I know a colleague of mine who also changed from L1 to H1 last year but he joined his new job after 2 months from Oct 1 .
I have also read that only when you go out of the country and when you stamp your visa thats when one of the visa goes invalid.
Is this right?
Dude,
You are already out of status as you are not on L anymore. As of october 01st, your status changed to H-1b and you can only be employed by your H-1b employer.
Talk to a lawyer who knows L stuff (not many do) and straighten things out.

Hi there.. I need some suggestions from you all. Please help.
I have applied for a green card thru my husband (we got married in Sep and applied for the green in Dec). Both of us are well qualified and are working. We submitted all the documents that are needed thru my lawyer. My finger print appotinment went fine. USCIS wanted some additional evidence for I 485 which they initially sent to us in Jan and we never received it but we followed it up and got the notice 3 weeks ago. They wanted us to submit recent tax return form (my husband's) which is 2008. For 2009 we are filing together and my husband hasnt received his K1 forms yet (he is self employed - Physical therapist) so we filed for an extension of time for filing which he usually does every year. We submitted last year's tax return (both his and mine), extension form that we submitted to IRS, additionally we submitted my W2, my pay stubs and a letter from my employer about my employment. Last week we received a denial notice for I 485, I 131 and also for travel document. The reason mentioned was we didnt submit the evidence they asked for which is federal tax return form for the most recent tax year. For us its 2008 and for 2009 we submitted the extension form. My lawyer is going to submit a motion to reopen. Any one had similar situation? Please help.
For I 130 (which is not denied but is placed on hold for additional evidence), they wanted more evidence that we are still married! which came along with the denial notice. We have all the documents that they wanted. Also we are going to have a baby in AUG, so submitting a letted from my clinic too. This should be sent sometime next week.

Hi all,
I think my scenario is little complicated.I have my I140 (EB3) cleared with previous employer and my current company has filed new labor and I140 (EB2). They are trying to capture the priority date of my old I140 approval (August 2006).
While my current I140 is still going on, can I apply for I1-485 due to sudden improvement shown for EB2 category in September Visa bulletin.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Vikram

Hello All,
I am in a very sticky situation, my labor is pending @ PBEC with priority date of Jan'2004, which is Non-RIR and filed under EB3 category, based on which I have been getting incremental extensions of H1B (I am already in my 9th year by now). At present I am in the process of changing my filing type to RIR from TR and I was hoping to change the category too from EB3 to EB2, but my employers did not support me since they cannot pay the prevailing wage. I know I can still switch jobs, provided I transfer my H1B (which is valid till Jan�2008) and the new company files my GC immediately, so my questions to fellow victims of PBEC is
� How can I retain my old priority date?,
� Does the job descriptions filed with old labor have to match with job descriptions filed in PERM?
� It will be very tough, since I have almost 12+ yrs of exp in the industry, but my present employer is taking advantage of my situation and he is paying me peanuts, just because he does not want to pay me more, they have filed the papers as EB3. So while filing labor under EB2, can I still maintain my old priority date.
Please guys/gals help me out, I am not sure what to do, since I have already spent almost 3K$ on my GC and If I will be stuck with my employer at such low salary after my labor & I140 gets approved because of the retrogression it will be disaster. So I was thinking it would be better to be stuck with employer, who at least pays me decently and if I can retain my old dates it will awesome.
Regards,
CJG

Hi Every one,
I'm on OPT right now ,i'm done with my masters in DEC 2007.
My visa Stamp in my passport was only untill april 2008(I got F1 stamped only for 24 months), now i'm on OPT extension.I applied H1B in 2008 and got RFE my employer could not answer the RFE and revoked my petition.
I did't apply in 2009 even i have chance to apply(because of the JOB fear ) i got my OPT extension approved ,my OPT extension is going to end in June 2010 , any way i will be applying H1B in 2010.
My question is if i don't get H1B in 2010 ,my plan i to take CPT and search for jobs ,does it effects my future immigration any way.
Thanks in advance for every one.
Hmm ... Are you still enrolled in your school as a student in good standing? AFAIK, you can avail CPT only during your study period, not after it.

Hi All,
Need some comments on my situation. My lawyer filed for my I-140, I-485, AP, and EAD on November 20th on EB2 Row Category. I just emails yesterday stating that my EAD card is sent to production, but they have asked for initial evidence on 485. Is it possible to review 485 without looking at the 140? I am not sure what that query is, but really hoping that it is not something serious. I've already waited for 16 months for my Labor to get approved. Please share your experiences, suggestions etc. regarding this.

Hi guys,
My LCA got denied today (reason unknown) and my H1-B has expired on Nov. 1 as well. :(
I also have a pending I-485 petition with approved I-140. I also have a valid EAD. So I assume, I am currently shifted to AOS pending status working on EAD.
My question is whether this denial negatively affects my pending I-485 application? I assume not but just wanted to confirm anyways :confused:
Thanks for you responses.
Your H1B LCA denial will not have negative impacts on your GC. To keep the records clean, fill out a new I-9 form and submit to HR.

I dont know your exact visa background, but why do you want to use EAD, it is always better to stay on h1, if you are planning to shift employer then do h1 transfer. There are lots of threads explaining the pros and cons of using AC21 and switchin to EAD etc... but the safest way is to stay on h1.
If you can then i would suggest staying on h1, if you are shiftin employer talk to new one to ask for h1 transfer...

Alexey - I only have a very basic understanding of Grids in both Silverlight and Flex! With that said, the Grid control is fairly complex in both Flex and Silverlight. Porting between them might be tricky, but I've never tried so I am only guessing.
I'll pass your feedback on to some colleagues who may either have an answer or use your feedback for future Grid-related improvements :)
I'm going to play with Grid a bit inside Blend and see if I can come up with a workaround.
Cheers,
Kirupa

I been working on H1-B for sometime. My project ended 3 months ago and I had been unpaid since then. My H1-B expired on Sep 30, 2009. My company applied for H1-B extension in June but got a RFE due to lack of evidence. Cmpany replied to the RFE. The status has been pending since then. On Sep 19, I got an offer from another company. The new company filed for premium processing for H1-B transfer and the transfer application got approved with starting date of September 24. I haven't got my new approved I-797 yet.
I joined the new company on Sep 29 but haven't notified her old employer yet and hence they didn't withdraw my application. My immigration is underway and I have got an approved I-140 from my previous employer. That is the reason I didn't notify them as I don't want to stop that process. It is my intention to move back to my old employer if my visa extension is approved so that I don't have to refile for Green card.
Now the question is what will happen in these scenario and purportedly 'Last Action rule' of USCIS:
1) If my Visa extension gets accepted, which VISA will hold good, the H1 ext with original employer or H1-B transferred visa with new employer as the H1-ext will be the last decision by USCIS ? Where should I report for work. Can I chose among these two employers who I want to work for?
2) If my visa extension gets rejected, will my transferred VISA still hold good ? Will I need to do anything in that scenario i.e. need to go out of country and get my visa stamped ?
What is my best course of action.
Any help will be really appreciated.

since your I-485 was filed with old fee you will have to file the appropriate fee with AP application as well as EAD each time you renew it.
Everyone who was eligible to file under July bulleting will use that fee. $305
From Faq2 published by USCIS.
Q21: Will USCIS permit applicants who filed adjustment applications between July 2, 2007 – July 17, 2007, but who have not yet received a USCIS generated receipt notice, to file for Advance Parole and Employment Authorization based on proof of delivery of the I-485 application?
A21. Yes.
So you will need proof of delivery of I-485
You ignore that part as it is not applicable to you. You either fill up part 6 or 7
