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.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD AFTERNOON GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

Mexican-born Carlos Santana is definitely music royalty in his adopted country. He was inducted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and Rolling Stone Magazine listed him as #15 on the 100 greatest musical artists of all time. Tonight he was on American Idol's finale show. He's about to start a two year engagement at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. And, most importantly, he's about to be the honored guest at the annual benefit dinner for the American Immigration Law Foundation. See you at the event.

hi attorneys,
my H-1B petition is valid for another 3 months. we applied for my H1 extn and my spouse H4 extn 2 months ago. both r still pending.
my spouse H4 petition expired last month. since we applied extn b4 it expired, my spouse can stay in usa legally.
now my spouse wants to travel abroad for a family function.
questions:
(1) is it fine to travel abroad with H4 extn pending? (pls note that the H-1B holder will not be traveling)
(2) if H4 extn is approved with new I-94 when abroad and my spouse gets another new I-94 at POE when returning, then which I-94 will be the latest valid one?
thx in advance,

Colombian-born Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, better known simply as superstar singer Shakira, met with President Obama at the White House today and urged the President to approve comprehensive immigration reform legislation. According to Foreign Policy Magazine: ... Shakira isn't confining her advocacy to education; she also wants Obama to push forward on immigration reform. White House officials told Shakira that they hope to reach an agreement this year with the Republican Party to legalize undocumented immigrants, her representative said. A lot of politically active performers have been reluctant to embrace immigration reform because of fear of a tea partyish backlash....

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?

From Matthew Oh's website, sounds like labor sub will be history from next week.
What are people's guesses on how many of the BEC labor certifications will be rendered effectively useless because of this?
Also, does this mean it will be more straightforward to port PD after I140 approval (because the old employer has no benefit to revoking I140 anymore?)?

USCIS kept on updating the total number of cases received for H-1B for FY 2009-10. However, the recent USCIS H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) cap count indicates decline in number of cases than what had been previously reported. The updated count reports the receipt of 44,400 �Regular� cap cases, by June 12, 2009 which is lesser than the prior count of 47,700, given as of May 22, 2009. There is no explanation too from USCIS for this decline in trend. Thus, this reduced number may reflect either withdrawals by employers, denials by the USCIS, duplicate filings, or an error in the prior cap counts.
As of this writing, both the Advanced Degree and Regular caps remain open. We will continue to provide updated H-1B cap count information.

Valid AP is enough to travel - no one should care about your EAD if you are entering based on your AP. Ofcourse, always carry a copy of the I-485 and your wife can say that you are the primary applicant if they ask for her work status, etc...
Traveling with an AP (w/o EAD) should not be an issue. Good luck!

Hello,
Need advise since I'm planning to get my H1 B stamped... On my 2nd visit on B1 Visa (Business) in 2005 I got an offer to complete my master's degree(sponsorship). I applied for a change of status and was approved. I completed my master's degree and filed for OPT which got approved and finally H1. I'm currently working for more than a year on H1 B visa. I was planning to get stamping done at Hyderabad, India.
Is it safe enough to get the visa stamped? And, do I need to take any additional documents to ensure that the visa gets stamped.... Please advise....

Are you really sure that your H1B is still valid? My understanding is, only one type of Visa will be issued to a country for an individual, they cancel previously valid visas.

Hi Firas,
Expression Blend can be used if you are creating an application that uses XAML for the visuals such as one created in WPF or Silverlight. The logic can be done in C#. Therefore, the answer to your question is "BOTH - if you are planning on building your application in WPF or Silverlight".
Cheers,
Kirupa :)

This may seem strange and confusing. Here is my case
I changed my employer from A to B with an intention of taking advantage of an existing approved labor with employer B. I applied for I-140 and H1B transfer at the same time in March 2007. I-140 was approved in June 2007. In July 2007, I applied for EAD and 485. Meanwhile, I got an RFE for H1b transfer and my attorney responded to this in time. I got my EAD approval in Sep 2007 and got FP done before my I-94 (thru company A) expiration in Nov 2007. I got a denial notice for my H1B on Nov 13 2007. My attorney missed the appeal date so no appeal has been filed for the H1B denial.
Here are my questions:
- Am I currently out of status since my I-94 expired in Nov 2007?
- If I am not out of status, what is the next course of action I should be taking?
- Will there be any issues when i try to renew my EAD?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
