Hello,
I have recently moved from Company A(where I worked for 6 years of which last 4 years was in US on H1B) to Company B(working here for 6 months). My H1B transfer is complete but my VISA needs stamping. I need to travel to UK for 2-3 days next week.
Am I eligible to get the Visa stamping done in London? If so, is this a high risk option? How do you compare the risk of the option with the risk of alternate in making a trip to India from UK to get my Visa stamped? Does the fact that my current job is with a smaller(200 to 500 employees) IT consulting firm add to the risk significantly?
Do you think it is possible to get stamping dates around Dec 12-13?
In case VISA gets rejected in UK, what are the chances I can go back to India and get it stamped after that? And how long will that take on average?
Thanks much for your time.

My wife is currently in the US and since my PD is current we need to file her I-485. We are trying to self file and would like to know what documents do we need to provide to prove that she successfully fullfilled her 2 year home residency requirement (HRR). She left the US in January 15, 2006 and came back on H4 in February 8, 2008.
The fact that she was granted H4 visa implies that she has fullfilled the 2 year HRR but our attorney said that she needs to prove that my wife did indeed fullfill this requirement.
Has anyone been in this position?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
The stamps on the passport would show that!
Anyway, you can include your wife's paystub from the employer if she was working, university records if she was studying, etc., when she was outside USA. However, I am not sure if any of these is needed since the passport is sufficient for establishing her period of absence.

If for a moment we say USCIS has really increased the processing rate and more people are getting green cards which we see is the case. It may signal that on Oct 1st,2007 dates will move ahead of what was the scenario in May visa bulletin.
If we forget the mistake they did in July bulletin and see the brighter side that they process faster, we should hold back our applications now and wait for the scenario on Oct 1st 2007, which would be hopefully a give a good realistic forward movement in dates. Since receipt date is important we should not get emotional and send in the application. This is just a thought.
Making Current in July was anyway like a lottery which denied all calculations based on pending cases.Before getting into law suits and protests which are also needed we have to take stock of all the implications and whether we really can provide 100% to these efforts.
From the posts coming since yesterday, most of the members are agitated and it seems we fail to realize that this event itself was a miscalculation and all of us were trying to get benefit of it considering the long waits we have endured for just getting a chance to file AOS.
We also knew that even if the applications are accepted there was no way we can get our green cards for a long time. AC21 and EAD for spouse was the main aim of many applicants.
This is really a sad story of people who have sacrificed career prospects, faced family separation, made important decisions like marraige.
Hope this post makes sense and we take a step back and reconsider our actions. This is not out of fear but past experience of lawsuits explained in other posts.

F1 requires a intent of non-immigration. By filing I-140 you already showed intent to immigrate (labor approval alone will not be considered intent to immigrate). You will not be able to get COS to F1 from H1B. Even if USCIS grants your COS by mistake you will have hard-time getting a VISA at an American Embassy.
So in this case if somebody wants to study for an MBA full time, and at the same time not loose H1 (more importantly GC status), what are the options. Sometimes it is possible due to bad economy, getting a job may be hard, which is an opportunity to get some degree.

Delaware Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
Foreign physicians who received medical training in J-1 program must either return to their country or obtain a waiver before they can apply for an immigration visa, or change to almost any other nonimmigrant status. A J-1 waiver can be granted when the physician commits to practice medicine in an underserved area of the United States for at least three years. An area that is designated as Health Professional Shortage Area, Medically Underserved Area/Population or a VA facility normally qualify such requirement.
J-1 waiver applicants first submit their application (DS-3035) to DOS (Department of State) processing center. Subsequently, the applicants and the sponsoring employer must submit all information to IGA (Interested Government Agency) which will review the application and then forward the recommendation to DOS Waiver Review Division (WRD). After WRD issued its own recommendation, the case will be forwarded to USCIS for final decision.
J-1 waiver once granted, the physician will work in H-1b status. Therefore, J-1 waiver applicants must also qualify for H-1b requirements. As soon as WRD issued its recommendation, H-1b application can be submitted so that it can be adjudicated with the J-1 waiver application.
IGA can be a state department of health or any other federal agency, including Department of Veterans Affairs, the Appalachian Regional Commission, Delta Regional Authority and US Department of Health and Human Services.

My situation is tricky here. I would really appreciate any inputs.
My six years validity for H-1 B will be complete in Mid Dec 2007. I filed my Labor on March 5th in Atlanta. As you know the ATLANTA center is really really slow and I am still waiting on my Labor approval decision. I thought of applying 140 through Premium Processing. Now USCIS suspended premium processing for 140s. My question is:
Whay will be my situation if my Labor gets approved and 140 is pending as of dec 2007 as the LC is filed with less than 365 days remaining on H1 validity? Will I be out of status or can I apply for 7th year extension.
Please guide me through the process and any scenarios. Thank you in advance.

Usually I-485 processing time is 6-9 months. If your PD is current and filed before March 26 2009, you can call and find out your petition status.
I-485, EB visa processing time for TSC is showing as Mar 26 2009. is it going to be true or typo?

I am posting this question on behalf of a friend who needs some guidance w.r.t. H4 extension.
His H1b expires at the end of this month and he had applied for an H1b extension during Nov '06 after he received his I-140 approval. He received a RFE this week with USCIS requesting for additional documents. He had not applied for H4 extension during Nov '06 as his wife just moved to US in Jan 07. Her H4 expires at the end of this month. His problem is if he can apply for H4 extension for his wife, even though his own H1b has still not been extended due to a RFE. He can continue working as his application is still pending with USCIS but can he apply for H4 extension for his wife along with the additional documentation he is now going to send to USCIS in response to the RFE? Or can he apply for H4 extension based on the H1b receipt notice from USCIS? Or does he have to wait until he receives his H1b extension approved before he can apply for H4 extension? If that is the case, what would his wife's status be after her H4 expires at the end of this month and he has still not received the approval notice for H1 extension. Anyone with some knowledge in this area, please advise.

Applications were sent to NSC on July 19th' 2007. I got my receipt numbers today and all three numbers (I485, EAD & AP) start with WAC ### ### ####. The online status for the applications say that the 485 application was transfered to Texas Service Center and the EAD & AP applications were sent to Califorina Service Center.
Also just fyi, my I-140 app. is pending at NSC since Dec' 2006. So now I am all over the country :-)
Don't know its good or bad. Any idea anyone?
Is anyone else in a similar situation?
Best of luck to all....

Hi,
I am working under H1B visa and got married December last year. My wife applied for her H4 visa this month and when she got to the embassy for the interview, the consul checked and commented on the font size of her address in our marriage certificate. She said it was smaller than my address (well, she got a longer address before we got married, maybe that is why the census made it smaller) and said to my wife that it needs verification. The embassy then took all documents (her passport, our original marriage cert, etc.) and said they will call her when she needs to return for interview again.
Has anyone of you experience this? If so, any ideas how long it takes for them to call? BTW I'm Filipino. Thank you guys and God bless
I guess you should be fine once they gets satisfied with cross checking.
By the way can you please tell me in short the procedure you followed to have your wife attend H4 visa interview.
Thanks!

I used that same option for my wife as she is on EAD and working.
I am still on H1-B and used the other option related to my status.
Hi Folks,
I am currently on EAD and am applying for extension using e-file. I had a question on what do we fill in for 'Current Immigration Status'. The closest I can think about (as per the options given) is : DA - Advance Parole (Dist Auth).
Any comments?
Has anyone using EAD currently done an e-file for extension?
Thanks
