Hello All,
Need you guys expert advise on a problem that I have just found.
I was on L1 since 2007 and in 2008 got my H1B visa done. Since I was in the US during september and october 2008, I changed my company who held my H1B as of 1st October,2008. I dont have an H1B stamp on my passport as I have not been out of the US.
It was only yesterday that I realised I had a I-797B approval notice, which from what I read yesterday, means that I have a petition approved but without I-94.
Now my L1 I-94 on my passport is valid till November 2010.
Need your help to understand if I have an issue here for the fact that I have worked with my employer who holds my H1B for the past 9 months.
If so what are the challenges that I have and the solutions for them.
Also has anyone been in the same situation.
Would greatly appretiate your help in this.
It is necessary to get more information from you in order to give you a specific answer. If possible please call me or e-mail me in detail with exact dates.

Hello,
I have a h1b stamping appointment at the Chennai Consulate on the 29th of Nov.
I am in my 7th yr of h1b.My 3 yr extension has been approved based on aprroved I-140.
I have a question on the approved I-140.I do not have the original I-797 for my I-140 approval.
Will I need it for the interview?
I have the original I-797 for the h1b extension approval but not for the I-140.I only have a copy.
My company immigration team said its not needed.
is this correct?
Thanks,
arthi

I know for sure that Shusterman is one of the reputed Lawyer's... Its good to see people like him spending some time in this forum.
Also, if this is Mr.Shusterman himself participating in this forum or a member of his team participating. Can you throw some light into EB Immigration in the current CIR. What is that the EB folks can expect?

Hello All,
I am going to India and have to go for stamping. I come under Chennai consular district but planning to go to Delhi because of high rejection rate in Chennai.
First thing, I am not sure if I can go to Delhi when I come under Chennai consular district.
Second thing is, should there be a valid reason with supporting documents for attending the visa appointment in Delhi instead of Chennai.
Your thoughts and experiences on the above points would be very helpul for me in resolving this issue. Thanks a lot.

Hi!
I was wondering what are the benefits of EAD to primary(H1B) applicant before 180 days, i understand that AC21 & it's benefits can be invoked after 180 days from receipt date.
But is there any benefit of having EAD if 180 days from 485 receipt date are not over ?
You can take a 2nd additional job if needed..
Not much benefit if your current job is well paying and going well... Even though I applied for EAD, I am not planning to use it.. But just in case.. You never know WWW in US...
And when you invoke AC21.. You must have EAD in hand...

Well, the 109th congress already passed part-I of the whole process: changing the US laws to allow special exception for India.
Once the President signs this, they have to negotiate the so called "123 agreement" that is a bilateral *binding* agreement between US and India. It will again have to be approved by congress.
I don't think anyone here knows how long will it take for the "123 agreement" to be concluded and presented to congress for approval. But once it does, expect desi resources on capitol hill to be again busy with it as their top priority. And that would shut us out for the period this stuff is pending in congress.
So what I am saying is that the window between now and when the "123 agreement" shows up in congress for approval is important and we should not miss it. At the very least we should be aware that this is coming and plan accordingly.

If you have the receipt number, then you can check the status of approval online at uscis.com. Hope this helps.
Hi guys,
Does anyone know, When to apply for FOIA for I-140 ? After or Before Approval of I-140. Coz I don't know whether my I-140 is approved or not yet.
Or should we wait until the processing dates cross our reciept dates ?
Anyone who did this successfully, pls enlighten the members.

yes, that is correct, i meant can i got for H-1 stamping while 485 is pending
and ead/ap is approved.
Again in case the H-1 stamping is denied for any reason , can i come back on AP
I am a little concerned of H1 stamping being a problem because my case is complicated ,for the years June 2005- June 2006 i dont have a H1 approval from USCIS for the 6th year, This was because the case was stuck in a security check .
We applied a case again in April 2006 , which was approved on August 2006 ( after the security check has been completed ).
Regards
and ead/ap is approved.

Folks!
Like me all July filers would get off the H1-B hook come this Jan. I am assuming everybody would use newly gained freedom of EAD to switch employer or jobs. So far, not many employers like to get involved in H1 hassels ( espcialy in midwest), so recruiters had good business by hiring engineers at low rate and syphoning off majority share of the pay check.
But now, with 180 days (less than 75 days) limit over, all EAD holders are free to switch employers of jobs ( I know in same or similar capacity ... but that's not the point). The point is what would be the effect on current business contracting companies have? What would be the effect of EAD on their cost models and consistent revenues?
Not saying they would cease to exsist, as H1B's would still need them. But isn't new and bold demands from engineers like me going to affect their margins? ...What do you think?
It is true with Tri State hiring agencies also, all top tier firms with direct clients are trying to reduce layers by directly enrolling you on EAD - so come January - we will see a lot of people jumping.
Thsi is healthy for the candidate. H1b shops will have their own ways of doing business and will deifnitely see some challenge

They ask you to write A# or Alien# but not the Receipt Number.
Check out the A# in 485/EAD/AP/140 - they should be ideally in synch. If not put the A# from the 485 application because that overrides everything and is still pending....
Hi Guys,
In the instructions to file EAD they say to print name and alien receipt number on the back of the photos.
What number should we write? I-485 receipt number or receipt number for last EAD?
Can someone please respond?

Does anyone know of anyone in a similar situation, or heard about what one can do??

I had filed for H1-B extension in December. I work for a TARP company. With the new restrictions on hiring H1-B workers in TARP firms, is this likely to affect my extension filing, especially since my employer had layoffs recently?
