You will have to pay again and again and again.
But you have a chance to get 2 year EAD. Thanks to IV for the effort.
Hi needhelp!,
How is that someone who applies in August 07 with a fee of $340 doesnt have to pay for their renewal while I have to pay even though I had applied in 2008 and with the same fee of $340??
It really beats me...well I guess that's USCIS::(((
Can you please point me to any documentation on this?
Thanks

shujaat:
send your all your transcripts to www.wes.org and ask them to evaluate your transcripts. They will confirm whether your education is equivalent to US Education or not.
My wife had a BA (3 years) and BEd (1 year) and after the evaluation, they considered it equivalent to a 4 year US degree with Bachelors degree.
Based on what you said, the lawyer is right, however you can use the EB2 stream using the BS+5 years requirement, rather than the MS requirement.
Hope that helps

Where did you get this info from? source?
140000 ( TOTAL GC ) - 35000 ( LAST YEAR EB1 ) = 105k - (40K) EB3 = 65k - ( 5k EB4 AND EB5 ) = 60k - 25k ( EB2 ROW ) = 35k.
Eb2 India has following pending cases ( Guess ) based on some data from senator and labor data.
10k = 2004
5k = 2005
18k = 2006
25k = 2007
China Eb2 has like below.
4k = 2005
7k = 2006
7k = 2007
So this year they will not just divide between india and china but india will get more share than china. So india will get 25k to reach Mid 2006 and China will get 10k to cover till 2006. or it can stay same as india.

This is my personal opinion. F-1 is strictly non-immigrant VISA. Hence your wife will be out of status once I-485 is filed. So she must convert to dual intent VISA H4 till she gets EAD. Check with an attorney or USCIS if your wife's status is governed by the special protection accorded by US attorney general while she is waiting for EAD. Then it would not be an issue.

Thank you ksrk for your reply on validity of I-94.
I know I become paroled if i enter using AP.
As my H1 extension is pending.. What happens to my H1B status when I return in following scenareos?
1) If H1 approval comes after I arrive
2) If H1 is approved when I am in India.
Thanks
1) If H1 approval comes through after you arrive in the US AND the attached I-94 is dated after your date of entry, then that I-94 becomes effective and you will be on H1B status in the US.
2) Else, the I-94 you receive when you enter the US becomes effective and you will be a parolee.

Hi,
I just got approved for H-1B this year and I have some questions. I'm from a small country where they do not easily let their citizens to become citizens of other counties. So unless it's for educational purpose (undergraduate/graduate), they will not renew my passport for me.
My passport expires at the end of this year, and I was wondering if it's possible to obtain the following with an expired passport:
a) H-1B extension
b) PERM
c) green card
If it's not possible to obtain any of them with an expired passport, I must enroll in a graduate school to renew my passport. (Before my passport expires) I really prefer not to do this.
I would really appreciate if you could reply with cases you've seen or experienced in the past.
Thanks in advance.

goel I know that, I have already done that twice in previous stampings at Canada. Each time I went a day before to the Scotia branch prior to my appointment. What concerns me is this statement.
If you have already scheduled to attend an appointment through NVARS, please pay your MRV fee prior to September 1, 2010
My appointment is for Sept 8. To pay MRV fee prior to Sept 1, I need to be physically in Canada at a Scotia bank branch before Sept 1. Today it is Aug 20, and I still havent gotten my passport back in mail yet with Canadian visa stamped on it. My scheduled arrival in Canada is Sept 7 so I can take care of Scotia bank receipt prior to appointment. But their statement says, the fee needs to be paid prior to Sept 1.
See my point?
Btw this just came out I think yesterday.
Flights from Canada to US are very expensive.The procedure is very simple you can even simply pay the fees some hours before your interview (September 8). Its all good and safe if you have payment receipt with you during interview.

Forget all the middle vendor and lawsuit , nobody will do anything.. In CA if you not aware, there is no legally binding contract that can restrict and employee to work for any employer. Non compete agreements also do not work there, these are just fear tactics. I left my employer and joined the client , and did this 2 times and also that too not even in CA , in other states. Noone did nothing, because it cost time and money and unless there is a 100% chance for the other party to win , they will not get into the lawsuit and stuff as it cost a lot of time and money.
So forget him and also save the middle vendor's number on your phone so next time you can avoid his call.
hi ,
Here is my situation.
(employer) -> (middle vendor ) -> prime vendor -> (End client ).
I am working to a client in california in the above mentioned order. After 1 year we got rid of middle vendor and prime vendor is working with my employer directly . Now middle vendor is threatning me that he can sue me for breaking the line of contract .
i dont understand ho can even its possible as i never signed any document with middle vendor and he is not even my employer . He is just acting as middle layer by showing prime vendor that i am his employee which is wrong. now we removed him from line of contract and he is saying that he will sue all of us for doing this.
is there any way that he can even do this ?
- Thanks in advance.

She will be a new candidate. Her 6 year clock for H status has already started, though. I.e., she only has 4.5 years left.
Don't agree with this. According to a revision some time ago, time in H4 status is no longer counted against H1-B 6 yr limit.

Hi,
I am lost trying to find information on this.
Here's the situation for adding my wife to my I-485 application (we are from India). We DO have her 100% correct birth certificate we got issued last month.
However, since the issue date on it is April 2011, our lawyer insists that we need affidavits from her parents as well (perhaps to avoid RFEs). Further the lawyer insists that the Foreign Affairs Manual for India states that these be sworn in front of a first class magistrate of India.
When her parents went to the local court and request the first class magistrate, the court officer is demanding that we have a sealed copy of the requesting authority (USCIS) that clearly states that a first class magistrate's signature is required!
Questions:
(i) Is the affidavit supposed to be sworn in front of first class magistrate? Even if we have a corrected birth certificate?? Or can it be signed by an 'Executive Magistrate' or maybe even just notarized??
(ii) If yes, did someone else face a similar issue?
(iii) If yes, is there a USCIS document I could send to satisfy their demand?
I did try to find a USCIS document but all it states is that ... IF the birth certificate is unavailable ... then "sworn affidavits" need to accompany non-availability certificate from a competent local government authority.
Please advise :(
PS: FYI, they went to the Palghar court in Maharashtra, India.
The rule is
If you dont have a birth certificate
- You need affidavites from both parents
If you have a birth certificate issued after 1 year of date of birth
- You need affidavites from both parents
If you have a birth certificate issued within 1 year of date of birth
- You do not need affidavites
Dont worry i applied for birth certificate in 2005 in india and submitted that along with affidavites from parents and the documents were accepted

I agree with sri1309. This is very very scary time. We need a special attention right now. Right now no one is sure that he will have his job tomorrow.
We need to send a letter to Obama, Homeland Security Secretary and Ombudsman. Someone can take a lead to prepare a letter and that letter should be approved by IV.
It is really important for us to take a decison by IV core because this is really a very bad time.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Friends,
While filing I 131, I came across this information
"{If you are in the United States and wish to travel abroad, you do not need to apply for advance parole if both conditions described below in A and B are met:
A. You are in one of the following nonimmigrant categories:
1. An H-1, temporary worker, or H-4, spouse, or child of an H-1; or
2. An L-1, intracompany transferee, or L-2, spouse or child of an L-1; or
3. A K-3, spouse, or K-4, child of a U.S. citizen; or
4. A V-2, spouse, or V-3, child of a lawful permanent resident; and
B. A Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, was filed on your behalf and is pending with USCIS.
However, upon returning to the United States, you must present your valid H, L, K, or V nonimmigrant visa and continue to remain eligible for that status}"
My 797 petition is approved till 2011 but my H1B visa is not stamped. I am planning India trip in November. What would be appropriate for me..
Should I get H1B stamped in Mexico / Canada / India
OR
Should I apply for AP.
I have heard that after applying AP we should really not leave the country until decision has been made on AP application. I fear if I apply for AP now, probably it would not be approved by first week of November.
I don't know what to do. Any help pls..
Thanks

Thanks all.
1) While filing AP online it asks if I want to add more filings. I want to add my wife's I-131 as well. Also my wife is a derivative beneficiary of my pending 485. So, my question is should my wife and my AP supporting documents be mailed in the same packet, even though I will
create 2 separate files in the same packet. Please advise. Else, how will they know that my wife's AP renewal is linked to mine.
2) There is a section which asks for the data of Intended departure. In paper based filing i would type unknown at present time. But in e-file, i cant type that in the date field. Can I leave this field and the length of stay blank ?
3) Part 7 Info for me asks only if my trip is for single entry or multiple entry. It does not ask for any supplemental Info. What is this supplemental info people talk about ?
__________________________________________________ _
1. Make 2 sets of documents and send them separately. They would know because you would send a copy of I 485 petition of your wife as well in her packet.
2. You can put some future date in there.
3. It will be multiple entry. You have to write some thing describing the need for this AP.
I hope it helps.
