For them there are strict check at airports.
Hope so, but the cases of AP being refused entry are extremely rare. You'll have a hard time finding them on forums. while 80% of consulting company H1bs may get 221g, it could be less than 1% of AP holders who face issues.

Thanks for your reply. My main question is, if I do the H1B transfer (to a company other than the one that filed my labor, 140, 485), who has to submit the application for my spouse's 485 (when the priority date becomes current), my new employer or the old one that originally filed my 485?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Last year I had already filed for married filing jointly before stimulus check thing was in discussion. From what I understand once you file married filing jointly you cannot amend to married filing separately. You can amend otherwise.
Anyhow this year if I do my taxes separately I end up owing to IRS. Does anyone know where to look for info for amendment?
Thanks

past performance is not always a good indicator of future one.All strong organization are build by converting perceived distracters into strong supporters.
I agree, support from any org or forum is good for our cause and would definitely broden our support base.
I have seen couple of postings from 'gc_2010', they sound negative, it is better to ingnore them rather then taking pains to clarrify those postings.

Thank you Tom and Zcool.
I did try asking my manager and the vendor if they could mention that the project could go on for another 3 years but was not successful.
The letter that I got from my manager did mention that I have been working for them (client) since jun, 2005 under a contract extendable in 6 month increments and they see a need for me for the forseeable future.
I believe my company has some direct clients... I will ask my employer to attach those contracts as well.
Again, Thank you very much for your replies.

TV25,
1) You were in H4 at first when U came to this country.
2) Then you were sponsored(H1) by some company.
3) you worked for 3 months.
4) went overseas to get stamped(visa) for H1. But they put you on hold for administrative process.
5) You decided to return with H4 visa that was valid at that time. (although technically you are not supposed to enter using H4 since you already started working on H1)
6) You came back to US on H4.
7) Get a letter from USCIS that h1 is denied.
What surprised me the whole time was, why did the consulate not cancel the existing H4 visa, since your status already changed?
That's the first thing they do, when you go for visa stamping...they cancel without prejudice, and issue a new visa....even if its going thru a administrative process, they would still cancel it, cause the assumption is you are going to get the new visa once the process is complete.
See that's what I exactly said in my last post. The COS that is obtained in the US is a "privelege" it is by no means supposed to over ride what the consulate decides in terms of the visa stamp. That is exactly the reason some of the applications get a H1 approval without the I-94. This is done because they are in no position to verify a lot of things that the consulate can verify. If you have a valid H4 stamp and you want to get back into H4 status instead of applying for another COS, you can go out of the country and enter using H4 and your status will change to H4.
Anyway, like I said in our case I asked the IO behind the counter in vancouver if she can use H4 to enter the US his response was "It depends on the officer at the POE ". Guys I spent a good two days researching this topic while we were stuck in vancouver. Basically you can come back but your status is reverted back to H4. You are not supposed to work once you are in the US. In our case we immediately applied for another COS prem processing within the US and it got approved. My wife again changed jobs last year on H1 and that got approved too.
In this case, the misrepresentation of facts in her H1 app is something the poster might want to get clarified. She should be fine.

I keep on hearing about cases of 2000 and before. Good luck to your friend. I am with PD Sep 2001 and I am too mentally prepared to wait for more years..:D
I recently came across an old friend of mine. I was shocked to hear his case. He is an original applicant EB3 India with PD of September 1998. Please note he is the original applicant and this is not labor substitution.
Here are the details
Sep 1998 : Applied with Texas Workforce Commision as regular Non RIR.
Oct 2001: TWC asked to do recruitment. No action was taken on submitting results.
October 2006 : Labor finally approved from Dallas BEC. Concurrently file I 140 and I 485.
Jan 2007 : I 140 approved.
Nov 2007: Took Infopass appointment. Was told case pending name check.
This case is absolutely amazing. My friend doesnt care anymore since he recently married US citizen (genuine case ABCD). He has worked at the same company since 1998 and stuck to stupid job (non IT). My PD is August 2001 and seeing his case I am getting mentally prepared for much much longer wait.
Thanks

Not sure why you guys still use the paper filing route rather than e-filing. Then you wouldnt be wondering about check cashing etc etc. I have e-filed for both AP and EAD for the last 3 years. Last time my wife's e-filed EAD came in less than 4 weeks.
Wake up people .... E-filing is better than paper filing !!!

IMHO, this is a legitimate website as I have been getting updates from them regularly and they are a supporting group for illegal immigrants path to legalization. As per the email I received today, anti-immigrants have sent 693,437 faxes to Washington this month to oppose reform.

appealing/motion to reopen doesn't allow you to stay in USA.
If employer revokes 140 then no basis for getting h-1b extensions.
Can H1 be extended on basis that I-485 filled and pending for more then 1 year?

Hello,
Yes, as my PD is Feb 2005, this implies that the case has been pre-adjudicated as of now pending new finger prints.
My case was originally at NSC, was then send to MSC (National Benefits Center) and then was sent to local USCIS office in San Francisco where I went for an interview and then had this request for documents. The processing dates for San Francisco field office as of now for I-485 are Aug 1, 2008. So, I'm assuming that they have cleared all the cases that reached them by 31 July 2008 and that NSC sent my case file to them by 31st July 2008.
The IO who interviewed me was different than the one who has worked on my case since.
Yes, thanks for the wishes...but in this process, nothing is certain till the physical receipt of the cards, right? :)
PS: As far as I know, fingerprints and medical records are the two documents that may expire...apart from the applicant! ;)
Good reminder to all of us, which we keep forgetting (about our own expiry) :).
Anyway, I would suggest to cut short your trip if possible and finish this pending work ASAP.
In any case, my wishes are with you, even though you are cutting the line :).

same story for me, i just moved to different unit in the same apartment. everything remains the same. Same city, same zip code, same employer.. Somehow i believe address change triggered the RFE. Probably the change in the file pushed my file in FIFO and someone looked into it and gave a RFE. Will have to wait till i get the actual letter.

Hi I am really grateful to you all for responding to my problem. I have attached the agreement for your reference.
To Zcool,
I don't have a job right now with this vendor But in the future if the vendor finds me a job shall I work with him.
Thanks,
Uday
You should not have quit the job under mere threat of lawsuit esp. when he did not have anything to hold over you anyways, In future, of course, just to be on safer side, send a back dated letter with your resignation and date it to your last working date for that employer that way your 12 month counter starts from that back date..

I have two 797s: one which is current valid till June 2007 and the other from July '07 till July '10 (using my approved I140). I am going for visa stamping this March at Chennai consulate. Can they combine both my 797s and stamp me till 2010 or they'll do it only till June 2007?
