I was in united states for 5 years and 2 months on H1-B visa. I did not apply for green card during my stay and had to return to India in Aug'2008 due to personal reasons. I want to find out if I am eligible for applyng H1 in this year's quota through same employer with whom I had earlier H1.
Here is my situation -
1. My H1-B petition is valid till 12th July 2009. My passport is not stamped to reflect this date.
2. I came back to India for good on 31st August 2008.
3. If I go back to US before 12th July, I will only get extension for remaining 10 months (as I was in us for 5 years and 2 months). But I want to go for couple of years, so have to go on new visa after completion of 1 year in India.
So I want to check if I am eligible for filing H1-B in this year's quota through same employer ?

My company applied my GC is EB3. I am on H1b and has close to 15 months of my visa.
I am currently in 5th year of My h1. I have 140 approved and I want to change my job due to my financial burdens..
q: Can i change job after getting 3 more years of extension? I meant, Can I transfer the H1 which was applied with 140 after 6 years of stay? Is there a possibility that current employer can do any thing?
Also, can i port the current priority date of green card and apply a new one in Eb2 future?
q: Based on the current labor and 140 waiting time, can 15 months will be enough to change the job and apply a green card and get labor & 140 approved?
if you faced similar situation or having information, can you pass me the same. Thanks a ton.

Hi,
I came to the USA on F-1 student visa which is expired on 2005. Currently I have H1B status (I-797 form) (and NOT a stamped visa) and I-94 attached to the I-797 form.
My question is that. Can I visit Canada for less than 30 days and coming back without the need to get a visa (automatic visa re-validation) OR I have to get a visa?
I am worried because I never have a stamped H1B visa on my passoprt. Only H1B status + I94 which are not attached to the passoprt?
I need your help and how can I make sure as I do not want to lose my job.
Thank you,
John

It doesn't matter how you get the magnification - whether by extension or by a "real" macro lens, you're going to have to deal with very thin DOF. Small apertures are about the only thing you can do.
The only other option - available only if your subject is perfectly stationary - is to put your camera on a geared focusing rail and shoot numerous frames, repositioning the camera slightly from front to back in between each image. Software is available (designed for microscopy) that will mix the sharpest parts of each frame, giving you an image that has greater DOF than possible to obtain optically in one frame due to physical principles.

Hello,
Here's my situation. I have an approved I-140 (EB2), my I-485 has been pending for more than an year. Due to recent lay-offs, I will have to change my employer through an H-1B transfer. My wife was on H-4. However, just this year she got an H-1B approval with consular processing since when we applied for her H-1b this year, she was not in US.
Now 2 weeks back, her employer applied for her COS through regular processing. I assume this takes about 3-4 months.
My question is - now that I am doing my H-1B transfer to another employer, do I have to worry about my wife's H-4 extension as well, or just leave that as it is, as her application for COS to H-1B is pending with USCIS.
Please advise.
Thanks

I have applied concurrently for green card under EB2 in August 2007.Received I140 approval and I485 is in process. Have applied for H1b extension and is pending. I am working for a consulting firm at present. I got job offer for a permanent position with the client that has same job duties and title. But the salary is about $20, 000 lower than what my consulting firm is paying now. My labor was applied with a higher salary. Can this lower salary and the difference create problems with the green card processing? Did anyone have any of this experience? Please help!!!

Simple answer is there is no such thing as a temprorary EAD. There used to be but they were eliminated some years ago.
You will just have to wait and hope. If however, the processing time exceeds 90 days you can take an infopass appointment and the local office will contact the service center to get things rolling.

Dear All,
I am leaving for India to get married in November. I haven't got my 485 receipt as yet nor have I got my H1-B transfer approval. I expedited my H1-B to premium processing and expect a reply soon.
I leave for India in the first week of November. Now what would happen if I get my finger printing appointment and I am in India?? Can i postpone it?
Thanks

No need to file 2nd I-485.
Just update your existing I-485 with 2nd I-140 and claim earlier PD. You can claim PD with EB2.
Your lawyer should be able to do that.

Thanks for your response.
I forgot to mention this, client company got acquired by another company. And I have first company name on approved I-140 (EB2).
Do i have to file successor-in-interest before i update my existing i-485 with I-140 (EB2)?

for 482 the 2 checks of 325 and 70 and one check of 180$ for I765 should be payble to 'Department of Homeland Security', or 'United States Citizenship and Immigration Service'
The form says it should be payble to 'Department of Homeland Security' and the immigration voice 485 help thread says it should be payble to 'United States Citizenship and Immigration Service' .
Please suggest and sorry if this si a repost. I could not find a exact answer.

I don't have a lawyer. I will do the correction myself when I get the receipt.
Good luck to you.
I am in the same boat as u r in.....I made a typo on I-485 and want to send a letter....On form 485 for the question "In what status u last entered" I entered H-1B when it should really be F-1.....After sending them the letter, do u know if we'll get a confirmation saying that our request has been approved?

Here is my estimate on the timeframe:
Prepare job description etc. - 1 to 2 months (depends on company and attorney)
Prevailing Wages - 2 months (this is based on the current centralized processing)
Recruitment Process - 2 to 3 months (depends on company and attorney)
PERM Labor approval - 9 months (if it gets audited, it would take around 2 years)
I140 - 4 months (you can reduce it if you can file premium processing)
I485 - This depends on the EB category & VISA dates - if it is EB3 India, it would probably be 7-10 years or more
I am not trying to be pessimistic. This is based on what I have observed and read. I have been in this country for 10 years on H1B. I am currently waiting for my Prevailing Wages request to be processes (for my 3rd labor application). It is a long process, but as long as you are working for a good company that treats you well, you should be able to endure the pain.
