Hi Morchu,
Thanks for you reply.
Yes you replied to my question in other Thread... but you thought I did't exhausted my 6 years...
Yes Please. File an h1 extension NOW. (Premium or not premium doesn't matter much, since you are in H1 status all the time, with proper pay-stubs and all.)
But having an H1 is especially safe in this particular situation.
I assume you have not exhausted your 6 year limit.
But Iam already in 7th year. Based on my situation I want to make sure whether Iam eligible or not for applying one more H1 while other (H1 appeal is pending). So I posted my request here too.
Thanks again Morchu for your responses.

We should have only one focus. Eliminate EB retro first. For that a simple amendment will be, 242K visa is open to both old EB and newly created merit system. That�s all. This amendment will eliminate the retro immediately. All other discussions and efforts are waste of time and energy

I went to AZ-DMV showed them my I485 receipt. The representative didn't know about the new ID law that this is enough as a legal document. I need to asked for the supervisor to get my license renewed.
They did not accept the I-485 receipt... They did accept the EAD and renew based on that...

Hi,
I'm considering relocating back to India after getting my EAD since I don't know how long it's going to take to actually get the I-485 approved. My questions are:
1) Is it possible to continue to keep my I-485 application active if I relocate to India and work at the India office of the same company that filed my green card?
2) Is it possible to continue to keep my I-485 application active if I relocate to India and work for a company other than the one that filed my green card?
3) Lets say I move back to India after getting the green card, is it enough to simply enter the US once a year to keep my green card active? Can I apply for citizenship after 5 years of having the green card, even though I haven't resided in the US for those 5 years?
I'd really appreciate it if someone could please answer these questions for me.
Thanks.

Asfar as I know the I94 date is always linked to a visa and not the Notice of Action. when i faced the same issue this what I was told.
invincibleasian is totally WRONG in saying this. Officer at POE does not always determine the expiry date of I-94 based on visa stamp expiry. In case of H1 or H4, the expiry date is determined by the expiry of the concerned H1B petition (Notice of Action) from the current employer. I don't know what kind of issue invincibleasian faced.
Lemme share my own experience to prove my point. I entered the US in Sep 2006 with my visa stamp from my previous employer expiring in 15 days. The Notice of Action from my current employer however had an expiry date of Apr 2007. Officer issued the I-94 with Apr 2007 as the expiry date. No questions were asked. I guess that answers all of your questions.
Shruti is right for the most part. However, I would re-phrase this sentence
>>If the Officer gives June 2007 date, your wife should show the latest I-797 and get the date corrected.
to say this
Present the latest I-797 along with your visa stamp first so officer puts he correct expiry date on I-94, leaving no room for any mistake. With my experience, I can vouch that POE officers seem to be quite aware of this procedure.

What are the supporting docs along with AP? I will be travelling by Emirates via Dubai in Novemeber.
TIA
The AP should be accompanied by employer's letter that proves your support,i .e.It is a simple letter which states that the employer supports your I485.
Please also carry few recent paystubs and copies of all h1,if they are not stamped in the passport. This was asked at POE in IAD(Washington Dulles International Airport).

Dear XYZ,
Thank you for contacting me about changing H-1B and L-1 immigration policy. I understand your concerns.
As you may know, Senator Richard Durbin (D-Illinois) introduced the H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act (S.887) on April 23, 2009. This legislation would change current immigration laws to limit the number of special occupation and intra-company transfer workers permitted to receive United States visas. It would also increase the oversight of H-1B and L-1 visa holders to reduce fraud and abuses in the system. This bill is currently pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which I am not a member. Should this or related legislation come before me for a vote, I will keep your views in mind.
Thank you again for contacting me. Please continue to keep me informed about issues of concern to you and your family.
Sincerely,
United States Senator
I received the same email too.What a pity.....

You can't take any pay check from other entity.( same owner does't mean same company- you may need to amend the petition, if you have diffrent job site with same pay check). You can take a part time H1B and work other site with diffrent pay check. If you have EAD (I-485 filed) you can take any pay check.
Hi,
Have a query in regard to the H1B Visa status. Would it be ok to work for a different branch of the same company, when my unit is not able to provide me with the required number of hours/week. I work for a hospital as a physcial therapist, and am having trouble maintaining the full time hrs, Other units of the same hospital are desperately in need of the therapists.(But working for them would be under different tax id and also would be a seperate pay check, but the same hospital though).
Any answers would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Have you used AC21?
What are the implications if for some wierd reason your I-485 gets denied and you dont have an H1-B to fall back upon?
Say you have an H1-B which is extended for 3 yrs( based on approved I-140) from now till 2011, in the year 2011 your I-485 file is opned and its not approved for some reason so will you get another 3 yr extension for H1-B ie till year 2014?
if your application is fine, there is no reason for you to worry. sometimes mistakes can happen..but i dont think you need to worry too much..its like having a heart attack while going to the movie..u can't plan for everything..

Folks,
We need to understand that we have chosen a tough but worthy effort in the form of this forum. As such it may be depressing to see the slow movement in DC.
We should not be setting ourselves some timelines like the ones stated in this email thread, and then feel depressed about seeing no positive results within that timeline...there are too many factors outside our control to do anything like that...
I think we are better off than we where we were last year, when the awareness was nil, and that backlog legislation only favored the RNs and the PTs, while we saw ourselves powerless...
Lets help the core team..and not get depressed over short timelines...I see light at the end of our efforts...may not be phenomenal..but I am sure it will make a difference...for each of us...

My wife would be travelling to India soon and the question is whether to use AP or go for a H1 visa. She has been working on H1 (but no H1 visa yet) and also has a valid AP. The 485 is pending on my name.
In my understanding if she uses AP in the reentry, her status would change to AOS (Adj of Status) and can stay until the 485 is adjudicated. But if 485 is rejected she would be out of status immediately. We have been told (by my filing attorney) that if she gets a H1 visa this she wouldn't be out of status in case of 485 rejection - she can continue to stay & work on H1.
Is the above correct ? And if 485 gets rejected while on H1 would she be out of status immediately ?
- I heard that the 485 rejection mentions an 'order' to leave the country within x number of days - I was wondering what the implications are if she is on H1 status (having reentered on valid H1 visa earlier) - Does her status still hold good and continue stay and work on H1 ?
- Also at the time of applying for H1 visa what kind of information can be or cannot be shared at the Visa Interview ? just to make sure that the H1 visa doesn't get rejected due to her pending 485
Many Thanks !!!
