Hello guys,
If the employer is not willing to share your I-140 approval status with you, is there a way to find out this information from other sources?
I currently have my 485 & AP numbers but do not have I-140 number to track on the USCIS website.
Thanks for help in advance.

I am a resident physician on h1b visa which is expiring on 6-30-2010 . I am in process of applying for H1B extension for my fellowship. My wife is on H4 visa (expiring in 3-20-2013 since she got 5 yr multiple visa). Recently she visited Kuwait and on her re-entry she was given entry (on her I94) up to 3-15-2013 (up to 5 days prior to her visa expiration). Will she also need extension in this case along with my extension or can she stay in US till 2013 with out extension Thanks.
Thanks.
I did it for my wife. If your spouse plans to use H1B even after 6 years of its expiry, then having her own I-140 will help to get 3 year extensions

It looks as though they have updated their page. Previously they were suggesting people apply 180 days in advance.
You are right a month ago it used to say 180 days as I have a print out and now it say's 120 days...since we are dealing with notorious USCIS who are very popular of doing such silent updates and there won't be any track of updated time stamp or date stamp anywhere on this website...(which is another useless page) I guess they do it on purpose and not sure if you remember recently how they changed dates for NSC & TSC for 140 processing dates etc....

Quarterly spil over will not happen untill overall demand is met
Let me know if my interpretaion is wrong.
"The American Competitiveness in the
Twenty-First Century Act (AC21) removed the per-country limit in any calendar quarter in
which overall applicant demand for Employment-based visa numbers is less than the total of
such numbers available"
Thanks

Sen. Patrick Leahy ( D-Vermont ) introduced the Uniting American Families Act ( S. 424 ) earlier this year; it has 18 co-sponsors. The bill would allow same sex couples the same immigration rights as married heterosexual couples. Passage of the bill is likely to be tied to overall immigration reform.
At the moment, same-sex partners of legal immigrants do not have the same rights to dependent status that heterosexual spouses get. This is true even if the couple is legally married in their home country. Often, the "dependent" partner must apply for a B-2 visitor visa at the consulate, to accompany his/her partner. This visa is discretionary, and consulates could refuse to issue it. In addition, B-2 status does not allow the dependent partner to work in the US. Many heterosexual dependent spouses have a status that doesn't allow them to work either, however.
As the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/03/us/politics/03immig.html) reports:
Senator Leahy�s bill would add the term �permanent partner� to sections of current immigration law that refer to married couples, and would provide a legal definition of those terms.
�I just think it�s a matter of fairness,� he said Tuesday in an interview, noting that a number of American allies, including Canada, France and Germany, recognize same-sex couples in immigration law. Photo by http://www.flickr.com/photos/boscobridalexpos/

true but is you ever want to come again on B1 return as soon as possible.
you got a stamp of 6 months stamp of 5.5 ..
to get a longer stamp next time try not to stay even the full 5.5 months

There is a small but noticeable difference in quality going from 6MP to 10MP. Since I went from 2.7MP to 10MP, I haven't experienced this first hand, but I'm told that the extra 4MP generally allow you to print about one size larger than you felt comfortable with before (hence, if you only accepted 11x14's from 6MP images, then with the 10MP photos you'll probably be happy with 16x20's).
Pixel peeping aside, I'm glad that you're happy with your new gear. Have fun (as I'm sure you will)! :cool:

I have a question which I have been wanting to ask for a while, so if GC is for a future job then can someone incorporate a company and work for self on EAD/AC21. If there is query for ablity to pay then at that point can you have an offer from other company and work for that company for 6 months once you get 485 approved.
Greencard is for the future job you are going to do, after getting the green card.

Hello,
In first place this is not a place where you will have individuals answering questions related to Canadian Immigration. You can look at "http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board" and get more info on the same.
To answer your questions, In first place this program comes up with few clauses. Your eligibility to apply for this program is contingent upon the fact that you hold a current H1B and are working on H1B for atleast one year. It is also important to prove your H1B status when you get your permanent residency with Canada. With the over flow of applications, they added another clause in the form of eligibility which will make only "IT Managers" eligible for this category. They were taking applications with all NOC codes but offlate around May 29, the eligibility is dependent on your IT Manager role.
Blog through the above site and you should be able to get more info. Check this one too

I was in a similar situation, and they got my PP H1 because of my overseas travel.
If you get a H1 extension before you travel, you can show the new H1 (I-797) at the POE and the inspector will stamp Mar 08 on your new I-94.
If your H1 is not approved by the time of your return, you can have Mar 07 on your I-94, and your extension approved thereafter is valid. The I-797 will have a I-94 that'll be valid till Mar 08.
The gray area, it seems, is if your H1 is approved when you are outside the country. In that situation, apparently, you need to get a visa stamp before you re-enter US. If you think that you could be in this situation, check with an attorney. I think they call this the "Last Action Rule".
I have my H1-stamping and I-94 valid until March 07, My H1 extension was applied during Nov - 06, but not approved yet....In the mean while, can I visit India and return by Feb 07 ? On my return, I will still get my I-94 till March 07, but Once my H1 extension is approved it will have the I-94 attached to it till Mar 08, is this I-94 valid ?
My employer is saying that, the new I-94 that I got from my H1-extension is not valid and they have to file a new H1 OR I have to convert the H1 extension to Premium and travel with the approved H1 extension ?
Please advise. Thanks

Guys
Im just thinking aloud here. We want to be heard and we want to educate people as to how we are different from Illegal immigrants.
Why not post a question for the Republican debate? If our questions get selected and aired we will have 30 seconds of national television audience. We might even get some answers from some presidential candidates.
What i have in mind is get a few of us together, preferably people from different nationalities. Each one of us will hold a placard with
Legal Immigrant in bold, educational qualification, Federal tax paid, State tax paid, SSN tax paid and finally number of years in green card wait.
One person.. can then briefly mention what our issues are and ask what the candidate can do for us.
Each placard also has immigrationvoice.org on it...we have free advertising, we have airtime for free... and we have a national audience.
I know very well that the candidates answer may not directly help us.. but at least we will get some attention. Many many citizens watch the debate.
Thanks

A startup in the area filed for my PERM and it was approved in June 2010. Right now, they are in a mess about their tax returns and reauditing with their CPA and it seems that they will not be able to provide tax statements for this year end.
That will cause the PERM to expire without filing I140 since PERM expires in Dec. Is there anyway for us to file extension for the PERM ? More than 180 days...

Hello,
I have been approved for a new H1 visa for 2 years - Consulate Case. My previous visa extension was denied & so applied for a new one with a different company in a different state. I m trying to book an appointment online for the interview in which I have to fill up DS 156 form. There is one question # 24, where it is asking me write the address where I will stay. At present, I have not decided on address as I don't know stamping would be approved or not. So what do I need to write there. I presently stay in a different stay where I own a house.
Lawyers & experienced people pls. help out as soon as possible... I am running out of time...
Thanx In advance
The address should be the one which you are currently staying (on file with USCIS when you filed for GC or notified using AR-11).
