I have my H1 filed in 2008. Due to the market situation, I didn't go for H1 stamping and was never active on H1 so far. I entered US in March 2009 on H4. Now I got a project and want to go for the H4->H1 COS.
I would like to know the steps/process for H4 -> H1 COS.
I know my employer is the best person to answer this. But, the problem is whenever I ask any details, he always tries to abstract the info.
If there are sequence of steps, after which step one is authorized to work? I tried getting the info online, but couldn't . If any of you can give me a pointer or explain the process in detail, it would be very great and helpful.
My employer has applied for LCA. He says that he would initiate the COS process as soon as he gets the LCA. And my employer says that I can start working as soon as he files for COS and no need to wait for the approval. I want to make sure that I don't run into any legal issues. Once the employer has initiated the COS process, is there a way one can track the status and also to verify the status after the completion of the process.
Also, please let me know how much it would cost for normal and premium processing and also the time lines for the normal and premium processing.
Sorry for too many questions. But, please please do help!!!
Thanks a ton in advance!!

PLEASE FILL YOUR PROFILE COMPLETELY.
Now your answers:
1. ................ Yes just H1B xfer, they will extend it upto max of 3 more years.
2. ..................Normally they ask for recent paystubs, but if it is within last 1-2 months it sails through well, w/o triggering RFE. Best option is to do H1b Tranfer under premium processing mode, that way in just few weeks you would know where you stand.
3. ........................ either F1 or H4 or Visitor visa.

Visa Bulletin For June 2011 (http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5452.html)
Hi all
My I-485 is pending(EB-3,India)since 2007. I changed employer & successfully ported PD on new I-140 approval in EB-2 category. My PD is in Oct 2006 & I expect that to become current in the coming few months.
Now, I need to do Interfiling to link my pending I-485 to my new I-140.
(1) What all documents/wordings are required for interfiling? Can someone pls provide a checklist?
(2) Who should do Interfiling- Myself or "Attorney of File" on my original I-485 or my current attorney (who did my new I-140)?
(3) Can I send my Interfiling request to USCIS even before my PD becomes current?
Thanks
Sameer

Thanks for sharing, It describes about Numerical limit not apply during Quarter which means spillover should occur quarterly. I don't think they follow that today.

Hello IVians,
I am with company A on L1B in the US. Company B is processing my GC for future employment. Now my L1B is up for renewal in December. There is a lot of paperwork that my company has asked me work on. In one of the questionnaires, I am asked if my labor / 140 / 485 is pending. I don't know what to answer.
-- The truth.
Does any of the forms for L1B renewal needs this info? Will it be an issue if I say no? Does USCIS really care?
-- if you lie and USCIS finds out then you are in big trouble. Also, existing applications can be looked up at any time (Eg: while adjudicating your 485 they can go over your old L1 application).
Atleast the visa stamping form DS-156 asks if an immigrant visa petition has ever been filed for you, so its not uncommon, dont know about L1.
Pls share your experiences.
Thanks!

to send applications to a wrong center and they'll(USCIS) move it around.
I'm not sure of the dates, someone else might reply
was your 140 approved at TSC? i read somewhere that 485 goes to the same place where 140 was approved. you may want to ask your attorney why they sent to TSC

How can I link to a file or the xml in Blend 4?
Second question, How can I add URL to the texts in Blend 4?
Thanx :D
You can use RichTextBox for inlining hyperlinks. It is available in WPF and Silverlight 4 projects. Your hyperlink can even be a path to a file :)

Your lawyer is very much on the point, H1B is valid only with the Job. Either H1B COS or H1B stamp outside US, you should have the Job offer in Hand, to be on H1B status.

Hi,
My wife got her H1B in Oct 2008. But could not work until date.
We want to get her H1B transferred back to H4. There are NO pay stubs for her.
I am on H1B with job. And I have my pay stubs.
Will there be any problem in her H1B to H4 transfer without her pay stubs ?
Thank you.

Sen. Patrick Leahy ( D-Vermont ) introduced the Uniting American Families Act ( S. 424 ) earlier this year; it has 18 co-sponsors. The bill would allow same sex couples the same immigration rights as married heterosexual couples. Passage of the bill is likely to be tied to overall immigration reform.
At the moment, same-sex partners of legal immigrants do not have the same rights to dependent status that heterosexual spouses get. This is true even if the couple is legally married in their home country. Often, the "dependent" partner must apply for a B-2 visitor visa at the consulate, to accompany his/her partner. This visa is discretionary, and consulates could refuse to issue it. In addition, B-2 status does not allow the dependent partner to work in the US. Many heterosexual dependent spouses have a status that doesn't allow them to work either, however.
As the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/03/us/politics/03immig.html) reports:
Senator Leahy�s bill would add the term �permanent partner� to sections of current immigration law that refer to married couples, and would provide a legal definition of those terms.
�I just think it�s a matter of fairness,� he said Tuesday in an interview, noting that a number of American allies, including Canada, France and Germany, recognize same-sex couples in immigration law. Photo by http://www.flickr.com/photos/boscobridalexpos/

No it shouldnt take that long. However if you are not in a hurry, wait for 30 days and call the USCIS to see if it was sent back (which is unlikely in your case).
And dont waste your time by calling the officials or making Infopass appointments. Apply for a duplicate EAD asap. Yes, you have to pay the fees.

Dear Friends,
I am a derived applicant in my green card process and recently I converted to EAD status from H1B.
My sister is US citizen. I would like to know if I am eligible to file another set of green card application thru family based option that is available. I know its a long queue.
I want to know if I am eligible for this process.
If I am eligible to file, am I eligible to file EAD thru that application as well.
Thanks

My attorney has submitted the documents for I140/485 concurrent filing. UPS has messed up and they lost my documents.It contains original documents for applying I140.
I am wondering if there is any chance that I can send photocopy of documents to USCIS explaining them the situation as I do not want to miss the chance of deadline Aug 17th. Could anyone please suggest me? Did anyone experience the same situation before.
Thanks.
I don't know the answer....but I suggest community to NOT to use UPS...since I also lost my documents couple of times (while sending to attorney). I stopped using it

Hello seeking_GC,
It appears you changed jobs using AC21 and went on to receive your GC. If correct, could you please post your timeline and experience?
Thanks.
I guess posting this was the trigger for USCIS to send the approval. I got the CPO mail in my email a few mins ago!
Hugely Relieved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me know if someone else is in the same situation and I can tell my timeline.
