Folks,
Got a question on surrendering I-94 when leaving USA. Do we just need to surrender the one issued in POE when coming to USA, or we need to surrender the I-94 that came with I-797 approval notice as well. I'm getting different opinion from different folks, Some say surrender only the White one issued in POE, few say surrender the one attached to I-797 approval notice as well. One friend of my mine, was asked to show the part attached to I-797 when he went for visa stamping and luckily he surrendered only the white one issued in POE and he did not surrender the one attached to I-797, so he had it with him.
Folks, please share your experience on this.
Sorry for the new thread, if this had been discussed on other threads as well.
Thanks,
I think the number on both will be the same so if you submit any one that is enough. When you come back you get a new I-94 number

My H1-B is valid from September 14 2006 to September 14 2007.I got laid off recently; my LC is pending Dallas Backlog center last 3 years, I got new job and submitted my last pay stub December 15 2006 to my new Lawyer with my ex lawyer contact address. I do not know whether there will be any hassle in USCIS for my H1-B 8th year extension approval? My new lawyer is yet to file my premium H1B extension. I am very anxious regarding the uncertainty of extension.

For those of you who have rotted in the BEC and USCIS..for many years..that has eventually denied you from being a citizen sooner..there are some posts in immigration.com I saw that talks about some kind of a campign to capture lost time...most of you will get GC soon..if you have wasted time..please look at a new campaign to recapture the lost time towards your citizenship

If she will not be able to get F1, what will be her status in USA ?
If she has filed for I-485 then she will be in Adjustment status - allowing her to study, work on EAD and travel overseas on AP. If she hasn't applied for I-485 when her F1 is denied then she will have to come back on H4 - she can study but not work.

I never entered the US in the first place.
You can try to move existing visa to the new employer if it has not been revoked by the employer. If you are not working for them...they are supposed to revoke it.
The process for moving to a new employer with existing visa is almost the same as applying for a new one except that you are not subject to the annual cap of 65K
Considering that you have the old employer stamped on your visa...it will cause confusion at the airport or POE and they might send you back
Its better to file a new application since you are not in the US

Can anyone tell me what is ADIT processing?
I am assuming that you got 485 approval letter and it talks about ADIT.
I think there was a long and detailed reply by somebody on this forum about ADIT
Do some research and PLEASE put complete details in the post if you want a meaningful answer.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I was wondering if you may have a separate section compiling all searchable supporting references together. I did not doubt that there should be summaries in the thread. It just like seeking a needle in a sea.
I am writing to a District representatives urging them to support SKIL Bill. I believe if some supportive evidence or references will make my letter strong.

Job visas only for highly skilled, salaried foreigners: govt (http://in.news.yahoo.com/20/20101020/1416/tnl-job-visas-only-for-highly-skilled-sa.html)
Wed, Oct 20 03:12 PM
New Delhi, Oct 20 (PTI) In an attempt to prevent foreigners from getting non-technical jobs, the government has made it clear that citizens of other countries will be taken only for highly-skilled assignments in India and should draw an annual salary of over USD 25,000. In an order, the Home Ministry nullified a Labour Ministry circular which allows one per cent foreigners among the total work force in any project with a minimum of five and maximum of 20 people. "An employment visa is granted to a foreigner if the applicant is a highly skilled and/or qualified professional, who is being engaged or appointed by a company/organisation/ industry/undertaking in India on contract or employment basis," according to the Home Ministry guidelines. Besides, the ministry made it clear that employment visa shall not be granted for jobs for which qualified Indian are available and also for routine, ordinary or secretarial/ clerical jobs. "The foreign national being sponsored for an employment visa in any sector should draw a salary in excess of USD 25,000 per annum," it says. However, this condition of annual floor limit on income will not apply to ethnic cooks, language teachers (other than English), staff working for the Embassy/High Commission concerned in India. The Labour Ministry had ordered that visa applications could be cleared by the Indian missions abroad at their level if the foreign national is skilled and qualified professional, technical experts, senior executives or in managerial positions and those kinds of skills which are not available in India.

Regarding "how soon can you go for stamping"
Depends on the consulate. Mumbai consulate allows you to go for stamping 90 days prior to start of your extension. In your case if your extension starts on 1st October 2010, you can go for stamping as early as 5th July 2010. Since you are expecting to receive the extension by August you can go for stamping as soon as you receive it.
I would recommend dropping a mail to VFS and asking this question for the consulate you are interested in.

My visa is H4 and I got my EAD last month, but my family's I-140 and I-485 on pending, if I use my EAD , unfortunately I-140 we can not pass, is that means I must leave U.S.A. in ten days?

Taxes are paid on earned money only. Not loans.
If your spouse takes a student loan in USA, there are other advantages though. He/she can claim student loan deduction on the taxes !! Not sure your Indian bank would provide the necessary forms to you or if they have a legal obligation to submit anything to IRS here.

Just wondering if anybody is giving up hopes of GC and switching from H1B to E3D (Dependent of Australian spouse) to take advantage of 2-yr renewable EADs...? How long does it take to get the initial EAD...Continue working without pay (or is there a workaround) while waiting for EAD?....any problems getting visa stamped with a 'yes' for past immigrant petition filed...
7yrs in this country...EB2 PD of 10/07 due to job changes..no 140 yet, no 485...6yrs in same job? no promotions? with 3yr extensions...frustration beyond words...E3D seems to a ray of hope but no idea of complications involved.
Yeah its frustrating everyone waiting for a GC .. I think doing something is better than nothing. Go with your spouse. Who knows things might take a turn for the better.

With so many proposals and so many amendments to the so many proposals (:rolleyes: ), which one would actually (or at least help to) eliminate the current backlogs (i.e., make the priority date current)? :confused:
We should make sure that any bill that potentially becomes a law will resolve the current retrogression issue (instead of making it worse).
So before we decide the bill to support, can anyone tell which bill will eliminate retrogression? Maybe we can categorize all the bills into the following types:
1. Will definitely eliminate retrogression if the bill becomes law
2. May eliminate retrogression or may make it worse if the bill becomes law
3. Will definitely make retrogression worse if the bill becomes law
4. Will have no impact on retrogression if the bill becomes law
:D

Thanks. I like your idea;A better place for that would be any country where expatriates work in the Middle East ( Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman etc)
I think if there is no time limit ( currently 6 years) on h1 visa and there are 3 yr extensions, it will make all of our lives so much easier.
There will be no hurry to apply for GCs and those who really want to stay in US forever will apply, thus reducing all this backlogs too.
Any thoughts.

As per my knowledge as long as H1B extension is applied and is in pending status you can stay/work. Is it a perm or regular case? I had my perm approved in 2 weeks. Last time my employers did a regular and it took approx 3 months.
If it gets rejected then you can use EAD, if you have one. Otherwise i think you have to leave the country in 30 days (or 15 days, i am not sure abt this).

Hi,
I have applied my I-485 (EB3, PD - 2004 Feb) last week. Planning to file EB2 PERM with the same employer next week for porting the EB3 dates. My doubts are
1) Can we file an interim application at I-485 stage for porting the EB3 priority date for EB2, rather than filing a second I-485?
2) After the EB2 I-140 approval, do we need to wait for my priority dates to become current for submitting the interim application for EB2 I-485?
3) I am doing this for getting the GC comparitively earlier. But is there any issues/threats for doing like this?
Gurus, please comment the pros and cons of this.

As the H1B season (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) still in full force, we would like to share this great tip from AILA. This post discuss where to file H-1B extensions for beneficiaries working for petitioners, which are not cap exempt, but who are "employed at" cap exempt facilities.
The VSC (Vermont Service Center) refers to the September 10, 2009, USCIS Guidance regarding the direct filing address for I-129 petitions, noting that H-1B employers filing petitions which are cap exempt must file such petitions exclusively with the California Service Center.
VSC notes that in this instance, the term "cap exempt" refers only to those petitioners who are exempt from the numerical limitations identified in 8 CFR 214.2 (h)(8)(i)(A). "Cap exempt" petitioners are those described in 8 CFR 214.2(h)(19)(iii), and include:
* Institutions of higher education as defined in section 101(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, 20 U.S.C. 1001(a);
* Nonprofit organizations or entities connected or associated with institutions of higher education, as described in 8 CFR 214.2(h)(19)(iii)(B);
* Nonprofit research organizations or governmental research organizations as defined in 8 CFR 214.2(h)(19)(iii)(C); and
* Petitioners who otherwise would not be "cap exempt," but will be employing the beneficiary to perform job duties at a qualifying cap exempt institution, provided that the beneficiary's duties will directly or predominantly further the normal, primary, or essential purpose, mission, objectives or function of the qualifying cap exempt institution.
All petitions for individuals "employed at" cap exempt facilities will be rejected by the VSC, even if the beneficiary is working for a petitioner which is not cap exempt. So this is a major point to keep in mind.
