Hello all,
Form I-693 downloading from the following site is valid until 6/30/07.
Is it ok to use this form though we will be filing the I-485 on 07/01/07.
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-693.pdf.
As long as you get your medicals done before 6/30/07 you should be fine.

In my case, I got it directly via DHL sent by USCIS. My attorney did not receive my AP.

OPT starts June 2011
H-1b approved starts Oct 2011
Job starts August 2011 (cannot work remotely and not more than 1 month leave)
Name starts with a common Muslim name 'M-'
Parents frequently come to the US but I may need to travel to Pakistan for emergencies or perhaps to get married. Should I go to Pakistan or Canada for H-1b stamping or is too risky with the lengthy administrative processing (221-g)?

Hello,
I have read in the popular immigration forums that one can request a one time 3 year extension to H1b beyond the standard 6 year limit if one has an approved I140 and could not file I485 due to retrogression. I am confused on how does one go about requesting this..meaning is it sufficient to just put three years under the 'date of intended employment' in I129 form and have a labor condition approval with similar dates or do you have to include a copy of approved I140 and point to the 2005 Aytes memo that grants such a provision while you file for I129. By the way the situation is also a bit more complicated due to the fact that I am changing jobs (5th year H1) and trying to get a 3 year transfer based on approval from the company I am leaving.
Appreciate your inputs

This Unique Id is good for everyone, T.N.Seshan was recommending this way back in 1988. but the Present Ruling party at that time never agreed because they cannot do hacking polling booths but now it is all very easy.. Guess what.... the EVM electronic voting machines! get rid of that first go back to ballot papers, see who wins and who looses and how people of India are enlightened about the politics. Do they really ahve the guts to do that??

I'm presently on H4 in US and have got the H1B visa approval(Mostly I would get the I94 and wouldn't require stamping unless i leave USA) . Due to personal reasons I need to travel to India planning to go to India.
I would like to get the visa stamped in Tijuana before I go to India.
I have not yet started working with my employer.Infact I did not get my H1B approval papers yet nor have SSN till now.(approval of H1B is on Oct 16th 2007)
Since October has been crossed and i dont have a paystub(since my approval is late) my question is are there problem if the consulate officer asks about why i have come for stamping even before starting the job (since i have 194) and what if he asks for paystubs as iam going after october 1st.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks in Adv

Does someone with more experience than me have an estimation (I'd say one month)? Sorry, but I'm starting to get anxious that if I file April 2nd and not April 1st I could end up in trouble.

Guys,
Here how it goes, one of my friends visa date got current in June 2007. He applied for his I-140 and I-485. For some strange and unknown reason to me , he did not file I-485 for his wife who is on H4 and thought that he will file later once he gets his receipt. Now he has his receipt and was getting ready to file the i-485 for his wife it dawned on him that dates are retrogressed again and the lawyer told him that he cannot file I-485 for his wife. Now the situation is that he has to wait until the dates get current, but what if they dont and he gets his green and his wife dont which will automatically make his wife out of status and she has to go back and you all know how hard it is to sponsor on green card.
My question is that, is this the true statement that he cannot file I-485 for his wife due to retrogression since his wife is dependent and should be able to file since his dates were current?
If this statement is true what are the available options
Thanks
Rbashir

Hi,
My I-140 was approved in May and I am still waiting for I-485 approval. I filed in August 2007 concurrently and my Priority Date is June 2004.
I thought that concurrent filing will also mean concurrent approval, but may be this is not the case. Otherwise should I call NSC and ask them about it (whats the best way to call them ?)
Thanks

Hi: Need some inputs from the excperts in this group on using the priority dates from a different I140 filing.
Have the following 2 cases filed for the same person.
PD - Nov 2004 - EB3 - Labor Approved - I140 Filed
PD - Oct/Nov 2005 - EB2 - Labor Approved - I140 Approved
If we file I485 based on the I140 approved for EB2 case [which has a later PD], can we still send an update to USCIS later regarding Nov 2005 PD and use that PD once the I140 from the EB3 filing is approved? What's the best way to use the highest EB category and oldest PD in this case?
Thanks,
Sirisha

Senators Schumer and Graham presented a three page outline of their reform proposal when they met earlier this week. The Los Angeles Times gave a few hints in an article that appeared yesterday: Although details of their blueprint were not released, Graham said the elements included tougher border security, a program to admit temporary immigrant workers and a biometric Social Security card that would prevent people here illegally from getting jobs. Graham also said the proposal included "a rational plan to deal with the millions of illegal immigrants already in the United States." He did not elaborate on what the...

Given the Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad�s immigration history, the common refrain of �let�s just close our borders to all immigrants� is (not surprisingly) becoming more vocal. After all, as the argument goes, if someone like Shahzad (who apparently is not one of the �best and brightest�) is able to obtain a student visa, then an H-1B �specialty occupation� work visa, a green card, and the ultimate prize of U.S. citizenship � all in a span of less than 8 years -- then perhaps we need to take a step back, take a deep breath and just close our borders...

Hi,
Apologies if this is a repeat question:
I have extended my H1B (approval received) but my visa stamp expires in June 06. I have EAD (not using it) and plan to apply for AP. If I travel outside the country (with AP, of course), do I need to get a new HIB visa stamp to reenter? Can I show my AP, and 485 pending papers to come in as a parolee and still retain my H1B? Or my H1B status will get cancelled if I use AP?
I hear conflicting opinions from different people and I don't when I would be need to travel to India for family reasons. If anybody has been in a similar situation, please let me know your experience.

My wife works for a University on her CPT. The University received a prevailing wage for her for her H-1B from the state agency on December 31, 2009 and it is still valid.
1. So when the University files for the LCA, can they use the prevailing wage from the state agency or do they have to use I-CERT for prevailing wage (ETA Form 9141)? Can the University use any other source for prevailing wage?
2. How long it is taking now to get the LCA certified?
Thanks.

Hello All,
I am in my 10th year of H1B visa. (GC in process). Every other time I went to INDIA , I got my stamping in INDIA except in 2009 when I returned on Advanced Parole because of a lack of time. Now I need to go to INDIA again in July and I observed this condition for visa stamping at INDIAN consulates which is :
Have the same class of U.S. visa which is still valid or that has expired less than 12 months from the scheduled date of interview.
Wish to apply for the same visa class (e.g. had an H1 work visa, now applying again for an H1 work visa)
My question is whether my last entry to US on Advanced Parole will be interpreted as not having the same class of VISA. After I entered on AP , I did renew my H1 Visa and it is valid upto April'2011.
Thanks in advance

A few weeks ago, I posted a story written by one of our clients, a Registered Nurse from the Philippines employed by a hospital in the U.S., who was stopped and held by CBP officers as she and her family tried to drive north from their home in El Centro, California near the U.S.-Mexican border to Palm Springs to celebrate her husband's birthday. The entire family had pending applications for adjustment of status, but in a bizarre twist of fate, they were held by the CBP all day and threatened with criminal charges, incarceration and deportation. Here is the story...
