My son was on B1 and then on H4. B1 was stamped in 2000 for 10 years. He was with me in US for 4 years and had 1 stamping of H4 in his passport after 2000. He moved to Canada in 2005 but still visits me on B1 which was issued to him before his H4 stamping and B1 was never cancelled. I am not sure about L1..
RV
When I went for H1B stamping my B1 was cancelled and I was told one can not have more than one visa at the same time.

you should use another attorney. How can you go to your employer's attonery(even though he represents you) and ask about taking another job?. Its same as asking your employer.:eek:
Thanks for your response. I actually work for a community mental health agency that does not have an attorney. The attorney I am working with is someone I found on my own with no ties to my company until I asked that she represent me in my green card process.

hi,
I am confused about whether to suggest 'member of the professions holding an advance degree" or "an alien of exceptional ability" for my NIW petition. What is the criteria to select one over the other? I have a MS/PhD from a US university. Proving to be exceptional is certainly difficult, but then holding an advanced degree may not be enough of a criteria for a successful petition.
Thanks.

Gurus,
I currently have an EAD (Received it in September 07) and my PD is July 2003 and I am on EB3. I am close to getting an offer with another company and I have a few questions:
1. My EAD is up for renewal and will there be any problems renewing it If either I am with a new employer or in between jobs when the application is being submitted?
2. My current employer will hand me my I-140. Can I restart my GC process with my new employer and still maintain my old PD of July 2003?
3. If I restart my GC process, do I have to start my Labor and I-140 as well or do I just re-file my 485?
Thank You for answering my questions.

1. My EAD is up for renewal and will there be any problems renewing it If either I am with a new employer or in between jobs when the application is being submitted?
-- No.
2. My current employer will hand me my I-140. Can I restart my GC process with my new employer and still maintain my old PD of July 2003?
-- You do not have to restart anything if it has been 180 days since 485 filing and I assume it is the case as you have an EAD since last year.
3. If I restart my GC process, do I have to start my Labor and I-140 as well or do I just re-file my 485?
-- You are fine as you are. There is need to restart anything. The provision is called AC21 and you can google it for more info.

To hell with the checks and all, if you are all legit, there is absolutely no need to worry, people are ready to go back and not rot with this economy, increasing this intrusive checks will make people more averse towards H1 , which might help the local folks finds jobs, but it will adversely impact the economy of this country. I guess it has to be this way.

For those who think that this is good and will not affect them -
What we are hearing now in the news is just the tip of the iceberg. It is just ground work to justify tougher measures against employment based immigration. If it continues, CIR will be passed giving path to citizenship to ILLEGAL immigrants without any measure for employment based immigration. Remember, the only folks who have been in influential position to support EB immigration has been big businesses (like Microsoft, Oracle) and AILA. With the rising unemployment rate, nobody will listen to these businesses. With the indictment of (even a few) cases of H-1B fraud, AILA will not be able to fight the impending tsunami against legal employment based immigrants.
If we don't do anything, illegals will be citizens while people with H-1 and even EAD will be forced to go back. This is the beginning of the end to employment based immigration.

it is good if you can save some money. Make sure the print quality is good and meets the specifications.
We had our passport photos taken from Walgreens to file for AP. USCIS sent me an RFE requesting photos. I was not sure what was wrong the first time. I got the next set of photos done from the postoffice.
We did not take any shortcuts but still got an RFE for photos.
All i am saying is make sure you have good quality photos that meet the specs when you try doing it yourself.

This is Off-Topic, sorry about that, but this is the best forum i could think of to ask this:
My father-in-law is visiting us from India, and he is thinking of driving a car here. He drives in India and I think in a couple of weeks (with maybe 2-3 classes with some instructor) he should get the hang of driving. Are there any risks that anyone knows of with this? (if he makes a mistake and ends up in an accident I understand that we end up being personally liable and can even be sued if there is an injured party).
Edit: This is in California

Hi,
I have completed 6 years on my H1 and then got a 3 year extension as my 140 was approved when I applied for H1 renewal. This is all with my current company where I am working on H1 and they have applied for my GC also. I also have a valid EAD till 2010 which I am not using currently.
If I get a new job, can I transfer my H1 and still keep my GC process going on or do I have to switch to using EAD at the new job instead of H1 ?
Basically, am wondering if we can transfer H1 and that way have a backup just in case of any issues with EAD.
Thanks for your advice !

Guys, Sorry for my ignorance but
I was checking vfs-usa.co.in website and in "Immigrant Visas for East & West " section, its written
An immigrant visa allows the person receiving it to live and work indefinitely in the United States. Immigrant visas are issued based on approved I-129F, I-130, I-140, I-360, or I-600 petitions that establish a family- or employment-based relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary.
I have my I140 approved through a american company and my h1b is getting expired in june 09.
According to above wordings, I can get a visa to live and work indefinitely,based on my approved I140. I have never heard about it.
Might be some one can explain what is exactly means.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Having an approved I-140 does not mean you can 'indefinetely' work and live here automatically.
It is ONE of the steps to clear on the road to legal immigration.
Please consult your lawyer and he should direct you as to what to do next.......

Now I have seen many people filed on June 2007 get GC approvals. Now onwards their number is keep on increasing. Please put your details on this thread to see the trend. I think all Jun 2007 filers will get GC for the 2008 quota. Provided their I-140 is approved and NC is cleared.
