Hi All
I did paper based filing through lawyer on may 5 with check $340 has been encashed and I waited now 2 weeks but still there is no receipt notice in mail.
SO i called my bank and ask them whether there any receipt number on the back of check but agent told me that there are no 13 digit number just bank stamp and there is only one 9 digit number that he has given me but on the case status thats a invalid number
Please help as I am worried that if evry thing is fine or should I e-file as well as my licence is also expiring next month now how should get a reciept number
Thanks in Advance...
if you efile ..you will end up paying $340 again. when is yr EAD expiring and why did you wait so long ?? if you think the lawyer filled everything correctly then I would say wait for a week (consult yr lawyer too) !!

Sir,
I have extended my H1b visa in Sept. 2010. I appeared for interview in New Delhi and submitted my Passport on 20th of April 2011 and today is 23rd of May 2011. What do you think that how much more time can they take?
Regards

Please find below my case details:
i.Started on L1A in Dec 2001
ii.Applied for a new H1 in June 2005 with start date as Oct 1,2005(New H1 application) : Came to US on H1 in Mar 2006 with "I 94 and Petition End Date(PED)" as Dec 2007.
iii.Since Dec 2001 till Mar 2006, have been in India for totalling 10 months (2.5 months in 2003, 1.5 months 2004, 6 months during 2005-2006).
With the assumption that I can recapture the time spent outside US (10 months), the six year clock ends in Oct 2008. If so, to get 7th year extension
would it work as long as the Labour is filed before Oct 2007.
Am I correct in this assessment or does the 6 year clock indeed ends in "Dec 2007" (as in my I94/PED) and I should have the Labour filed before Dec 2006.
Any thoughts? Appreciate your comments.
Thanks very much in advance.
you have enough time to get started with your labor. earlier the better. have your company start your labor in a couple of months so that do dont have to worry about all the nitty gritties of recapture of time. yes one can recapture the time with a petition. less legal work is less money paid and less headache in my opinion.

You are not the primary, right? Your job has nothing to do with the GC case. So you can do whatever regarding your job.

Friends;
My EB3 AOS was filed in July, 2007.
I have a valid H1 upto July, 2010 and my EAD expires September, 2010.
My wife and daughter have valid H4 upto July, 2010 and their EAD expires September, 2010. Both have used EAD.
APs are expiring in July 2010 for all of us.
My employer has filed for H1 extension.
I have couple of questions regarding my family�s statuses;
1. If my wife and daughter do not want to renew their EADs/APs (or renewal gets delayed beyond September, 2010), what is their legal status in US as they don�t have a valid I-94?
2. As they already used EADs, I think they are not eligible for H4 filing. Can someone confirm?
3. Does anyone have experience of renewing Driving license without EAD or H4 during AOS?
Thanks
Venu

I'm new here and hope this is posted in the right forum.
I got my ASC Appointment Notice ( case type: I 90 Application to Replace Alien Registration Card) and need to show up to the Milwaukee USCIS office this Friday at 8a.m. for photo ID, biometrics, etc.
Problem is, the USCIS website says the office is closed on Fridays. Other websites say the office is open on Fridays (but they were updated over a year ago), and an immigration attorney website says the office is open Fridays but only until 12.
What to do?
I have to drive three hours just to get there . Do I go anyways and risk it?
The 1800 telephone numbers are no help and any local phone number is useless.
Anybody have suggestions or similar experience. Thanks. JAFO.

I havn't gotten mine yet. Filed on Sept 11th at VSC. Check seems to have cleared though -according to the Attorney. However I guess the delay in my case is the exception rather than the rule.
Funny thing is that we got the approval notice today! No receipt notice though.

Let's hope that it means the next offering from Canon comes in at about that same price point (about USD$2000). Maybe they (Kodak) know something?
More likely it a natural fallout of their recent announcements regarding their positioning (or non positioning) as a camera maker.

Guys:
I wanted to know that if somebody has currently an approved LC and I-140(EB-3) with Company A and decided to change jobs to Company B, who would now file under EB-2.
a) Can he hold on to his EB3 priority date..though the new petition would be filed under EB-2 ?
Yes, I know a lot of ppl have asked this question in the wake of the retrogession that we are all sufferning through ?
b) If this Company B were to file for H1-B , as I understand it would count towards the 2007-2008 quota which opens on April 1st '07...does this scenario also force you to not start working till Oct'07 (which is when ppl who file in the 2007-08 quota are supposed to start working).
What I am trying to understand is that in this scenario can you change jobs and start to work for Company B without having to wait till Oct'07 ?
Thanks

i have read some place in this forum that as long as you maintain your full time primary job you are entitled to use your ead for other smaller assignments without losing your H1 status. But then again I am not a lawyer just sharing what I have read.

It is possible this can occur, but rare, A while back there was an article @ Murthy's website on this. They have to check with their Attorney to ensure there is no other issue in future. It depends on when the application was adjucated, whether prior to retrogression or not. The communication can be at a later date

Silicon Valley Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
A quick review of the list of largest H-1B (http://www.geelaw.com/lawyer-attorney-1054805.html)users for FY 2009 shows high tech and Silicon Valley topping the list. The top users of the H-1B program for 2009 included multi-national technology companies headquartered, and with branch offices in Silicon Valley. Wipro tops the list with 1,964 new H-1B visas. Microsoft is second with 1318, but then Intel Corp has a big drop off at 723 H-1B's The list of Silicon Valley companies continues, including Infosys Technologies (440), Qualcomm (320), Cisco (308), Oracle (272), Google (211), Yahoo (183), Apple (168), Nvidia (130), and Hewlett Packard (115). While there is no way to know whether these companies sponsored employees located in Silicon Valley, as opposed to another office location, it is clear that high-tech and Silicon Valley are standouts on the list of H-1B employers.
Those who assume the H-1B is a tool used primarily by IT companies may be surprised to see the number of prestigious universities and medical facilities also nearing the top of the list. H-1B visas are work visas for professional workers who typically require at least a Bachelor's degree for entry into their profession. This includes teachers, professors, doctors, and scientists in addition to engineers.
The first two pages of the list are below:

The General rule is You are eligible for H1B extn if the following conditions are met
a) Labor applied on your behalf atleast 1 yr prior to maxout date. You will be eligible for 1 yr extensions
b) Labor and I-140 approved in that case it will be 3 yrs extensions
Now I was in similar situation where in i applied for labor in 6th yr, Labor got cleared in 2 months, I-140 got cleared in 2.5 months so now i am eligible for 3 yr extn.
These days Labor certifications are taking a bit longer time (Atlanta is the only place they are doing it ) So it may take more time. Also one another thing needs to be considered is if there is any RFE then it takes longer.( Few cases pending beyond a year)
Do a research on various RFE and do your paperwork in much more details you will probably end up without any RFE on your case
