Hi,
I have been in US for last 2 years on L1 B and my L1 expires in Dec 09.I My company has already applied for renewal. I wanted to know is it possible to file Green Card, once my petition is renewed, on my own even if employer is not interested in doing it. I am ready to pay my expenses and get it filed. Just wanted to know if it is possible. I have been with my employer for 4 years.
Regards,
AD
All Employment Based green cards must be filed/sponsored by an employer.
You cannot file by yourself.

All,
NetIP Bay Area has FINALLY put our link on their webpage
See http://www.netip-sfba.org/ They haven't capitalized the v in Voice etc, but it is a step in the right direction.
We are also participating in a seminar organized by them. The speakers will be an immigration attorney and IV representatives.
Saturday, April 15 , 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm
TiE Silicon Valley, 2903 Bunker Hill Lane,
Santa Clara, CA 95054
Of course, we are not sure what the immigration landscape will be like at that date. We are still working on an agenda etc. will keep you posted.

dude.. that attitude might not help you on a public forum where people offer help/suggestions for free... and c'mon, this isn't your english class.. so I guess if you can understand 'ur' is 'your'.. you can get over it.
coming to your point, I see no reason why you can't... only catch is, if you have already used up your 6 years of h1, then the new h1 time is in excess of 6 years, which will be approved for 3 years only if your AOS is pending and your 140 is approved.
pal :)
EDIT: btw, why don't you please update your profile, so it helps IV track uscis behavior.

Hi ,
I want to change my wife's H1 to H4.
She got her first approval in oct 2006 and was working as fulltime. after that she coverted to H4 when we visited india. her H4 is valid through oct'09. then we file for her new H1 from company B in march 09 (COS) and she got approval but due to bad market condition she never got project and her consulting company never paid her so she doesn't have any paystubs. My company file for my H1B extension and I got approval.
Now I want to change my wife's status back to h4. I had in impression that she never worked on new H1 so her H1 will not be activated. but I came across some posts and learn that it is automatically activated the day she got her H1B approval.
Now please suggest me what would be the safest way to convert her back on H4 ?
1)File form I-539 without her paystubs using my new 797 document? is there chances of RFE without paystubs? and what could be the next step if RFE comes? can we go to home country and get it done or it will make more complications? and VO will ask more questions because of RFE?
2) go out of county and come back again on existing stammped h4 (I am hoping that will convert her status back to H4)? and then file for I-539 for H4 extension using my new Approval notice? she has canadian PR as well. should she visit canada or india? somehow her I94 on passport has expired in Feb'09 but she has valid I94 on her H1 pitition. should she give her new I94 when going out of country? if she visits canada will they issue her new I94 if she returns back within 30 days?
3) should she go outside country and apply for new H4 using my new approved 797 ?
Please help me ASAP. I am really confused what should I do!!!

I have already sent my 485 application
1-140 cleared
In the field I94# and expiration I entered I 94 number which is on the white card on the passport and it is the same as the number on my renewed h1 papers.However I entered expiry date from the i94 on the passport,which is oct06 instead of the 010 date in the renewal.
will that be a problem..? CAN I CORRECT IT AFTER I get the reciept no or will thay be able to verify with the latest h1 paper that i94 is valid

My Case as of March 2010:
EB3 (India) applied with company A. PD: June 2004.
Labor approved, I-140 approved.
No EAD. Labor was not approved when EB3 dates became current
First issue of H1B March 2003
Currently have a 3 year H1B extension (beyond 6 years) due to run out in Nov 2011.
My Questions:
1. I am still working with Company A. Can I move to Company B, i.e. will I be able to transfer my H1B, which is now in its 8th year? If yes, will the transfer be valid till Nov 2011?
2. If I can move to Company B, do I have to file for a new GC right away? If not, by when?
3. Can this new GC be EB2 with the hope of porting the PD from my EB3 case from Company A? If yes, what is the criteria for such a port?
4. Anything else I should keep in mind if I can and do decide to switch to Company B?
All your help is greatly appreciated!! I have been sitting and just waiting for my EB3 to get current, which does not seem like a possibility now. Hoping that I can use an EB2 case.
Thanks a lot for your time to take a look at my case.

For filing of I485, do I need to file for my dependent child who is an US citizen (age :1 year+)? Also does my child need to go through the medical exam and be part of the I485 application even though she is a citizen?
Sometimes it becomes confusing and some guidance from our IV folks is really appreciated.

Hi,
1. I do not know.
2. Once your approval comes through, it will just be a regular H1-B transfer, so you should be able to carry the remaining of the 3 years on the H1-B.
3. As far as I know, your GC petition will not go with you and you'll have to start all over again. I believe, when you file your I-485 with EAD and it has been over 180 days, then you have your EAD and you can change your employer using AC21.
I am on my first H1 (3rd year) and filed for an extension recently. I received my notice a few days back.
Good luck,
SVS
PD: Dec 2007
I-140: Aug 2008
As always, do check with an attorney!

My wife had concived for 3 days in June. During immigration medical exams Doctor gave her MMR shots and stated don't get pregnant for another 3 months.
After 15 days, We came to know that she is pregnant.
last week my wife had miscarriage after 18 weeks of pregnancy. Not sure it's because of MMR or something else.

Hi All,
I received I485 receipts from my lawyer, they are missing my priority date which is in sept 2002. Not sure why they are missing..
Did any one come across the same situation....
what does it mean
Usually Receipt notices will not have PD's only the approval notice's will have the PD's. Check you 140 Receipt/Approval notice as well. Its OK.

Why are you going to other forums for advice. Those other forums are after making money from traffic and ads. They want you to suffer as long as possible so that they make money. They even charge per question. You are being anti-IV by visiting other forums. I hope you see the difference between them and IV.

http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=258654
In previous years, INS made a distinction between H-1B1 (Specialty Occupation) and H-1B2 (Fashion Model). These days they've dropped the distinction-- specialty occupation workers and fashion models get identical approval notices, indicating simply "H-1B." The H-1B1/H-1B2 distinction is gone, for all intents and purposes.
H-1B visa status allows "dual intent," i.e. the intent to work temporarily in the U.S. and return home at the end of the H-1B period, plus the intent to apply for a green card (and not return home), should the opportunity become available. In other words, H-1B visa holders can pursue a green card with no adverse effects. Many of the other visa categories (e.g. F-1 student, B-1/B-2 visitor, and even E-2 treaty investor) allow only "non-immigrant intent." Having applied for a green card or abandoned one's residence abroad can be grounds for denial of one of these visas.
So you can calm down ...have some lunch...
Please donate to IV ..That is in your self-interest...

Hello,
I am working with A on h1b and the visa expires on May 1st 2010.
Recently I got another offer with B and they filed my h1b transfer (regular).
The offer they gave me verbally is different from what's on the offer letter, when I contacted them there insist that they never "promised" , so I did not want to take that offer now.
Can I now ask employer A to file the extension and continue working with A?. Will that create any issues if the transfer with B gets Approved/rejected?. or is there any alternate?. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
