My H1B 6th year expires in December 07,
I applied for I140 using 2004 approved labor in July 1st week and applied for 485 this week.
I read a article in murthy.com http://www.murthy.com/news/UDh121st.html
Substitution Beneficiary Enjoys H1B Extension Benefit!
In a particularly liberal construction of the law, Mr. Yates indicates that, if a labor certification, previously approved for another "green card" candidate but unused for that candidate, is now being used to support an I-140 petition for an H1B status holder, the date of filing of the original labor certification may be used for that H1B nonimmigrant to file for one-year incremental H1B extensions, as long as additional proof is submitted that the person has a pending or approved I-140 based on that labor certification. Under this interpretation, therefore, a person who is using a substituted labor certification that was filed more than 365 days prior, but whose employer filed the I-140 petition for the H1B employee only two months before the six-year H1B window expired, is now eligible for the one-year incremental extensions.
Can I get 7th year extension with help of I140 receipt?
Is any one applied for H1B 7th year extension using 21st Century DOJ Appropriations Act, if yes what type of documentation we need to submit while applying for extension?
If there is any answer in previous links please past the link here.
My attorney has no idea about 21st Century DOJ Appropriations Act.
Seniors please need your advice immediately
Thank you

Anything we can do to complain and bring attention to the EB3 processing delays at Nebraska service center?
As it was they were moving very slow and processing dates have been stuck in Jan 07 for past couple of months. Plus results show hardly any approvals this year so far especially for retrogressed countries.
To top it now a few people having spoken with nebraska are reporting that only 140's (EB3...this doesn't seem to apply to EB2 for some reason) with current priority dates are being processed. That they will only start processing again in May 08. Who's to say come May 08, they won't go back to square one and say "oh we're still processing jan 07 and we will only move a few days each month when it comes to processing dates"
Which would be fine if people weren't waiting, depending on the 140 approvals to a) keep their H1b status 2) go back on h1b status 3) change jobs.
I think this is totally unfair to do this to EB3 category. Why are they picking on EB3 category like this?
Is there anything that can be done?

Your 9 month initial stay will not be counted as you stayed 1 year out of usa.
So total L1 period is 13 months so far. and Total of l1+h1 is 6 years. so you can have 4 years + 9 months on H1 and your initial H1 will be for 3 years

More fraudulent L1 -> EB1 filings.
Being able to build and certify a vehicle does not mean anything. The key to success is reliability and consistent quality. If the consumer is not certain that his/her car will fire up at the first crank, every morning, day after day for 10 years. I wish Mahindra the best, being familiar with their developement team and process, I am certain that they have an up-hill task

Hello All,
Brief History: I am working for a Food Processing company (A) in R&D. Company A was my sponsor for GC. I have been on EAD since Oct 2007 (filed 485 during July-Aug 2007 time period) :) . My I-140 was approved Jan 2007. My GC application was started in Apr 2006 - Perm process. Also, i still have my H1B(Extension) valid until Apr 2010. Company A uses a consulting firm for roughly about 25 - 35% of R&D projects.
Reason to change: I believe this opportunity will have a significant change/growth to my career.
Questions: :confused: Can i change my job to the consulting firm using EAD? What are the consequences i should expect from USCIS? Does the Consulting company have to get involved with any Immigration fillings?
If i decide to work for the consulting firm, i will still be doing the same job for Company A but as a consultant + I will have additional projects with other Food Processing companies. I think labor application job description won't change (Company A to Consulting Firm) and this is where i struggle to understand the rules. Need your thoughts and Advice.
Appreciate your help and Thanks for your time.

You are so fortunate. My priority date is May 2006, but my I-140 was only approved & received by NVC last January. We have similar question. I hope the statement from the FAQ of NVC (check http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1309.html) will help us.
---------------------------
Why don't you have my case at NVC yet?
When you complete a petition (I-130, I-140, etc.) for an immigrant visa you send it to Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security for approval. If the [B]CIS approves the petition they will send you a Notice of Approval (I-797) and then they will send the petition to NVC. There is a delay between when you get the Notice of Receipt and the Notice of Approval from CIS and also between when you get the Notice of Approval and when NVC receives the petition. After NVC receives the petition, we will create a case record and assign a case number. We recommend that you wait at least three weeks after you get your Notice of Approval before calling NVC if you have not heard from the Center by that time.
----------------------------
Am I then safe to assume that the first approved petition to reach the NVC will be processed first? So between us, you go first!

You DO know working for cash is illegal, don't you?
No, you can not work on 1099 for any other company.
Yes, the only option is work on cash.

You are paroled into US until Dec 05, 2009. But if you want to travel outside US after July 29, you better apply for AP now.
Hi Friends,
I am confused with AP expiration date.
The printed exiration date is :July 29, 2009
But my latest paroled stamp on AP it is : Dec 05, 2009.
Which date should i follow to renew my AP?
thanks

Friends, my 140 was filed in late July 07 and it is at TSC. Going by the timeline posted on their site, I am likely to hear from TSC by late Jan 08 (i.e., six months after July 07). Any recent experiences about whether the online status changes on time or you first get the approval/RFE/rejection physically and then online status reflects the status afterwards?
Thanks!

Hi,
My I797 and I94 expired on Sept 30 2009. I have applied for an H1B extension on Sept 26 2009 using premiuim processing.
H1B extension got denied on Oct 29, 2009 after we responded to an RFE on Oct 19.
RFE required me to provide Tax returns, company wage report and employment agreement.
Can any one suggest what are my available options.
How long I can stay in US?
My lawyer is still waiting for the denial letter for more details.
Thanks

Hello,
I spoke to my lawyer today and she made it very clear that it is ILLEGAL to file more than one I-485 for one applicant (from 2 diff companies). USCIS will immediately ask you to make a choice.
THought I should share this information
yes, thats because when filing I-485 you are 'promising' to join that company when you get your GC. How can you promise that to two companies at the same time.
However could you ask about being primary applicant on one petition and secondary on another (cases where both spouses are working, they can file two AOS and if either spouse decides to stop working for some reason the other application continues, the first can be withdrawn). This one is a grey area. Not illegal, but apparently at some point USCIS will ask you to pick one of the two. In this current mess where some companies/lawyers are promising to file, but may not do so in the end, better to give both choices a good shot, and hope atleast one gets through.

Hi,
is it absolutely safe to travel with pending i 485 app with valid h1b stamping with receipt notice and completed fp.?we are kind of confuded whether to plan for the travel...We have not yet received the actual advance parole. i read somwhere that if u leave the country wth pending i 485 but without ap ur appl is considered abandoned.is this true.?..we have the option to change the trip to apr too.In a nutshell is it completely safe to travel on 485 pending appl without ap with valid stamping.?:confused:
Has any1 wth the same situation has gone and come back without any issues?
Gurus ur input s greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Whats your PD? If you are on H1, have a stamping and already have the 485 receipt, the only possible issue with travel is if your 485 gets approved when you are abroad. People have still managed to enter on H1 as PoE officer apparently does not realize about your 485 approval.
If its a recent PD, then no issues, you can travel (Actually my lawyer told me I can travel even without getting the 485 receipt, but thats apparently a bit of a grey area)

Hi,
I have a pending I-485.
My case was file in jan 02. I have approved labour and I-140. I filed my I-485 in Jun 2005 and have an EAD and parole. How do I find when can I file my spouse's case.
Thanks
You PD has to be current to file I-485 for you spouse/dependent. Since you filed for I-485 in Jun '05, and based on ur PD, i guess ur case must be EB2. If EB2, then you are in a better position alteast compared to many folks here.. The PD for Mar '06 per DOS, Visa Bulletin, for EB2 is 01JAN02, Since your case has a PD of Jan 02, (Date not provided by you),
http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_2805.html
Watch for April VISA BULLETIN, The DOS publishes this ususally sometime in first 2 weeks of each month for the following month. If the Date moves forward you should be able to file sometime in April, assuming the Date moves forward. Also you can use this time to prepare the application.

Yes, If you have enough Money, Usally 8,000-10,000 $ in the bank statement( This is checked for covering any Medical Bills etc when they are here, just to make sure that the sponser is able to take care of all these when they are in US), That would be enough for you to sponser them.
