If the I-94 was not given a full year's validity due to passport expiring within a year, Is the I-94 still valid after its expiry?
As far as I-94 goes it will expire but since you are already in AOS status, it really does't matter.

My Case Details:
I currently have an H1 and have applied for 485(in July 2007, EB3 India, priority date April 2004, I-140 Approved, EAD approved). My wife also applied 485 (as beneficiary dependent) along with me and is currently working on EAD. Unfortunately my daughter was not in the country in July 2007 and due to unavoidable reasons she was not able to apply for 485 then. She came to US on H4 dependent visa and is currently studying in public school.
My H1B visa and my daughters H4 visa expires in Sept, 2010. I want to use my EAD incase if my H1B extension is not approved in Sept, 2010 and am trying to find out if there were other legal ways for me to have my daughter documented in US.
One of the option I was considering is try to get a F1 Student visa for her. My Daughter is in 10th grade currently (15 years old).
Please advice:
- What would be the best independent status for my daughter ?
- if My daughter converts to a student visa (F1), and some time later EB3 category becomes current for my priority date, then can 485 be applied for my daughter while she is in F1 status ? IN other words are there any issues of her being in non-immigrant intent F1 visa and me applying for 485 for her as my dependent ?
- Is there any limit on the number of years a person can be on F1 Visa in US ? She is currently in 10th grade and might join 11th Grade in F1 visa.
- Does she need to go out of US to change her status from H4 to F1 ?
- In case if required can I convert my EAD status back to H1B ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks,
Kumar N

Has anyone tried to talk to your banks for refinance under this new rule? I talked to my bank- Wells Fargo..They were very rude and said that they do not know about this at all as they haven't got any notification.When I told them that this news is on CNBC...they did not want to believe it.Asked when I should call again,they said keep calling every week..Was really disappointing...

I entered US with a tourist visa in California. Months later, I got married to a US citizen in Austin,Texas. Me and my husband were apprehensive at first to get an immigration lawyer to process my visa but we realized the process of obtaining a visa was not as straight forward as we thought.
We have since decided to hire a lawyer and have met with two attorneys so far. The process is frustrating because of the requirement to pay a consultation fee; we schedule an appointment, meet, and find out that the cost of hiring the lawyer is far greater than what we can afford.
My question is: does anyone know of a good lawyer who charges a reasonable flat fee? $1000 - $1500?
thank you

Found this while searching the website of the Senate Judiciary committee. Even though it is more than a month old, the references to SKIL bill in the hearing offers a glimmer of hope to us..As I understand the SKIL bill has been referred to the same committee for several months now.

we at IV had contacted members before the testimony. you can get more details in the old thread on this topic.

Hello PPL
My wife's company has filed for her H1B and she has been given the receipt number from her HR dept, but we are unable to check the case status online. whenver wetry to check the status of her case online it says
"Your case can not be found at this time in Case Status Online. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283"
i called up USCIS and they tell me that there is a technical problem and not all case status can be checked online ,they cannot give me any information on the status of the case and the rep said they can convey any info only to the HR dept of her company
However the rep confirmed that the receipt number is valid,
Has anyone had a similar issue? Not sure how i can go about this,
when my wife contacted her company's HR department says that they will keep her posted on any developments in her case
Pls share your experiences

I came in US with my family when I was 15-16, back then we were on L2, then as time passed by we switched to H4. Then I turned 21 so I had to go on Student Visa (F1). Still living in US legally.
Now my question is I've been staying in US over 10 years now, legally. I dont know if its rumor or not, but someone told me, that you can apply for Green Card if you lived in US over 10 years legally, is that true?
Going through all that H1B process sounds really hectic. Also all my family members, friends and relatives are here, I don't know anyone back in my birthplace. any suggestions or tips, would help a bit.
thanks :)

Hi,
My I797 and I94 expired on Sept 30 2009. I have applied for an H1B extension on Sept 26 2009 using premiuim processing.
H1B extension got denied on Oct 29, 2009 after we responded to an RFE on Oct 19.
RFE required me to provide Tax returns, company wage report and employment agreement.
Can any one suggest what are my available options.
How long I can stay in US?
My lawyer is still waiting for the denial letter for more details.
Thanks

Yes it is legal as long as
- the student is in legal status (valid I94 and visa/petition).
- the student is not working/volunteering (peer discussion/helping other students may be ok) for that employer before work authorization.
I unable understand what you mean by "Is he allowed to sign any documents on behalf of the company during this training ?".
Can anyone please tell, can the employee be trained by the employee before activation of visa i.e. 1st of October. The employer is not paying employee any wages for his training. Can his training be legal ? Is he allowed to sign any documents on behalf of the company during this training ?

:mad:I have another query and thats is i have a a far related cousin and her husband is on l1 visa . now my query is what visa is she on and what visa is her daughter on who was born here few months bak . also how shud she apply for a passport for this kid . is this kid an american citizen and also how to go about passport for the kid and also is it required to apply for visa for the kid to travel to India . Another serious issue she is been illtreated by her husband and how should she report this matter to the local police here .
* She is on L2.
* The kid is an American citizen. you can get a passport done at your local post office. Kid needs either visa, or PIO card to travel to india.
* Ask her to call her local police station (or even 911) and report this to the police (unless he has been physically abusive, she can probably tell him the next time he misbehaves she'll go to the police. Explain that a police record could mean lots of problems for him, going all teh way from GC, to getting a future job etc. If he does not shape up or has been physically abusive, then have her contact the police.)

Hi all, I hope someone can provide me with some advice.
I made an awful mistake today. I am in the middle of an H1-B transfer (company just signed application and sent to lawyer for sending to uscis this week) and moving to a different city for this job. I am moving this week and will commute to my old job until my notice gets accepted. My issue:
I had prepared my AR-11 (change of address form) and had it sitting on my desk ready to be mailed once my application was approved (since my application and all documents had my old address from when they started the process). I took the envelope with other mail by mistake today and put it in the mail.
Will this be an issue with the application? I don't know if they'll deny my transfer because of an address discrepancy or something.
Please advise.

Yes, the new quota starts on Monday. However, you still need a current priority date and all security clearnances before you are eligible for approval. (At least that's how it will work for the most part).
Who knows if they used all the 2007 numbers up. I suspect they will be very close to having done that given the number of applications they had.
Out of the entire year quota, they can allocate only 1/4 th of it in the first quater. This is why it is impossible for USCIS to allocate the yearly quota in one day. [Whether they have such a efficient system to do so is a different debate].
I wonder why they don't have such a distribution for H1B allotment though :D
Thanks

You are right
This link says http://www.virginia.edu/iso/issp/OPTandH-1B.ppt#3
It is 90 days without employment on OPT. 10 days of unemployment between two jobs does not count towards the limit. You can also work part-time (20 hrs/week) or as a volunteer to stop the counter.
I recommend contacting your international department for details. They should be able to guide you depending on how useful/active they are!

Nobody other than the USCIS will know, so if you get any any replies, do not believe them.
If you have waited like me for 6 years to get your Labor Certified, then be prepared to wait another 6 years for 140, even if your PD is current and watch others who filed 5 years after you get their GCs.
I urge IV to raise one issue at the DC Rally. Please please ask Mr. Chertoff to do away with this farce called "Priority Date". It is an useless concept and should be done away with immediately. Everyone knows that the GC process is totally random, so why have something known as a "Priority Date" when it is anything but a Priority Date.
