Hi,
I am currently holding L1 and B1 visa from a company A. Now some company B has applied for my H1 Visa. If I get H1b visa, does both L1 and B1 get cancelled.
Thanks.
My son was on B1 and then on H4. B1 was stamped in 2000 for 10 years. He was with me in US for 4 years and had 1 stamping of H4 in his passport after 2000. He moved to Canada in 2005 but still visits me on B1 which was issued to him before his H4 stamping and B1 was never cancelled. I am not sure about L1..

Following are the answers to your questions. :)
I have a question for you too: How are you contributing to Immigrationvoice?
Dear All ,
I recently got my I-140 approved, got our(me and spouse) EAD and AP too.Now what I am wondering is that
1.Am I still on H1 status or the status now becomes EAD ?
You are on H1 unless you request your employer to update your I-9 with EAD.
2. If my H1 still holds good then should I go back to India to get my fresh H1 stamping as it will expire november next year or should I go for one year H1 extensions(as I heard from friends ) till I get the GC ?
Your H1 is not good after it expires. You have to get extension to be in H1 status. Stamping from India would be required if you travel to India with expired stamp on your passport and you choose not to use your AP to return to US.
3. Is there any stipulated time limit within which my wife has to apply for her SSN( we have not yet applied for it. )
There is no time limit.
4. My passport is going to expire on December next year. Do I need to go to India for renewal or it can be done from here itself. If it can be done from here itself then when is the earliest to start that process ?( I will be happy if u could send some links that will guide me ).
You can renew your passport in US and following are the links for Indian Consulates in USA.

Hello,
I have a couple of questions here:
1) The last digit of the I-94# number is not very clear(Not sure if it is a 3 or 8). What do I write in the 485? Is there any way to find the correct one?
2) I filed the I140 without providing the A#. I understand that when I dont provide one, a new one is generated. And the A# is usually used to link the 485 with the 140. Now when I apply for 485, if I give the A# from my OPT EAD, will it be a problem because a new number will be already generated for I140? Should I write the A# in 485 or just leave it??
Thanks in advance for all the replies.

Yes, it is frustrating to miss it just by one day, I don't think we can appeal against it, let us wait for the original card to see whether we have any luck. I also filed at NSC.
I got the e-mail that card prodn. is ordered. Not sure if i'll get one year or 2 years EAD renewal now. I filed in Nebraska center. I called USCIS and asked them but they are not sure either.. I hate to miss out of 2 yr EAD just 'cos it got approved today but not Monday. Is there any way to appeal for a 2 yr EAD ????

Hi,
I am currently working on EAD and my Priority date is May 2007. I was wondering if I get a job in a US company which allows me to stay in india and work for them on regular employment under inter office transfer, Can i still work on EAD and be aligible for my GC?
Will there be any limit on how long can I work from out side of US, if I can?
is there any other legal formality i should fulfill in order to work for US company from out side of US and continue with my GC Process?
Any help is appriciated,
Thanks,
Mickey

if you have both H1B and EAD they both are valid work authorizations and you can work with both of them as long as they are valid and AILA thinks that we can moonlight with EAD while working on H1B and they asked the same question to USCIS and also there is no way for USCIS to track if you are working on H1B and EAD as far I know.
But here is the key point when one uses EAD uscis doesnt outright know what status he is in as he just signs I-9 form which is just with employer. so weigh your options but to be safe once taking up EAD means done with H1b

Why blame illegal Indians? They are desperate for survival and come to USA to earn 2 square meals a day.
What about the Legal Indians? The so called best and the brightest.
Even legal Indians commit acts that bring shame. Just go to any anti-immigrant website and you will see tons of news article links. This is why antis call Indians slumdogs

Well I checked with my old employer's legal dept and the lawyer and they won't be revoking my 140........also since its a soft LUD so it should not be so far related to my layoff....
However since my employer will be informing USCIS of my H1B termination in 30 to 45 days I guess I will have to be on a lookout for an RFE by mid may....
In the mean time I have filed a new G28 through my own lawyer and am trying get into a job soon and file AC21........
Lets see who will win the race of paperwork and beurocratic bullshit...... :eek:
Another day in paradise....... :rolleyes:

I have my first GC interview next month. I had a DUI few years back that I forgot to mention in the 485 app as I thought this was a traffic related offense. I want to know what are my options now? My lawyer suggests I file for some kind of waiver and suggests I take an attorney with me to the interview. She also asked me to get court certified copies of the conviction and that I completed all the required tasks assigned by the court.
Is this going to affect my GC in anyway? I need some guidance here.
Did the interview request from USCIS specifically mention the DUI?
Here's some information that might help you understand your situation better: http://www.californiadui.com/articles/immigration-issues-of-dui.php
I think it's not the prior DUI conviction, but the failure to disclose the prior DUI conviction that poses a potential problem. However, this is not something that cannot be taken care of with the help of an experienced attorney. There are numerous folks who have found themselves in a similar situation and have gone on to successfully get their GC. I agree with the advice provided by the gentleman above.

We legals who are waiting in line have another setback with news like below
Illegal immigration: Influx of immigrants from India baffles border officials in Texas - latimes.com (http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-border-indians-20110206,0,3295315.story)
last week we heard about Trivalley.
eb-3 -> eb2 seems like a minuscule problem now.
We are self destructing ourselves by making US gov loose complete trust on indian credibility with few of the above among hundreds of nuances we are causing.
If you are like me.. always following rules.. light at the end of tunnel seem to be diminishing very quickly than what we thought.

I am planning to move to different residence. My 485 application is currently pending.
Has anyone successfully filed change of address form? and have their EAD or other documents deliever to their new address correctly. Reason I am asking my friend changed his residence while his 485 pending and all his document would still come to my address (his old address). He made numerous request to USCIS and files for AR11 etc. His all documents EAD.. even Green card also came back to my address(His old adress). At least he was lucky that I was still staying over there.
Any thoughts much appreciated.

It is possible that the employer may sue you. But since you would be finding a new job, you can always ask your new employer to give you a sign-on bonus which will be equal to or greater than the expenses demanded by your present employer.
Thats my 2 cents worth.

My thoughts exactly! Here is a thread I opened on the subject a couple of weeks ago:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=600
The idea makes such good economic sense (the government would be price discriminating to increase its revenue) that if USCIS were a private entity they would have implemented something like this a long time ago. But unfortunately it is not and we have to suffer under a "one size fits all" system.

Thanks for your prompt response.
- still I feel that only because I received just now after 8 years this A#, seems to me that only at this time I'm registered as an immigrant?
That is what alien number means in English ? Sorry.
Vali:
USCIS assigns Unique A# for each individual, who files I485 , some people recieves A# even in I140 too.
When your adjustment of status application(I485) approves then you will be registered as Permanent Resident.
