Hi All (Please respond)
I was laid off from company A in MAY 2002 (got salary till 31st May), later joined company B from 1st July 2002, so, I think, I was �out of status� for 1 month, later left company B because of differences on 31st October 2002 (received salary till 31st Oct ) and filed for H1 transfer with other company C on 11th November 2002, I got H1 approval on March 10th 2003, and started working with company C from April 2003 till now, so have 5 months gap between company B and C.
Was I out of status? If yes, looks like I was out out status for 6 months (5months continues plus 1 month earlier), unfortunately this comes to 181 days (june, nov,dec,jan,feb,march).
My I-94 was never expired and I went to India in Feb 2007 and got H1B stamping done and entered US with no problem.
I started my labor with current employer in May 2004 and got I40 approved as well, now filed for 485 in july rush, got EAD and fingerprinting notice, I am worried that my 485 may be denied because of �out of status� in past.
My Question:
1.Was I technically out of status and unlawfully present?
2.How does 180 days calculated? (continues 180 days or 180 days added in two time span like mine)?
3.If there was any out of status or unlawful present in past, Is it erased after lawful entry in US (I did enter in US this year after H1 stamping in India)?
4.Is Fingerprinting notice assures that everything is fine except security and criminal check?
Please help? I am really tensed after reading few forum, This will be horrible emotional set back for me and my family after 6 years in waiting if our 485 is rejected.

Hi,
Need advice from an attorney:
My I-94 expires in december 2010. I have an approved Advance parole till Dec 2011(I485 is pending). Is it required to travel outside the country and get a new I-94 ?
2. Is there a source on the Net that I can refer to that explains this?
Thanks,
AjaySri
If you are maintaining H-1B status, you can file for status extension and will get new I-94.
If you are using EAD and have I-485 pending "status" then I-94 extension is not necessary.

Visual Studio 2005 is the IDE - an application that allows you to create other applications. Silverlight is a target runtime much like WinForms, WPF, etc. You can use VS 2005 - albeit a bit hackishly - to create projects that allow you to create outputs for all three.
Based on your code, is this a ASP.net application?

Hunton Immigration and Nationality Law Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
On July 1, 2010, the Vital Statistics Office of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico began issuing new, more secure Puerto Rican birth certificates to US Citizens born in Puerto Rico. As of October 1, 2010, all certified copies of Puerto Rican birth certificates issued prior to July 1, 2010, will no longer be valid. Accordingly, the Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a press release providing guidance to US employers with regard to the I-9 process. For new employees, employers may continue to accept all Puerto Rican birth certificates through September 30, 2010; after that date, only the new Puerto Rican birth certificates (issued on or after July 1, 2010) we be acceptable for I-9 purposes. Therefore, as of October 1, 2010, employers must pay close attention to the issuance date of Puerto Rican birth certificates presented for I-9 purposes.
For existing employees, there is no need to re-verify the employment authorization of employees who previously presented pre-July 1, 2010, Puerto Rican birth certificates. Federal Contractors subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation E-Verify clause may continue to accept all Puerto Rican birth certificates prior to October 1, 2010, but beginning on that date, only the new Puerto Rican birth certificates issued on or after July 1, 2010, will be acceptable. Federal Contractors may not ask for the newer version during I-9 reverification of those individuals who previously presented the older version of the Puerto Rican birth certificates.
The USCIS memo can be found here (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=45e3285ca77fa210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD).

We are posting the recent list of petitioners who received an approval in FY09 of Form I-129, requesting initial H-1B status for the beneficiary employee. Approximately 3,000 initial H-1B petitions are not accounted for on this list due to missing petitioner tax ID numbers.
While the full official final list of biggest H1B visa employers for FY2010 for the season has not been released, this preliminary list has been released for the Top employers this past US immigration year.
An H1B visa is a temporary working visa for professional positions, which allows foreign nationals to live and work in the U.S. for up to six years. This visa is an important tool for any employer to get the highly qualified technical expertise it needs to operate and grow its business.
If you compare the top 25 employers of US visas in 2009 to the past Top 100 H1B visa employers of FY2009, that many companies like InfoSys, Tata and Satyam have dropped substantially both in the number of US visas for foreigners applied for and their overall rank. In the cases of Tata and Satyam, they are not even on this top list anymore.
This further shows again both the fallacy of the arguments perpetuated by bigots in the US Congress and the US media about foreign companies (mainly Indian) taking the jobs of US citizens.

Hi
USCIS mails are NOT forwarded.
When you update the USCIS about address change.You will get confirmation ( may take 30days ) that the address is changed to ur new address.
If the EAD is approved before confirmation the EAD will go to the old address and returned to USCIS.Then Again you need to ask them to resend.
Now a days Iam seeing may people loosing EAds in mail.Even I lost the EAd in the mail because of address change and it never reached new/old/USCIS. I had to apply for replacement card. ( I don't want to scare You).
May be you go to local USCIS office and check what address they have on file.
Thanks

My current H1 B expires on July 31 2011. With this I will be exhausting my renewals quota as my sponsoring company Wipro has not initiated GC process. Also when my last renewal was done, a mistake was done by Wipro Visa office. My first entry to US was in Aug 2004. After that I had gone out of US in Aug 2005 for 1 month vacation and returned in Sept 2005. Each time when we file for extensions, we give all the entry and exit dates. The Wipro visa office had incorrectly entered my first entry into US as Sept 2005 even though it should have been Aug 2004. Based on this they renewed my petition till July 31 2011. If we calculate now, it turns out to be the seventh year on H1. When I tried to change my employer this year, they looked at these details and informed that if I start GC process now, they will definitely calculate my dates and find out that I am in the 7th year of H1 without GC initiation. So they told it will cause issues and it would be better for me to leave the country after July 31 2011, wait for 1 year, sponsor a new H1 and then come back.
Is there any alternative I have here? Thanks for offering help.

USCIS - Change of Address Information (http://www.uscis.gov/addresschange)
Penalties for Failure to Comply
A willful failure to give written notice to the USCIS of a change of address within 10 days of moving to the new address is a misdemeanor crime. If convicted, you (or parent or legal guardian of an alien under age 14 who is required to give notice) can be fined up to $200 or imprisoned up to 30 days, or both. The alien may also be subject to removal from the United States. (INA � 266(b)). Compliance with the requirement to notify the USCIS of any address changes is also a condition of your stay in the United States. Failure to comply could also jeopardize your ability to obtain a future visa or other immigration benefit.

Readers,
My I-797 expires on Dec 20th 2008
My 6 year term of H1b is between 2004 Oct till 2010 Sep
My previously filed PERM & I-140 are under the verge of rejection due to a pending RFE.
I am planning to file another PERM. Even though I'm trying to do it ASAP, I'm wondering whether I have an advantage on filing new PERM before Dec 20th 2007.
While applying for H1B extension in Dec 2008, If I have an approved labor/pending I-140 I thought I could request for 3 year extension. If I don't have labor/I-140 pending I can only request for 20 months extension (as my 6 year H1B term ends on Sep 2010)
I read from a site that...
"One in H1B/H-4 status can extend to the end of the 6-year limit, and then take advantage of the provisions allowing extensions beyond the 6-year limitation, if the labor certification or I-140 was filed at least a year earlier."
When I asked this question to my attorney he said
You can file for an H-l B visa extension up to 6 years. You can only file for an extension past the 6th year if your labor certification and/or I-l40 was pending for more the 365 days prior to the 6th year on your H-lB Visa status. If not and your labor certification is approved and the I-l40 is pending then you can only request an extension in one (l) year increments only until a final decision is made.
So does this mean I can only request for a 12 month extension if labor/I-140 is pending on Nov 2008?
Readers, Please provide me your guidance....
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Here is my situation - I have filed my I140 and I485 through company A and still waiting on a receipt number for the I485 (filed on July 2007). I have gotten a new job offer with company B. My questions -
1) If I were to transfer my H1B to company B, what would happen to the GC process that I initiated with company A?
2) Also, is it possible to revoke the GC application? If yes, are the filing fees refunded?
Thanks for any advise.

Me and my wife received our EADs and our H1/H4 is valid till 2010.
My wife is attending school being on H4. Since she has EAD, can she work part time(not in school) and keep the H4 status valid.
Please suggest.
Yes, She can work using EAD part time or fulltime. But if she uses EAD, the H4gets invalidated automatically, She should keep renewing the EAD / AP.
Why you want to have the H4 status valid ??
