I agree that protest idea should not be misused. They have listened to us once now they will say "what else they want". Though there are more long terms issues but i guess protest ideas can be saved for later on or wait for the momentum to buildup itself.

That is Wrong. He can enter on H1 still maintain I-485. H1 can be from any compnay.There is reason why H1 is called as dual intent visa.
Read carefully. If a person not maintaining H/L/K/V status just before leaving US (and maintaining only AOS) and left the country without perior approval of AP, is considered he/she abondened the 485. Thats all. After abondment of 485, it does not matter how he re-enters. He can enter on J1, B1, H1. It does not matter.
One MUST NOT leave US with out approval of AP, if he/she maintains only AOS. Only H/L/K/V status holders can leave USA without obtaining AP, and continue to remain in that status after arrival. All others must get AP. Ofcouses, this guy lost his H1 status, after leaving his previous employer and working on EAD.
So do not post wrong info...

The law would also increase numerical caps on the number of visas for countries such as Mexico, the Philippines, China and India. People from those countries hoping to immigrate to the U.S. routinely face waits of more than a decade in a system with a backlog of 5.8 million people.

On reading my last post again, I don't think it is very clear. Let me try to explain again. When my wife comes back into the country, she needs to get a new I-94 at the port of entry. One of my friends mentioned that there is a possibility that the officer could mistakenly stamp the date on the new I-94 card as the same as on my wife's visa stamping (Dec 2007 as per my prior employer). In order to avoid this, should my wife pre-emptively submit her passport as well as transferred I-797 and I-539 and request the officer to stamp the new dates on the I-94 (Dec 2009)? Please advise.

I also want to know if it is ok to join the new employer after the H1b transfer request has been fedexed? or should i wait for the Receipt?
As per my knowledge, in order to work with the new employer, you have to have a receipt number.

Guys,
I just wanted to get an opinion of the gurus whether a person can deal with stock trading while on H1-B visa. Can someone point me to some documentation or laws on this? I plan to open an account with e-trade/scott trade .... Your comments are appreciated.
what laws are you looking for?
AFAIK, there are no restrictions on H1B holder trading a/c. They enjoy same privileges as everybody else.
Uncle sam doesnot care as long as you pay the taxes on ur profits.

Yes, you are right. Now that I think about it, I do remember seeing that a person can apply for their AOS within 6 months of their being out-of-status. I am in close touch w/ my attorney, and he seems to be OK with the situation, but after seeing some disturbing tales on these forums, I wanted to confirm.
Yes, but the time she was without status will count as unlawful presence (depending on I-94). No worries, only 180 days or more of unlawful presence will trigger a three-year inadmissibility ban (see the INA � 212(a)(9)(B)(i)(I)).
I would also advise her not to leave the US until she gets an approval.

Guys, I am in the same boat with my passport expiring in 2007. I will have to get a new passport since the current one was already valid for 10 years (issued in 97).
Does any one here have any experience / ideas on how long it takes to get the new passport from the consulate here ?
Thanks !

Hi Augustus,
Positive in skin test could be because you had taken BCG vaccination in your childhood which is quite common in India. Check with your parents. If that is the case, you are absolutely fine and you don't even have to take medication. Your negative X-ray test confirms that your positive skin test result could be false. Positive test result only indicates that your have TB antibody in your body which is due to vaccination and not because real exposure to TB. Since BCG vaccination is not common in US, they suggest TB skin test.
Please cross check with the doctor on this before reaching any conclusion.
Dear All,
I was doing part -time school in a university and before they wanted to admit me,the university procedures included TB test. I showed positive in skin test and negative in X-ray about 4 months ago.
But the school procedures expected me to take TB tablets otherwise they wont let me register for courses. For the last 4 months I am on TB medication, I have it going on until october of this year.
Right now, I am in a dilemma. Since all our PD's our current, we need to get medical examination done. I don't know how my skin test is going to be since I am taking meds.
Should I inform my doctor that I am on medications or should I just hide it?
And should I take a letter from my school health department about how I don't have TB but been given medicines for School purposes? What should I do?
Please advise.

hi sathweb
Here is a link i found on immigration.com
http://www.immigration.com/newsletter1/submemoins.html
The last section "C. Disposition of Substitution Requests" says
"
If the service center determines that the substituted alien meets
the minimum requirements set forth in the initial labor
certification application as of the date that it was filed with the
state employment office and the I-140 petition is otherwise
approvable, the I-140 petition shall be approved and processed like
any other I-140 petition. The priority date shall be the date
which the original labor certification application was filed with
any office within the employment service system of the DOL. See 8
CFR 204.5(d).
"
This article was dated 07 Mar 1996, I am not sure if the guidelines have since changed.

Based on your receipt number, you have applied for adjustment of status on 80th working day of fiscal year 2002. Sorry to hear that you case still pending. You are concerned now and wokeup from sleep after 2 years, 10 months, 12 days. If you are (1) employment based, post your country of chargability, labor priority date and date your file I485 - some souls can take a educated guess. (2) family based I485, this forum is not for you - your only options is to call USCIS
Thats informative. My receipt is SRC-07-264-XXXXX. The received date is July 2 and notice date is Sept 4. I dont think my application was received on the 264th working day. Even if you consider Sept 4 as the 264th day, that means that there are about 274 working days in a year (Fiscal -Sept 30 or otherwise). That seems too high!

Is your Fed Ex delivery to NSC? Do you know who signed your Package.

Also there is a 4 digit reference : Case #xxxx . Do you have that, Is it anything to do with our 485 or is it just the FEDEX reference number?
Thanks

I do not think it would be prudent of Indian (or any other foreign) government to do so. The best they can do it to try to lure the NRIs back to India. Any effort to request immigration reforms at a government level would not be a dignified action.
The US government may (albeit privately) wonder as to why these foreign governments cannot make mends with their own system so that people do not choose to immigrate in the first place. I do not think a sensible foreign policy on Indian side would let such a talk happen.
Is it a bad idea to ask for help from the indian government, there are ministers like "Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs - Vayalar Ravi" who is supposed to ...........

Thanks for information. To answer I applied my H1b on June 1, 2002.
My school finished on June 11, 2002. I did apply H1 during school but stupid me did not apply OPT. Then I get approve H1b 7 months later, more like 7 months and 20 days almost 8 months then working. I am out of status more 6 months which very bad.
I called many lawyers, some do not want to help a few will write letter ( 1 letter 600.00)
some said I have good chance others said unknown.
I am still out of status even I applied H1b and waiting more 180 days? I think I am, need good reason to put on letter.
