Depends on where you are going and the route you are taking. You have to clarify transit visa issues. Many airlines will require a transit visa if you don't have the green card.

If your 140 is approved and you are applying for extension you will get 3yrs extension for your H1B if not you get only 1yr extension. So wait for one more month from now to see if you get ur 140 cleared. Pls provide more details when n where did u apply ur 140 for us to give u better suggestion, but yes you can apply H1B extension based on ur pending 140 petetion.

Currently i have my I-140 approved an that is all i know. To be honest, PD to me means "the day my I-140 was approved". Is that true??
My wife lives with me on H-4 and she will hopefully get an ITIN this year. Now, how i understand the system, i cannot file for I-485 petition until, the date of my I-140 approval becomes current. Please verify to help me understand this system. Thanks in advance.

Hello
I am working on a L1 B Blanket Visa since the past 3 years. My visa is expiring on 11/18/08 and my employer encourages me to apply for a fresh petition from India rather than apply for an extension here due to the no. of cases denied. My wife is presently employed through EAD which expires the same date.
Is there any way that she can retain her employment while we both get our VISA stamped a month before my current VISA expiry date from India ? She might not get 2 months leave without pay which is the usual processing time for a re-extension of EAD considering we both arrive in US after getting a new VISA in the first week of November 2008. Please advise.
I don't see the gain. Although a fresh L petition has better chance of approval, you still have to get a visa approved, which may get rejected.
Given your wife's situation of EAD, you are better off applying for an extension here. They will not reject an application as long it meets all the requirements.

The 260k�
God knows or who knows why the fluke in the numbers and a lot hurt but not to forget certain services made the big bucks. On an average 65k/year non-Immigrant VISAS are issued by immigration services. The Dept. of State claims that 60k immigrant VISA numbers exhausted by June 29, 07. The total number of applicants in the rat race should sum up to at least 260k as on June07.
Numbers do the math...
The June07 bulletin priority dates for India trace back to EB3-June03 & EB2-April04. At the same time about combined ~65k*4(June03-June07) = 260k were looking forward to get ahead in the rat race. Assume that 70% of 260k i.e. 182k had approved labors/substitution labor. The 182k caused to exhaust the 60k available immigrant VISAS then still about 102k are left in the air as non-immigrant alien workers.
The suck-more theory�
Since, the bulletin was issued on June 13, 07 (13 = dooms day) ~102k rushed to local stores like Sears, Walgreen, CVS for 2�� * 2 �� passport size photographs. The non-immigrant alien workers spent around 182k* ~$60 = $10.9mil for 6 passport size photographs. This explains why Walgreen (WALG) which was trailing at $43.xx on NASDAQ in May07 shot up to $45 in June07 and suddenly tumbled down to $43.xx after the revised bulletin. Certified civil surgeons to perform medical examination pocketed medical history�s best earnings in a span of 2 weeks raking revenues of about 182k* ~$275 = ~$50mil. NASDAQ touched years best @2650 in June07. Immigration lawyers charge about $1500 for I140 petition. Market rates for immigrant 485 petition is about $1400 for principal applicant and extra $750 for each dependent. Assuming that the average spending of 182k(singles, married, 2/3dependent applicants) amounted to $2000 for I140 and $2000 for I485 this totals to about 182k*$4000 = guess what!! $728mil. This means that there should be tremendous sales of Bentleys, Porsches, Lexus, Audis, BMWs this year. Projected sales of luxury cars should touch around $500mil for luxury cars alone in Q3. Till the next Oct07 bulletin keep the retro-guess-on for numbers.
Thanks and good luck!!

Gurus,
Have you heard of eVerify? Anybody can explain what it is?
My H1 expired 6 months ago and my current EAD expires October 20th. I filed for renewal application on July01 and am a little concerned that I will not get my new one within the 90 day window.
I called USCIS and a Customer Service rep mentioned that I do not need an EAD to legally work as long as I am on AOS.
She also mentioned that as long as I have a valid Driver's License and a valid Social Security Number, I am fine and that I do not need a EAD.
Is this true? Has anyone else heard about / used this policy?
Your response is much appreciated.
Thank You.

I have heard this before on other forums , too.
I believe, the USCIS CSR confused "unrestricted" SSN with a "restricted" SSN. Most people on some kind of work permit (F1,H1B, EAD) have "Eligible to work with DHS authorization" ( or something similar ) imprinted on their Social Security card ( it certainly is in my social ), and I believe people with GC/USC don't have any such thing written on their SSN ( it's purely a guess by me, I'm yet to see a GC/USC holders SS card ;) ) . So, I don't think people on work permit can work just with DL and SS card ( if they could , why would they have not done until now :confused: ? ) .
But, on the other hand, I'd like to know, if people can continue working on the EAD receipt itself ??

I am currently working for a company at Chicago,IL on OPT (Optional Practical Training) period which is of one year. I have graduated as Electical Engineer from NJIT,NJ this year and is authorized to work during the OPT. Unfortunately the OPT is ending on 11th February, 2007.
I applied for H1B through the same company at Chicago but missed it as the CAP was closed by 28th August, 2006. Hence, I am currently working on the OPT work authorization.
I am aware that I will be out of status after February 11th at the end of my OPT tenure. I am planning to re-apply for H1 with the same company again well in time next year. As I will be out of status until I get my H1B application accepted and approved possibly by October'07, what are the best options available for me to legally stay here in USA with a valid status during the period until October 2007. Time is short and I needed to work out some thing quick.
I shall be grateful to any one who could send in your valuable advise.

I know this is irrelevant in a way but see it from a different angle for one moment. There is no other forum where you can get any information about these H1 employers who are playing games using retrogression. This is the only forum where most of the people on H1 are related to some desi consulting company and can share their experiences which would help other people who are in huge pain due to the unfair practices of their existing employers.
I would recommend the administrators to create a separate area on this forum where people can share these experiences and find genuine employers.
Not in this forum I would argue. There are other places.

I thought I would post on how I resolved my expired I-94 issue today. Could be of help to someone.
I have an I797 and corresponding H1-B visa valid until March 31st 2011.
When I last came into the US on Dec 31st 2009, the immigration officer stamped the I-94 valid until date as March 30th 2010. Essentially giving me only three months of stay.
I did not notice the problem (coming in after a long flight and being jet lagged didn't help) until yesterday when my attorney was going through my documents for some other purpose. As of yesterday I had been out of status for over 3months.
We called the CBP office at Pittsburgh Airport (where i reside) and explained the situation to them. They asked my visa validity date and passport validity date on the phone. After which I was asked to go the the CBP office and get it corrected.
Today morning I headed over there and was met with the most friendly immigration officers I have ever met. Pittsburgh rocks in that. When he heard my case, he asked me if I had presented my latest I-797 to the officer at the time of stamping. When I replied yes, he said it did not make sense why the officer stamped the date he did. He asked to see my passport and I-797 and in 10 minutes told me he would be issuing me a new I-94 with the correct stamped date as March 31st 2011.
Afterwards he mentioned that it was expired and I was lucky because some other officer could have asked me to do a reinstatement (something that apparently costs a lot of money and a lot more trouble according to him)
In my case it was a genuine mistake on the immigration officer's part, since all my documents at the time of the samping indicated a later date. IMO that was the critical factor.
However, as he advised, please be extra sure before you step away from the counter at port of entry, that all your stamps are correct.
Good luck for anyone facing this problem, if you have the valid documents the officers are most probably going to correct the mistake and not give you a hard time about it.:)

Those of you planning to reach the 485/EAD "heaven". Please have a look at this
link suggesting you apply for EAD 6 months in advance.
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=1847c9ee2f82b010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=1847c9ee2f82b010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD
Apply too early and you are screwed by an early approval that will render your EAD valid for just 6 months(my last 2 were approved within 2 weeks). Apply too late and risk unauthorised work and or having to get fired/stay off the job.
All this just weeks after they removed the ability to get an emergency 90 day EAD at the local field offices if they delayed more than 90 days.
The USCIS is getting very mean with those of us waiting in the legal queue in my view. A lot is going on behind the scenes, I hope we are not all made scapegoats of dumb policy in the end.
