I applied for H4 to H1 conversion (April'06) and then travelled to India (May'06). I came back on H4 (Jun'06). After one month my H1 was approved which includes a new I 94 valid from Oct'06.
Is this H1's I94 valid..?, as per law USCIS should abandon COS approval if alien travels out of U.S during its process.
Can I start my employment from Oct '06 or do I have to get my H1 stamped.

This is from my lawyer,
"What Are the Immigration Consequences of the Government Shutting Down?
As Congress continues its budgetary deadlock, the possibility of a government shutdown looms larger by the minute. If Congress is unable to reach accord on Friday, the government will close at midnight, Saturday April 9.
In general, if the government shuts for budgetary reasons, all but "essential" government are furloughed and not allowed to work. So what does this mean for immigration agencies?
USCIS: A couple of shutdown threats back, a USCIS official stated at a stakeholder engagement that USCIS (other than the human touches on E-Verify) would not need to shut down, since all of the agency, other than E-Verify, is funded by fees. However, it is not clear that this is the case, and at least one local office has indicated that it is working on its shutdown plan. We will update as we get more information.
DOS: If there is a shutdown, the result for DOS will likely be the same as it was in the 1996 government closing. Then, the only visa issuance being done was for some diplomats and for "life or death" situations. As DOS is wont to say "a really, really important business meeting is not life or death."
CBP: Inspection and law enforcement are considered "essential personnel," though staffing may be more limited than usual. The borders will be open, and CBP is unsure of how the shutdown will affect the processing of applications filed at the border.
EOIR: EOIR has been advised to "put its shutdown plans in place." As with other agencies, personnel who are not considered "essential" will be furloughed. EOIR has indicated that the detained docket would likely be considered an essential function and would therefore be able to continue in operation.
DOL: DOL is making plans for a possible shutdown. If there is a shutdown, DOL personnel will not be available to respond to e-mail or other inquiries. We do not know at this point whether iCERT/PERM would continue to function. However, because the systems require funding to run, practitioners should assume that they would not be available."

HI,
My EB2 perm labor was approved recently and thinking of filing I 140.
Trying to port my EB3 PD, 09/23/2003 to EB2.
I missed filing I 1485 for my wife in july 2007.
My question is if I go ahead and file I 140 premium for me , lets say it gets approved soon ,my dates will be current.Should I file I 485 for my wife then ?
What happens if they approve my I 485 before I file my wife's 485.
How long it took for you to get the labor aproved?. What are steps and duration it took?

On behalf of core group, I apologize to you and your wife for the abusive language that someone used.
We tried to moderate the forum posts. At any time, there are nearly 200-300 people reading the forums and nearly 20-25 posting. Its a tough thing to moderate every thread since we do this along with day-to-day fulltime jobs.
I have to close this thread otherwise this thread will spiral into a thread war that none of us want. And we cannot have such threads continue as its embarrassing for us all.
If you'd like, you can email me jay@immigrationvoice.org if you want to talk about this issue so that I can explain more.
Thanks for understanding.

I know for sure that Shusterman is one of the reputed Lawyer's... Its good to see people like him spending some time in this forum.
Also, if this is Mr.Shusterman himself participating in this forum or a member of his team participating. Can you throw some light into EB Immigration in the current CIR. What is that the EB folks can expect?

Guys,
I just wanted to share some good news. I had two approved LCs. One with PD EB3 ROW March 05 and the other with ROW EB3 March 06. I had already filed the I-140 for the March 06 but not for the March 05 one. That was because of the way the job requirement was worded in that LC. The attorney was not sure if it would be approved. Anyway since the earlier PD became current in June I decided to take a chance and file I-140 for that earlier PD LC with PP. And what do you know, it got approved today and that allowes me to file for AOS this month. It was a bit of a gamble with money but it worked!!! :cool:

Hi,
I have been filed in EB2 with a priority date of Feb 26 2007.
What you guys think about the possibility of my PD getting current this year?
I know that it needs a crystal ball to predict such horrendun things like PD movement, but I am just trying to get a poll on the general feeling about the spillover this year.
Thanks in advance.
You can check out the EB3-EB2 calculations thread. You have a decent chance of getting your GC by September 2011 based on the predictions there.

Hi All,
My passport expires in 2 months time. I checked Indian Consulate in Chicago website for passport renewal (Passport and Consular Services (http://chicago.indianconsulate.com/Passpins.html#A). _New_Passport
). It instructs you to fill out an online application at https://passport.gov.in/nri/OnlineRegistration.jsp
What I am confused is in the second field "Service Desired", what do I fill? I do not know which of these two options I should fill (a) Passport for children upto 15 years (b) Fresh Passport (c) Re-issue of passport (d) New passport in lieu of damaged or lost passport. Options (a) and (d) do not apply to me. Should I fill (b) or (c)?
These options are a bit confusing and I could not locate any instructions for this web form. The consulate phone number just keeps on playing a 5 minute generic recording.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for sharing the info.
Was it first h1 renewal (meaning 3rd year) or second h1 renewal (meaning 7th year).
Did you do anything extra to avoid PIMS delay (like when you renewed your h1) did your employer keep another copy with a notice saying send to Kentucky CC
How long was the gap between h1 renewal received and you going for stamping?
It was first H1b ext. Company did not send second copy to Kentucky CC . On roadside window where VFS does preliminary check , vfs person put PIMS forbid in DS 156. Dont know what does it mean. also h1b renewal was in nov 2008 and I went for .stamping in feb 2009.
One more thing VFS mumbai told me that they will not allow even US born child ( even new born ) if they are not applicant. Only applicant child ( those who are for h4 ) allowed inside. at delhi situation was totally different.

You need to turn in all your I-94 cards, e.g. I-94 below the H1B approval notice, change of status. When you re enter the new I-94 card will have a new number so old ones if you kept would become useless. I would highly recommend that make copies of all your I-94 cards at I-485 they can ask you provide old I-94 cards Have seen cases where this has happened.
Thanks a lot for your reply.

hey guys,
i send in my i-140/i485 along with those for my wife. as luck will have it, I forgot to include her sealed i-693. i am planning to send it tomorrow with a cover letter. is that okay? is there anything else I can do?
I will appreciate any help.
thanks
ashish
Only send it after you get a receipt notice....Else, I am sure it will get lost....USCIS has said in its latest FAQs that it will not reject the 485 packet if it doesnt inlcude the medicals....So wait till you get a receipt notice and send it with a copy of the receipt...
