I have an appointment for H1B visa stamp @ the toronto consulate next week. This will be my second stamp (first one expired early this year).
I received a phone call from the consulate asking for my H1B receipt/notice dates and receipt number, etc...She told me that there is new rule where USCIS has to verify the I-797 petition even though you carry an original approval notice. With this rule in effect...she told me the passport wait time is miminum of 4 days.
I already booked my tickets 2 weeks ago. I'm confused. Has anyone else received a call or have recently obtain H1B stamp in toronto?
I was hoping to come back in few days and now it's going to cost me $$$$$. I wish NVARS told me this when I signed up for the appointment.

I think: We donot have a choice. We have to show up on the day and time given on FP notice. If we can't- we have to request uscis for re-scheduling.
Call the ASC office and usually in such circumstances.. they allow to come earlier... Lots of ASCs are open sat.. So that may be good for you... Call your local ASC...

Hi,
I would have some questions concerning my case (didn't really find anything related).
- Up until December I was in the States under a F-1 visa.
- During December my H-1B was approved for my job which starts in February.
- I left the States at the end of December and reentered in February 2010 under the H-1B.
- I will start work in February and applied for a Social Security Number yesterday.
Now I'm not sure how to file taxes for 2009.
Due to the sign-up Bonus which I got for my new job I received a W-2 form which has 2009 written on it. 25% of my Bonus was withheld. Since I was a student in 2009 I'm not sure whether that is too much or the normal amount. Any ideas?
Are there any special forms I have to fill out due to this Bonus? Moreover: Is the Software I use for making my taxes independent of my Visa status? Do I have to indicate somehow that I was an F-1 last year and am now an H-1B. I mean I didn't even have a SSN last year.
I'm really lost here :(. Any help is appreciated.

Dear All,
1. Can someone please let me know what I should take with me when I meet the USCIS civil surgeon? Who gives the Form - I-693? My lawyer has not attached that form in her mails to me? Does the hospital provide or should I take one with me myself?
2. How is the procedure usually with the USCIS civil Surgeon? What does the surgeon do and how is the examination like?
Please help me understand this process better. I am aware of the vaccinations I should take but I am not aware of the procedure with the surgeons.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Augustus

Immigration Voice Team and Members,
I guess you may have seen this new bill introduced by Rep. Lofgren. This bill would be a boon to eagerly awaiting qualified candidates. Is there anything we all can do to push this reform!!!
Rep. Lofgren Introduces Bill to Retain International Talent
Bill Would Allow Best and Brightest in STEM Fields to Stay in the United States.
May 14, 2008
Washington, D.C. � Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) recently introduced H.R.6039, which would allow masters and Ph.D. level graduates from U.S. universities in science, technology, engineering, and math to obtain green cards without waiting in long lines, if they have job offers from U.S. employers. The measure enjoys strong bipartisan support, initial co-sponsors include: Reps. Chris Cannon (R-UT), Michael Capuano (D-MA), Chris Carter (R-TX), John Conyers (D-MI), Joseph Crowley (D-NY), Tom Davis (R-VA), Anna Eshoo (D-CA), Wayne Gilchrist (R-MD), Mike Honda (D-CA), Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Jim McDermott (D-WA), George Miller (D-CA), David Reichert (R-WA), Linda Sanchez (D-CA), Loretta Sanchez (D-CA), John Shadegg (R-AZ), Adam Smith (D-WA), and Ellen Tauscher (D-CA).
�More than 50% of the graduates from U.S. universities in masters and Ph.D. programs in science and engineering are foreign born,� noted Rep. Zoe Lofgren. �If we want our economy to continue competing in the global market, we have to retain these foreign students so they compete with us instead of against us in other countries. These men and women are the innovators of tomorrow, and we aren�t the only ones looking to retain their talents. Increasingly, employers from Europe, Australia, Canada, and even China and India, are beating U.S. employers for valuable talent. In 2000, for example, 75% of the world�s engineers were hired by U.S. employers�just six years later in 2006, that percentage dropped to 63%. This legislation will give U.S. employers another tool to recruit the world�s best and brightest.�

I am a Spanish citizen and I am currently holding an F-1 visa with post-completion OPT that expires in 06/2011. I am working at a company in VA and I got married in Michigan to a US citizen in 09/2010.
My company is offering to sponsor me for an H1B visa in order to continue working here after 06/2011. I am also preparing all the paperwork to apply for a change of status to a green card through marriage (I-130/I-485). Can I submit the green card application at the same time as my company submits the H1B request?
Yes. They are independent.
I also have to travel outside the US on 05.2011. I know I would have to ask for advance parole in case of green card application or obtain an H1B visa stamp outside the US if the H1 has been processed.
You must have advance parole to travel abroad after you have applied for green card. If the green card is approved while you are abroad and you do not have AP, theoretically the green card is considered abandoned.
H1-B VISA is independent of green card. You can obtain an H1-B VISA in a consulate abroad after you have the I-797 (H1-B approval).
What is the best way to be able to travel abroad in these circumstances?

Many of the Windows Live apps (Writer, Messenger, etc.), Windows Server Add-Ins/Components, Expression, and a handful that I can't remember use .NET either exclusively or just for the UI.
With .NET you still have the ability to make OS-level calls using the platform invoke methods. Here is an example where I showed how to do that: http://blog.kirupa.com/?p=256

I need some advice.
I have a PD of November 9th 2001 (EB3).
My 140 and 485 was filed on August 2003.
My 140 was approved in Feb 2004.
I am now retrogressed with the November Visa bulletin showing an April 22nd 2001 PD for EB3.
As we can all see EB3 is move very very slowly and probably will continue this way (I hope I am wrong), while EB2 is already current for my PD.
From my information and some threads on this forum. I believe I have the option of filing for an EB2, while maintaining my current PD.
My Questions:
1. Does it make sense for me to refile in EB2, given my situation? PD Nov 2001 in EB3.
2. Can I apply for EB2 through the same company. (my current company)?
3. What is the process of doing so (EB3 to EB2)? Would I have to refile for labor, 140 and 485, or is their a way I could directly file for I485, since my I140 is approved and I am in the same company.
4. Would the EB2 case be a new case altogether, i.e. not related to my existing EB3 case again providing the fact that I have NOT changed employers?
5. Would I be able to use the experience I have gathered in my current job (5.5 years) in the EB2 conversion.
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks

Is there any problem if your passport is expired while on H1 visa?
Do we need to get the passport renewed before it is expiring?
Just get it renewed while you are in US.
Its a one day affair to get your passport renewed(in person). You submit all your docs in the morning and pick it up in the evening.

I got myself in somewhat of a mess here and wondering if there is any solution?
I filed for my I-485 on June 28th and it reached UCSIS on 2nd July. I wasn't able to do the same for my wife as she was in India at that time.
She is back now and I want to file her I-485 but my lawyer tells me I can not do that because it either needs to be filed concurrently with mine or they need to have a receipt for my I-485 which doesn't seem to be coming in the next few weeks.
Is there anything else I can do? Anyone has similar experiences? Will a copy of my I-485 filing do?
Thanks.

Hi,
My 6 year H1B ends on April 17/2011 with Company A. Company A applied for my PERM on 15th Jan 2010.
Now I am planning to switch a company B(my interview is next week and I think I will clear that interview) to a Permanent JOB. If I get through that Company B. How soon they have to apply for my H1B transfer?
If company B apply PERM on June 2010(due to company B policy), is their any issue to get 7th yr of extension on June 2010 PERM? Or is it possible to apply for 7th year of extension Company A PERM application.
Please respond with your suggestions.
Thanks a lot in advance!

I was in the similar situation. i.e. My Labor was applied after I was in 6th year of H1-B. My lawyer told me that I won't be able to get 1 year H1-B extension based on the PERM because PERM had to be filed before 6th year of H1-B period (i.e. at least 1 year before H1-B term is over).
My lawyer suggested that in case the PERM is not approved in short period of time, he might have to send me abroad (outside US) for certain period of time since the period spend outside US does not count towards H1-B tenure. So basically if your PERM is filed on 01 June 2010, then you might have to spend "X" number of days (counting from April 17,2010 through 01 June 2010) outside US to be able to apply for 7th year H1-B extension based on pending PERM application.
I my case, things turned out in my favor and I was lucky to get PERM approved in 3 months and then I-140 approved in a week. I was able to get 3 year H1-B extension.
Please work with a lawyer and he would suggest you a way around. Its worth it to spend some money and get consultation from a expert lawyer on this matter. Good Luck with you new job.

Hi
Your application and your wife applications are different though she applied as dependent on your application both I-485 applications are treated separately.
So you will be on H1 though your wife uses her EAD. My friend is also in the same status and he is waiting for an answer from an attorney. I would update here once he hear back from attorney.
Thanks

If you have to use EB2, you have to interfile your application to EB2 after the EB2 I140 gets approved. Until then, your category is EB3. If you change the employer now, you would be using the AC21 for the EB3.
If you want to interfile with EB2, you would need to wait until the EB2 I140 gets approved.
The process with interfiling is not very clear. This means that, once you interfile for EB2, until you get a letter stating the interfiling was successful, you don't know which job position and job duties to follow while changing company.
So that means I can switch based on EB3 and AC21.

There is no AC21 for derivative applicants. She can join any employer at any time. AC21 comes into picture only for primary applicant. Derivatives get almost a virtual GC in terms of EAD.
