Hello,
I am on h1b visa (approved & stamped) and its expiring this Oct'10 (I-94 also expiring in Oct) and due for an extension but here's my problem.
Company A filed my petition in a wrong way in 2007 by showing the job title as "mechanical engineering position" though i was working as Analyst in IT. So if company A files my extension now how likely are my chances of getting my extension approved? as there was no amendment submitted by A for a change in my job title. The below are my options so would really appreciate if you all can suggest and share your thoughts?
1. Go for a H1B extension from Company A itself and if RFE/Denied, can i then proceed with a H1B transfer from Company B? Confused here in figuring out that if my extension is denied will i loose my status and am i eligible to file a new petition as a transfer from Company B?
2. Or directly go for a H1B transfer from a new Company B, this way will i have lesser risk in getting rejected?
It is really tough to get extension for an IT position. consult a lawyer

HI,
I recently booked an appointment for visiting visa for my parents through vfs, during the process , I first entered my Dad's details and then his ds 156, then It asked if I wanted to add additional family members, then I entered my Mom's details and her ds 156 . After that it asked for my Mom's ds 157 and never showed my Dad's ds 157.
So the final list of documents it generated was :
Dad's ds 156, Mom's ds 156,157 , interview letter.
Is this correct, does my dad need ds 157 and interview letter or is 1 ds 157 and interview letter enough ?
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
I recently traveled to Canada by land for 1 week . When I went to Canada the canadian authorities did not take my I 94. When I returned from canada, the US officials did not give me a new I 94, will this be a problem ?
Thank you for your time.

I am currently working as a Functional Solution Architect in an IT firm.
Current Status: H1B (6th year)
GC status as follows:
Priority Date: April 2007
EAD received: October 2007
I-140 is approved.
Under the AC21 portability I believe I can change my employer without affecting my GC process. However I want to change my field of work from IT to Finance. My question is:
1. Is that permissible and can I use my EAD to work for a new employer in a different field.
2. If the above is not permissible and If I change my job in the same field, can my previous employer cancel my GC process, even though my I-140 is approved. If they can, how can I mitigate that possibility.
Thanks in advance for your response.

so filing I-130 altogether is a new process and filing I-130 will not change my PD for EB3.
Thanks

A friend of mine is going through this and I am posting on his behalf while he is really stressing it out. Any help would be very much appreciated.
He got his H1B through this consulting firm last April in effect from Oct 01, 2008. He finished his masters here in the US in April. He made himself available to the employer and was searching for work all summer. His employer asked him to clear a few certifications in a field unfamiliar to him. My friend took certifications but also has been on a look out for any new opportunities given the tough market.
He recently found one and is looking to switch his H1B. Now that his current employer has found out about this, he totally freaked out threatening to cancel his H1B.
Things to note:
- My friend has not been paid by his current employer. So no pay-stubs what so ever
- He had signed a contract for 2 years and some ridiculous amount of money towards damages in case he leaves
What are his options now? What if the employer sends H1B cancellation before he gets to file a new petition through the new company? Can anyone please help?
Thank you

I was advised by my lawyer that entering on h1 does not affect a pending 485 AOS application.
So I entered on H1.
No issues encountered.

Hi guys,
My PD is current and my I-140 approved. I received below RFE on my pending I-485 related to my name listed differently on documents.
RFE words are listed below.
NAME DIFFERENCE:
Submit documentary evidence to establish that Pravin Bhalla, Pravinkumar Bhalla and Praveenkumar Bhalla are the same person. The most persuasive evidence is photo identification in each name. If the last name is different due to marriage, submit the marriage certificate. Note: Affidavits will not be considered primary evidence.
I don't have a lawyer for my I-485. Any help on how to answer this REF will be great help.
Thank you in advance for your response.
