Hi,
I am a resident of the Chennai Consular District and I made an emergency appointment (returning US worker-H visa) for my H-1 renewal visa at New Delhi through the vfs website. I was not able to find any appointments at the Chennai consulate. I happened to know today through the New Delhi Embassy website that their emergency appointments are reserved only for residents of the New Delhi Consular District. I'm confused as to how/why the vfs website allowed me to make an appointment without providing this information. I am now unable to find any regular appointments available at New Delhi or emergency appointments at Chennai.
Also, the vfs website has a news update from Dec.4th stating that anyone (fluent in english) can now apply at New Delhi, Chennai or Mumbai. I do not know if this precludes the emergency appointment requirement at New Delhi as stated above or if this is a more up to date info.
If anyone here has any information/experience about this, I would appreciate a response.
Thank you.

How did you come to a conclusion there is a huge rejection rate in chennai ?

Your questions are valid....but either way, you must enter US ASAP on your AP (or have someone mail ytou your GC). The issue is that you are NOT totally free once you get GC because immediately leaving your sponsoring employer is a no-no and can cause your GC to be revoked or be an issue at the time of citizenship. It is advisable to stick to the employer for 6mts to 1 year after GC - if the employer is still functioning. Also, USCIS has increased employment place visits for recent GC approvals. :)
Thanks for your answer!^^

What I have heard was they ask for a copy of I-140 approval. No Original needed. Also I don't think you'll get the original I-140 approval, that is a petitioner's document to own. You should be able to get a copy of I-140 from your employer/attorney.
Make sure to get the original approval copy. Not the courtesy copy. The courtesy copy will clearly state that you cannot get any benefit/proof based on that copy. When you get a copy make an extra copy of it. It will help you for future needs.
Yes for 6+3 year extensions they ask for copy of approved I-140s.
Hope that helps.

Do you have the rejection letter along with the returned application or is that with the lawyer?
IMHO- it will better to resend the application that got rejected- rather than sending a fresh application
I was in a similar situation - when my wifes application was lost
my lawyer suggested- an i agreed- that we wait for her app to show up rather than reconstructing a new one
Also the rejection letter will have complete instructions on how to refile
if for some reason you are not getting cooperation from your lawyer- get a new lawyer- If I were you- I wouldn't try to re-file with a lawyer...

Gurus,
First of all sorry to open a new thread. My PD is March 06 EB2. My i-485 reached uscis on July 2.
Is it advisable to change jobs? I'm planning to join bearing point consulting comp where they would start GC only after one year. As you guys know consulting job is quite unsecured. Only advantage with the new company is career growth.
Or should I wait for the outcome of lawsuit
please advise

Sorry to hear that your wife's 485 application will be denied. I know that once she uses her EAD then she loses her H4 eventhough her passport still has a stamp expiring Feb 08. Since she will definitely be losing her EAD because of AOS denial it will be better for you to apply for her H4 asap. To be on the safe side, always consult a lawyer. Good luck! :)

Employer needs to stop smoking weed and concentrate on work. Jokes apart there was no such proposal ever in pipeline so there is no way anything like this ever was approved. 6 year limit on H1 is a law that cannot be changed by admin process. It needs to pass house & senate. Also 6 year limit makes lot of people go back to home countries and uncle sam can consume their SS & Medicare taxes.

I'm sorry let me re-phrase:
Is there a RISK to file 2 separate petitions (H4 Extension and H1) in the same time frame?
If yes, what's the option?
Should I say to my employer or lawyer (Company 'A') to not to file H4 extension for my wife because of the overlap of time frames?

Hi,
I changed employer in 2010 so my wife got new H4 valid until 03/2013 ( I-94 valid until 03/2013). She traveled to India last year and while returning she did not show her new H4 approval to immigration office so got I-94 until 08/2011 (old H4 was stamped until 08/2011).
My question is does she need to file I-539 for I-94 extension? If yes, process is similar like any other(B1, B2) extension? I appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks,
Venkat.
Thank you all. Visited border protection office and they extended I-94.

My Green card is in the processing and I-140 was approved in Dec 2007. The priority date is in Jun 2007 and EB2 category. Applied for renewal of EAD and AP recently.
I am on H1b and it is due for renewal in 3 months. I will be on H1b for 4 1/2 yrs by that time.
I hope h1b will be issued for 3 yrs since pending 485 for more than a year.
I think renewing is helpful just in case if there is any issue with 485.
1. Is it worth to renew H1b?
2. How much will it cost to renew H1b?
3. Since the h1b is issued for 3 yrs based on pending 485. If any issue with 485 will it impact H1b?
Thanks in advance.

these things are like taking a duck to the pond ... for a Desi..
Yes, that's so true. But ensure, the duck is on a leash. otherwise it may never get back and make you wait at the shore forever....( Case in point, hard earned/saved money in stock market and unaffordable home.....waiting for ever for the recovery)

I see a lot of members being more passive.
What we would like to do is, if you an idea we are willing to listen. Before that, we would also like to share in this "Meet & Greet" event what IV has done so far and its accomplishments.
Lot of members proably look at IV as a forum where just threads are being created to discuss their problems.
But IV is not a just a web-site. IV has more out-reaching efforts to resolve the problem of backlog of employment-based green cards.
If you are from Long Island and you feel you would like to do something to resolve this immigration crisis, align yourself in this thread.
I hope more smaller "meet & greet" is the only way to lead ourselves to the "BIG RALLY" / "BIG INTIATIVE" what everyone wants. Without grassroots effort, a RALLY or any other BIG INITIATIVE is not going to happen.
We can only look at EADs for two years or Advance Parole cards come in package with the EAD without grassroot efforts. But if you want to bypass all these smaller incentives and look at the end result of getting your green cards, join your state chapters.

Hi,
I am a US citizen and my mom has been coming to the US once every 3-4 years for the last 15 years on a visitor visa (around 5-6 times). Each time, we had no issue in extending her stay, but her extension got denied yesterday. While I could have applied for her GC, she really did not prefer to apply for a GC since she wanted to spend more time in India than here.
My questions are as follows:
1. I have not got the official letter yet (had email notification), but is there really anything we can do to appeal her extension denial. I think I pretty much sent everything I could possibly can - letter with reasons similar to earlier extensions, return ticket itinerary, affidavit of support, bank statements etc. Another reason we gave is that she cannot travel alone - and my brother is leaving to India in 2 months and she wants to go back with him. I dont know what else we can say to extend her stay.
2. My mom is around 75 years old, and we really don't want to explore the option of leaving within 10 days (she never visited my brother in the last 5 years and she is with him now for only the last 2 weeks after a cross-country flight and recuperating). What I would like to know is - how soon can she safely leave. I think my mom is pretty much done with the US - and doesnt care if she gets a 3 year ban. But - I would like to know if there is any issue if she leaves in 2-3 months (i.e. overstay by 2 months considering the date she got her denial). Will they know at the US airport where she leaves, that she overstayed and (possibly) detain her for questioning. I know there are some airports that require you to document that you left by using a thumb-print.
3. 6 months+ overstay = 3 year ban. < 6 months overstay = ? (is this at the discretion of the POE officer? Can he deny entry - which would be kind of the worst possible future situation, but would like to know so that we can take as much of an informed decision as possible.
4. Can I apply for her GC now to keep her stay legal? Again, even if I apply - she is GOING back to India in 2 months and I will likely need to withdraw her application later.
Any advice on her options is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi,
I have applied my I-485 (EB3, PD - 2004 Feb) last week. Planning to file EB2 PERM with the same employer next week for porting the EB3 dates. My doubts are
1) Can we file an interim application at I-485 stage for porting the EB3 priority date for EB2, rather than filing a second I-485?
2) After the EB2 I-140 approval, do we need to wait for my priority dates to become current for submitting the interim application for EB2 I-485?
3) I am doing this for getting the GC comparitively earlier. But is there any issues/threats for doing like this?
Gurus, please comment the pros and cons of this.

One can have more than one H1B at a time. So you can ask the second company file for transfer too. If you worry about the first petition, and you feel comfortable to do so, talk about it with the attorney of the second company. Or, you can call USCIS and ask a immigration officer.
I joined a new employer in May and also had applied for H1B transfer at that time. Now I have a very good offer from another firm but my first H1B transfer is still pending. The new offer is much more rewarding financially. Is it possible to apply for H1 B transfer to the new employer without jeopardizing my H1B status. Please note that I got laid off in April and I was in a hurry to get the new job then, it was also about just over a month when I applied for my H1B transfer since losing that job so I am kind of nervous about the results from USCIS.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions, friends!

I have a valid H1-B visa till November 2011from Company A. I joined Company B in July 2009. I have got my Company B approval notice I-797 from USICS.
Due to my fathers health I'm travelling to Pakistan in October for a one week vacation. I have my approval notice from Company B and the visa transfer is done. My new approval notice is till June 2012.
My question is do I have to go for stamping when I go to Pakistan because I changed companies even though I have a valid visa from my previous company and an approval notice from my current company?
I will highly appreciate your Quick help in this regards.

You are not supposed to work on EAD until unless it�s renewed that is sure, you can work on H1B for your H1B employer if H1B is not revoked.
I suggest a attorneys advice on H1B once.
