I happen to hear that its more easy to convert from L1 visa to Green card .Is it something that the employer has to initiate ? Can we start the process by ourselves.
please shed some light on this.
Thanks

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has launched its newly re-designed Web site (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis). Although the Web site update was scheduled to be introduced September 22, 2009, attorney Eugenia Ponce visited the site Monday and has this report:
The updated Web site is organized according to categories.The categories are displayed as Topics, Forms, Resources, Laws, News, and About Us. The topics are categorized as follows: Adoption, Permanent Residence, Humanitarian, Citizenship, Members of the Military and Their Family, Family, Visit the U.S., Working in the U.S, and Genealogy. After clicking on a specific topic, I was provided helpful information and even more additional information was available through the links on the left of the screen.The advantage of categorizing the information by topic is that individuals are now able to familiarize themselves with the process from start to finish. There are other helpful links and tools within each specific topic.
Another key feature to the Web site is that there is a “where to start” link. Before, individuals could navigate throughout the Web site not knowing where to even begin their search on a narrow issue. Now, the “where to start link” will allow individuals to begin their immigration search by narrowing it down to their specific issue. For instance, there is a scroll-down available for individuals under the “where to start” link. It states “I Am,” and one can select from the various choices available and get specific information relating to any issue.
Given the new era with text messaging (even various airline companies provide flight and gate status information through text messaging), USCIS has upgraded its site by adding a link that allows individuals to receive case status updates via text messages. The newly designed site has provided a one-stop resource center for individuals with specific queries and I am excited in navigating throughout their links. Visit the newly re-designed USCIS Web site (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis) and see the improvements for yourself.

You can not use interfiling across categories. You can only use interfiling between few EB categories. You are better off moving to family based quota, all you need to prove is she is your sister. Good luck.
People in this forum are struggling to get GC on Employeement category, since you have a family stream possibility and which is current as per you note above, I would advise you to help us by moving you and your husband to family category.......thanks in advance for giving us 2 visa numbers. :D

Gurus,
I work for company X and in my 9th year H1-B visa. X has filed for my Eb-3 labor and I-140 and I am currently AOS (July 07 filer) on my I-485. X recently extended my H1 through Oct 2012.
I have an offer from company Y. Company Y is asking me if I want H1 extension or H1 transfer? What should I answer them. Which one ensures that I have a 3 year extension. Please advise ASAP.
Thanks.
Are you sure they are asking this question...? Technically there is nothing called 'Transfer'. Its always new H1B sponsor and only you will not be counted against the cap as you are already counted. If you have I140 approved, you should get three extension based on that. Ask them what�s the difference between extension and transfer. I guess their knowledge in immigration is Zippo....take care.

It is legal to be paid for taking part in a clinical research study if you are on an H1B. The institution will provide you with a 1099 at the end of the year which you file with your tax return and of course declare the income.
In answer to the second posting not all research is experimental so the risks can be minimal if almost non existent and a very easy way to get a bit extra cash.

Some had mentioned in immigration forums that you might be grilled with questions during naturalization process if you had changed employer as soon as you got your GC.If you are not planning for naturalization I assume you are fine.
A 6 month stay with current employer after GC is advised for a smooth naturalization process in future.But this is dark area as there are no posts from GC turned citizens about their experiences.
Thats not exactly true in the context of this thread. You have to work for your GC sponsorer for some period of time before changing employer. Pooch was mentioning his/her GC sponsorer is future employer. So after the GC is approved, he/she has to work for that GC sponsorer not the current employer.

You do not require valid visa stamp to go India. If your kids are US citizen, you will need PIO card for them. While travelling back from India, you will be asked for valid Visa or AP to board fight for US from Frankfurt.
Our visa stamp (H1B/H4) are expired in our passports. We are planning to travel via 'Frankfurt (FRA), Germany' to Mumbai in Lufthansa airlines and we will get our passport .....................

The airline persons asked for I-94 when I checked in.
I feel it is safe to turn in both I-94's when you leave, after making a copy. I also feel, it is not a big issue.

A friend of mine is going through this and I am posting on his behalf while he is really stressing it out. Any help would be very much appreciated.
He got his H1B through this consulting firm last April in effect from Oct 01, 2008. He finished his masters here in the US in April. He made himself available to the employer and was searching for work all summer. His employer asked him to clear a few certifications in a field unfamiliar to him. My friend took certifications but also has been on a look out for any new opportunities given the tough market.
He recently found one and is looking to switch his H1B. Now that his current employer has found out about this, he totally freaked out threatening to cancel his H1B.
Things to note:
- My friend has not been paid by his current employer. So no pay-stubs what so ever
- He had signed a contract for 2 years and some ridiculous amount of money towards damages in case he leaves
What are his options now? What if the employer sends H1B cancellation before he gets to file a new petition through the new company? Can anyone please help?
Thank you

My wife's passport was received from Delhi Consulate after about 21 business days.
My wife attended the H4 interview on Jan-11 and the VO asked 3 basic question of what does your husband do, what do you do and why are you going. No pink or green or any slip was given and nor my wife was told that her visa hasa been approved. All she was told was that they have to do some background processing after which they will send the passport back.
So what was supposed to be 2-3 days of work stretched for ever, off course flights had to be cancelled and wife had to drop the semester and my daughter had to miss the school as well. My wife's AP was approved after she had left for India,so couldn't even use that.
I know there is nothing an applicant can do or not do, but it just bothers me how much anguish this causes to not just the applicant but all of the immediate family and there is nothing that can be done.
I wish good luck to all who are stuck and hopefully in future this process might be more streamlined and have faster turnaround.

I think that it was a trial balloon. I have seen this pattern for most of the major issues this administration is planning to tackle. Take TARP for example...for a month one would just hear leaks about proposed solutions. Media would pick it up and give a reaction, the next leak would be an updated version based on the feedback. Such articles help keep the issue in the forefront, help gauge the reaction (both positive and negative) and provide a simple exit to backtrack incase of major opposition. :rolleyes:

I also heard that they are sending about 1500 people back to India..
I heard from one of my Frnds that all of their L1 visa extensions are getting rejected left and right....
Most of them are on these L1 Visas in managerial postions.

If NEW employer ,then u can apply for new H1B petition but cannot ask for extension of stay .
Extension of stay is for someone who is already in USA on H1B status .

Hi,
I have a question. I have H1B valid till 2012 under company A and I am working for company A now. Company B is offering me part time employment and they transferred existing H1B transfer. Now I have two H1Bs after transfer, literally. Am I correct? Now I am eligible to work for both the companies. Am I correct?

Most Immigration Lawyers that care for their work are tired of Mr. Dobbs. Mr. Leopold from AILA posted a valid statement about Dobbs' campagin of Hate:
CNN has a journalistic obligation to dump Lou Dobbs and his campaign of hate against immigrants.
It is unthinkable that a major network would permit someone to build a career based on fear and hatred of human beings. Why the double standard when it comes to immigrants?
As Janet Murguia, the President and CEO of the National Council of La Raza pointed out yesterday in her Huffington Post blog, http://bit.ly/Mk0ez, Dobbs disgarded any sense of journalistic objectivity or integrity (assuming he had any to begin with) when he openly participated in an anti-immigrant rally in Washington, DC sponsored by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an organization designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a hate group. According to SPLC:
� FAIR was founded by John Tanton, who also operates a racist publishing company and has compared immigrants to "bacteria."
� FAIR has employed members of white supremacist groups in key positions.
� FAIR has promoted racist conspiracy theories.
� FAIR has accepted more than $1 million from the Pioneer Fund, a foundation devoted to eugenics and to proving a connection between race and IQ.
� FAIR president Dan Stein once suggested that Asians and Hispanics were engaged in "competitive breeding."
Of course Dobbs� recent display of hate mongering is just his most recent in a long line of abuse including, as Murguia points out in her blog,
� His regular use of guests representing hate groups, vigilantes, and nativists as experts on immigration
� His relentless repetition of stories on immigrants and crime that project an impression far from reality
� His association of immigrants as carriers of disease that has been both inaccurate and pejorative
Enough is enough.
If CNN is serious about responsible broadcast journalism it must put an end to Lou Dobbs' hateful tirade once and for all.

More Americans Give Up Citizenship As IRS Gets Aggressive Overseas (http://news.morningstar.com/newsnet/ViewNews.aspx?article=/DJ/201004050814DOWJONESDJONLINE000053_univ.xml)
The number of American citizens and green-card holders severing their ties with the U.S. soared in the latter part of 2009, amid looming U.S. tax increases and a more aggressive posture by the Internal Revenue Service towards Americans living overseas.
According to public records, just over 500 people worldwide renounced U.S. citizenship or permanent residency in the fourth quarter of 2009, the most recent period for which data are available. That is more people than have cut ties with the U.S. during all of 2007, and more than double the total expatriations in 2008.
An Ohio-born entrepreneur, now based in Switzerland, told Dow Jones he is considering turning in his U.S. passport. Mounting U.S. tax and reporting requirements are making potential business partners hesitate to do business with him, he said.
