Hello All,
I created a Twitter handle for IV @ImigrationVoice to lock down on twitter handle. Hopefully, I can contact some core member, and they can own this account going forward.
IV admins can then post relevant updates to twitter as well.

First of all congratulations to all those who got their approval in the last couple months. Now comes the big dilemma for some of us. Did anyone tried to switch their jobs, or at least, ditch their current employer? Did anyone switched their employer immediately after the green card approval? I am sailing in this boat. I want to switch my employer ASAP, but is hesitating to do so... as you know there are some obvious reasons later. What are other problems that you think other than getting tons of questions during the citizenship? Appreciate your answers. ;)

1. An F2B petition can be converted and you will retain the original priority date as long as you do not marry before your father is granted citizenship.
2. You can and probably should pursue both family based and employment based permanent resident status simultaneously.

A good attorney would never recommend job description in such micro terms. What does your labor certification say ? Match it as much to that one. CIS is not concerned about that level of micro detail (servlets or XML). The description should be a a level that can be easily understood by an adjudicator.

Short version: If GC is applied and it is close to 300 days only (and not mandatory 365), is it possible to get further H1B extensions after reaching maximum limit? If so, how?
I am in a unique situation. Here's my long story.
I have been on H1B since I landed in USA. My current H1B expires on 04/15/2012.
That would be close to 12 years on H1B. I know, very long.
After my first 6 years on H1B, I received further extensions based on my pending Green card application and approved I-140.
My most recent/current H1B extension was received with a different company, and I would like to stick with this one for a long time. The 3-year extension received in April 2009 was based on previous I-140.
The problem is, due to certain circumstances which are beyond my control, there is a possibility that the previous GC application and I-140 could be revoked. And this revocation could happen very soon.
Considering that I can get my further H1B extensions only with my current company's new green card application, I have very limited time now. Assuming the process gets completed only in the next 60-90 days, I will have only 300 days before my H1B expires.
I understand that to get H1B extension after maximum limit of 6 years ( in my case longer), the applied GC application should be older than 365 days.
Is there a legal way to extend my H1B next year under these circumstances? If so how?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am on Adv-Parole (with EAD) and planning to visit India in July 2010.
I know that UK and France require transit visa, but I was wondering whether I can fly via KLM (Amsterdam) OR Lufthansa (Frankfurt) without any transit visa ?
Will appreciate the response.
Thanks,
Venu.
Hi Venu,
I can say with certainity that transit visa is not required for return through Amsterdam on AP. This year 2010, was my second travel through Amsterdam with AP and the port officials really respected the document and treated me very well.

I recently applied and got my schengen visa. My case was pretty similar to yours. You should be able to use your AP document to apply for visa. They will also request you to show your travel itinerary. I do not see any problems if your return date on the travel itinerary is before your AP expiry date.

First off, there is nothing like EAD status. What you are right now is AOS-pending. It does not matter that you are a dependent on your spouse's or parent's adjustment of status application. You may work as long as your EAD is valid. You may also decide not to work if you so desire. As long as your AOS application is in process you are under what is termed authorized stay, so your stay is legal.

My parents are going back to India in April'10 just before completion of their 6 months. But they want to come back again after 3 weeks. They have got their visa for 1 year. So they can stay another 4 months on their 2nd trip from May'10 to Aug'10.
Is it going to be a problem during their next visa stamping or immigration at airport as they will end up staying 10 months in US out of their 1 year approved visa ?
Please advise.

Yes there are limits to salary. I will try to post more details on it when time permits and as I myself find details from my own research.
Basically, stay above what was in your labor/140. Do not go too high, 10% per year raise is ok. Job duties should stay same or similar. You can be a sr. software programmer from a software programmer but not a VP or Architect...(you got my point).
This is a gray area and tough to get a correct advice easily.
This is also a big issue for our community since people cannot get promoted or take big salary raises due to this limitation. Ask people who are stuck in 485 stage for many years.
I know a lot of people are counting days to just jump into a new job after 180 days. But make sure you factor in all the risks when you do this. Be prepared for an RFE on it.
and BTW I am reading so many posts that say you can jump jobs before 180 days. Please do not misrepresent the Yates Memo and regulations to prove a point. You need to stck to the job for 180 days definitely. The only exception is that if you are sure that the job offer will wait for you indefinitely in infinite future when you get an RFE. Do not take immigration laws lightly. And yes, always seek advice from a good lawyer when you take such important decisions. Forums are simply opinions from people without a law degree or experience.
will post more on this thread as I find more info

H1 processing for 2nd time : First 6 yrs on H1 over!
My 6 yrs of stay on H1 gets over in November 2007. I have not applied for GC. I know that I need to stay outside the US for a period of 1 year before starting a new H1. I will be going back to my country in November.
Can I find a company which will apply for H1 for me in April 2008 and enter US in Nov.2008 (after I complete 1 year stay outside the US)?
Am I eligible to apply immediately in April 2008? Or do I need to complete 1 yr of stay outside the US before even applying for a fresh H1?
When will I be able to enter the US : after Nov.2008 or Oct.2009.
Any inputs in this regard will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello All,
I am going to India and have to go for stamping. I come under Chennai consular district but planning to go to Delhi because of high rejection rate in Chennai.
First thing, I am not sure if I can go to Delhi when I come under Chennai consular district.
Second thing is, should there be a valid reason with supporting documents for attending the visa appointment in Delhi instead of Chennai.
Your thoughts and experiences on the above points would be very helpul for me in resolving this issue. Thanks a lot.
Why not any of the consulates in Mexico ( Juarez, nogales, el paso etc). If you have all the documents related to your employment and are able to prove you are still working and necessary for your job you should get your visa. It all depends on the documents presented and some of it on your luck
- good luck
