Thank you frostrated for your reply!
I have valid H-1 visa to re-enter US. My visa is valid till Dec 2011. I already got that stamped when i went to india last year.
So I shouldn't run into any problems at the port of entry, even if my AP gets approved while I am out of the country, right? Thanks so much for taking time to answer.

total time in labor with news paper advt and all buffer is 6-8 months. I140 take another 2 weeks in premium processing. so in all 9months approx. that should give further extension on H1b.
Also even if previous I140 is revoked, you can have your PD attached to this new labor during I140 application.
good luck.

Client just called and asked for a change of status from B2 visitor to F1 student. I said, great we can help, but when does your status expire. He said, no worries I am good for 10 years!!! Been here for 4 only.
I said: No you are not, the I-94 (little white card in the passport) is what controls your status, this only good for 6 months max. I heard a loud sound of falling and silence. For those who are in the U.S. temporarily as nonimmigrants, the most important date to track is perhaps the expiration date of their I-94 arrival / departure cards. The I-94 is a small card that is usually stapled into one's passport. It is obtained in one of two ways. It can be issued by a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at the port of entry upon arrival in the United States. It can also be issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) when one is granted an extension or change of nonimmigrant status from within the United States.
The I-94 card reflects how long one is permitted to stay in the United States, provided s/he complies with the terms of her/his status. Occasionally, the CBP or USCIS will issue an I-94 card with an erroneous date (either issuing an approval for a longer period than is permitted by law or granting an individual less time than appropriate.) In either case, one should immediately obtain competent legal advice on the proper steps to correct the error.
One should never rely upon an erroneous grant of more time in a nonimmigrant category than was requested or than one is eligible to receive. So if you are pending change of status for 2 years, it does not mean that you are legal for 2 years.
It is important to remember that the expiration date on a visa stamp in the passport and the expiration date on the I-94 card are often not the same. The visa is an entry document, only. The time that one is actually allowed to remain in the United States after an entry could be much shorter or longer than the duration of the visa.
The appropriate amount of time is determined by the CBP at the port of entry. This is based on applicable law as well as the CBP's discretion.

Thank you for the reply. I should have been more explicit, the extension of H1 was filed by company B on the basis of company A H1 during transfer , the extension was denied but a new H1 approval notice with company B was given.

hello,
Processing Type: Regular Processing
Receipt Number: WAC081-465-XXXX
Received Date: APR,24 2008
Notice Number: N/A
RFE Date:
RFE Responded Date: sep 16 2008
Status: RFE responded and case resumed
iam going to wait since one year.but still its going to be delay.my employer didn't say anything. I was getting frustrated everytime I looked at it, same statment: "Case resumed"
what will i do?can i raise the service request?can i directly call to the uscis?
please suggest me...
AFAIK, If your H1 petition is an extension with the same employer and its 240 days past your I-94 expiry date, you should consider stop working. If your petition is H1 transfer, you can continue to work until the decision. As OP suggested, do the premium and get it over with. IMO, it is worth putting that 1k rather than living in anticipation. Good luck.

OK. Thanks. Doyou know hwomuch this will delay the approval. I mean the fact that orginal is not sent and we have only a copy.
Internally, NSC or TSC will get ask for confirmation of your labor from DOL. Most of the times there are no issues. The biggest factor to begin with is that instead of being able to do Premium processing and get your 140 in 15 days, now you are looking at a period of 4-8 months in normal processing and there is nothing you can do to speed up the process.

Thank you all for the information I have a followup question :
USCIS asks during visa extension on the visits outside US. So do I have to mention this one?

Dear Vatsa,
I'll tell you what it takes.
It takes strength, both in membership and money. And the former helps bring the latter.
Please help introduce a member to IV by Jan 15th. Help create our own voice (to break the annoying silence that you talk about).
Encourage others to participate in the Add ONE Member campaign started by IV.
Thank you.
Absolutely right. Join the Add a member campaign. We already achieved a minor goal of becoming 8000 strong way before the goal-date of Jan15th. But we really need to be 10,000+ strong.

I got my FP done a couple of weeks ago at the Dallas ASC on the scheduled date. Have noticed from other threads that people have gone to other ASC at an unscheduled date and were able to get it done. I think you can go as well and explain your situation if they object. If they are not too busy that day they might let you in; guess the hours are from 8AM to 3PM. You can try to be the first one in the morning. It doesn't take more than 15 minutes for the entire process. Good Luck!!

Thank you uma001 for your response. My H1-B is valid until Nov 2010. As per your advice, I need get things started. Its so frustrating - job, employer, gc, being away from kids.
Since your spouse is working, You can look for consulting position in east coast ,get the project and file for H1 ,file for green card simultaneosuly assuming your 5th year completes by November 2010 (not 6th year, you mentioned H1 valid until November 2010). You still have 6 full months time.

My friend will come from India on H1B first time to Atlanta Air port this weekend. His H1B was approved for year 2008 and his stamping was done in early 2009. His H1B is from small desi consulting company. What kind of questions he may face? Any inputs will highly appreciated.
One of the most common questions for situation your friend is in is why he waited this long to come to the US after approval of H1B visa. Another question is to show proof of job availability. It is 2 years since a petition was applied for him and a year since he got his visa. Unless he has some very solid answers, there is a possibility that they might deny his entry.
If you say that another position has opened up for which he is coming, then the next question would be if a new LCA was applied for the new position, which would then open up a totally new ball game. I would suggest that you have your friend contact his company lawyer for suggetions, rather than listen to advice given by people here who have not been in such situations.

For those worried about not being able to live in the UK, I say "Don't worry, you are not missing a great deal".
I have lived & worked in UK for a couple of years many years back. Like most of my acquaintances at that time I didn't (want to) live there long. Most of my friends left for US, I returned to India. And then to US.
Life is US has its problems, the immigration backlog is one of them. But it is really a walk in the park compared to that in Britain. UK is one of the most racist society I have ever seen. There is racism in all countries (even in India, we call it Casteism) but no where as overt as in UK. In UK, the work culture isn't all that great, life is boring and the weather sucks. No wonder a recent investigation by BBC reported that 7 out of 10 Britons now prefer to live outside UK mainly because it's high cost of living, lack of livable space and for little more sunshine. And that number is growing every year. In % terms, that's the highest number and in absolute terms it is the 3rd highest expat population of any country, only India & China ranks higher. Britons now prefer the sunny & more livable places such as Spain (culture), Australia (language) and Florida (proximity).
When I left UK, it was with relief. Now when I visit UK on work or enroute to other countries, I feel sorry for the folks back there. I would any day prefer living in India - if not in US - than living in UK.

It looks to me like they made a mistake on the valid dates for the new EAD. That happened to me last year, I received my new EAD card and it was only good for 1.5 months.
I had to mail them the card and after a couple of calls and some headaches they sent me a new EAD card, this time valid for 2 years.
Good luck!
