I am on H1B with this company A for the past 2 years. Suddenly/shockingly, due to some unavoidable circumstances, the company is on verge of financial trouble for a short period of time. In case the company does not get some bridge funds, it will shut off its business for 30 days and all the employees will go on UNPAID vacation for that duration. It is not the termination of services or jobs but a temporary absence until company gets some more fuel in the tank.
I am not sure if this will have any effect on my status or not. Again, its not a termination but a temporary leave (for all the employees) without pay for 30 days.
Your opinions are highly appreciated!!!

If you file the extension before expiry of the current I-94, you will be OK. It can be approved even after the expiry. She will be considered to be legally present without gap, if extension is granted.

Is this still an issue?
Seems like it is still an issue.
"By week�s end, Congress is expected to (again) re-up funding for the federal government to (again) avert a government shutdown � for another three weeks.
Congress is slated to approve a three-week spending measure over the next few days that would extend a March 18 deadline to keep the government�s lights on until April 8. In the meantime, lawmakers hope they can agree on a longer-term continuing resolution through September when this fiscal year ends."

Anyone has any idea what is normal time after response to RFE? I am EB3 with PD of Oct, 2003.
Do you recemmend me to call service center or go for infopass?
Thanks.

I was just wondering if they stall the 485 processing once they issue an RFE on EAD. Would they hold the case in abeyance or are these two mutually exclusive.
Btw, am not sure of the reason for RFE yet.
Has anyone had their 485 approved with an RFE pending on EAD or AP?

Hello Attorney,
Is my perm valid if I am out the US without H1 B status? OR
Can I get H1B extension if my perm & I 140 get approved when I am out of the US without H1B status?
Here is my situation:
-My I140/I485 got denied -- in Aug 2009
-I got 9th H1B extension which is valid till Apr 2010
(As I know after Apr 2010 that I am not eligible to get extensions)
-My present company started filing PERM in Dec 2009 (No chances of getting PERM & I 140 approvals before Apr 2010)
-My company planning to send me out of the US (probably India/Japan) in Apr 2010 to work from there because of my H1B expiration. They want to continue my PERM and I 140 process.
My question to the attorneys:
If my PERM get approved after 6 or 8 months I am eligible for H1B extension even though I am out of the country without H1 B status?
Or
Do I need to wait 1 year to get the new H1B for 3+3 years?
I really appreciate your suggestions.

I have a PD of April 2008 in the EB2-I category, but am exploring the option of switching to EB1 if possible. I am a clinical psychologist, working in a not-for-profit agency. What are my chances? Does it depend more on the case itself or a really good lawyer who can present your case in the best way it can be presented? This is a really stressful situation because my husband's H1-B runs out next summer and we cannot live here on just my income. Any feedback?

US rolls out new online visa form in India
By IANSJanuary 6th, 2010
NEW DELHI - With the demand for US visas surging by the day, the US embassy and its consulates in India have introduced a new online non-immigrant visa (NIV) application form to cut out needless delays.
The DS-160 form will be online on the website of the US embassy from Jan 19. For all NIV visa appointments starting Feb 1, applicants will need to fill out the DS-160 form, the US embassy said here Wednesday while announcing the introduction of the new form.
The new form, that leverages new technologies, is expected to cut processing delays as applications could be pre-processed and pre-screened before an applicants interview.
Applicants will continue to complete visa application forms online, as they did previously with the Electronic Visa Application Form, the embassy said.
The demand for American visas has been escalating in India over the years.
The four US consulates in the country had processed 725,000 visas in 2007 - a 58 percent increase from 2006.
India is among the top 10 countries sending visitors to the US.

Found this interesting information on the shusterman.com.
"The next day, Representative Tom Lantos (D-CA) introduced the "Health Improvement and Professionals Act of 2005" (H.R. 139). The bill proposes to "recapture" over 130,000 immigrant visas lost due to bureaucratic inertia during 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004."

I am having a proiblem with the I140 approval and I485 visa requested in wrong category. My Labor Certification is filed in EB3( BS with 2 plus years of experience). The company does not want to take risk hence filed in EB3 category.
After the labor certification is approved I filed my I140 in EB2 with the appropriate documentation qualifying for the upgraded/change position with additional skills and my I140 got approved in EB2 and the approval has 203 (b) 2.
After filing I485, interview is scheduled and the officer satisfied that the documents are sufficient and I am approveable the Immigration Officer requested visa number and came back saying no visa number is available hence we need to wait. At the time of interview(Ocotber 2005) both EB3 and EB2 are retrogressed. The officer did not give any sort of documents hence did not know anything such what category he requested what code did he use.
In July 27th the Immigration Officer mentioned that the previous officer requested the visa number in EB3(E37). I spoke with an attorney who said that it is possible to change and hence taken the steps to correct the error/mistake of wrong EB Category.Because of this wrong category I did not get visa number.
What are my chances that the USCIS goes back and corrects the error and put back in EB2 and request number in E21 or E26.I already sent the letters of my I140 approval, receipt of I140. What process should I take apart from reaching out CIS Ombudsman, Congresswoman,Senator,self letter addressing to the USCIS about the error and the potential long waiting periods for no fault of mine.
Any suggestions?
