Another option here -
I was on H1B for about 4 years and after that on L1A via a COS for the last 1 year. (total 5 years). Currently I am on L1A with company A.
If my future employer B files for my H1B I don't have to go thru the cap/quota since I already was on an H1. I assume this is correct.
- So till the time my H1B is approved can I still be with employer A on L1A visa?
- Will moving to H1B with company B be my choice (of when I want to resign from company A and move to B) or will I be forced to join company B as soon as my H1B is approved?
- Parallel to the above company B files my GC.
Can this be done?
Thanks for all the help.

Obviously this bill will definitely help the EB back log -- this bill should be supported whole-heartedly.
While we wait for a more comprehensive bill with visa re-capture, eliminating per country quotas etc etc, this bill will definitely help to reduce the EB back log. I wonder whether IV is raising funds to lobby for this bill or what is IV's position on this bill?

We had the same situation and ones got rejected.
By some reason, the software carried my last year's AGI into my wife's last year AGI box. I corrected it and got accepted on second time efile. I used turbo tax software.
Hope this helps out.

1. How can he use the PIO card to enter and exit India?
I got PIO Cards recently, but not entered India yet. So far I used only visas.
a. Does he simply show the PIO card, US passport to enter and exit India?
I assumed the same. It is just like a "Visa", but not on the passport but as a separate booklet.
2. Incase if the PIO card processing takes a lot of time I know that he can apply for visa. I was wondering anyone has experience on how visa could be applied if PIO processing takes a long time at the SFO consulate.
It is efficient and less expensive on money and time if you decide before you apply. If you have couple of months time before travel, apply PIO or you have only couple of weeks appy for Visa.
a. Do they return the PIO application and its supporting documents before visa could be applied?
You are probably submiting copies of documents except the passports +/- birth certificate. Be prepared if you just receive passports only.
b. Should a new visa application+visa supporting documents need to be resent for getting a Indian visa? I guess so, as the process is completely different.
------------------------------------
There are no guidelines on web sites for the option you are asking for. So the answers are only "what you can expect".
If you are close to SF, worth stopping by the consulate.

Dear Friends, my 140 just got approved at TSC (EB3-India, PD Feb 03, 140/485 filed in July 07). Given the current economic turmoil, my company may lay off people. I have a valid EAD till Oct 09. God forbid, if I can't find another job here after my layoff, is it legal to go to my home country (i.e., India) for a few months and then come back before Oct 09 to renew my EAD? Assuming the USCIS doesn't adjudicate my 485 while I'm away, could I have any problems at the port of entry (since I would be using Advance Parole but wouldn't have a job)?
Thanks.

if you go back to your home country without a job, and you get an RFE for an employment verification letter, how are you going to respond to that?
Also note that earlier most RFEs had a response time of 12 weeks, starting from a few months ago the IO has the discretion to choose the response time. So for something like an EVL (which he would assume you can provide within a few days) you might only have a response time of 4 weeks... Also, its not necesasry that you get the RFE only when your PD is current, USCIS is continuing to process cases, and you can get an RFE even if your date is not current...
As some posters have mentioned, travel on AP has also troublesome for some people. No one that I know of has been denied entry, but IOs at some port-of-entries have insisted that travel on AP should be only for emergencies. Again, its just harassment due to unclear policies, no one that I know of has been denied entry.
Thanks.

It was an audited PERM?
I looked at your signature timeline and it says "LC denied due to date missing on ad portion." Could you please clarify what happened? My job ads are running right now for PERM LC and not sure what I need to keep from the newspaper ad.
I have taken screenshots of Job Order, Yahoo HotJobs, Professional Organization, University Placement etc. I hope the screenshots showing the ad and all the dates would be good enough.
Did they send you RFE for all the job ads and is that how they found out the date missing? I did not know people get RFE for job ads. Thanks.

I and my husband both of us lost our passports too. We got it stamped again when we went to India. In between I transferred my h1s also with the copy of lost passport and duplicate passport issued by indian embassy ny office. It wasn't too difficult to get it stamped again from mumbai consulate india.
You might get it stamped from Canada or Mexico. We just didn't want to take risk because we had copy of lost and inside usa we could do all our work(including transferring h1s) with the copy.
Don't worry. It is not that big as it looks. Though indian embassy took 12 months to issue duplicate passport

I'm not sure what made you decide for CP. There maybe valid reasons or you maybe misguided.
I have heard some people use the CP route thinking that once the dates get current, they will get Green Card faster than AOS route. Some people use it as a back-up. But I am not sure what made you opt for this if you knew you will deny yourself EAD and AP benefits.
I was misguided.
But what about people with PD as early as 2002/2003? Or do we not have anyone with PD 2002/2003 who are pursuing CP?
I assume there could be 10 to 15% CP filers out of total, say, 400K pending 485 cases. So, between 40 to 50k CP filers. Not sure how many out of this would be India/China. Is this number not big enough for asking for some admin fix?
I know EAD is not for CP filers today. I also believe EAD is one of the things that USCIS can issue with an admin fix.
If DOS/USCIS know very well that this retrogression is gonna be there for the next 5-10 years and EB3 I have to wait for 10-15 years, does it not make sense to ask for a relief like EAD for CP filers?

Your wife may be able to get a transportation letter/returning resident visa from her US consulate. These are usually given to people who have lost their green cards while overseas, but I have heard of consulates giving them to people with lost APs. It's worth asking. Good luck.
Hi above is an update from this end. I do have one more question though. My wife was not given an I-94 when she entered using TL instead her passport was stamped with the arrival date and initials "LPr". I am getting ready to apply for a new AP for us what should I write as her "Class of Admission"? Also do you foresee any issues with the AP renewal since I cannot send them a copy of an I-94?

Friends,
I'm in a position where I have to file for I-140 again. In short, my company was purchased and I had to refile I-140 under the new company's name. Since the new company does not pay for Premium processing, I'll have to shell out the Premium processing fee from my pocket.
I need your honest opinion as to whether I must file with premium or regular? My PD: is June 2007.
I appreciate all your comments!
Go for regular, the current processing time for I140 TSC is 4 months, you should be able to get approved before the next spillover season which is Jul - Sep 2011 (This is still a long shot for us :))

How can we reach the rest of ~496,000 skilled immigrants who are waiting for their green cards? where are they??
I am not an active IV member but not inactive as well. I called all my retrogressed H1B DESHI friends, talked to my colleagues and reached almost everyone that I known.
Some of them don’t even know what is visa number, when you can apply 485 etc basic things, unbelievable. They are here 3/4/5 years and already applied for LC. (MESSAGE EDITED) It is very difficult to reach them let alone request for donation.

Vikki76,
Don't jeoperdize once status by sharing false info. If you are not sure , let the other person about it.
Ganesh_Sholapur:
Here comes my responses for your query. I am 100% sure, but make sure you get a second opinion from any attorney.
1. Do i need to go for stamping in Canada or Mexico
YES...!!!! You have to leave this country on/before your L1 expires. Since your H1b was filed from out side US, it din't come with an I-94.
So go back to india by taking an apointment for visa and re-enter with new H1b approval along with new i-94.
2. Can i work for company B with my H1B approval.??
No you cannot.
3. To start my new job, do my employer should change my status
Once you return back from india, your status automaticaly changes to H1b.
4. If going for stamping do my dependents also should join me.
yes, all should leave the country before u r L1 expires.
Hope my responses helped you...
My quires are.
1. Do i need to go for stamping in Canada or Mexico
Answer: No, you don't need to get your visa stamped unless you are traveling internationally and need to re-enter US
2. Can i work for company B with my H1B approval
Answer: It is perfectly legal to start working with H1-B approval even though your passport has L1 visa stamped
3. To start my new job, do my employer should change my status
Answer: Definitely-YES. I-9 form from employer should reflect this
4. If going for stamping do my dependents also should join me
Answer: You do not need to go for stamping just to begin your employment. And regardless of visa stamping decision- it is not mandatory that you and your dependents should get go for visa stamping together

I don't agree with what mbawa2574 has to say,but I certainly disagree banning mbawa for expressing views. I think, mbawa2574 is well within limits of posting anything that could hurt IV image/goals. ( On this thread, I mean).
What's the damage caused to your effort?( apart from deleting threads )
I'd rather help channel his thoughts and energies in a direction that helps IV than ban him.
mbawa2574, can you get in touch with some one in IV Core and put your thoughts on paper?
I'm sure you understand by now that IV is made of just you, me and bunch of other anonymous keyboard monkeys.
Cheers!
Thanks for your thoughts. We respectfully disagree. There was time for this discussion. Its easy for someone to post anything on the forum, unmindful of the time & effort put in by others. I think we reserve the right to make sure what appears on the home page of the website. Is there anything wrong with that?
Have you tried asking Numbersusa, Programmers Guild and your employer about changing leadership? What makes this organization any different? Just because anyone can post anything on IV website to get visibility on the homepage, its not ok to abuse the resources of the organization. We did not create IV to promote democracy or freedom of expression, there are ample of other sites to promote democracy and freedom of expression, you are free to use those resource at your liking. IV website is for a single purpose of achieving the goals we have set for the organization. You can find our goals on the website. And anything that conflicts with our goal will be removed. Its easy to use terms like democracy, freedom of expression etc to defend actions that malign the good effort put in by others. To make things clear, IV's objective is not to promote or preserve democracy/freedom of expression. We have a goal to achieve and we will not deter from our goal, whatever it takes.
