Do you need a valid H-1B status if your H-1B stamp has expired. I don't have any H-1B stamp on my passport and my H-1B status (I-797) will expire on February 14th, 2008. I will then switch to EAD. I am traveling on Feb 23rds, 2008 (Chicago->JFK->Dubai-Pakistan).
So, do i still need a valid H-1B status even though, i will be traveling back on AP?
No you don't need. Whatever Rtarar said - thats what you need

I am posting this on behalf of my cousin who is stuck in India pending stamping. He went to Mumbai consulate for H1 B stamping on Apr 29th. He was asked for further evidence about his employer and his employer's payroll details for all employees etc. After much confusion created by the consulate, the details were provided by his employer and by him (sealed copies) as well. He has visited the consulate 3 times and VFS office couple of times and was told your passport will be returned in couple of days but till date he has not received it.
He also has his AOS application pending with USCIS with his wife as the primary applicant. He has a valid EAD card and AP (which needs renewal). It's been a really long time he had to spend away from his family. He has certain questions he would like to get clarified,
1. How long can it take for 221g pending case to clear? I have submitted my passport to consulate on 10th Jun.
2. Can I write consulate a hand written mail (not an email) asking for passport saying that I want to travel on travel doc as I'm away from my wife for 8,9 months.
3. Can I ask consulate to return my passport without H1 stamping for renewal of Travel Document (AP)?
4. Can I travel on my travel doc (AP) after asking my passport back without any problem at the port of entry?
5. After asking for my passport back will it affect the renewal of my travel document (AP)?
Thanks a lot!

Please share your experience, if any one come across this situation
I think you can us AP. I did not go for stamping but based on my I-485 filing I know that my case is pending on name check and I came to US using AP so I think you can also come back using AP.

H1 processing for 2nd time : First 6 yrs on H1 over!
My 6 yrs of stay on H1 gets over in November 2007. I have not applied for GC. I know that I need to stay outside the US for a period of 1 year before starting a new H1. I will be going back to my country in November.
Can I find a company which will apply for H1 for me in April 2008 and enter US in Nov.2008 (after I complete 1 year stay outside the US)?
Am I eligible to apply immediately in April 2008? Or do I need to complete 1 yr of stay outside the US before even applying for a fresh H1?
When will I be able to enter the US : after Nov.2008 or Oct.2009.
Any inputs in this regard will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am on At Will Employment, employer laid off on April 30 2009. I had seen in discussions, if employer laid off we an ask him for Return Flight Tickets. I need to confirm because i was on At Will Employment.
Plz reply me soon
Thanks
If you were on H1B
1. the employer has to provide you one way return ticket to your actual destination. this is the law.
If this can be done,
1. Tell your employer to give you one month vacation and keep you on the payroll. In that case, you can start applying for a job and if you get a job you should be saved. You would have to call employers rather than depending on rectruiters
2. If possible change to F1 visa,
3. Promptly apply for canadian immigration and move to canada, since you were in US in H1B there are high chances you would get a canadian PR within 6-8 months.
4. At least complete the FBI clearance when you are at US to apply for canadian PR.
5. Check for other oppurnities.
However,
1. Describe your skillset and the nature of work. Maybe someone from IV would help you.
2. Ask for help if you need something. Most of the IV members i got in touch are really helpful. In turn i have helped few of them.

Hello, I'm Hyoung and I'm graduate student at Purdue University.
I handed in my paperworks to extend my I-20 before more than 2 weeks ago that is expired. But recommendation reason that my academic advisor wrote was not appropriate and that was "Keep studying Ph.D". I am planning to graduate my masters in August. And I-20 is expired on May/16.
Actually, I was notified that issue 5 working days before from ISS in my school that the reason is not appropriate and handed in a new recommendation form one day after when my I-20 expired.
At this case, do I need to follow applying procedure for a reinstatement with application fee $300?
I'm so depressed because I did everything that I could do to prevent this problem. But whenever I email to ISS of the school, the answer was that I should finish my masters within May/16 that is impossible for me. And Finally, they emailed me that I need to apply reinstatement now.
If there is some tips to resolve this issue that you can tell me, could you let me know?
Thank you so much
Regards
You need to follow what your school's ISS is asking you to do. If your concern is the $300, and if you believe that ISS was at fault for not notifying you earlier, etc., then you can bring that up with someone at ISS and ask them to waive the fee.

Its alright most of the time USCIS looks for last year or last 2 years tax return. I think W-2 is good enough to prove that you are eligible for Tax return.
Hi everyone,
I have 2004 W2 but cant seem to find my tax return. I have 2003, 2005, 2006tax returns but not 2004. What can I do to get that return. Please any advice will be appreciated.

I guess EAD is personal property not employer property. I had filled my I-485, EAD and AP and my employer does not even know it. On top of it i had completed 180 days and moving to another job.
Are you in H1B or EAD. If in EAD you have to renew it yourself the employer has nothing on your EAD.
I am seeing lots of people change their jobs once 180 days expire...Just trying to get an idea whether people mostly use H1 transfer or do they start using EAD? Does changing a job while 485 is in progress always triggers an RFE/interview?

I would like to see this kind of report in front page of WSJ and NY times.
I like the below points from the report.
- There is no evidence that during the long periods of time when no foreign
nationals could receive new H-1B petitions the job market improved for U.S. workers or professionals.
- The March 2009 findings from Duke University and University of California, Berkeley researchers send a signal that America cannot take it for granted that outstanding international students, researchers and professionals from around the world will always want to stay and work in the United States.
- The relaxation of green card constraints proposed in the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 could have increased labor earnings and GDP by approximately $34 billion in the tenth year following enactment and had a net positive effect on the budget of $34 to $47 billion over ten years.
- Relaxation of H-1B caps under the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 could have increased labor earnings and GDP by $60 billion in the tenth year following enactment and improved the federal budget�s bottom line by $64 to $86 billion over ten years.�
- �Over the past 15 years, immigrants have started 25 percent of U.S. public companies that were venture-backed, a high percentage of the most innovative companies in America . . . The largest U.S. venture-backed public companies started by immigrants include Intel, Solectron, Sanmina-SCI, Sun Microsystems, eBay, Yahoo!, and Google.
- we estimate that all companies founded by immigrants from 1995 to 2005 produced $52 billion in sales and employed 450,000 workers in 2005,�

Thanks

A receipt of notice is generated immediately. As soon as your application reaches the USCIS ofice they generate the receipt of notice and post mail it to the attorney. It takes 2-3 days for the mail to reach your attorney so we can assume that the total time to get the receipt of notice from the day it was filed should not be greater than 4-5 days.

Thanks beuhler.
Yes, I have been residing in the US for several years now. I was not sure if the consular districts are determined based on the state of current residence or based on the state of my permanent address in India or state that issued my passport. After reading your reply, I looked up what the embassy "loosely" defines consular district as at :
http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/nivconsdist.html
So it does state that US residents can apply for the NIV at any of the four consulates. So does this mean that their emergency appointment requirement of being from the New Delhi consular districts applies only to residents of India and not residents in the US ? This seems subject to interpretation.
In your case, was it an emergency appointment or a regular one ?
Thanks.

Yeah was a real eye opener, this one. Makes u wonder sometimes, whether we are really welcome in this country or not. More importantly, will we ever be REALLY accepted as part of the "American culture". These organizations are open about their "feelings" toward immigrants. There are a Whole lot more people who may not be so open about their thoughts, but still have them nonetheless.
But worry not, we are equally thick skinned. Green Card to Lekar hi rahenge :)

Foreign nationals may obtain their green cards by marriage through a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR). If the marriage is less than two years old at the time residence is granted, the foreign national will receive conditional resident status. The actual conditional residence card will have a two year validity date. Individuals who obtained their resident status based on a marriage less than two years are required to file Form I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions 90 days prior to the expiration date on the conditional residence card. Once the conditions are removed, the conditional resident status becomes permanent.
The petition to remove conditions should be accompanied with evidence establishing the validity of the marriage since being granted conditional resident status. Supporting documentation of a valid marriage may include:
· Birth certificates of children,
· a copy of the rent/apartment lease,
· mortgage payments,
· joint filing of tax returns,
· utility bills evidencing both names,
· copies of pictures,
· itineraries or boarding passes,
· insurance coverage listing both names,
· joint bank accounts,
· driver’s licenses evidencing both names,
· letters from family regarding knowledge of the marriage (including envelopes with postmarks),
· receipts for items purchased together (ie: furniture),
· cards written to both for a holiday, birthday, anniversary.
Other documents accompanying the Form I-751 include:
· A copy of the conditional residence card,
· Two passport style photos for the applicant,
· A certified copy of any arrest record and disposition of the case (for individuals who have been arrested or detained),
· A money order payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the amount of $545 for filing fees.
Kraft & Associates will answer your questions on conditional resident status and permanent residence. Call us at 214-999-9999.
