06/15/2007: July EB-2 and EB-3 Visa Numbers Open and Consular Processing
The State Department states that they allocated a large number of EB-2 and EB-3 visas because of the USCIS I-140 and I-485 backlogs and because if the visa numbers are not used before the end of the fiscal years, some of them can be wasted. Assuming that the USCIS may continue their current processing times and backlogs in I-140 and I-485, the EB-2 and EB-3 may continue to remain current. However, it is just a speculation and risky to rely on such speculation when one handles his/her immigrant status.
In time like this, the consular immigrant visa application is very risky for the two reasons. For instance, if the EB-2 or EB-3 numbers face a cut-off date again in August or September, unless their immigrant visa is "actually" issued and they enter the U.S. before the retrogression, they will be stuck abroad. For those who are currently residing in the U.S. and intend to apply for the immigrant visa through the consulates rather than adjustment of status through the USCIS, a similar risk will prevail, but unlike the those who are residing abroad, they will be able to extend the H-1B extension under AC 21 Act pending the visa number availability. In this regard, their risk is less but still high in that since they did not submit I-485, they will not be able to take advantage of obtaining EAD and Advancer Parole, not to mention AC 21 portability of the approved I-140 petition for change of employment. All in all, the consular immigrant visa application is not recommended when the future of the visa numbers remins unpredictable.

I have a valid H1-B visa till November 2011from Company A. I joined Company B in July 2009. I have got my Company B approval notice I-797 from USICS.
Due to my fathers health I'm travelling to Pakistan in October for a one week vacation. I have my approval notice from Company B and the visa transfer is done. My new approval notice is till June 2012.
My question is do I have to go for stamping when I go to Pakistan because I changed companies even though I have a valid visa from my previous company and an approval notice from my current company?
I will highly appreciate your Quick help in this regards.
Thank you very much.

total time in labor with news paper advt and all buffer is 6-8 months. I140 take another 2 weeks in premium processing. so in all 9months approx. that should give further extension on H1b.
Also even if previous I140 is revoked, you can have your PD attached to this new labor during I140 application.
good luck.

It is called interfiling. You can use a new 140 (approved or pending) to replace the existing 140 (approved or pending) for an I-485. Even though the common perception is that the PD must be current, it is not true (per Murthy).
I'm not a legal person, please verify from an attorney
Where did you find this on Murthy. I ask this because I have a similar but slightly different situation where I have an EB-1 140 pending and I concurrently filed an EB-2 NIW. If the EB-1 140 comes through by chance I would like the already filed I-485 to be attached to the EB-1 at that point.
I have been looking for an answer to this question but haven't found a satisfactory answer anywhere.

Friends,
There used to be a number of threads created / discussed every day on IV... those good ol' days... a lot of good discussions on a variety of topics, including immigration:D
But of late I am seeing fewer threads on IV and wondering what could be the reason.
1. Either a lot of folks got greened and stopped visiting IV
2. or a lot of folks lost jobs & abandoned their GC process
3. or a lot of folks got frustrated and left for their home countries
Is this just me feeling this way or...?

Go for the long term assignment on L1. Apply for GC in america and live happily. They will or cannot stop your wife to apply for your GC if you are on L1.
You will also have US experience which will help you a lot later.
Untill and Unless you have something else in your mind that you have not mentioned here
I would think you should take up L1.
GC bhi milegal.

Hello,
I am an Indian living and working in Gurgaon, India, and my wife is an American citizen. We're planning to apply for my GC and move to the US sometime next year but an opportunity has come up in my organization allowing me to take up a long-term assignment (on an L1 visa) in the US within the next 3-4 months.
I'm not sure whether it would be better for me to just take a GC right now (in which case, would my organization even have the option to apply for an L1 for me?) or should I take an L1 and go to the US whenever the opportunity materializes and then apply for my GC there?
I'm not sure about the pros and cons of both options and would really appreciate some advice although I shall be thinking about it some more on my own as well.
Thank you.

You want to bring him and file I130 ?
If he marry a US citizen, she can file his I-130 eventhough he is out of status.
(If the entry into USA is legal and out of status later, can adjust, if filed by spouse)
For parent , brother/sister filing, I don't know and I don't think it is possible.
Hi
My brother got a B1/B2 multi-entry visa for 2 years. My mother is a green card holder and my brother didn't want her to submit an I-130 on his behalf since she became a US resident. The reason was because one of the questions that the embassy asks when you apply to get a visa to enter the US is weather a relative submitted an I-130 on your behalf or not. If yes then the embassy thinks of you as you want to enter the US and remain there until ur I-130 is approved and a visa number is available.. my question is since my borther got his visa, will it be ok for my mother to submit an I-130 on his behalf now without having the embassy rejecting him B1/B2 visa in the future(that is after his current B1/B2 visa expire in 2 years ????
Another question if a person is in the US and out of status, can a relative submit an I-130 on his behalf and if yes how good is his chance to adjust his status when the I-130 is approved in the future??
Thank you very much

My OPT started on July 12th, 2006 and I did not apply for my H1-B last year because the advanced degree cap quota was reached even before I got my job. Now, my OPT expired on July11th, 2007. My attorney suggested me to use the 60 days grace period to stay in U.S and get my H1-B Visa stamped in Chennai, India (Because, the 60 days grace period will get over by September 11th, 2007 and there is 19 days gap before my H1-B starts). In the H1-B approval notice it is clearly mentioned that I would attend the Chennai consulate for my stamping. The problem is that, I am not able to find available dates in Chennai consulate for H1-B stamping. Can I attend Delhi or Mumbai consulates? Please suggest me a way to come out of this situation.

I am planning on getting my H1 done for this year... i have talked to a couple of people about the same and someone said thai i might have Pay to get my H1 Processed and get the job.... is it a right choice to make....
most of the H1's consultant i have come across does only ITsector
is there anyone who can suggest how to get the H1 for other field like Pharmacy, Microbiology.....etc....
Most of the consultants ask you to pay for the H1's these days for security. Some will re-imburse your money after a period.
But according to the law, employers are supposed to pay for H1 and travelling expenses if you are in your home country.

I have recently renewed my passport in Washington, DC. As I stay far away from DC, I get it renewed by post. It took exactly 40 working days to get the new passport. I remember, you have to select a date while filing the application form. So, dont wait... apply asap.
Hi all, My passport is going to expire next month (November 28th). I can drive easily upto DC consulate .. wanted to know if there is anything specific I need to do. The website (Embassy of India - Washington DC (official website) United States of America - Application for a New Passport or Reissue of Passport (10) years (http://www.indianembassy.org/index.php?option=com_content&id=167)) does not mention anything about "walk in to consulate" information.
Specifically,
1. Do I need to call and book appointment ? If yes, is there a minimum waiting time to get an appointment, like how many days before ...
2. Will I get the renewed passport the same day ?
Any other points/instructions that you think are important please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help. :)

Health insurance is a daunting concern, esp. in times like this. One suggestion is to think about High deductible HSA plan. This plan will work best for People who are healthy and have no health issues, but want to cover for the unexpected emergencies.
For example, I opted for 0/1500 plan through Kaiser Permenante. This plan will allow you to roll over the extra $s into next year and from next year to the next, etc. You will build an account (and I think can invest the money to grow it further). You can use the funds from the account that you built over the years to pay for future expenses. But the catch is, they will pay for your claims only after you spend the first 1500/Yr. Basically, this is an option to control how you want to spend for your medical expense.
Like I said its good for healthy adults. For children this may not work, because they might need more medical care than healthy adults.
Cheers!
