I gave FP 2 weeks ahead of the scheduled date. They only checked whether I have a FP notice.

Hi,
There seems to be a lot of mixed information about F1-OPT and I-485.
My wife is on a F1 visa. She will be finishing school soon. She also has a pending I-485 linked to my application and an "approved" EAD.
Can she apply for OPT?
I will appreciate if someone can shed light on this.
Thanks.

it is fine to have both I-485s filed and pending - generally speaking, if one gets approved, USCIS should deny the other (as a LPR you will no longer be eligible to adjust your status to lpr).
Thank you very much for your reply. Just wanted to know what is "LPR"?

Hi,
I got laidoff recently. My company is going to withdraw H1b. I have my 140 approved from same company and my 485 pending. I have EAD and never used and working on H1B for the same company. I was working for the same company which processed my H1B.
If H1B is withdrawn is there going to be any effect on my 485? like any possibility of RFE on 485 for EVL? My employer said they will not withdraw or revoke 140.
How long will it take to withdraw H1B?
your inputs are much appreciated.
Thanks

Below is a decsription of this amendment from AILA document which lists all the amendments that were discussed yesterday
http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22584
It confirms that the amendment #1231 applies to Y visa only. On the Senate discussion thread yesterday when this amedment was being discussed some body mentioned something along the lines that that Sen. Kennedy said he supported employer recruitment for all jobs and that really scared me ... I think Sen. Kennedy might have been referring to jobs that require the Y visa
This amendment does not mention anything on H1Bs. There was a lot of discussion on this point yesterday. I think we can breathe a litlle easy now.
The CIR does have other restrictions on H1B like $5000 more fees, restrictions for consulting companies & non-disaplacement clause but I don't think any GC type LABOR CERTIFICATION is required.
From the aila doc:
Durbin Amendment (#1231) to Remove DOL-Determined Labor Shortages as an Exception to Y Visa Recruitment Requirements
Senator Durbin (D-IL) introduced an amendment that eliminates DOL-determined labor shortages as an exception to employer recruitment requirements for Y visas. Senator Durbin argued that the amendment is an attempt to require that jobs be offered to Americans before they are offered to Y visa holders in the new worker program. Removing the provision in the underlying bill allowing the Secretary of Labor to declare labor shortages, he said, would achieve this, since all employers who use the Y visa program would always be required to offer jobs to Americans first. Senator Durbin cited the AFL-CIO as a strong supporter of his measure. Senator Grassley (R-IA), a co-sponsor of the amendment, also expressed his support for the amendment.
Senator Specter argued in response that this amendment is simply unnecessary, since American workers and their wages are already protected under the law. Senator Kennedy, however, expressed support for the amendment. He agreed with the general principle that a measure protecting American workers is good for the country. Ensuring that new Y visa workers don’t encroach upon American jobs or affect American wages, he said, is a step in that direction.
The amendment was agreed to by a vote of 71-22.

If the LCA was filed on 1/18, it should be approved by 1/25 (Now-a-days it takes a week). Have your attorneys expedite the process once they get it and file it before your last day. You should be good.
If you still have a good relationship with your current employer, try to extend your last day by a week (just as plan B)

Actions speak louder than words. If they are deeply concerned then they should be taking steps forward to make something happen.
I agree with you. They talk a lot ,but no action !! It is disappointing.
We have to do something to get the SKILL Bill on the table. What IV is doing to push this BILL ? any comments from Core Team ?
How can we give more pressure to the congress ?

Hi,
I have a situation and will appreciate thoughts on that. I was working in a company on H1B and my company got closed and Moved back to India after 2-3 months.
Now I found a new employer who has a project for me but want me to join in 1-2 weeks. SO I was wondering what options do I have?
Is it possible to apply for B1 for some time and come and simultaneously apply for H1 Transfer.
Please let me know. Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
Maya

Hi,
I initially got my H1 B approved under the quota for 2006 but later on moved on to work for a non profit organization on H1B. Now I am offered a job at a for profit company A, can I just transfer my non profit H1B to a for profit H1B(since I have already been counted under the H1-B visa quota for 2006) or I have to again go through the new H1 B visa quota for 2008-2009.
Thanks in advance for your guidance.

The backlog is so huge that there is no "light" at the end of the tunnel
FB immigration is capped at 480K and EB immigration at 140K. Both are backlogged.. the ratio of cases is also perhaps 3:1 or 4:1, so the bulk of those pendng 485s are likely to be family based. the EB I-485 cases are probably somewhere around 250k of that 750k...
Also, what is a backlogged case? USCIS has been changing the definition as they see fit. At one point cases that were pending FBI namecheck were not counted in backlogs!

Hi
I came US on h4 visa .One employer had filed for my h1b last year,and they said i got the approval.but the employer had no job for me as part of recession.So I am still on h4 .Will I loose my H1 approval.How long is the validity of h1b approval ?:confused:
You need to be careful here. If the H-1B was approved as a change of status (COS) last year, you may have automatically changed to H-1B status on the start date. If you did not work for the employer, you then violated H-1B status.
If the H-1B was not approved as a COS, you have stayed in H-4 status. The H-1B approval could be used to get a H-1B visa, however you would need a letter from the H-1B employer confirming that there was still a job for you. The consulate would probably need this since it has been a year since the H-1B was approved. Otherwise, the H-1B is valid until the expiration date, unless the employer revokes it with CIS.

Sorry to hear about your upcoming hardship..
I 've had a similar situation recently - where my H1B (with employer A) was about to expire and then another employer (B) had to recruit me, they filed for transfer+extension.
In I129 while filing, they would have to select (cant recall the exact verbiage) new employer (related to transfer) AND extension of current status. Its better to file this kind of petition premium. I got the new approved petition within 2 weeks with new expiry date as +2yrs, with start date earlier than the H1B expiry date (with A).

Yes for H1B you are entitled to get Return ticket back to your home country if you are being laid off or fired. Last year my earlier employer offer me return ticket to home contry. They specified that we are offering as per the clause or law of H1B visa. Offcourse I didnt accept it but you cant get money for not accepting this return ticket offer.
Hope this help

I would return home to Canada. I am not sure of the immigration policies in India :)
Could you point me to chapter and verse from some official DOL or USCIS website?
Thanks.

Yes, as long as the derivative I-485 is submitted before the primary applicant receives approval of his I-485.
Incorrect!
Her I-485 does not need to filed before his I-485 approval. She can file for her I-485 when PD is current and maintaining valid visa status (or out of status < 180 days) at the time of filing of her I-485.

I have an issue with my I-94 and need your advice on this.
I came back to US from India vacation on 10-Sep-2007. My H1 Papers from Company-B got approved(on 5-Sep-2007) just before I start from India . So I could not show the new Company-B h1 papers at the Port of entry to the CBP officer. I got my new I-94 date based on the old Company-A H1 papers which is valid till 30-Sep-2007.
I red on the Immigration Forums that USCIS follows last action rule to determine the validity of I-94. In that scenario, the I-94 that comes with my new H1 paper gets invalidated. If it is true, am I out of status after 30-Sep-2007?
Could you please advice on my possible options on this issue?
Thanks,
Alex

yeah there is no grace period...and am not sure you can transfer after it has been revoked
However to transfer you need to contact an immigration attorney who will file the new H1B application and pick the correct options...where it asks if its a transfer...once the application is filed you can immediately start working for the new company
