Hi Everyone,
The A# that is listed on my I-485 receipt notice is different from the one listed on my approved I-140. In addition, the number listed on my I-485 receipt notice has only 8 digits instead of 9. From reading various forums, I've heard both sides of the story...some are saying that something like this needs to be corrected, and some others are saying that the A# is just a file number, and eventually gets consolidated.
I called USCIS customer service, but they weren't much help as they couldn't pull up the information in their system.
Any inputs? I'm planning on inquiring about this when I go for fingerprinting. Also curious to know if anyone's A# on their approved I-140 has nine digits, and if the one on the I-485 receipt notice only has 8 digits.
Thanks.

I am a July filer who has been working with his company for 5 years on H1. I have an offer to switch jobs and I am contemplating using EAD (I renewed it in 08,just never used it).
The new employer has verified my status using e-Verify. What surprised me is that , as soon as the verification was done, my existing employer called me and started asking me if I was planning to use the EAD and if they can do anything to alleviate my concerns about my compensation etc.
There is not way my current employer would know about my intentions since I maintained the confidentiality.
Does anyone know if e-Verify informs the current employer somehow? Do they receive a call from USCIS for any verification? Could this be a matter of concern?.

I am currently on H1B and in the process of leaving my current employer XYZ Inc. I also have an EAD that I haven't used yet but plan to use going forward. I understand that XYZ will and is rather obligated to notify USCIS of termination of my H1B employment by virtue of which, USICS will take steps to revoke the H1B petition. That being said,
1. Will I (beneficiary) and / or XYZ (petitioner) will receive a notice saying my H1B petition has been revoked?
2. Will it help in any shape or form if I were to fill an (back dated) I-9 form with XYZ indicating that I was already on EAD with XYZ before my termination? In this case, is XYZ still obligated to notify USCIS of termination of my H1B employment?
3. What constitutes a "bona fide termination" and is this even applicable in my case? Should I have a formal resignation letter in place for audit / RFE purposes down the road, if any?

Hi,
If a H1B visa holder is in US, i know it is possible to transfer H1B to a different comapny in US. But can anyone help me understand if the same is possible if the person having the H1B visa is in india currently?
Details
Using H1B visa, the person has worked in US for first 3 years. Now the person has applied for H1B extension and still the petition papers have not yet come. After applying extension the person has gone back to India. The person's current company is hesitating to send him back to US.
Question
After getting the petition papers, can one transfer H1B visa to a different company staying in india itself and them come to US via new comapany?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to obtain a Greencard from L1B status? If yes, how long does this process typically take? My understanding is it is possible and definitely easier/shorter than being on H1?
Yes, it is possible to obtain a Green card from L1B. However, you will have to undergo the Labor certification process (PERM application). Time wise there will not be a difference whether you apply under H1-B or L1B. It is only foreign nationals who are managers and executives on L1A status are eligible to apply for the green card without the labor certification.

Hi ,
I was in confusing situation,hope you can clarify and help me out.
My wife came to US as H4 in Feb 08.Her i-94 is valid till march 2010.
She applied H1 got H1 approved from Oct08 for 3 years.Since from Oct08 , employer couldnot find project for her.Her employer is asking to move from H1 to H4 back using Cos(i-539).After getting project can move back from H4 to H1 which doesnot come under quota.
My questions are:
1.Is it safe to move from H1 to H4 and back to H1 when she gets project.
2.Her previous H4 i-94 is valid till March 2010.She didnot went to india again.
If she converts from H1 to H4 now,till when she will get i-94(till my H1 valid or original i-94 date).
If she gets i-94 till original i-94 i.e March 2010,does she needs to go to stamping after March 2010 again or continue to be in US even after March or just go for border and get new i-94.
Can you please clarify.
Any suggesstions is really apprecaited.

I spend 30mintes reading the Title V-Immigration benefit to get sense of this new immigration law.
I do not see a country cap (10%) anywhere in this bill?
Sorry for my ignorance, if I missed this paragraph.

i am waiting for my priority date to become current to file for I-485. But it looks it'll take forever, as evident from May 09 visa bulletin, in which the visa dates are unavailable for EB3 India category. Do you know why dates are retrogressing or stagnant in bulletins after bulletins.
I have another question. My birth certificate is in an Indian language which was issued from the panchayat office where I was born. I want to know if that can be translated to English right here in US for I-485 application. Can somebody else who is not related to me write the translation in English and then get it notarized? If this is the case, then I don't have to go to India or get it done from there from the panchayat office, because this may take a long time. If anyone had tackled issues such as this, please share.

Hi,
I had a H1-b visa until September 2008 from Company A. I transferred the H1-B to Company B and it was approved in December 2008. When I went for my stamping in March 2009 it was denied under 221(g). My employer then withdrew the H1-B petition because of lack of projects. I am now planning to apply for a B1/B2 visa at the Mumbai Consulate. Any one have a similar experience to share or have an idea on my chances of sucess?
Thanks

Daily Kos reports on a hearing in Kansas regarding repealing a law that allows all residents to seek in state tuition at the state's universities. Really, there's no need to even comment on this - it's obviously appalling and should make people in Kansas immediately donate money to whoever is running against this guy. REP. O�BRIEN: My son who�s a Kansas resident, born here, raised here, didn�t qualify for any financial aid. Yet this girl was going to get financial aid. My son was kinda upset about it because he works and pays for his own schooling and his books...

I would like some information on the H1B quota starting Oct 2007 that people will begin filing for starting this April. How soon is the quota for those with advanced degrees from the US likely to get filled? Can someone answer when the quota was used up last year - i.e. how many days after the start was the quota filled?
thanks!
thanks!

Could anyone kindly provide guidance>
My wife, daughter and me have different dates on our green card with mine being the earliest. I am now eligible to file the N400 but my wife has 6 months to go. Does she become eligible only then or does she become eligible as my wife now, once I get approved. My daughter being a minor I guess should be fine on my application
Thank you for any guidance. Tried calling USCIS- cannot get through

USCIS has reminded all applicants for Adjustment of Status, Asylum, Legalization and Temporary Protected Status to obtain an Advance Parole (AP) document before traveling abroad. AP allows an applicant to re-enter the U.S. after traveling abroad.
In order to obtain Advance Parole, individuals must file Form I-131, Application for Travel Document to USCIS. The USCIS cautions individuals planning on traveling abroad to file Form I-131 well in advance of their travel plans (approximately 90 days before) in order to prevent possible conflicts.
We suggest all applicants of I-131 to file it in time to get the AP approval before leaving the U.S., otherwise it could have dire consequences and may result in an individual not being able to re-enter. Therefore, individuals that have a pending I-485 are encouraged to apply for Advance Parole before traveling abroad for easier re-entry if the circumstances of their current status changes.
