You will have to staple the old passport to the newer one and carry both of them at all times. The visas on the previous passport will not be transferred over to the new passport.

Interesting comment on one of old BusinessWeek articles.It strongly highlights power an employer holds over H1-B employee.
http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/blog/bangaloretigers/archives/2006/11/us_software_tal.html
"'m not at all surprised that the first few comments on this post have been very skeptical of the skills shortage.
No matter how you feel about the alleged shortage, you have to acknowledge that the H1B gives the employer a remarkable amount of power over the employee's life. The employer bestows the right to live in the United States upon the employee, and often sponsers the employee's application for a green card. Changing employers is not impossible, but it is tricky and perilous.
As an American, I can quit my job and become a contractor. An H1B can't. If my girlfriend decides to move across the country for a new job, I can quit my old job and go with her. An H1B can't. If I decide I'm tired of programming, I can quit and apply to law school. An H1B can't. And, most importantly, if I think I'm talented and should earn well above market rate, I can go into my boss's office and negotiate with the knowledge that I'm free to find a better deal elsewhere. An H1B can't - unless, of course, he's willing to give up on his wait for a green card and return to his country of origin and start all over again.
While I'm not a protectionist in any way, I view the indenturedness of the H1B visa as an affront to everything America claims it believes about human and economic freedoms. No employer should ever have this kind of power over an employee.
Congress is perfectly capably of creating an employment category for foreign nationals that preserves freedom for the engineer who comes to America. They still haven't. Why? Well, the most likely explanation is that the corporations who lobby for this visa *enjoy* this power over engineers. And this, in turn, leads to work conditions that drive America's best and brightest away, into careers in law, medicine, finance, and so forth, exacerbating the very shortage that the visa was designed to address.
Unlike some of the posters here, I'm ok with the existence of skilled worker visas. But any increase should be off the table until basic human and economic freedoms are preserved for the worker. In America, you have the right to quit your job. Period. "

It looks like we just missed a great opportunity to post a legal immigration question on change.gov. The goods news is that they will roll this out next week. So if you want to submit a question, be ready!...I will be sure to bump this thread..
Go here and type "legal immigration" in the search questions field.
http://change.gov/page/content/20081211_openforquestions
I saw a few questions already posted about legal immigration reform. We should all register and vote for these questions(whenever they roll this out again next week). It takes less than a minute to register. All they ask for is your name, zip code and email address.
Mods, Please discard this if this idea has already been put forward.
Good find ! By the time they would read your message, Obama would have lost a bid for second term.

That could be viewed as remuneration for services thus meeting the USCIS definition of employment. At least theorhetically, this would violate your H-1 status.

I forgot to post my update - I actually did get my appointment with Xvars.com (http://www.xvars.com) . They got me the appointment about 2 days after I signed up, and I got my stamping done in Toronto on Dec 16th. I also chose Montreal as backup but got my original choice. Good luck to people stamping visas in canada. it is much easier and faster than going back to the home country.

Spoken to my attorney and she says its no problem getting back into the US with a AP.
I use AP last year with no issues while going back to Msia for a visit. I guess i am paranoid about dealing with US immigration.

Visa Statistics (http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/statistics/statistics_1476.html)
from 2000 looks like about 300K EB visa was wasted.
Also, you can see, EB1+Eb2ROW has s always been in the 50-70K range every year
EB1 I/C each is increasing from 3K to 6K, EB2 ROW is increasing from 10K to about 30K

It is a case to sign in native language...
Your question is not clear.
did you forget to sign the G-325A form where it says "Sign here"
OR
did you forget to write your name in native alphabet?
In first case, it will be considered improperly filed and chances are it will be rejected.
In second case, even if your native language is other than English, the person who does initial review will not know that and it will be accepted and processed.
I hope it is the second case .

The Department of State (DOS) has issued a regulation that broadens the authority of consular officers to revoke a visa at any time subsequent to issuance of the visa, including when the individual is already in the U.S. Additionally, the regulation allows consular officers and designated officials within DOS to revoke a visa provisionally while considering a final visa revocation.
This rule is effective April 27, 2011. DOS did not issue the regulation through notice and comment rulemaking on the basis that it involves a foreign affairs function of the United States and, therefore, is exempt from those procedures.
Pursuant to section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), DOS may determine that a visa should be revoked when information reveals that the applicant was originally, or has since become, ineligible or may be ineligible to possess a U.S. visa. In testimony before Congress in 2004, DOS stated that it had revoked 1,250 visas since September 11, 2001, based on information suggesting possible terrorist activities or links. Congress and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) have put pressure on DOS and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to improve their policies regarding visa revocations.
If DOS revokes an individual�s visa, the information will be uploaded into the Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS) database and the foreign national may not use the visa for travel to the U.S. Though DOS will seek to notify the traveler, the revocation is effective irrespective of whether the foreign traveler knows about the revocation.
Separately, the INA allows the government to remove (i.e. deport) an individual whose nonimmigrant visa has been revoked under section 221(i). There is no judicial review of the decision to revoke the visa, but there is judicial review in the context of a removal proceeding if the visa revocation is the sole basis for removal.
Expect more denials at the port of entry to the US by individuals not aware that their visa has been revoked. I understand the need for more security but this may not be the way to go.

For that to happen a number first has to be generated! There is apparently a block (CIS-SSA name verification issue) that is preventing that from happening.
sunnymit,
I would suggest you call SSA HQ in Baltimore, MD and explain to them the situation and tell them that the SAVE system (that check your immigration status) is having possible issues with your case.
If that does not work, send a certified mail to the local office supervisor and SSA HQ.
got to the SSN office with ur receipt, tell them you are waiting for ...... long for the card. you need the number to give to the employer. most of the officers would look in the system and would give you the number.

Most of the times all they want it that you introduce them as a sub vendor and pay them $2-5/hr. So the new relation ship will be
Z -> New Vendor -> Y -> X -> You
On the other note, these kinds of multiple layers are illegal and subcontracting is not allowed as per H1 rules.
