Kuyt,
As a general rule, the person or entity petitioning for (sponsoring) a person (beneficiary) for lawful US immigration status must be a legal resident, asylee, refugee or citizen of the US up to and including the point in time that the beneficiary is granted lawful status. There are possible exceptions to this rule. To provide advice regarding your situation more information is necessary:
What is the sponsor's current US immigration status? What is the nature of the potential criminal conviction? Is the person being sponsored the principal beneficiary of an immigrant petition or is s/he a derivative beneficiary because the "sponsor" is actually the principal beneficiary? Is the immigrant petition employment based? Family based?

Why do you think that will happen..
I am guessing that if you 140 is approved (which is company based), then you are good because 485 is based entirely on the applicant..
Guru's pease throw some light on this

this is just like what people talk about IRS. I got packet in mail asking to contact immediatly field officer at local office regarding 2006 tax returns. Thinking worst, I didn't even go beyond subject line and everybody I talked or told, scared me to death. Finally, I mustered up courage to go line-by-line. Didn't understand what they were talking about and neither did the notice had my name or SSN. So left with no-choice, called IRS and found that documents were for previous resident!
Lession for me (and all) ... if you haven't done anything wrong intentially, their is nothing to be afraid about.

You can do it anywhere. I got my F1-H1 change of status stamping from Canada.
For first time H1B stamping, do we have to get it done in our Home country (India in my case)? Or can we get it done in Canada or Mexico?
I am currently on my OPT and have applied for my H1B visa. Your input will be appreciated!
Thanks

Hi
Just now I noticed my previous H1 renewal papers,In that My first H1 expired on Feb 20 2002. My previous employer applied the extension and got the approval but Receipt date on that application was Feb 26 2002, (Six days after the first H1 expired date) and got approved in Jun 2002 .Is it a problem,I never went outside US after I came here.Now I am in AOS status....

Hi, I have strange situation, when I check status of my I-485, this is what I see:
http://i.imgur.com/8beDR.png
According to their site I've already should have received either approval or denial of Applicatio to Adjust Status (I-485).
So my attorney called customer support # and claims that service representative told her that it refers to something mailed other than approval or denial having being mailed.
Well, since my attorney couldn't figure it out, I decided to call myself today. In my case, customer service rep told me that she isn't allowed to tell me whether it was approval or denial, but she said that it must be either one of the two. She offered to send me a copy of what was sent on Sep 2007 as per this screenshot above. So now I have to wait up to 45 days to see what it is.
I am wondering if anyone else has seen similar thing happen.
By the way, my priority dates aren't current. I am still in backlog, hence I am not so optimistic this could be approval or denial. I am actually more afraid whether or not my paperwork got stalled or something and it'll now never get resolved because of according to their system the matter has been resolved.
Anyway, if anyone has any advice or ideas that'd be appreciated,
Thanks,
Vlad

My husband got a new job now. But the new company is taking a lot of time to send him an offer. The whole process of initiating LCA and H1B transfer will take a lot of time I guess. He has asked the new company to expedite, but they said thats the fastest they can go.
He has a couple of weeks in his current company. I am afraid that the H1B transfer might get filed only after his last day in the current company. Since he has already found a job, will the USCIS be considerate to understand that even though he has found another job, of no fault of his, he will be out of status?
What is the penalty for being out of status for few days?

I need some advice in connection with a letter I received from USCIS for an in-person interview. It says that this interview will be video taped. It mentions a list of items to bring to the interview if they are checked, but none of the items in this letter are checked.
The items are:
- This letter, passport, I-94
- Medical exam results, Form I-693
- A current letter of employment
- Evidence of a common residence and shared life
- Other
My priority date is not current. And, my I-140 is approved and it has been more than 6 months since I-485 filing. I changed jobs about 4 months ago and did not transfer my H1B and started working using EAD. My H1B was revoked by my last employer. Also, I did not send a AC21 letter after switching jobs.
Is not sending the AC21 letter the reason for this interview? Also, since none of the items in the letter is checked, what does this mean? Please advise.

Have you received finger print requests?
yes I did for the I-485 after one or two month since I got my recipt number ...
Is your PD current?
I don't know what is PD stands for !...
Is the Service Center processing I 485 applications around the RD of your 485 application?
I don't know how to check that , because when I click on the checking by the RD of the file in the service center , it doesn't show any I-485 on the list !...
and what is the IV ?
THank you soooo much in adance for all the informatioin.

Dear Friends
I have a friend who is currently on H1B, currently on vacation in home-country, and stuck in PIMS verification.
1. he has H1B from current employer (valid till 2009) - Employer1.
2. another H1B from previous employer - Employer2. Previous employer ready to hire him again.
3. His spouse filed for his GC and his EAD, AP has already been received. Spouse has approved PERM, pending i140 and pending AOS.
He came on H4, converted to H1B (with Employer2), then switched to Employer1. Then went on vacation, and appeared for H1 re-stamping interview with i797, documents provided by current employer (Employer1).
Now he is stuck in PIMS verification, and the current employer want him to join asap and threatening to terminate her employment.
Assuming that current employer does not revoke H1B, but terminates him, can you help answer following doubts -
[A] validity of such a stamp on passport -
Q1. Will the visa stamp (with current employer) be vaild?
Q2. Previous employer hasn't revoked the H-1B, will that still be usable for jobs, re-entry?
[B] Re-entry
Q3. Inspite of termination, can the stamp and i797 of the current employer valid for re-entry?
Q4. Should he rather use i797 of the previous employer + passport (with stamp of current employer) for re-entry? Previous employer can provide offer letter and job description etc.? Is this route valid and will they allow re-entry on this?
Q5. Though he wants to continue on H-1B, but if his current situation may result in violation of any provisions, should he rather use Advance parole to re-enter?
THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE FOR ALL YOUR RESPONSES!!!!
