Can someone suggest how I can go about getting some clarification from USCIS regarding the usage of H1 post AP (i.e. in Parolee status, can a person use H1 797 approval to work)
Yes, there's the May 2000 interim memo (which is unfortunately not available from the USCIS website though) and even the memo is not very clear on the subject.
I was thinking of writing to the Ombudsman and having them get this clarified. We get different opinions from different lawyers. I'd like one straight answer from the authority who's "interpretation" matters : USCIS.
So, can IV take this forward with the Ombudsman or should I file a 7001 or something with them?
Thanks,

hi,
I am a little confused on my case. This is how it is:
I recently got married and am back in the US. My wife is employed in India and shall be filing for her H1 this year(Apr08).
At the same time,given the unsurity of H1,we shall also be going for her H4 Visas in Mar-Apr so that she can be here in the US,ASAP.
I have a few doubts/questions:
1) Since her H1 would be filed on April 1st,do I need to wait till April 1st before going for her H4 so that her application stands clean ?
and
If I go for her H4 before April 1st(say March 29th),does her H1 filing need the H4 details ?
Also,assuming during her H1 filing she didnt have H4 and then gets her H4(say on Apr 2nd) and comes to the US. Assuming her H1 gets approved,does she have to leave the country and get her H1 stamped for change of Visa from H4 to H1(note at the time of H1 application she didnt have her H4 Visas) ?
I hope I am able to explain my confusion well. Any help on this is appreciated.
Thanks !!

Hi
My I140 has been denied 2 times. 1st time was in EB3 Professional and 2nd was in EB3 Skilled worker category. I am not sure the reason for the 2nd denial since I am waiting for the notice letter.
I urgently need an attorney who has recently cleared a few cases with 3 year degree (only 3 year degree not combination with Masters / Diploma etc)
If you are someone who has 3 year degree and recently got approval, please IM me your attorney's details.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a H1B from my previous employer and my H1B Visa (not I-94) is valid untill 6th September 2011,However I moved on to a different employer in August 2010 and through them i filed a H1B Transfer and Extension (application was approved in January 2011).
However i have to make a emergency visit to India (New Delhi) this month, so do i need to re-stamp my visa again for the new employer or can i re-enter US based on my old h1 visa and at the Port of Entry show my new H1 docs.
Is that a valid thing to do or do i need to re-stamp my visa.
fyi.. my H1 was extended by 3 more years because of pending I-485 Application
Few More Details to Add Here -
I will be travelling to India on 15th February and Returning Back to USA on 20th March 2011 and my Old H1 Visa Stamp is Valid untill 6th September 2011.

Generally attorneys charge a retainer fee. What that means is they are willing to represent you regarding any issues with a case. Some services are covered with retainer fee and they may charge additional fee based on any extra work. For Example AC21 Retainer fee is around 750/- where they submit a G28. Then for any RFE they generally charge in the range of 250$.
Thanks for the reply. I understand the retainer fee but I guess what bothers me is why the attorney wasn't up front about the situation or simply charge for a consult then going ahead with a retainer when we simply thought there was something more involve to do with my case at the time.
Its the way that the situation was manipulated to get us to retain this attorney for further use when at the time it wasn't needed that feels fraudulent.
Thanks again!

There is no special provisions for people living in Haiti to get a visa to come here sooner. You will need to file the regular route. What is your immigration status? You can sponsor your mother only if you are US citizen.

Now because all embassies and consulates required to use PIMS to verify your H1B status... sometimes takes several weeks to get the passport stamped. In my case takes 3 weeks after interview to get my passport back (embassy at Lima, Peru).
So beware of the timing
I just bring a copy of my wife H1B approval and copy of lasts taxes ... just in case

The past few days has witessed a lot of interest from Michigan residents in joining our chapter.However we could approve only a few heads because of the fact that some were inaccesible over phone.
We would also like to remind all members who are willing to join MI chapter to send in their phone number,IV id and your location.This would help us reach you quickly.

In the last days, I have realized that we have something in common with the first Pilgrims that came to America, we also have a lot in common with all the immigrants that arrived last century to the Ellis Island, and that is the same COURAGE and values to go after our dreams giving the best of ourselves for this country and for our families.
Based on what we did this last month dont you think that we need to take action to do something to make possible an increase on the GCs quota?.
I'd like to use this forum to generate all together as a team great Ideas to show that we are a positive agent of succes for America. The idea of the flowers was marvelous but I think is time to move forward, some new ideas could be:
- Pay a TV commercial showing that we (America) need diversity, need talented Immmigrants to maintain their leadership in the world.
- Post ads in the news papers (WSJ, NY times, Washington Post etc) with the same message.
- I read the blog of Greg Siskind he is doing something great mentioning oustanding immigrants on daily basis, why dont we do the same?
- Attend all senator meetings and speech and have smart and pacific members of IV in all of them showing the message?
I THINK WE CAN DO IT, we are the owners of our future, we are the only really interested in have our GCs, I dont see the USCIS, Lou Dobbs, or USANET interested in see something positive about us.
Please lest post our ideas, and together as a team as the new America immigrants lets look for our future. America is the land where everything is possible I DO BELIEVE IN AMERICA SAME AS THE PILGRIMS AND I THINK YOU ALL BELIEVE THE SAME THATS WHY WE ARE HERE AND why WE READ THIS FORUM...
Please we need ideas.... LETS MOVE FORWARD WE CAN DO IT........

I am in the same boat. My wife 485 just got filed with me as dependent so I am holding off on sending mine in. I read that this is a very gray area, and at least fragomen claims that they have had cases in which both 485 applications were rejected because of this dual filing.
Check with a lawyer before you do anything.
