Dear Fellas,
I went for H1b Stamping a couple of months back. I was given a 221 g at that time and later on was asked for company's tax documents. During this time I did not hear any thing from US embassy in islamabad and got the same reply that my case was under administrative processing.
yesterday I received a letter from US embassy saying that my petition was returned to INS. The whole process has been very frustrating and I even left a couple of good offers hoping that H1b will get through anyways I guess its over for me now......
Did any one else face the same situation?? Will it do any good to reapply?
tks

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently updated (http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/ApprovedSchools.pdf) their list of Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) approved schools. The schools listed have all been certified to participate in the program.
The program allows foreign students interested in obtaining an education in the United States to complete a visa petition, pay the required fee, and attend a U.S. College or University.
Interested Foreign students: There is a process in obtaining a student visa, but it is not a difficult one. The student must first obtain Form I-20 from the U.S. College or University from which he/she intends to enroll, pay the required visa fee (Form I-901) and contact a local U.S. Consulate/Embassy to schedule an interview. The SEVP procedures differ among U.S. Consulates/Embassies; contact your U.S. Consulate/Embassy NOW to determine its particular procedure on applying for a visa before planning for the interview.
Interested Schools: There is a separate process to obtain F & M Certification. Authorized school officials must obtain and complete Form I-17. An overview of the SEVP Certification process (http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/i17_process.pdf) can be found on the ICE website . If approved, the school will be certified and allowed to issue Form I-20 to qualifying foreign students.
If you need assistance or an explanation of the SEVP, please contact our office (http://www.mvplg.com/contact.htm) to schedule a consultation.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH ANSWERS ON ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS, APPROVED I360 VAWA AND INTERVIEW?
I just received an approved i360 vawa petition from VSC dated January 26, 2011. The petition was approved on December 20, 2010 and I have a pending I485, filed on January 2010 and I asked the local office during my interview to hold on to it till my VAWA I360 is approved. Now, my VAWA I360 has been approved, I would immensely appreciate your kind help if someone can help me with the following questions.
1. How long does it take for an approved VAWA I360 to get notified to National Benefit Center to link my pending I485 to my approved I360?
2. Has anyone ever experienced this situation and how long did it take before securing interview notice?
3. Do I need to contact the local office since I suspect my pending I485 should be at the NBC or do you think its been transferred to local office.
4. My work permit EAD is expiring on March 9th this year and I would like to renew it since I still have a pending I485 since April last year and approved I360 this year. Do you think I have to renew my EAD since I'm hoping to secure my green card soon rather than paying another $380 this week for my work permit renewal?
If you need additional information, do let me know.
I have read couple of things online but I would really appreciate if someone can help me out. Many thanks as look forward to hearing from you guys.

Thanks. So if I-485 is approved, then all OK.
What happens when there is a problem with I-485: Denial or NOID ?
If denial, and in US, MTR can be filed and if MTR accepted, the period (from Denial) is considered as legal stay (even if not maintaining H1b status).
But if denial, and outside US, you can NOT enter on AP. Correct ? Here only option to enter US is H1b ? Can MTR be filed ?

She can stay as long as she wants, but it is finally up to the port of entry officer to decide to let her in or not depending on reason for staying outside (while 485 is pending) is valid or not. After all AP is supposed to be used only for emergency situations.
Can wife stay in India for more than 6 months while 485 is pending?
What she have now is an approved AP till 2009 december.
thanks

Hi,
I'm in H1B visa and my visa was valid until 26th October , 2012. Recently, I went Bangladesh and US embassy stamped visa until October 23, 2011. When I returned US, Immigration office issued me I-94 validity until September 23, 2011. Now how long I can stay in US?? Do I need to apply for H1B visa extension or I will go to Canada or Mexico to apply for new visa or if I go to Canada or Mexico and return back, they will issue me a new I-94 until Sep/Oct 2012. Any one please suggest what should I do?
Your stay is legal until your I-94 specified date. You can get it resolved by INS or go out of US and reenter (which may turn out to be faster). And this time while entering make sure Immigration officer puts right date on your I-94.

hi,
I am planning to extend the visitor visa for my mom for another two months.
Her current I94 expires on June 25th and At POE the officer told her that she must go back after 6 months.
If I apply for extension of her visa and in case she does not get any result before current I-94 expiry date, is it wise to stay on or leave US in order to avoid overstays?
2.What happens if she gets a rejection before her current I94 expiry, will she need leave earlier and apply for new visitor visa?
Appreciate your answers
Thanks

Dear Attorney.
I would really appreciate your views on this.
My Company says that the Minimum Job requirement for the my JOB is
5 years of progressive exp in developing applications in JAVA
and there in 2 years of experience in mobile systems.
I have 6 years of progressive experience in Java, and 4 years in mobile systems. Do you anticipate any issues with an EB2 approval.
I always thought eb2 is ms/bs+ 5 years of progressive, i never know it could be bs + 5 years in core skills and 2 years in others.

In OHIO I have successfully renewed my DL for 4 full years solely on original I-485 receipt.
On H1 they still give 1 year extensions.
Try doing the same in your state.

Hey guys,
I work in a MNC, my I-140 was filed on July 16th 2007 and is still pending and they r filing my I-485 and my wife's I-485 (as dependant).
But now I came to know about my wife's labor application has been approved and they want to file my wife's I-140 and I-485 concurrently, so can I file another I-485 through my wife's employer for my wife as primary and me being dependant to my wife.
I know this question must be asked a lot of times but does anybody has done it or not done it, please share your experiences.
Thanks in advance.

" I have filed my I-485 (AOS) and I will get an EAD soon. So why should I bother about Rally? -DUH!! "
My dear friend, because when you have filed for I-485, so did 3,49,999 others. Your category will not get more than 3500 visas a year ((1,40,000 *7/100)/3). No matter what your priority date is, USCIS will not even get to your application for atleast a year and after that, the PD may not move forward for several years. At this rate you will not get a GC for several years !!!!!
"I will get EAD, so where is the problem? I can change jobs with EAD."
The problem is in your brain (opps) I meant perception. You may be able to change jobs on EAD, but you cannot get promoted to a job with a different job description. You cannot get a raise more than nominal raise (5%). Bottom-line, you cannot do anything where you will not be able to justify that you will perform job listed in I-140.
So, what should I do?
Lobby to change the laws. Participate in lawmaker awareness programs. Expresss support to people who are trying to get laws changed in your favour. Go to Washington, DC this Tuesday, Spt. 18th and express your support to IV. Meet your lawmaker and ask what he/she can do for you.

I used my 485 EAD, which I received when I filed my 485 with my spouse. And now I want my employer to apply H-1B for me. I am wondering if I can apply change of status to H-1B within US or I have to apply H-1B petition, which requires me to get out of US and get the visa at some US consulate or embassy.
I'd really appreciate any info.
Thanks a lot.
I am not sure I understand why would you want to do this? You are on EAD, correct? This already gives you the right to work for any employer; getting an H-1B would be a step back in this regard. Am I missing something?

Thanks Crazymonk.
Does it always go to consular processing for 2nd option?
I was more inclined towards 2nd option thinking that whether or not I get I94, if in case I have to use it, I can make a trip to India and get the stamping done?
Thoughts?
