Anybody filed your H1 ext yourself? Is it worth it?
This will be my 12th yr extension. I have the previous extension papers (copies) that the lawyer sent me, so i was thinking i can look at those and draft a new ext myself. But with the latest news of H1 denied for consulting companies, is it worth doing it myself? I have worked for the same client for the last 11 yrs.
Everybody else would also like to do the same thing. Instead of Paying 3500 dollars to the attorney plus other fees by the employer. I feel its good to do it by yourself. If you have anything wrong USCIS would contact you back and you can reply on those. if it becomes a major thing, then you can hire a attorney.
I feel someone should post all the steps to file
1. H1B transfer
2. EAD
3. AP
4. I-485 (As for EB-I it would take a long time)
5. All other forms
Its not worth paying the attorneys for such a long time. Let USCIS take the trouble of correcting our errors

I am posting this question on behalf of a friend who needs some guidance w.r.t. H4 extension.
His H1b expires at the end of this month and he had applied for an H1b extension during Nov '06 after he received his I-140 approval. He received a RFE this week with USCIS requesting for additional documents. He had not applied for H4 extension during Nov '06 as his wife just moved to US in Jan 07. Her H4 expires at the end of this month. His problem is if he can apply for H4 extension for his wife, even though his own H1b has still not been extended due to a RFE. He can continue working as his application is still pending with USCIS but can he apply for H4 extension for his wife along with the additional documentation he is now going to send to USCIS in response to the RFE? Or can he apply for H4 extension based on the H1b receipt notice from USCIS? Or does he have to wait until he receives his H1b extension approved before he can apply for H4 extension? If that is the case, what would his wife's status be after her H4 expires at the end of this month and he has still not received the approval notice for H1 extension. Anyone with some knowledge in this area, please advise.

Hi,
My I-140 is pending, and my H1B renewal is also pending. Can I travel to India? If yes, what will I show as proof at re-entry?
How will it be for my wife? She is on F1 going on to OPT and a pending I-485 linked to my I-140 application.
Thanks.

Hi
My H1 Visa is about to expire in month of November 2009
Right now I am on bench and looking for projects
It might happen that I might have to go back to India
My labour is approved and I140 is under process.
Employer is ready to continue my GC processing.
If I go back to India and plan to come after I140 approval would it be possible?
Do I get new H1 on I140 approval or it is important for me to get I140 approval before November 2009
Please guide me
Thanks
Abbey

H4-H1-EAD-AP
Hi All,
Would request any answers or any practical experiences in regards to my queries:
My wife and my infant daughter originally came to the US in 2004 on H4 and my wife got her H1-B also in 2004.
In Oct 2007 I and my wife got our EAD (The GC processing is through my company). Also since our arrival to the US in 2004 we did not go to India . But we are planning to go this summer.
My queries: We are planning to use AP to enter US
*
What will be my status once I come back from India. Can I maintain H1B Status without going for stamping since I changed my company. to enter US
*
My wife has no H1-B stamp on her passport (since she came on h4). Can she come back on H1B, without going for stamping? Or is it advisable to go for stamping of her H1 and come on H1-B?
*
My daughter has H4 visa based on my H1-B, can she come on H4?
Appreciate your response.

I don't think F-1 is dual intent. F-1 is non-immigrant visa. Dual intent means, even though the visa it self is non-immigrant but it has intent to change to immigrant visa, such as H-1B Temporary worker and K-1 Fiance visa.
For more accurate answer, consult an immigration attorney.

that is old stuff and also scary stuff for some people, even if old visas's are being recaptured, it was being done only for Schedule-A folks (nurses). So for all other EB categories where the only form of relief they are seeing is from possible recapture, if nurses take away those 200k (per Ombudsman its about 218K lost visas) then thats another big hope gone.

I am in the same boat. Attorneys, Gurus and Experts...please advice on this.
Hi Attorneys and Experts,
My GC finally recently got approved and wanted to know what is the minimum time by law, I can stay with my current employer that will not cause any issues during the application of citizenship later.
I have following questions:
� if I don�t work for my current employer for at least six months, What kind of issues comes up when applying for citizenship. What is the law.
� How do the USCIS knows I worked for the current employer for atleast 6 months. Do we have to show six months paystubs or yearly W2s.
All I am just trying to get a knowledge of what is the law.

I am not an attorney but seeing as noone has answered your question here is my answer.
Extension of H1 based on I-140 is part of AC21 and is intended for applicants who are in the USA in a valid H1 status. Since your H1 would have expired and you would be out of the USA, you cannot avail yourself of that provision. So, you will have to stay out for one year and then apply for a new H1.
An attorney may answer now and correct me if I am wrong.

Employment Letter is a part of the initial evidence. There is a memo recently saying that any missing initial evidence will result in denial of application without RFE. Try to cajole your employer and gather as much evidence as you can about being asked for $$$ for helping you file 485
well.looks like I am not going to get any offer letter until I pay them $$.
In which case, I dont need offer letter, as they will file since I will be paying $$.

Hello Gurus,
My 6 years H1B visa term is expiring on Apr 30th 2008. My company filed 3 years of extension on approved I140 basis, which is still pending as of Apr 30th 2008. And my I 94 is dated till Apr 30th 2008.
I filed my I 485 in June 2007 and got EAD and AP
1) What will be my status after Apr 30 2008. Will I still be on H1 status, if not what will be my status.
And what is 'H1 pending for 240 days rule'.
Your answer is very much appriciated.

Until your H1B is rejected.

I fail to understand one fundamental thing with Immigration , GOP and Dems .
The GOP was againt latino immigration and had workplace raids with ICE agents and Dogs and Armed soilders ( we all know what they did ) . They Lost the elections and everyone said it is the lationo vote that caused their downfall.
Now come the Dems who are just dodging the ball cleverly , with Economy , healthcare , Wars all over the globe and so on and also care little about immigration. At tlest the workplace raids have stopped .
I am not latino and from India , as an outsider and onlooker to the entire immigration drama , I would want to ask what real choices do the latio voters have ? They just came out from the Fire( GOP Days earlier ) to Boiling oil( Dems Days now) and now they are complaining that they want to vote the govt out and bring back the old govt that had them in fire . I mean what is these threats all about , when either party does not seem to be interested in doing anything except for paying lip service ? With the current attitude of both the parties they have to either select Fire or boiling oil .

HI,
I am on F-1 visa since Jan 2007. and got started my OPT in August 2009. I have on campus income through out the year in 2009. so how do I file the taxes, n which forms. for tax return 2009.
also I got married to a F-1 student in Jan 2009. She is also having her OPT started in August 2009. She has income only on OPT (from Aug to Dec 2009) so which forms she should also file.
my wife did paid her college fee in Jan 2009. and we have paid the rent through checks on leased apt.
So can she/we ask for deduction of any kind?
also which status we have to fill in. "Married filing jointly/separately".
please reply as soon as possible.
Suggesion to file 'Married filing jointly'.
If both of you having 1098 forms from school you can file for Hope-credit (each gets $2500 credit, thats huge amount :) ). You cannot show the Apt. on tax form.

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.
