You think the quota this coming year will be exhausted on 1st April itself? Or do you guess that its going take longer, if not as long as this past year?
my guess would be its going to last a few months again. Not as long as 2009 (ie. not till Christmas) but definately not on the 1st of April.
The H1 usage is a good reflection of the economy and the rate of hiring. Both have been bad, are expected to still be bad till April and only slowly start to pick up. So demand will be more than this year because:
- economy is expected to better, hiring is now slowly starting.
- many companies who were prevented from hiring H1s under TARP limitations are now out of TARP (this applies to the finance sector on the east coast, not so much to the west coast IT companies).
the only thing that could push down demand if there is some kind of immigration change like the ones that Sen. Grassley etc have been pushing for, trying to make H1s more restrictive.

If you are on H1 then the ticket should be provided for by your employer - that is my understanding of the law.

It may be dump question.
Is it the date LC is filed?
Is it the date DOL Received Acknowledgement Date? ( Receipt Date)
Is it the date just DOL received the package??
Any one knows for sure??

My friend is with the current employer for the past 3 years and now she has her H1 renewed .The employer had some issues with USCIS and currently she is on bench and is planning to go to india to get married.She has an appointment in Tijuane but she is worried if the employer history would affect her chances of stamping.So she is planning to have her H1transferred but she has her marriage in feb.So what are her options of getting her stamping done?
This is not a good idea.
Can she go to India with new employer documents having applied for transfer(premium processing)and have her stamping done there?
It is better for her to wait until she gets her documents approved and then go.
Is the pay stub with the current employer compulsory?
It is better to have some paystubs from the past six months at least and also carry some w2 forms.
How much time does it take if she goes for premium processing and what documents would she need from the new employer(incase the transfer is pending by the time she goes to India)?
In premiumn processing it takes 15 days to get the approval normally. And if it is premium processing, shouldn't hurt to wait some more days since it is better also.
After all these are my two cents against what you are trying. It is always better to consult your lawyer/attorney with the employer your friend is intending to transfer to.

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

Hello,
I've been working on EAD for about 4 years now as priority dates are backed up a lot. My I-140 has been approved in 2007 and still waiting on I-485 to get approved. My current employer is not my original sponsor. I changed jobs after the "180 days post I-485 receipt" policy. Now, I'm interested to accept an offer (similar job) in another state. How will this affect my I-485 if I'm changing employers for the 3rd time and this time, at another state?
Thank you very much.

I am sure this what might have happened since you talked about FP.
Did you and your attorney both receive the FP notices ? I think one of those copies was returned to USCIS as undeliverable. What they do is they wil check the system for any address change and then put the returend FP notices alogn with the envelope in a new envelope and mail it out again. We had this weird status for few people duingthe Jul 07 rush and that was what it was. Let us know if this is the case..

yes, I was talking about H1b stamping! Thanks for your reply. That means I need to e-mail them to get an interview slot for my H1b stamping. I don't see any available slots from VFS website for December.
Thanks once again!

If you are on payroll, it means you are still employed by that company. Consider this as bench period. The company may not pay you the whole salary or part of it but you are still employed. This creates problem sometime. You should ask your employer to consider you as on unpaid leave or vacation. You dont have to leave the country. Few days are ok as long as you get a new job elsewhere and transfer your H1. I think 30 days is good. Your first and foremost goal is to get a job at any cost. That should happen before you are out of payroll of your current company. That means within 30 days.
Once you are out of 30 days and dont have a job, you are out of status. That means you are here illegally. Your counter starts. There is no guideline how long you can stay here like that but more than 180 days will definitely create problem for you in the long run.
Coming to H1 transfer, if you can transfer the job within 30 days, you are good. No harms done. Although sometime you get RFE to show the income for that period if W2 shows very low number. There should some sort of parity with LCA minimum wage in H1 with W2. But 30 days of non-payment should not be a big issue as long as you can prove you were employed at that time with your H1 petitioner.
If you are out of status, there is not much you can do about it except get a job soon enough. There are people who got H1 transfer without any issue. But there is a greater chance it might come up as RFE in H1 or later in GC.
If you are here more that 180 days, you are in serious trouble.
In any case, talk to a lawyer. People here in this forum are good for some basic general advice but a case like yours should be consulted with a professional.

She can file her own extension using form I-539. You can use your receipt number in her application. I am planning to do the same. It doesnt make sense to pay the lawyer a grand for that. If your H1 is approved, her H4 will be approved. There is no way I can think of having your H1 approved and her H4 being denied unless she has any violations or out of status etc.

I am in the same situation. I am on my 8th year of H1 and this is for the first time I am have heard so much hoopla that has made me real nervous. My lawyer has advised me against taking any risk. I already have the tickets but I am planning to postpone, apply for EAD and only then go to India.
Please note that this is only me and I might have a comletely different risk tolerance than you might have.
I am planning to visit India during May 2011. I am working in multinational company as civil engineer (on H1-B). I have PhD from US uni. I am reading a lot about visa stamping probs these days. Please help me taking decision whether to take chance (& visit India) or not. will appreciate any advises especially from ppl with such recent experience. Thanks.

If I-140 is approved and priority date is current is it possible to keep on extending H1B for couple of years without applying for I-485? I am asking this quetion because my employer is not allowing me to apply for I-485 as my I-140 is pending. It looks like he want to use me for couple of years on H1b.

Great news for EB2 India.
As expected, this will clear out early 2006 cases.
Also note that now EB2 India and China has same PD and that means EB2 China may consume some of the spillover (or fall down/across) numbers.
Good Luck to every one....:)

I've also heard about these two attorneys, one from Reisterstown,MD and the other from Arlington,Va.
I am myself starting the process, and I've heard mixed opinions on these two. i would appreciate anybody that could chip in.

It's news to me. Injection molded connectors are easy to produce while maintaining tight tolerances, so I'm skeptical of that warning.
Many people have had pictures lost even with "good" cards, so that claim sounds more like a scare tactic.
Personally, I think I'll continue to go with SanDisk Extreme, as they have really good warranty (lifetime guarantee). I'm also concerned with knowing I have honest specs so I"m getting the data rates claimed for the product.

http://itavisen.no/art/1304403.html?PHPSESSID=6f659d505057356c057c50b88ed ea679 reports that the Norwegian Nikon distributor Interfoto held a press conference today warning people against using "cheap" memory cards from vendors not on Nikon's approved list.
According to Interfoto the cheap memory cards doesn't fit too well physically and can damage the camera. Their service department report pins that are either broken or even forced into the camera itself.
In addition there has been problems with pictures disappearing when "the card crash".
Interfoto recommends Sandisk and Lexar, as well as Microdrives from IBM/Hitachi. (Interfoto is the Norwegian Lexar distributor btw)
Has anyone else heard something similar?
