I was in a similar situation as you and had to use this firm. H1B filing experience was fine but the entire GC process and filing was not a good experience at all. There were days I had to call the paralegal and teach him the new immigration laws and that's never a good sign ! Because of their mistake I was stuck in Eb3 rather being in Eb2. May be they will deal differently with your case but have a chat with them and your company managers before you agree to use them. I m with another company and another attorney firm and they are awesome !
Anyway, pm me if you need more info. Good luck,

If your boyfriend has degree+exp in engg, medicine, nursing, management, etc. he can get H1 from company that plans to hire him. Pl search for jobs on yahoo, dice, etc first. Not many companies would be ready to do H1 in present scenario.

Hello can anyone tell me the procedure to file I-539. I overlooked my wife's H4 visa (assumed visa will be renewed when i get my H1 renewed at consulate). I am looking for information to file for I-539
Also My wife's visa expires on Dec 9th 2007 (I94 expires on Dec 20th 2007). Is it possible for my wife to stay beyond Dec 20th if i dont receive the H4 renewal by that date. I am planning to file I-539 by Nov 8th 2007
Thanks in advance

Recently we had been to India trip( Jan -Feb 2010), we also had expired H1 stampings but valid H1B.
You do not require Transit visa if you are passing through Frankfurt.

Hi All,
My PD is 1st Aug 2006. Am i IN or OUT?
As per VB:
The cut-off date for an oversubscribed category is the priority date of the first applicant who could not be reached within the numerical limits. Only applicants who have a priority date earlier than the cut-off date may be allotted a number.
They stress and bolded "Earlier Than" so i am not IN???? :confused::confused::(:(

Yes, I realize a H1 transfer is needed to work in another company. And 140 is not approved. So the new company has to start GC all over. Too bad, it looks like priority date cannot be ported since it LC is still in process.

Hi Folks.
Whats the cost of filing a motion to reopen the case 485 if wrongly rejected(either due to using AC21...). I mean lawyer fees + other fees.
I am sure there are folks here who went through this.

I want to apply AP for my daughter without lawyer's help. I didn't apply for her when I applied my 485 and AP but her 485 has been applied and I have the RN. Is it straightforward process. Since I applied for 485 July 2nd can't file electronically and must use old fee?.
Also in the application instructions under intial evidence section it saysAn explanation or other evidence showing thecircumstances that warrant issuance of anadvance parole document; orWhat does this mean, do I have to write an explanation letter :confused:
AP is comparatively simple. You don't need to have a lawyer. Please go through all instructions carefully.
Yes you need to write a brief letter explaining why you need AP. You can say for family visit, family function ( if any ) etc.
I recommend applying online.

There is a change of status form available on USCIS website. It is called I-539:
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=94d12c1a6855d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D
Go through the instructions of this form. I followed the instructions in this form and sent every document they asked for. My wife also changed her status from F1 to H4. After you send everything, you will get a receipt in 2-3 weeks and approval notice will take ~3 months.
All the best.

Dear friends,
I got my NIW I-140 approved on March, 2009. The priority date indicated on my I-140 approval letter is August, 2008. So I can't submit my I-485 yet since the visa bulletin is not current. Is that correct?
My question is: Can I accept a job abroad and work aborad while I'm waiting for the visa bulletin to become current?
Thanks a million for your help on this.

I-94 determines your status in US and visa stamp is a merely used to enter into US .hence make sure your I-94 is stamped till the expiry date of new I-797 otherwise you would get into issues.

I filed my 485 application at TSC at the beginning of August, still did not get any receipt number, neither are the checks cashed.
Any idea how long USCIS/TSC is taking these days to issue a receipt or cash the checks?
Thanks

I am sure MS has a lot of applicants that are facing retrogression. They do support employment based immigration.
I do not work for MS.

Put yourself in the USCIS officer's shoes and think how these 2 jobs are similar? The only similarity between both of them is these 2 jobs are in IT. That's it.

I have just signed a contract to buy a new home.
The first step is to be eligible for mortgage.
During an interview with mortgage counsellor, she asked my visa status.
I tried explaining her that I was not on H1 and had not received GC yet, that I am on EAD.
But she did not understand it. She only understands H1 or GreenCard.
I am not on H1 since I changed my employer and it expires this October.
I have also travelled on Advanced parole.
Recent EAD is good until 2010.
Can anyone help?

Sure, you can apply for a new H1 petition with another employer..But do make sure to include the copy of H1 receipt from your pending H1 with a letter quoting you being in status based on the pending H1 petition...If you don't, there are chance that you might get the H1 approved without an I-94 attached as your current I-94 has already expired. In this case, you will have to leave the country, get the H1 stamped and re-enter US before being able to start work with the new employer...Btw, there is nothing like transfering a H1, thats just the term commonly used...Each petition is independent..
I would also make sure to address the issues from the current RFE so that another RFE is not received for the new petition.
Hi,
My H1 and I-94 and My Wife's H4 and I94 expired on Sep 30th 2008 and applied for extension on July 7th 2008 with Company A. But Company A received an RFE on H1 extension,
At this movement I have a good offer from company B , can I transfer H1 using Receipt of H1 extension?
I appreciate your input
Thanks
Rav

I got hold of a copy of the actual RFE and when I read closely, the above statement sounded alarming. Since the labor was filed in 2003, I was wondering what relevance June 26, 2006 has.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance for answering my question:
I have had an EAD from past 2 years, but I also had a valid H1B I was working for company A on H1 and my GC is filed by Company B future employment(and hence the EAD)
- Company A went down last year, so I was laid off, so my H1 lapsed.
- I switched to Company B since I have an EAD through them.
- I am on Company B's payroll currently.
- The company A folks needed help after they were shutdown, I helped and was paid for hours. (doing same and similar work) but not issued a 1099...
Question - I will need to file taxes on those hours, in terms of immigration have I done anything out of ordinary here? I don't know if USCIS and IRS connecected, or I am just being paranoid here?
Thanks!
As you are on EAD nothing wrong is done as for as USCIS is concerned. Just add that income as self employment income you should be fine. Also you can deduct those expenses you made to earn that income.
