Hello,
Sorry to read that! May your son have a speedy recovery...
Here are some considerations:
IF you are laid off .... in this economy, if you are still holding your job, then the chances of you losing it are low, so be optimistic.
But, in case you are laid off:
a) How would you support yourself and family in US plus your son's medical bills? Wouldn't it be cheaper to be in your home country (unless it is UK/Europe)?
b)The only visa that I can think of is the visitor visa, but on that visa, you can stay in US only 6-m at a time
Good luck!

I believe it is a bad thing that the loan from Indian banks does not show up on US credit reports. Also people should disclose what all current loan payments they are making before they can take up a new loan. Otherwise it would be lying.

Thanks a lot for giving a reply on time.
I hope you realise this is a serious issue. You need to find out from your employer who filed your H1 whether he filed it as a "Change of Status" (COS) petition or "Visa to be issued abroad category".
If it was a H1 COS petition, then you have been accruing unlawful H1 status since your H1 start date as your status automatically changed from H4 to H1 (assuming your approval came with an attached I-94). In this case, you need to get back to H4 status. You can do that by re-entering US on a valid H4 visa (preffered way) or by filing a new H1 to H4 COS petition.
If your H1 petition was not filed under COS (filed under Visa to be issued abroad category), then you are still on H4 status (assuming you have been maintaining a valid H4) and there is nothing you need to do. If you want to convert to H1, then you need to go to a consulate mentioned on your H1 application, attend the H1 interview and re-enter US using H1 stamp.
Hope this helps and you take the necessary action.

Hi, I have an approved I 140 (EB3) and my priority date is Nov 2007. I have a Canadian PR and my employer has agreed to let me work from our Canada Office. My question is, what should I do when/if my priority date becomes current while we are in Canada ? Should we come back to USA on visitors visa and apply for AOS or should be go for Consular Processing ? What are the pros and cons of each approach ?

This shouldn't cause any problem... My GC was approved in August while i was in India. On my return two weeks after the approval, the officer allowed me in on AP. I showed him the printouts of my approval email and he said you can use your green card next time you go out of the country.
Hope you get your approval soon

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
Effective January 21, 2010, the Department of Labor's iCERT online system will be updated to allow the submission of electronic prevailing wage determination requests. This electronic process will allow Employers and/or their Designated Representatives to submit and obtain prevailing wage determinations (PWD) for use in the H-1B, H-1B1 (Chile/Singapore), H-1C, H-2B, E-3 (Australia), and permanent labor certification programs through the iCERT portal.
Until January 21, 2010, all prevailing wage determination requests must continue to be submitted by U.S. Mail or comparable physical delivery service to the Washington, D.C. address listed below.
BACKGROUND - On December 19, 2008, the Department published a Final Rule addressing the Labor Certification Process and Enforcement for Temporary Employment in Occupations Other Than Agriculture or Registered Nursing in the United States (H-2B Workers), and Other Technical Changes. The Final Rule implemented a federalized process for obtaining PWD requests for use in the H-2B temporary nonagricultural labor certification program directly from the Employment and Training Administration's (ETA) appropriate National Processing Center (NPC)--which was designated as the Chicago NPC.
Furthermore, effective as of January 1, 2010, the Final Rule also federalized PWD for use in the H-1B, H-1B1 (Chile/Singapore), H-1C, E-3 (Australia), and the permanent labor certification programs.
Requestors must submit PWD requests using the Application for Prevailing Wage Determination, Form ETA-9141 (http://www.h1bvisalawyerblog.com/Prevailing%20wage%20Request%20FORM.pdf).
Requestors must submit PWD requests to the NPWHC by U.S. Mail or comparable physical delivery service at the following address until January 21, 2010 when electronic means are available:
U.S. Department of Labor-ETA, National Prevailing Wage and Helpdesk Center,
Attn: PWD Request:
1341 G Street, NW
Suite 201
Washington, DC 20005-3142
In summary, State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) and the Chicago NPC no longer accept and process PWD requests received on and after January 1, 2010. All PWD Requests submitted on and after 1/1/2010 must be centralized and processed at the DOL Washington, D.C. office until electronic means are available on January 21, 2010.

I am planning to get my H1 stamped during my next trip to India and have a couple of questions
1) Have anyone used Yourmaninindia or Sahara Care or any other service to deposit H1 forms at VFS Mumbai. For Mumbai consulate, the forms need to be submitted 3 days prior to Visa Interview and they do not accept courier :mad:
2) I recently found that if you have an appointment at one of the consulates in Mexico, you can Fax the 797 and get PMIS verified in advance.
Do we need to submit the entire H1 fee for appointment ? If there is a cheaper way, I am thinking of taking an appointment , get PMIS verified and cancel the appointment.
3) Any idea if they do a PMIS verification for H1 extensions (same company) as well ?
I am hoping this helps. My H1 renewal 7th year came through in December effective January 10 2010. I was at the Mumbai consulate interviewing for H1 visa on January 21st and received my passport in hand in 3 business days.

I was born in Bangladesh and during my childhood I moved to India. In all my documents like school leaving certificate and Indian passport, the birth place is mentioned as India. I do not have any birth certificate either from Bangladesh or India and my plan is to use affidavit and non-availability certificate in lieu of birth certificate issued from municipality or other authorized body. In my entire US visa processing documents and petitions like H1B, I-140 etc. my birth places is mentioned as India. Can I still claim Bangladesh as the chargeable country for the purpose of visa allocation during the I-485 stage? If I claim Bangladesh to be my country of birth, will this be viewed as if I have provided wrong information in my earlier petitions? What could be other consequences?

It should not. Go to the any INS office after you arrange for an appointment on line and ask tehm to replace your I-94 and to write the correct name.
Your case has been approved and tehre is nothing to do other than the above. My son been thru teh same process and when he applied for the visa abroad nobody asked him him at all about the error.
relax.
I recently changed my job, after getting a receipt from new employer. But I noticed that the attorney has done a typo in my middle name. she added 1 extra letter in the middle. can anyone please let me know if this would create any problem for me getting the H1B transfer approval and what is the way to correct it? Since I have already left my old job, I am kind of worried. Please reply back if anyone has come accross or aware of such case.
Thanks.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has launched its newly re-designed Web site (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis). Although the Web site update was scheduled to be introduced September 22, 2009, attorney Eugenia Ponce visited the site Monday and has this report:
The updated Web site is organized according to categories.The categories are displayed as Topics, Forms, Resources, Laws, News, and About Us. The topics are categorized as follows: Adoption, Permanent Residence, Humanitarian, Citizenship, Members of the Military and Their Family, Family, Visit the U.S., Working in the U.S, and Genealogy. After clicking on a specific topic, I was provided helpful information and even more additional information was available through the links on the left of the screen.The advantage of categorizing the information by topic is that individuals are now able to familiarize themselves with the process from start to finish. There are other helpful links and tools within each specific topic.
Another key feature to the Web site is that there is a “where to start” link. Before, individuals could navigate throughout the Web site not knowing where to even begin their search on a narrow issue. Now, the “where to start link” will allow individuals to begin their immigration search by narrowing it down to their specific issue. For instance, there is a scroll-down available for individuals under the “where to start” link. It states “I Am,” and one can select from the various choices available and get specific information relating to any issue.
Given the new era with text messaging (even various airline companies provide flight and gate status information through text messaging), USCIS has upgraded its site by adding a link that allows individuals to receive case status updates via text messages. The newly designed site has provided a one-stop resource center for individuals with specific queries and I am excited in navigating throughout their links. Visit the newly re-designed USCIS Web site (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis) and see the improvements for yourself.

Hi,
I have an EAD (over a year now since I-140 approved), but never used it. Now, that Iam planning to switch my employer I have some questions about using EAD
1. Is it Mandatory to file AC21? No
2. Is AC21 required for each contract switch ? (Suppose Contract is W2), if so, wouldnt that be hard and expensive to file for every 3 or 6 months projects? "contract". You are doomed. GC is for "permanant full time" offer. So, new job based on AC21 should also be "permanant full time". If USCIS knows that you are working on a cotracr for a short term; wait for 485 denial notice.
3. Can I work on 1099? 1099 is a self-employed catagory. You can still use AC21, and self employed. Refer USCIS memos regarding AC21 and self employment.
Thanks in Advance....

Hi,
We (me and my wife) have received RFEs to submit G-325A forms on 9/24/09 and our lawyer submitted the requested documents last week on 10/20/09, on the next day USCIS online status changed to "We have received RFEs documents and this case processing has resumed........" on very next day 10/22/09 online status changed to "RFEs sent......."
Now we (me and my wife) and our lawyer received same RFEs again thoguh our lawyer submitted requested documents.
Please share your thoughts on how should i go from here...should i submit documents again?? or should i take an info pass and try to find out whats gaing on with our cases?
Thanks in advance
chintainfogc
I would go ahead and submit the documents again to be on the safe side. Not sure if taking Infopass would be of any help to you in this case. You dont want to take chances and risk getting a I-485 denial on the grounds of not responding to RFE. If I were you, I would send them the docs again.

Hello all,
Is there any california chapter esp in Nor Cal.
We have to unite EB3 Guys and strike hard!!!

Please provide me information on California chapter. I have just joined IV.
I believe it is high time to fight back.
(btw if anybody wants to have vonage $24.99, please let me know. I can refer you)
