I applied for H1-B visa on April 2007 and the petition was approved from October 2007 to 26Th of September 2010 but when I came to USA consulate office to get the visa it became pending putting under administrative processing. It took almost 3 years to get the reconfirmation and last week I received the visa.
The visa issuing date is 27Th May and the expiry date is 24Th August but there is another date in bottom right part of it as PED : 26 September 2010 which is my petition's expiry date.
Now I am planning to move to USA for a long term stay so that I am selling my stuff, renting my house,.. and I just got confused by considering this date.Does this mean my visa will be expire on September and my H1 visa is just for some months? In this case does this mean I have lost 3 years of the total 6 years of the H1 visa? or the the officer issuing the visa on I-94 form in the ports of entry can issue the visa for 3 years as a normal H1-B visa?
I have arranged with my employer to start the job on 10Th of July and I will enter USA on 8Th, so up to 26Th of September which is the PED date will be less than 3 months and if the white I-94 card that will be in my passport should correspond with the expiration of the petition, the total of my work duration, will be less than 3 months which really doesn't make sense at all but as it seems that's it!
It seems now the only way is to apply for H1-b extension. So there will be these questions:
1- how will be the process and how much are the fees?
2- How long does it take?
3- Do I have to go back to my home country to get the new stamp for extension?
4- Is there any way to renew it in USA ?
5- Is 2.5 months of work enough to apply for extension? or I have to come sooner if it is really necessary.
6- In my first interview on 2007 they got all the original documents from me and never return them back to me. should I ask for duplication?
7- Is there anything else that my employer and I should know and consider?
I have to know the answers to these questions, first to arrange with employer and to see if they are interested and also to decide about our stuff, jobs, properties,... in my home country before entring the USA, otherwise it can be the loose of everything for us.
Please help me

I was in same situation, My Labor & I 140 was approved before I got married and at the time when I was applying for my wife's H4 visa and we answered it NO since none of those applications had her linked any where.
Hello,
My wife is planning to attend for a H4 Visa Re stamping. I have couple of questions regarding the visa application process. Appreciate if you can help me with my questions
1) In DS156 should my answer to the Question� �Has Anyone Ever Files an Immigrant Petition on your behalf� be NO. FYI, my 140 is approved and waiting on 485 priority date. I don�t think I gave my wife�s name yet in my labor or 140 approval process
2) There is a section to be filled in VFS website called� Petition Details from 797/. I assume that principal applicant would be me. However I am not sure what to fill in the following questions
Petition Receipt #
Petition Expiration date
Petitioner Name: I assume it is my company name
Is the above info to be filled in from My 797 ( case type I129)or my wife�s 797( case type I539) Receipt #?
Please advice
Thanks,

Friends,
A unique situation -
I am getting ready to apply for my wife's AOS (ROW). She has never used a last name on any legal documents, example birth certificate, passport.
Her H4 visa was processed with "FNU" - family name unknown .. Do I need a last name for filing her I-485? Can she get a GC with only her first name on it?
Or will they process it with FNU as last name...
Should i go to her embassy (Indonesia) and get her passport changed to my last name before applying for her 485? In that event, her H4 visa,passport and birth certificate will not match her passport..
Any thoughts on my situation?
I guess, nobody really knows the answer. If she does not have a last name and all she uses is her first name, it should be alright. Since all her legal documents- Birth certificate, Passport, DL, Bank Statements have this legal first name only. If she now wants to use your family, last name after getting married, that could also be done. You should really consult your lawyer on this one. Please do not use any advice from this forum as legal or valid.

Any suggestion please..
You could file a new 485 based on your approved I-140 and withdraw the old I-485. That seems to be the easiest way.
This is not legal advice. Please consult a qualified attorney.

Yes there are limits to salary. I will try to post more details on it when time permits and as I myself find details from my own research.
Basically, stay above what was in your labor/140. Do not go too high, 10% per year raise is ok. Job duties should stay same or similar. You can be a sr. software programmer from a software programmer but not a VP or Architect...(you got my point).
This is a gray area and tough to get a correct advice easily.
This is also a big issue for our community since people cannot get promoted or take big salary raises due to this limitation. Ask people who are stuck in 485 stage for many years.
I know a lot of people are counting days to just jump into a new job after 180 days. But make sure you factor in all the risks when you do this. Be prepared for an RFE on it.
and BTW I am reading so many posts that say you can jump jobs before 180 days. Please do not misrepresent the Yates Memo and regulations to prove a point. You need to stck to the job for 180 days definitely. The only exception is that if you are sure that the job offer will wait for you indefinitely in infinite future when you get an RFE. Do not take immigration laws lightly. And yes, always seek advice from a good lawyer when you take such important decisions. Forums are simply opinions from people without a law degree or experience.
will post more on this thread as I find more info

Hi
My H1 is due for extension this year end.
Valid period of H1 remaining is 1 1/2 year since extension
I understand that H1 extension has to go through the rigorous procedure nowadays.
It needs client letter stating that project will last for 1 year.
Getting such letter is not possible.
So having I140 approved makes thing easy for H1 extension? Or same process for h1 extension is followed
Please reply
Thanks
Abbey
Same process for a H-1 even if you get an I-140 approval, they may not require the client to say that the project will last for 1 year, i have seen that it is sufficient to say that the project is extendable. Ofcourse you might get an officer who is unreasonable, in which case you can file an appeal, no requirement in the law to ask for an 1 year contract to get a H-1.

I am on an H-1 and my wife has an H-4 visa.
We filed our I-485 in July 2007 and will be current as of July 1st 2010 as per the June 2010 visa bulletin.
We do not have an AP as we didn't renew it after the first one (from July 07) expired.
We do have valid EAD�s (which we have not used until now)
We have to travel urgently to India for some personal reasons in July 2010.
What if we get our Green Card while we are gone? Can we still enter using our valid H-1/H-4 visas/status? If not, is it mandatory to have an AP to re-enter in this case?
Thanks in advance.
You will have to get your AP and enter the US using it. That would be best. Consult your lawyer too..

My Permanent residency is being processed thru Employer A (I-140 not done yet).
Employer A also holds my H1B. This is my only H1B, and it extends based on approved labor as I am on my 7th year if H1B.
If A files for Chapter 11, will my H1B and permanent residency get cancelled/revoked?
If my current H1B is valid till Nov 2010, and employer A files for chapter 11 in Dec 2010, will I be able to stay/work in US at least till Nov 2010?
What will be my options if H1B / GC gets cancelled? Can I transfer this H1B to a different employer? Or, can a different employer has to file for a new H1B? :confused:
Your answer/advices are highly appreciated.

I request you to get a couple of friends together and schedule a meeting with the Senators local office. IV website has lots of resources and if you were to let us know once you have the meeting set up, one of us will get in touch with you and brief you on how to conduct the meeting.
Thank you for your help. Keep us posted.

Today, our AP status has changed to "Document mailed to applicant". Does this mean that they have mailed the approval document or is it an RFE document?
For most of the applicants the status has turned to "Approval Notice sent" but mine is different. Is anyone in the same boat.

Please note that this is only me and I might have a comletely different risk tolerance than you might have.
You may already know but, make sure you also have an APPROVED Advance Parole before travel.

I want to transfer my H1 , I got aproject . But I dont have Jan Pay stub . I have up to Dec 2008. will it cause any problem for transferuess
I guess your question has been answered many times.. If you do manage to get the H1 filed there will definitely be an RFE. Instead please try to speak to your employer and get the pay for the time you were off the project as he is legally supposed to pay your salary even if you were off project. You can always request payroll's run for backdated wages. If you are not able to convince your employer to pay you file a complaint against them at DOL and then apply for H1 transfer with supporting information so that the USCIS gets to know that it is not due to a fault of yours that you are unable to produce the pay stubs
- cheers

Is this a good time to Initiate GC process.
------------------------------
I was employed with company A and right now with B, My H1 is Valid till Sep-2010 and can apply for Renewal. My employer is ready to process GC for me.
I am also interested to start the process, my main worry is whether I am eligible to change the employer meantime, or I have to stick to current employer only for few more years which is indefinite.
-- Experts please advice me which is the best option : change the employer and start the GC.. ?
-- or Start GC with current employer and can transfer H1 at the later stage.? if yes at what stage.
-- In current market conditions is it safe to transfer H1
--- Thanks

I received a duplicate order from Hewlett-Packard. Per the customer service person I was instructed to remove the shipping label and write the return number on the box, then call Fed Ex for a pickup, all of which I did. Now, a few weeks later my credit card account has not been credited. I've called the customer service people several times, and received a transmitting tracking number for the return. I've called Fed Ex who say what I have is not adequate to track the item supposedly sitting at their warehouse. I've spoken to the supervisor at HP, and she, like everyone else, keeps referring my problem to the "return specialist", who is supposed to query Fed Ex about this, but nothing happens. Their excuse is that they don't have the actual tracking number to do this. One HP rep I spoke to told me that the return item had not been scanned since the initiation of the return, implying negligence. Yeah somebody dropped the ball. Where do I go next to get some action taken?
