Experts:
I am going to apply for my H1 renewal. I have my I-140 approved and I-485 application pending from Aug 2007. Additionally, being from India, my visa number is retrogressed.
I got my first 3 year H1 extention from 2006-2009. Now I am appllying for my next 3 years H1 extention. However, I am seeing USCIS asking for client letter and copy of contract. Additionally, one employee of my company got renewal for 3 months only, since his project was getting over in 3 months.
My company gets Purchase Orders for 1 year duration only from my client, but I have a intent to renewal for up to 3 years. I am about to enter into my 2nd year of contract.
I am working with my lawyer to present my case the best way to ensure that we get a renewal of 3 years. Here is what my lawyer recently stated
>>>>USCIS is simply not approving H1 petitions in the IT consultant field if the Employer cannot show actual bona fide work for the duration of time requested. This arises when USCIS issues a request for evidence specifically asking for such items as contracts and work orders. Furthermore, USCIS specifically requests that the end client confirm work performed as they are the business receiving the benefit of the employer. USCIS deems this requirement as necessary to confirm that the employee is performing work in a specialty occupation as contained in the petition.<<<<<<<<<
However, I thought if any of you guys have any suggestions to ensure that we could get a 3 year extention??

fionaapple20: Safest and clean route is to find an another employer and transfer H1B. Make sure your current employer does not revoke your 140, in case if its not approved. Additionally, it is highly recommended to invoke AC21 after your 140 is approved and 180 days passed.

Our travel doc is expiring in October 2010. My wife would like to travel in Sep and return in Nov/Dec timeframe and now we are waiting since mid July on the renewal. Airfares are already high this year for some reason and we can't make travel plans or book tickets until the last minute. Very frustrating. I remember last year my renewal got approved in less than a month, not sure whats the delay this year...How do we even go about contacting them to expedite?

Create your rectangle with the rectangle tool. Make sure you rasterize the layer first (right click on the layer with the rectangle and choose rasterize).
Now hold CTRL and click on the layer with the retangle. This will select the rectangle. Now go to Edit/Stroke.
Mess with the settings in there and voila, you have a black border around your square.

Canada has been using this for skilled worker program, where individuals can apply for Canadian permanent residency independently if they fullfill the passmark. Other countries like Australia, UK and New Zealand also follow suit with different types of difficulties.
How about US? Would US adopt this?

Yes, as long as the derivative I-485 is submitted before the primary applicant receives approval of his I-485.
Incorrect!
Her I-485 does not need to filed before his I-485 approval. She can file for her I-485 when PD is current and maintaining valid visa status (or out of status < 180 days) at the time of filing of her I-485.

IVians,
Wondering if anyone on this forum at had applied for unemployment benefits in the state PA. My wife who has a dependent AOS pending wnats to file the claim and see if it gets approved.
on PA state Govt. website, it is asking for the Alien registration number(A#?) if the person is not a US citizen.Is it o.k to provide the A# ?? Also, since my spouse worked on 1099-Misc for a while,we don't think they are going to accept our Applictaion to provide unemployment benefits. But we just gonna try and see...
Please advise?
Have you done any homework before asking these questions? Have you called the unemployment office to inquire about her eligibility?
To answer your question,
Yes, it is OK to provide A#. Without the A# they will not be able to check on her immigration status.
You would qualify for Unemployment in PA as long as there is a pending green card application.
Offcourse the applicant should have earned income in the previous year to qualify.
I would highly advise you to contact the unemployement office in your local city and explain your situation and get their advise.

Hello,
I am an F1 visa student and am marrying my sweetheart who is an American citizen. We are planning to pick up the marriage license tomorrow, in MA. I know one of the questions is "residence". Do I put my local residence (I've been here for about 6 years) or my foreign residence? I do not want to jeopardize my status.
Thanks
Congratulations..... this is big deal for each & every human ...... :)
since u'r a student in legal status & u live in US for last 6 yr..... so u've to have a US address..... i think it will be best to put US address..... it will keep things simple..... there is nothing wrong with u having a US address.... becoz u live here......
happy married life.... even though it may sound like an oxymoron ;)

I am not an attorney but questions related to your employer etc should not be asked if you enter on AP. They are more focused on those questions when one enters using a work visa of some sorts. I suggest you enter asap using your AP given that it expires in a month get your green card in hand and then you are free man. You can even go back work out of the country for a limited time until you find a project here. By the way congratulations.

EB2 - Sept 04
As long as you have approval copy on hand, you have nothing to worry. You should be concerned only if the status reads as 'case reopened and pending'

Sorry to hear that...a simple mistake will cause your wait to become longer. I hope your lawyer or company compensated you for all the expenses you incurred during that period. It was truly frustrating.
