You still have to go through an attorney but I think you are fine as long as you went out of USA and got in after your H1-B approval in 2003.
I think legal stay is counted from the last entry.
Hi all;
Questions if anyone has ever seen an RFE like this one.
My first RFE was asking for all documents related to work authorized by USCIS.
I think I responded properly and provided all documents requested.
Then another RFE just came in end of April mail asking for the following.
Please provide all school transcripts during your F1 student status.
Now I am dummy because up until about few days ago I just realized I made big mistake!
I have gap (7 months) from when I finished school (mid 2002) and when I was approved my H1B (Jan 2003)
I should have went on OPT after school but mistake I think I could wait pending my H1B application. I did not work during that 7 month period and stupid me did not go to school during that 7 month period in end 2002.
Any good lawyers in San Jose area think I can pass with a letter of explanation?

Yes I have been in US since 1991. Here is my story.
1991 1996 - Did Bachelors in US.
1996 -1998 - Masters
1999 - 2009 - On H1. Have been with same firm for over 10 yrs though I have had several promotions. Always kept H1 though spouse started working on EAD in Jan 2009.
Its been some wait. There have been time I felt so frustrated with this process I literally cried or felt like punching someone.
I wont really believe till I have card in my hand. Difficult to trust USCIS.
congrats dude. ur pd should be 1991 instead of 2001. You really deserve it. have fun.

Thank you for your reply!
My H1B is with the same employer for whom I have been authorized to work. I have never changed employers - have been with the same employer since 2002. My current H1B is valid till May 2011.
Well, hopefully my AOS will be approved.
Can you please tell how long should I wait before contacting USCIS (Infopass) with regards to the status of my case? 30 days? 45 days?
In case this get denied - should I refile or appeal? The IO had told me that I can re-file if it gets denied due to abandonment. Will re-filing create any problems?
Again, thanks a lot for taking time and replying to my earlier question!

Hello,
Here is my situation.
- I'm under EB2 - RoW category. My I-140 just got approved and I was preparing to file for my I-485 (current)
- I went to the Bahamas last week to get my 3 year H1B renewal stamping but it was denied due to employer issues and I was forced to go back to India.
- Now I cant go back to US to file my 485. My company is still offering to help me on my GC.
I'm still reeling from the shock of my H1B denial. What are my options now?
Is Consular processing the way to go? Will loosing my H1B status have any effect on CP?
Should I start CP immediately or can I wait a few months to try to get back to the US on a new H1B?
Can anyone point me to some online materials detailing CP.
Thanks in advance.

I bought some UNITS from UNIT TRUST OF INDIA for my daughter when she was 1 year old back in India.
Do I need to report this as student asset? where does this asset fit in?
I am also facing all of the above issues for my daughter's college admission.

irrational - Sorry to say this is little bit unlucky case. This happened to me also. My case got transferred to VSC from TSC in July 2009 and from then it is sitting there with no progress. Taken info pass but no use. (Yet to think about the next steps!).
I applied for EAD and AP in Aug last week and got the approved copies in Sep second week. I sent the application to TSC.
mmanurker - Can you please tell me how long your application was present in VSC? Also did you do anything to move it back to TSC or NSC.
My little daughter's got shuffled from TSC-VSC (NBC?) and after several months got a mail transferred back to TSC. I talked with IO twice, one time I was told they got it back in last oct and this evening I wanted to know if it is pre-adjudicated, IO said it does not show in their system....To follow it is so frustrating

USCIS will attempt to reconcile multiple 485s and combine them into one app. A lot depends on the A# assigned(should be present on the 485 receipt). If both your receipts show the same Alien number then you should be ok. If not that goes to the 'admin processing' procedure.
Even if your A# is same on both 485s, you should call USCIS and check to see if both the apps have been combined. That way once one of your 485s is approved the other will be given a NOID and you can withdraw the other app.
NOTE: On your one of your 485 appl, you should have marked yes for the question regarding previous/other 485s.

Thank you all for your valuable input. I have a follow up question :
Will I be breaking any laws if I just do voluntary marketing and promotional work for my company in India.
Here is the situation :
My clients will be in USA and they will be paying my company in India. I will be on the board of the company , and will be doing voluntary marketing and promotional work for the company while residing in USA.
Thank you for your time.
--On a lighter note. Let me handle your finances in India. You can work here on H1B.

Sounds like a great positive move with Patton Boggs
I don't think that I appreciate your sarcasm. First and foremost, you gotta understand that there are NO guarantees in life. Can sen Kennedy or the majority leader gurantee that the bill can pass? No.
Even the president can't guarantee that the bill will be passed.
We can give our best shot and hope for the best.
Therefore I'd request that you please refrain from spreading negative energy around and focus on the current action items.

:( :( unfortunatelly I don't have 140 copy. :( It seems I can't do anything in this case.
I think you can file an FOIA (freedom of information act) form to get copy of your 140 approval from USCIS. The only problem is that it will take some time to do that.
However, do it in any case. You will need that 140 approval later on, even for filing H1 transfer after your intial 6 years are gone.
Guys and gals: Please use all tactics possible and all negotiating powers possible to get copies of approvals from your employers for your file. Whether its 140 or H1, you should have copies of them. The copies are not employer's properties. The petitions are. A photocopy is a piece of paper that says something. If you have photocopy, doesnt mean you own that H1 or 140. Dont fall for this bullshit that "H1 and 140 are properties of the employer so we cant give it to you". BULLSHIT. If someone has a photocopy of the title of my car, does it mean that he owns that car?? NO. I still own it. Anyone can have a photocopy of it. In fact, DMV does have a copy of it. HAVING XEROX COPIES DONT IMPLY TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OR OWNERSHIP OF PETITIONS.
PLEASE FIGHT THIS BULLSHIT AND TRY TO GET OUT OF THE MESS.
There is a provision in CIR that's pending that makes it mandatory for employers to share all immigration paperwork photocopies with employees. That proves that ITS COMMON SENSE that it should be done if its not already done by some crooked employers.

Agreed.
Unfotunately, there is no way to poll more than one option.
More than Salary its location which matters.

Well, doing it on my own isn't a problem. It's just that my employer is a behemoth and has ironclad policies.
Having said that, filing fees for EAD extension are $340 and for AP $305 per applicant, right?
Now I'll try my best to get EAD/AP extended either by me or the employer but if that doesn't happen (say my employer says it's our policy for you not to do it on your own), will a gap in EAD/AP create problems?
Thanks.
Maverick_2008
The gap by itself is not a problem. However, an abrupt termination or something similar can create trouble as applying for an EAD at that time and waiting for an approval will take months and cause a lot of stress. It can be painful enough to regret every morning the decision to not extend the EAD just to save $600.
If you do not have a copy of your 485 notice, then you cannot extend your EAD. But if you have it (you should), then it is your property and your employer has no say in this matter. Remember that the H-1b and 140 belong to the employer, but 485/EAD/AP are your own.

Hi,
I just got my 2nd 3 year extension (Nov 2006 to Nov 2009) on my H1B after completing six years.
My PD is June 2005 and I-140 approved on July 2006. I am thinking of
changing my job. I am puzzling about the following questions:
1. Can I change the job and use my 3 year extension for the next job?
2. Can I keep my PD of June 2005 if my current employer doesn't revoke
my I-140 ?
3. If I apply for GC again with new employer and get my I-140 approved , can
I keep getting 3 year extensions on that job ?
PLEASE HELP!.
Thank you,

I changed address twice since filing my I 485. Both times I e-filed the AR 11 form for myself and my spouse. Also added the I 485 case numbers to it. Both times I received a receipt from USCIS. Also I saw a soft LUD on my application. I did not call any one in USCIS to verify but I have sent copies of the receipt to my lawyer for his records.

Some times airline people don't even bother to collect the I94. It happend to me twice and I still have those old I94s. I think they will just collect it if you have it on the passport. They will scan your password for your depature entry which is more important. I think you should have not any problem.
