I think you can't apply more than six months in advance from the date your H1 is expiring.
I guess anytime August onwards should be good .

AP not yet received. But EADs have been received for me and my husband (primary applicant). However, my daughter is yet to receive her EAD. Anybody with a similar case? I tried calling IO in USCIS but they say that it may come any time within 90 days of the notice date (not the receipt date!):mad:

H-1B visas are a relatively swift path to employment for foreigners with bachelor's degrees and U.S. employers to sponsor them. Each year, the U.S. government makes 65,000 H-1B visas available to qualified individuals on a first-come basis. The cap has been reached every year for the last several years, and for fiscal year 2008, it was reached on the first day of filing. As of July 10, 2009, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) had received 44,900 H-1B cap-subject petitions that have been counted towards the 65,000 H-1B cap. USCIS continues to accept cap-subject petitions.
If you would like more information regarding the H-1B visa cap, please call Kraft & Associates at 214-999-9999.

Hi,
My PD is Dec-04 and I-485 filing date is Sept-07.
I changed my job in Aug-2008 and discontinued my H1B which is expired in Sept-2008. Now my only legal status is 'adjustment of status from H1B to Permanent Resident'. I think this is very common state most of the people waiting looong for GC fall into.
Now, I saw one of my friend's i-485 denied (with NO option to reopen!) bcoz an approved I-140 was not attached to this application. I agree that this is not simple mistake for USCIS can ignore, but there is always a 'very very remote' possibility that every application can be quetioned due to some flows in the filing.
Here is my question: Since I discontinued my H1B status and I am still in this country, can I apply for a fresh H1B? I am thinking because H1B quota is still open this year and to face any unexpected reason for 485 denial!
thanks in advance!

From Matthew Oh's website, sounds like labor sub will be history from next week.
What are people's guesses on how many of the BEC labor certifications will be rendered effectively useless because of this?
Also, does this mean it will be more straightforward to port PD after I140 approval (because the old employer has no benefit to revoking I140 anymore?)?

Hi,
I am currently on F1 Status
I have a Vaid H1 Visa which was issued by my previous employer on 2006.But I did not use the VISA as I entered US as a student and have never worked in the US on H1.
the new employer is willing to sponser my h1. As I was already counted in the cap once within past 6 years, I need not wait till april to process my application.
is this correct?
If one is in some other status other than H1 currently, They don't need old paystubs for the transfer.I need a copy of the I797 or the receipt number of my old H1 for transfer.
I can provide the receipt number which is available on my visa. My previous employer is not willing to give me a copy of I797.
what are the chances that my application being approved without old I797 but just the receipt no for proof of me counted already once

Hi!
I need to know when can I fly back to US on my H4 visa(valid till 2011 ).
My husband has joined a new job and his H1 B transfer has been filed .
Do I have to wait for new I 797 or Can I just travel on my old H4 visa and
visa transfer receipt notice .( he is filing the H1 transfer by premium processing ) .
His new employer is suggesting me to reenter on old h4 and before my husband
joins their company .
But for me that will be very soon ( not fulfilling the purpose of my visit ).
Any help is much appreciated.:confused:

I have an Indian passport and currently working in USA on L1B visa. Before leaving India I initiated the process of getting permanent residence visa from Australia and while I was in USA I got the AU Independent (Migrant) Visa (Subclass 175) visa approved and it was stamped on my passport by the AU embassy in Washington DC.
My queries are:
- I am planning to go for a vacation to India very soon. While returning to USA will it be a problem with my Indian passport having both USA L1B visa and AU migrant visa.
- For the initial entry to AU, I want to go there next year only for a week directly from USA. Will it be a issue for me to enter the US in my return trip
Your advice on this will be very helpful.

H-1B employers need to be aware that June 30, 2009 will be the last day that the Department of Labor�s LCA Online system will be operational. As of July 1, 2009, all LCAs for H-1B and E-3 cases will need to be submitted through the iCERT portal (http://icert.doleta.gov/) and that means the end of instant LCA certifications.
This has very important implications for the timing of H-1B and E-3 applications as they relate to new hires and extensions. Employers will need to allow for delays in LCA certifications of at least 7 days rather than the instant certifications that were previously issued.

I am working for a small company on H1B since October 2006. The company had originally filed for full time employment (LCA and I-129) but at the time of hiring offered part time employment. I worked part time till June 2008 and since then I have been working full time. The company however never filed for an amended LCA and/or I-129. My H1B approval was extended last October by another 3 years. I also work part-time for a University on a concurrent H1B.
Will I be deemed out of status for this? What are the implications of this on filing for GC under EB1 or EB2? Is there any way in which this situation may be legally rectified?
Please advise.

My wife is working as a consultant, her client is ready to give her full time and also ready to do her H1-B transfer. Her H1-B is valid till April 2011 and GC process has not been started yet. Client is hesitant to start GC because they are new to the process.
Questions
-----------
1. Can she take the offer from client company, get H1-B transferred and start GC process with another company X?
2. If that happens can she apply for H1-B extension with client company early next year?
3. Should her PERM application be submitted before April 2010?
Thanks in Advance

For the first time I think IV was put ahead of AILA/AILF in immigration issues when it mattered. I think finally immigration community can have sigh of relief because immigrtaion community is not represented by a bunch of attorneys who make money on immigration issues (which are legitamate or not ) but by a grass roots organization of immigrants. Congrats to IV and its members in resolving july visa bulletin fiasco. Long live IV
