I have applied AP for my family 3 weeks before. My wife needs to go India by end of next month. If AP approval doesn't come to our hand by next month, can she leave the country? If she shouldn't, what are the alternate options? I appreciate your help.
If she needs the AP to return to the US, then she cannot leave until she has that AP in her hand. However, she may be able to return in H or L status IF she has been maintaining that status . If she is in a dependent status (H-4 or L-2), she can use that to return if you are maintaining the principal H-1B or L-1 status and if she has not worked.

How much time we need to wait before we start campaigning for a separate bill like SKIL bill.
I would like IV core team to Initiate some work, the work which volunteer like me can take forward. I am not good at lobbying, but I am sure with you folks help, I can do something.
Can super moderators can come up with a master plan, which we can implement at each state. Once one of the moderators commanded that � I like the Idea, but why don�t you volunteer for it, since it is run by a volunteer organization�.
I appreciate your command, but some one can lead it and let us take care of the rest. Initiation is the most difficult.
I too am busy with my work, but for the noble cause and to release the frustration which I had for this EB-system, I can take any trouble.
As I mentioned before, I can contact Sen.Mike DeWine, I met there staff before for some personal reason and they were too nice.
John Boegher ( Forgive my spelling) Majority leader is in my constituency. I can easily talk to him too.
But as an individual, it is practically impossible to make any impact, but as a group, at least 50 people with a several sign petition from each state, if we approach it can make some difference. I have some influence to get it published in Dayton daily news too.
Also if I do it at only Ohio, there may not be an impact, but if we all try to coordinate in different state, at the same time, the massive force can make lot of difference.
We can also include the University student at least can sigh the petition.
Any thought is appreciated, every time in the forum, people says � it s good idea� and leaves at that point, please it is the time, we need to act.
If we agree to my above point, we can start collecting the names and phone No with the state wise. It may take some time but surely we will keep it as backup.
Loosing the battle and telling that we will pack up and go back to India is not the solution, that is coward. I am sure, people who commended, will live for next several years complaining about the system.

Hi Ravi - My wife also got 221(g) while stamping in Mumbai. It looks like they are issuing it to all people with AP. Yesterday we entered US back using AP and did not inform the consulate. If the consulate clears 221(g), you can use it anytime upto next 1 yr. Since you have already paid them the money, why you want to say NO thanks so soon? You can enter US using AP and later inform the consulate or not inform them at all. does it make a difference? Who knows you might have to travel to India and may want to try your luck one more time.

Hello:
I was on H1B and was laid off last Thursday:(
Now I am in the process of changing my status to H4 (my husband is on h1B), I heard the process takes 3-6 months. My questions hopefully someone here knows?
1. Will I be able to travel overseas back home during this 3-6 months of waiting period?
2. Can I apply for COS here in the U.S. and then go back soon afterwards and reapply H4 from the U.S. Consulate overseas when the COS to H4 is still pending here in the U.S?
3. We don't plan to stay in our current address for more than 3 months now, can I use my friend's address on the form I-539 so when the COS is approved the notice can be mailed to my friend's home? Would it cause issues when INS notice that my address on Form I-539 is different from my previous on file?
Thank you for your help!

bb08/jvs,
thank you for your inputs.
I filled the DS160 and took an appointment at US consulate yesterday night with out the photograph. Looks like we can submit the photograph along with the confirmation letter on the day of interview.
I thought we needed to upload the photograph for completing DS160 but that does not seem to be the case. Did any of you experience this?
Thanks

I believe you would have to legally adopt her son and become his father. That may or may not be possible if his real father objects. The other option is for her to get her own independent H1/L1 visa and then have her son as her dependent.

As far as I know, you should meet the requirements as of the priority date of the LC, not when the LC is switched. You may want to consult a good attorney on this one.

thanks guys. i wished there was any interim EAD to continue work.
I agree would have been nice. I know people that had to quit working and then come back online once the EAD came through of course the employer worked with them as far as rehiring is concerned but its just not easy to not see the pay checks coming in regularly.

Like I said earlier, you have 240 days before you go out of status. If you are receiving an RFE, it means your case is under review. Upon receiving your response to the RFE, the officer should be able to adjudicate case fairly soon. However, if you are nervous, I recommend file for an expedited review when sending your response. That said, I would hate to pay the extra $$$$ if I don't have to.

I don't think anyone around can predict. Post the outcome after your cruise trip.
BTW, if I were you in J-1 situation I will stay at USA instead of the ship @Victoria. (I am not sarcastic, that is what I do).
I�m J1 visa holder and I�m planning on a vacation for Alaska cruise
during my grace period.
Here�s my trouble. I know J1 visa holder can�t go outside from USA during the grace period. But Alaska is also one of states of USA.
I also know that cruise visit to Victoria in Canada. But I will stay at my ship instead visiting Victoria. Is it ok to go legally? I mean �. can I go back to USA after Alaska cruise without any problems?

I'm curious if anyone has got multiple RFEs on their I-485 application. I had an EVL RFE last year and wonder about the chances they'll give that (or any other) RFEs again in future.
Any personal experiences?
By multiple RFE I don't mean many questions in 1 RFE letter. I mean USCIS sends you 1 RFE, receives reply and resumes the case and then at a later point in time sends another RFE on the same application.
No personal experience but based on recent visa bulletin and slow movement prediction going forward I would not be surprised if they send another EVL RFE, especially if your PD is more recent. This is because if and when your PD is approaching to be current, that could take 2, 3 4 or even 5 years. They may ask for EVL again to verify you still have a job offer after 5 years.

HI Folks
The reason for this post is as usual- too much confusion and no clear answers. i read on oh law firm that if you are not in a non-immigrant status i.e are working on EAD, there should be no gap in your EAD while you are working. Meanin you should stop working if your current EAD expires and your new EAD is pending- otherwise its a violation of law and provisions of 245 do not protect you because technically you are NOT a non-immigrant.
Is that true?????
Now, i recently had to go to India for an emergency, and had to come back on AP- did not have time to get my H1b visa stamped. I asked at the immigration counter if my H1b is invalidated and he told me it is. I spoke to my lawyer and she told me if you resume your H1b employment with the same employer- you are back in status- i kinda did not buy that though.
Can someone please shed light. My concern is that my EAD is expired- new one is pinding. Although i was on h1b when i left for India, but came back using AP. Am i breaking a law by working??
thanks
If you resume the job you were doing before you left, you do not need EAD. If you switch employment, then you have to use EAD.

For your LCA and H1 petition I would think you should mention DC as work location -- but check with an attorney
You should be also aware that you might get USCIS site visit at the location that you mention so be prepared for that

Currently my wife is on H4
I'm planning to file H1 for my wife (through another employer on April 1st, 2009). Regardless of the situation (H1B Cap lottery process or general process) if my wife's H1B petition is accepted, processed and approved (generally betwen April 15th 2009 and May 31st 2009), she will get work permit (with start date of Oct 1st, 2009) by May or mid June, 2009.
My company is also planning to file for my H1 Extension (along with H4 Extension) in April (cannot be filed it seems due to other cases) So, in this scenario if my H1 extension (along with my wife's H4 extension) is filed after April 1st 2009, then we will have an overlap situation (as USCIS will be receiving two petitions (one for H1 and one for H4) for my wife) in the same timeframe. How will USCIS deal with these scenarios?
As long as her H4 is approved before her H1 (if she gets through lottery and approval process), there won't be a problem (as H1 will be replacing her H4 to my understanding).
But if her H4 is approved after her H1B approval, then there is a risk that her H1B will be cancelled because of H4 approval.
Please let me know solution to this problem. Thanks in Advance
