It showed 'Tamil Nadu' on my wife's Appointment letter too, even though she has been a resident in US for last 6 years (also she's originally from Kerala). There was no problem at the interview. So don't worry.

I asked exactly the same question a few days ago and ppl replied that h1B is totally different case. H1B does not get affected irrespective of whethe it came thorugh due to 140 already approved or LC approved or a < 6 years limit.

This was the first time I called up the USCIS help desk (1-800-375-5283) to find about AC21 180 days rule, when she asked what is this for I informed for change of employer.
I would like to know if that statement would be noted and would it create me any problems in future, as of now I don�t have any plans to change employer.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
My Case Details:

What a shameful story. DOJ announcement on the indictment of six individuals (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/04/us/04trafficking.html) for engaging in a conspiracy to commit forced labor and document servitude. The charges arise from the defendants� alleged scheme to coerce the labor and services of approximately 400 Thai nationals to work on U.S. farms.
The Justice Department announced that a federal grand jury in Honolulu
indicted Mordechai Orian, an Israeli national; Pranee Tubchumpol, Shane Germann and Sam
Wongsesanit of Global Horizons Manpower Inc., located in Los Angeles; and Thai labor
recruiters Ratawan Chunharutai and Podjanee Sinchai for engaging in a conspiracy to commit
forced labor and document servitude. The charges arise from the defendants� alleged scheme tocoerce the labor and services of approximately 400 Thai nationals brought by the defendants to the United States from Thailand from May 2004 through September 2005 to work on farms
across the country under the U.S. federal agricultural guest worker program. Orian, Tubchumpol and Chunharutai are also charged with three substantive counts of compelling the
labor of three Thai guest workers.
If convicted, Orian and Tubchumpol each face maximum sentences of 7 0 years in prison,
Chunharutai faces a maximum sentence of 65 years in prison, Germann and Wongsesanit each face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, and Sinchai, who was recently charged in Thailand with multiple counts of recruitment fraud, faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison if convicted in the United States.
Instead of achieving the American dream, the workers arrived into an American nightmare. This company forced them to live groups of men in labor camps, charging each of them thousands of dollars and forbidding them from living off company grounds. Instead of permanent residency and green cards, the workers received temporary, ten-month H-2B guest worker visas, which allow no path to more permanent status. And since H-2B visas bind workers to a single employer, company answered workers� complaints with threats of deportation. Such acts are in contrary to the spirit of the H2B visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137785.html) and we call for harsh punishment for these individuals.

"THIS IS NOT A COMPLEX SITUATION" - Consider changing the subject.
Absolutely, she can go for stamping in India with your H1B approval and get it stamped. If she were in US, based on your H1B approval she will get an Dependent approval notice and a new I-94, she still needs H4 visa to travel.
If you file for H1B renewal in regular process it might take more time, so if you are in a hurry then go for Premium.

0. Keep docs ready for MTR and once you receive the response from INS you should able to reply immed.
Without denial notice, I am not sure what kind of documents are required for MTR response. This I-140 was denied even without any RFE. There is no clue to guess the reason for denial.
1. is it consulting company?
Yes
2. which center NSC/TSC?
TSC
3. when did you apply I140 ?

To my knowledge, the PD field is always blank for EAD reciept notices.
I e-filed EAD renewal. On the I-797 Notice of Action that they mailed me, the "Priority Date" field is blank. The same is true for my last EAD notice of action as well which I did not check last time. Is it normally blank?
Is anybody else in the same boat?

Hi. I have been on H1b with Company A since May, 2008. My visa and I797 are valid till Sept 24, 2009. There is no bench/pay roll break in my employment. I want to transfer my H1b to Company B. Should I use premium processing or regular processing? I have heard that many premium processing cases get a RFE. Is it true? This is particularly important given the bad economic landscape and news/rumors of large number of H1b transfer/extension refusals.

If after joining the H1b employer he has travelled out of the country, got the H1 stamping done and then returned to US then he is ok. It is the last admittance that counts . He should be maintaining his status legally since his last entry in US which is more important. Nothing to worry about.

I have an idea. We can make following proposal to lawmakers....
In next 2 years they can sunset EB3 catagory. In exchange for that they will give visa numbers enough for everyone whose EB3 485 is pending or in pipeline(labor, 140)
What you guys think of this idea?
Anyways there are lot of people who just want to keep EB1 and EB2 catagories. We may get support from them with this proposal......

COBRA is a good option but I know its crazy expensive. They also have a high deductible plan. If your friend does not have kids (or even if he does) you could opt for HD plan - their premiums are much lower (< $500 for family). eg. for a doctors visit, under normal plan he would be paying 40$ copay and insurance would pay in-network negotiated rate of say $120. With HD plan he would need to pay $120 for doctors visit until he reaches deductible of $6k for the year. Not a bad option if you are healthy individual - covers you well in worst case scenario... Ask your family doctor in india to send you imp drugs, antibiotics etc etc. Within 100$ you can cover all medicine expenses...
If you need any help on that send me a PM.

Gurus,
I saw three LUDs on 485 applications after FP. Last as latest as August 23rd. No recent LUD on EAD or AP yet.
What should I expect?

The choice is pretty clear - apply for your GC (labor).
That way atleast you are in the system and have a PD.
Later on you might have some options to switch from Eb3 to Eb2 with the same or a different employer. Also if uscis manages to clear most of the backlog by end of 2010, then your wait won't be as bad as it has been for folks waiting since 2003.
And maybe even the possibility of a CIR bill next year will speed things up for you.
So the way i see it, things really cannot get any worse for you. So just apply.

I was on H-1 and got laid off on July 23. I filed for COS to H4 online on the same day and got the electronic receipt the same day. As I had filed I-539 after work hours, the receipt shows that USCIS received my application on July 26 instead of 23. I got the paper receipt in next 3 days. I hope this will not create any problems as my employer sent notification to USCIS on July 31 and I received my last paystub on July 31 though it was only till July 23. I have been working in US with good status for last 5 years.
Now I have some questions. Any help is greatly appreciated:
1) I recently got two Job offers from different consulting firms. When I told them that my H4 status is still pending, their attorneys told me conflicting things.
- One employer's attorney said that I have to wait till my H4 is approved and only then they could apply for my H1. At this time I have not status and they cannot file my H1.
- The other employer's attorney said that I could apply for H1 while my H4 is still pending by giving pending petition reference in the new H1 application. This will let USCIS adjudicate both the pending status together and there will be no problem for my H1.
Which one of them is correct ? What are the risks involved if I go with the advice of second attorney? Is there a possibility that filing H1 increases the chances the both my H4 and H1 applications are rejected and I could be OOS ?
2) Second question is that the second employer wants me to start immediately after I get H1 receipt. Am I eligible to work on a receipt with my situation or do I need to wait for the complete approval ? What if I get an RFE ? As this is a consulting firm, they have work order from end client for only 3 months and it will be renewed after every 3 months. Will this 3 month work order will create any problems ?
3) What is my current status ? Will the current time while H4 is pending will be counted against H1 or H4 ? As I have only a little over year left in my H1, it is important for me to know how much valid time I have left for H1. This processing time could go in months if I get an RFE.
