My current reporting structure with my employer is:
Client -> Prime Vendor -> Consultant X -> My employer
Another consultant is ready to transfer my visa and the reporting structure there is
Client -> Prime Vendor -> My employer
A prime vendor (not the same client) is also ready to transfer my visa
Client -> My employer
I am planning to transfer it to either (or both) of the above two companies. Will there be a problem in those two companies filing for a tranfer at (approx) the same time?
Is there a way I can ask an attorney directly (I am willing to pay for that service)
It is not an issue. You can hold/apply for any number of H1s at the same time.

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
As many regular readers of this blog know, I am impressed by the amazing work of Vivek Wadhwa, research associate at Harvard, and an entrepreneur in residence at Duke. This week his most recently published article, The University Of Competition (http://www.outlookindia.com/full.asp?fodname=20090622&fname=GCol+Vivek+Wadhwa+(F)&sid=1), in Outlook India, points out the obvious--"with its flawed immigration policies, the U.S. has exported part of its economic stimulus and is providing a windfall of premium talent to these countries (India and China)."
Vivek also appeared in a NPR's Marketplace segment on how sophisticated engineering jobs are disappearing from the U.S. and moving to India (http://marketplace.publicradio.org/www_publicradio/tools/media_player/popup.php?name=marketplace/pm/2009/06/17/marketplace_cast2_20090617_64). The report by Janet Babin starts with an unemployed Silicon Valley engineer and ends with Wim Elfrink � Cisco�s Chief Globalization Officer who is based in Bangalore. In that piece, Vivek discusses how the world has changed and how companies now need to be near growth markets.
This pieces and other recent pieces show that plodding ideas about commissions and study groups to recommend visa numbers are relics of a past age. The question is, will Congress act quickly enough on immigration reform to actually make a difference in helping our economy recover. Every immigration lawyer knows these simple truths--lazy people do not walk across the desert. And, its corollary--the Hope that is American attracts those willing to work hard to succeed. Well, the former principle is still true, at least for now. The latter is giving way to hopelessness--backlogged visa numbers ("encased in amber"), and a growing and vibrant economy in China and India. The failure to act quickly is going to cost America in the long run. Let's pray someone in the White House and on Capitol starts this immigration reform discussion moving before it is too late.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/186823568153827945-2392842088350390333?l=ailaleadership.blogspot.com

Please help me in this regard.
I came to US in Sep 2003 using H4 visa. Later in 2004 I applied for H1 visa with two different companies. first one got approved in Oct 2004, second one got approved in Nov 2004. I started working with the second company since Dec 2004.
Now, is it wrong not joining the first company upon approval. Since H1 status starts as soon as visa is approved, have i violated any status rules here by not working with first company at all?. What would be my status since the first H1 was approved and until i started working with second company?
Had i been out of status during the time period between Oct and Nov 2004?
Thank you.

Did you contact them?What did they say?Did you receive any EAD or AP because some people receive those even before getting receipt numbers???
Yes, I contacted them several times. They only ask you to wait more.
I also have sent two emails to DHS, CIS Ombudsman's office. They asked me to use a Form 7001.
I sent the Form 7001 to CIS Ombudsman on Nov/07. I didn't even get a receipt confirmation from Ombudsman's office.
I was able to open a service request after 5 months of waiting, on Dec/07. I'm still waiting for a reply about the SR.
I faxed a letter to the service center.
Nothing so far.
It's seems like the package got lost (as well as my lawyer :p ).
I just wanted to show you that there is more people in the same situation from July.
Hang in there!
Best of luck.

Yes lonemetro,
You can re-use priority date established on first I-140 for any sub-sequent I-140 filling. As I understand from your post, you have EB3 labor approved and have just filed for I-140 based on it.
Now, parent company wants to transfer you. Generally I would think you should be able to transfer and still have your GC process going if the company indeed is a 'parent company' but seems there is something different here.
As a general rule, as long as your previously approved I-140 remained approved, you can re-use priority date established for that I-140 for any subsequent I-140 petition. The sub-sequent petition can be with any employer, and yes, you would need a new labor to file that new I-140 :)
Try EB1 or EB2 this time :cool:

Hi,
I am Us citizen and sent a request letter with my Mom to US Embassy in Armenia to kindly grant my Mom a tourist visa to visit me and my new born son. I also signed and sent dully filled and signed Affidavit of Support form with all the requested paper work. However, my Mom was denied the tourist visa on the grounds that I did not returned to Armenia in 2000 (8 years Ago) before my J1 Visa expiration.
But I got visa extension befor J1 visa expiration then applied for permanent resident and got my green card).
I did not violate any regulation.
What can I do ? Please Help.
I think a good Attorney can draft a letter to the consulate explaining the waiver.
Don't we all agree that these agencies actually need lawyers and not us?

>>i got my L1 stamped at Chennai . can i apply for my would be wife l2 visa at Delhi consulate ??
It would be based on your wife's state of origin. If she is from karnataka, kerala, tamilnadu, then she would have to go to chennai. The states that a consulate supports would be listed on their website.
>> My company is not doing any documentation for my wife L2 . can i do all myself
Yes, you can. Search for 'L2 visa documents' online. The process is similar to B1/B2 ( It was, 2 years ago. Do confirm online).

So a question that's worth pondering. If I am on 485/EAD without H1b, does this mean I have the right to work but not the right to stay in the US?
The EAD card only gives us the right to work (as said on the card, cannot be used for entry), and my 485 has been pending for more that 240 days.
Is there any explicit stipulation for the 485 that allows me to be in the US as long as it is not denied?

Even if your extension gets denied then your current H1 is still valid till Sep 2009 and you can work till then ..

My I-485 is pending, was filed in July, 07. My PD is June, 04 (EB2 India). I-140 is approved. I have to leave the US for a year to work on an expat assignment beginning last week of December, 07. I have my EAD and AP. Also, I am on a valid H1-B until May, 2008 but will be applying for an extension until May, 2009.
Please let me know your thoughts if it would be ok for me to leave the US for a continuous period of one year while my I-485 is pending? I plan to renter the US on H-1B and not EAD/AP.
Also, does one need to be physically present in the US to renew EAD and AP? My EAD and AP will expire in September, 07 but will I be able to renew them when I am back in Jan,09?
For the period I am gone, do I need to pay any taxes on my foreign-earned income if I am going to a jurisdiction with which India has a favorable tax treaty? If my I-485 is pending but I am not working in the US, I do not need to pay taxes for the income earned abroad if I do not meet the "substantial prsence test" (183 days)?
Any thoughts will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I read somewhere that the new memo is effective immediately. So you should consult with your immigration attorney soon. You might be able to take advantage of the new memo and get 6 years of H1b.

Hi folks,
Does anybody know if there is a receipt for I-140?
I'd like to make sure that it was successfully received by processing center. Do you think it is polite to ask my company lawyer for this receipt or since she told me that it was filed I should just sit and relax...:rolleyes:

Guru's pl help..
One of friends 485(primary) was pending and his wife's 485(derivative) also pending.
Both of them are on H1(different employers) and they both lay-off around the same time about 4 months ago. My friends employer has been running paychecks for him but his wife's employer canceled her H1.
Is she now on "AOS" status or out-of-status?
Is she has to file H4 as my friend's dependent?
Thanks in advance..
