Hello,
I have following situation and need some help on making my travel decision:
1. Me and my wife booked ticket to travel to India on October 27th and coming back on November 29th. Our advance parole will expire in NOV 18th. We have H1B approval till 2010 from a company A. I am working on H1B and my wife working on EAD.
2. Me and my wife filed EAD/AP July 29th 2008. My AP got approved on Aug 31. But my wifes AP/EAD is not yet approved.
3. Two months back my H1B sponsoring company( company A) was acquired by company B. Company B is a Canadian company. Company B has taken all obligations and liabilities of LCA's of company A.
4. Since the aquiring comany is candian company my offer letter and the employment verifaication letters are with address and telephone numbers of canada/ottawa.
5. My pay stubs are still issued with name of Campany A.
6. Since My wifes AP is not approved we are planning stamp out H1B/h4 visa at us onsulate in chennai. I am wondering with above situation is there any risk in visa approval at chennai consulate ?
7. Is there any way from now and OCtober 27 I can expidate the AP approval for my wifes application?
8. How long it takes these days for H1B visa approvals at chennai with the new PIMS process ? Will I get visa approved on Nov 10th if my interview is on NOV 3rd?
9. What are the risks in this travel ?
gcman2005,
1) If you do not pocess the approved A/P document before you leave US, you have no option but to get H4 stamping done at a US consulate outside US
2) H1/H4 stamping shouldn't take more than 7 days at any US consulate in India, although they say 7 days it is usually much faster i,e 2-3 days.
3) H1/H4 stamping for reentering US residents usually they would issue very easily, i,e there should not be any risks.
Good luck

No one seems to be talking abt it....no news, no discussions..that is what lobbying is all abt...not abt making a hue and cry before lame duck and seeing nothing passed through.....The Caucus of companies taht has kinda threatened to outsource if H1Bs are not increased....might just fall flat.

Below is a draft statement i prepared and appreciate if you can review it and suggest any changes reqd if this is not convincing.
I travelled to Tijuana, Mexico from San Diego. I entered the US Port of Entry at San Ysidro. My previous I-94 white entry card had been taken and I requested a new I-94 but since I already had a valid I-94 on my H-1B approval notice, the office would not issue a new I-94 white entry card.
I have a copy of my previous I-94 entry card from <prev_entry_date>
Few questions that may arise based on above statement:
1. Why was your I94 from H1B notice still with you and not submiited at POE when you left the country?
-Since i travelled by land the US POE is in Tijuana and so i submitted my expired I94 to them and also the valid I94 from H1B notice and asked for new white I94 card. Unfortunately the officer just stapled the valid H1B I94 to passport and told i am good to go. There is no stamp on it either and hence i am concerned.
Any other possible questions you can think of that needs to be addressed in my statement?

Thanks so much for your message. Let me list down what I have after the visa transfer to my current employer. Can you pls. help validate if I need anything else for me and my wife? You had mentioned something about I-539. This is what I have.
1. I-797A notice of action in my name. It says Case type - I129 Petition for non-immigrant worker. It says approval notice valid from 12/27/2006 to 12/25/2009.
2. I-797, notice of action in my wife's name. . It says Case type - I539 Application to extend / change nonimmigrant status. It says approval notice valid from 12/02/2007 to 12/25/2009.
Would appreciate very much if someone could help validate.

Vinzak, You have to take into consideration the recaptured visas of the 90's applied in the period 00-06. If I remember correctly the earlier recapture was signed in 2000 by Pres. Clinton . If we exclude those recaptured numbers the actuals are much lesser. Hope this helps.

In a way you are right but not entirely. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring company (that filed H1 for the person) to pay while he/she is employed with the company. Its does not matter whether he/she has a client project or not. So, as long as the sponsoring company say they are going to pay him he/she is legal.
The original poster said that she was "laid off". So the question of her sponsoring company paying her does not arise. And hence she is without a job and she knows it. On this basis I said that it would be considered fraud if she goes for H1B stamping.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. Here's my situation:
Yes, Mats, it jiggles when I adjust the camera. Bracketing should help some, but my understanding of the HDR process is that you want to get a range of exposures from almost black to totally blown out. My camera will bracket through three exposures, one stop on each side of the setting. That doesn't typically get the span that is recommended for the HDR thing in Photoshop CS2, so I'm still looking at touching and adjusting the camera.
The camera is really just a point and shoot, a Minolta Z3. There are no available shutter release cables, remote controls, or other accessories for remote operation of it. However, my next camera....! ;)
Lastly, the tripod is a $30 wal-mart model. It isn't really so wobbly in the legs, but the main mast of it, where I mount the camera, rotates freely through about a 3 - 4 degree range horizontally. This is due to play in the cheap, plastic parts on it. My short term work around for that is probably to jam juicy fruit gum into the gaps or something.
All of this equipment that I bought was for me to learn the basics on, and I am doing a lot of learning these days. So, there again, my next tripod.... ;)

What would we do without you...
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin for January 2008 contains more bad news for Indian nationals in the EB2 category. The cutoff date for EB2, India, retrogressed by two additional years, to January 1, 2000. Moreover, the prediction contained in the Visa Bulletin for EB2, India, is that the annual limit could be reached within the next few months. If this occurs, the category will become "unavailable" for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The explanation for this is simply that demand for visa numbers by the USCIS for EB2, India, adjustment-of-status cases far exceeds supply
EB3 cutoff dates either remained unchanged or moved slightly forward, depending upon country of chargeability. The January Visa Bulletin cutoff dates become effective on January 1, 2008. Until that time, the December 2007 Visa Bulletin cutoff dates remain valid.
thanks

If you are on H1B then your status is not AOS, IT IS H1B. When you do not extend your visa status and get onto EAD or your dependents' H4 expires without EAD, then the status becomes AOS in which case you need AP to travel.
I hope I am reading this incorrectly. Is USCIS now saying that any applicant on AOS must obtain an AP for travel, even if they are on H1B... The post above me is infintely correct if this is the case.. I hope I am wrong in my interpretation
U.S.* Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reminds individuals that they "must" obtain Advance Parole from USCIS before traveling abroad if they have:
* been granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS);
* "a pending application for adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident;"
* a pending application for relief under section 203 of the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA 203);
* a pending asylum application; or
* a pending application for legalization.*

Interesting, looks like all these cases got approved ??
This year in August, most of the WAC I-485 cases were given an unfair beating and were largely neglected in the approvals. Most of these cases are not current now but many will become again next year. So, based on this year's experience, we need to prepare so that we do not again get beaten up. By WAC I-485 cases, I mean cases filed in July 2007 in NSC but were receipted at CSC and sent back to NSC. In g neral, it applies to all cases which were transferred between centers
There were mainly 2 issues faced:
1) Biometrics for these cases do not get attached to file. Reason is when we do the biometrics, the results are sent to CSC because the case number starts with WAC. The results do not automatically get transmitted to NSC. Most of us had to make phone calls to make it happen. By that time, precious time was lost and the visa numbers got over.
The issue will now again come up as most of our fingerprints are approaching 15 month expiry. So, when we again do biometrics in the next few months, the results will remain stuck at CSC.When in July/August in 2009 , we will become current again, our cases will not get picked due to lack of biometrics. So, how do we go about fixing the problem? Writing to ombudsman? I am looking for suggestions. I did write to ombudsman and got some standard response.
2) Second issue faced was inability to file service requests. Even though processing dates were more than 30 days from receipt date, the system was not allowing filing of SRs as it was taking the reps. to CSC 485 processing times which are stuck at 2006. This is totally unfair and if a LIN person is able to file SR we should get the same right. True, SRs often invoke some useless response. But, if PD and RD are current, it can be quite useful.
So, I am asking for suggestions for tacking the above problems so that we can be prepared for next year. The time to act is now.

Hi All,
After so much meeting reminder we had encouraging crowd of two people who participated for the meeting. The decision of the meeting was - we will continue with our foolishness of raising the awareness of Senator and Congressmember, call immigration reporter to cover our story.
I still believe and hope some people may join to help themself. Let me be very frank - I or significant others are in this effort as long as our purpose are not met. After that I will probably say good bye and let next generation take the lead.
Please join to help yourself before it is toooo late. There is no doubt that most of us will be in a situation where you lost job, your wife leaves you because she can't work!!, you have emergency in family but you can't go, you have job but can't process your H1B. You want to do something but you know you did not act when time was ripe. Repenting at that time will not fetch you anything and no one will be around you. Today you may find some companionship.
Please come forward. CIR is something which will help you not hurt you. If you want to do things in background that is also fine. You can contact reporter, Senator office and Congress representative office. Once you have a positive lead, let IV take care from there.
Time is NOW or NEVER. CIR Iron rod is getting heated now. Strike it within one month, while it is hot, to give the shape you want to give otherwise it will be cold and you can not do anything but weap and crib.

My employer says that USCIS confused with another employer with the same name who is not funcioning from 2003(Or this guys would have given their old Licence number of 2003 to USCIS while applying I140 which was overlooked by USCIS while approval). On this confusion they 'Intent to revoke'.My employer has sent the current licence they have to USCIS. So we are waiting for the decision. But I did not see the 'Intent to Revoke' letter myself. They are not sending it too. So i am nervous and thinking of other options.
USCIS site says that additional documents has been received and they will make a decision soon.
