets denied (Should not happen ever) then you lose AOS and you will have to talk to an attorney to see how long you can be in US - for the sake of filing an MTR etc.
Once a person files for 485 and application is pending a decision they can be in US without a VISA. If you travel outta US and needs re-entry that could be done useing AP. Hope this helps........

Yes the bottom line is you have to withdraw one. In my case, I have to write in letter to USCIS in Nebraska becase I did self-filing. I've spoken to an agent a while ago. She said withdrawal will not affect my other I-485. Consult with your attorney. I already have a finger printing appointment next week so I'm goin to withdraw the I-485 receipt from Nebraska.

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/Magnify%20Glass.jpgIn our blog of yesterday (http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/2010/04/border-guards-will-finally-use.html), 1 April 2010, we mentioned the new screening procedures at US ports of entry (POE). Fong & Chun's clients travel a great deal, passing through Los Angeles and other immigration ports of entry. As lawyers to so many travelers, we try to provide accurate information about border issues. We have learned a little more about the new screening protocol.
In the past, all citizens of certain countries believed to be supporters of terrorism would all be scrutinized indiscriminately. Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, and Sudan are widely believed to have been on this list of soi-disant unfriendly countries. Citizens of other countries -- perceived as "friendly" to the USA -- would be subject to less scrutiny.
The new POE screening procedures use intelligence-based threat assessments. This information will be applied to all persons arriving at a POE, including Americans. If border guards have intelligence that -- let's pretend for a moment -- a university-age male student from Africa might be trying to engage in dangerous activity, then the border guards would be on the lookout for university-age male students from Africa. In contrast, university-age male students from, say, Malaysia, M�xico, Moldova, Monaco, or Myanmar would not be subject to the same scrutiny.
This new, intelligence-based approach makes the most of the information provided by US intelligence sources without painting everyone with an indiscriminately broad brush. --jcf
