KPR,
From my understanding you got your H1B approved(for 3 yrs) beyond 6 yrs even though 140 is once approved and later revoked. But I heard from my lawyers that once 140 is revoked/withdrawn its not possible for H1b extension beyond 6 yrs. Could you please let me know what details you attested for the RFE to convince USCIS? I am also in a kind of similar boat.
Thanks,
Vijay

in politics everything is give and take + "my side needs to get the best deal" attitude.
I am conflicted about Dream.
On the one hand, if it passes, the illegal community is pacified for the short term and if legal immigration is taken up immediately, they will not oppose us.
On the other, if it does not pass, we might have to wait for CIR or whatever else. Neither Republicans nor Democrats care to sponsor a bill just for our issues. They will continue to talk about amnesty vs enforcement.
Unless of course, we as a community step up, meet with lawmakers repeatedly, get them to take our issue seriously............
Who gave you that assurance....?:confused:
Seriously I pray for this bill to fail...if there is no relief for legals. I am not interested to pay for the illegal and their docs to be processed with my money.

the only way to extend the H1 is to:
- have an LC >365 days old
- her I-140 approved
Without either of those she does not qualify for H1 extensions. Best bet if EAD takes longer than 4 more months (should not, most people have got it within 90 days) and she cannot stop working for a while might be to try and recapture time spent abroad (to fully utilize the 6 years). If you were on vacation or travelling on business, hten all those days spent abroad can be used as additional H1 time. if thats been 4-5 months in ht elast 6 years, it might be worth recapturing...
WTF? A red-dot for this post??? Will the coward who marked me red for this please have the decency to explain why? I have deserved red on other posts (& even got some) but what on earth was wrong here?

Somewhat the same situation happened to me, and my attorney advised this in order to avoid the filing:
You may call your bank and hold the checks that you sent second time. If INS finds that the check is not 'withdrawable' they will not file your application.
I agree with fatjoe- that is probably the best way. You could always call customer service and see if they have any suggestions? Good luck to you

I wanted to find out if the past donations made by people like me are good enough to get us donor status. But I have only landed with circuitous answers to this issue.
Honestly, I couldn't give less tail about the donor status. What I really care about is being up-to-date with what is happening so that I can lend a helping hand in ways I can.
It seems like maybe some action is going down in the donor forums and ppl like us are left to wonder what is up. I don't think anyone cares to even post updates,albeit delayed, in the open forums about what is happening. It is just making for a really dry experience with IV lately.
What gives?

1. Do I Need an airport transit visa since iam travelling via France ?
Depends on the airline..Air India would let you board...Other airlines may not allow you to board.I have heard of cases some people getting sent back from airport.Do not know anyone firsthand..Air India told my wife that they would not deny boarding and anything happens in Paris that is her risk.She got the transit visa from french consulate just to be on the safer side...noone came to check it when plane at paris.
2. How long will it take to get my fresh passport if I applied over the counter on emergency system (Tatkaal)
Faster in US in India consulate that in India offices..At least NY is fast
3. Can I travel with an expired H4 visa ?
The only requirement for exiting the US is I-94...Usually they just take it and not even look at it....You can travel to a destination outside US...They would let you leave...No coming back without valid visa..
You can travel inside the US...Just keep the USCIS application receipt copy with you....You can show that copy as proof that you are making attempts to maintain legal status..

I am thinking of switching the company and look for new job. I am not sure how this will work when I am on EAD and not expecting my GC to come soon as my priority date (EB3) is March 2005.
Possibly the new job will not be 100% aligned with the job desc that was put during the LC.
Do any one can help me guide what are my options?
I am not a Lawyer, just advising based on my knowledge / experience:
You can certainly change job (Since you have EAD, I am assuming here that you have approved I-140 and filed for I-485 for more than 180 days). AC-21 (its a law) allows you to port your job when you have approved I-140 and I-485 is filed for more than 180 days.
The job has to be "same or similar" need not be same. The word "same or similar" is not defined in the law, but you can use O*Net classification. The O*Net classification is the code under which your labor petition was filed. Then use O*net website to see the proposed job you are looking at is similar to the O*Net classification your labor was filed for. Its little bit confusing how to use O*Net but if you Google AC-21 you will find enough literature / articles posted by lawyers. Better yet, one of the IV member have wrote whole blog on that (you would have to find that, as I don't remember).
The new job don't need to be restricted within geographic area where your original labor was filed for (you can work anywhere in the USA).
The new employer is not required to prove ability to pay.
There is no upword salary restriction, but if the pay difference is significant then USCIS may take a look at it in detail just to verify that the new job falls within "same or similar" category.
You will have to find a good lawyer (you can do yourself as well) to write AC-21 letter to USCIS. I have seen people suggesting that you don't have to do that, USCIS may never get that into your file. If they you don't send AC-21 letter or it never gets to your file, they will send you RFE to prove that you still have "same or similar" job offer. They may also send you NOID or deny your case, but you can file motion to reopen (obviously using a qualified attorney) and they will most probably approve your case.
And finally, your existing employer can't revoke your approved I-140 (if its over 180 days).
Hopefully this is helpful!

Hi, i was looking at Murthy chat log and it states since H1b is a dual intend visa one may keep H1b status and do part time job on EAD ... she did mention that the rules is not crystal clear on some of these issues, but the doctrine of dual intent allows a person to be in both the I-485 and H1B statuses and allows him/her to file H1B extensions, even if the EAD has been used for work, etc., has anyone done that in the past or knows somenone please reply?
Chat User : As many of us plan to start part-time businesses using EAD, if we are on H-1 and use an EAD for a part-time business, does it mean we abandon H1B status? Thank you for your service.
Attorney Murthy : Actually, the H1B allows for dual intent. So even if one uses the EAD to start a PT business, if one closes the business or files an H1B extension with the current employer, that is an option to resume H-1 status. The rules are not crystal clear on some of these issues, but the doctrine of dual intent allows a person to be in both the I-485 and H1B statuses and allows him/her to file H1B extensions, even if the EAD has been used for work, etc.
Chat User : I am applying for I-485 for my family, and my wife is on H1B. Can she travel to India on AP and work on H-1? Does she need to get H1B stamping, or can she use AP for travel and H-1 for work?
Attorney Murthy : The general rule is that, after a person uses the AP, the safer approach is to work on the EAD, but the law allows such a person to also file for H1B extensions, as long as s/he is working with the H1B employer. As mentioned above, the law is not crystal clear on what must happen, and we find that it has been quite broad in this respect, since there are no clear-cut limitations. It would be safer / clearer to have the EAD.

Because Republicans are blocking every bill in the Senate until the issues of Tax cuts is resolved, Sen. Reid needed to postpone the cloture vote on Dream Act to buy time to get more support. Senate Majority leader needed “Unanimous Consent” to withdraw his cloture motion and push back the vote. He did not get it, forcing him to offer a motion to table the cloture vote.
Tabling the cloture vote will allow Sen. Majority leader to bring the DREAM Act up again when the other issues have been resolved, and when there are 60 votes. We expect that Dream Act will surely come up for vote again before the end of 111th Congress.

Hi, I have 3 yrs exp. as a software engineer. I have a master's degree . In order to be qualified for EB2, which is better to be put on the job ad, BS+5 or MS+2? Based on my understanding:
BS+5: BS is believed to be qualified enough for the software engineer position. But BS+5 may not be qualified for EB2?
MS+2: Master degree is good for EB2, but wondering if the DoL thinks it is necessary for a SE position.
Could you please give me advice on this? I really appreciate that.
Thanks.
Job requirement should not be tailored according to the qualifications of the individual. They should reflect the true nature of the job. Please dont ask such questions here and bring this forum to a disrepute.

Is lobbying for relaxing AC-21 portability rules with regard to "similar" job profile in the agenda of IV?
Assuming we get out EAD's and the wait for the final card is very long, flexibility on the AC 21 will be the next big thing.

My take on the permanent solution:
1. Recapture lost visa numbers
2. Medical tests are going to be valid indefinitely
3. Ppl who've worked for X years automatically can apply for I-485
5. All can apply as per the old bulletin
6. ????

Hi,
I just started my 5th year on H1-B (EB-2) at a very large software firm. I also have a Masters degree from a good university etc. I was delaying filing my PERM (part stupidity and partly thinking of changing my job). Now, I received information from the company that new PERM applications may be impacted because we had layoffs recently. Although I am not personally aware of anyone with my job title being fired, I am wondering if they will wait for 6 months after the layoffs to actually start filing new applications.
I am new to this, and this may be a simple question. What usually happens? Do they put off all PERM applications for 6 months after layoffs? Does this mean that companies that have not had layoffs can continue to file PERM applications?
I ask this because I am thinking that maybe then I should look for a company that has not had layoffs (best of luck to me, right? :) I think there's a couple out there :) ). If I do go down this route, can I start a PERM application immediately or do I have to work at the company for a while before I can do this?
I am also worried that the PERM could get delayed by 6 months or more because there might be more layoffs. If there are further delays in the time to be approved (more than a year), then I might be cutting it really close as far as my H1-B term goes. Is anyone in a similar situation? Am I at risk here? What happens if PERM filing is in process when H1-B duration comes to an end? Do I just have to leave?
A lot of these are maybe newbie questions, but I am kind of worried and I would appreciate it if you can contribute answers to whichever questions of mine that you are familiar with.
Thanks
