Friends,
I am currently working at a systems company based on my EAD (H1 has expired). PD is Jun 2006.
I intend to marry a woman who is currently on F1 visa. I would like to know if there are any pitfalls from immigration point of view.
Renewing her F-1 visa stamp could be an issue as F-1 requires non-immigration intent (it is very difficult to make a case that she does not want to immigrate to US when her husband is in US on the green card route).
I understand that she can get an EAD only when my PD becomes current.
Can she file her I-485 petition based on my approved I-140?
Yes, that's how a spouse would submit I-485 petition.
If yes, would she continue in F1 status (or what will her status be?).
Her F-1 status will no longer be valid; she will be in the so-called "AOS".
Any other potential pitfalls in this particular scenario?
Any pointers would be useful.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Immi Gurus,
My wife's Advance Parole is approved and we moved to the new address on the same day they mailed the document, I have updated the Address with USCIS online after couple of days. Its been 10 days and I still didn't get Advance Parole to my old Address, been checking with the present owners about the mail. They have removed our name from the slip which is inside the mail box. I am not sure whether post office returned it or still didn't get the document.
Please advice whats the next step, Should I wait for couple of more days and then call the USCIS? In case, if the document is returned to USCIS, how difficult is to get the document again to the new Address, we are planning to go to India soon.
I would really appciate if someone could update me on this. Thanks so much ....

Q : Will this affect my ability to travel?
Possibly, if you leave the country prior to the completion of the receipting process and do not have the appropriate travel documents, you may have difficulty returning to the United States.
Ok so no travel unless you have AP...right?

I want to do H1 transfer . But I do not have pay stub of Jan and Feb 2009 . Right now I got a project which will be starting from March 1 to 31 March . But before that I want To Transfer my H1 . Doses H1 Transfer need recent Pay Stubs ?
Doesnt matter how many threads you create to ask the same question, but I am afraid the response you will get will ramain the same. "You do need pay stubs". Hope this helps.

Hello,
My spouse will be in India next week and would be going for her H1B stamping at the Mumbai consulate. She came here on H4 and we applied for her H1B, effective 10/2007, and she has been working since Jan08 and have all her paystubs from that date. Can you share your experience in terms of questions they ask and supporting documents they request in addition to the documents that we are required to carry.
Your reply would be appreciated
Mainly they ask for W2 , tax returns for all years, she was on h1. And you can also send your tax returns for all the other years she was on h4.

Would going to Canada and re-entering without going for visa stamping count as lawful entry??
Or one has to go and get the visa stamped to qualify as lawful entry??
Also when you go to Canada and come back Without VISA stamping, he gets the same I-94 or different I-94??
Thanks.

Hi
I have one question , I am in my 6th year of H1 (Compeleting on Nov end). The renewal has been submitted by my employer yesterday for 7th,8th,9th year based on the approved I-140.
My wife had to travel yesterday for a family reason and she is scheduled to come back on Oct 1st. In General would there be any issue at port of entry when she comes back, as she would have only 2 months valid visa in her passport at that time.
Thanks

Hi there,
I got my FP done yesterday in Newark,NJ ASC. But online status only shows LUD on I-485 case.. I've applied EAD and AP too, but don't see LUD on them.
Also, in ASC they give you form to fillout, I only put my I-485 receipt number on it, should I have put all three receipt numbers?.
Any thoughts,
Thanks,

Sorry folks, the question may have been asked before.
Does I-140 have to be approved before using AC21? In my case, I140 has been pending for 1 year now, but got EAD recently.
If I use AC21 to move to a new job in 6 months, can employer pull out the I-140 ?
Any workarounds?

Hi All,
Please help me on this. Here is the situation:
1. Company A First time H1B - Oct 1, 2004
2. Company B transfer - Jan 22, 2006
3. My current visa is expiring on Jan 22, 2009, but after Jan 22, 2009, I still have till Oct 1, 2010 to complete my 6 years of H1B.
4. Now, my wife who is on H-4 is currently in India on vacation, since she is not in US, her H-4 extension cannot be filed.
My question is, can I file my H-1 extension and go to India and get both of our visas stamped based on my extension? Or does my wife need to come back on her currently valid visa and file for her own H-4 extension?
Please advise and pardon me for my ignorance on this.
Thanks in advance,
DSP
>> can I file my H-1 extension and go to India and get both of our visas stamped based on my extension?
Yes. She can get H4 visa stamp based on your H1 extension approval notice.

My husband recently changed jobs and has not updated the transfer in his H1 visa yet. I need to travel to India. Can i travel with the existing H4 with his new I-797 and salary stubs? Or do we have to updated the visas before we can travel?
Thanks.
Yes you can travel with latest approval notice and pay stubs although they most likely won't even ask for it. You do not need new visa before travelling back to US.

I played around with this a bit, and found the solution. The problem occurred when I had "Empty Project." I created a new project "Console Application," and then I was able to "load" the Process class/namespace. Can anyone explain to me why this would happen? I did a few searches online, but didn't find much help...
Those who have been using C# for a while, what type of project do you mostly choose that are NOT GUI?

My wife got her F1 stamped in Mexico last week and I just noticed that her old I 94 from the time when she entered in US with her H4 is still in her passport. Is that a problem?? I remember reading some where on the forum that they are supposed to take out I 94 for the departure record...
How do I fix this?
