Once it goes into hibernation, there is nothing much you can do. If you are a student (f1 visa), you can have your university step in for help, but it also limited.

Dear All:
I am currently in my 7th year on H-1B (with I-140 approved) and my H-1B Visa expired a year ago and my current I-94 valid until next 2 years (same case for my dependants).
I am switching my employer now and my family is planning to goto India and when they go for visa stamping through my new employer - do you think they will get into the trouble because my visa (with old employer) is already expired?
And FYI - myself/my fmaily already had US Visas stamped for atleast 4-5times already in the past through various employers.

when you are applying for I140 - You may get RFE due to the fact that your education is not matching (equivalent to) 4 years. So it is better to show the education as 4 years ie..if you have some other degrees/diplomas along with your 3 years degree. this has to be mentioned in box#15.
Hope I am clear.

My PERM (EB2) was filed mid January 2008, less than 365 days before my second term H1B will expire in October 1, 2008. The case was audited in March and we responded in April 2008 to the Atlanta Processing Center. Since then, no news.
From what I understand from my lawyer, there will be a time gap when I will be without H1B status between October 1, 2008 and mid January 2009, when I will be eligible for an automatic H1B extension due to the PERM pending for more than 365 days. This time gap comes to a total of about 110 days.
My lawyer suggests spending these 110 days out of the country before October 1st, so they can be filed as a �time recap� and added to my H1B October expiration date. As a result, this would get me to mid January 2009 for the H1B visa extension, so I can stay continuously in the US.
As of now, I already accumulated about 60 days � all from vacation during the 6 years on H1B. If I applied this for time recap, it would get me through December 1, 2008. If I can avoid it, I would rather not spend the remaining 50 days abroad before my H1B visa expiration.
Questions:
Recap eligibility
- Does paid vacation count as time out of the country for recap filing and added to the H1B expiration date?
- Do travel dates also count or only full days abroad?
Recap filing
- If the recap filing of 60 vacation days get me to December, can I still go in and out of the country between October and December -- even though my H1B officially ended in October?
- Can I do a recap filing several times for time periods that I might stay out of the country between October and December, so eventually it would get me to mid January, the date when the H1B extension can be filed?
Filing after PERM approval
- What are the next filing steps if I get my LC approved before / after October or December?
My lawyer, hired by my employer, keeps me in the dark. Is my information correct? Are there any work-arounds?
I need to stay in the country, regardless of the filing fees or other costs. Which other filings are required and when, so I can stay continuously in the country?
Thanks for any tips and advice.

I am fine with abandoning the current H1-B extension process. My question is if there will be any problems leaving the country on an expired I-94 even though I am still technically in status.
My concern is that I will have problems if I apply for a tourist visa or H1-B visa in the future.

Hi,
My brother is in Toronto, Canada for a conference. He has an H1B extension which is not stamped. At the US airport before boarding the toronto flight they took his old expired I-94 (from previous H1B). He currently has his I-797 (H1B) petition that has the I-94 at the end.
1) Can he use that I-94 to enter the US (his new H1B extension is not stamped). His stay is only for 4 days in Toronto.
2) If not then what are his other options (except for H1B stamping as there are no dates in toronto)
Would appreciate any advice as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Canada has been using this for skilled worker program, where individuals can apply for Canadian permanent residency independently if they fullfill the passmark. Other countries like Australia, UK and New Zealand also follow suit with different types of difficulties.
How about US? Would US adopt this?
G.
Point system can be adopted but either way it has to be strict so that
the eligible people are lesser, like giving points for work exp in US etc(onL1
or H1b).
Aust system is also pretty strict and only people who are working/studying in Aust can qualify.
Any system that delinks the employer - GC sponsering system will reduuce the problems to some extent. but retrogression will be there if
too many people apply.

Hi folks,
Could someone please point me to a Marriage Certificate Translation service9s)?
It's in Marathi and has photos, legal fee stamps and seals on it and I would like to retain the look as much as possible.
I kinda searched this website, but the search engine doesn't take you to a specific post in a thread. Instead it just brings up all threads that contain a post with the search keyword. After navigating through a few pages with no luck, I gave up and hence the (potentially redundant) question!
With another opportunity for Adjustment of Status around the corner, I want to get this asap.
Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestion. My lawyer says that it's fine to have Computer Information Systems as per Education Evaluation draft. Though my lawyers are well experienced, I'm felling little bit doubtful on this.
I would appreciate if any lawyer advises or responds to my question.

IN THE CURRENT SITUATION/TREND,
- USCIS throwing RFEs on H1 transfers
- Beware of 140 revocation by your employer though it is not valid. But will put you in mental stress
- Make sure your new position duties and its description and slaray are similar.

I am currently working for a company at Chicago,IL on OPT (Optional Practical Training) period which is of one year. I have graduated as Electical Engineer from NJIT,NJ this year and is authorized to work during the OPT. Unfortunately the OPT is ending on 11th February, 2007.
I applied for H1B through the same company at Chicago but missed it as the CAP was closed by 28th August, 2006. Hence, I am currently working on the OPT work authorization.
I am aware that I will be out of status after February 11th at the end of my OPT tenure. I am planning to re-apply for H1 with the same company again well in time next year. As I will be out of status until I get my H1B application accepted and approved possibly by October'07, what are the best options available for me to legally stay here in USA with a valid status during the period until October 2007. Time is short and I needed to work out some thing quick.
I shall be grateful to any one who could send in your valuable advise.
