I (and my spouse as dependent) applied for I-485, AP, and EAD on July 17, 07 and am yet to get the receipt notice. My (and my spouse's) H-1 expires on 12/31/07 and I plan to travel out of the US between November 8 and December 24.
In case, the I-485 receipt notice does not come before we leave, would we be considered as having abandoned the PR application? Any idea how long it might take for the receipt notice to come for people in my shoes?

The application procedures vary based on the consulate you are planning to visit for visa stamping.
so which consulate you are planning to visit to get visa stamping? no need for emergency appointment if you are planning to get it done in india.
in india, from October 2006 things are changed, you can get appointment easily, even now there are dates available in december (also in november). if you book now, you can get appointment in december.
check VFS sites. if you have any questions about the eliglibity, contact VFS numbers or send email from the following page:
https://www.vfs-usa.co.in/ApplnForms/RulesAndFees/CustomerFeedback.aspx
also you can check appointment dates at one of the indian consulates at the following page and at the bottom of the page, click the link 'Click here for an estimate of current availability of visa interview appointments':
https://www.vfs-usa.co.in/Home.aspx
To book appointment in VFS site, you need HDFC receipts from HDFC bank branch for each of the applicants, so for procedure, check fees and forms link in this VFS site.
At the beginning, the principal applicant can create one application with his/her hdfc receipt number with other reqd details and later can add their dependents at later stage of application. You can fill other DS-156/157 forms here.
good luck!!!!

I'm not an immigration attroney, so consult one for your situations as laws/procedures keep changing.
Hello All - I understand from the website that the people already working in the US qualify for an emergency appointment if they are returning back to work in the US. Does anyone if this rule is also applicable it is the first time you are getting a H1-B visa stamp? I got a COS and am planning to get a stamp in December. I know that more dates are available now .. but was wondering if the need arises will I eligible for emergency appointment?
Thanks!

Yes you can but at some point it is safer for you to have worked for at least some time with Company A. Please confirm with others.
Between, you just invoke AC21 automatically under the guidelines - there is nothing to "file" per se, unless you want to send out your new offer letter to USCIS along with other supporting documents.

You must have filed 2 G28s ( 1for you and 1 for spouse) with the 485. With that logic, when you change attorney, separate G28s are needed to be filed for you and spouse.

It all depends on their background check and security requirements.
As a non-US citizen your EAD has the same worth as a H1B for these jobs. Same is the case for LPR's for US Federal jobs with various security clearance checks (where only US Citizens can apply).

Microsoft OS does not take greater than 2036 for some reason. I am not sure if folks use common sense, it is better for u to follow up to get it corrected, if they used common sense, you will wait AEO or something like next generation dinosaurus age for a GC :-) may be u have a futuristic PD :p
I just noticed that the I-140 my lawyer submitted 3 months ago to Nebraska has a typo in my DOB (21/07/2978 instead of 21/07/1978). Yes its a thousand years out! A copy of my latest I-94 and visa both showing my correct DOB were also submitted with the I-140.
Do any of you guys think I'll have the I-140 rejected, recieve an RFE, or will the Nebraska officer just use common sense and amend it himself? What do you reccomend I do if anything?

oh my! It is really painful to see that you have been waiting this long.. Based on your priority date, you should be current next month. Good luck.

Thanks a lot for the update !!
Really appreciate it.
My problem is in few days the date for visa appointment will be open i.e Jun-13 and I will be booking for that date. I'm flying on Jun-10 so I'm left with exactly 5 weeks, in this time will I be able to get the new LCA and amended H1 ?

Thank you hpandey for the clarification. If I apply H1B extension in premium processing in apr itself, I will know soon if it will go through or not. My plan is to apply H1B transfer immediately to a new employer in case of H1B extension denial from the current employer, as I will still have valid H1B for few more months till Sep 09.
One more doubt I have is whether it will raise a red flag for USCIS, if I apply premium processing in apr 09 for extension from oct 1st 09 or will it be fine. Please let me know.

I was on L1B for few years and applied for H1B from home country. First H1 approval was for 3 years. However, the H1 extn was approved for 1 year only, although the request was for 3 years.
Same thing happend for 3 of my friends.
You have to be out of country for 1 year to reset the clock.

Hello experts,
Here is a situation of my friend .
1.He lost his and his wife's passport alongwith the receipt notices and FP notice.The current visa which has expired and I-94 is also lost.
2.The lost passport includes the old passport with old visa in it.
Can you please throw some light as to what are his options.
Thanks & Regards
Did he filed a police complaint? If not, ask him to file a police complaint and then apply for a duplicate passport with a copy of old passport along with the copy of police complaint.
After getting the duplicate passport, (if he goes to his respective embassy, I think he may be able to get the duplicate in a day) ask him to call USCIS and talk to immigration officer. He also may need to contact his attorney who will provide a plan to obtain duplicate copies.
Thanks

its common belief that you need to work for 6 months.
There is no immediate problem if you don't but looks bad on citizenship time.
IO looks suspiciously at N-400 stage
Things you mentioned are not in you control so it would be OK. But if you leave on your own then may be a problem....

My case is like this....
Actually I got approval notice of H1 transfer case in month of Nov 2009 for which my current employer initiated in month of Aug 2008.
During transfer case in pending status, I got an RFE in April 2009 for which my employer submitted concerned document...later I did not have any updates of my case until Aug 2009 when employer called me and told about an second RFE which was about client letter...I lost my running project job becoz of that. but my employer again submitted client letter from somewhere which I dont know.....I thought now everything is good..but I did not get approval update from USCIS/employer after that also......
After 3 months when I check case updtate on USCIS portal then I found that my case is reopened and approved. Later when I get project and asked for salary increment to employer then he told me that there is no second RFE actually he received denial notice. I was shocked and asked him why did not he tell me about that as he has not given me any RFE related document of my case so I have to belive on his words.
Now my queries with different scenarios is as follow
Q1)If I file WH4 against him for those bench
period without any newly initiated transfer (petition belongs to that employer only)...will there be any problem for me as that period was out of status (as said by my employer)?
Q2)also will it affect if I newly initiate transfer process to another employer which is suppose in pending status ?
Q3)If I have approved petition of newly initiated transfer(of another employer) but WH4 case gets denied. will it affect my approved petition?
Q4) if both H1B transfer to new employer and WH4 case against previous employer is in pending status ...and WH4 gets denied will it affect my pending transfer case?
Q5) Is it really good to file WH4 case against previous employer as soon as I start another transfer? what will be your opinion whether to file WH4 case before new H1 transfer or after when received RFE on pending new H1 Transfer case.
Appreciate if any attorney can help me in this situatation.....
thanks......
