Hi,
I entered the US on H4 visa. Last year I got my H1b approval but my I797 came with without the I94. When I went to apply for SSN they said they need the I94. My employer's lawyer said a change of status has to be applied for that but that can be done only once I have a job/paystubs.
Is that true?
But obviously I cannot have a job when I am actually back to my h4 status right now and cannot apply for my SSN.
What is required to apply for change of status from h4 to h1?
Are there chances of it getting rejected(since we have been hearing of so many petition rejections these days)?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards

169000 out of estimated 12 million is actually more than 100 times what you show it as 0.01%. It is close to 1.4%.
He got his quotient right but forgot to multiply it by 100 to convert that into a percentage!

It seems people who applied for AP in TSC are getting their APs faster, compared to those who applied at NSC.
Refer processing times at https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC and search for "All other applicants for advance parole". Right now they are processing July 03, 2007 cases.

I'm at the annual meeting of the American Immigration Lawyers Association here in Las Vegas. More than 10, 000 lawyers gathered here in Las Vegas to learn about the most recent updates from the Government directly.
We just finished a session with the Department of Labor. Some of the key news is that more company audits are on the way. In fact, currently there are 200 cases pending in the audit line. They promised more audits as the icert system will become a standard in filing PERM, LCA and Prevailing wage requests.
Also H2B cases now must prevailing wage requests directly with the Chicago DOL center. There is a slight delay in processing. They are currenlty working on PWD's filed on May 8th or before. Wea ll need to be patient.
I will keep posting more updates as the day progresses. Next I am off to the USCIS open forum. More exciting news to report soon.

Hi! I need a help.. and I mean HELP. Cause my gc is still pending. we (my family & i) are still waiting for it to come and my problem is that I am planning to go back to my country to study college in there.. Classes will start on the first week of June, and i guess that I cannot wait for my green card to come. My questions are:
1. Can I use my H4 visa (that had been issued in US embassy in my country of origin) to leave US?
2. Do I still need to get AP?? Even if I am a dependent of my parent?
3. Incase our (family) GC arrived in our house here in the US, can they just go home in our country of origin with the green card? (my greencard?)
4. Can I use my green card (brought by my parents from US) to enter back to US???
thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hi all,
I am in the middle of H1-B transfer from Comp A to Comp B.. I have an urgent question,
Company A didn't run my payroll from 11/26/07-4/11/08 because i was out of the project,since then i have had a consistent payroll no gaps, my question is
1.will that affect my H1-b transfer?
I dont think it will affect as per my knowledge, in verst case, they might ask for your 2008 W2 from the old company and I assume that you had on payroll from May to year end, so you can show that if they ask
2.will USCIS go back that far to verify my paystubs?, and
Normall they will go back to 6 months max, but be prepare to submit the Client letter to prove that you have project for next couple of years, keep in mind that if you show client letter for only few months, USCIS is will issue only for that period, it happened for couple of guys....these days proof of project is a key for transfers...good luck....
Please Please Please reply , if possible any attorneys
Thanks in Advance

TIA!

Folks,
My I-485 is filled at Nebraska Service Center. Does anyone has the address where to send AC21 job change letter ?
I plan to file it myself.
Thanks
To where you sent your 485 package. I recommend to utilize services of Attorney - primarily because they attach their cover letter with their letterhead which could make some difference

When I went to my county health dept to get vaccination shots (for medical exam), they asked me to see the civil surgeon first, "else you will pay lot more for shots that you do not need". I gave them the standard list (MMR, Polio, DTaP, Influenza type B, Hepatitis B), and there are a few more in (page 3 of) I-693 form (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-693.pdf). Someone on this thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5553) (second-last post) says you may need a shorter list based on your age group. Did anyone recently take these shots, and can she/he give the correct list here?
Thanks.
I only took TDaP (Adacel) shot. For MMR, Hepatitis B and Chicken Pox I had a blood test which showed that I am immune. You do not need polio shot.

Hello all, please share your thoughts/advice on my case.
Worked for Employer A from May 2004 - April 2007
I-140 approved for Employer A in January 2007 (EB2 Category)
Changed job in April 2007 to Employer B (my current employer).
I-485 filed in July 2007 using approved I-140 from Employer A, and a letter for future employment.
Employment verification RFE received in June 2009
My lawyer advises to use AC21 and provide employment verification letter from my current employer (Employer B) for this RFE response.
Since my I485 filing was based on future employment and I did not work for Employer A for 180 days after filing I-485, this causes some complexity.
AC21 invocation letters typically state that you're using AC21 for switching employment after 180 days. What argument should be used to invoke AC21 in my case?
Thanks!

My case was approved by BEC on July 18. My attorney says that my 140 has to be filed by July 31 to be eligible to file under July visa bulletin [by 17th August]
Is his interpretation correct?
I can not do concurrent for a few more days, until my family returns from India.
If I go with 140 now, I am afraid the 140 receipt may not arrive in time for me to file for 485.

Attorney is correct, when the requirement is Bachelor+5yr means Bachelors should be 4yr degree, Remember there is a big difference between Bachelors degree vs Bachelor degree equivalent;)
Bs+5 or masters+1 years of experience

You are not limited to change job within the same corporation. However you are limited to changing the job within same or similar occupation.
Old company can revoke I-140 since it is their application. They can not revoke I-485 since it is your application. You may get RFE to show that you are still employed in same/similar occupation but that's about it. You don't need to start all over or lose your place in the queue.

Just to be contrarian, I think the recent H1-B and L-1 fee increase is an opportunity. Instead of playing a victim of legislative abuse, we should come out batting with an offense. We should get businesses to lobby for us. We should get congress people educated about the unfairness. We should not say the fee is wrong, because these are after all elected officials and they will not jeopardize their election prospects by going against this measure. So we should say ok take this fee but then provide us with administrative fixes that we want.
The H1B/L1 fees is designed to hit the body shopping business model. It is nothing but a
legal/labor cost arbitrage that most indian IT service shops follow.
The fees is not the last but the beginning and more will be piled on as they will come back again in a year or so to fund more "secure the mexican border" initiatives. It is a beast that can never be satisfied. The American It companies are not impacted by the 50% rules and they care less about it. So it the resistance effort will be very minimal...like it happened this time.

Is there any solution going to come to help peoples here for 9 � 10years paying taxes, contributing to social security, Medicare, having clean records etc, and stuck on numerical limits and VISA numbers availability.
Being in this situation is not because of not started process timely, where as this is caused by the way processing tied up with employer to get GC. And as soon as changed employer the whole process reset. Sometimes employee has to take decisions in the best interest of employers, where as one has to pay price like sitting in the GC Queue again and which was also not bad till the retrogress hit hard.
There also best possibilities that people stuck in queue and waiting for GC are highly skilled, financially healthy, and capable to invest but surely not doing so in the anxiety
Even in the current economic situations most of them also lost their big chunk of money from 401k, IRA and other investment which is going to take years to recover.
