I value the contribution of IV a lot, but saying that you will get an answer only if you contribute is lame.. This is a public forum and all contributions are voluntary. Your answer degrades the noble cause of IV. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
An answer will magically appear after you have contributed to the IV cause.

Hi All,
My previous I-140 was denied due to the ability to pay issue since company was in loss and Idid not get prevailing wage since PD.I have appealed it hoping I can extend my h1 beyond 6th year.Is it true?
Also, Now we have pre approved labor with lower in same company where I can satisfy by showing W-2 to prove the ability to pay. Now If I am planning to apply another I-140 with labor sub,
would it matter to the new I-140 appllication if the previous I-140 was denied and is being currently appealed? Because in the I-140 form there is a question ,
"Has any Immigrant visa petition been filed by or on this person?"
Should I say "YES", Right? and also give the detail of previous filing????
Also How does USCIS verify the W2?BY contacting the IRS or ?
Please suggest?
Thanks

I thought I would post on how I resolved my expired I-94 issue today. Could be of help to someone.
I have an I797 and corresponding H1-B visa valid until March 31st 2011.
When I last came into the US on Dec 31st 2009, the immigration officer stamped the I-94 valid until date as March 30th 2010. Essentially giving me only three months of stay.
I did not notice the problem (coming in after a long flight and being jet lagged didn't help) until yesterday when my attorney was going through my documents for some other purpose. As of yesterday I had been out of status for over 3months.
We called the CBP office at Pittsburgh Airport (where i reside) and explained the situation to them. They asked my visa validity date and passport validity date on the phone. After which I was asked to go the the CBP office and get it corrected.
Today morning I headed over there and was met with the most friendly immigration officers I have ever met. Pittsburgh rocks in that. When he heard my case, he asked me if I had presented my latest I-797 to the officer at the time of stamping. When I replied yes, he said it did not make sense why the officer stamped the date he did. He asked to see my passport and I-797 and in 10 minutes told me he would be issuing me a new I-94 with the correct stamped date as March 31st 2011.
Afterwards he mentioned that it was expired and I was lucky because some other officer could have asked me to do a reinstatement (something that apparently costs a lot of money and a lot more trouble according to him)
In my case it was a genuine mistake on the immigration officer's part, since all my documents at the time of the samping indicated a later date. IMO that was the critical factor.
However, as he advised, please be extra sure before you step away from the counter at port of entry, that all your stamps are correct.
Good luck for anyone facing this problem, if you have the valid documents the officers are most probably going to correct the mistake and not give you a hard time about it.:)

Once you take appointment you can call the same consulate and sned required documents and get PIMS verified.
You mean even the consultaes in India verify that ? I thought only those in Mexico do that.

To all fellow GC applicants and immigration gurus.I have this question to ask.I recently got my I-140 and applied I-485 (Aug 1 2007).
My employer is moving office to new address.How will it effect my future GC process ?. Thanks in advance
If the company is moving within the same county then no issues.
If it's moving to a different state (or) to a different county within the same state, then refer the following thread
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=158508&postcount=7
Remember, the prevailing wage differs from county to county even within the same state.

;) Yes my friend, you can change your jobs after 6 months of filing I-485 with I-140 approved.
Can I change my job after 6 months of applying I485 with valid EAD?
I have EB2 I140 approved.
I-485 applied this July.
Thank you.

It seems as if the Big B has not given up on this issue just yet. He is making it a point to mention it atleast once each week, despite what other international developments are going on. I think he will be putting the full court press on the house republicans, it will be interesting to see whether he gets them to accept some compromise.
---------
Republican Congress("C") is in no mood to play ball with Bush.
In fact it is a three way fight, with Senate not passing the "Minimum wage/ Estate tax bill," Congress is in no mood to bargain with Senate either.
Let us think about our strategy for a Democrat controlled Congress in February 2007.

You can certainly maintain your H-1B status while the EB-5 immigrant visa petition is pending, though you would not be authorized to work for the EB-5 enterprise until an EAD filed in conjunction with your I-485 is approved.

My received date is Aug 15, 2007.
I looked at the new I485 instructions and the fee now is $985.00.
So i think I payed under the old structure. I am going to include the fee for both of them.
Thanks for your help!

Hello all,
I am currently on H1B visa working for an IT company. I have got an admit for this Fall to do my MS and I was planning to study using my EAD. Now there seems to be some risk in using my EAD and so I want to apply for F1. I have applied for I-485 (Adjustment of status) along with my husband's green card application.
My question is:
1: Is it a problem to apply for F1 if my I-485 is pending approval ? The reason I ask is, F1 is a Non Immigrant visa and I-485 is for a green card (which is Immigrant visa).
2: Would my F1 application cause my 485 to be denied or vice versa ?
Thanks in advance

Silicon Valley Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
A quick review of the list of largest H-1B (http://www.geelaw.com/lawyer-attorney-1054805.html)users for FY 2009 shows high tech and Silicon Valley topping the list. The top users of the H-1B program for 2009 included multi-national technology companies headquartered, and with branch offices in Silicon Valley. Wipro tops the list with 1,964 new H-1B visas. Microsoft is second with 1318, but then Intel Corp has a big drop off at 723 H-1B's The list of Silicon Valley companies continues, including Infosys Technologies (440), Qualcomm (320), Cisco (308), Oracle (272), Google (211), Yahoo (183), Apple (168), Nvidia (130), and Hewlett Packard (115). While there is no way to know whether these companies sponsored employees located in Silicon Valley, as opposed to another office location, it is clear that high-tech and Silicon Valley are standouts on the list of H-1B employers.
Those who assume the H-1B is a tool used primarily by IT companies may be surprised to see the number of prestigious universities and medical facilities also nearing the top of the list. H-1B visas are work visas for professional workers who typically require at least a Bachelor's degree for entry into their profession. This includes teachers, professors, doctors, and scientists in addition to engineers.
The first two pages of the list are below:
