I have an appointment for H1B visa stamp @ the toronto consulate next week. This will be my second stamp (first one expired early this year).
I received a phone call from the consulate asking for my H1B receipt/notice dates and receipt number, etc...She told me that there is new rule where USCIS has to verify the I-797 petition even though you carry an original approval notice. With this rule in effect...she told me the passport wait time is miminum of 4 days.
I already booked my tickets 2 weeks ago. I'm confused. Has anyone else received a call or have recently obtain H1B stamp in toronto?
I was hoping to come back in few days and now it's going to cost me $$$$$. I wish NVARS told me this when I signed up for the appointment.

Yes lonemetro,
You can re-use priority date established on first I-140 for any sub-sequent I-140 filling. As I understand from your post, you have EB3 labor approved and have just filed for I-140 based on it.
Now, parent company wants to transfer you. Generally I would think you should be able to transfer and still have your GC process going if the company indeed is a 'parent company' but seems there is something different here.
As a general rule, as long as your previously approved I-140 remained approved, you can re-use priority date established for that I-140 for any subsequent I-140 petition. The sub-sequent petition can be with any employer, and yes, you would need a new labor to file that new I-140 :)
Try EB1 or EB2 this time :cool:

Hi
Company "a" applied for my h1b on 7th april 2009. They got an RFE in june and informed us yesterday of the same after lots of phone calls.I am not interested in working with them anymore (because of their lack of communication and bad feedback from other employees)
Meanwhile company "b" is ready to file a new h1.Can they do that.
Do i have to tell company "b" that i filed with company "a" initially but they got an rfe .
what is the correct way to file new h1
Thanks

I played around with this a bit, and found the solution. The problem occurred when I had "Empty Project." I created a new project "Console Application," and then I was able to "load" the Process class/namespace. Can anyone explain to me why this would happen? I did a few searches online, but didn't find much help...
Those who have been using C# for a while, what type of project do you mostly choose that are NOT GUI?
Thanks! :)

Hello, I have a question I hope someone is able to answer :)
Suppose my priority dates gets current for a certain month and therefore I apply for adjustment of status (I-485) and a EAD card for my wife (I-765). If the next visa bulletin retrogresses my priority date and it is no longer current, does that also freeze the I-765 processing, or would my wife get the EAD even if my priority date is no longer current?
Thanks.

Here is my h1b status:
1. We have applied for H1B visa extension in premium on March 23rd, 2010.(for 15 months, as I have this period remained on H1 6 years and I-140 not approved yet).
2. I have joined new client on March5th new project, new location.
3. USCIS raised RFE on March 9th, 2010 but not received the RFE document.
4. My employer sent H1B Amendment documents on March 15th, 2010 with new LCA.
5. Received RFE document on March 30th, 2010 from USCIS and replied on March 31st to USCIS.
6. USCIS approved case on April 10th, 2010 with 1 year duration, which is May 2011.
7. USCIS approved amendment on Dec 5th, 2010 which is valid until Aug 20th, 2011 which the max of 6 years period.
Now question, it means my H1B visa valid until Aug 2011?

I was on H-1 and got laid off on July 23. I filed for COS to H4 online on the same day and got the electronic receipt the same day. As I had filed I-539 after work hours, the receipt shows that USCIS received my application on July 26 instead of 23. I got the paper receipt in next 3 days. I hope this will not create any problems as my employer sent notification to USCIS on July 31 and I received my last paystub on July 31 though it was only till July 23. I have been working in US with good status for last 5 years.
Now I have some questions. Any help is greatly appreciated:
1) I recently got two Job offers from different consulting firms. When I told them that my H4 status is still pending, their attorneys told me conflicting things.
- One employer's attorney said that I have to wait till my H4 is approved and only then they could apply for my H1. At this time I have not status and they cannot file my H1.
- The other employer's attorney said that I could apply for H1 while my H4 is still pending by giving pending petition reference in the new H1 application. This will let USCIS adjudicate both the pending status together and there will be no problem for my H1.
Which one of them is correct ? What are the risks involved if I go with the advice of second attorney? Is there a possibility that filing H1 increases the chances the both my H4 and H1 applications are rejected and I could be OOS ?
2) Second question is that the second employer wants me to start immediately after I get H1 receipt. Am I eligible to work on a receipt with my situation or do I need to wait for the complete approval ? What if I get an RFE ? As this is a consulting firm, they have work order from end client for only 3 months and it will be renewed after every 3 months. Will this 3 month work order will create any problems ?
3) What is my current status ? Will the current time while H4 is pending will be counted against H1 or H4 ? As I have only a little over year left in my H1, it is important for me to know how much valid time I have left for H1. This processing time could go in months if I get an RFE.

I filed I-485 in July 2007 through my employer (EB3 with Priority date - 02/2004) and my wife filed her I-485 adjustment of status at the same time. We don't have our H-1 visas anymore and using EAD & AP for employment and travel.
We want to adopt a child in India as Inter-country adoption (as a Indian resident). For this, my wife have to travel to India and stay with the child for two years from the date of guardianship.
As there is no Green Card in sight for EB-3:
1. If she stays in India for two years, will it affect her I-485 application? If yes, how can we avoid that - like travel back to US once in a while etc.
2. As per US Immigration law, the parent(s) has to stay with the adoptive child for two years. Assuming that my wife stays with the child for 2 years in India, will the child get a visa so that we can bring the child to US? or do we need to file a I-485 for the child? What happens if my GC is approved within that 2 year period? Can we still bring the child to US? On what type of visa/status?
Appreciate any help in this regard.

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Just when you thought it couldn't get much worse.
Now we are told that ICE agents grab mentally ill immigrants right from mental hospitals, ship them off to a Texas detention center without word to family or counsel, and deport them. Could ICE's behavior be any more horrific?
The latest ICE outrage against immigrants has been released in a study conducted by Texas Appleseed, a public interest law center, and Akin Gump, a corporate law firm, and documents ICE's mistreatment of mentally ill immigrants at every stage of the deportation process. http://nyti.ms/atZYsB.
The report is just the latest in a stream of countless stories of neglect, abuse, and deaths of detainees in ICE detention. Some tales fit neatly into the annals of the world's most oppressive regimes, including the plight of Boubacar Bah, who, after mysteriously suffering a skull fracture, was handcuffed by ICE officials while writhing in agony in his own vomit on the floor of a New Jersey detention center, then locked-up in an isolation cell for 13 hours without medical treatment and, finally, transported to a hospital in a coma where he later died, (See Secret Horror Stories: ICE Officials Hid The Truth About Immigrant Deaths In Detention http://bit.ly/4tdHDt).
Several months ago homeland security secretary Janet Napolitano and ICE assistant secretary John Morton announced a review of the ICE detention operations with the stated goal of creating a "truly civil" detention system. But in light of the continuing reports of deaths, abuse, neglect, cover-ups, and other corruption, it is beyond dispute that the ICE detention system is a national disgrace. DHS should not tolerate even a single case of abuse or neglect of a person in ICE detention. The poor treatment of the mentally ill should also be viewed in light of the recent March 27 Washington Post article revealing dissension at top levels of ICE management. Napolitano and Morton are now suffering from a credibility gap. They must demonstrate clear and forceful leadership if they want to succeed in implementing the priorities and reforms they announced months ago on enforcement. All Americans are entitled to be secure in the knowledge that individuals detained by ICE will be treated humanely, and in accordance with applicable detention standards.

I am planning to use AC21 and notify USCIS about it. I have the labor job title, code and salary. The salary applied was in hourly rate of $46. So at the new permanent job, I have it as annual salary.
So how much would $46 be in annual salary or should I just have an hourly rate on my experience letter from my new employer.

Whats your point? This is not a medical forum :)
BTW, its PPD test and I know quite a few people of Indian origin who had to go for the X-ray. Follow some of the other threads on this forum as well.
You are little too quick my friend, I did not complete my post by the time you replied. I wasn't sure that others can see my post while I was still creating (typing) my poll.
I am trying to get a sense of how many people are getting positive reaction. I am hoping this thread might give exposure about people harassed by uninformed or under informed civil surgeons/ health dept officials about the impact of BCG on PDP test. I see different interpretation of test results.

Hi All,
I got my COS from H4 to F1 approved in first semester itself (Fed-2010), now my questions is I don�t have plans for going to India in next couple of years so after completing my masters can I apply for OPT without having the F1 Visa stamping OR should I have to get F1 Visa stamping in India in order to get the OPT after my masters.
You can get OPT after completion of your masters program you don't need visa for OPT .
Thanks

interfile
08-19 04:07 PM
Is it possible to convert or interfile an existing EB based I-485 application to FB based I-485?
I have pending I-485 through an approved I-140 (EB). PD is not current. I recently got married and my spouse is a US Citizen. We are considering pursueing FB application. Reading through the forums I gather that my spouse has to file I-130 and I file for I-485. My question is regarding I-485.
If I have to file for a new I-485, what happens to the existing one? Do I have to get new medical exam? Can I use existing AP, EAD or can I use EAD/AP that I currently have from my EB based application?
If an interfiling is possible, when should this be done - concurrently along with I-130 filing or we have to wait till I-130 is approved? Also what is the procedure for "interfiling"?
Which option is better?
