One of my friend left US for India in March 2006 with pending H1b extension. Applied for Visa stamping for existing petition which was due to expire in July 2008. Could not get his visa stamped due to 221g. Now his H1b extension is pending as USCIS is asking too much in RFE like client certificate etc and his sponser is not willing to persue further due to complexities (His employer is one of the following companies mentioned in http://durbin.senate.gov/showRelease.cfm?releaseId=295338) and asked him to assume this relationship to be terminated. Though he recieved the email yesterday his 221g is cleared.
Infact his I140 is also approved last week. I was wondering what options he has if he wants to come back to US.
Thanks

While its true, a cousin of my mine applied when PD was not current and got her EAD while her husbands 485 was pending (still pending)
Now, its a different issue that she/he get RFE whenever they apply for EAD renewal and once had to do a MTR.
I can only guess that if the adjudicator checks the date of application before approving the 485, they might be in trouble!

I entered exactly the following on a separate sheet for that item:
"Pending adjustment of status petition. Lengthy adjustment and the need to visit family from time to time."
I self filed for I-131 (both for my spouse and myself) and had no problem with the approval.
I see. And did you attached any documents with that statement?

Hi,
I was on regular H1B for three years until mid 2008 when I changed to H4 status. Now, if I want to work for a non-profit organization, does the org have to just transfer the original H1B or file a new non-profit petition. If it is the latter (new petition) what happens to my original H1 approval? If I want to go back to the for-profit world do I need to apply for a new H1 or will my original H1 validity continue??
Thanks

As far as I know, USCIS considers CP as abandonment of I485 app. I am not sure you will be able to convert back to I485 again. Also, I think you will lose all your AP/EAD benefits. Check with a lawyer tho.
Here is a helpful link on the subject from Murthy's website:

As they just started I-140 premium processing, I wonder why they cannot initiate 3rd stage premium processing.
I wouldn't mind spending a couple thousand dollars if I can get the actual green card in a couple of weeks after starting the 3rd stage. Time is money. If I can buy it, I will buy it.
I don't think it is very constructive to repeat the same story to the congress, which they are not tuned to. We'd better make various suggestions from many different angles so that they can pick at least some of them in a timely manner.

The salary should be increased the day H1 kicks in. This should be the H1 start date mentioned in approved petition in case of COS
OR
Once you enter US with H1 status if it is not a COS

Do you know Ozone layer depletion is because of Anti-Immigrants?
These anti-Immigrants are all mostly Jobless people who are incompetent in their jobs. They are lazy fat bums who sit on their a$$ and fart all day from behind as well as from their mouth using hate speech. This has caused too much of harmful gases in atmostphere and have depleted ozone. Their extra weight has sunken many couches and added a lot of broken couches in junkyards. These disposed couches are adding extra weight on the earth and causing earth to sink 1 milimeter every year. A new study will soon be reported in the Onion news.

Hi
I have valid AP until Oct 16, 2008. I am going out of country between 1st Aug - 31 Aug.
I read that upon return, I will be paroled for validity with 1 year from that date.. i.e 31 Aug, 2009.
Does that mean I will not need AP renewal until 31 Aug, 2009 and I can re-enter US until that date without having to renew AP.?
Thanks in advance
Although you receive 1 yr parole but you still need AP renewal before the current one expires (Oct 16th in your case). I think that the parole stamp on I-94 does not allow reentry into US.

I happened to read the following on a different thread on IV
"for cases that has to be filed by overnight courier that is by the USPS Express Mail the center will only pick up mails from the U.S Postal Service once a day and in the morning. Therefore any mail that is not picked up in the morning will be picked only the following day and is given a next day receipt date."
Does it mean that any packages that were sent out yesterday(Thursday) will be delivered today(Friday), but USCIS will only pick it up on Monday morning and then assign Monday as the receipt date? Anyone with some knowledge on this, please clarify.

I have heard/read that the person should work with GC sponsoring company for at least 6 months after RECEIVING the GC. Is that true?
This is 6 months after RECEIVING the GC and not just filing the 485 - Correct?

I got a letter from Zoe Lofgren's office, who is a Member of Congress representing California 16th District, in response to one of our web faxes on H-1B cap and GC backlogs. Below is the complete text from the letter -- it's heartening to know we are on their radar at least!
Now that we got their attention, is there anything we should do to follow up on this now?
- sirinme
================
Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate the time you took to explain the impact of the H-1B visa cap and the "green card" backlog on U.S. employers.
I understand well that the success of U.S. companies depends on highly educated and talented U.S. citizens and foreign nationals.
What we need is thoughtful reform that supports the American economy and allows American companies the benefit of the "best and brightest" from around the world.
As you know, the Republicans now lead in the House of Representatives, Senate, and White House. As such, Republicans control what bills and amendments are considered in committees and on the floor of the House of Representatives. They have taken no action for reform but have proposed legislating on a money bill in violation of House rules. Should Senate Judiciary Committee's H-1B proposal come before me in the House of Representatives, I will certainly consider your point of view.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if can be of further assistance to you or your family.
Sincerely,
Zoe Lofgren
Member of Congress

Why would one get a LUD on an OLD h1 with no LUD on anything else?
Just got CRIS email/LUD (no status change) on an old h1b that had no status change since Oct 2004. No LUD on the I140/485 or anything else. Only thing that makes sense to me is that my H1b is about to expire on dec 10 so maybe it has to do with that?
Anyone else have a similar experience. it's a little nerve wrecking.

Here is my suggestion:
Apply for H-4 as this should be straight-forward and fly your wife the US in March. Prepare H-1 papers and get it ready to reach USCIS on April 1st.
If H-1 is acceped in lottery(assuming there is going to be one), then H-1 status starts from October 1st. For travel purpose your wife will have to get H-1 stamping (which can happen only after October 1st).
Hope this helps.
If am in your situation, i will go with the above approach...

Hello,
IMO, a new H-1B petition and new LCA is a safer option ... I had done this twice and it gave me peace of mind and flexibility to accept positions with better job prospects and pay... this was also recommended by the company lawyers and HR.
