Folks,
CNN - and Media Coverage of Immigration
Wanted to suggest..today they are showing a wide variety of perspectives on Immigration problem. I have seen in the recent past on one such programs they invite people to call and express their views.
Perhaps it is time for folks to dial the 1-800 number and speak up on the retrogession issues, backlog inefficencies, eb2, eb3 being stuck for china, india, inabitliy of spouses to work and request for lengthier h1 extensions, asking for GC for those who are here for more than 5 years etc...
The views will be aired in public and I am pretty sure all the politicians will be watching with interest, they will also hear the difference bet Legals and Illegals and also the problems faced by legal immigrants - First Hand.
Perhaps it may be a worthwhile idea to discuss what to talk !

it is fine to have both I-485s filed and pending - generally speaking, if one gets approved, USCIS should deny the other (as a LPR you will no longer be eligible to adjust your status to lpr).
Thank you very much for your reply. Just wanted to know what is "LPR"?

Changing from L1 to H1 has nothing to do with your GC process.
Since you have L1 - you have most probably worked outside the US for at least 1 year with your employer. If this 1-year stint was at a managerial capacity (5-6 people reported to you at least, and you are at least 2-3 positions removed from the entry level) and was within the last 3 years - then you can apply in EB1 category.
I changed from L1-H1 as well. I was not able to apply in EB1 since my 1-year stint was outside the 3 year window.
Whether you can apply in EB1 or not has no connection with whether you are on L1, H1 or even outside the country. The EB1 requirements are similar to L1requirements (in fact identical to L1A requirements) - and that is why you see lots of L1A guys getting their GC early. There is a definite correlation - but no causation.

Hello All,
When I was doing my education (MS) my credit dropped drastically and recently like 2 years back it went for collections too. However I cleared all my credit card debts but it still shows on the credit report that as severe deliquencies and number of open accounts.
Next month I'm applying for AOS - I want to know whether bad credit will have any affect of the approval or denial of the application? :mad:
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks
Unless you dont have credit($$$$) to pay your lawyer then it will impact AOS.
LOL
It has no impact.

My Case:
Company A applied for GC citing future employment.
Got the EAD.
Currently I am in the pay roll of Company B(sister concern of A) in H1.
What are the things I have to do if I have to work in EAD? Can I use AC21 and move on? Do I have to work for Company A atleast for sometime?

Hi,
I am Planning to go TORONTO for my 2 H1B visa stamping.In my first experience my application was under administrative processing for 6 months, but since I have AP and EAD I came back,then when they called my Passport was about to expire in 5 Months so with my new passport it went into administrative processing for 2 more weeks then I was asked to come down to toronto and I got my H1-B
Now here are my concerns specially how to prove
1) Employer employee scenario( what docs will prove VO, I work as a IT consultant at third party have my H1B approved till 2013, visa is expired,Vendor is ready to give letter , client does not have this policy )
2) My project end date is feb 2011, what if he asks me what will i do after that, how to convince?
3) will my previous administrative processing triigers for admin processing again ? I heard that once you went to admin processing after that any time you go for stamping you will go through admin processing?
4) Will use of Advanc parole (in case of admin processing) TO come to US in anyway cause issues when admin processing is done and visa is to be issued?
5) Is it safe to go to HomecountrY(Hyderabad,India) than toronto since I dont have US Degree but I did study MS for 3 semesters yet to complete
6)If I Marry and wants to use AP to enter but work on H1 status, can I still have my wife go for H4 Interview with my expired VISA but unexpired I-797 and she comes on H4 and I come back using AP and work on H1 status?

Along with other documents, include a copy of I485 Receipt Notice and EAD card.
Did any body Tried that earlier, Like instead of sending the H1-B sent "I485 Receipt Notice and EAD card" for parents Visa ?

Hi all,
This is for my friend who got his 3 year H1- B extension recently.
He planned to visit India for stamping and already booked the air ticket + consulate appointment.
But the Visa validity start date in his I-797A is incorrect. He joined this company only in 2006 but the start date shown in I-797A is sometime in 2001.
Though the END date is correct, Is it going to cause any problem in his Visa stamping?
He got only 2 weeks to fly and skeptical about the turnaround timeframe to file for correction.
His lawyer says it is a very minor problem and will not affect the visa stamping.
Please share any similar experiences / ideas.
Thanks a lot

I was in the same boat and I can tell you that you have to pretty much depand on your company attorney. In my case it took 2-3 inch thick stack of documents to prove the relationship of the US company with its foreign subsidiary and if you are trying to get L-1A (multinational executive/manager), it will take another bunch of documents to prove your credibility, your existing status with the company as a manager/executive in the foreign subsidiary, your proposed role in the US company and a lot more. I guess it would be wise for you to let the attorney handle the case as you probably won't have much to do with the whole process. However, the positive news for you is that almost all of the well documented and properly filed L-1 petitions are approved by USCIS, and any experienced immigration attorney won’t have much of a problem getting you approved.:)

It is August now and I have almost completed 3 years of my H1 (with a consulting firm) and I am due for my renewal by end of September this year. I have all paychecks proper so far. At this time, I badly want to go back to H4 for a short break while I keep looking for full time positions in the market. Due to recession and my location constraints, I am expecting an offer only after a few months from now. So, is it possible to get a change of status to renewed H1 immediately after I get an offer? How long will this processing take? Will a potential new employer be hesitant to offer a position because of this? My current employer is not willing to sponsor for my renewal. What is the cost of H1B renewal under normal circumstances?
