Hi,
I have a question. I am on H1 and are planning to extend my H1 along with my wife H4. My question is, we both have EAD's and I never use EAD. My wife is looking for jobs on EAD. If she works on EAD, can she still able to extend H4 status?
Thanks
As long as she does not work, and she has entered the country using her H4 (as against entering using Advance Parole), she is on H4. Once she uses her EAD, she is no longer on H4. Subsequent US entries will need to be on Advance Parole.
This is my "understanding".

I traveled (together with my family) through this route last year with the same circumstances you are in. There will be no problem and they won't ask you for any documents. If your flight on return is from Dubai to any US city, they will see your AP, Passport. If you have a valid AP at that time then they will allow you back.

I wonder if there are any provisions in there that can indirectly help our backlogs as well? Text of bill: http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22907
This has passed House and I was reading in Oh's site that President will sign it soon. Is it possible to throw in some indirect 485 backlog reduction provisions in there?
Oh's report:
07/17/2007: Passport Processing Meltdown to Receive Some Help from Retired Diplomats
Currently, the department is receiving more than 1 million passport applications a month and holds a backlog of about 500,000 that have been pending more than 10 weeks, instead of the usual six to eight The Senate passed S. 966 bill late last month to allow State to rehire retired Foreign Service employees to staff overwhelmed passport processing centers across the country. Retirees now have little incentive to return because current law cuts their salaries by the amount of their pensions. The House yesterday agreed to the Senate bill and passed it yesterday which is likely to grant the State Department the flexibility to rehire retired and fully trained passport processors on a temporary basis to help existing processors manage the increased demand. The President is likely to sign the quickly. Read on (http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cfm?articleid=37485&dcn=todaysnews) (http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cfm?articleid=37485&dcn=todaysnews).
Probably I am jumping the gun here but if I am not, hope this post won't hurt IV's agenda.

Once you use your 485 related EAD , then you can switch back to H1-B . If this switch is less than an year, then there is a possibilty you might, but definitely after an year, you will need to apply for fresh H-1 subject to quota and all.
If you are primary applicant, then my advise would be to use H1-B if you can.

Guys:
Is there anyway to get H1-B extension done fast ?
Using Premium Processing or anything like that..??
Please share your thoughts.
Yes there is. I paid for mine and got approval in 10 days. I did that because I did not want to wait.

I got my 45 day letter last month. The letter came to the Lawyer's office who faxed it to HR. HR director signed it and returned it to the lawyer who then posted it back to BEC. I looked at a copy of this letter. It is very straight forward. It only requires the attention of employer and/or lawyer. The employee does not figure into it at all. So, follow up with employer (HR) and your lawyer about it. But do not delay. If BEC does not receive a response within 45 days they will mercilessly close the case. So, beware!
Hope this helps answer your question.

I am writing this Blog entry from my conference of the American Immigration Lawyers Association in Washington DC. In this past few days Immigration lawyers from across the nation gathered here in DC to share ideas and discuss our Immigration laws and policy. On Thursday not so far from our conference, the President (maybe he planned it), discussed Immigration reform for the first time in months.
President Obama stepped back into the political minefield of immigration policy Thursday, arguing for big changes in what he called a "broken" immigration system. But he warned that no such changes are possible without some Republican support.
From months now, Latino activists have been pushing the president to make good on his promise to overhaul the nation's immigration system. Thursday, in a speech at American University here in DC, Mr. Obama took up the challenge.
The speech followed meetings earlier in the week with immigration activists and Latino lawmakers.
To those concerned with security along the southern border with Mexico, Mr. Obama said, he's already put more boots on the ground than ever before. But, he argued, border enforcement by itself will not stop the flow of illegal immigrants.
Immigration is back in the spotlight now thanks to a new Arizona law requiring police to question anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally. Mr. Obama says he understands the frustration that led to that law, but he thinks Arizona went too far. His speech helped to lay the groundwork for an expected legal challenge by the Justice Department.
These are exciting times for all of us at the Immigration Bar, and being here in Washington makes you feel like part of the debate. I promise to keep you updated as we hear from USCIS officials and other government representatives on upcoming changes and other issues.

Guys,
I have my I-140 approved. My wife is filling I-539 form for extension of stay. I just want to make sure from you guys, in the form where it says 'Are you an applicant of an immigrant visa' she has to say 'No'. As I am guessing until I-485 is filed, our answer to this question is always 'No'.
Thanks

My attorney office replied back to My I485 query yesterday in the overnight post(today is the last day to respond). For the marriage proof, i attached the marriage certificate which has my incorrect date of birth. I attached the affidavit describing that there is the entry error in the marriage certificate and applied for the correction and as in process with "Registrar of Marriage" office in India. In the meantime, i received the corrected marriage certificate today with the scanned copy. My question is, Can i send my corrected marriage certificate document today to USCIS ? Will they accept with one day delay?

3% seems very good.
Also if you can set aside some money for >3 years, putting it in an NRO term deposit is also pretty good. Now they range around 7.5 to 8%. You can repatriate the interest income after due taxes are paid.

are there any approvals from TSC lately ? since the online status is down, there is no way to get status updates now. Worse yet we don't get notifications on RFE's and if the lawyer did not notify on time, this is going to be a disaster..

Dear all,
I have got a employment offer from employer in Mississippi. I am currently in H1B status. When I am looking for filing address, I am confused by the following information on the I-129 instructions sheet:
Regular Processing
Except for the classifications listed below, Form I-129 is filed either at the CSC or VSC, depending on the location of the temporary employment.
Exceptions:
Additionally, H-1B employers filing petitions which are cap exempt must file at the CSC.
My question #1, I am cap exempt due to H1b transfer so I should file to CSC but employer location is in Mississippi so I should file VSC as per employer location.
Please clarify me the filing location.
My question #2, In sections 2.2 and 2.5 of I-129 form, am I currect If I check e for 2.2 and c for 2.5??
Appreciate your timely response
Thank you

Hi, I am a holder G4 visa working on a international institution in Washington DC, USA...and my fiance is a G4 visa holder too, working on other international institution in the same city (we are foreigners, south americans, especifically)...ok...the main issue is that we want to get married next month in USA and sure as G4 visa holders at that time....but on this September, my fiance is going to change his status to a F1 visa, because he is going to pursue his PHD on a US University....and I cannot change my status as dependent of him (F1 dependant), cuz I need to keep working, and I dont know if it is necessary for studying here to have exclusively F1 visa as a foreigner student, or he could become a G4 visa dependant from me, after he stop working to start studying.
...So my question is if we get married before that he changes his status from G4 to F1...would I be able to keep working on any international institution meanwhile he can keep his F1 student visa?, with no need to become a dependent from each other, but to keep, my G4 visa, and his future F1 visa, respectively?
My doubt is based on one comment that i heard from someone, but i am not sure, cuz that person told me, that if my husband changes his visa from G4, resigning my G4 dependent status, i couldn't be rehired later...i tried to get advide from a lawyer but his service is so expensive for me...so i hope someone can help me, cuz this issue is so important for us.
Ps: For more information, my fiancee would have to go to his country and getting his F1 visa and go back to USA as a F1 visa holder....And before that trip...we would like to get married...and meanwhile he is studying with his F1 visa, I can work with no problems with my G4 visa rehired as many times as I am re hired...

I know that PERM labor gets expired if one does not file I-140 within 180 days of labor's approval date.
I am wondering if DOL has any procedure to revive expired approved/unused PERM by filing some sort of request/appeal or by paying some sort of fees etc. or if not ,then one files a new PERM by referring the old unused approved labor for the same job and same person then DOL can give an expedited approval.
They give 180 days to file...what stops the person from filing for the I-140 within the 180 day window in the first place? Are you talking about labor substitution? If so, they got rid of it because of extensive abuses and so, don't count on it.
