If you have the valid H1b stamped while your 485 is pending and got RN,FP done,you should not have any issues in POE.So are you done with your FP?? Its always safe you wait for FP and finish it and then decide your travel plans.
HTH,
I travelled after 485, got h1b stamping , came baack and recently my checks also got cashed and am looking for the Reciept Notice also.
I did not have any issues anywhere.
For FP - you just have to make sure someone is checking ur mailbox so that you will know when FP date comes, and you can postphone FP to a later date when you return

Restarting wouldn't be a bad idea in my case as i'm EB3 ROW and i do have an approved I140 on EB3.
But in my case i have over 4 years of work experience, but do not have a masters degree, so any idea if that is possible ?
My gut feeling is that regardless if i'm not able to qualify for EB2, my PD JUN 2006 will get current in a couple of months - just hopefull :rolleyes:

ofcourse they have been wasting watching stupid games in TVs / Stadiums instead could use 'that' time to gain some new skills / learn new technologies that are required to survive in the job market
First of all, is your profile legitimate? It shows your PD as Dec'07 / EB3/India and you are in 485 processing??????
anyway, as long as some fools doesn't admit the facts and realize the changing world, all those forums / blogs / hatred etc; will be just a waste of their time. ofcourse they have been wasting watching stupid games in TVs / Stadiums instead could use 'that' time to gain some new skills / learn new technologies that are required to survive in the job market.

I have a EB2 labor that is approved from BEC. But i have already applied 140 and 485 using EB3 labor and both are pending. Now I am planning to interfile 485 once my old 140 approves.
My question is does my labor expire, If I dont use it to file 140.
Thanks for your advice.

Its not a surprise to anyone who is member of this forum that how efficient PEBC works!! As a matter of fact I have an excellent example here with my Labor Certification, which I wanted to share with you all.
My company just received a latter titled as "Confirmation of Withdrawal" which states that your Labor Processing Application filed in November xx, 2004 is withdrawn, as requested by your letter dated August xx, 2004.
Isn't that amazing that they are so swamped and desperate in eliminating the backlog that they do not know the chronological order of the dates also?
Backlog Elimination Centers' are the biggest waste of Taxpayers Money, I think.

You can donate one H1B to someone who needs it...just kidding..your both H1Bs are valid.
No need to update company2 about the extension.
When you go for stamping then carry necessary papers for compnay2...simply forget about compnay1. Thanks.

My lawyer explicity told "NOT" to flipflop even without me asking.
My attorney has asked for the I-485 to be printed:
double sided with Flip to Top option.
Did anyone else do the same?

Hello,
I've been working on EAD for about 4 years now as priority dates are backed up a lot. My I-140 has been approved in 2007 and still waiting on I-485 to get approved. My current employer is not my original sponsor. I changed jobs after the "180 days post I-485 receipt" policy. Now, I'm interested to accept an offer (similar job) in another state. How will this affect my I-485 if I'm changing employers for the 3rd time and this time, at another state?
Thank you very much.
In EAD, there is no restriction on the number of times you can change the job and also in what state you are employed (could be different from the one your labor was filed), provided the new job is in same or similar category.
In your case (moving to a difrerent state), chance of getting RFE for EVL is high. So make sure that the new employer can provide a EVL stating that the new job is in the same or similar category as your old one (for which the labor got approved).
Other than that, you should be fine...
BTW, dont forget to file AR-11 within 10 days of your change of address.

Does anyone have any names and suggestions on the best lawyers in the US? Dan19, could you please tell me which lawyer the person consulted with who got his LC approved? I have contacted Carl Shusterman and have a phone appointment with him on Monday. Any ideas would be appreciate since I don't have much time left cuz I need response to the letter by Sept 27, which is two weeks from now.
I really appreciate everyone's input on my labor certification problem. The letter I got from the labor department is a letter with intent to deny application which means my LC is not denied yet but that they are considering of denying it if I couldn't provide evidence to explain why the job description is restrictive. On the letter however, I am not given the option to readvertise. So my lawyer plans to request for that but he said most likely the Labor department will not grant the consent for me to readvertise
sent you a PM with my recommendation of a lawyer

Hi, I have a few questions about H-1B and switching to B1/2 status. I was recently laid off, and have an effective termination date of Apr 27. My firm also told me that they typically notify USCIS of this on May 15th. I am currently looking for a new job, but want to also plan in case I don't find one. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read these questions and help me out with them.
1. If I find a new job before May (or May 15th), can I start working the moment the new employer files a petition? Do we have to wait for any notification from USCIS (like a receipt) first? If not, can I work the same date as the postmark date of the filing?
2. In the above case, does my employer still have to file an LCA with DoL? If so, how long does this process take? I guess what I'm trying to wonder is, if I accept an offer and they begin paperwork on Day 1, what day can I actually work?
3. If I do not find a job, when should I file an I-539 to change status to B1/2 (does it matter if B1 or B2?)? I guess what "postmark" date should I do this by? Apr 27? May 15th?
4. After I mail in the change of status, but haven't actually changed yet (I hear this can take 2 months?), and I get a job offer, when can I start working? Do I lose my "instant-work" ability, and have to wait for the H1-B petition to clear? Is this when I want to use Premium Processing and hopefully be ready in 2 weeks? What happens to my pending B1/2 application?
5. If I already received my B1/2 change of status, and now find a job, when can I work? Is this the same as Question 4?
6. I understand that I am no longer subject to the cap, so my employer simply has to file a LCA and a petition for H1-B, in general?
7. In the I-539 form, it asks to mail in my I-94 card (original). Until I get a new one, what status am I in? If I end up leaving the country then, what card do I surrender? It feels weird to not have a I-94 on my passport...
8. The I-539 form seems simple enough to fill out. Any thoughts on whether I need a lawyer for this?
9. Did I forget anything? :confused:
Thanks so much again. I look forward to your helpful replies.

People applying for tourist visas for the United States in Qatar have greater chance of accessing them than in any other GCC country. Figures released by the US Administration suggest that only 3.2 percent requests for US tourist visas made to the US embassy in Doha were turned down in the FY 2010.
A US government website citing tourist visa (B-Visas) refusal details country-wise said the data were preliminary through September 30, 2010. As for Qatar, the data show this was the lowest percentage of tourist visa refusal in the entire GCC region. The next Gulf state with a lower percentage of rejection was Kuwait (3.6 percent). Bahrain ranked third with a 4.1 percent rejection rate while the percentage for the largest GCC state Saudi Arabia was six.
As for Oman and the UAE, the percentages were higher-8.7 and 9.7, respectively. The GCC states ranked much above their peers in the Arab world like Egypt, Yemen, Sudan and even Iraq. The rate of B-visa rejection in these countries was more than 30 percent.
Somalia topped the list with a rejection rate of almost 70 percent followed by Djibouti (60.2 percent), Yemen (54.3 percent), Mauritania (49.7 percent) and Iraq (42.2 percent). It is interesting to note that the next Arab country after the GCC states with lower refusal percentage was Libya (14.3 percent). Morocco with a refusal rate of 15.5 percent and Tunisia with 15.6 percent rejection ranked next.
Among non-Arab Asian countries, China with a 13.3 percent rejection rate and India with double that percentage fared better than Pakistan (41.6 percent) and the Philippines (38 percent). Sri Lanka (28.6 percent) and Bangladesh (36.4 percent) were much better off as compared to Pakistan and the Philippines. US embassy officials were not immediately available for comment but it is understood that after Qatar Airways introduced flights to major US cities beginning June 2007, tourist visa requests from Qatari nationals as well as expatriates here have multiplied.

I do not have personal experience with Fragomen; however I have heard that it is the large immigration law firm in the country.
The only problem (as far as I know) with them is that your PERM WILL be audited (according to DOL memo). This may lead to delays (and god only knows how long...)
Most people on this forum know this fact; I mentioned it as you appear to be the novice player...

Hi,
My wife is going to apply for both H4 and H1 visa. Since marriage is in March end, she will come to US on H4 visa. Her H1 visa will be applied as if she were in India. Now her I94 will say H4. Once she gets her H1B, she will have to go out of country to get new I94.
We can go to Mexico to get it stamped and hence get new I94. If for some reason, H1B is rejected, can she still enter the US on H4 visa?
Thanx,
My advice - Bring her in using H4 visa stamped on her passport based on your H1B. The H1, even if she gets (in the 2009 quota which needs to be applied on April 1st 2008) cannot be used before Oct 2008 as all new H1s can be used only from the month of Oct. That H1B approval will come with its I-94 attached. Once October arrives, she can start working on her H1B. She does not need to go anywhere to get it stamped.
When you go out of USA on vacation the next time, she can have her H1B visa stamped on her passport.

Hello all,
I am currently on H1B visa working for an IT company. I have got an admit for this Fall to do my MS and I was planning to study using my EAD. Now there seems to be some risk in using my EAD and so I want to apply for F1. I have applied for I-485 (Adjustment of status) along with my husband's green card application.
My question is:
1: Is it a problem to apply for F1 if my I-485 is pending approval ? The reason I ask is, F1 is a Non Immigrant visa and I-485 is for a green card (which is Immigrant visa).
2: Would my F1 application cause my 485 to be denied or vice versa ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Answer 1:
Yes,probably it will be a mistake.Tell your Employer or Attorney to the get the appointment in the local uscis office and sent them the cover letter to uscis saying that we didn't request for I-140 to be withdrawn and we still need that person and want to hire that person in the future.Remember that GC is for your future job.I think so once uscis recieved the cover letter from your employer and attorney you should be fine.Is your I-140 was in process at that time or it was approved earlier.
Answer 2:
You should not be have any problems if some other employer file your labor and GC process.It will not effect anything regarding previous labor.

If u transfer within 30 days of getting ur new H1, u probably don't need paystubs. You can initiate the trasfer (premium) and wait for the approval and then quit from the current company. That way u'll be safe.
