IV is not for any particular nationals. While ROW is also affected because of retrogression, India and China are severely affected and there is hardly any movement in EB2/3 for India. The hard country limits in EB system and inability to capture unused visa numbers are just 2 of the many reasons responsible for retrogression. These forums have been misused by some people to advertise about their firm. May be the other member skimmed through the post and considered it a similar ad. OP has given a fitting response. Welcome to IV.

If your company is paying why not go to India. If you have all the necessary paperwork, proper letters and your company is willing to provide any other documents like tax returns etc if needed stamping in India would be easier (they always prefer you go to your home country I guess its easier for them to evaluate and process your case) that being said I have had my H1 stamping done in Canada (because the company that I worked for didn't want me to be away from work more than a week), I had two done in India (both were a breeze) I have never been to Mexico for stamping so
dont know
Good luck!

I'm sure you've a valid reason..just could not resist the post.
True...actually I was also thinking about it. But one needs to be wary. A lot of
anti-EB reform people look at these bills and in order to find out the status...post messages in IV and then decide on strategy of whether to call lawmakers.

Let me answer:
During your application for naturalization, USCIS will look at your old files and see if you work for the new employer (if AC21 is used) after getting the GC.
If you didn't send a Memo, then in the USCIS file, it will show the original petitioner as your employer.
If you send a Memo, then in USCIS file, it will show the new employer using AC21 as your employer.
What is the difference? USCIS will ask for proof on your naturalization application that you work for the employer (that is in their file) right after getting the GC.
If in USCIS file it shows the original petitioner and not the AC21 employer, then you cannot prove that you work for the original employer after getting the GC.
If in USCIS file it shows the AC21 employer, then you can prove that you work for the AC21 employer after getting the GC.
Remember that you must work for the employer for 180 days after getting the GC. The word "employer" means whatever is in USCIS file.

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the bipartisan compromise reached late last week is imperfect but a starting point for debate."
Everybody agrees that this needs amendments. So, why oppose it and not amend it?
Let us get our points accross and get our amendments. When the lawmakers have decided to fix the immigration system then they will have to address both legal/illegal.

My husband is the primary applicant for our GC application and he's on bench since Feb 2009. We have valid EAD and AP's. We are planning to travel using our AP for a 3 week visit to India.
Our question....Is it sensible to travel on AP him being unemployed?
my friend went to India for 4 month Vacation.
1. while returing at JFK POE .. He was asked if he got paid on that 4 month Vacation. My friend said. "NO" and the POE Officer asked , if he had still Job with sponsering Employer , and this guy showed the recent EVL letter which he got from his employer .....just make sure to you have all docuementation ,a letter from Employer stating still your husband employed with that company
As long as you prepared tos how required papers ..no issues

Can I change the employer after I get my 3 year extension on H1 ?
The 3 year extension of h1 also allows portability - so emp change is ok.
2) If I change the employer and If I transfer my H1, Will I get 3 years on my H1 based on 140 approval?
Yes - gc is a future job offer - ur previous 140 can be used for h1 status extensions
3) After switching to new employer, if I start the GC process all over again, can I keep my old priority date?
Yes - once u have an approved 140 ur pd can be ported to any new gc applications
4) I heard Gc process should be filed before expiry of 5th yr on H1 b, if i change my employer can i file for GC process in 6th yr and get furthur extension ?
there is no such requirement - i guess ur asking if u start the gc thru new emp in 6th year can u get extn? in this case u can use the old 140 approval and request 3 year extn, or if u get the new approval use that instead

i think, not sure, if you are in US then for renewal in same visa category (or) to transfer from one visa category to another (like F to H visa, etc.), you can goto canada or mexico or india for visa revalidation.
But for new first time H1 visa, i think you should get it from india based on your home state jurisdication. you can check immigrationportal.com regd this there might be threads related to this...

Hi Guys,

My previous H-1B expired on 06/17 and I applied my AOS on July 2nd. After I sent the AOS, I got my H-1B approved for 3 years. My lawyer told me that they will have to send it in the future if there is an RFE.

New OPT rule says that you should not be unemployed for more than 90 days on OPT. Since you are on OPT, you are not out of status. You need to find a new job ASAP.
If your H1 was approved, do you have the receipt number? Since its already counted against the cap, and if your employer does not cancel it, then you can technically transfer it to another employer. Talk to your employer about this.
You will need approved petition or receipt number to transfer H1.
As such you do not need H1 due to new rule on OPT, however; you need to check if the H1 was applied for change of status? If it is a change of status application, you need to probably inform USCIS that you will not be changing status to H1.

Normally the consulate in Canada or Mexico will only entertain an application if the person graduated from a school in the US. The reason being that they can verify the genuineness of the education which is not possible in a situation where the person went to a school in a different country. But if you are already in the US in H-1B status and have a H-1B visa in the passport then you have a better chance of getting a visa.

Hi All,
I have got fingerprint notice and appointment is after 3 weeks in Charlotte NC. I will not be available on that day and do not want to postpone the appointment.
I would like to prepone the appointment and I tried to find Charlotte USCIS local phone number but could not find anywhere. The only number is general 800 number and that was of no use.
Does anyone have any experience with Charlotte office? Can I just go there and will they do fingerprint any day before actual appointment? Charlotte is around 4 hours drive. It will be painful to drive there and find that they don't do fingerprint before appointment day. What day is normally good if I want to take the chance? Have anyone actually called them and prepone the appointment? What is the local office phone number?
These are two many questions. But all are related. Sorry for being so long and thanks in advance for your response...
rangeela....
Not sure if you can prepone. Call the customer service and check if they can schedule sooner. I think, given the July fiasco/rush, they schedule based on the availabilty of appointment in local office.
Also can you please share you reciept date/notice date and when you received your FP appointment. Was your case directly sent to TSC or got trasnferred to TSC from other center.

Thanks for quick reply. I know that company can rent out but I am just betting for 1 year. That would give me some boost to pay part of mortgage. Later I would even manage on my own.
