Hello,
My spouse will be in India next week and would be going for her H1B stamping at the Mumbai consulate. She came here on H4 and we applied for her H1B, effective 10/2007, and she has been working since Jan08 and have all her paystubs from that date. Can you share your experience in terms of questions they ask and supporting documents they request in addition to the documents that we are required to carry.
Your reply would be appreciated

All,
Anyone can give some input on this ?
I have approved H1b renewal and my wife went to India and got h4 visa based on my approval, I have not stamped yet,
since my wife already got the visa stamped, do you think I need to verify for PIMS ?
or it should have been already verified .
Any idea?
Thanks
How do you verify for PIMS ? I am guessing you are saying that you plan to verify it before going for stamping. I am looking for an answer on how to verify PIMS on your own before going for stamping

Does employer has full time job for her?
Who is paying for H1 fees?
Will employer pay full LCA wages on bench time?

Its really a good idea.
But you need little more home work as listed below.
(1) Update your profile first.
(2) Book an appointment with your lawmaker to discuss this idea.
Let me know if you want me or other to join in your meeting. If you are living in my state I will join you.
To me you are a perfect leader to lead this initiative....
Hows that ?

Hello All,
Here are my case details, please help me.
- I am on a H1 visa through company ABC and my H1 visa and I-94 are expiring on Sep 30th 2007
- My wife is currently on a H4 visa and she arrived in May 2007. Her h4 visa and I-94 are valid till Sept 30th 2007
- My consulting company ABC has filed for her H1 visa and she received her H1 approval notice in May 2007 (after her arrival here) with a start date of Oct 1 2007. Since it was not a COS, she didn't receive a new I-94.
- Since our plan was to stay together for a few more months till November, My employer(and my spouse H1 sponser) ABC has filed for my H1 visa extension and her H4 visa extension and we have received receipts for both of the applications.
Would that be sending wrong signal to USCIS, saying that she wants to continue on H4 and not work on H1? Would that cause H1 approved petition to be cancelled or revoked. Is it true? If its going to be a problem, what are the immediate steps she can take since she wants to work?
We were exploring ways that she can get the H1 I-94 legal status from staying within US instead of exiting the country and getting a H1 stamping right now. What steps can we follow.
* Form I-539 which we used for extending the H4 status, could we have used the same form for requesting a change of status to H1 and since it is almost taking upto 3-4 months, would we have been granted a I-94 for H1 sometime in Nov as we were wanting? Could she stay in the US legally once this form had been filed until its approval?
* Should the employer file for I-129 to amend the status of stay from H4 visa to H1 visa and when he should do it?
Regards
Prakash

I have a couple of questions regarding H1B.
My current H1B(10th year) is expiring in a month and I am planning to use EAD. My 140 is approved and 485 is pending for over 2 years with company A. At the same time my second 140 is pending with company B.
The question is, in case if I used my EAD to work and for some reason if my 485 is denied, can I get back to my H1B? I was under the impression that I will have to leave the country and wait for 1 year to reset the clock but I was told by someone that its not necessary to wait for an year and I can file a H1B based on my pending I-140 with company B and will have to do it while outside of the country. ( This process does not require a new quota).
Is this true? any ideas?

Hi,
I am in a situation and hope someone here would be able to provide me with some advice. I was employed by Company A since 2006 and I was working at a Client location for the last 3 years. There is company B who is the primary vendor for the Client. Recently my H1 extension was denied and so I went out of status. I reached out to my end client for help. Since they are happy with my work, they said that they can talk to another vendor (company C) to sponsor a new H1 for me. Company C is now ready to file my H1 but the problem is that Company A somehow got to know about this and is enforcing a non compete agreement on me.
I wanted to know if they can do this even though the H1 was denied and they are unable to provide me with any job. Can they stop me from earning my livelihood. I did not go out and breached any contract, I am trying to move only because my H1 with company A has been denied. The only thing is that the end client is the same.
Regards

Here's my situation in briefest form. I'm engaged to a woman in the Philippines. She worked as a domestic helper in Kuwait from about 2005 to 2007, a period of about 2.5 years total.
I understand that as we move forward on our K1 application (I'm an American just be clear) she'll be required to submit police reports for anyplace she has lived for more than 6 months. She doesn't have such an item from Kuwait, and it seems nearly impossible to obtain such a report. The websites all say that this document is only given to 'current residents'.
How can we obtain such document, and what if we can't? It seems unfathomable that the US Gov would request a possibly unobtainable document and then permanently deny our chance to live in the US together, if we are absolutely unable to obtain this document?
Does anyone have any advice, or can tell me what happens in a situation such as this?
Thanks for any help.

Please scroll almost to the bottom of the page on this URL: http://www.indiainbusiness.nic.in/visitors-guide/visa.htm. There are two paragraphs for PIO card holders as given below:
PIO (Persons of Indian Origin) Card holders : Following the introduction of the PIO Card scheme, PIO card holders are eligible for visa free entry into India for a period of the validity of the card i.e. 15 years, and they are NOT required to register themselves with the concerned FRO/FRRO if their continuous stay does not exceed 180 days. If the continuous stay exceed 180 days, the foreigner should approach the concerned FRO/FRRO for registration within 30 days of the expiry of 180 days, who will in turn register them.
Children below 16 years: As per para 2 of Registration of Foreigners (Exemption) Order, 1957, children below the age of 16 years are exempt from the requirement of registration.
So, it seems, kids don't need to register. Common sense does prevail even in India sometimes. :D

The Director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Emilio Gonzalez, stated in an interview with the New York Times that he is recommending a significant increase in USCIS fees to cover the cost of processing applications. While the article specifically mentions naturalization applications, it does not clearly limit the recommended increase only to this application. It is possible, therefore, that many applications and petitions processed by the USCIS could be affected by his recommendation.

we can pay more fees if they can process our cases fast.:) :) :)

this is the first time I have heard such a situation. as far as I know..uscis had to do either of the two things..return the package or send reciept notice. I dont think they are allowed to keep the application fees if they dont intend to process the petition.
Please check with other people..but what your lawyer is saying does not sound right to me. Have you checked with the company sponsoring your brothers H1-B? maybe they can ask the lawyer for a definite answer.
Also, did you apply under regular processing or premium processing? if it was premium processing..USCIS had to give an answer by April end.

Hi,
My H1 is expiring on 31st March. And my employer applied for I129 which is recieved on 3rd Feb.; in case I do not get approval from USICS before/on 31st March, CAN I stay in USA & work?
And my DL is also expiring on same day but DMV is not ready to issue new DL until I get new approval. How can I get DL if I do not get approval doc by 31st macrh.
Is there any chance I do not get H1 approval (even after 31st March)...
regards...

Guys, please don't start Indian firm bashing here. This site is being visited by people of other nationalities as well as offices of the lawmakers. We don't want to throw mush on the companies of our own country and look small. The info spgtopper has asked for is being asked by our lobbyst, so I would appreciate if you provide the relevant info.
Just a request. Please delete your posts.
Thanks for listening
I totally agree with black_log. Involving Indian firm or trying to use Indian political influence can cause sever damage to our cause. Its not just applies India abut any nation other than US. Unfortunately this is not the first thread of its kind.
Instead of having TCS, Infosys or Wipro trying to put influence why cant we have companies like Google, Intel, Micrsoft, Cisco or Yahoo. Their voices will be heard with respect.

We can't mount fire-fighting operation on each and every front. Let's ignore them.
We have a purpose to tell, educate, highlight the issues we all legal immigrants face. This has happened under this Republican Regime. Various reasons - mainly lack of funds, lack of green card numbers, lack of staff etc.
We can continue writing small specific personal letters to lawmakers. Then as a group we address employers asking them their effort to help them best employees.
I was browsing the jobs forum on craigslist and i was shocked to see some user urging people to call Senator Cornyn to not push H1 and Eb visa increases.

07/06/2007: Hard Working Women and Men in USCIS Behind the Visa Number Fiasco
From the information available thus far, this reporter believes that no one in the agencies intended to bring about this fiasco. It was lack of close communication and coordination between the USCIS and the DOS and more or less a poor handling of the situation at some level within the USCIS. The people should remember that there are many and many women and men in the agency involved who worked hard just like you and me to do the given jobs, including managers, supervisors, and other higher ups. The agencies should take this fiasco as a good opportunity to learn a lesson on what could go wrong in the management of immigration services and responsibilities affecting hundreds and thousands of other human beings. This reporter has been visiting the field offices, particularly Nebraska Service Center and other local field offices, almost every single year for over past 20 years and have met the "human" faces of hard working officers and other workers working in tiny cubicles and facilities that cannot be described as fancy offices but more or less factories and plants. When I report the current news, this reporter sees the faces of the women and men that I have met who worked in the not necessarily fit office space and environment. Without doubt, the current fiasco should be one way or another corrected and prevented in the future. However, the people should not take this opportunity to dehumanize the current event and easily demonize other people with no faces. Probably this is the time when these women and men need most an emotional support and boost from their invisible customers. After all, things will go through the legal process or other processes to correct the mistake. Low morale of these women and men will help no purposes and causes. On behalf of our readers, we want to send a big "CHEER UP" to these women and men!
