My friend who is currently working for a IT consulting firm has applied for H1B transfer to a direct hire position with a leading healthcare co. He is currently maintaining H1B status, working and getting paid.
He came to US originally on L1B in 2005 and applied for a L1 to H1B transfer (with change of status) which was approved in Oct 2006. The problem - he continued working for the L1B firm till Dec 06 and then joined the H1B employer. At that time, he did not know that he was supposed to start working for H1B employer right from Oct 2006 when the COS was approved. The lawyer who filed the application advised him that it was OK to continue working for the L1B firm till Dec. He has subsequently maintained H1B status at all times and has even travelled out of the country, got H1B stamped etc. without any issue.
Questions:
- Was he out of status for 2 months (Oct to Dec 2006) when he continued working for the L1 firm even after COS approval?
- Could this be a problem for the H1B transfer that has been currently applied for. Does USCIS check only whether the individual is currently maintaining H1B status, or do they go back and look for past periods also to determine status violations?
- Even if USCIS determines he had violated his status, is there any provision (like 245k) which protects him for the current H1B transfer, since the potential out of status period was only 2 months?
Thanks much!!

My attorney send me an email stating that my sister's H1 transfer was filed to WILLISTON, VT. Do they normally send to that address or is it somewhere else?

I've read at the vfs website and also the forums that Returning US Workers are qualified to apply for Emergency appoitment. Has anyone on this forum done this and successfully got visa stamped ? Also is there any document needed to support the emergency or just the fact that we have to return to the job is enough to qualify for this category?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Just more blah, blah, blah.. BTW who is Doraikumar? Is he from IV? He has been quoted here..
Duraikumar was probably just one of the thousands of people who posted on the blog. They cherry picked a few to highlight different aspects of the issue. Bottom line, like you said, just a lot of noise and no real action. Hallmark of this administration. :mad:

Hi Halfdog
I think the intent of the original work (http://vector.tutsplus.com/articles/theory/six-things-i-think-about-when-im-mutating-a-rabbit/) is to educate\inspire others. It is a tutorial. I followed the process the author explains and came up with the idea. I felt is could be better used for T-shirt.
It is a new expression of the underlying idea of the original work, rather than a copying of the work itself.
This is by no means plagiarism as you are accusing.
If the moderators feel that it is the case then it is ok to remove my entry from the competition.

Hi,
My H1 B is valid until 2010 (mar). But considering my entry/exit (I94) dates - I will be completing my 5 years in next 2 months.
My query:
1. Do I have time until 2009 (mar) for filing the Labor?
2. Can I file GC in the 6th year of H1 B, if yes what are the consequences?
Thanks in advance
Yes you ahve time. But don't wait hurry up, we need not get surprised if they change rules even....
Any way for March 2009 you have only 6 months you have so much work to do like paper adds, etc... so... All the best

It is not a bad idea to become a donor. I encourage both of you to become donors.
IV should keep the twitter updates restricted to only DONOR accounts and possibly another twitter account for generic updates.
Disclaimer : I dont have DONOR status
me neither though I have donated quite regularly. Well, it is upto Core to decide what to do- I guess. We can keep posting suggestions.

Hi,
I am on L1 B (Individual) Visa since last three years. In January my company filed for extension, this time on L1 (Blanket). I received RFE in March, which my company replied in April. A couple days before the attorney called us mentioning the petition has been denied and I am awaiting final documentation.
Here are facts:
I am Senior Product Manager with Bachelor's in Computer Science and around 8 years of Experience working with the same Company. 5 years(India Subsidiary) and 3 Years US HQ.
We did mentioned in our RFE that I have the sole knowledge of two products that I represent and that with other things to convince USCIS.
My company is open and willing to appeal against the decision.
Questions: Could it be a reason that Attorney couldn't represent my case well and in that case should I reconsider other Attorney who is specialized in L1 process.
-Can appeal process buy me some time and should I start my H1B process simultaneously?
If yes, is that something which I can do legally.
-How much time can appeal process buy, is it two months, 4 months, 6 months ??
- My wife is on H1 and I do have 10 years B1 visa on my passport. Given those circumstances I do understant that my options for legally staying in US are open but I really want to avoid compromising options and save current working status.
I have been thinking-thinking a lot during last couple days and thus Any help and directions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Manu

Employer needs to stop smoking weed and concentrate on work. Jokes apart there was no such proposal ever in pipeline so there is no way anything like this ever was approved. 6 year limit on H1 is a law that cannot be changed by admin process. It needs to pass house & senate. Also 6 year limit makes lot of people go back to home countries and uncle sam can consume their SS & Medicare taxes.

I think that it was a trial balloon. I have seen this pattern for most of the major issues this administration is planning to tackle. Take TARP for example...for a month one would just hear leaks about proposed solutions. Media would pick it up and give a reaction, the next leak would be an updated version based on the feedback. Such articles help keep the issue in the forefront, help gauge the reaction (both positive and negative) and provide a simple exit to backtrack incase of major opposition. :rolleyes:

Sorry..I have incorrectly named the thread..it suppose to read this way- "Changed Employer (but not informed USCIS), travelling on AP" .
A couple of points : 485 is your property. Its a grey area whether to inform USCIS or not, some advocate it as its a proof and file AC21 and some have different opinion its a personal choice. Regarding using AP I myself dont see an issue. Rest of all are supporting dox. Nice to have supporting documents.
Informing USCIS is nothing but officially filing AC21. Since there are no forms its just a letter indicating AC21.

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.

It is not related to H1B stamping but...
I just wanted to share my experience for my parents visitor visa appointment. I was trying to get appointment in Punjabi at Delhi. I tried it for 3 months but dates were always unavailable. Finally found some guy back in India gave him Rs 2500 and got the appointment in a couple of days....I was surprised at this....I know this is not right way but I had no other option
