Because you have already been counted in the H-1 quota for FY 2008, you should be able to file for a change of status to H-1 without again being subject to the quota and should not have to wait.

Hi
My wife is on H4 visa.She got an offer from Non profit organization and they are ready to do H1B.As it is Non profit Organization is that correct she can start working as soon as H1B is approved.
Is it possible to Transfer H1b in future to regular company if H1B quota exists.
Are there any restrictions involved.
Can any one please shed some light for me.

Dear Friends
I have a friend who is currently on H1B, currently on vacation in home-country, and stuck in PIMS verification.
1. he has H1B from current employer (valid till 2009) - Employer1.
2. another H1B from previous employer - Employer2. Previous employer ready to hire him again.
3. His spouse filed for his GC and his EAD, AP has already been received. Spouse has approved PERM, pending i140 and pending AOS.
He came on H4, converted to H1B (with Employer2), then switched to Employer1. Then went on vacation, and appeared for H1 re-stamping interview with i797, documents provided by current employer (Employer1).
Now he is stuck in PIMS verification, and the current employer want him to join asap and threatening to terminate her employment.
Assuming that current employer does not revoke H1B, but terminates him, can you help answer following doubts -
[A] validity of such a stamp on passport -
Q1. Will the visa stamp (with current employer) be vaild?
Q2. Previous employer hasn't revoked the H-1B, will that still be usable for jobs, re-entry?
[B] Re-entry
Q3. Inspite of termination, can the stamp and i797 of the current employer valid for re-entry?
Q4. Should he rather use i797 of the previous employer + passport (with stamp of current employer) for re-entry? Previous employer can provide offer letter and job description etc.? Is this route valid and will they allow re-entry on this?
Q5. Though he wants to continue on H-1B, but if his current situation may result in violation of any provisions, should he rather use Advance parole to re-enter?
THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE FOR ALL YOUR RESPONSES!!!!

I am not sure i understood your question. Is it H1B interview date or H1B stamping. In case of H1B stamping, the dates are normally booked but keep checking vhs..... website and you may find a slot. I used to check everyday and after a month i saw few slots available on december. However, the consulate answers to emails promptly and i was once told that for H1B stamping can be done if notified 14 days in advance.

Recently an undated USCIS draft memorandum surfaced. The Memo was offering administrative relief options to promote family unity, foster economic growth, achieve significant process improvements, and reduce the threat of removal for certain individuals present in the United States without authorization. Here is the entire memo for our readers to view:
Undated Internal USCIS Draft Memorandum Discusses Administrative Alternatives to CIR (http://www.slideshare.net/usvisalaw/undated-internal-uscis-draft-memorandum-discusses-administrative-alternatives-to-cir)View more documents (http://www.slideshare.net/) from usvisalaw (http://www.slideshare.net/usvisalaw).
Shortly after the memo leaked to the public the Immigration service had this to say:
�Internal draft memos do not and should not be equated with official action or policy of the Department. We will not comment on notional, pre-decisional memos. As a matter of good government, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will discuss just about every issue that comes within the purview of the immigration system. We continue to maintain that comprehensive bipartisan legislation, coupled with smart, effective enforcement, is the only solution to our nation's immigration challenges. Internal memoranda help us do the thinking that leads to important changes; some of them are adopted and others are rejected. Our goal is to implement policies wisely and well to strengthen all aspects of our mission. The choices we have made so far have strengthened both the enforcement and services sides of USCIS � nobody should mistake deliberation and exchange of ideas for final decisions. To be clear, DHS will not grant deferred action or humanitarian parole to the nation�s entire illegal immigrant population.�
What can we learn from all this? Comprehensive immigration reform may not happen in the near future, but some sort of a step by step change is likely to occur sooner than later. Even USCIS is eager for this to happen, expect more "leaks" coming up.

My wife has recently converted her H4 to F1 by applying for COS through I-539. We are yet to receive the approval notice by mail, but we have confirmed online through USCIS that its been approved.
The question is - at what date would she be deemed to be on F1, is it from the date of the F1 approval notice or is it the start date mentioned on I-20.
What is normally seen as the start date? Can some one who is on F1 respond ?
Thanks for your responses

The law does not allow for this. One can only transfer employment-based pd to employment based priority date. One can't transfer family based PD to employment based PD and vice versa.

Hi,
I was on regular H1B for three years until mid 2008 when I changed to H4 status. Now, if I want to work for a non-profit organization, does the org have to just transfer the original H1B or file a new non-profit petition. If it is the latter (new petition) what happens to my original H1 approval? If I want to go back to the for-profit world do I need to apply for a new H1 or will my original H1 validity continue??
Thanks
AFP
You can apply for change of status (COS) from H4 to H1 at any time of the year, if your employer is cap exempt (non-profit) and you have not completed 6 years of maximum stay on H1B/L1. You will not be counted again in cap, so you can return to for-profit employer at any time provided you have not completed 6 years of maximum stay in H1/L1. In order to stay on H1 beyond 6 years, you need to have a labor pending for more than 365 days or 140 approved.
Hope this helps and please fill your profile

You want to bring him and file I130 ?
If he marry a US citizen, she can file his I-130 eventhough he is out of status.
(If the entry into USA is legal and out of status later, can adjust, if filed by spouse)
For parent , brother/sister filing, I don't know and I don't think it is possible.
Hi
My brother got a B1/B2 multi-entry visa for 2 years. My mother is a green card holder and my brother didn't want her to submit an I-130 on his behalf since she became a US resident. The reason was because one of the questions that the embassy asks when you apply to get a visa to enter the US is weather a relative submitted an I-130 on your behalf or not. If yes then the embassy thinks of you as you want to enter the US and remain there until ur I-130 is approved and a visa number is available.. my question is since my borther got his visa, will it be ok for my mother to submit an I-130 on his behalf now without having the embassy rejecting him B1/B2 visa in the future(that is after his current B1/B2 visa expire in 2 years ????
Another question if a person is in the US and out of status, can a relative submit an I-130 on his behalf and if yes how good is his chance to adjust his status when the I-130 is approved in the future??
Thank you very much

The bottom of the "Receipting & Lockbox" update clearly says that it may take upto 14 days to get physical receipt or Checks cashed for the dates they say Current. Which means July 2nd 485 apps are declared Current on Aug 17th , so the receipts can come as late as Aug31st i.e after Labor day weekend Sep 4th.

its common belief that you need to work for 6 months.
There is no immediate problem if you don't but looks bad on citizenship time.

Things you mentioned are not in you control so it would be OK. But if you leave on your own then may be a problem....

My cousin has I-20's from Universities A and B.he got F1 Visa with University A's I-20.
He is in India and he wants to go to University B.
Could anybody tell if he can directly go to University B and complete the transfer process from there? or does he need to go to University A, complete the transfer process and then go to University B?
does it create any problems at Port of Entry ?
PS: I have not started GC process yet. So, I didn't update my profile.
I believe you coud've done that before the introduction of the SEVIS system. Now you will have to first report to the university that you got the visa for, and then fill out a new SEVIS form and then change to another university.
