Hi All,
I got my COS from H4 to F1 approved in first semester itself (Fed-2010), now my questions is I don�t have plans for going to India in next couple of years so after completing my masters can I apply for OPT without having the F1 Visa stamping OR should I have to get F1 Visa stamping in India in order to get the OPT after my masters.

Like many others we have been waiting for our AOS application to be approved for over 2 years. But the strange thing is, I did get an EAD approved but they never called me in for fingerprinting and Biometrics. I know I had to do the non-immigration "registration" that was initiated a few years ago and they had taken my fingerprints and biometrics, is that why they didn't call me in again? since they already have it?

Hi
My wife is on H4 visa.She got an offer from Non profit organization and they are ready to do H1B.As it is Non profit Organization is that correct she can start working as soon as H1B is approved.
Is it possible to Transfer H1b in future to regular company if H1B quota exists.
Are there any restrictions involved.
Can any one please shed some light for me.

In case of death: None, unless enough points are there and a child less than 16 years or non working spouse over 60 years.
I was trying to intrepret social security benefits at www.ssa.gov.
It reminded me, what my wife's doctor told us 3-4 years ago (my wife is with the same doctor for the last 6-7 years) � some people in US want to have a child born, when they are getting old � it took me 3-4 years to understand.
Here is story - My wife take X class of medicines due to diabetes (I think this means medicines can adversly harm growth of a child during pregnency). So doctor was trying to explain, whenever we want to have child what precaution we have to take and how they help in this type of situations. We asked doctor- how could we think of having another baby, when our kids are grown up, one finished MS, the other one is doing BS. Doctor�s reply was that some people in US want to have a child born, when they are getting old � there are reasons.
After interpreting SSA pages, I think, now I understand economic part of having child in old ages. If Mr A has accumulated enough social security points, Mr. A�s wife is not working, she is of 44 years and she becomes mother, this child is like insurance. If case of death of Mr. A, wife of Mr. A and Child of Mr. A will keep on getting social security benefits (this is up to 16 years). At the age of 60 (minimum age, when one can get Social Security benefits), Mr A�s wife can start getting her own Social Security benefits.
Getting term (life) insurance is not possible without GC. Three agents tried to help me at different times, they did not succeed � perhaps US lawas are like that. Thinking negatively getting GC may be long wait 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, even 30 years.
Just wondering, is it a common practice to have a child born in old ages as an insurance? Whether H1B people and people at GC path are aware of it?
For me this interpration is a learning and wanted to share it.

I have been following IV ever since itz inception and I really appreciate all the efforts by volunters.
However, I feel we have up-hill battle in this current political and economical situation and we need to re-think about startergies and solving current retrogession.
I just want initiate brainstorm, I am not sure if these ideas are discussed before,
Having seen how CIR bill is killed in House, I am very doubtfull about SKILL bill getting passed in house.
getting any pro-immigration (legal/illegal) is a long processes, so can we need to focus on what we can do to reduce the retrogression within current legal framework
like
lobby senators to enforce USICS on following
- Reduce time taken for Security Checks
- Try to consider 245i cases in a different catagory than EB3
- Try recapture unused visa numbers from 2003-04-05
- issue EAD/AP for three years
- remvoe per country quota
- allow to apply for I485 if I140 is approved, ( I know this is controvesial but we can try)
These simple things could reduce retrogression if not completly resolved

I thought this was funny and had to post this link :D.
You now protest when other countries make it difficult for you to get a visa.
US, UK protest as India gets tough on visas - India - The Times of India (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/US-UK-protest-as-India-gets-tough-on-visas/articleshow/5367548.cms)
I think it works well from both angles (visitor, citizen of India) after the new rules. I am not sure why people were allowed to enter on travel visas if they were clearly coming for business.

Hello everyone,
Please shed some light on this
I am going to a different Application Support Center than the one in my notice.
I am trying to locate the Application Support Center (ASC) close to where I live. Is there any information about the location of all the ASCs through out the country in the USCIS site?
If no how should I find/locate the nearest ASC to where I live?
The address of the ASC in my notice is in a different place. I want to go to the one that is near to where I live.
Thanks in Advance

Hi all,
This is for my friend who got his 3 year H1- B extension recently.
He planned to visit India for stamping and already booked the air ticket + consulate appointment.
But the Visa validity start date in his I-797A is incorrect. He joined this company only in 2006 but the start date shown in I-797A is sometime in 2001.
Though the END date is correct, Is it going to cause any problem in his Visa stamping?
He got only 2 weeks to fly and skeptical about the turnaround timeframe to file for correction.
His lawyer says it is a very minor problem and will not affect the visa stamping.
Please share any similar experiences / ideas.
Thanks a lot

I am not familiar with the for I 130. But I can answer about 485:
Your non-immigrant visa number is the "number in red" (usually only number in red) on visa stamp that is usually in bottom right corner.
Did you find it??

4) Once you get 3 year H1B extension i.e. after Jan08, there are legal ways to tranfer H1B to a new company for the remaining duration but this MUST be discussed throughly with an imigration lawyer as it can be risky and very case dependent.
Remember an employer might try to revoke the I140 in an effort to regain the underlying LC for some other employee, although a retro'ed EB3 might not be too juicy a carot for anyone nowadays.
This may not be that difficult as you sounded. My understanding (ofcourse I am not a lawyer got to this conclusion based on my reading various posts and lawyer responses to my own and other queries) is that once you get three year extension based on approved I140, you are good to transfer. What happens if the previous employer withdraws your approved I140 - thats a grey area but most people suggest that it does not affect "H1B" status; it might affect I485 (if its applied with I140 concurrently). To be in safe side after moving to the new company immediately apply PERM/I-140.
Also I think you can do the transfer before getting the extension, basically if you get an offer from a new employer you can apply for transfer+extension at the same time if you time it right.
Let me know if my understanding is not right above.

Hi,
I am on H1B visa staying in Missouri state and my employer location is the same county. I recently got a project outside Missouri and client worksite is in Arizona. I am expected to travel Monday to Thursday from Missouri to client worksite but not required to move to Arizona. In this case where I am travelling does my employer need to file for LCA amendment? I have come across posts that if you move to a new worksite you might need LCA amendment but not sure in this case where I am travelling every week.
Your quick response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

1) Since I140 never required the PD to be current how can one explain the backlog on I140 applications? They used to premium process those it in one month.
2) If 180 days pass since the I485 receipt date but I140 is not yet approved can one use AC21 safely?
(I understand the risk of having the I140 denied and being out of status. But aside of that... )
My understanding that the H1B cannot be ported once you have I140 pending without having to redo your I140 and I485.
The lawyers that created those laws must have been on something ...
Thanks
Caution: You are taking Risk!
Based on Yates memo ( you can google for this), a person with pending I-140
and I-485 pending for more than 180 days can invoke AC21 provided I-140 is approvable at the time of using AC21. Approvable meaning, if they take up your 140 during AC21, it should be in a position to be approved without RFE's.
There was a link on Ron's site where he said
1> if you don't have to worry about ability 2 pay issue, meaning, your company is big
AND
2> you don't have to justify your qualifications for your EB category. Say, a three year degree and some diploma/certification for EB3 and four year degree and questionable experience for EB2 or a four year degree with diploma/cert that qualifies as masters...Especially Eb2 you have to be careful...Since most jobs doesnt require Eb2 but people apply thru that because they have masters or Bachelors plus five....Don't get me wrong on this...I've seen people in EB2 category doing QA testing. I agree, there are many EB2 that do advanced work....and not just software application development/management.
If the above two are good, the chances of RFE on I-140 is slim.
Even if there is one, your old company should co-operate...I believe that is where the risk is....
