Hello All,
Following is my situation:
1) Recently got my L1 extension approval through company A which is valid through Aug, 2010.
2) I also have a Consular-H1B petition papers from same company A which is valid till Aug,
2011. But i don't have H1B visa stamp in my passport.
*My question is:
Is it possible to do H1B petition transfer from Company A to Company B without COS from L1 to H1?
OR
Should I first apply COS from L1->H1 through company A and then apply for H1B transfer from Company A to company B.
(and I believe for COS to happen i need to be still employed with company A.)
I am not planning to go India now but wanted to apply H1 transfer and work for the new company B in case of my layoff from present company A
Thanks.

For all Premium Processing cases, the service center first sends a fax to the number provided in the I-907 premium processing request form before mailing the hard copy of the RFE. So your lawyer/employer might have already received the fax...Check with them...

Hi all,
What docs are required for re-entry of spouse on H4 visa. The primary applicant on H1 is not travelling.
1. Copy of I-797 of H1 visa holder.
2. Passport copy of H1 visa holder.
3. Recent pay stubs of H1 visa holder.
3. Marriage Certificate.
Am I missing something.

Hi,
Both me and my wife are on EAD and have valid AP (valid till December 2010), H1 expires in Jan 2011(not stamped on our passport) . Priority date is June 2005, have a job and have current paustubs/w2.
My wife is in India currently - we both are planning on coming back in April sometime with our new born baby. My question is about getting H4 stamped for our baby.
1.Do we need to get our H1 stamped on our passport to get H4 for our kid ?
2.What happens if our I485 gets approved before we get H4 stamp for our kid ?
3.What is the procedure these days to get H4 stamped on passport ?
NS
1. Yes, H4 is derivative status. Primary should be in H1 status.
2. As long as kid was born BEFORE I-485 was approved, kid can get GC as follow-to-join.
3. Contact the US consulate in your area and your employer to get list of documents needed.

It was a mistake by the guy who stamped I-94 (at CBP).
Her H-4 must be expire on your expiration date.
You need to go to nearest CBP office to get it corrected.
She need deferred inspection to get it straight. USCIS will not do it.
OR Do nothing about it and file H-4 extension along with your H1B extension.
If you do not extend her with your petition, even if she have valid I-94, she may end up in trouble later.

I am a resident physician on h1b visa which is expiring on 6-30-2010 . I am in process of applying for H1B extension for my fellowship. My wife is on H4 visa (expiring in 3-20-2013 since she got 5 yr multiple visa). Recently she visited Kuwait and on her re-entry she was given entry (on her I94) up to 3-15-2013 (up to 5 days prior to her visa expiration). Will she also need extension in this case along with my extension or can she stay in US till 2013 with out extension Thanks.

Thanks fromnaija, If she maintains any non-immigrant visa she can be added without any 'follow-to-join' petetion right i.e., she can be added to my 485 just like the normal process when my PD becomes current.
Yes that's correct as long as the marriage occurs prior to when you want to add her.

With the D100 now carrying a street price of $1499 from legitimate dealers...things are looking mighty nice as the price of admission for quality gear keeps going down.
There are regular refurb D100 for $1,199 on the market recently.
If you want the best value for money, the E+ rated, at Adorama now, 35-70/2.8 AF-D and 80-200/2.8 AF-D are the best buy in town. I always tempted to get them to add a few zooms to my primes.
But until the 1Dx comes out which is 4mp, and the 1Ds holds a price above $6,000 until April, I am NOT buying any more Nikkors, unless the FF digital F6 announces on time, which I think is an impossibility!

She does not need to do anything but get a job, fill form I-9 and start working again. She is in a period of authorized stay since her I-485 is pending. I don't think it's even necessary to apply H4 for her.

Silicon Valley Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
Across Silicon Valley and the rest of the U.S., many employers are avoiding layoffs by reducing employee hours or by cutting salaries. However, H-1B visa (http://www.geelaw.com/lawyer-attorney-1054805.html)holders, and their employers, can run afoul of U.S. immigration laws if the salary is cut without a corresponding reduction in hours.
An H-1B employer must attest to the Department of Labor, that the employer is paying the H-1B employee the higher of either: 1) the prevailing wage for the same occupational classification in the same area of employment, or 2) the actual wage level paid by the employer to all employees with similar experience and qualifications for the same job. When submitting the H-1B petition, the employer must state the number of hours per week that they will employ the H-1B worker. So if the prevailing wage for a software engineer in the San Jose metropolitan area is $40/hr., then for a full-time job the annual salary would be $83,200. This would be the minimum that the employer would need to pay annually, and an employer could always pay more.
Suppose your Palo Alto employer informs you that all professionals are taking an across-the-board 15% pay cut. If the prevailing wage for your job is $83,200, a 15% pay cut would lower your salary to $70,720. If your employer started paying you only $70,720 annually while you were still working full-time, your employer would be violating the H-1B regulations, and you could be in violation of your H1-B status. However, if your hours were reduced to only 34 hours per week, then at $40/hour you would earn $70,720 annually. Therefore, an employer and its H-1B employee could properly follow the H-1B regulations by reducing the employee's hours enough to still comply with the prevailing wage. Of course, in this example, the H-1B employee would only be able to work 34 hours per week.

Guys:
Our( my wife of H4 and me on H1) currently have visas stamped till end of Feb'07.
Now, I am going to file for my extension.
The question is that if my wife travels out of US before end of Feb, according to my lawyer we do not need to file foe her extension.
When she is to come back the lawyer says that she would get her H4 visa based on either my pending application or approved extension.
Is this possible, that without filing for her extension she can get her H4 in Delhi stamped, based on my extension application..??
Please share your thoughts.. I am perplexed..!!!
Thanks

Friends,
I have had my GC for about two and a half months now. I am currently checking out SOA consultant positions with a consultancy in Saudi Arabia. I don't know the length of the contracts yet. Can I work out of USA and still apply for Citizenship after the wait of 4 years and 9 months ? Does this require me to stay a certain amount of time in USA for every year ? What are the tax implications ? Would I have to file taxes on the income that I earned out of USA ? Thank you.

Hello everyone,
I am in a very bad condition n would appreciate anyone who can advice me on same. I had been out of status for about 1 yr n 2 months following my denial of I 140 n expiration of H1b, n currently residing in US. Now i have a new approval for H1b from USCIS, a month back. I was instructed by my employer to go back to my native country n get approval from from the consulate n re enter US. My lawyer instructed that i will be barred at the consulate or at the airport due to the history of over stay in US upon re-entering . Is there any one who have heard experinces of this kind ever? plz share your knowledge... thanks
Lawyer is right. If you leave the country, you will be barred for 10 years from re-entry if you accumulated more than 1 year of "unlawful presence" ("out of status" is different and it is not a such a big deal to lose status as long as you do not accumulate unlawful presence). If you stay, you may be able to eventually get green card.
Can you provide more details regarding your timeline? Was I-485 filed? If you had pending I-485, "unlawful presence" counts from the date I-485 has been denied, not from the date H1 has expired.

As per the new regulation, you can apply for VISA in any consulate in INDIA. This removes the ambiguity of choosing/justify the choice of a different consulate other than the one in your consular district. Refer to the link below. Hope this helps!!!
