My H1B was refused under section 221(g) (petitioner is not able or willing to provide employment....) and case has reached USCIS for review. The lawyers however are asking me to travel on H4 and then convert to H1 in US and they say this can be done in 2 weeks. I am so very skeptical about this! How is this even possible?
Their response is that i have an H1B from earlier quota, so i can get a new petition filed and start working on it once its approved.How come people dont do this if its valid?
My questions if anybody can help me are
1) Can i go on H4 visa without revoking my H1B petition which is under review with USCIS? Or will consulate ask me to revoke my H1B petition?
2) If i go on H4, can i really get a COS to H1 in US i.e. not the April 2011 quota but in the already assigned quota and i can start working within a few days of approval?

Hello All,
I've been reading a lot on these forums about guys asking where to send 485 applications to. While my I-140 got approved from Texas center (originally filed at Nebraska center) , my lawyer still sent my 485 application to Nebraska center. I think, he has made a correct decision since, 485 form mentions that all employment based applications should be sent to Nebraska center. Please correct me If I am mistaken.
Secondly, the application fee can be in the form of personal check made payable to USCIS or Department of Homeland security. I've made checks payable to USCIS - does any one know if the check has to say "USCIS" or should it say "United States Citizenship and Immigration Services"? I would think just "USCIS" would suffice.
Any light shed on these two points would be greatly appreciated...

Hello
I'm A medical student who has come to do a 1 month internship(Clinical Elective) at a University on a F-1 visa valid till mid may 2009 .My internship here ends at the end of march. I have also 2 internships(cliinical electives) scheduled for the month of May and June as well at ANother University . The main problem is that the other univ require me to be on a B-1 and not on a F-1 . My present school has called them and requested them but they rejected the plea. They want me on B-1 . Now my question is that "Can I change my status from a F-1 to a B-1 while in US" - I have a valid visa which is not yet expired .
It would be appreciated if u can tell me about the forms that I shall need to fill in for the same ? Do I need to hire an attorney for it ?
Please rply
Thanks a million

my company have applied for H1-B & H4 extension for myself and my wife. My wife now is looking to go for work and has got an offer from a company. The company will be doing a premium processing of my wife's H1-B and it is expected to be approved in 2 weeks. my wife has already held H1 status before, so she doesn't fall undr the cap. If my wife's H4 comes thru later, what status will she hold?
thanks

I am traveling to India after long time. The airline reservation requires me to provide my green card number. Can anyone tell me what that is? Is it A# number?
I tried entering the 9 digits of A# number on the airline website without a success, what is a right syntax?
AXXX-XXX-XXX or XXXXXXXXX without using �-�
I don�t want to submit wrong information.
Also, is it possible to provide this information at Check-In and not to worry about it now?
If anyone has done this before then let me know, any help is appreciated.

I would appreciate some feedback on following situation;
1) My wife is on H4/EAD. She is beneficiary of my AOS application. She holds Master's Degree from US. What is the best option for her to work on?
2) She was on H1B from Oct 2001 to Mar 2003. She COS to H4 after her job terminated with-in weeks. Since then she's been in US (on H4) and never been out for more than couple of months. Can she apply for H1B and not limited to H1B quota and wait till Oct?
3) Would changing to H1B abondon her AOS?
4) Can she work on EAD now and switch to H1B around Oct time if she has to apply for fresh H1B for next yr quota.
4) If she can get H1B, can she still use AP for travel?
6) If i loose job or my 485 is denied, isn't it better she has H1B so i can get on H4 or on her GC application.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have applied for my I140 under EB2, I have a question regarding a gab between my employments. I worked for a company A from Dec 2005 to Feb 2007 and then I switched employers, and I was between projects. The next company I started working for gave me an offer letter only when I found a project (May 2007). So technically there is a 2 month gap. Even the experience letters from that company says I have started work from May 2007.
I'm not sure if this will cause a problem in my I140 stage. Kindly advice.
I have changed two companies after that and I'm filing my GC through the current company. Any response will be much appreciated.

Hi Guru's .
I got a soft LUD on my 485 on 06/03/08 and same on my wife's 485. I am the principle applicant. I called Customer service center and they said the only update they see is that I have updated my address on file in January or 2008. I asked her what could be the reason for LUD on my case to that she replied that since the NSC processing date is past my filing date she can create a Service Request for me. I have done that but I am still concerned what the cause of this LUD is . Does anyone know why there would be a soft LUD.
MY priority date 02/13/03 is current now. Sorry I dont have other details of my case.
Thanks

USCIS does not give a damn they are a govt agency that sift through paper very slowly every day. What makes you think they have a conscience and they will suddenly feel bad for you?

Chiraj - read the following from the UK Home Office Visa web site
Transit (INF 20) (http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/infs/inf20transit)
seems to say that as long as you have a valid visa (which a greencard is a physical manifestation of an immigrant visa) then you should be ok.
Assuming your son is a US Citizen - he won't need one either.
hope that helps

I-140 is employer's petition, so your tax returns are unnecessary. For information sake please check this link (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=4a5a4154d7b3d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=7d316c0b4c3bf110VgnVCM1000004718190a RCRD) for details.

You should be able to contiue your GC without interruption even if you did not work for the sponsoring employer. but just make sure you are employed with the sponsoring employer before filing for I-485.
You may need a new H1 to go back to the previous employer. But GC should not be affected.

39 baht to the dollar! when did that happen?!!!
(JK, I was in Thailand back in '76 and it was I think 23 to $1)
It was an interesting place to celebrate turning 21 with your best friend.....
It was around 50.... such is the demise of the US dollar.....
