Hello I am leaving for India in two days and have still not received my H1B approval. The receipt date is May 19th 2009. It is being processed at the CA center, is there anything I can to do get it soon.
It was a regular processing one, not the Premium processing one.
Help please!!!!
I am not sure what kind of help you are expecting from members. It seems you already are aware of Premium Processing (PP) service. If you had travel plans, you should have filed H1 under PP and not under regular processing. Anyways, you can upgrade your pending H1 to PP now by filing a form I-907 along with a copy of H1 receipt notice. But I dont think you will get your approval in the next 2 days. It usually takes atleast a week to 10 days to get it, that if its approved with no RFEs.

Hi all, not sure if this has been posted in any other thread, if so, Admin please delete.
I was surprised to get a letter in mail from USCIS today dated March 26th referring my letter sent to White House from IV letter campaign.
Basically it says the letter was forwarded to USCIS from White House and after they researched my case, it is still under name check and my PD is not current yet for a visa. They also included three inserts on fact sheet about name checks-why and how, new memorandum on name checks that has been discussed here and the March/08 visa bulletin showing that my priority date is not current.
Just basic stuff but I wonder if these are being sent to everyone that sent a letter to the President during the campaign. Anyone else received the letter?
Anything on 2 year EAD?

I would suggest you go after July....Your stamping is not an issue here.....The issue will be with your I-94 when you get back into US...Since your new H1 doesnt start until July 31st, if you try to enter US in June, your new I-94 will only be valid until July 30 as the immigration officer cannot grant you entry until July 2010 based on future approval start date if its not within 15 days...My friend was in this situation before and he had to file for extension again as he only got his new I-94 valid until the date of his old I-797...

H4 is completely depends on your H1, does not matter if it is an extension or new. If you have good to take it with other documents, if not, I don't think thats a problem. As long as you have all your H1 documents ready, she will get it.

QUESTION::
Can we use automatic revalidation to enter USA without getting our visa's stamped. My h1 expired in 2006 and my spouse�s H4 expired in 2006.
(Remember my spouse is applying for H1 )
ANSWER:: No, with Canadian GC you can not enter USA for long term work, without stamping. I think entry for one month is permitted.
QUESTION:: How safe it is Frequent travel to Canada and back
ANSWER:: It is safe to cross US and Canada border, if you have multiple entry visa.
QUESTION:: How safe it is to stay in Canada for duration of 3-6 months and come back to USA
ANSWER:: As long as you are in H1 B there is no restriction. In future if you enter I-485, there are complications, if you continue to travel back and forth at that time too.
QUESTION:: Once my spouse gets the H1 approved, should he move to H1 immediately or can continue on H4?
ANSWER:: Once the H1 is approved and if the new I-94 is attached at the bottom of the H1 approval, then it means the status from H4 to H1 is transferred. If there is no I-94 then the status will get transferred while you get the visa stamping.
QUESTION:: Stamping of H1 (first stamping for H1 in Canada) after conversion from H4[/QUOTE]
ANSWER:: It is ok to apply for stamping in Canada, because you have a residency there. If there is an issue then US embassy in Canada may ask you to get it stamped in your home country.
REQUEST ::
Please support IV.

If your university is outside of USA, then how about you get a Foreign Credential Evaluation done..This will clearly state, if your educational qualifications are considered equivalent to a Masters in the USA..This will enable you to file your application with confidence...Talk to your lawyer.
Good luck.

As a California immigration lawyer who files many asylum cases, I am used to thinking of a the United States as a place of refuge and to documenting the horrible country conditions of other countries. I have successfully represented applicants for asylum who feared staying in their countries because while serving in their countries' armies, they were harmed on account of their sexual orientation.
It is therefore rather surprising to come across a story of a U.S.soldier who is fleeing to Canada (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/11/20/refugee-board-soldier-lesbian.html) because she fears harm in the U.S. Army on account of her sexual orientation. According to CBC news, U.S. Army Pte. Bethany Smith fled Canada in September 2007 from a U.S. Army base in Fort Campbell, Ky. She applied for refugee status in October 2007, saying that she was harassed and threatened by fellow soldiers over her sexual orientation and feared that her life would be in danger if she were deported and returned to the army. The Canadian authorities initially rejected in her claim in February 2009. However, on appeal, the Federal Court of Canada held that the refugee board must reconsider the case again because the Board made several mistakes in initially reviewing her claim.
The Federal Court's decision (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Smith%20and%20the%20Minister%20of%20Citizenship%20 and%20Immigration.pdf)noted that the refugee board failed to fully consider the evidence pertaining to the situation of gays and lesbians in the U.S. Army to determine whether Pte. Smith could have availed herself of protection in the United States. The Federal Court also noted that the Board failed to determine whether Pte. Smith would be persecuted on account of her social group - as a lesbian in the U.S. Army if forced to return. There were other errors mentioned in the decision.
It is sad that the U.S. policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," is the basis of an asylum claim in Canada. Pt. Smith was only 19 years old when she fled to Canada. From everything I read, it appears that she wanted to serve in the U.S. Army and no real desire to leave the United States. At a time when we apparently need people to serve in the Armed Forces and in fact give non-citizens a way to immigrate to the United States faster for their service, it seems ridiculous that an American citizen should have to leave. It it is time to eliminate the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

It is not illegal. Some companies apply for extensions a bit late and in the mean time, the VISA expires. It is OK. At the most he/she will not be able to drive as the drivers license is linked to the VISA expiry.
Fine then of course.

DHS Leadership Journal Has Just Posted the Following:
I am extremely pleased to congratulate the crew of the cutter Bertholf for their first drug interdiction on one of our new national security cutters. This success demonstrates the capability of this important national security asset and directly supports the department's strategy for protecting and securing the southwest border.
The national security cutter program (http://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/NSC/) is a vital component of the Department's effort to rebuild the Coast Guard (http://www.uscg.mil/)'s fleet so that it can continue its proud history of executing important missions to support the nation's maritime security and safety while protecting our economic prosperity.

Last week I visited the cutter Dallas in a shipyard in Charleston. The Dallas, and her sister ship Gallatin, are undergoing extensive work to repair major structural and machinery problems that are the result of their age and overuse. The national security cutter program will replace these 40-year old, Vietnam era vessels with modern, capable ships to secure America.
In Wednesday's seizure off the coast of Guatemala, the crew of the Bertholf disrupted four drug smuggling speedboats at the same time with their multiple pursuit boats and helicopter. The crew successfully captured two vessels and four suspects while disrupting the other two boats.
The continued renewal of the Coast Guard fleet and use of modern technology across the department is an indispensable part of our strategy to improve the ability of DHS to secure our nation and protect its citizens.

Hello Friends,
My wife is on F1, doing her masters and is done with her course work, just left with one project (2 credits). Her college has the option of getting CPT (curriculum practical training) signed till the time her masters is not complete and then she is allowed to work off campus for 40 hours (full time).
I have also filled for my 485 application, so I was wondering what is her status now after filling for 485 . Also is it fine if she gets her CPT signed now after filing I485. I just want to be sure that getting her CPT signed has no negative impact on our I 485.
Any suggestions or anyone in similar situation
Thanks!

You get SS after you cross 55 or 58 I think. How knows by then they might bring some law to stop the SS for outsiders.
There is a archive thread on this already.Read it dear h1bs.
the only reason i'm staying here is to complete the 10 years of social security payments. leaving now would be foolish. this green card business is just a carrot to get endlessly humiliated.
does anyone have any knowledge of non-citizens claiming social security in india?
as per the SS, indian citizens who have contributed >= 10 years can claim SS payments in india.

has anyone actually seen this happen?
