Currently on H4 and validity expires on 09/23/2010. Can be applied for extension when principal applicants H1B is being extended(from his company), but since I have my H1B case filed with USCIS, will it create any conflict if I apply for H4 extension now? (ideally for 7 days (23rd sept to 30th sept) !! 'coz if approved, H1B status becomes valid from Oct 1st, right? )
Also, is there any rule which states that, when a case is pending with USCIS, legally you are not supposed to leave the country?
Thanks in advance,
Sabitha

Hi rpatel,
My 140 was approved few months back. My lawyer specifed consular processing without my knowledge.
How do i change it to AOS?. I heard that when my PD is current NVC will sent forms. Do I need to specify AOS in that form?. Who will get those forms?. Attorney or applicant.
Please respond
Thanks a lot

If your 140 is approved and you are applying for extension you will get 3yrs extension for your H1B if not you get only 1yr extension. So wait for one more month from now to see if you get ur 140 cleared. Pls provide more details when n where did u apply ur 140 for us to give u better suggestion, but yes you can apply H1B extension based on ur pending 140 petetion.

I am posting this on behalf of my cousin who is stuck in India pending stamping. He went to Mumbai consulate for H1 B stamping on Apr 29th. He was asked for further evidence about his employer and his employer's payroll details for all employees etc. After much confusion created by the consulate, the details were provided by his employer and by him (sealed copies) as well. He has visited the consulate 3 times and VFS office couple of times and was told your passport will be returned in couple of days but till date he has not received it.
He also has his AOS application pending with USCIS with his wife as the primary applicant. He has a valid EAD card and AP (which needs renewal). It's been a really long time he had to spend away from his family. He has certain questions he would like to get clarified,
1. How long can it take for 221g pending case to clear? I have submitted my passport to consulate on 10th Jun.
2. Can I write consulate a hand written mail (not an email) asking for passport saying that I want to travel on travel doc as I'm away from my wife for 8,9 months.
3. Can I ask consulate to return my passport without H1 stamping for renewal of Travel Document (AP)?
4. Can I travel on my travel doc (AP) after asking my passport back without any problem at the port of entry?
5. After asking for my passport back will it affect the renewal of my travel document (AP)?
Thanks a lot!

Is there a way I can apply for a green card during residency for a future job two years down the road?
Same question came up for my wife in 2004 when she did not yet have a licence to practice dentistry and she wanted to apply as a dentist and our attorney told as that during LC when advertisments are placed at that time you should have the degree and the licence ready so as to apply for that particular job.My wife got her licence in 2005.Hope this answers your question.

Just a quick update, the company B confirmed that they are going to provide me EVL mentioning me as FT. I gave them the below format which I got from the forum and they are ok with it. Now my question is do I need to invoke AC21 when I join company B, will there be any issues to my wife who is on EAD with my original petitioner A?

First of all please forgive me for creating a new thread. I am just trying to see whether any one in the same boat and what it could be.
I just found soft luds on my previous H1B which was approbed in 2006 Feb and I-140 which was approved in Dec - 2006 (I-140 lud was after one week of H1B Luf change). I wonder what it could be? I know there is no logic and it is hard to predict what it might be. May be some standard updates as some one suggested. But these two did not change in years.
Any way, any one in the same boat?
thanks

You have to get from your attorney or employer only. There is no other way you can get this. For joining for a new employer, the new job my be same or similar if you are using EAD / AC21 to continue GC processing.

I wonder when the USCIS will learn to stop playing games with our lives?
Here is my story…
I got my EAD card and AP document last month with a wrong date of birth printed on both documents due to USCIS error.
My Attorney contacted USCIS and he was advised to send the documents back for correction with no fees.
So, we refiled the application and attached the documents. Unfortunately, the entire package was returned to my Attorney requesting USCIS filing fees.
Now, we have filed a complaint with the USCIS Ombudsman’s office and requested their assistance in resolving this problem.
I am planning to use AC21 in Jan ’08, so I am desperately in need of EAD.
Has anyone ever been through similar situation? Do you know how long it will take to process a case at the Ombudsman’s office?
Also, if it is going to take another 2-3 months to get the corrected EAD, am I going to lose all those days or USCIS will print a new expiration date on my card?
Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
1) If I take the H1b extenstion for three years (based on my pending I-485) and let say after one year, I start using my EAD with a new employer and my previous employer revokes my H1B....Will I be able to get back on H1B if my I-485 petition get denied for any reason. All I am trying to see if anything happens to my I-485 petition, will I be able to go back on H1B from EAD.
If your 485 is denied, you will not be eligible for any more H-1B time until you have spent one full year outside the US. You have already used your full 6 years and are only entitled to extensions now because you have an approved I-140 and a backlogged priority date. If these conditions apply even after a 485 denial, you could regain H-1B status, however it depends on the grounds of the 485 denial.
2) I have been reading in the forums that USCIS is giving hard time for the H1B extensions. Any experiences on this?
I haven't had a problem with H-1B extensions
3) How much is the H1B renewal fees?
It depends on whether it is an extension with the same employer or if it is a new employer. The fees are:
$320 I-129 fee
$500 Anti-Fraud fee for first H-1B for this employer and employee, or first extension
$1500 Training fee for first H-1B for this employer and employee, or $750 if under 25 employees
