What is the best possible solution to get around different place birth on Passport and BC. Any has affidavit format for such issue please share it.
According to chat transcript from a lawyer's site some one had the same question. The answer is "USCIS does not care much about secondary document like passport and what's in the primary document like Birth certificate is important and matters". In other words they may not be comparing the passport and birth certificate for place of birth. Just my 2cents as I'm not a lawyer.
Hope this helps.

My company wants me to relocate to another state. Because of which I need to re apply for new LC for green card processing. My current approved LC is EB3. My question: To be able to apply for EB2 position, can I use training & experience gained in my current company?

Excellent words Ragz,
However i have found that motivating Desis is like milking a male buffalo (no offence to our fellow desis helping out on Immigration Voice.
There is just too much inertia, plain negativity, fear of being prosecuted etc. Besides WAYYY too many ppl like to sit on the fence and wait it out, see which way things swing and then take action at the last minute.
Also this might be a good time to mention community support. The Illegals, to the best of my knowledge get a good amt of community support. To the extent that even amnesty bills are introduced. Try getting the Local Indian communities to help. Most will give u long talks and suggestions, but Few will open their wallets.

I have to admit that I'm a little less educated in these immigration things than a lot of others. So, some questions might be of very basic nature.
I have been with a company for almost 9 years now. It was a relatively small one (2000 people). A bigger company (20,000 people) bought that. And, an even bigger (70,000 people) one bought that !! In all this process, my H-1B and GreenCard applications have been well-cared for by the company attorneys/lawyers. My I485 was filed in July 2007 during the rush. I have EAD...it has been renewed once as well.
My PD is NOT current as of September VB.
Although I have EAD, I used my H-1B extension to enter US in 2008 as this H-1B is valid till Jun 2010.
Now, I see a possibility of getting laid-off due to the latest acquisition/merger.
In order to find a new job, I want to know what all things I should care about and/or worry about. I don't think if I get laid-off, the company will do anything nasty without talking to me or at least telling me. So, here is what I'm trying to find out :
00. Should I immediately hire a lawyer to care for my pending I485 case with USCIS ?
01. If laid-off, what documents should I ask from my company for my records ?
02. I have EAD. So, is it true that I can still live in US as long as I want/my case is in pending status even if I cannot land a job ? If not true, how much time do I have on my hands to wrap-up and leave ?
03. Do I HAVE TO find a new employer that will be willing to support my I485 case ? If so, what all things the new employer will need to do ? Or, can I join a company that is may not be willing to support a foreign national's GC process and handle the case myself ?
04. Is it ABSOLUTELY necessary to find a job that identical to what job I'm currenytly doing and my LC was certified for ?
05. If and when laid-off, can I do part-time jobs that are related to the field of my epertise but not same in nature as in my LC. For example : If I'm a Java programmer, can I teach at a training institute couple hours a day, 3-days a week ?
Any response will be very much appreciated...
Thanks&Regards

That's a good sign for folks who wants to file green card next year and could not file this year becos of bad labor market
The most recent update from the USCIS is showing again a steady approval rate. The jump we saw in October was just due to a more current update of the approval, nit an increase in filing according to the USCIS. If this pace will continue we will see visas all through early 2010, but I may be wrong here...
Ao here is is the update from USCIS: As of November 6, 2009, approximately 54,700 H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) cap-subject petitions had been filed. USCIS has approved sufficient H1-B petitions for aliens with advanced degrees to meet the exemption of 20,000 from the fiscal year 2010 cap. Any H1-B petitions filed on behalf of an alien with an advanced degree will now count toward the general H1-B cap of 65,000. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.

If you can go out of the country and return on L1 the new I-94 will take effect. COS should not impact, An attorney can advise better on this.

Sorry to hear that your wife's 485 application will be denied. I know that once she uses her EAD then she loses her H4 eventhough her passport still has a stamp expiring Feb 08. Since she will definitely be losing her EAD because of AOS denial it will be better for you to apply for her H4 asap. To be on the safe side, always consult a lawyer. Good luck! :)

All of the other values display correctly, right?
If you are using VS, can you set a breakpoint at DetailsPanel.ItemsSource = stories and see if all of the values are also present?

Hi, I have a few questions about H-1B and switching to B1/2 status. I was recently laid off, and have an effective termination date of Apr 27. My firm also told me that they typically notify USCIS of this on May 15th. I am currently looking for a new job, but want to also plan in case I don't find one. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read these questions and help me out with them.
1. If I find a new job before May (or May 15th), can I start working the moment the new employer files a petition? Do we have to wait for any notification from USCIS (like a receipt) first? If not, can I work the same date as the postmark date of the filing?
2. In the above case, does my employer still have to file an LCA with DoL? If so, how long does this process take? I guess what I'm trying to wonder is, if I accept an offer and they begin paperwork on Day 1, what day can I actually work?
3. If I do not find a job, when should I file an I-539 to change status to B1/2 (does it matter if B1 or B2?)? I guess what "postmark" date should I do this by? Apr 27? May 15th?
4. After I mail in the change of status, but haven't actually changed yet (I hear this can take 2 months?), and I get a job offer, when can I start working? Do I lose my "instant-work" ability, and have to wait for the H1-B petition to clear? Is this when I want to use Premium Processing and hopefully be ready in 2 weeks? What happens to my pending B1/2 application?
5. If I already received my B1/2 change of status, and now find a job, when can I work? Is this the same as Question 4?
6. I understand that I am no longer subject to the cap, so my employer simply has to file a LCA and a petition for H1-B, in general?
7. In the I-539 form, it asks to mail in my I-94 card (original). Until I get a new one, what status am I in? If I end up leaving the country then, what card do I surrender? It feels weird to not have a I-94 on my passport...
8. The I-539 form seems simple enough to fill out. Any thoughts on whether I need a lawyer for this?
9. Did I forget anything? :confused:
Thanks so much again. I look forward to your helpful replies.

Current employer A, H1B cap-exempt and in 2nd year. Both H1B and attached I-94 will expire on 7/5/2009.
New employer B, H1B cap-subject, required starting to work on July 7/27/2009 or I may loose my offer.
I-485 is pending > 180 days. I have EAD and AP in hand. On 2/4/2008 I used AP once and the entry I-94 says PAROLED until 2/3/2009.
One attorney suggested to be able to start to work for employer B on 7/27/2009, I�ll need to file a new H1B (or you call it transfer) petition before 7/5/2009, requesting the start date on Labor Condition Application to be 7/27/09. The new H1B effective date will still be 10/1/2009.
Regardless the issue of going back to H1B from parole, my question is what is my status during the gap between 7/5/2009-7/27/2009 (before LAC effective) or 7/5/2009-9/30/2009 (Before new H1B effective)?
The other question is when you apply for H1B extension/transfer after using AP, which I-94 did you gave to USCIS?

I did same 4 years ago. You can travel while your H1B transfer is pending.
1. Can I visit india while my tranfer is pending...???
Yes you can.
2. if I plan to visit india after H1b aproval, do I need to get a new visa stamping for company B or can I travel back with company A visa ..??
I got a new stamping before i came back to US. But while my application was pending, i called US Consulate in India they said you don't need one as long as current stamping on passport is valid. They said you just need to show new company's appointment/employment letter at immigration if questioned. But better to check with attorney, my attorney asked me to get stamped and come back
3. For me to travel back with company A visa , do I need to make sure company A has not informed USCICS to cancel H1b visa.
I think yes. I would suggest to have a premium h1 transfer so that you have new papers in 15 days and you don't depend on your old company's visa

For your information, most employment in the United States is "at will", which boils down to, the employer can dismiss you at any time for any, or no, reason whatsoever.
The fact that it's "retaliation" is not likely relevant.
They owe you notice of termination, or pay in lieu of notice, so a couple of weeks.

I am sorry to hear about your mother's situation but there is no dependent visa for parents. You can probably extend her stay for another 6 months, but eventually there will be a time when by law she would have to leave. I also never recommend that one extends their visitor visa, unless ofcourse there is really an emergency situation. I say this because there is likely more chances for your mother to get a denial, and then she would end up loosing her existing multiple entry visa as well. So, dont take that chance.
Also, in her current situation, how are you ever going to manage medical bills? There is no insurance in this planet that will cover any pre-existing conditions. So, my friend believe me when i tell you this that it is better for your mother to live in india than in this country. I can understand that you are a dedicated son, everyone should be. Your $$$ go a long way in india and you can get the best care for her for the money.
