Hi,
My client is a TARP fund received bank.I am planning to go India for 3 weeks in may.My visa expires in Aug09.
I have new H1 extension for 3 years.
--If I go for visa stamping will it be a problem as I am workig for TARP received bank.
--If I don't go for visa stamping and planning to comeback with old visa, will it be a problem at Port Of Entry as my client is TARP received bank and I am on H1B.
Here is a link to the 'official' USCIS requirements. A poster in the morning put it up but unfortunately it did not get the attention it deserved.

Guys!! I have no idea what can bring sense to all of us and unify our voice. America is not our " Fathers or In -Laws " house to give or grant what we want. There is a reason behind why STEM has been established...because there is a shortage for highly skilled and intellectual people. They dont need any software engineers because the golden period of 90s for tech boom is done....now the boom is in BANGALORE!!! So guys jobs have been outsourced and there is no big demand for the techies...and we all know it..DONT WE??? Coming to MBA's i have mentioned this in my earlier post too, there are so many MBAs already here and nstead of mindlessly saying we want MBA's included or we should get EADs for H4 or the next Pope should be an H1B waiting for GC!!!
We should concentrate on efficency of USCIS, increasing the number of Visas rather than adding clauses based on our whims and fancies. America needs Engineers, Scientists, Mathematicians, Biologists, Professors who will bring about innovation and be involved in research because thats what drives a country. What can we techies contribute other than programming which by the way people in INDIA are doing for less if not any better.
Just by paying taxes we cant call what they are doing is unjust against human rights ...etc How many of us tried to write or call our own Netas in India against corruption or any other slight problem.When we didnt exercise our right there...this country is not even ours how can we expect them to show pity on us and include the clauses we want. We have to our earn the rights to get permanent residency and for that if one has to get a Masters Degree maybe thats the price.
A lot of Students come to America on F1 by spending on an average $15000 t0 $20000K and sometimes more and after the downturn when there were no jobs some of these students even paid for a second masters and even Phds without aid when we in california raked in sign in bonuses and all other moolah. Maybe this is the pay back time for people with advanced degrees and lets all accept it gracefully. I know each of us want to continue to live the good old American dream but although the truth is bitter lets be rational with our demands and work towards an educated goal.

I went out of the country for 7 weeks on vacation and just came back on new years eve, Port of entry: Chicago, the IO (real gentleman) needed only the passport and the AP, did the usual verifications and gave the new I-94, max 10mins.
Note: I also had all the supporting documents which Vin13 mentioned. Thou the IO didnt ask for these documents, its good to have them handy, avoids lots of trouble on both ends.
Have a safe trip.

Need some advice from you all. I concurrently filed for me and my wife's I-485 along with EAD, AP and I-140 for each on Jan, 2007. At the time, I was on my H-1B, however, my wife's H-4 was expired as of Dec. 6, 2006. The reason for this is because I had changed jobs earlier, and the lawyers never filed for her H4 transfer. Only my H1 was transferred to the new company, and she was still on her old H-4.
She received her EAD and AP approvals on April, 2007. I have got my I-140 approved as well. Is there going to be any problem with my wife's I-485?
So, here's the timeline:
June, 2004 - Me and wife on H1 and H4 resp., expiring on Dec., 2006
Jan, 2006 - I changed jobs, got my H1 transferred, which now expired on Oct., 2007. Wife never got her H4 transferred
Jan, 2007 - We filed concurrently for EAD, AP, 140 and 485 (Wife's H4 is already expired as of Dec. 6, 2006)
Apr, 2007 - Both me and my wife got our EAD and AP approved
July, 2007 - I got my 140 approved
Currently - waiting on our I-485
Question - Would their be a problem with my wife's 485 as she was out of status (but not illegal), when she filed for 485?
Thanks a lot.

Yes, but if you file them both at the same time it gets complicated controlling which one will be the final status you end up in.
It is probably better to file for one, with premium processing, and then if it is denies, file for the other. But, that may not be an option if you are running out of time on your I-94.

Hey
If I remember correctly (read somewhere on this forum) the strategy should be that you take a infopass appointment on the same day as your finger
printing appointment, talk to the immigration officer and ask him about your wife's FP appointment. If it was indeed sent out and you havent received it he can give you some kind of a receipt(?) and both of you can have the FP done on the same date.

Hello,
I am in exactly the same situation. I have received my renewal EAD but my spouse hasn't. Her EAD expires 4th November. USCIS told me to call back on 11th Oct which is 30 days after they sent it. I do not want to wait till 11th. I am pretty sure its lost in the mail.
She is going to get a job offer next week, will she have any problems due to the fact that her EAD expires within 30 days?
Also whats the best thing for me to do now?
Please advise.

I've a terrible situation now:
My current H1 is probably going to be cancelled by Apr 30th , I'm looking for a Job on my EAD and will hopefully get one soon by Apr 30th.
However H1 cancellation means H4 will get auto-cancelled - Is that true ? If yes, then my spouse will lose her status ?? She couldn't apply for her "derivative 485" when I filed mine in July 2007 due to wrong DOB on Birth Certificate. Pricipal Applicant's priority Date is Mar 2005 and EB3-I and there is no signs for it to be current within next 3-4 years.
What are my spouse's options without falling out of status or leaving the country and remain separated for 3-4 yrs or more years till the PD gets current ? We have a Kid who is US citizen.
Thanks much!

hello :D
the best way to handle archives done in photoshop is PNG, in the window of your library you can modify the file as you like
for vectors use illustrator, in flash you can open the archives directly (importing like .ai or .eps)... if you use corel draw, exists and exporter to SWF you can find it in the site of corel

Are you sure that one need not pay for EAD and AP after paying the higher fee once? Could you please tell me where did you see this information. It is mentioned at USCIS website that if you had paid the new fee for I-485, you don't have to pay a fee for EAD or AP, otherwise the fee for EAD is $340 and for AP it is $305.
hopefully if we pay the $340 for EAD and $305 for AP for each person, we do not have to pay for it again until we get a decision on our GC.We just have to keep renewing these two without paying again..Please correct me if i am wrong.So its like pay one last time..hopefully.

Porting PD Imp Approach & Question
Background-
Working with employer A have approved labor and I-140 EB3 and have a copy of all documents. Also have an approved EB2 PERM with employer B.
My questions are �
1) Can I transfer my H-1B to employer B to file new I-140 using EB3 Priority Date using recently announced premium service and I will tell employer A that I am on vacation ?
If I get new EB2 approval with old EB3 Priority Date then I will resign from employer A
If I will get rejected new EB2 with old Eb 3 Priority Date then I will go back to old employer A that I am back from vacations
Since this is premium service so turn around time is less than 4 weeks. Less than 4 weeks is not that uncommon to go on vacation.
Any comments or risk of this approach

If you have the case no. go to online case status and take the print out of approved notice, that should serve you purpose hopefully if you don�t have a original copy

My attornies (big firm...working for Fortune 500 company) says that dates could retrogress anytime i.e. on 15 July 07, dates could move back several months and the chances of that happening are very high. My advise is to have your spouse cut the vacation short and return asap...! You need to file ASAP.

Where did everyone get the 10 days estimate from??
As far as I read, the production date for the new system is 10/29.. So, maybe suprises in December bulletin.
I don't think there will be any surprises for the next 9 months as India and China have very limited quota per year. Besides the overflow that happens during the last quarter, I guess it is going to be a snail crawl for EB2.
EB3 India - well, can hibernate for the next 3-4 years.
