Hi folks, i am in urgent situation and need your advice.
My 6-year H1B expires by end of April 2011 and I am quitting my job by the end of March and changing my status to H4. My I-140 has been approved, I-485 not submitted. Now I only have 1 month left in the 6-year H1B period and am in H4 after March, can I find a new employer to apply for H1B for me, using the 1 month? If yes, can the new employer apply for a 3-year H1B visa?
any comments/advices would be appreciated.
I guess your H4 is not approved yet and continuing your employment on H1B. Your best course of action would be to have your employer file an extension (beyond 6 years) for H1B and get a 3-year approval (with approved I-140). You can change jobs after this but if you don't want to take this path you can still find a new employer before end of march and apply for H1B to get a 3-Year H1B. You will need to restart your PERM and go through the whole process with your new employer ASAP.

She can file her own extension using form I-539. You can use your receipt number in her application. I am planning to do the same. It doesnt make sense to pay the lawyer a grand for that. If your H1 is approved, her H4 will be approved. There is no way I can think of having your H1 approved and her H4 being denied unless she has any violations or out of status etc.

Hi,
I am looking to switch employers. Although the job descriptions are pretty similar ( C coding, design, protocols etc.), my PERM was filed for Computer Software Engineer-Applications whereas the new one falls under Computer Software Engineer, Systems Software. Is this a risk during I-485 adjudication. Also my new salary is 50% higher than my original PERM salary (It has been almost 4 years since my original PERM).
Thanks.

My current reporting structure with my employer is:
Client -> Prime Vendor -> Consultant X -> My employer
Another consultant is ready to transfer my visa and the reporting structure there is
Client -> Prime Vendor -> My employer
A prime vendor (not the same client) is also ready to transfer my visa
Client -> My employer
I am planning to transfer it to either (or both) of the above two companies. Will there be a problem in those two companies filing for a tranfer at (approx) the same time?
Is there a way I can ask an attorney directly (I am willing to pay for that service)

Can anyone please reply.
Your wife can apply for SSN and can work on using EAD. This will not affect your status. You can still work on H1.

Hi!
My H1B was filed on April 1st 2007 at Vermont Service Center while i was in India and got selected in the lottery. I came to US on May 13th on H4 visa (I 94 valid till July 18, 2008) and still my papers were under process.
On June 1st, 2007 the approval notice was sent to my employer.
Oct 1st, 2007 they applied for my change of status and on 19th it was returned back as a check for 500$ was not included.
Kindly let me know if we could go for a H1B Transfer and change of status simultaneously with a new employer.
Within what time line i need to apply for the same.
Thanks,
SV
If you need to switch employer you should be on valid H1 status with SSN and have paystubs from current employer for safe side.
Pl consult good immi lawyer for best advice/lawyer of new employer.

I dont know - but call uscis and ask - also you may take an infopass appointment and find out what to do in such cases
If they say surely it'll be rejected/ returned - just do another application (so that you can make max use of 120 days)

It's news to me. Injection molded connectors are easy to produce while maintaining tight tolerances, so I'm skeptical of that warning.
Many people have had pictures lost even with "good" cards, so that claim sounds more like a scare tactic.
Personally, I think I'll continue to go with SanDisk Extreme, as they have really good warranty (lifetime guarantee). I'm also concerned with knowing I have honest specs so I"m getting the data rates claimed for the product.

http://itavisen.no/art/1304403.html?PHPSESSID=6f659d505057356c057c50b88ed ea679 reports that the Norwegian Nikon distributor Interfoto held a press conference today warning people against using "cheap" memory cards from vendors not on Nikon's approved list.
According to Interfoto the cheap memory cards doesn't fit too well physically and can damage the camera. Their service department report pins that are either broken or even forced into the camera itself.
In addition there has been problems with pictures disappearing when "the card crash".
Interfoto recommends Sandisk and Lexar, as well as Microdrives from IBM/Hitachi. (Interfoto is the Norwegian Lexar distributor btw)
Has anyone else heard something similar?
