There is a memo which says that you can get 1 year H1 till u get the license.
MurthyDotCom : H1B Petitions Should be Approved for 1 Year w/out State License (http://www.murthy.com/news/UDh1pets.html)
However I am not sure if RN positions quality for a h1-b. There was a 50,000 green cards nurses category a cpl of years back for nurses because nurses do not quality for h1. However they did not extend the category.

Hi,
I have my I140 approved from a reputed company. My priority date is Nov 30th 2007. I have not been able to file I485 because of the priority date not being current. I am planning to move back to India next year. In the future, if I do wish to come back through family based immigration because my brother is a US citizen, will I be able to use the Nov 30th 2007 priority date toward my family based immigration case.
Thanks in advance.

I am in the same boat.
Approved I-140 in EB3 category. Current employer wants to file in EB2 category, they gave me a new job that qualifies for the category but my Attorney says that I have to withdraw my current EB3 application..
I have read so many post here and every where that tells me that it is possible to continue the process but my lawyer says that I need to withdraw EB3 case.... Any one knows good lawyer around DC Metro area with good experience for Eb3 to Eb2 transfer with the same employer
You do not have to withdraw your EB3 application. You are doing the right thing by trying to find a new lawyer.

I am working on EAD, if it doesnt come in time any ideas about the FAX # which you need to send your request? I have already opened an expedite request for my EAD by calling USCIS customer service, I just need the fax # and the cover letter format. I heard that even if you take an info pass appointment, they dont issue an interim EAD , is that correct?

You need the reference. Go to the solution window (located on the right side and right click on it and select add reference). Empty project is just that, empty.
Console applications are normally the non-GUI projects. It will default and add certain references.
Just for some future information you can create class library for creating a dll with a project. Useful if you are using certain code in multiple solutions. In this way instead of including the files you just include the project and in the solution put a reference to the project and it includes the .dll (dynamic link library) file when building the solution.

I am going out of country for 8 weeks, do you think i can move to state minimum insruance during this period and save some money ?
Please provide your valuable opinion.
Thanks
You can definitely save money by doing that. I had to keep my car in storage for an extended period when I was away and I just kept the comprehensive part of the insurance coverage and removed all others including collision since I was not driving it. The cost of insurance with out the collision, etc. is very low.

Hello,
I got a notice today saying that my H1B withdrawal notice has been sent on Sep9th (today).
My new employer applied LCA yesterday (09.08.2009) for my H1B transfer.
What is my status now? can I transfer H1B to new company?
Is my old H1B revoked?
what is my next step to do to stay as legal immigrant?
Thanks in advance.

The suggested procedure generally is, (assuming you got stamped with Employer A while in India and you want to work with Employer B as soon as you land)
1. File a new independent petetion
2. at Port of Entry, show the I-797 of company B, so that your I-94 records the right company you intend to work.
With quota over for the year, you cannot file another H1 and follow above approach.
When quota was not an issue until 3 years ago, the above scenario worked.
Now you dont have an option because in I-129 (H1b application) form, you will be counted against the cap unless you are already in US in same status i.e on H1. Since you are not in US, you cannot avoid not being counted againts the cap.
So the only way is to come in to US with intention to work for Employer A and then look for moving to employer B

Hi,
My H1B expired on sept 2009. My employer applied for my visa extension I received my approved 797 copy, but I 94 number on my 797 and passport are not matching. To explain further, when I first entered in US in March 2007 I got I 94 (ex: 123), when I last time entered in US in April 2008 I got I94 (ex: 456) which is my latest I94 number displayed on my passport. My latest H1B extension valid till sept 2012 is showing I 94 number issued to me when I entered in 2007 (123) instead of my latest I 94 number(456) attached to my passport.
Will this be a problem? I have to sponsor my in-laws visa so please guide me how this can be handled. Any help appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
USCIS goes by what is called "last action rule". The last action was the extension issued after you came into the country, even though it has the 123 number on the I-94. So, you should be ok.

Can anyone please share info on conversion of EB3 to EB2 after applying for 485 ?. Our lawyer now suggests that they cant apply for EB2 and they have to revoke EB3 application.. Is this applicable to even apply for EB2 labor and subsequent I140. I thought we need to revoke 485 only when we are about to apply for new 485. Also, please let me know if we can apply for EB2 when you are in EAD status and has not invoked AC21. Sorry, if this question was already answered in the forum.
you can start a new LC in EB2 anytime, irrespective of whether you are in EAD, h1, AC21, in the country, outside the country, travelling in space. No restrictions...
The only risk with what you are trying to do is if you try to file EB2 for the same position for which you had earlier filed in EB3 (ie. job duties and position are the same) you can get queries from USCIS about it. Make sure this position (or job duties) are different. Search the mesage boards, this topic has been discussed earlier

I am one of the unfortunate few who could not cash in on the July/Aug 2007 opportunity to file I-485 due to my Law Firm's mistake. Here are the details of my case:
- My labor was approved June 28 2007 (EB3, Traditional, Priority date March 2005)
- I-140/I-485/EAD/AP were all filed concurrently on Aug 7, 2007 (before the Aug 17th deadline)
- My Lawfirm missed the signature on the check for the I-140 application, resulting in everything being returned
- By the time the package came back, signatures were corrected and sent back , it was well after Aug 17th.
- CIS accepted the I-140 application but rejected my I-485/EAD/AP saying that there are no Visa numbers available since it was after Aug 17th.
- My Lawfirm refiled with covering letter explaining the issue,using the Fedex receipts from the original Aug 7th filing etc..but the CIS has not accepted it.
- My Employer tried a Congressional inquiry with the CIS explaining my specific case - but that came back with same response: No visa number avialability
My Lawfirm and Employer are saying - Sorry - nothing else can be done now...
I am the one suffering because of my Law firm's mistake. Is there anything else that I can do to come out of this distress?. I would very much appreciate any inputs from people who have knowledge of similar scenarios!

Me and my spouse both work on H1B and I am applying for I-485 along with EAD/AP for both me and my spouse. My question is since my spouse is already in H1B with certain job title which was mentioned in one of the documents that was filled with i-485, when spouse uses EAD does she need to be looking for similiar jobs only?. Please clarify. Thanks in advance.

Please help me taking decision whether to take chance (& visit India) or not. will appreciate any advises especially from ppl with such recent experience. Thanks.
Will you be affected by the employer-employee memo? It is based on this memo that many of the problems are arising. Talk to your lawyer too about it.

Hi everyone,
I really need somebody's advice on what to do next. Here is some info:
Im holding F-1 Visa, currently on OPT status until 08/2011. Filed I-140 in August 2010 as EB1 extraordinary ability - athletics.
My achievements in athletics:
1. Been in sport for 10 years.
2. Member of the National team 2003-2006.
3. Member of the University team 2006-2010.
4. Many times National Champion and prize winner of my own country.
5. Participant of World Cups and hold medals of European Championships.
6. Published in local, regional and some National newspapers at home and some local newspapers here in States.
Many others to go, but those are the major ones.
Did premium processing, got Intend to Deny. Submitted more paperwork, got denial in November 2010.
All this time had a lawyer, paid a lot of money, but as you can see, it didnt quite work out. He claimed to be a professional in this field. Never got denials before.
USCIS critique:
1. Membership in the national team is not sustained from 2006, therefore it doesnt count.. (But, I was here in states all those years, couldnt travel because was in school, plus I have a letter from a President of Athletic Federation for my sport, saying that according to my results that I showed while here in States, I would be the member easily all these years). Overall, USCIS didnt find membership in the National team to be extraordinary..
2. Some national publications are too short, there has to be a huge article about me. In regional newspapers I have huge articles, but newspapers are considered not major (however, they are professional)
Out of all criteria, they only approved one - national award. Membership and publications are not meeting the criteria. I had about 250 pages of supporting documentation.
I am very upset and dont know what to do. I am afraid to hire the lawyer, because all of them say that my case is pretty good, but we already lost a lot of money for nothing. I do not want to repeat the same mistake. My Lawyer suggested appealing the decision, but it would cost me about 15,000 more and about several years o processing. I just do not have such money and time.
I have decided to reapply and need some advice on how to go about it. I will be a self petitioner, luckily there is no employer offer needed. I may hire some lawyer, but if it is not too expensive - I need the one that knows what he is doing.
I would greatly appreciate any information. Thanks.
