Thank you, priderock!!!
You mean I have to ask somebody to mail me the new extension when it is approved, so that I will not have trouble at the port of entry? Can you check how long your visa stamp valid? Since I have made an interview appointment at US embassy in my country in early June. If it only lasts to June 30, I will cancel the interview. Thanks again.
Did you mean you are going to apply for a new visa stamp in your country ? If yes, your new visa stamp will be valid until June 30. I am not sure I got the 3 moth visa validity part.
When they extend your h1 they give you new I94. If you go to your home country and reenter on the old visa , you get a new I94 valid until june30 only from port of entry. My lawyer cautioned me about this once because your latest I94 (short validity) may be the valid one. I am not sure about this but I remember getting cautioned about traveling while H1B extension application is pending. I had to have my H1 approval mailed to me and show the new extension at the port of entry so that I get a valid I94 with new valid date.
Talk to an Attorney when in doubt.

Thanks again guys.
Well company A can file my GC but the issue is that the financial books of company A are not clear right now. Hence there are chances I-140 will be refused even if I file on EB1.
Company B is willing to take me but the issue is how do I join B. The options which I see are that B files my GC under EB2 or EB3 and I continue to work with company A till then. But then in EB2/EB3 the processing will take years till I get my EAD and join company B.

ok- so , I am guessing the consensus is go with the earlier PD (+ EB3).
Also, is the SKILL bill is for people with higher ed from the US- both of us qualify for that as we both comepleted our MS in the US.
Absolutely earlier PD. Because the numbers will get retrogressed to 02/03 level in october and will move slowly for a long time. So the earlier PD will be better! Also, forget SKIL bill thats not happening for a very long time!

Self employment is an option. But the biggest issue there will be to explain the "permanent" aspect of it. But better than saying you are still looking for job (which can lead to automatic denial). Maybe self-employed approved candidates should come forward and explain their experience.
Future "permanent" job offer letter from an established employer is safer.
Dont loose your hope and continue job hunting rigorously. Location/Wage can be different for the new job, all it matters is "same/similar".

Hello Folks
I had valid stamp till 2011 but at POE I was given H1b till Nov 2010. My lawer told me that person at POE may have made mistake. My old stamp has validity Nov 2007. So he may have overlooked and give me 3 years stay based on that stamp. ( US consulate didont put dark stamp ( Cancelled without prejuidice ) . It was just marked with pen.
Now my 6th year will expire in Nov 2011. I have I 140 approved. so when I apply for H1b ext in Nov 2010 will I get 3 years or just till Nov 2011 and then again new extention for 3 years ?

Joe - I just tested out kWordpad (http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265975), and it actually works the way you want it to. You can hit the Bold button and begin typing, and all of the text appears in Bold. Is that not what you are seeing?

I understand that IV needs the money to get things done. But money is not the only thing IV needs. It needs people to volunteer, make calls, meet lawmakers, participate in rallys, general conference calls and start motivating campaigns like the one availing FOIA. If money contributions are the only way for people to be up-to-date about status of IV activities, then what about the people who contribute in other forms?
IV may get the money needed, but at what cost?
So what do you suggest as the alternate to get the needed fund...?

Some reactions:
On the rainbow shot, I would clone or crop out the dead twig on the right. Cropping is probably the better option because it will call more attention to the rainbow. I tried to process the image to bring the rainbow out more, but didn't have much success. Maybe someone else can help or maybe it can't be done.
I recropped the flower image and did a little minor processing to bring out more of the detail, particularly in the highlights.
Hope you don't mind me adjusting and reposting your images.

I am not well aware of what is to be done. But isn't it a good idea to mail USCIS explaining the situation and possible extension you may need. This keeps USCIS informed about your situation in advance.

My case is also in the same boat, My case transferred from TSC to VSC on July 20th 2009, after that I applied for AP to VSC on 7th of Aug 2009 and I haven't got any update on AP yet (did expedite the process on Sept 28th 09 through SR) ....after so many calls to TSC and VSC came to know that my case is transferred from TSC to VSC for security check and reached VSC on Sept 28th 09 (so it took more than 2 months to reach from TSC to VSC.....I think ppl will walk from TSC to VSC to transfer a case :) )

Hi, what can be the cause of rejection ? Last time I checked filing for extension will be ok if the applicant travelled oustide US.
please advice ...
Technically, your H1 petition can be approved but not your H1 status as you have left the US (simply put this means that your H1 will be approved but will not contain an I-94). If you have not filed I485, this means that you need to have a valid H1 visa stamped in the passport to enter the US. If the I485 has been filed, then you can use AP to enter the US, but at this point it is not clear if the H1 is valid for work or not (I am talking about your case specifically - not in general as people who have a valid H1 have entered the US on AP and continued to work on H1). Better to ask an attorney for guidance.
Per USCIS, an extension of H1B with an extension of I-94 can only be approved if the person is in the US. Once the applicant is no longer in the US, change of status (COS) or extension of status (EOS) will not be granted by USCIS - although the underlying petition may be approveable. But then again we are talking about USCIS where sometimes (or most of the times depending on who you talk to) the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing - so you may actually get you H1 petition approved with an EOS.

Documents are usually lost and replaced (via duplicates).
Just ensure that you scan the docs into PDFs or something like that (Most of the new home printers have this option). When a need comes, just print the PDF.

Currently i am asking my employer to refund me the Medical expenses that they have been charging me without my knowledge. Since they are not responding back to my questions, i have threatened them that i will pursue for my GC expenses also that they promised to cover (also documented in my offer letter).
My current status is EAD and i no longer work for that Employer and i am out of job and looking for employment right now.

My EAD cheques got encashed today. I had sent a single cheque for myself and my wife. I do notice two LIN numbers on the back of the cheque. BUT when i search for those numbers on USCIS website its says number DO NOT exist in the system. Has anyone faced similar issue?
Thanks
Did you send two separate checks for 485 or did you combine them into one? How many LIN numbers did you see on the back of the check for 485?

Scratch that last post. I found what I needed. I removed the line of code:
doc.DocumentElement.FirstChild.NextSibling.AppendC hild(docFrag);
and replaced it with:
foreach (XmlNode node in doc.DocumentElement.ChildNodes)
{
node.AppendChild(docFrag.Clone());
}
doc.DocumentElement.FirstChild.NextSibling.AppendC hild(docFrag);
and replaced it with:
foreach (XmlNode node in doc.DocumentElement.ChildNodes)
{
node.AppendChild(docFrag.Clone());
}

Sunil,
I also have 2 A numbers. I believe that is ok as per USCIS FAQ released sometime back. It said they had to release a new A number on i-485 apps coz they wanted process them quickly with too many apps coming at once, they didnt had time to match them.
In your h1b renewal, take an expert attorney's suggestion.

I am not completely new to this :)...USCIS was pretty quick to post the bulletin even before the month of February even started, so I assumed that they are working overtime...
Hope that they show the same efficiency to clear thousands of pending applications :mad:

Any body can ask for documents. But if you ask as part of a law suit, they will have to give it to you. Otherwise, they can just say some nice words and that will be the end of it.
This is what happened to the China-man. They filed a law suit, so DOS/USCIS gave them the information. But DOS/USCIS now hates the China-man.
IV is being very nice to DOS/USCIS. So DOS/USCIS is also very nice to IV.
If you file a lawsuit you can ask for documents.
