Hi,
I hope most of our members are writing/meeting their congressmen regarding our issues (thru state chapters etc.). Since CIR is about to be discussed in the Senate is it worthwhile to send a petition to all judiciary committee members? Maybe we can use one of those onlinepetition websites and encourage all members to virutal sign it. A petiton with a large number of signature might have a favorable response rather than an individual writing to a local congressman (I always get a standard one page response even though I change text and highlight one aspect of our issues). What is your opinion on this exercize - is it useful?
Ofcourse meeting the lawmakers thru state chapter is the best and members can continue to do that. The above is a complimentary action (and which need members to sign a petition).

An expert advice on this would be highly appreciated. Many thanks for your consideration.
- My H1 (I-94) is expiring on 1st week of Jun-2011.
- I am also actively looking to change my employer.
In this case, I am not able to decide on the following,
1. Can I go ahead and file H1 extension with my current employer 'A'?
2. If I happen to get another employer 'B' for H1 transfer, what are the implications if 'A' had already initiated the extension process?
I am very confused on whether to go ahead with my H1 extension. Any quick answer would be highly appreciated, as I am taking my decision (on applying for extension) based on this.
Thanks,
srikanth.

Hi,
I am quite frustrated with my present situation. Here's my sad story:
I came to US on L1B Visa through company A. In 2010 Company B filed for my H1B. They asked me to pay half of the H1B filing money ($1500) which will be returned later. They sent me a document mentioning that as a training cost which I signed and paid them online $1500. I shouldn't have done this. My mistake. I was never given any training and money was not returned. :(
Company B also verbally committed to me that they'll be paying me roughly 80% of the client project contract amount which they will be getting from the client. They asked me to sigh the contract document with them which mentioned my salary way to less than expected. When I asked why the salary is mentioned too less here, they mentioned that don't worry about it. It is done to keep the agreement same as LCA filled. And I'll be getting what I was promised. the contract document also mentioned that if i leave the company within 1 year, I'll be paying liquidity damages to the company. This was big trap which I didn't understand that time and signed the document. This was my 2nd biggest mistake. :(
Now for last 5 months they are paying me at very lower rate (what was in the contract which is roughly 50% of client project contract amount). I called them on phone and they mentioned that they'll eventually release my salaries but they never released. I sent many emails that this is not what I should be getting as per the commitment given but they never replied to my emails. I mentioned in the emails cleary that what I should be getting. So now they haven't paid me almost $8,000 in last 5 months.
I am planning to quit the company B and join company C.
Here are my questions:
1) Is there any way I can complain legally about Company B and get my money? I have sent many emails that mentions what I should be getting. Does emails can be used in this case?
2) If I leave the company B and join company C. Can they drag me to the court to pay for liquidity damages since I left them within 1 year?
I moved to H1B thinking that I would have a better life but it has become way more worse. Please advise me what are the best suggestions for me in this situation. Thanks a lot. :)
Please help me !!
Regards.
Hrithik.

Hello
I went through the same and it was fairly easy and not stressing.. you have to have copies of your passport ( the persons applying for extension and copies of the return tickets of the flights back home, you need a form : I-539 and fill it up, print it and send it with all the documentation they require, it would be advisable to have a sponsor or a person who certifies that will be financially in care of her expenses. ( forgot the form number but i think is I-139 ..please check ) and once you got all those requirements send them with 300 $ that costs the application process and in less then 4 weeks you will get a letter with either the aproval or the denial of the stay. If your I-94 expires while you wait for the form do not worry cause you are not going into illegal state while the USICIS is processing your application. GOOD LUCK !! and enjoy your ceremony !!

The only difference is if you work for the univ on a cap exempt H1b and than transfer to industry on a cap H1b then you would have to go through the lottery or masters quoto whatever applies...however there is a loophole in this and I have read somewhere that when you apply for a transfer for a cap exempt to cap subject USCIS have goofed up and let it go through

I would appreciate any and all advice that anyone can provide:
My green card was sponsored by my husband, who has a GC. I was travelling out of the country on advance parole, when my passport got stolen, and I had to return to my original country to get a new passport issued, this took some months, during which, my advance parole to travel document expired. SO I could not enter the US. Then, a couple of weeks later, my green card approval, I485 was approved and a notice sent to me in the US. This was in June 2006. Since then, I have not received any other letter/notice, or the GC itself, and I am still stuck outside the US, without my husband. My lawyer is not doing naything about it, and I dont know what I can do?? I have tried contacting the 1800 number, and they say they put in service requests for me, but I have still not received any new information from that end as well, and each time, I have to wait 45 days before they can put in a new service request.
Help!!
Please advise, as it has been so long, and I am still stuck outside the US without my husband.
Any and ALL advice is most welcome

Nothing stops you from changing your employer and submitting another H1 "transfer" with a transfer pending. This is called an anchor transfer. But beware that if the pending transfer is withdrawn by your former employer then USCIS will deny the newer transfer. I read about that somewhere but I don't have the link right now.

I'm going to Canada on vacation for 2 days. I've read that if yr I-94 is valid and even if yr visa is expired you can return to US (thru automcatic revalidation)
till
1. you have not applied for US visa in Canada
2. you dont belong to a country declared as sponsoring terrorism.
My question is if you surrender yr I-94 to a Canadian inspector while crossing in to Canada, what do you show US immigration people while coming back? Do they stamp something etc? Has anyone gone thru this or knows abt this?
Thanks

My mother-in-law also has plans to apply visitor visa. She is also a widower.

As the H1B season (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) still in full force, we would like to share this great tip from AILA. This post discuss where to file H-1B extensions for beneficiaries working for petitioners, which are not cap exempt, but who are "employed at" cap exempt facilities.
The VSC (Vermont Service Center) refers to the September 10, 2009, USCIS Guidance regarding the direct filing address for I-129 petitions, noting that H-1B employers filing petitions which are cap exempt must file such petitions exclusively with the California Service Center.
VSC notes that in this instance, the term "cap exempt" refers only to those petitioners who are exempt from the numerical limitations identified in 8 CFR 214.2 (h)(8)(i)(A). "Cap exempt" petitioners are those described in 8 CFR 214.2(h)(19)(iii), and include:
* Institutions of higher education as defined in section 101(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, 20 U.S.C. 1001(a);
* Nonprofit organizations or entities connected or associated with institutions of higher education, as described in 8 CFR 214.2(h)(19)(iii)(B);
* Nonprofit research organizations or governmental research organizations as defined in 8 CFR 214.2(h)(19)(iii)(C); and
* Petitioners who otherwise would not be "cap exempt," but will be employing the beneficiary to perform job duties at a qualifying cap exempt institution, provided that the beneficiary's duties will directly or predominantly further the normal, primary, or essential purpose, mission, objectives or function of the qualifying cap exempt institution.
All petitions for individuals "employed at" cap exempt facilities will be rejected by the VSC, even if the beneficiary is working for a petitioner which is not cap exempt. So this is a major point to keep in mind.

Hi All,
Firstly, thanks to all my friends and Mods for the help/suggestions given in past.
Please guide in the following situation. My sister is on F1 visa. She went to India taking a semester break. This is her second Masters degree. She initially came on F1 and finished MBA and worked on OPT for 1 year and again joined second Masters and during which she took a semester break and went to India. Her husband is on H1 visa. She wants to apply for H4 visa. What is the procedure? She wants to discontinue her study after she applies for H4. Is this possible? Her next semester starts from June. Is it possible for her to get H4 before June if she applies now(while in India or after coming back) and then discontinue her master from then on? What documents would she need from her husband(pertaining the job) to apply for h4?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance...
