I am sure you would get that as well...and pretty soon. it would help though to not focus on the gc too much as who is getting earlier or later and how randomly USCIS look at things. It's better not spend our energies on something that we don;t control ..but focus on things we do or can..my 2 cents.

Hi all,
I have an approved H1B visa and was planing to start working for the new sponsor company 10/01/08. It turned out my current employer bought the company I was going to. My position is slightly different but in same line of business and industry. mY question is:
Do i need to file an h1b amendment for both position and company?
I appreciate your insight.

My wife is eligible for fling for AOS right now , however she has already accepted a position with different salary and designation with the same employer and asked the employer to file a new H1 b, I dont believe its been filed yet. We never thought the dates would be current in our life time
We are thinking of refusiong the promotion offer, however the boss is willing to helo keep the new job waiting for her and continue her green card processing in the current designation
1. I know you can change jobs after 6 months of I-485 filing.at that point can she use the EAD to work at this new job or she can only port the EAD to a similar occupation?
2. Other scenario is then have to a future job offer for the category that she has applied to green card through either from the same employer or a different one.. and asking for a H-1 B for the job with a higher salary?
3. If the spouse derivative uses the EAD can the primary applicant stay on H-1 b Status without using her EAD or is it going to be considered as though she used her EAD and hence no longer in H-1B?

Potentially 30000 visa wasted?? SJ 14th a must

05-21 03:36 PM
Hi,
I applied for H1 and H4 for my Family in 2005. I was working on L visa that time. Our H1 and h4 got approved in October 2005 but we were in India that time. We came to US again on L Visa in 2006.
After coming on L visa my new employer applied for my H1 change of status again in 2006 but not for family. Their H4 from 2005 was valid till 2008.
But Now while I am changing my job, New attorney says that my family is out of status and because we did not file H4 for them again.
What is the alternative to bring them in status. They have vaild i-94 from L2 which is valid till 2009 and they have approved h4 from 2005 which is valid till 2008.
Now my new employer have started my H1 transfer. I am thinking that for my family I will apply H4 change of status once my approval comes. Is that Okay or there is any other alternative to bring them in the status.
My family can not travel to India for H4 stamping till the end of this year. My wife will be delivering a baby in October. Will there be any problem for my new born baby for the passport?
Please advise.
Thanks

BharatPremi, do you know if one can have both 485 and CP processes simultaneously?
SIMULTANEOUSLY you can't have both. Either AOS or CP. One can covert one from another but it introduces enormous delay. AOS-to-CP atleast 1 year more delay and for CP-to-AOS at least 3 to 6 months delay.

You made very good points. May I suggest we ask members to call on the phone too if they're busy? This actually worked in delaying the first Bailout in 2009, when they received numerous calls.
Customer service reps do this for hours everyday in some places.
We have had phone and email campaigns in the past. Phone campaigns work the best when a specific bill is being debated and there is the target 2-3 days campaign. The rest of the time, person-to person presentation is the best.

Dude, I am not saying that this country is great or that country is great. You might be having valid reasons for the choice that you want to make, but you did not have to bring reservation into this. The people you have been complaining against have been discriminated for ages but they did not come looking for an easy life like you did. So stop complaining and concentrate on valid points...

Each spoon of sugar has about 15 calories. 8 spoons = 120 calories. 60 minutes of walking at a moderate pace burns about 120 - 150 calories. Clicking a mouse uses like 3 fingers and some wrist movements..I should stop now..LOL..Just a way to keep this thread on Top.

Posted July 11, 2007
Visa numbers WERE available July 2nd!!
We have confirmed with a knowledgeable official in the Department of State Visa Office that USCIS was requesting visa numbers on Sunday July 1st, and Monday morning July 2nd - and that visa numbers were still being issued as late as the morning of July 2nd!
In fact, close to 30,000 visa numbers were requested and issued in July - through the morning of July 2nd. And we believe that many - if not most - of the requests made in the first two days of July were for applicants whose priority dates were not current in June!
So how can USCIS refuse to accept I-485 filings received BEFORE the State Department issued its notice that all visa numbers had been used???? We have not yet confirmed the return of any I-485s filed in July. But we do know that applications were reaching the USCIS before the State Department announcement - and while the USCIS was frantically working to use up the entire year's allocation.
USCIS did not use all visa numbers before July 2nd.
Did USCIS actually use the visa numbers it requested????
Historically, the USCIS doesn't request a visa number from the Department of State until it is ready to grant the adjustment of status application. US Consuls overseas request visa numbers the month before they intend to issue the immigrant visa. This is the reason why consuls return about ten percent of the visa numbers requested - and why USCIS does not generally return any numbers.
In fact, in making allocations of visa numbers, the Department of State factors in an expected return rate for consuls - but not for the USCIS. And the USCIS - before this June - used about 85% of the total immigrant visa numbers available.
However, already this month, the USCIS has been returning visa numbers. This confirms our earlier suspicion that the only way the USCIS could request 68,000 visa numbers in a matter of weeks was to request them in advance of adjudicating cases.
We believe USCIS exhausted the visa numbers by simply requesting them - not by using them. If so, and for reasons we will post shortly, we believe that over 30,000 visa numbers requested by USCIS will go unused - and will be wasted this year!
Posted July 9, 2007
Is this because of the strong condemnation from the US congress women Ms Lof that prompted it to do this to cover their tracks? Did some people miss their chance because of this?

Why are you equating quality of life to owning a house?
- Because you are an "owner"? No you are not! You are renting the house from the bank
- Because you have a backyard?- go out and rent a house. They are a dime a dozen, will cost you half the cost of your monthly mortgage payment
- Because you have peace of mind? Really. Read your other post on people getting laid off
- Because your (ok someone else's) kid asked if you are poor? Really? A kid's innocent question is going to make you gamble (that's what investing in an immovable asset is in your situation) away a decade of savings?
- Because you want to give your child the best possible childhood? Think about it, if things turn for the worse either in your economy/company/job (absolutely do not wish it on anyone), and you are forced to move/sell the house/get foreclosed upon etc., how much more have you hurt your family and traumatized them in your effort to give them a great childhood?
- How many nights of peaceful sleep have you lost lying awake wondering what you would do if you/your spouse lost a job, had to move etc.?
I still cannot understand how/why someone would buy a house in the bay area ($700K+ for a SFH in a minimally liveable area) and $1M+ in places like Cupertino.
I will enjoy my quality of life in my rented condo (with a rent 1/3rd of the monthly mortgage payment it would take to buy it) and take my 2 year old to the park if he feels like he needs a back yard. Dont need to mow the lawn either!
Thumbsup!!
There is a perception on this board that renting => no quality of life. After going through some of the replies, I see that some are trying to convince themselves of their decision to buy a house.
