Dear Attorney,
Is there any minimum length of time to be on H4 before applying to H1.
Thanks
No minimum length of time, but i would wait for 90 days just to make sure that the USCIS does not say that you had an intent to change to H-1 when you entered the country and therefore you should have entered on a H-1b. Very remote possibility for them to determine that your entry into the country was based on wrongful intent. I would wait for 60 to 90 days to overcome this problem.

I have not seen this situation with anybody else on forum. Talk to good attorney, they should help you out.
RFE is time sensitive. So act fast.

My mother-in-law is on a visitor visa. She is supposed to go to india in 10 days. But she had a medical emergency and had a surgery this week. She cannot travel to india right now, as she needs rest after surgery. Can we apply visitor visa extension on medical grounds or is it safe to apply for extension on tourism/visiting grounds, Please advise.

Just in case someone might find this useful --
I had appeared for my visa stamping (9th year extension). It went fine. I'd used these forums to collect all the needed info so thanks to everyone ! I was little nervous but had no choice because my company had sent me for a business trip. At the consulate, security was very good. They even had places to leave your belongings. I saw people come in with cellphones, keys etc and they were check them in the security. Once through the security initial check ups took place where they put the needed documents in a file.
- At this point the person checking my docs marked red on the section where I had marked that my sibling was permanent resident.
- went to the first window where the officer checked for PIMS and wrote "no PIMS" (again in red) on my ds156 form. He asked couple of questions about where I work and then the finger print formality.
- waited for a while and finally I was called for the interview. The VO asked about my job, degree and what my role was at the company. I work for very large fortune 500 company and our division in Germany is well known.
- She left couple of times to check my PIMS records and finally told me that your visa will be approved and sent in 3-5 business days. That's how they do it consulates in Germany. You are not allowed to come and collect the passports.
- But, then she again checked my degree (EE) and mentioned that they may have to do some additional processing and will get back to me.
- But, she kept the passport and other docs so I was confident that it is only for PIMS verification. After 3 days I got back my passport with stamping. I provided all the answers with confidence and very legibly.
We just have to do what we have to do and leave the rest to whatever happens. I'd prepared everything before my trip in case I've go to India and get stamped (I'm getting tired of these long and stressful procedures, I was the only one with some many docs whereas others walked in with few sheets, go figure !).
Anyway, everything went well! Please let me know if any of you have questions and good luck to all. Hope none of us have to get stuck in the PIMS mess. Also, the PIMS process seems to have been cleaned up. Because of large amount of complaints looks like they are clearing it faster and providing the decision back to consulates much faster.
Adios.

Hi everyone,
I applied for my I-131, I-765 and I-485 together under EB-2 category on the 13th of September 2010. I got approval letters for both I-131 and I-765 by the 9th of November 2010. My wife and I also received our EAD cards and travel documents. But today I got another set of receipts for both I-765 and I-131 with rfe for photographs. The receipts number are different in both the previous and new receipts and the new ones are showing up in pending state on the USCIS website.
Please let me know what can be the reason I got these duplicate receipts and what should be the next steps.
Thank you all in advance,
Bathuzp

Depends on whether the role for which he is applying requires a PhD or not. Once again, consult a good lawyer.
Small addition to your post. EB1A does not require a job offer, but it needs the applicant to prove exceptional ability. EB1B (outstanding researcher or professor) and EB1C (multinational manager) do need sponsorship and a job offer.

Hi. I realized that I made a mistake when filling out the I 485 Part Three:
Processing Information. Specifically, I filled in the I-94 number issued for my H1B as the "Nonimmigration Visa Number", instead of the visa number I got when I was still in F1 Student status.
I called USCIS twice and they informed me that I can make corrections after I get the receipt--I can send in a corrected form, along with a letter explaining the correction, and also a copy of the receipt.
I was wondering whether anyone here had done that before.
I am kicking myself for misunderstanding the form! Please help!

I am in same boat - do you mean we can do ourselves or lawyer has to do it?

In the 485 filings for me and my wife, my divorce certificate for my previous marriage was put in my files but it should have been with my wife's file per 485 intruction because she is the derivative applicant. If USCIS can't find it in my wife's file, will USCIS look for it in my file since we filed together?
If this is not required as initial evidence then they will issue an RFE and then you can send the documents later.
To fix the problem, could we resubmit my wife's 485 now and withdraw the one just submitted even though we don't have the receipt for it yet? or should we wait until we get receipt for the one just submitted and then resubmit her 485 application when my PD become current again? or could we just submit the missing file after we get the receipt and my PD becomes current?
Don't resubmit your wife's application, wait for a receipt
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Hope this helps

Munna Bhai:
When you say "You need your employer's approval, without them you cannot change the attorney" Do you mean that they have to sign the new G28 forms ? Can you clarify ?
Thanks.
That will taken care in-between both the lawyers, but it is your employer who should be ready to accept this. I have one of my colleague who just requested employer and he hired new attorney and got all his papers moved.
So bottom line, employer should agree.

Hey all,
I just efiled my EAD. (first one, not renewal). Do I need to send any supporting documents?
If so which ones?
They asked about previous EADs and I had 2 of them (one main, other interim 90 day rule) for my OPT after masters. Do I need to send a copy of those?
Plz help.
You don't need to send anything - they already have your I-485 application. They will ask if they want. After few weeks of e-filing, I was called for "biometrics". They only took my picture, and that was it. On 11th week I got my EAD. Mine was same as yours: first EAD but having one prior OPT. I mentioned OPT EAD in my application.

Hi,
I just came in yesterday evening and I did not have any problems while entering the country at POE. I applied for I-485 on Aug 17th and left US on 24th. I have a valid VISA stamping till June 2008 but got a different H-1 transfer visa I-797 till jan 2010.
The officer at POE didnt ask me any single Q and he simply let me in with a new I-94 (he noted the new company name on the back of I-94 as usual).
I hope this helps you.

Is it true that my spouse (currently on H4) with pending AOS if outside US when my (principal applicant) approval comes, will not be able to use H4. Will her H4 get invalidated the moment i become a permanent resident. What happens if she boards a plane and reaches US to find that her H4 is not valid ?
Is this a valid circumstance. Has anyone been in a similar situation.
H4s better keep AP along when traveling.

Hi Guys,
As you may recall, we have had several phone meetings with Ms. Susan Henner, attorney at law. She has explained many issues and helped many of our members for free. You can see her tomorrow at 11:30AM EST on Fox News. She will be talking about an interesting immigration case.
NO, this is not a joke.
