One of my friends travelled in the same situations. No questions asked at port of entry(Chicago). He was little worried like you and was short of time to get the visa stamped but it went fine.

Hello,
Can any of you throw some light on these
To my understanding, if one is maxing out 6 years of H-1B visa on Nov 30, 2009 and doesn't have a way of extending to the 7th year H-1B.Then he has to stay physically outside of USA for 1 year.
1.Does 1 year stay have to be in the home country only?
2.Can one come and visit USA for a month[June 2010] or so between Nov30,09 and Nov 30,2010.[Eg: Conference, interview]?
3.If answer is yes to 2, would one have to stay for another 1 year away from July 2010? or they can come back to US during Dec 2010, if they have a new H-1B job?
Inputs appreciated.
Thanks

Is it possible to change to Consular processing while I-140 and I-485 is in pending.
I filed 485 in Aug and do not have the receipt either.
Kindly advice.

I believe that the sponsored employee (and the attorney) are not allowed to have any part in the recruitment effort as per DOL guidelines. It should be done by the employer.

Every agent tells a new thing. But the fact remains that I-140 needs to be approved before 485 is adjudicated.
Also you are not current yet...you will be (if things don't change in between) on Sept 1.
I don't know what final stage mean...I have been told the same thing by my congressman rep a year and half back.....doesn't mean anything...
Just wait and wait...

Does anyone know if there would be some kind of record about
when and how many times we have spoken to the IIO.
Like will a IIO be able to look at one's receipt# and say if they have spoken to an IIO earlier that day or whenever that is?
Thank you.

USCIS had been given strict guidelines to process all cases within a six month timeframe depending on the type of the case. But many cases have come to light which are not seeing the light of the day.
How about filing our taxes on April 16, but not on April 15.

My wife is currently on H-1B status. Her employer has decided to close the company and cancel her H-1B effective from 2/28/09. My wife has an EAD and Advance Parole. We applied for her EAD and Advance Parole, when my company applied for my I-485 Adjustment of Status in July 2007. I wanted to know:
a) What steps are needed to move my wife from H-1B to EAD?
b) Do I also need to move from H-1B to EAD in order for my wife to use EAD?
c) Do I need to move my wife to H-4 status before she can start using her EAD?
In short I wanted to inquire, how to ensure that she is still in legal status after her H-1B is cancelled by her employer?
She will be in legal status although her H1 is cancelled.
Reason - She has file I-485 with you, so technically she is in AOS(Adjustment of Status)
When she finds a new job she will give her EAD details in the I9 form.
You dont have to do anything. You can maintain your H1.
If you convert her status to H4 then she cannot use EAD - meaning she cannot work being on H4.
hope this clears your doubts.
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi,
I am unable to determine if the 180 day timeline is calculated from RD or ND? There are different opinions here in this forum and no clear answer. Is there a law text that defines this clearly...does anybody know?
yea...I did search this and some of the other forums :confused:

Taken from: Yates Memorandum (http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/I140_AC21_8403.pdf)
If the Form I-140 has been approved and the Form I-485 has been filed and remained unadjudicated for 180 days or more (as measured from the Form I-485 receipt date), the approved Form I-140 will remain valid even if the alien changes jobs or employers as long as the new offer of employment is in the same or similar occupation. If the Form I-485 has been pending for less than 180 days, then the approved Form I-140 shall not remain valid with respect to a new offer of employment.

First of all, congrats to everyone in the final stages of this tedious and frustrating process.
I have a question for people who filed I-140 and I-485 concurrently and got their receipt numbers.
I have gotten receipt numbers for my concurrently filed I-485 and I-765 as I paid for them (PD April 2003, I-140/I-485 filed at NSC). I do not have receipt for I-140 after more than 2 weeks. My employer is not giving me receipt number for I-140 as he may be wanting more money from me. Now, I have read in a forum that I-140 when applied concurrently should have receipt number very close to I-485 receipt number and normally I-140 receipt number is less than I-485 receipt number (i.e. if I-485's last four digits are 4600 then last 4 for I-140 number will be lower than 4600 and close to it. So, in theory I can scan numbers prior to mine and find closer ones for the same date and track them.
If you can please check your numbers and tell me if your I-140 number is before your I-485 number and how close they are to each other, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Gifts & Items Sent to the White House
Items sent to the White House often experience a significant delivery delay and can be irreparably harmed due to the security screening process. Therefore, please do not send items of personal importance, such as family photographs, because items may be unable to be returned. We also request that gifts of a consumable nature, such as food, flowers, and other perishable items, not be sent to the White House due to the security screening process. While the President and Mrs. Bush and Vice President and Mrs. Cheney appreciate your thoughtfulness, they request that you look instead to your local community for opportunities to assist your neighbors in need.

Most of the records are kept for 3-7 years in any organization, Based on that it seems unlikely that they will have the copy of I-94. You can try, you may succeed.

I am creating this post to benefit all.
Also this case is about my friend.
He shared all this information with me.
This is a Pittsburgh PA based case, YMMV.
My friend who has an approved labor/i140 and also a pending i485, received a news that his father was ill in India. He wanted to fly to India right away but his AP had expired. Here is what our Internal Immigration lawyer suggested him....
"You must go to the district office to screen and make a determination as to whether your situation is a qualifying emergency. They are responsible for accepting and processing the I-131 in emergency situations. Here is a link to the address and appointment procedure for the Pittsburgh office. https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.detail&office=PIT&OfficeLocator.office_type=LO&OfficeLocator.zipcode=15220 You should take a completed I-131, $305 filing fee, 2 passport photos, passport (and copy), I-94 copy and evidence of your father�s situation. Remember that you have to prove that this is a medical emergency."
So he took an Infopass appointment, which he got for the very next day! He then visited the Pittsburgh local office (which is normally not so busy) with a completed i-131, photos, fees, passport, copy of passport, i-94 and a FAX proof from India Doctors which explained his fathers situation.
An interview took place, where they asked expected questions and then an Internal Director approved. He was told to wait for 1 hour and he was handed 2 copies of temporary Advance Parole which is valid for 4 months.
I myself was wondering if one can get emergency advance parole and this example shows that if you show all the proof and go to a local office they will help you as much as possible and also give you an AP within 1-2 hours.
(The only bad thing is, my friend will have to spend $305 again for an approval which lasts for 1 or 2 years)
Hope this helps you all.
