Just came accross this site. Not sure how accurate the data is, but looks like so far from 2002 there are only 701413 total pending 485 cases. I guess majority of those would be non employment based. Any one seen this data? Is this accurate?

Hi,
My 6th year H1 expires in Feb'07 and company is ready to apply 7th year extension using premium processing. Assuming I get H1 extended by Oct 1st and travel to India in Nov for 2 weeks, is there a problem in coming back with old visa.
Since the appointments are full for the next 6 months I don't have any realistic chance of getting new stamping done during the trip. I know traveling while extension is pending is a big NO NO but if extension is approved am I allowed to use the old visa stamp?
thanks in advance

Shanky,
As you already know, the H4 is only valid as long as your H1 is valid. If companyA has a policy or if in future they decide to revoke h1, then you may not even know.
If I were you , I will go ahead and file for h4 transfer too.

Hello Friends,
My AP is expired on December 9th 2008. I would like to renew my AP. Could you please provide the details on how to renew my AP? or Does it come as a new process instead of renewal?
Thanks
It is indeed considered a renewal. And it costs something like $350.
You might want to check www.uscis.gov for further information.

Surely won't fly.
I-140 doesn't belong to the employee. Period.
Then ownership of I-140 needs to change as well. Maybe this is something we could all work in the long term.... and not an immediate goal at this time. Of'course this will need help from everybody on the forums. Something like this is sure to help all of us.

I was employed by company A between 2002 who has filed I-140 and I-485 in 2007.
After company ceased to exist, USCIS granted an H1 extension based on an approved ALC filing and I moved to company B. According to the owner of company A, it has no plans to file for bankruptcy.
Company B filed for the H1B extension and I received one that expires Oct 2012. However, company B is now unwilling to continue my employment. My employment will cease Nov 2010.
Besides looking for another job, anyone has any inputs?

If not EB1, even EB2 is fine because you belong to UK and EB2 is current for you. If you claim EB1, you can easily apply in EB2 and it's "current" for you.

IV Members,
At some point of time you must have posed a question or had some issue that was pegging you. You tried to get answers from members and resolve issues. Time must have passed and you had an outcome for the issue you were worried/working. It would be nice if you post the experience what happened to the issue you were worried over the period of time. How it has been resolved or what is logical end.
For ex:
I posted a question about my worry about travel to india with out the reciept notice and finally it ended up recieving the notice 3 days before my travel. I have gone through different tensions in the process. IV forums helped me understand where I stood what actions I needed to take. I took those actions, and it resulted in a favourable outcome at the end.
This happened just because some one has posted their experience.
So it is just not posing the questions on the forums but as the time passes do update what happened to your question.
This helps many other IV members who may come across same situations. Some of the IV members do this but few others they just forgot to return back and update the members what happened to their situations later. Do care to let people who answered you know what was the result.
Admin,
if possible make this as a sticky, probably helps a lot of people.

Hi,
Me and My friend developed a product, which is ready to launch. The product is very good and two fortune 500companies are willing to implement the product and back us up.
Now my problem is I am on H1B working fulltime with a company and also have an EAD. At this moment I cannot leave my fulltime job. My question is , if I can be a partner with my friend in the new company we are forming( My friend is a US citizen), also will I be able to get paid ( as the developement of the product drained my pocket, this was the hope and I think we are close to reap the hardwork) . Also my wife is also on EAD , can she be the partner? Will there be any issue if I can do that.
Please help!!

Sen. Patrick Leahy ( D-Vermont ) introduced the Uniting American Families Act ( S. 424 ) earlier this year; it has 18 co-sponsors. The bill would allow same sex couples the same immigration rights as married heterosexual couples. Passage of the bill is likely to be tied to overall immigration reform.
At the moment, same-sex partners of legal immigrants do not have the same rights to dependent status that heterosexual spouses get. This is true even if the couple is legally married in their home country. Often, the "dependent" partner must apply for a B-2 visitor visa at the consulate, to accompany his/her partner. This visa is discretionary, and consulates could refuse to issue it. In addition, B-2 status does not allow the dependent partner to work in the US. Many heterosexual dependent spouses have a status that doesn't allow them to work either, however.
As the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/03/us/politics/03immig.html) reports:
Senator Leahy�s bill would add the term �permanent partner� to sections of current immigration law that refer to married couples, and would provide a legal definition of those terms.
�I just think it�s a matter of fairness,� he said Tuesday in an interview, noting that a number of American allies, including Canada, France and Germany, recognize same-sex couples in immigration law. Photo by http://www.flickr.com/photos/boscobridalexpos/

I applied for I 485 , AP and EAD during 07 July. I got a fp notice back in 2007 and I got another one two weeks ago. I went ahead and did my bio-metrics over the weekend at TSC Application Support Center.
Does this mean that somebody has looked into my file and pre adjudicated it? or is it a automated thing and does not mean anything?
Please advice!
I do not know. I got a notice too. Due for Biometrics this month end.

For what it's worth, I can totally understand why someone wouldn't want to use a DataGrid. The day that I happily use one will probably be the same day that all of my ambitions about life come to an end. Their corporate component-ness is hard to shake, and being told that they can be "skinned and customized" just forewarns of the fun times that you and your pal the DataGrid are going to have in the coming, sleepless nights ahead. :tired:

I have one question about signing the affidavit of support (864) for immigration of a family member.
(i.e. For petition for Immediate Relative- daughter files for mother)
If daughter signs an affidavit of support for mother (i.e. form 864) for immigrant visa (Immediate relative) then in that case for daughter is it going to create any problem in getting study loans/home loan in future?
Just curious, how are they related.
I'm not seeing any connection between these items.
Affidavit is for USCIS to show the ability that she can take the financial burden, study loan is for university to decide borrower can able to pay or not and mortgage loan is also the same, in both the cases you have to pay back and in first case it is not.

Slightly sooner than expected but the H1B cap was reached today. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to reach the statutory cap for fiscal year (FY) 2011. USCIS is notifying the public that yesterday, Jan. 26, 2011, is the final receipt date for new H-1B specialty occupation petitions requesting an employment start date in FY2011.
The final receipt date is the date on which USCIS determines that it has received enough cap- subject petitions to reach the limit of 65,000. Properly filed cases will be considered received on the date that USCIS physically receives the petition; not the date that the petition was postmarked. USCIS will reject cap-subject petitions for new H-1B specialty occupation workers seeking an employment start date in FY2011 that arrive after Jan. 26, 2011.
USCIS will apply a computer-generated random selection process to all petitions that are subject to the cap and were received on Jan. 26, 2011. USCIS will use this process to select petitions needed to meet the cap. USCIS will reject all remaining cap-subject petitions not randomly selected and will return the accompanying fee.
On Dec. 22, 2010, USCIS had also received more than 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of persons exempt from the cap under the �advanced degree� exemption. USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions that are otherwise exempt from the cap.
Those who missed the filing this week, should get ready to file on April 1, 2011 for the FY 2012 term, we feel that visas will run out fast this coming April.

Yes, you can use it for multiple entries (The I-512L should say "this is valid for multiple entries" or something to that effect). But, please be prepared to answer the questions (if any) on what is the necessity to travel on an AP 3 times within the year. If it is on business, that is perfectly within the stated rule. But, if it is vacation, you may be questioned (that is dependent on the individual officer).
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-131instr.pdf
Please read the above instructions about how it has been mentioned that the AP be used sparingly and not in lieu of a visa.

Last week I attended the Annual Immigration Lawyers conference in Las Vegas. During the conference, government officials spent some time to update the attendees of the most recent information and upcoming changes.
It seems that the collection of the $500 fraud fee for new H1B or L-1 petitions is being used to invest in hiring more investigators. One recent trend is that business practices that were standard and went unchallenged previously, now are being viewed as �fraud.� Many companies must revise their practices to meet current standards. This does not mean that these practices of employers or businesses are necessarily fraudulent.
The biggest frustration for lawyers dealing with H1B's are the unreasonable RFE's being issued by the service since the April 1 filing. USCIS is making requests for photos of the premises, copies of contracts between all involved parties, and evidence of doing business including leases, licenses, and other proof. These requests are onerous for employers, as well as disruptive and harmful to both the employer and the employee when the H1B petition is often denied without valid justification.
USCIS presumes fraud if the employer meets two out of the following three criteria: has been doing business for fewer than ten years, has fewer than 25 employees, and/or has less than $10 million in revenue. Most well-established, bona fide companies started with these drawbacks. Even many large, well-known, highly-reputable companies are being issued intensive requests for evidence (RFEs) that seem to be without basis. This trend must stop, otherwise employers will be discouraged from filing for new H1B workers.

I-130 does play a role, when applying for visitors visa. but that doesnt disquialify anyone from getting visa. you have to show string ties to your country and provide enough evidence that you will come back. there are cases where they hv granted 10yrs multple visas !!
As long as you disclosed your sister's immigration intent in the paper work and sent the right paperwork, it shouldn't be a problem.
