I don't see a reason why premium processing will lead to rejection. Certainly that is not the case with H-1B. Infact 2-3 years back H-1B premium processing had 0.5% higher approval rate than regular H-1B.

I saw that too, but my problem is that i already had an appt for 3rd week of dec but I had an issue with my passport. Had to send papers for getting my name changed to my married name on the passport as the latest I797 i received was on my married name (noticed this only recently). Now I cannot change the name, passport etc on an existing appointment so will have to cancel the one I have. And currently only emergency appts are available for 3rd and 4th week of dec. Hence the dilemma!!!!!

i_aged_out
03-22 10:26 PM
Hello everybody ! I am 22 years old. My parents had applied for GC under the employment based category. I, unfortunately, aged out before my parents applied I-140 because of the stupid backlogs. So I aged out even before an I-140 was filed. I was reading the Child protection act info and could not understand if I will be "automatically classified to the appropriate category" for GC which is Family 2B and retain my "original PD." Does this apply to me as I had not even filed I-140 when I aged out ? My parent's PD is Oct 2000 so does this mean I am under Family 2B with Oct 2000 PD ?? Please help me out. I am sure many of you with sons/daughters that are in a similar situation. Thanks

Hello,
I will be getting married to a H1 holder in India and because of the time involved in obtaining a marriage certificate, am planning to leave shortly after the wedding with my existing B2/tourist visa. What are my options of applying for a H4 once I do that - would I have to come back to India to apply for that, or can it be done from Canada/Mexico - are there any risks pertaining to intent of travel associated with such an action. Thanking you in advance for valuable help in this matter!
You would be better off stamping your H4 in India, my 2 cents. Especially B1/B2 to any non-immigrant visas most of the time is a mess in my opinion.

total time in labor with news paper advt and all buffer is 6-8 months. I140 take another 2 weeks in premium processing. so in all 9months approx. that should give further extension on H1b.
Also even if previous I140 is revoked, you can have your PD attached to this new labor during I140 application.
good luck.

This is about nurses amendment and DREAM act being "Introduced" in senate and house respectively.
INTRODUCTION OF BILL DOENST MEAN ANYTHING.
INTRODUCTION OF BILL DOENST MEAN ANYTHING.
INTRODUCTION OF BILL DOENST MEAN ANYTHING.
There are 535 members in the US congress. 100 in Senate. 435 in the House. Any one of them can draft a bill, make a print-out and "drop" it in the House/Senate. And once "dropped"(Introduced) it can be up on thomas.loc.gov in 2-3 business days.
However, a mere "INTRODUCTION" not worth a bucket of warm spit.
If the leadership of House/Senate do not take up the bill on schedule, then all that the bill does is
1. Make a position statement for the lawmaker. Better way to state your position than a press release.
2. Appease the special interest who are pushing that office to "Do something".
3. Keep it as a place-holder for future consideration. If ever there is an opportunity, they can push to make that intro-bill an amendment to a bigger bill. Examples : SKIL bill became amendment of CIR last year, DREAM act, AGJOBS bill etc.
Please pay attention to capitol hill before carping about nurses and agricultural visas and before crying/complaining.
And please please talk to some office in leadership. EVERYONE will tell you that "WE WONT ALLOW ANYTHING BEFORE CIR IS DISCUSSED, DEBATED AND VOTED UPON". Nothing means nothing. No SKIL, No Agjobs, No nurses, No Small-tiny-teeny-weeny bills, no sneaky amendments in spending bills. NOTHING.

...if you do not have a valid-unexpired stamped US visa.
Does anyone know if I require a transit visa if traveling to India via Canada by Lufthansa.
I have a AP, used to have a Canadian visit visa which expired in Dec 2010.
I have traveled on AP via Dubai using United and did not have a issue.
I am traveling next weekend, I will appreciate your reply.

the webfax letter is great and articulate and I dont undermine its value. But what i meant was another one based on just the hard country quota dilemma/eb3 ;A petition highlighting that even with the pro provisions our status will remain unchanged unless a amendment corrects it or provides a interim relief.
I dont think the fax would motivate any senator to present a amendment on the floor.It would surely educate and maybe earn their sympathy but would it do any good for our numbers??
A hard copy with full name,city,state of all members ..would that not mean a little bit more to them.I am not debating the work put in by the volunteers /admins its value is unparellel and hats off to all of you.
But the situation is getting so desperate that no measure seems inappropriate right now. Shoot all your arrows atleast one may strike or hit close to the aim!

Hi,
Should I go to Canada or Mexico and re-enter US with EAD/AP before my AP expires to start working on EAD and avoid any "out of status" issues ?
Does Canada Mexico ask for valid VISA and I-94 to get a visitor visa?
Should I go to India(my home country) and re-enter US before my AP expires to keep my status ?
It doesn't seem to me that you need to leave the US at all. You are authorized to stay here because you have a 485 pending. You can work using your EAD. The company should have reverified your I-9 form when the H-1B expired, assuming that you showed the H-1B paperwork to complete the I-9. However, since you have an EAD, you were not working without authorization.
However, you have a lawyer who has reviewed all your paperwork and presumably s/he knows something that I don't.
Whatever you do, you should NOT try to enter the US as a visitor when you really want to work here and be a permanent resident. That would be fraud.

Hi,
I have been working for company X on an H1-B.
* They filed for an EB-3 Labor Certification (RIR) and I-140 with a priority date of April 2003 on my behalf.
* My H1-B expired in March 2006 and they filed for a 3-year extension, which was approved (till March 2009).
* In the meantime, both my Labor and I-140 were approved. I had been waiting to apply for my I-485 since then.
* Now, I'm switching employers (because of a RIF in company X) to company Y, who were working on making me an offer.
* However, company Y's legal department came back saying that they cannot apply for an H1-B transfer because the current law doesn't allow transfers from an H1-B extension (after the original 6-year H1-B has expired).
Could somebody advise me if this is really true?

I think this is good thing. This will definitely weed out the fraud cases and maybe free up some visa numbers. If your AC-21 portability is genuine you have nothing to fear. Let them investigate as much as they want.

First, there is nothing called "sponsoring a visitor visa". You cannot sponsor . Every visitor need to qualify on his/her own.
If you mean sending an invite letter and copy of your H1 to show they are visiting you , it is fine.
If you mean sending I-134 -- Affidavit of Support -- the Affidavit has no legal value. If the visitors do not have enough liquid cash, they can say that you will fund the trip (and you can send your bank statements to prove). Anybody else (like your siblings in home country) can also fund the trip. If they have cash, best is to show that as source of their trip.
