We got H-1B 7th year extension approved (through Premium processing) at CSC on 06/12/2008. The extension of stay was also approved. We received the I-797C (courtesy copy) and travelled to India with it (along with all the relevant documentation for the H-1B visa stamping) at Chennai. We now realize that we need to I-797A and for some reason the company's legal dept did not receive this yet. The legal dept usually receives both I-797A and I-797C. The chennai consulate does not accept I-797C for stamping.
What are our options here. Though I-140 is approved and I-485 is pending for us, I had not applied for EAD/AP since I plan to continue with my current employer (agreed it was a mistake that I did not apply for the AP). I am with my family now here in Chennai and have to return to the US at the end of July. Will the USCIS send us a duplicate since we never received the original I-797A. The other option is to file I-824 but the processing time is crazy long. Is their expedited processing available for this due to the urgency of the situation? Please help with your valuable inputs.
Thanks. MP70
I-824 processing is heavily backlogged both in VSC and CSC - I guess, there is no PP or expedite option available for duplicate notices. Did you have valid and unexpired H1B stamp on your passport when you left US?

Thanks for your replies guys
This is not a substitution case, ETA-750 says requires graduation in mathematics, which I have but my % is less than 60, so just verifying if they will look for % acquired, now don't ask me why i secured less than 60% that is history and I cannot change.

I am in the same boat, so can we use PD and I-140 from employer A even through my employment and H1B are not with Employer for a few months?

Happily you can use your 140 and Priority date. No problem.Everything is under control.

Again I did not get any response for my query. Looks like members here are more into GC stuff than other issues. Anyway as always, I contacted chennai consualte to learn more about my concern, here comes their reply. I hope this will be helpfull to someone wout their .
Knowledge is waste, if not shared...!!!!
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your email.
Once you take a confirmed appointment, modifications in terms of adding a new applicant cannot be made. However, you may cancel your existing appointment and then apply together as a family. (The Consulate encourages applicants to schedule appointment together).
Please note that canceling your appointment for a second time would lead to deactivation of your receipt for the next 90 days.
Kindly note that the modifications on Q.No 1 to 14 in DS-156 cannot be made, either you need to cancel the appointment and schedule a new appointment or you could go ahead with your appointment and inform the consular officer of the same wherein the final decision would be that of the consular officer.
You can cancel your appointment only two times. After the second cancellation your HDFC Visa Fee Receipt is deactivated for 90 calendar days. You will not be able to book another appointment until the 90 days have passed.
Thanking you
Regards

Hi Gurus,
Here is my situation. Have H1B expiring on June 2008. Planning to Renew. I-140 approved last Month. I485 applied and pending for more than 180 days. Have EAD, AP.
Now - I am planning to switch to another job for Title , Hike. Not happy with the current company.
I have the following question :
1) If I switch,what will happen to my I-485 / I-140. do I need to reapply ? . do I lost my priority date.
2) If I go to India, what will happen to My 485/140. Can I change AOS to consular processing.
Please advise.
1. Use Ac21
2. Are you going to India for a visit or long time? you need to come before ur AP expires and get a new one(If H1 is not valid)
Otherwise you can take a vacation on H1.
For Cp you have to withdraw your 485 application and refile your application.

Both my husband and I have been using our AP for traveling for the last few years and he uses his EAD for his job. So trying to say that we don't use our H visas but his employers renew them anyway when its time to renew.
Our H visas are about to expire this week and the lawyers sent in the extension paperwork to INS in December. Somehow we never really followed up and recently realized that somehow my husband's H1 application either never reached there or got misplaced since they only sent my H4 receipt even though both were fedexed in the same envelope. His employers are going to file again.
Now we are planning to travel next month. So here are my questions:
1. Can we travel with our applications pending?
2. If INS considers our applications abandoned if we travel, does it make a difference, especially because we don't use our H status for either work or travel?
3. The lawyers are suggesting expedited/premium processing for my husband. How long does it tae these days (Vermont center) and can my H4 be filed along too even though one is pending since December (and I think it will remain pending forever because it has no corresponding H1 so how will they approve the H4)?
Thanks!

I was in same situation, My Labor & I 140 was approved before I got married and at the time when I was applying for my wife's H4 visa and we answered it NO since none of those applications had her linked any where.
Hello,
My wife is planning to attend for a H4 Visa Re stamping. I have couple of questions regarding the visa application process. Appreciate if you can help me with my questions
1) In DS156 should my answer to the Question� �Has Anyone Ever Files an Immigrant Petition on your behalf� be NO. FYI, my 140 is approved and waiting on 485 priority date. I don�t think I gave my wife�s name yet in my labor or 140 approval process
2) There is a section to be filled in VFS website called� Petition Details from 797/. I assume that principal applicant would be me. However I am not sure what to fill in the following questions
Petition Receipt #
Petition Expiration date
Petitioner Name: I assume it is my company name
Is the above info to be filled in from My 797 ( case type I129)or my wife�s 797( case type I539) Receipt #?
Please advice

Hi,
I was on regular H1B for three years until mid 2008 when I changed to H4 status. Now, if I want to work for a non-profit organization, does the org have to just transfer the original H1B or file a new non-profit petition. If it is the latter (new petition) what happens to my original H1 approval? If I want to go back to the for-profit world do I need to apply for a new H1 or will my original H1 validity continue??
Thanks
AFP
I do not have answers to your question but have few questions of mine
1. Can non-profit H1 be transferred to regular H1?
2. While non-profile H1 is in extension process, can new regular H1 be filed?

From what I read in the article they are talking about chaging 'the place of incorporation' from Bermuda to Ireland to avoid paying higher taxes through the proposed tax legislation ...dosent't talk about relocating all operations to Ireland
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124338175183056465.html
Accenture is one of the big US consulting companies. They are moving to Ireland , as Mr President is trying to making Tax laws to stop outsourcing.
Looks like IBM would be the next to follow.

I have got my EAD, and my application was filed in EB3, 2005 in perm.
With the kind of speed USCIS is working with, I fear I would never get my GC.
Whereas My brother is a Citizen. Can it be possible that he files family based GC for me ?
I have read that for family based applications they regard the priority date as date of filing I-130.
If I do so, will my current process be wiped off ?
what are the repurcussions.
Please advice.

ANY ONE ON THIS PLEASE
Hi Guys,
I didn't find such a thread in my search. If you thing there is already one please delete this.
I want to start a thread for tracking cases which were transfered from one place to other and to estimate that if we are getting in the back of the queue OR receipt date is acknowledged.
My I 485 transfered from TX to CAL and now to NEBRASKA.
131 AND 765 says received and pending at California
package was received at Texas on 23rd July and Cal center issued notice on Sep 24.
Please let me know if anyone has similar case.
Thanx.

Why would one get a LUD on an OLD h1 with no LUD on anything else?
Just got CRIS email/LUD (no status change) on an old h1b that had no status change since Oct 2004. No LUD on the I140/485 or anything else. Only thing that makes sense to me is that my H1b is about to expire on dec 10 so maybe it has to do with that?
Anyone else have a similar experience. it's a little nerve wrecking.
Even I had a soft LUD on my old H1 which was expired and was approved way back in May 2004.

It took a little over 3 months for my H1 to get renewed but I wouldn't base anything on this. Its govt... if they feel like working they will approve yours in 3 weeks and if they don't you can read Bose's issue. I have lost all respect for functioning of govt.
