I am planning to get my H1 stamped during my next trip to India and have a couple of questions
1) Have anyone used Yourmaninindia or Sahara Care or any other service to deposit H1 forms at VFS Mumbai. For Mumbai consulate, the forms need to be submitted 3 days prior to Visa Interview and they do not accept courier :mad:
2) I recently found that if you have an appointment at one of the consulates in Mexico, you can Fax the 797 and get PMIS verified in advance.
Do we need to submit the entire H1 fee for appointment ? If there is a cheaper way, I am thinking of taking an appointment , get PMIS verified and cancel the appointment.
3) Any idea if they do a PMIS verification for H1 extensions (same company) as well ?
I am hoping this helps. My H1 renewal 7th year came through in December effective January 10 2010. I was at the Mumbai consulate interviewing for H1 visa on January 21st and received my passport in hand in 3 business days.

Surprisingly, they do not charge for this service. Since I would be applying for renewal of my pp and not for a new pp, they do not charge anything. The only problem is remembering and sending it to them for renewal which is also time consuming.

First of all congratulations to all those who got their approval in the last couple months. Now comes the big dilemma for some of us. Did anyone tried to switch their jobs, or at least, ditch their current employer? Did anyone switched their employer immediately after the green card approval? I am sailing in this boat. I want to switch my employer ASAP, but is hesitating to do so... as you know there are some obvious reasons later. What are other problems that you think other than getting tons of questions during the citizenship? Appreciate your answers. ;)
I've taken quite a few lawyer opinions on this. It is best to stay put for 6 months to a year if you want to play it safe. There's no rule set in stone regarding this. If there is a very compelling opportunity, go for it. If not, just chill a little. If your employer treated you badly because you were on the green card leash, return the favor by playing some games with such employers & enjoy the fun.

Recent memo from USCIS and 485 for does suggest that intial evidence is must. But this does not mean automatic rejection. I will suggest to wait till you get the receipt.
If you are worried about getting EAD then I don't think that should be an issue as USCIS is not going to discover till they start working on your case.
But this has to be corrected and hopefully, if dates become current for you in future, you just send an amendment.
Dear Friends,
Could somebody help us with an urgent question?
In our 485 application, the lawyer put my divorce certificate from my previous marriage in my file but not in my wife's file. According to the 485 instruction, my divorce certificate should be included in my wife's file as initial evidence because she is the derivative applicant.
Will USCIS deny my wife's 485?

-Do I need to fill out a Labor form again or just I-129 to USIC ???
Thanks for any info.
Your company has to obtain Labor Condition Application for H-1B & H-1B1 Non immigrants (LCA Form ETA-9035E) and File I-129 along with the supporting documents.

Hi,
I am a US citizen and my mom has been coming to the US once every 3-4 years for the last 15 years on a visitor visa (around 5-6 times). Each time, we had no issue in extending her stay, but her extension got denied yesterday. While I could have applied for her GC, she really did not prefer to apply for a GC since she wanted to spend more time in India than here.
My questions are as follows:
1. I have not got the official letter yet (had email notification), but is there really anything we can do to appeal her extension denial. I think I pretty much sent everything I could possibly can - letter with reasons similar to earlier extensions, return ticket itinerary, affidavit of support, bank statements etc. Another reason we gave is that she cannot travel alone - and my brother is leaving to India in 2 months and she wants to go back with him. I dont know what else we can say to extend her stay.
2. My mom is around 75 years old, and we really don't want to explore the option of leaving within 10 days (she never visited my brother in the last 5 years and she is with him now for only the last 2 weeks after a cross-country flight and recuperating). What I would like to know is - how soon can she safely leave. I think my mom is pretty much done with the US - and doesnt care if she gets a 3 year ban. But - I would like to know if there is any issue if she leaves in 2-3 months (i.e. overstay by 2 months considering the date she got her denial). Will they know at the US airport where she leaves, that she overstayed and (possibly) detain her for questioning. I know there are some airports that require you to document that you left by using a thumb-print.
3. 6 months+ overstay = 3 year ban. < 6 months overstay = ? (is this at the discretion of the POE officer? Can he deny entry - which would be kind of the worst possible future situation, but would like to know so that we can take as much of an informed decision as possible.
4. Can I apply for her GC now to keep her stay legal? Again, even if I apply - she is GOING back to India in 2 months and I will likely need to withdraw her application later.
Any advice on her options is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna

Each month visa bulletin is preceded with a demand data. So bulletin should come today or tomorrow.
Check out data for China. It shows significant reduction from last month. Expectations are low for India but China will advance a lot in July.

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The Barack Obama Administration recently announced that border guards at United States Ports of Entry (POE) will begin screening aliens arriving from certain countries based on specific information about threats to the USA. The immigration attorneys at Los Angeles' Fong & Chun immigration law firm are advocates for national security balanced against sensible protections for civil rights. We hope this change will reduce the number of unwarranted, unreasonable, and (usually) unfriendly challenges to certain arriving visitors.
Since the New York terrorist attack in September 2001, the USA has maintained a list of approximately fourteen countries (the so-called "group of fourteen") which are considered to encourage state-sponsored terrorism, or which are believed to provide assistance to terrorists. The US would not even officially name the specific countries, or confirm the exact number of countries, on the list. All citizens of one of these countries -- of any gender, any age, any social class, any educational level, for any reason -- would be subjected to additional interrogation by US Border Guards.
The newly-announced change sets up a system which uses intelligence information and threat assessment -- about specific persons, specific targets, and specific descriptions, to identify passengers who might have a link to terrorism. Quite properly, those persons would be subjected to additional scrutiny. Others who do not meet the more reasoned threat profiles would be allowed to enter the USA in the way of other visitors.
For example: most people in the know would say that the Islamic Republic of Iran was part of the group of fourteen. All citizens from Iran -- absolutely all -- would be pulled aside and interrogated at POEs. Under the new system, if the US has specific information about a 26-year old male Iranian student, or an Iranian woman with a certain name, or even someone with a partial passport number, then persons meeting those descriptions will be pulled aside. This allows border guards to focus their efforts on persons about whom the USA has specific threat-related information. --jcf

Hello Gurus,
Here is my situation and I really appreciate your advice:
I have filed my I-485, EAD, and AP thru my employer (consulting company) in EB3 category. I have received my EAD and AP but i havent invoked AC21.
I also have approved labor (PD--01/2006), and approved I-140 in EB2 category thru my client's company.
Since, EB3 category is not going anywhere, I am thinking of filing another I-485 thru my client in EB2 category.
1) Is it possible for me to file second I-485 in EB2 category while first I-485 is waiting for approval?
2) Can i port my EB3 PD (12/2003) while filing 2nd I-485 thru client?
Thanks in advance!!!

I am in the same boat. My 7-9 yr extn will be up in December. My PD is Dec 2005 EB2. I would like to apply for 3 yr extn of H1. I am thinking if I should just renew my EAD instead of renewing my H1. Also what would be the filing fee for H1? $320 or $320 + $1500?
Thanks.
My Green card is in the processing and I-140 was approved
in Dec 2007. The priority date is in Jun 2007 and EB2 category. Applied for renewal of EAD and AP recently.
I am on H1b and it is due for renewal in 3 months. I will be on H1b for 4 1/2 yrs by that time.
I hope h1b will be issued for 3 yrs since pending 485 for more than a year.
I think renewing is helpful just in case if there is any issue with 485.
1. Is it worth to renew H1b?
2. How much will it cost to renew H1b?
3. Since the h1b is issued for 3 yrs based on pending 485. If any issue with 485 will it impact H1b?
Thanks in advance.

All,
I am a little confused. I just got my H1B extension done recently and my attorney sent me a letter saying that if I go out of the country for stamping I need to make sure my Passport is valid beyond the H1B period.
My passport expires in May 2008 and my current H1 is valid till July 2010. Does anyone see any issues in going for stamping in India in July 2007 with my current passport and later on some time next year applying for a new Indian passport.
Appreciate your help
