i think you can use experience from your OPT if you have any even if it is with the same company.

I am on my 7th year H1B. I got a 3yr extension from my current employer based on approved I140. I have the I140 receipt number but do not have a copy of 140 (my employer refuses to give it).
I also do not have the LCA for Perm filing.
My 485 has been filed more than 6 months ago.
I do have the new I797 (till 2010) for my H1B extension from my current company.
1. Is it possible for a new company to do my H1B transfer without a copy of I140 ?
2. Is I140 required to do EAD extension ?
3. What are the consequences of not having an actual I140 copy with new employer in future.?
If 180 days have passed after I-140 approval, then there is nothing to worry about not having a copy of I-140.

Sudha -
I had a similar case. I would suggest going to India because they have handled similar cases (such as mine) and have a better chance of understanding your situation.
You should read my post. I had described the issue along with resolution...and there is good advice/dialouge with the members
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum87-out-of-status-employment-gap-and-status-revalidation/22794-urgent-h1b-revoked-for-past-6-months.html
Best of luck!

Looks like everything in GM is on sale.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=ae2V3Y.7j85k&refer=news
Saturn is sold for $100 to $200 mn.
Who knows GM may sell the retired brands for 1 or 2 mn.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac#End_of_the_Pontiac_brand
Now the important question.
Did tatas overpay for jaguar and landrover ? Looks like they did.
Saturn has plants to produce cars, BUT NO TECHNOLOGY OF THEIR OWN. NO R&D.
Saturn sells rebranded-rebadged OPEL (GM - EUROPE, now sold to Magna) Vehicles.
While Jaguar and Land Rover are very strong brands with their own technologies and research & design capabilities. Besides Tata bought those brands when Rupee was historically high (below 40 per USD). So I don't think Tata made any mistakes.
I think it is Mahindra who is making mistake by not buying Hummer or Volvo or Saturn. I am very excited to see first Indian Vehicle to be sold in US i.e. Mahindra in 2009. No matter what, I will be the first to buy one.

I am no expert but here are a few suggestions.
Your visa expiry date will correspond to the duration of stay originally requested in your I-129 and stated in the approved Labor C.
However, once you enter the US your attorney will file to extend your visa and your visa will be extended for another 3 years duration from Sept 2010 (when the current one expires). After that 3 year expires you will be eligible for another 2 years + months that remains out of the total 6 years possible.
I dont feel that you have to worry too much. The only problem is you will only have an approval notice after the Sept 2010. Once you leave the US, to reenter you will need to go to any consulate to get the visa stamped.
Welcome to the "immigration maze". When you walk through you will see people stuck, directionless and hopeless. Try to give them a hand. Rarely you will come across people who are "very optimistic" for no obvious reason. Try to get some optimism from them to keep you energized. Best.

I am in same boat.
I have asked my attorney and she said, they will be going for COS from H1B to H4 and will produce leave of absence from OCT1, 2008 till date(no pay-stubs) and H4 will be based on my husbands H1b status and will produce his paystub and not mone.
Does it look right option?

Sorry, unfortunately H1B is biased towards skilled labor. Your major unfortunately does not fall in that category as such. When I say skilled, I'm talking about the sciences, finance, law etc.
Your goal is noble but unfortunately there is no place for you as an employee in the United States on a work visa. You can always try to get married to a US citizen . Much easier path :)

DOS tel number: 202-663-1225 then 1 0 0, and tell your passport number. That is all.
It is easier to get connected to DOS visa specialist at morning time (US eastern time).
[QUOTE=lost_in_gc_land;218762]Hi statuslaw,
Can you share all your experience and discussions with the DOS and their contact information for my case? Thank you

My son was on B1 and then on H4. B1 was stamped in 2000 for 10 years. He was with me in US for 4 years and had 1 stamping of H4 in his passport after 2000. He moved to Canada in 2005 but still visits me on B1 which was issued to him before his H4 stamping and B1 was never cancelled. I am not sure about L1..
RV
When I went for H1B stamping my B1 was cancelled and I was told one can not have more than one visa at the same time.

What about all H1-B, L-1, J-1, K-1....all potential EB immigrant, pick a date and do not spend anything on that day. That will hurt this economy and get some attention. Please do not tell me that people on H1 and L1 do not make and spend enough money.

Good job Pratik. we should grab every opportunity we get to voice our opinion even though this TV interview was mostly on H1B visa cap and increasing the cap. Only 10 seconds or so were given to the lengthy green card process. Increasing H1B quota is not a solution for us. It would infact increase our wait times and backlog of applications. it is in the interest of Hi-tech companies to have the h1b visa quota increased so that they can get more skilled workers. However they know that once they have an H1B worker, they will have that worker for many years due to retrogression. Thus retrogression is not a BIG news story. We need to highlight the greencard quota issue and not confuse it with the H1B quota issue. I feel these are 2 different things. After watching the SJC and Senate proceedings I feel Retrogression and greencard quota issue needs more awareness and education amongst lawmakers so that it is not confused with H1B visa quota.
Pappu,
Not sure how Priya David fell through the cracks but the very first thing we do when we talk to reporters is hammer away and draw a distinction between H1-B and EB workers. It is part of our media mantra. In fact this comes across so strongly that the WaPo reporter even called me back to say "see I didn't mess that up!" Unfortunately, TV stations do tend to splice together a bunch of stuff just to get a story out.
We just have to keep hammering away.
best,
Berkeleybee

One of my friend who applied for an EAD renewal got it approved. But it went back to USCIS as undeliverable by post office. So he calls USCIS and opens an SR, and the rep says that his PR card application has been approved and will be remailed to him. Which means, they initially sent the GC instead of EAD. Can this happen? His PD is not current, he is from india with a PD of 2004.
Also, after he opened an SR for this, he received a notice from USCIS via postal mail that an SR was created and that they are remailing the PR card and if he does not receive it within 60 days, he needs to call them.
I told him that they are mistaking PR card for an EAD card and its the EAD card thats coming back to him. Anyone here had such an experience?? And defenitely my friend is just not excited too as he knows USCIS does not even know to put the correct card name in the notice.

Ok we have the poll, now can we start guessing when our dates will be current.
possibly we need another poll with these options asking when do you think your PD will be current
1) 10-12 years
2) 12-15 years
3) 15 - 20 years
:(
You are one optimistic dude in EB3 queue!!
Not so early :-)
