How about sending a letter to the President, using the above suggested structure....asking him to pressurize the congressmen to pass 5822 from the House.......so that he can sign that into law before Nov 4 elections....

congrats and best of luck.

Exception 4 - have a question around this statement: For German transit VISA

- are holding a valid visa or other residence permit for the USA (this includes advance paroles, but not approval notices), Canada or Switzerland and travel to the country which issued that visa or residence permit

do not need transit VISA.

Does that mean if you are travelling from India to US (with valid US Visitor VISA) u need a transit VISA.
Above exception seem to appy only if u are travelling to country that issued u the VISA (india), but in this case we are travelling from that Country to US.
never mind - Exception #3 covers it..

Pixel Stretching is easy.

All you have to do is use the Single Line Selection tool and bring it to a spot in your photo or image. Then copy and paste onto a new layer.

Next, all you have to do is stretch that little area across the screen to the edge of your photo.

Ah, I suck at explaining ,you can see what I mean at the right half of this picture. When you see it, you will understand what I mean.

Any one knows which Airline is good (Cost & Service) from Newark to Bangalore? I have flown AI with stop over in Bom, but would prefer something direct to Bangalore.

Thanks

Air France has a Newark - Paris - Bangalore flight but their price/ service combination is not great. I flew Jet recently and the experience was the best in my 10 years of coach class flying. They do have a stop over in BOM which is not as good as flying direct to BLR but it is not bad either.

trust me if there wasnt a bra in the pic I used then there wouldn't be a bra on the pic I posted lmao.

Hi Gurus / Attorneys,

I have come to this country in 1999 and have worked for company A and after 7 years , I transferred my H1B to company B based company A's approved I-140 in 2007 before July fiasco. Hence missed the July 2007.

Now I have been working for company B for the last 3 years and got my I-140 approved again and applied for H1B extension. Received RFE asking for client letter.
Client was reluctant to give the letter and my H1B got denied.

Asking client for the letter : Client says that they can't give a letter, it's against their company policy :confused:

My Options :

1. MTR : I am not sure if I can get the client letter to open MTR and also file a new H1 in parallel.

2. Go back to my home country : My employer said that they will apply for a new H1B for consular processing (does this come under quota ?)

I own a home here and now leaving everything in a week is making me worried.

Also my priority date is Nov 2002 under EB3 and I am not sure how I can pursue this from my home country, if needed.

Thanks in advance for all your help and suggestions !!

I think your best bet is to expedite all documents suggested by Pbuckeye, If its a direct client then your employer must have all of MSA/SOW/PO, they should have been sent at the first place or atleast at RFE time. Also if possible try to capture some of your timesheets and work emails; I know some people have used this as evidence. You may also provide the contact details of your manager like phone / email, I have seen instances that when the letter has not been provided USCIS has contacted the manager and all they have to confirm is that you work with them and how long tentatively in the future (This can be counterproductive as well if the response is cold). Iam not sure but if your H1B extension is denied and you have filed a MTR whether you can work legally assuming I94 expired, please check this with your attorney.

With your PD you are atleast 3-4 years from filing 485, worst case if you have to go back you can convert to CP assuming the future job offer from the petitioning company is valid. It’s a very sad situation I hope that your MTR gets approved, all the best.

senorita..raj here...

here comes the answers for your responses...


1) Since I wont be coming back to US as of now, what if I do not get my H1 visa stamped. Can I use my approval(I-797)in the present consulting firm's name, for getting H1b stamped through any other company in future.

You need pay stubs of working firm to get the stamping. If you are working presently ..u will ahve some pay stubs and you can use it and get stamped.

2) I understand that stamping is needed only for reentering US. What if i just get the stamping done and still do not come back. In that case, can I still transfer my stamped H1B to any other company without working at all for the consulting firm whose stamp I have on my passport.

If you live out side US for more than 360 days , then u r H1b is invalid. In order to return again you should apply under the H1b cap.

Hope this helps....

I recently visited India in June 07. I didn't wanna go and waste a couple of dayz in chennai so wanted to use ma AP. While returnin I showed ma PP to the Immigration officer, he asked me where ma VISA was. I told him i have an AP and showed it to him.. He wasn't surprized. he just let me get in after stampin a seal on my PP.

At Germany (coz i flew via lufthansa) the lady asked my VISA again. I showed her my AP... she suddenly understood and asked me if i had applied for a GC. I said yes.. she signed a form and let me check in at the counter.

Its so simple no problem at all.

Happy Journey...
OT.. So are you working on H1 now for the same employer? Just wanted to make sure you can use AP to travel and work on H1 and don't have to use EAD.

I will join as well.

both employer and lawyer know in my case...it's not a problem. My supervisor supported me on it...

A more aggressive statement (for selling) not too far from the truth...

There are 400-500,000 waiting in EB queues. Most of them would prefer to leave the country, than wait for 10-20 (30?) years for a green card.
Also at least 65,000 workers come in every year. We will also lose most of this every year unless GC is fixed.

(I am not talking about those who want to stay for 2-4 years only and go back)

Hi,

I am in a situation and hope someone here would be able to provide me with some advice. I was employed by Company A since 2006 and I was working at a Client location for the last 3 years. There is company B who is the primary vendor for the Client. Recently my H1 extension was denied and so I went out of status. I reached out to my end client for help. Since they are happy with my work, they said that they can talk to another vendor (company C) to sponsor a new H1 for me. Company C is now ready to file my H1 but the problem is that Company A somehow got to know about this and is enforcing a non compete agreement on me.

I wanted to know if they can do this even though the H1 was denied and they are unable to provide me with any job. Can they stop me from earning my livelihood. I did not go out and breached any contract, I am trying to move only because my H1 with company A has been denied. The only thing is that the end client is the same.

Regards
H1BInTrouble

I'm taking chances as well..... switching to EAD on day 10, if not earlier.
If probable causes of AOS denial aren't discussed elsewhere, maybe some one knowledgeable can throw some light on the subject.

Munna Bhai and Walking Dude, if you don't have anything constructive to add, and you cannot encourage others, then please do not litter the forums.

I'd got an extension within US, haven't left. Are you sure to put the old visa info. What about the new H1 approval which is valid. Shouldn't one put that info.

BTW, what is the visa no#..is it the control no# or EAC no#...

H1B approval notice doesnt carry any of the information requested like visa no, date issues, place issued

You can check with a lawyer.
Visa number is the number on u'r H1b visa stamp in the passport which is on the right bottom and it's in red color.its not the control number

Yep, email id please

Who gets the AP (Advance parole) document from USCIS , candidate or lawyer who filed it ?

bump!

I just _have_ to ask: what game was that?

That is Cricket.

...........
Is it possible to have EB2 category and old priority date without refiling new I-140?

No. You need 2 (or more) approved I-140s to port PDs.
