Hi can someone advise me what is the best way and steps (forms and other supporting documents) to extend the stay for my mother in law beyond the 6 months as given on her entry under 10 year visitor visa for few more months (3-4 months) please. We have a religious ceremony so that she can stay beyond the 6 months and attend. One of the lawyers told me that beyond 6 month as given during her entry is not possible which I doubt it. Pl advise/share your experiences from those of you have gone through this process recently.

Kevin,
It's no different using the future employment EAD from that of a current employment EAD. However, I would suggest you work for that future employment company for say 6 months before you use AC21 and move on to a different job. This would alleviate the risk of INS considering your case to be fradulent.

I agree with Anders. Diagonals are always a nice draw for the eye. Also, a little more DoF would be nice because the bottom right of the leaf is just creeping out of the focal plane. Cool leaf texture, good choice of subject.

I went for an Infopass appointment at the Boston USCIS District Office today. My wife's case status had suddenly changed to "On November 5, 2007 a notice was returned to us undeliverable..." on Jan 7, and we wanted to find out what was going on (the national customer service was of no help at all when we called). Our appointment was at 8.15 AM; we arrived at the JFK Building (Government Center) at 8 AM, went through the standard federal security (very much like an airport) to the USCIS suite. There was hardly anybody waiting in line. The officer at the door checked our appointment notice, and gave us a ticket number, and asked us to take a seat and wait for our number to be called. The arrangment there is like the social security office...there are service counters, and a waiting area in front where you sit and wait to be called.
When our number was called, we walked up to the counter, and the agent greeted us and asked us to present our appointment letter and an ID. She then asked us the purpose of our visit. I explained to her how the status on my wife's pending I-485 had changed to "Notice returned undeliverable", and we were concerned about a missed deadline. She asked for the I-485 receipt notice, then proceeded to look for information on her computer. She repeated our mailing address that was in the system, and asked us to confirm that it was correct. She then printed out something, and told us she'll be right back. I guess she went to see her supervisor for some help (she appeared to be new). After about 5-7 minutes, she came back and told us that she couldn't see what the notice was that was returned, but everything looked ok on my wife's case. She told us (without our asking) that her name check was cleared, and so was her fingerprint search. She said that the case was assigned to an officer, and it was last updated on Jan 7.
Although the agent could still not tell us what was returned undeliverable, she pretty much cleared our doubt that a biometrics appoinmtment or something else was pending. She also confirmed that the name check was cleared.
Our infopass experience at the Boston office was pleasant and fruitful. I think one should try to go early, as there is less crowd, and agents are willing to spend more time answering your questions.

For first time H1B stamping, do we have to get it done in our Home country (India in my case)? Or can we get it done in Canada or Mexico?
I am currently on my OPT and have applied for my H1B visa. Your input will be appreciated!
Thanks

The H-2B non-agricultural temporary worker program allows U.S. employers to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary non-agricultural jobs. As of 07/16/10, USCIS receipted 30,154 petitions, toward the 47,000 beneficiaries target for the second half of the fiscal year. This count includes 28,539 approved and 1,615 pending petitions.
There is a statutory numerical limit, or �cap,� on the total number aliens who may be issued a visa or otherwise provided H-2B status (including through a change of status) during a fiscal year. Currently, the H-2B cap set by Congress is 66,000 per fiscal year, with 33,000 to be allocated for employment beginning in the 1st half of the fiscal year (October 1 - March 31) and 33,000 to be allocated for employment beginning in the 2nd half of the fiscal year (April 1 - September 30). Any unused numbers from the first half of the fiscal year will be made available for use by employers seeking to hire H-2B workers during the second half of the fiscal year. There is no �carry over� of unused H-2B numbers from one fiscal year to the next.
The H2B visa is available to employers of foreign workers not working in the agricultural field. This visa is only available for work that is temporary in nature. For H2B purposes, that means:
* Recurring seasonal need;
* Intermittent need;
* Peak-load need; and
* One time occurrence.
The employer must also prove that there are no unemployed US workers willing or able to do the work. This is established through the state's employment agency using a labor certification process. This process requires a recruitment campaign, including advertising in a local newspaper for available temporary workers. The duration of the visa is limited to the employer's need for the temporary workers. The maximum authorized period is one year. However, the employer may extend the duration of the visa up to three years -- but with a very close watch from the immigration authorities.

Here (http://www.dphoto.us/forumphotos/showgallery.php?cat=1377) are a few pictures from my excursion to Turkey Run S P last weekend. While my camera performed better than I expected from a late-90's era 2.7MP DSLR, I didn't fare so well, coming home with far fewer "keepers" than I would have liked. My greatest problem was that I either didn't set up a tripod or failed to increase the ISO to get more DOF in many landscape shots that needed it, and frequently I also got motion blur from lack of tripod usage. This experience has taught me that for me personally, even though the D1 is 2 stops faster than Velvia, I still must slow down and use a tripod - not only to prevent blur and enable slower exposures, but also to force a slower and more thoughtful pace of composition.

you can also change employers immediately. Your spouse is the primary applicant, and hte 180 day AC21 rule applies to her. You can:
- use EAD whenever you want
- change jobs whenever you want
- change job profile however you want.
she:
- can use EAD whenever she wants
- change jobs after 180 days
- change onto a job in the same or similar profile.

I work with a consulting company on client side. The client is planning a shutdown for 2 days a month - 2nd and 4th Friday.
Do you guys think its gonna impact 485 application. I am asking this question cause the labor was approved for 40/hrs per week and the salary slip shows the number of hrs worked per month which will be lesser than 160 (in case the month has 4 weeks).
BTW, I am on EAD and 140 approved couple of years back.
Thanks
Pavan -
You should maintain 40/hr per week. This could mean - your consulting company paying these days for your "full time job". The other option is - taking paid time off for these days. Again, it should be paid time off.
Good Luck.

you can check with a lawyer to be sure ,
but what i think is -->
since u have a new born Kid in india which u wish to bring to the US, i think that would be only possible at this point if you sponsor a H4 for him. And for you to sponsor h4 for him means you will need to continue to be on H1 visa.
Your decision to continue to use H1, will not affect your Ead/AP. But once again, until you apply 485 for your kid , it will need H4 status to remain in the US, hence forcing u to stay on H1.

You can definately get a 1 year extension based on the fact that your labor is approved and is more that 365 days before your h1, 6 year limit ended. You can also port your I-140 PD if you have a copy of the I-140. This you can do when you file for I-140 with the new company. With regards to a 3 year extension with the new company "Y", there is no clear ruling on this. But you can try for a 3 year extension, and you might get it if you are lucky ( I've read that people were able to get it).
Please check with a good attorney like Rajiv or Murthy.

I worked for company A as a full time employee from May 21st,07 to July 11th,08 and then company B filled my H1B transfer on June06th,08 and I joined company B on June 17th, 08 as a full time employee.
So there is a overlap, I mean I worked for company A and Company B as a Full time employee from June 17th,08 - July 11th,08 and got full time salary from both of these companies.
1. So will it be a issue, if companyB or some other company sponsers me a Green card in future?
2. Can I use the experience letter issued by the CompanyA for Green Card purposes? If not then shall I mention to my attorney/Company who will sponser me Green card that I worked for companyA till June 16th,08 and there is no overlap.
Experts Please Advise

Hi Guys,
I have an appeal Pending with AAO for a denied I140 EB3 India 2004, If I withdraw my appeal and refile I140 I know I will loose pending I485 application. but will have ability to extend my h1 in november showing the refiled I140?
Recently went through the following info....don't know if it helps you or not....
USCIS Policy on Refiling of I-140 Petition Pending AAO Appeal
The AILA-USCIS Service Center Operations Office Liaison minute indicates that the USCIS will allow the employers to refile I-140 petition when the denial of I-140 has been appealed and pending before the AAO. However, such refiled I-140 petition will be held in abeyance pending the decision of the AAO for the appealed I-140 petition. It advises that in order to seek the adjudication of the refiled I-140 petition, the employer must withdraw the pending AAO appeal. However, people must understand that such decision should not be made too lightly in that there are a lot of benefits attached to the pending AAO appeal, which will be wiped out once the appeal is withdrawn. Such benefits include AC-21 extension of H-1B nonimmigrant status even beyond the six-year limit. Besides, pending the appeal, the USCIS decision of denial is considered "not final," and there are a number of benefits attached to the situation when the denial is considered not final.

Hi folks,
I have a appointment at calgary, canada for my H1 extension visa stamping. Any one has experience in Calgary.
My spouse entered the US on H4, she has a MBBS degree from india and she got H1 sponsored by a reputed university to do research.
I read on the posts that first time H4 to H1 stamping might pose a issue in canada if a person does not have degrees from US or Canada.
Please let me know.
Thanks

If H1 for your spouse is already approved, there should not be any problem provided you carry all necessary documentation. If it is under processing (not yet approved), and you have your H1 approved, your spouse should not have problem for H4.
