Hi
I am currently on H1b and I have applied for an extension around July 14th. My i-94 is expiring on
Sept 20th. My husband is currently on F-1. I wanted to find out in case my H1b visa is rejected, will
I have to immediately leave the country. Would it be possible for me to convert to F-2 while being in US
in case my H1-B gets rejected?
Convert H1 into Premium. You need to get the results before Sept-20. So that you can apply for F2 visa.

I guess EAD is personal property not employer property. I had filled my I-485, EAD and AP and my employer does not even know it. On top of it i had completed 180 days and moving to another job.
Are you in H1B or EAD. If in EAD you have to renew it yourself the employer has nothing on your EAD.
I am seeing lots of people change their jobs once 180 days expire...Just trying to get an idea whether people mostly use H1 transfer or do they start using EAD? Does changing a job while 485 is in progress always triggers an RFE/interview?

Hello,
I would appreciate any help on the below matter. Thanks in advance!
My information:
----------------------
Priority Data: March 2008
I-140 approved
About to apply for 3 year extension of H1B after 6th year( which expires on Dec 1st 2011)
My Questions
----------------------
If I move to another company as soon as my 3 year H1B extension comes through and they start my GC process again, what do I have to be careful about regarding
1. Is this even possible?
2. Will the H1B keep getting extended after I switch employers.
3. Can I keep my PD?
4. If the new company is in a slightly different field but my job remains similar, does that matter?
5. What happens if after I transfer, my current employer revokes my i-140? Does that matter since my new employer will restart my GC process anyway? (Also, do i get to keep my PD in this case?)
Thank you very much!

There is hope, but is it possible?
"Finally, there is another stop-gap proposalthat would �reclaim� 300,000 unused H-1B visa numbers as well as 250,000 wasted employment based
immigrant visa numbers and make them available in a floating pool as temporary relief. There has been a great deal of speculation that the House leadership may take the SAVE act and bring it to the floor before enough signatures can be collected to force a vote. The idea is that they would add some or all of these other proposals, or even amnesty itself, to the SAVE act to make it unattractive to the original sponsors�thus killing it.
It is doubtful that anything other than amnesty would kill this legislation.
There is a serious risk for the Democrats in forcing their members to vote
down an amnesty bill. That would undoubtedly alienate one of their core
voter constituencies.
If the SAVE bill passes, the likely result is that support for legal immigration reform will increase substantially. A number of members of Congress have said that they support legal immigration reform, but first want to see new enforcement measures put into place"

COBRA is a good option but I know its crazy expensive. They also have a high deductible plan. If your friend does not have kids (or even if he does) you could opt for HD plan - their premiums are much lower (< $500 for family). eg. for a doctors visit, under normal plan he would be paying 40$ copay and insurance would pay in-network negotiated rate of say $120. With HD plan he would need to pay $120 for doctors visit until he reaches deductible of $6k for the year. Not a bad option if you are healthy individual - covers you well in worst case scenario... Ask your family doctor in india to send you imp drugs, antibiotics etc etc. Within 100$ you can cover all medicine expenses...
If you need any help on that send me a PM.

The choice is pretty clear - apply for your GC (labor).
That way atleast you are in the system and have a PD.
Later on you might have some options to switch from Eb3 to Eb2 with the same or a different employer. Also if uscis manages to clear most of the backlog by end of 2010, then your wait won't be as bad as it has been for folks waiting since 2003.
And maybe even the possibility of a CIR bill next year will speed things up for you.
So the way i see it, things really cannot get any worse for you. So just apply.

Are both of these I-140s on the same labor cert?
Whats the RFE about?
What does your lawyer say? Ignoring the RFE does not seem right, at minimum you should contact USCIS and explain the situation to them.

Hi ,
Finally after a long wait i heard some good news from my lawyer that my labor from PBEC has been approved.
I have few questions in regards to my H1-B visa extension . The labor that got approved was from my previous company PD March2003 and i also have labor pending for my current company PD Feb2005.
I wanted to apply for three yrs extension on my H1B I will be completing my 5th yr in Feb 15th 2007 and would like to know if i can get 3yr extension after premium processing i-140 bec based on some of the post on IV i came to this conclusion that one has to be in/past their 6th yr term on H1b according to AC21?
Secondly, i would like to know if i can use copy of approved i-140 from my previous company and get 3yrs H1b extension.

i was told by my lawyer - if spouse stops working, s/he can go back to H4, but you need to confirm with a lawyer, given your specific case.
Thanks for your response, Nil

Interesting comment on one of old BusinessWeek articles.It strongly highlights power an employer holds over H1-B employee.
http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/blog/bangaloretigers/archives/2006/11/us_software_tal.html
"'m not at all surprised that the first few comments on this post have been very skeptical of the skills shortage.
No matter how you feel about the alleged shortage, you have to acknowledge that the H1B gives the employer a remarkable amount of power over the employee's life. The employer bestows the right to live in the United States upon the employee, and often sponsers the employee's application for a green card. Changing employers is not impossible, but it is tricky and perilous.
As an American, I can quit my job and become a contractor. An H1B can't. If my girlfriend decides to move across the country for a new job, I can quit my old job and go with her. An H1B can't. If I decide I'm tired of programming, I can quit and apply to law school. An H1B can't. And, most importantly, if I think I'm talented and should earn well above market rate, I can go into my boss's office and negotiate with the knowledge that I'm free to find a better deal elsewhere. An H1B can't - unless, of course, he's willing to give up on his wait for a green card and return to his country of origin and start all over again.
While I'm not a protectionist in any way, I view the indenturedness of the H1B visa as an affront to everything America claims it believes about human and economic freedoms. No employer should ever have this kind of power over an employee.
Congress is perfectly capably of creating an employment category for foreign nationals that preserves freedom for the engineer who comes to America. They still haven't. Why? Well, the most likely explanation is that the corporations who lobby for this visa *enjoy* this power over engineers. And this, in turn, leads to work conditions that drive America's best and brightest away, into careers in law, medicine, finance, and so forth, exacerbating the very shortage that the visa was designed to address.
Unlike some of the posters here, I'm ok with the existence of skilled worker visas. But any increase should be off the table until basic human and economic freedoms are preserved for the worker. In America, you have the right to quit your job. Period. "

I have not done it recently for h1b ,but i did it for my parent visitor visa from india chennai consulate.
I think once you fill forms it is valid for 1 week. You can directly try to schedule appointment using the saved forms for 1 week. I observed that for vistor visa appointments they open every thrusday /friday night indian timings and they make dates avaialble for only one week of the following month. and i see they are being filled up in just one hour after they open. Same might be happening for H1bs schedules.
I'm trying to schedule an appointment for non-immigrant visa in August/September timeframe from last one week without any success. After filling the forms, and continuing further for checking the available dates, I get a message saying : " Interview appointments not currently available, please check back in 24 hours. "
I would really appreciate if you can educate me of what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks,
Ashish

Anybody who had an I94 issued only till the validity of the visa and not until the I-797? At the POE the guy simply wouldn't understand when I tried to explain to him that I have an extension (797) valid from 4/10 t0 4/11. He gave me an I94 only until 4/10. I read that people go for deffered inspection and get it corrected. Anybody who did that in a similar situation active in IV now? Any suggestions on how to proceed? do you go to the nearest international airport or an off-airport location?
Its common for IOs at POE to do this. Their side of the explanation is that they cannot give you an I-94 based on a I-797 which will be valid in the future. They have to go with a currently valid document. Like others suggested, you will have to either re-enter US immediately after the current I-94 expires or go to the nearest intl airport and get this done by defferred inspection.

I am not a lawyer but was involved in something similar.
C can take you to court and stop you from being hired by vendor. It will be very difficult for them to push for damages etc. but thye can bring a stop on your hiring.
If C is a small desi consultant the chances are dim he will come after you. But if he is reasonably sized with lawyers within the company, you mgiht get a notice. You can take a chance, but usually the lawyer fees etc might not be worth the effort.
Your other option is to have your vendor buy you out - which means the vendor pays an X amount to C, and that frees you up from any contracts/non-competes.
Good luck!
