Currently my wife is on H4
I'm planning to file H1 for my wife (through another employer on April 1st, 2009). Regardless of the situation (H1B Cap lottery process or general process) if my wife's H1B petition is accepted, processed and approved (generally betwen April 15th 2009 and May 31st 2009), she will get work permit (with start date of Oct 1st, 2009) by May or mid June, 2009.
My company is also planning to file for my H1 Extension (along with H4 Extension) in April (cannot be filed it seems due to other cases) So, in this scenario if my H1 extension (along with my wife's H4 extension) is filed after April 1st 2009, then we will have an overlap situation (as USCIS will be receiving two petitions (one for H1 and one for H4) for my wife) in the same timeframe. How will USCIS deal with these scenarios?
As long as her H4 is approved before her H1 (if she gets through lottery and approval process), there won't be a problem (as H1 will be replacing her H4 to my understanding).
But if her H4 is approved after her H1B approval, then there is a risk that her H1B will be cancelled because of H4 approval.
Please let me know solution to this problem. Thanks in Advance

Folks,
I got a RFE asking for a copy of birth certificate and bio info. I had sent my BC and bio info before while applying for 485 last august. I was hurrying up my lawyer to send the response as soon as possible.
My lawyer emailed me that since there is a spelling difference in the way my name is shown in my BC and in all other docs, I will be subject to additional security checks and there is no point in hurrying. Is this true or is my lawyer using this as a delay tactic ?
My name in my BC ends with .......iam and in all other docs ends with .....iyan. Should this cause a problem ?
Please share your thoughts and help me.

I know that there are too many threads open initiating new campaigns, and asking the IV administrators to make the threads sticky. However there is something that we can demand as part of administrative reforms at USCIS, without any need for congressional relief.
When any type of application reaches USCIS, it kinda goes into a black hole. Unless there is a decision on the application, all an applicant do is to cross the figures, and hope that the outcome will be favorable. Worst, sometimes people with later priority date get the approval, and the all a victim with pretty much straight forward case can do is self consolation.
We all know that there is a USCIS case login page, which allows us to create a portfolio and track the case approval. But the information provided by this site is really basic (Informing the applicant that the application was received on such and such date, and its pending for processing at our processing center). Why can't we ask USCIS to improve this portal, so that an applicant can view the details of the case like FP, background check result, priority date, associated 140 status, etc. I am giving this example for a 485 application, but this service can be provided for all other types of cases like H1B, EAD, AP, 140, 485, Labor Certification, etc.
BTW, I saw a note on immigration-law.com, and according to them its a just four (yes only four) member team which is managing their information technology at USCIS. On a lighter note, I feel like creating an Open Source software consortium which will develop the software to add in efficient case processing and better services, where USCIS can download the source code to enable faster deployment of customer services portals.
Anyway, fun apart, I think we should start a campaign to get more meaningful information from customer portal: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp
This way the case processing would be more transparent, an applicant will have more information about the case, the number of phone calls USCIS receive will go down substantially, and people like us will have much more peace of mind. I was wondering if we can come up with a case status detail page, that contains majority of info/updates we applicants want to see. It should not be difficult to compile such information. So meanwhile, when nothing much is expected from Congress on legal immigration relief, at least USCIS can provide this type of service improvement. Any ideas, criticism, pros and cons of such thing?

You can not use interfiling across categories. You can only use interfiling between few EB categories. You are better off moving to family based quota, all you need to prove is she is your sister. Good luck.
People in this forum are struggling to get GC on Employeement category, since you have a family stream possibility and which is current as per you note above, I would advise you to help us by moving you and your husband to family category.......thanks in advance for giving us 2 visa numbers. :D

Its a good consolidated report, It clearly says system is broken and need a fix. Almost all the legislation listed at the end talk about either recapturing lost visas or increase the numerical limit.
Thanks
That is true. However, it is not difficult to figure out that Ruth is a supporter of legalization of the undocumented. That's why the only bills covered at the end of the report are all legalization bills. She seems to have "extensive" analysis on per-country limits on EB &FB, but doesn't have the ink to write 1 line about country limits on the undocumented. The report systematically and intentinally overlooks all other bills that are related to legal immigration only. Most of the time, its not what is written, but who wrote it and how the information is presented which matters.

Government officials as well as immigration lawyers have been implicated in several recent corruption cases. Here are some of the cases that have made news in the last few days: USDOJ announced a ICE official was sentenced in a kickback scheme involving a confidential informant in an alien smuggling investigation. A former official at the US Consulate in Toronto was sentenced to a year in prison for a scheme where visas were expedited in exchange for gifts and trips with exotic dancers. A Utah lawyer stands accused of massive fraud in securing H-2B visas for ineligible workers. A Beverly Hills...

As per the new visa bulletin, my PD (Mar/26/2006) goes current from 1/September.
My husband is the primary applicant on the case with me and son as dependents.
485s submitted in Sep/2007. We received RFE for my son application and replied, we received update from USCIS that it reached them in July/2009.
USCIS web case status shows 'initial review' for me and my husband, 'RFE response review' for my son.
As we filed together, does this mean that all three applications were processed and RFE was required only for my son?
Thanks for all your inputs, being a great help.

I got EAD on February 2008 with my primary GC employer. My PD is just 4 months away and I got a job offer in a big company which I cannot afford to loose.
The the job duties in my new job remain the same but I am worried to change job during this time when PDs are jumping very fast. The max I can delay the joining my new employer cannot be more than a 1 month. Please suggest the best approach...
The best approach is to go ahead and change the job. What are you worried about? File AC 21 via new company's lawyer.

Hi,
I was let go by my company and am still under payroll for another month. I am told that once I am off the payroll, the company has to tell the lawyer to cancel my H1B.
Is there anyway that I could extend my H1B for a smooth H1B transfer to a new company? as I am still looking for a good offer at this stage.
And how long does it take for the government to process the cancellation of the H1B? And during that process if another company comes in and is willing to sponsor, would that be a smooth process?
Thanks!
Abraham

It is not a bad idea to become a donor. I encourage both of you to become donors.
IV should keep the twitter updates restricted to only DONOR accounts and possibly another twitter account for generic updates.
Disclaimer : I dont have DONOR status
me neither though I have donated quite regularly. Well, it is upto Core to decide what to do- I guess. We can keep posting suggestions.

Hi,
I have an H1 extn filed in Sep 2010 and got approved till 2013. This extn was filed from SC and the LCA also has work address pointing to SC address.
For the new project I now moved to FL and I want to go to india and get the visa stamping done on my approved H1. I just came to know from my layer that I have an OLD LCA and in order to get the new LCA I need to apply for fresh H1 application ?
If I travel to india for visa stamping with old LCA I can be put on hold.
Please let me know if filling for new H1 is the only option left for me. I had my air tkts already booked for a family of 4 for this month end.
Waiting to hear back on this ASAP please !!!

Folks,
My wife needs an EAD to apply for medical residency in the US. We have our EAD application pending (receipt date Aug 27th). We know we will get our EAD eventually. But the problem is more complex.
For medical residency, programs call candidates for interviews in Nov/Dec. So they start offering interview slots in Sep/Oct timeframe. If you don't have an EAD card or EAD-approval notice, they will not even consider you. They don't care if you say that EAD will definitely come by Dec (or something like that).
We tried our local congressman, but even he said he couldn't do anything
until the 90-day processing time had passed. We tried the local INFOPASS office and submitted an expedite request, but that got denied.
So we are urgently looking for ways to get my wife's EAD ASAP. If we don't get the EAD in time, my wife will lose an year and in medical residency, every year you sit at home counts (against you).
Does anyone here have any ideas what we can do ! Note: This EAD is needed for *education* purposes and not for *gainful* employment.
Don't worry you'll get it soon.
I'm also in same, we got recently.
