I applied for H1-B visa on April 2007 and the petition was approved from October 2007 to 26Th of September 2010 but when I came to USA consulate office to get the visa it became pending putting under administrative processing. It took almost 3 years to get the reconfirmation and last week I received the visa.
The visa issuing date is 27Th May and the expiry date is 24Th August but there is another date in bottom right part of it as PED : 26 September 2010 which is my petition's expiry date.
Now I am planning to move to USA for a long term stay so that I am selling my stuff, renting my house,.. and I just got confused by considering this date.Does this mean my visa will be expire on September and my H1 visa is just for some months? In this case does this mean I have lost 3 years of the total 6 years of the H1 visa? or the the officer issuing the visa on I-94 form in the ports of entry can issue the visa for 3 years as a normal H1-B visa?
I have arranged with my employer to start the job on 10Th of July and I will enter USA on 8Th, so up to 26Th of September which is the PED date will be less than 3 months and if the white I-94 card that will be in my passport should correspond with the expiration of the petition, the total of my work duration, will be less than 3 months which really doesn't make sense at all but as it seems that's it!
It seems now the only way is to apply for H1-b extension. So there will be these questions:
1- how will be the process and how much are the fees?
2- How long does it take?
3- Do I have to go back to my home country to get the new stamp for extension?
4- Is there any way to renew it in USA ?
5- Is 2.5 months of work enough to apply for extension? or I have to come sooner if it is really necessary.
6- In my first interview on 2007 they got all the original documents from me and never return them back to me. should I ask for duplication?
7- Is there anything else that my employer and I should know and consider?
I have to know the answers to these questions, first to arrange with employer and to see if they are interested and also to decide about our stuff, jobs, properties,... in my home country before entring the USA, otherwise it can be the loose of everything for us.
Please help me

I did change my address when my 140 is pending, i did take care of AR11 form and after that you will be given a screen for change of address on the pending applications, i did do that too.
After 3 days LUD was also changed with the new address change, i received a letter from USCIS about the change of my address on file.
My 140 also approved successfully on 08/15/2007

Dear XXXXX:
Thank you for contacting me in support of recapturing unused
employment-based immigrant visas and imposing fees for
immigration services for intracompany transferees. I apologize for
the delay in my reply, but I appreciate hearing from you and I
welcome the opportunity to respond.
I agree that the U.S. government should recapture unused
employment-based immigrant visas and impose immigration service
fees for those visas. As you may know, the United States Senate
version of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, S. 1932, included a
provision that would recapture up to 30,000 H-1B visas that had not
been issued in prior years. Also, S. 1932 would impose an additional
$500 fee to obtain these recaptured visas. These provisions were not
included in the House-passed version of the Deficit Reduction Act of
2005, H.R. 4241. Unfortunately, the Conference Committee, which
was responsible for resolving the differences between the House and
Senate versions of the bill, did not include this provision in the
final
version of S. 1932. The final version of S. 1932 passed in the House
by a vote of 216-214 on February 1, 2006. President Bush signed this
bill into law on February 8, 2006.
Please be assured that I will keep our shared support for
recapturing unused employment-based visas and imposing fees for
immigration services for these visas very much in mind as Congress
considers immigration issues.
Thank you again for contacting me. As your Representative in
the United States Congress, it is a privilege and an honor to serve you
and to act as your voice in Washington. Please feel free to contact me
again with any other issue or matter that concerns you. You may also
want to visit my website at www.house.gov/rothman where you can
sign up for my e-newsletter and keep current with my latest
Congressional activities and policy statements.
Sincerely,
Steven R. Rothman

Friends,
I am in the 8th year of H1b and I have been juggling this idea of changing my job because of a sucking work environment. I have Eb3 labor(it was applied in eb3 even though my job required and i had the eb2 experience) approved and 140 approved so can I get 3 year extension by changing my job or do you suggest to first get 3 year extension and then change, in which case will I still get 3 year extension is the question.
Once you find a job, ask the new employer to apply for a 3 year extension based on the approved I-140 (the courtesy copy should be enough). You can retain the old priority date when you re-start the GC process with the new company (if the current employer maintains the LC/I-140: not sure what happens if either is revoked).

Hi called USCIS to find out about my I-485 application....the lady who answered my call told me that my application was under extended review....she would'nt disclose much nor did I ask any additional info.
I did google for Extended review + I485 and found out a couple of links where people have been stuck in extended review for days / months / years....don't know what to make of it....
my PD is May 2004 and RD is Aug 9 2007 ...EB2 India....The lawyers have not received any RFE/ any email from USCIS since the day I have filed my I-485...I found out about it today when I called to just inquire about my case status ...
Anybody else had similar issue or heard about "extended review"...
Admin's any knowledge about what this is....
Thanks

First, there is nothing called "sponsoring a visitor visa". You cannot sponsor . Every visitor need to qualify on his/her own.
If you mean sending an invite letter and copy of your H1 to show they are visiting you , it is fine.
If you mean sending I-134 -- Affidavit of Support -- the Affidavit has no legal value. If the visitors do not have enough liquid cash, they can say that you will fund the trip (and you can send your bank statements to prove). Anybody else (like your siblings in home country) can also fund the trip. If they have cash, best is to show that as source of their trip.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. That cleared a lot of confusion. If I apply lets say, 3 weeks before the expiration of her I-94, does she have to leave as soon as her current I-94 expires of can she wait for the decision? I she can wait what status will she be in once her current I-94 expires and the extension is still pending?

Post date is NOT Important. What's important is the "delivered" date. Think about. USCIS can't and is not responsible for postal delays. If one sends a package and somehow it does not get delivered for 14 days, USCIS cannot mark the application received until and when it receives it, period.
Please check before posting untrue statements. So even if your application reaches the uscis on the July 3rd, but uscis enters your application to the system on August 1st, your filed date will be July 3rd. So don't worry. Make sure your package reaches USCIS in July and you will be OK.

This is my first time posting here and hope that it would ease my path.
I am trying to find if any one had the experience or has known about someone filing and H1B with a BSc in Health Sciences in Health Care with Respiratory Therapy option.
I know it is not possible to get an H1B on Respiratory therapy therefore I am looking for options as a healthcare administrator, health care analyst, health informatics, etc.
I have done alot of courses in computers like: MS applications, Oracle, Unix, Windows Adminstration, etc and I am close to get an associates in CS too.
Question:
- Are there any healthcare fields that require Bachelors degree to get H1 in my case?
- Can I work in IT and get H1 if the job description says Bachelors in any field?

So is the economic downturn over already, if you look at the recent H1B filings it may well be the case. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has updated its periodic count of FY2010 H-1B cap (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) filings, revealing that there has been a significant increase in the rate of filings during the month of October 2009. USCIS has stated that it has received a sufficient number of petitions to use all of the available 20,000 H-1B numbers that are reserved for individuals with advanced degrees from U.S. colleges or universities, which means that the "advanced degree" H-1B cap for FY2010 has been reached. H-1Bs for individuals with advanced degrees from U.S. colleges or universities can still be filed, but those petitions will now count toward the general H-1B cap of 65,000.
Around 6,200 cap-subject H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) petitions were filed in October 2009. This is a significant number, especially when compared to the only 1,500 filings received by USCIS in September 2009. In total, as of October 25, 2009, approximately 52,800 H-1B petitions that count against the congressionally-mandated 65,000 limit have been received by USCIS. This leaves only around 12,000 H-1B cap numbers for FY2010, without taking into account the 6,800 H-1B cap numbers that are reserved for nationals of Chile and Singapore. If all 6,800 of these "reserved" numbers are removed from the 65,000 cap along with the 52,800 H-1B cap petitions already received, there are only around 5,400 FY2010 H-1B cap numbers remaining.
As a practical matter, USCIS will likely accept well more than 5,400 additional cap cases in FY2010, as the number of cases USCIS will accept anticipates that a certain number of filings will be withdrawn or denied. Additionally, nowhere near the full 6,800 Chile/Singapore numbers have historically been actually used by nationals of Chile or Singapore. Thus, most of those numbers are applied by USCIS to the general 65,000 cap.
While USCIS is still accepting H-1B petitions for FY 2010, the recent jump in filing means that by mid December or so we will have no Visas left. My advice go ahead and file now.

I am planning to apply for Schengen visa in an Italian consulate. I have an expired H1 but a valid AP. According to the italian consulate website, here is one of the visa requirements
"passport or travel document valid for at least three months after visa expiry date"
My passport is expiring in 2 years but my AP will be expiring in about 2 1/2 months from the Schengen visa expiry. Will I have an issue getting a visa ?
Do I have a workaround ?
Thanks
