While entering the USA in Aug 2007 the Immigration office gave me I-94 validity till June 2008 which is equal to my H1-B Visa Stamp validity in passport, I had my new I-797 H1-B document from new employer with valid I-94 at the bottom till Sep 2009.
Will the I-94 validity given by immigration officer over rules the I-797 I-94 validity. If so, can i apply for the extension. Or shall i go out of the country and while entering ask the immigration officer to give validity based on my new I-797.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I had the same issue. I did not pay attention what I-94 expiration date was stamped by the officer in JFK airport. I had my visa expired earlier than my approved H1B status.
I was able to fix it couple weeks later at home in Tampa Airport with US Customs and Border Protection. Make sure that you make appointment with them before you go to your nearest international airport. They will take you to secured area where they do all immigration paperwork. See http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/deferred_inspection/
Next time, check the expiration I 94 date before you leave an immigration officer counter at the port of entry. This year, when I came back from vacation, the Immigration Officer at Atlanta airport did the same mistake. I told him that's not right and he fixed it.
There are 2 dates on your visa stamp:
1) Visa expiration date
2) H1B status expiration date.
Basically u do not need to show them 797 approved form because they can see all info on your visa stamp. But carry 797 with you just in case.

QUESTION :: First and foremost - can I change my job as I am entering the 6th year of H1?
ANSWER :: Yes you can. Just have to be bit careful. The new company should first apply H1 for 3 years based your current approved I-140. Then start the new GC process with a request to transfer the priority date. It is best not to join the new company till the H1 and the new I-140 gets approved, in this way if some thing goes wrong, you have your current company to fall back.
2.
QUESTION :: Since it's going to be my 6th year, will I need to reapply for labor as soon as I change my job? Is there any timeframe?
ANSWER :: Yes, you need to reapply the LC. Though there is no time frame, you need to apply 365 days before your new H1 expires, so that you could get H1 extensions in the future.
Please note if you have an approved I-140, then you get 3 years extension. If your current I-140 is revoked then in the future you need a new GC process pending for at least 365 days to request H1 1 year Extension. Again if the future company’s I-140 is approved then based on that you could request 3 years H1 Extention.
3.
QUESTION :: Will there be any issue porting the Priority Date - especially since I am planning to apply on EB2 in the next job.
ANSWER :: There will not be an issue to transfer your current priority date (EB3) to the new GC process in EB2, just because it is EB3 to EB2.

wooah...i got the problem solved.
The problem we had was, we got the pay from jan to may but the employer gave all the pay just for pay period May instead of individual months.
NY ways, i consulted a attorney and he suggested few things....
Interesting that you got it solved in 3 hours and then came back here to delete your post...
Good luck with whatever it is that you are doing!
Thanks,

hi,
Thank you all for your reply.
I have no intension of leaving the company, the mgmt is asking me to take the pay cut at this time and they will pay me back after 1 year. so i don't see any issues like they are not willing to pay or anything. I was just trying to get an idea whether this might effect on the green card or not? like, you should get the salary mentioned on file atleast for next 6 month.
Thank you again for all replies.

I will take an Infopass appointment as well. Do you think it is better to take the appointment in October when my date is current (going by the RIR PD)?
By the way, I only have a photocopy of my approved I-140 notices (according to company attorney, it is owned by the company). Hope that suffices.
Also, does the IO have the power to update my case? I thought they only give out information (if in the mood that is :)).
You can also try and get an InfoPass appointment at the local USCIS office and check with an IO during the appointment what PD is assigned to your pending I-485. If its not the old RIR PD which is current, then you can hand them over a copy of your old I-140 approval notice and ask them to link it to your pending I-485. I would advise you to take an InfoPass and verify this information yourself.

What if a person has active TB and is currently being treated? Doctors are saying it will take 9 months to complete the medication.
Q1. Do we need to wait till 9 months to apply for I140 and 485?
Q2. When will the medical records be opened and monitored? is it when my 485 is being processed or before giving EAD?
Q3. If doctor says we have TB on the form, will i be queried by govt to get it checked again, or will i be rejected?

I-485 can be rejected if filed with incomplete initial evidence.
Folks, it is the time for us to be more careful than even to make sure that our lawyer files I-485 correctly. With there mistake, we can really get screwed up. All they can say one word �Sorry�.
It happened to me while filing for H-1 extension, I got only one year extension, based on Labor pending whereas my I-140 was approved at that time, they refilled at no cost to me with 3 year extension.
Here in I-485, refilling will not be possible, since by the time we get the receipt notice, the date might have moved back already.
I have not yet received the originals supporting my BC.............. is it a problem............ everything else i have but still waiting for the affidavits............. can you please elaborate on this............

dreeft, you could set it up as subcontracting work out though, all the work being funneled through one person and then subcontracted to other members of the "group"
Then it wouldn't be a business and hence would be a "group" of freelancers :P
I'd be interested if you could find some jobs Flash-Matic, do you have AIM or MSN?
Yes, that was what I was getting at. He'd still need to start the "business" up and then subcontract to other "businesses".. :D

If university is not accredited with ABET, USCIS won't accept this masters for EB2?
I believe there are lots of other universties are not accredited with ABET and and who have done their masters from these universities they are getting EB2 approvals?
Thanks,

.....and none of the accredited universities give you admission to MS unless you have bachelor's degree, and most of the online MS degrees are not from ABET accredited universities, please get all the information about the degree before you pay any FEE:o

Here is my situation:
- I have a valid H1B and EAD through Employer A. My current status is H1B.
- I am getting offer from Employer B but they are asking me to join on EAD so that I dont have to wait for H1 Trasnfer approval. They are okay in filing for H1 B Transfer at the same time. Here are 2 questions I have:
1. In case H1 transfer gets denied then will I be able to go back to Employer A and continue on the current H1B ? I really dont want to take the risk of using EAD since if I-485 is denied then I will have to leave immediately.
2. Will I be able to maintain my H1 B status even if I join on the basis of EAD considering that H1 B transfer application is filed before I join.
Your answer will be very helpful for me to take the right decision.
Thanks in Advance

Mr Desi - Here is my take on this. Most 485 questions will come up at the time of applying Visa stamp. The consulates dont like the fact that you filed 485.
However, since you have done it legally (like everyone else), my take is that, canadian consulates are more likely to NOT make an issue out of it, unlike Indian consulates. However as always an element of risk is there. Indian consulates are very high risk when you have filed 485.
In case of port of entry, I recently entered US on H1 visa despite having 485 and AP. My wife used her AP at the same time of entry together with me. The officer asked me, "why dont you also use your AP?" I said, I have AP, but I want to use H1 visa if possible. And he said, ok, no problem, its your wish.
So again, depends on the officer you bump into. Both me an my wife had no issue at POE.
However, Mumbai consulate issued her 221(g) for some inexplicable reason.

A question on consular processing vs I-485. She already has a tourist visa. Also since she is deriving her green card status from mine, her priority date is current. Could she come to US on her tourist visa and we file for I-485 here instead of doing consular processing?
Thanks,
Dinesh
I don't think that it works that way. I believe she needed to be in US already on a visa that is not short term - perhaps H4 or F1 or something. I am not too sure though. You should consult with a lawyer prior to taking any action on this one

anyone having inputs to the query below:
Adding to the scenario above, what if the old company (which got I-140 approval) agrees to continue the GC process? In that case, can't we apply for H1 extension with Company B using approved I-140 with Company A? After all, GC is a future employment application
In this scenario, you can apply for H1 extension with Company B using approved I140 of company A.

be aware. All these PDF editing tools leave a watermark - "Draft" or "Trial Version".
They are totally useless.
Earlier trial Adobe 7.0 Professional did give edit and save. Not 8.0
Bottonline: don't waste time or by 8.0 for USD 1800 or so. Or use one who has PDF editors (Admins etc)
Buy PDFill it will cost 20$ , It is cheapest software available for editing and saving PDF forms.
