I have searched the internet on this and had no luck.. i'm 20 weeks pregnant and Canadian married to a USC. I went for my medical today and had all of my backup for vaccinations / immunity but the immigration doctor wants me to get a tetanus shot. All information on the web says this is "safe" during pregnancy, however I am completely opposed to having a vaccination while pregnant or breast-feeding due to potential issues vaccinations can cause (eg: autism in children). While this is not readily "accepted" by the medical community, it is how I feel. Some very high profile people have talked about vaccinations and the dangers they can cause but the medical community seems to reject their logic (not enough studies.. who knows).
I don't feel that I should be subjected to this when I'm so opposed to it - I know I can apply for a "moral objection" but I can't find any information as to whether USCIS actually acknowledges these objections.
Has anyone out there been in a similar situation or know of how I can get an exemption from this during my pregnancy / breast-feeding stage?
Thanks everyone!

A friend of mine is going through this and I am posting on his behalf while he is really stressing it out. Any help would be very much appreciated.
He got his H1B through this consulting firm last April in effect from Oct 01, 2008. He finished his masters here in the US in April. He made himself available to the employer and was searching for work all summer. His employer asked him to clear a few certifications in a field unfamiliar to him. My friend took certifications but also has been on a look out for any new opportunities given the tough market.
He recently found one and is looking to switch his H1B. Now that his current employer has found out about this, he totally freaked out threatening to cancel his H1B.
Things to note:
- My friend has not been paid by his current employer. So no pay-stubs what so ever
- He had signed a contract for 2 years and some ridiculous amount of money towards damages in case he leaves
What are his options now? What if the employer sends H1B cancellation before he gets to file a new petition through the new company? Can anyone please help?
Thank you

I also heard that they are sending about 1500 people back to India..
I heard from one of my Frnds that all of their L1 visa extensions are getting rejected left and right....
Most of them are on these L1 Visas in managerial postions.

Gurus,
I work for company X and in my 9th year H1-B visa. X has filed for my Eb-3 labor and I-140 and I am currently AOS (July 07 filer) on my I-485. X recently extended my H1 through Oct 2012.
I have an offer from company Y. Company Y is asking me if I want H1 extension or H1 transfer? What should I answer them. Which one ensures that I have a 3 year extension. Please advise ASAP.
Thanks.
You should tell them to file a H1 Change of Employer petition based on your approved I-140. Let them know they need to file a LCA requesting a 3 yr term and get the LCA approval and then file form I-129 requesting for a 3 yr H1.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs in the briefing just reiterated Shapiro's laments: �That story could have been written a year ago based off of what he's said on the campaign trail� I don't think [Obama] thinks it could be done this year.�

There is nothing you can do now. You cannot change the past. Realistically there is only a very small probability that it will become an issue at 485 approval stage.
Even otherwise, this was Employer's responsibility, not yours, to keep your LCA updated.

My labor and 140 are approved under EB3 with priority date May 2003. Since Green Card is for future employment can I port my date to EB2 with another company and

Hi,
I have my I140 approved couple of years ago and now our company is being acquired by another firm. As a result I may lose my job. I am on 5th year of H1 and have I140 copy.
I got an offer with a project from a top consulting firm who is willing to transfer my H1 and also carry forward GC.
However I am concerned, as that consulting firm has the history of cancelling the H1 once they could not find any new projects after the current project. But in current market scenario, I could find any other opportunity and it may be necessary to join that firm.
So lets say after one/two years, if I lose my job with that firm and want to carry forward my H1/GC with other company, will it be possible?
What should I ask the firm now (terms and conditions, before start working with them) to make my self in safe position later on?
Thanks for your advice.

I think my employer is not willing to sponsor the process due to some reasons.
Is there any other way of processing the Green card.Can i initiate it myself along with a lawyer
The only way you can make use of the fast track option available for L-1A visas is through your L employer. There is no other way.
One other option is to get a H-1b through a different employer who is also willing to sponsor a GC.
A sleazy option is to find one of those green card shops who will sponsor your GC for future employment in exchange for a fee. You can continue with your current L employer and your GC will continue through Mr Sleaze. Obviously this is abusing the system, but you would be surprised to know how many are doing it.
Note that both these options are not fast track. You will have to go through the full process and wait time.

Friends,
There used to be a number of threads created / discussed every day on IV... those good ol' days... a lot of good discussions on a variety of topics, including immigration:D
But of late I am seeing fewer threads on IV and wondering what could be the reason.
1. Either a lot of folks got greened and stopped visiting IV
2. or a lot of folks lost jobs & abandoned their GC process
3. or a lot of folks got frustrated and left for their home countries
Is this just me feeling this way or...?

Hi All,
Please help me on this. Here is the situation:
1. Company A First time H1B - Oct 1, 2004
2. Company B transfer - Jan 22, 2006
3. My current visa is expiring on Jan 22, 2009, but after Jan 22, 2009, I still have till Oct 1, 2010 to complete my 6 years of H1B.
4. Now, my wife who is on H-4 is currently in India on vacation, since she is not in US, her H-4 extension cannot be filed.
My question is, can I file my H-1 extension and go to India and get both of our visas stamped based on my extension? Or does my wife need to come back on her currently valid visa and file for her own H-4 extension?
Please advise and pardon me for my ignorance on this.
Thanks in advance,
DSP

I was in united states for 5 years and 2 months on H1-B visa. I did not apply for green card during my stay and had to return to India in Aug'2008 due to personal reasons. I want to find out if I am eligible for applyng H1 in this year's quota through same employer with whom I had earlier H1.
Here is my situation -
1. My H1-B petition is valid till 12th July 2009. My passport is not stamped to reflect this date.
2. I came back to India for good on 31st August 2008.
3. If I go back to US before 12th July, I will only get extension for remaining 10 months (as I was in us for 5 years and 2 months). But I want to go for couple of years, so have to go on new visa after completion of 1 year in India.
So I want to check if I am eligible for filing H1-B in this year's quota through same employer ?
If you physically live outside US for 365 days or more, then your H1B visa time will reset, however, your new application will be subject to cap; i.e., if your application is not picked up in the lottery, you will not be able to work. Note that if you apply for new H1B, it will start from Oct 1, 2009. The employer -- a new one or the old one -- is immaterial in this calculation.
