I and my family have to travel to India urgently due to medical urgency. Our only AP document was taken last year and this year the renewal is not yet done. We are using our EAD status and H1 is expired and no longer available.
Is there a way I can get an emergency appt and a AP travel document. if yes, what do I need to do to get that.
If this question has been answered earlier, can someone point to the right source.
Thanks in advance.
Check with the lawyer first...I don't think you can apply for AP while you are outside U.S. I know for sure, Reentry permit will be denied if you apply from outside U.S. I am not sure if it's the same for AP. Incidentally, you use the same 131 form for both...
So check with a lawyer before you act based on the advice from the forum, even if it means shelling some money...That money will be well spent...

I have received my green card 5 months ago and still working for the same GC filing employer(a consulting company). My wife had an RFE on her GC, since she could not take MMR at 2007 fiasco time. We have recently replied with the evidence. Now my project is getting over at the client site in next couple of weeks. I am sure that I can lose my job at consulting company also.
My question is, what happens to wife's GC? What if there is another RFE and how can I reply it?
Please let me know my options.
Since you are the primary applicant and a Legal Permanent Resident - Offically!!!
i do not see any implications to your spouse's application.

I live in New jersey and send my EAD renewal to Nebraska based on my I-485. When i read the instructions, I found out that the application has to go to Texas based to the state where i am in now.
I would appreciate if anyone had same experience and share it with us.
Thank you

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!!!!

Can a felony conviction by a sponsor affect the person being sponsored? If they get deported will it result in any punitive action against the person being sponsored? Is there a time limit where a sponsor can't affect the person being sponsored by committing a crime?

Please Advice.

Basically, I think your labor can be re-appealed but it is a waste of time. It's better to work with your lawyer and get the job duties tick and tied with the paper filing. Nowadays there are lots of audit in the PERM system.

Another substitute case...
Any reason you went for substitute labor instead of your own?
I applied for I-140 in July 2007 using a substitute labor EB2 (from a different company) with a priority date of Nov 2005 and it got approved in May 2008.
During the same July fiasco, my employer at that time applied for I-485 with a priority date of August 2006.
I didn't apply for priority date porting after the substitute labor I-140 got approved because I didn't have the approval notice.
I read somewhere that even though I didn't apply for porting of the date, USCIS will consider the earlier date. How far is this true? How can I find out my correct priority date?
Thank you
Note: I already posted this in 'August Bulletin Out - EB2 India 01MAR06' but discussion there is totally different. So, posted a new thread.

H1B Immigrants are fighting with each other on websites and here antis are discussing this
First of all, is your profile legitimate? It shows your PD as Dec'07 / EB3/India and you are in 485 processing??????
anyway, as long as some fools doesn't admit the facts and realize the changing world, all those forums / blogs / hatred etc; will be just a waste of their time. ofcourse they have been wasting watching stupid games in TVs / Stadiums instead could use 'that' time to gain some new skills / learn new technologies that are required to survive in the job market.

Anti trust lawsuits are brought about when it is found that a company or institution is using it's power of monopoly to bring in anti-competitive measures. In this case, which institution is using it's monopoly - the government?

Hi,
I am working for "Company A" on L1B from Nov 2006. In 2008 April "Company B" filed H1B and it got approved and received approval letter with I-94 effective from Oct 1st 2008.
After getting H1B I did not move to Company B and continued work with "Company A" on L1B Visa. To void the I-94 received with my H1B Approval I traveled my Home country on Sep 28th 2008 and returned to US on Oct 6th 2008 on L1B visa and continuing my Job with "Company A"
My H1B Employer (Company B) did not revoke my H1B since I have not started working for him.
Now Company B is going to renew my L1B visa for another 2 years.
If they renewed my L1B Visa, what will happen to my H1B?
In future if I want to switch to H1B, can i switch to H1B with my current H1B or do I need to file new H1B with fresh quota (Which opens in April)?
I am really tensed now and I am not understanding whether I should go for L1B extension or do I need to switch to H1B immediately to keep my H1B status alive? What I want to now is for some time i want to continue my job with Company A on L1B by going for L1B renewal and later once the recession is over I want to change my status to H1B? can I do this?
Please advice me what steps I should take to continue in USA?

Hello,
I have a h1b stamping appointment at the Chennai Consulate on the 29th of Nov.
I am in my 7th yr of h1b.My 3 yr extension has been approved based on aprroved I-140.
I have a question on the approved I-140.I do not have the original I-797 for my I-140 approval.
Will I need it for the interview?
I have the original I-797 for the h1b extension approval but not for the I-140.I only have a copy.
My company immigration team said its not needed.
is this correct?
Thanks,
arthi

The US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has issued new guidance (http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/health_care_occupations_20may09.pdf)on the standards for adjudicating H-1B petitions filed on behalf of beneficiaries seeking employment in a health-care specialty occupation.
The memo suggests that adjudicators should first consult the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics� Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) to determine whether the position qualifies as a H-1B "specialty occupation" as defined in the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The memo addresses licensing requirements for health-care workers in detail, and the effect of having a license - or not having a license - on approval of a case. If the foreign national has the required license, the adjudicator should not "look beyond the license." If the foreign national has a restricted license (e.g., license approved except for mandatory supervised practice), and the petition is otherwise approvable, an adjudicator should approve the petition for one year, or the duration of the restricted license, whichever is longer.
If the employee does not have the license because s/he needs certain immigration documents before getting a license, CIS can approved the petition for one year. The memo says that "The approval of any such H-1B petition shall not constitute approval by USCIS for the alien beneficiary to engage in any activity requiring possession of such State or local license. It is merely a means to facilitate the state or local licensing authority�s issuance of such a license to the alien, provided all other requirements are satisfied."
