If I don't receive a response from USCIS before Jan 15, can I work till I get the notice ? or my employer is required to terminate my employment on Jan 15 according to the recapture time as mentioned on application ?
Your employer should terminate you from the job on Jan 15, as you will not be authorized to work after that.
I would like to apply for B2 transfer so I can stay for 2 months and travel around US. I also own car, house, and a ton of personal belongings etc. My house is under water (I mean I have $390K loan left on the house which is probably worth $250K). I might have to take it into foreclosure and eventually file for Bankruptcy and the process might take anywhere between 3 months to 18 months in present situation. I plan to leave US with in 2 months as I want to complete the mandatory 1-year outside before I could be eligible for new H1 visa but I might have to come back multiple to US for legal purposes during foreclosure or bankruptcy. Can I request a long term B2 visa (like 2 or 5 year) ?
COS will get you max of 6 months of B2 - If you apply B2 at consulate in your home country, you *may* have a chance of getting multiple year/entry B2 visa.
If my employer does terminate my job on Jan 15 2010, how early should I file for B2 transfer ?
Make sure COS application reaches them before Jan 15th.
If my employer say that I can legally work till I get notice from USCIS, when should I file for B2 transfer ?
Dont work beyond the date requested in your H1B extension.
what are the typical costs of filing for H1b to B2 transfer ? (application fees, attorney fees etc.)
Minimum of 1K attorney fees....

Hey arnet! I am having the same problem. I filed for EAD renewal and then I got my card the other day, but problem is they gave me the same expiration date w/c is Jan. 2007. I called the 1-800# 4 times the day after I got my new card to let them know of the error. I never felt so disappointed and frustrated in my whole life! The first 3 representative I spoke could not tell me anything but "sorry we can't do anything about that". One of them even told me to go to the USCIS where I had my biometrics taken.. and that was 5 hours drive from where I live. I was so pissed. Then I tried to call again that same day just to see if there's anyone in their customer service who has some sense to tell me. And luckily a lady answered and she told me to fill out another I-767 form and send it to the service center who approved my case without the filing fee. That is if it's their fault, they're going to waive the fee.
The only thing that gets to me is, we put our trust in these people to do their part.. because we do. We pay our taxes, we pay for all these filing fees, we do not violate their country.. we're just here to work. Yet after all the waiting that we do, all the hoping, all the sacrifices..this is all we get. A MISTAKE on our IDs.
I filled out a new EAD application, made copies of all the notices I received from them regarding this application...and I even wrote a damn letter just to explain what happened. I'm in so much pressure right now because I need to have my new card as soon as possible... I am due for renewal of my driver's license. If I can't have that card by the end of this year, I am doomed! I will lose my license and my job. Thanks to them! :mad:

I believe that from I 485 stage both cases (Primary applicant and dependant) are different. Primay applicant can be on H1-B or EAD for work purpose but the immigration status will be AOS.
Same is true for dependant candidate. They will be on AOS even if they have approved H4 or EAD.
If primary candidate wants to maintain H1-B status then it is ok. No need for dependant to follow and maintain H4 status. They can work on EAD and contiue their AOS application.

As I said in the main thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=9780&postcount=33) it was posts on the forum by virtual55, jkays94 and cpolisetti that set the WaPo ball rolling.
Thank you to them and every member who does his or her part in big and small ways.

You can see many denials for 3 year degree people in various forums including IV.
I have one copy of the denial of my friend in hand. (AAO appeal in progress)
It is 3+1+2=6, still they denied for EB2.
Before 3 year degree people go with some notorious evaluators (you know who) and get evaluated with professor letter (pay $500 to $1000). What they will do is 'find and replace' option in microsoft word file template to change the candidates name and issue a 200 page opinion letter. (all candidates will get same letter, only change in name and university).
Now this is not flying with USCIS.
So we can see increase in the denials.
Could you please share source/link for your assertion?

Hi All,
Company A:
I am on my 7th year of H-1B visa (6th year expired on Apr30th 2008).
Labor approved Dec, 2006.
I-140 applied in June 2007. (Got RFE regarding my Educational Transcripts
which we responded in time and USCIS received on Dec 5, 2007)
I-485 applied in Sep 2007
Got EID and Advance parole approved.
I-140 Denied on Apr 3 2008.
Applied for MTR (I-120 B). Now it is at Texas Service center (since May1, 2008).
Company B:
Now this company applied for my Labor (Perm) on Apr 21, 2008.
Got Approved on June 24, 2008.
1. Do I Eligible for Premium Processing of I-140?
2. If iam not eligible for Premium Processing, still do I eligible for 8th year extension based on my Labor applied on Apr21, 2008 (365 days before my 7th year H1B expiry)? Even when company A withdraws my MTR.
Please advice.
Thanks

I had a positive skin test & doctor recommended the 9 months tb treatment, but I applied for I485 & EAD because the doctor did provide me with I693 sealed envelope.
Now, Will it be a problem to get an EAD??? because I haven't completed my 9 months of treatment.
Thanks,

Another bizzare behaviour with Renewal of Efile EAD....
My 2 cents is just send them what they need....they have specifically asked us not to send photos when e-filling and now they raise an RFE coz u did not send photos...
God come down to earth and save us from this atrocity....

Hey Dontcareanymore,
You are right.
For other folks, here is the summary -
1) Got H1B visa stamp valid from August 2007 till August 2010.
2) Started working from October 2007 and Was laid off in November 2007.
3) Joined a consultant (IT) in December 2007. Got the training but never pursued any job as did not like the IT field.
4) Found another job in my field (chemical engineering), filed for H1B (premium processing). Got approved without change of status in March 2008 (I-797B) .
6) Attorney said that i have an almost brand new H1B visa so don't have to get a new visa but have to bring myself back into status by re-entering into US. Did that in April 2008. Total number of out of status days = 134. Started working for this employer from April till 30 September 2008.
7) Found another job. Changed the job. Got the I-797A (with I-94). Working with them since October 2008. This new petition is valid from 1 October 2008 till 30 September 2011.
8) Came to New Delhi for visa stamping on 25th Feb 2010. Had almost 20 to 30 minutes long interview.
9) First VO asked normal questions such was job duties, salary, last 3 pay stub, W2 form etc.
10) Then VO found out from the form DS 160 that i have checked on 'out of status' checkbox. She asked what happened. I explained it.
11) She went to consult someone else. Came back and gave me back all the documents and asked that someone will call me on another counter.
12) Another lady called me on different counter after 30 minutes. She sounded friendly and gave me a 221 g form (pink). She told me that it will take 6 to 8 weeks to finish the admin processing.
13) 221 g form had questions like resume, thesis, publication, last 5 travels in US etc.
14) I asked the lady if i can go back on my current valid visa and new I-797A. She went to consult with someone else and said that yes i can go back if i want to and the embassy will shoot me an email when they need the passport for visa stamping.
15) With my best judgment, I left India for US on 3rd March 2010. At POE (Chicago), forwarded my passport (work visa valid till August 2010) with the I-797 A (valid till September 2011). CBP officer gave me the I-94 valid till September 2011.
16) On 16th March 2010, got an email from embassy that they need my passport.
17) I asked if they have received the clearance. They sent me back the automated message that they need my passport.
18) Called DOS to know the status. They said that they can only see on their system the information submitted by the embassy and not beyond that. And the latest information embassy submitted was that they need my passport. The also mentioned that they don't have any idea why the embassy needs my passport. And 221 g is not cleared yet.
19) With best of my abilities, made a decision to go back to India and submit the passport to vfs.
20) Came to India on 29th March 2010 (early AM) and submitted the passport on the same day.
21) Passport was sent back to me on 1st April 2010 with the visa stamped.
22) The new Visa expiration date is 29th March 2012 while I-797A expiration date is September 2011. Why is it so i do not know.
23) Checked the status on the New Delhi embassy website for 221g and it still says that the case is pending though i have received the visa stamp. It indicates that embassy folks do not update the case status report for 221 g.
Please feel free to ask any question.
Thanks a lot to all of you reading this...

My spouse's employer will apply for her H1B shortly (she is on F1 right now). Her passport expires in March 2007 but the Indian consulate does not allow you for a renewal earlier than 6 months of the expiration date.
Does USCIS have any requirements for validity dates for passport when application for H1B is sent?
A passport must me valid at least 6 months is my understanding when I got my H1 renewed.

It's not the "swf" we're concerned with, it's the "fla", and it doesn't just do it with imported Swift3D stuff, but with jpg's and movie's and other imported media.
Try this experiment.
Open a blank Flash project. Save it as an FLA file, and note the file size.
Import a large jpg, then delete it from the stage, and from the library.
Save it again and compare file size again.

For the experts on this board, my H1 expires on 9/30/07. Should I wait till after Aug. 17 to qualify for a 3-year extension?
jazz
if you qualified and filed for 485 depending on your PD, you most probably will get only 1 year extension. I just filed mine May 29th for 3 years and filed my 485 June 8th but when approved I got my H1 extension approved only for 1 year. I may be wrong, just referencing what my lawyer said..

Hi,
Thanks for contributing to our common cause if you have already done. If not, I would like your to contribute to IV. Every member in this forum has different issues and IV is working towards most of the issues.
I got stuck in FBI name check for over 2+ years (24+ months)... run out of
patience or anything :mad: . I now decide to sue them by filing writ of mandamus in court. I'd like to have an experienced attorney do it for me. I'm looking for an attorney who is responsible and responsive, has been successful in filing writ of mandamus for clients to get the name check moving. If you know/use any attorney like this, would you please let me know by emailing me or sending email to prof_risk at hotmail dot com, thanks a lot!
I live in Maryland, I'd like the attorney to be located in great DC area.
I really appreciate your help

Depends on what you are looking for and what your priorities are:
1) Ask what work you will get? Ask to speak with the team members of the team you will work with and get your role clarified.
2) compensation. How much $$$$ they are paying more wrt current position or wrt other offers you may have in recent future.
3) As someone said correctly, get to know the work culture and the team make sure you don't end up being chained to work.
The advantage is that you can rise quickly (not much competition) & stable job.
So see whats important for you.
Guys, this forum is not the place to discuss about individual companies. If you have any questions related to immigration to US, you can start a thread for it.

Please let me know the procedure you followed for filing AC21. Did you go through your own attorney?
I am going to file AC21, haven't done yet. My lawyer was more inclined towards going with EAD rather than H1 transfer in first place. I am still in negotiations with the new employer.
what additional documents do we need to submit to new employer while requesting H1 transfer? I assume copy of I-140 is needed. What did you do to make sure your new job is in similar category?
