Hi,

I am on L1B with I94 expiring on April 2012 from Company X, I found an employer Company Y who will file my H1B in June/July 2011 under premium processing. If H1B is approved then:
1. Can I work under Company X till Sep end and join Company Y from 1st Oct without any hassel?
2. Will my status will change automatically from L1 to H1 from Oct 1st onwards?
3. Will my new H1b will be valid until April 2012 only? as my current i94 (on L1B) is till April 2012?
4. I can travel to India and return in Sep 2011 using my existing L1B? Will there be any problem in port of entry? I have traveled using L1B to-from India multiple times, but I am concerned now because I will be having H1b approved along with L1B.
5. Is there anything special I have to ask the employer before filing H1b so I can go and return from India on my L1b status?

Will appreciate response.

Most people know the story of this famous Austrian family that was the subject of the musical play and film The Sound of Music. Many may not realize that after the family fled Austria, they immigrated to the United States and brought their singing talent to American audiences. They also opened a lodge in Vermont that operates to this day. Father George and mother Maria passed on many years ago, but some of the children of that large family are still with us. Oldest daughter Agatha is now 96, but just a few years ago wrote a biography. Her sister...

Interesting

In FY 2007 there were 18 States with over 1,000 certifi
ed PERM positions, and in FY 2008 there were only
12. Following this trend, there were only eight States
in FY 2009 with over 1,000 certifi ed PERM positions,
and in FY 2009 the number of positions approved in
each of these eight States declined signifi cantly. The
most signifi cant decreases occurred in California, Texas,
and Illinois, where the number of positions approved
declined over 45 percent from FY 2008. The most
demanded occupational positions in FY 2009 were
found in the Information Technology industry, with the
Advanced Manufacturing and Finance industries also
drawing a large number of position requests.

My current H1 expires on Sept 30. My employer is planning to apply for an extension in the first week of April. Can they file my LCA in advance so that they can have an approved LCA by the first week of April? Or, do they have to wait till Apr 1st (6 months before current H1 expiration) to file for the LCA ? I was not able to find information about this specific scenario.

Thanks in advance.

Hello! I went to US to work in a summer/work travel experience under a J1 VISA.

My VISA expired on APR/01/2007 , but I sent a letter to USCIS asking to change my VISA status to B1/B2. The letter just arrived at the USCIS Office on APR/02/2007. I kept working until JUN/15.

In JUN/20/2007 I left US back to my home country and later accessing the USCIS site I figured out that my request was processed and denied.

Now I'm graduated in Business and was hired to work in a big company in NYC, they are requesting me to get another J1 VISA (this time J1 Trainee for a 1,5 year).

I would like to know if this kind of situation generates a BAN, or if I will have any kind of trouble in the interview in the US Embassy.

Thank you so much!

My company has been going through layoffs for the past 3 quarters and are unable to start my GC process. I believe they have to wait for 6 months before they go forward and apply. I am talking about a big company with different departments like operations, marketing and most of the layoffs are happening in these, but recruitment is active in IT. They are regularly recruiting new resources and increasing the head count.
I have following questions:
1) Can my company show that the layoffs are happening in different depts and go ahead and process my GC?
2) What is the risk in doing so.
3) Anyone experiencing a similar situation and could successfully get their GC process started and have approved labor/I140?

Thanks for your suggestions.

It would be risky.F-1 visa requires strong ties to homeland. Since your parents are already here, it would be difficult for you to prove that you will indeed go back to India on completion of your studies.

Guys, My appeal "I290B" for a denied I140 under EB3 category was submitted on March 5th 2008 to TEXAS service center AAO.

I have 2 questions in tracking the application

1) Are all I290B's processed initially where I140 is denied and then later sent to DC office, or completely processed by TSC.

2) If the applications are sent to DC after review by TSC. how long does TSC take to review the application before forwarding to DC and how long will DC require to process the application to close the case (I know total is 14 months for EB3)

Hello,

I joined and contributed already to the IV although I am not yet on the GC queue. I support you all with my heart.

I have a different concern about PERM filing. My application will be EB2 with Ms + 4 years as Senior Soft Eng, and my lawyer asked my manager to create the business necessity letter for MS degree. He is not experienced with this kind of paperwork and the lawyer seems to be just not helpful rather demanding... I was wondering if somebody in IV had to deal with this business necessity letter. Any information would be helpful...

Best Regards,
Ps: you can email me at pdx2004etm@hotmail.com
