Hi there
I am currently working on F1-OPT with company A. Company A filed for my
H1B visa and it got approved, which is yet to start from Oct 2010. But now I
got an offer from Company B. I have to get my H1 transferred to company B.
I have informed my current employer(Company A) about this transfer.
But actually they(company A) are planning to withdraw my H1B visa petition
from USCIS as I will not be working with them from Oct 2010.
I would like to know if this will affect my visa transfer.
Can someone please let me know how it works and suggest me what should I do
to get my transfer done?
Thank you so much for the help

I should say, compared to H1B, the risks of benching on EAD are far lower.
But I guess there is nothing concrete to prove that you are ok without pay if you work on EAD... so it's always good that your employer pay at least the labor wage if possible.

Below is what I think to your three case scenario:
Case 1: According to the USCIS's rule of last action, whichever petition or application came out last is your new non-immigrant status. So if your H1b transfer gets approved first and then your H-1B -> F1 gets approved, you are in F-1, or vice versa. But then if your first H1B has already expired before you turn in your F-1 application, it gets a little complicated. In that case, the F-1 application cannot be approved before the H1B transfer is approved.
case 2: If your first H1B is still valid, then it is ok if your H1B transfer is denied. If your first H1B is expired already before your submit your F-1 application, and your H1B transfer gets denied, you could be out of status.
case 3: If your H1B transfer is approved, and F-1 application is denied, you are still in H1B.
There is an article discussing authorized stay and authorized status which relates to your questions: Differences Between “Authorized Status” and “Authorized Stay” (http://www.us-immigrationvisa.com/article/differences-between-authorized-status-and-authorized-stay)

Finally i went for option 2 i.e. Costco, they gave 2 2x2 photo's for $4.99 plus $2.99 for softcopy.
I could have saved $2.99 by scanning the photo's with scanner.
Anyways, its done now ..

My case was approved by BEC on July 18. My attorney says that my 140 has to be filed by July 31 to be eligible to file under July visa bulletin [by 17th August]
Is his interpretation correct?
I can not do concurrent for a few more days, until my family returns from India.
If I go with 140 now, I am afraid the 140 receipt may not arrive in time for me to file for 485.
e-file your i-140, then you have 7 business days to send in your supporting documents (receipt notice is generated immediately from your printer). I-485 can be filed before August 17

The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) strongly urges Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to veto a bill moving rapidly through the state legislature that would make it a crime to be an undocumented immigrant in the state.
In addition to the absurdity of aligning undocumented status with state trespassing, the law also validates racial profiling as a legitimate law enforcement tool which is precisely the reason why individuals and businesses around the country are beginning to seriously question whether Arizona is a safe place to visit, live, or do business.
The bill also creates a private right of action for any person to sue a city, town, or county for not enforcing immigration laws to the full extent of federal law and it establishes civil penalties for the city, town, or county. This subjects local governments to unreasonable and potentially frivolous litigation by private citizens with an anti-immigrant agenda. Even if a municipality is vindicated in court, it will still have to incur the costs of defense.
The problems with this bill are monumental and the consequences will be devastating to the citizens of Arizona and the state's already fragile economy. At last glance, Arizona was in the throes of a massive budgetary crisis. Arizona's economy simply cannot afford to absorb the costly litigation that this ill-conceived legislation will certainly produce. Moreover it sets a bad example for other states to pass similar bills. Already other states like Ohio and Utah are entertaining similar legislation. Immigration is the domain of the federal government and it is a huge mistake for states to be involved.

Hi All,
I have a strange issue, paining me since I have joined this new company, ( I am using AC21, since I am on EAD and AC21 is not yet filed). I am one of those unlucky fellows with really long name(First Name) stuck on my passport, and I have been using this all along, as my legal name while applying for visa/485 related activities. However, I go by the last part of the First Name and so all my other records here (like DL, SSN card, Bank Accounts, 401K account, etc) have got the last part of the First Name as my first name.My H1-B visa had the complete first name printed on it, and so I have been thinking, people could see that the name I have been using is in the last part of the complete First Name on the Visa and Passport.
However, in the EAD card, the name got cut(or incomplete) as the entire first name could not be printed on it. When I showed this to the new employer, they are using the name as displayed on the EAD card(which is not what I go by) in all the accounts they are establishing, like Paycheck, 401K info, ESPP etc.
Now I am in a soup, I have requested them to use the last part of the first name, which they are chcking with their immigration lawyers. But in the meanwhile, I want to know, does any one has this kind of problem. What should we do if the name is incomplete on the printed EAD card? (Ofcourse once I get GC, I would rather change this damn name)
Any one has any ideas?
Thanks

Greeting everybody: I have been working for the same Company since 2002 first J1 then 6 years of H1-B expiring on July of this year (2009). Currently my employer is going thru the process for a Green Card with our Legal Firm and they proposed me an E Visa while the Green Card approval process is work in progress (I passed the DOL approval and I'm in the middle of the recruiting phase). I'd like to get a third party opinion if I can be granted a Green Card switching from H1-B to E Visa.
Anyone familiar with this matter?

Yes you would need a transit visa. In fact in Air India (not sure about other airlines) without transit visa you cannot even board the plane from US
The above is not completely true, pls read the part below the blue para which says "you are exempt if" (may help some cases)

[Also available in Persian (http://iipdigital.usembassy.gov/st/persian/texttrans/2011/05/20110520163510x0.3954693.html)]
As of May 20, 2011, qualified Iranian applicants for visas in the F, J, and M categories for non-sensitive, non-technical fields of study and research and their dependents will be eligible to receive two-year, multiple-entry visas. This is an increase in the current visa validity of three months, single entry.
This change will allow Iranian students and exchange visitors to travel more easily, furthering our goal of promoting the free flow of information and ideas. This important decision is being taken as the global community witnesses the Iranian Government�s increasing censorship and isolation of its own people.
Iranians currently in the United States on a three-month, single-entry visa in one of these categories must reapply outside the United States at a consular post in order to obtain two-year, multiple-entry visas. Keep in mind that the validity of a visa refers to the time period the visa holder has to enter the U.S. It has no bearing on the length of stay permitted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials at the port of entry. Iranian students and exchange visitors in good standing in the United States do not need to apply for a new visa until after they depart the United States.

I think
- For Perm and subsequently I-140, you can only specify employers that are directly relevant to the number of years of experience claimed in labor. The details of the petitioning employer are most relevant and all your past employments should add up to the experience required
- However, for I-485, which is your application, you have to specify all the employments that you filed taxes for and from whom you received your paystubs (primary/secondary).

If you have receipt # of your I-485, filing or refiling I-765 and I-131 is a simple task. You can do that after 30 days, as suggested by USCIS. It is not a big loss anyway. Main thing is I-485.
