Got laid off two months ago. After some painful job search, I accepted an offer with paid relocation. Then that idiot in my head starts murmuring that I will have trouble with the "Same or Similar" requirement for using AC21.
Did anyone here ever get an RFE for employment verification after invoking AC21? How did it go?
I always think it's very difficult evaluating the similarity of two jobs by reading their job descriptions.
Thanks,

The documentary series In their Boots premieres a new episode this week on immigration problems facing military families. I've tried to highlight those problems in this blog and am glad that a serious documentary filmmaker has taken on the subject. The episode is entitled Second Battle and here is a synopsis: Sgt. Michael Ferschke, Jr. served honorably in the Marines and lost his life in Iraq. His widow, Hota, now faces a new battle to live in the U.S. even though she is trying to honor Michael�s wish to raise their son in his hometown. Unfortunately, Hota�s story is not...

Here is the latest on H1B visa numbers, they now passed the 50K mark. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it has now received approximately 48,977 H-1B petitions counting toward the congressionally-mandated 65,000 limit. USCIS also confirmed that it has received approximately 17,836 H-1B petitions for employees with advanced degrees from U.S. colleges and universities. The annual limit on H-1B petitions in the advanced degree category is 20,000.
Accordingly, USCIS is still accepting H-1B petitions under both the general cap and the advanced degree cap. We also continue to process H1B cases, but time is running out so in order to secure visas for this season employers must act now.

Hi All,
I'm looking for solutions in my situation.
I'm currently under a L1 visa for a company A but I would like to resign and look for another Job.
The thing is, as far as I understood, If I resign I have to leave the US. So here are my questions:
1) How long can I stay in the US after I resigned from my company under a L1 visa? Can I stay in the US even if my I-94 is valid?
2) How is the USCIS notified that I resigned from my company? Should I send a notification or is that done by my company?
3) Can I apply to a H1B COS by myself to then look for a job? Or will I need a company B to sponsor me?
4) If I can't apply to a H1B COS by myself, do I have any other visa options?
Thanks a lot for your advice!

Gurus,
Need your help. Can I ask my employer to file a new perm labor processing while I am on EAD status (pending my existing case)?
Idea is to do EB3- EB2 porting with a perm. I heard you can file Perm only if you are on H1 or other status and not on EAD (AOS Pending I485).

The Obama administration announced to use cutting-edge technologies to revamp the entire US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), so as to not only reduce the paperwork, but also the backlog and bring in more transparency into the system.
US President Barack Obama told a select bi-partisan group of Congressmen that such a system would be in place in the next 90 days, in which the USCIS will launch a vastly improved website.
This is likely to help thousands of Indian Americans every year who apply for permanent residency or Green Card, citizenship or approach USCIS for various immigration issues, but have to experience an agonizing wait.

Hi friends,
My EAD was about to expire in 4 months. I'm going to apply for the renewal. Can I keep working if the application is pending?

Hi,
I need to get my H1B stamped in Mexico. I know there are some agencies which offer a complete package trip to the Mexico US Consulate. Does anybody know some names and contact information?
I am based in Los Angeles and am pretty close to Mexico border. Do they have something in Southern California? Other places are also Ok.
Thanks,
Prashant.

My first H1 was from "Company A" back in 2001. Company A also sponsored me for my green card. In 2005 I transferred my H1 to Company B, however my green card was still sponsored with Company A. I have an approved I-140 and I am waiting on my PD to become current. My H1 is suppose to get renew in August of 2007, which will be through Company B.
I have heard that after 6 years renewal, your current H1 company should have sponsored you for green card in order to get the 7th year H1. And as you can see in my case that my previous company has sponsored me for my
H1 and not my current company.
Can someone put some light on this issue.
Thanks,
SHA

Greetings,
please advise what steps should be taken if I recieved the NL letter from KCC that I am selected for 2011 DV lottery.
I am in AOS in EB3 category, my H1B already expired, working on EAD.
My case number from DV lottery is very high (29***).
What should I choose - CP or AOS???
Should I fill and return back to KCC both forms - DSP-122 and DS-230 forms??? :confused:
Thanks and best regards...

I think you can do that as long as the other H1B's were not cancelled.
Talk to an Immigration Attorney about this issue.

Hello,
Our H1B/H4 status has been approved with 3 yr extension. We have an approved AP also. As of today, I am on H1 (don't want to use it) and my spouse is working using EAD (got the EAD as a resultant of my 485 dependent).
Now, I have two Q's?
1. Since she is working using EAD and now that her H4 extension is approved, will this approval invalidate her EAD ?
2. If we go for stamping (and that our H1/H4 will be stamped), will that stamping also invalidate my spouse's EAD ? We can very well come back using Advance Parole, but to be on safe side we want to get the stamping done (as others suggest). Don't know what would be the correct and best way. Appreciate your response and advice.
Thanks ~

Hi All,
My wife is currently working on H1B. She recently got her EAD through my GC application (I am the primary applicant). Can she use her EAD to work for her current company who is holding H1B?
Appreciate your response immediately

My I485 case recently transfered from Nebraska Service Center(NSC) to National Benefits Center(NBC).
And I have to renew my AP, where should I send my AP renewal docs, NSC or NBC?

This may seem strange and confusing. Here is my case
I changed my employer from A to B with an intention of taking advantage of an existing approved labor with employer B. I applied for I-140 and H1B transfer at the same time in March 2007. I-140 was approved in June 2007. In July 2007, I applied for EAD and 485. Meanwhile, I got an RFE for H1b transfer and my attorney responded to this in time. I got my EAD approval in Sep 2007 and got FP done before my I-94 (thru company A) expiration in Nov 2007. I got a denial notice for my H1B on Nov 13 2007. My attorney missed the appeal date so no appeal has been filed for the H1B denial.
Here are my questions:
- Am I currently out of status since my I-94 expired in Nov 2007?
- If I am not out of status, what is the next course of action I should be taking?
- Will there be any issues when i try to renew my EAD?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

1) I am in USA on H1B.
2) I have accepted an offer to join companyA in January '07. They have filed for the H1B transfer a few days back. And I have resigned from my current employer.
3) Now another companyB has agreed to acquire companyA, and they will close the deal in December '06. CompanyB will be issuing revised offer letters to new hires like myself soon.
So even when my H1B has been filed by CompanyA, it will cease to exist on my joining date (January '07).
My question is how is the H1B handled in such a case ?
Can an amendment be sent to the original application saying its for CompanyB, and not CompanyA. Or does CompanyB have to apply for a fresh H1B ?
General qn : When can I change the employer -- when the H1 papers reach INS or when the lawyers get the receipt notice from INS ?
They are setting up conference calls with the lawyers soon; I was wondering if I could get some inputs from the experts on the forum as well.
