this is the first time I have heard such a situation. as far as I know..uscis had to do either of the two things..return the package or send reciept notice. I dont think they are allowed to keep the application fees if they dont intend to process the petition.
Please check with other people..but what your lawyer is saying does not sound right to me. Have you checked with the company sponsoring your brothers H1-B? maybe they can ask the lawyer for a definite answer.
Also, did you apply under regular processing or premium processing? if it was premium processing..USCIS had to give an answer by April end.

Apply H4 with lawyer or by ourselves? My lawyer took care of my H1B, green card cases. Do I need to apply H4 for my wife through my lawyer? What is the advantage of using lawyer with H4 application. Can I apply it by myself? Is there any H4 application checklist around? Thank you.
I never hired a lawyer when I applied for my wifes H4 about 4 years ago. In my experienced, I gathered all that are needed documents, send it to my wife for her consulate interview. A lawyer wont help at all in getting your wifes H4 visa, except for the list of documents that he know your wife might need. The consular office had some list documents your wife will need. So dont worry if the first time your wife tried and get denied.
Do it yourself and save money!

In the 485 filings for me and my wife, my divorce certificate for my previous marriage was put in my files but it should have been with my wife's file per 485 intruction because she is the derivative applicant. If USCIS can't find it in my wife's file, will USCIS look for it in my file since we filed together?
If this is not required as initial evidence then they will issue an RFE and then you can send the documents later.
To fix the problem, could we resubmit my wife's 485 now and withdraw the one just submitted even though we don't have the receipt for it yet? or should we wait until we get receipt for the one just submitted and then resubmit her 485 application when my PD become current again? or could we just submit the missing file after we get the receipt and my PD becomes current?
Don't resubmit your wife's application, wait for a receipt
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Here is the my status:
- 140 approved(EB3 category)
- I am in 7th year of my H1
- 3year H1 extension is in-process
All of the above with Company-A.
If the 3year H1 is approved, will I be eligible to change job to Company-B and transfer my H1 to Company-B?
Can I take my priority date from my application from Company-A to B?
In what way Company-A can affect my status once I switch to Company-B?
Thanks for your input.

so does it means I can have only one GC (I485) processing at a time ? I can't have two GC(I-485) processing in parallel , one dependent I-485 which was filed through my husband's and another one filed under my own GC processing ? Actually, as I already have I-485 filed under EB3 and was planning to file another one under EB2 and though I will take the one whichever gets approved first. Also, this way there will be a backup plan as well. But seems like that is not feasible..huh (

I believe you have to be in the US when your 140 is applied. Same goes for 485. Check with your lawyer. Once 140 or 485 is applied, you can travel outside.
For 485 you do indeed need to be in the US (for yoiu adjust status, you need to be in some status in the US). However for I-140 you need not be in the US. Can you point to any law or any link on any forum that says you need to be present for filing the I-140?
The complete GC process can be done without ever entering the US (do LC, file I-140, then do Consular processing for the final stage)

Hi ,
My H1 expires next week and I am having my FP date 11/13.My company HR recommends that I don't need to go for the 8th year extension.They say that it is a kind of money and time waste to go for extensions.They say that it is good to work on EAD.But my question is what happens if there is a pro with I485?What do you guys recommend????
Can you guys tell me the forms that have to be filled for H4 Extensions.I want to save the $$$that I have to pay for the attorney.
Thanks

Hello All,
Here are my case details, please help me.
- I am on a H1 visa through company ABC and my H1 visa and I-94 are expiring on Sep 30th 2007
- My wife is currently on a H4 visa and she arrived in May 2007. Her h4 visa and I-94 are valid till Sept 30th 2007
- My consulting company ABC has filed for her H1 visa and she received her H1 approval notice in May 2007 (after her arrival here) with a start date of Oct 1 2007. Since it was not a COS, she didn't receive a new I-94.
- Since our plan was to stay together for a few more months till November, My employer(and my spouse H1 sponser) ABC has filed for my H1 visa extension and her H4 visa extension and we have received receipts for both of the applications.
Would that be sending wrong signal to USCIS, saying that she wants to continue on H4 and not work on H1? Would that cause H1 approved petition to be cancelled or revoked. Is it true? If its going to be a problem, what are the immediate steps she can take since she wants to work?
We were exploring ways that she can get the H1 I-94 legal status from staying within US instead of exiting the country and getting a H1 stamping right now. What steps can we follow.
* Form I-539 which we used for extending the H4 status, could we have used the same form for requesting a change of status to H1 and since it is almost taking upto 3-4 months, would we have been granted a I-94 for H1 sometime in Nov as we were wanting? Could she stay in the US legally once this form had been filed until its approval?
* Should the employer file for I-129 to amend the status of stay from H4 visa to H1 visa and when he should do it?
Regards
Prakash

My date will be current from September 1st. Is it okay to travel to India on a short trip while the date is current? If 485 gets approved while I am india, can I still come back on advance parole?
You are safe. Just make sure that your AP is valid when you re-enter.
If you are approved while out of the country, take a print out of your approval email and show it to the Immigration officer.

Press 1 to select English
Press 2 for a Case
Enetr 1 for receipt no.
Midaway press 3 and then 4.
USCIS probably realized that many of us were calling and tried to give some relief to our tired fingers, instead of giving us the GC!
Hi all
I have been trying to use the POJ method to reach an IO but looks like USCIS has shutdown that option. After entering the receipt number it simply reads out the online status message and does not provide any option to reach a CSR.
Looks like eccessive status calls have caused this.
Has anyone still been able to use the POJ method today and if yes can u pls post the details ??

I am in the exact same situation. I have already filed I-140/I-485 concurrently with the substituted labor. Now the dates are current I am filling another I-485 with my approved I-140. There is nothing wrong in what we are doing, as long we explain about the earlier filling and clarify the motive of the second filling. Eventually we should withdraw one of the two based on the outcome of substituted labor/I-140.

It all depends when someone applies for the labor, if you had BS+ 5 yrs exp and then did MS +4 yrs if you apply your labor now you can claim MS+9 again the experience at the current employer is not counted.....
Thanks!
But I am with my current employer for the past 5 yrs (In India & US together)!!!
Is that exp not counted at all?:confused:
My GC is for future employment with another employer though...
