Yes but I was thinking, spouse and children are counted in family based visas and how exempting them will benefit EB visas. Correct me if I'm wrong. :confused:
At present the dependents are counted in the EB cap...So the number 140K for EB is principal applicant+dependents combined...This bill exclude all dependents of EB from any cap...(But the country limits still apply I guess)...
FB and EB cap got nothing to do with each other..

Hi I have H1 papers from my last extension valid until June 15.
I haven't traveled during this period but planning to visit India Between March20 and April 20. So I will have to visit US embassy for stamping.
Can someone please let me know the risk associated with going for stamping with H1 only valid for 2 months.
I am applying for an extension but I will not receive the extension papers until May and do not want to wait until then as this will be my last extension until Dec.
Please advice if its safe to go to US consulate in India for stamping with only 2 months validity on my H1.

Thanks
No, you do not need to go out of US if the I-797 (H1-B approval) comes with an I-94 card.

My Personal experience was:
- When my H1B was filed for the first time it had a wrong Date of Birth, lawyer asked me to bring Birth Certificate to the Interview at the consulate. I did not have problems with the stamping of the visa.
When my extension was filed , again, Date of Birth was wrong. Lawyer told me the same thing. Get recent Birth Certificate and bring it to the Interview.
Did not have any problem at all.
:D

Could you all please give me an opinion on this situation? I am trying to ask my lawyer, but I won't know for a few days and this is disturbing me a lot!
I am on H1, 7th year extension. My Labor just got approved. About to file 140. Now my project has apparently lost funding and the employer is offering me a temp job for 6 months till my 140 gets approved so I can use the approved 140 and move. But the catch is the new job requires a new H1 - different job description and pay. Will this affect my 140 filed with the old H1?

Hi,
is it absolutely safe to travel with pending i 485 app with valid h1b stamping with receipt notice and completed fp.?we are kind of confuded whether to plan for the travel...We have not yet received the actual advance parole. i read somwhere that if u leave the country wth pending i 485 but without ap ur appl is considered abandoned.is this true.?..we have the option to change the trip to apr too.In a nutshell is it completely safe to travel on 485 pending appl without ap with valid stamping.?:confused:
Has any1 wth the same situation has gone and come back without any issues?
Gurus ur input s greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Whats your PD? If you are on H1, have a stamping and already have the 485 receipt, the only possible issue with travel is if your 485 gets approved when you are abroad. People have still managed to enter on H1 as PoE officer apparently does not realize about your 485 approval.
If its a recent PD, then no issues, you can travel (Actually my lawyer told me I can travel even without getting the 485 receipt, but thats apparently a bit of a grey area)

The government has been ramping up enforcement of employment immigration laws, with a particular focus on insuring that companies are staying in compliance. The number of enforcement activities has increased dramatically in the past year. Now, more than ever, it�s important to insure that your company is ready in case of a government I-9 audit. And for the first time, it�s not enough to be in compliance. Each company must prove compliance, and if using an electronic system, use one that works in accordance with immigration laws.
The San Diego Union Tribune reports (http://signonsandiego.com/news/2010/oct/09/immigration-audits-are-increasing-against/), enforcement in San Diego County mirrors a national trend toward more scrutiny of employers� I-9 forms, the universal tool for verifying permission to work in the United States.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, initiated 66 audits with local employers in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, reviewing 5,588 individual I-9s in the process. That was up from 44 audits in fiscal 2009 and just one audit in 2008. A company can be fined up to $1,100 for each illegal employee, and knowingly violating verification laws can lead to criminal charges and forfeited assets.
So the heat is now on employers to clean the house, it is also a great burden on employees to find work. As the illegal population continues to grow, they will also find creative ways to deal with the system. All we can suggest employers is to conduct routine internal I-9 audits and have an immigration policy in place, this is the best practice to follow.

this makes it very hard for people who jumped jobs in their 7th/8th years with 1 year extensions from new employer. All were hoping to get LC+I_140 done within that year so they are eligible for further H1B extensions.

My fianc�e lives in Mexico and I live in the United States. We are planning on getting married this summer. As soon as I return, I'm planning on beginning the process so that my future wife could come to the United States to live with me. We plan on getting married in the Catholic Church, but we have doubts if that type of marriage is a valid one for this specific situation. We just don't want a delay in the process simply because it was a religious marriage and we want to be with each other as soon as possible. My question is: Is a religious marriage valid for this situation? Which one would you recommend: Having a civil marriage or a religious marriage in Mexico?
I don't know about Mexico but, in India, most of the citizens have religious weddings and then, they register that with the Marriage Registrar's office to get a marriage certificate.

Thank you. The lawyer is in Missouri. I will try to ask the documentation back.
In the US, attorney ethics rules vary somewhat from state to state. In most states, you are clearly entitled to all substantive materials contained in your case file. Unless the retainer/fee agreement clearly obligates you to pay for copying costs in this circumstance, the law firm should give you the documents you want without charge.

Guys,
I sent my 485/ead/ap filing fee as one cashiers check.
This Cashiers check was created in end of June 2007 ( generaly validity till Sept 07 (90 days). Application was mailed in end of July by Attorney.
Now based on general application process, i am worried about my cashiers check being invalid before USCIS cashes the check and they may cancel the application.
Has anyone else had such an issue, & what is solution to this problem.
Please suggest.
