I think she is ok, getting an H1-B approval doesn't mean that you have to start immediately. for e.g, many of the Indian tech companies get an H1-B at the start of the year and when they have a need for that person in US, send him/her over.
Only after her first payroll would she be considered on H1-B.
These opinions are as per my understanding, please correct me if I am wrong.

Guys,
I need your advice in this Regard. My wife is currently on an H-4 Visa (valid until June 2009) and she got her H1 petition approved yesterday. While applying for her H1 this Apr 2008 she was not in USA as she was in India at that time (she went to India for 4 months Feb-June 08). My questions are as below (in Bold)
1. I believe she should go to a US Consulate (we are thinking of going to Canada as we are Canadian Immigrants) before Oct 1, 2008 as she was not physically present in US when her H1 was being filed (correct me if I am wrong here)
2. She is planning to go to the US consulate in Vancouver in Sep 08 to get her H1 Stamped. So let�s say she goes on sep 3rd to attend the Visa Interview and gets her H1 stamped, when does the H1 visa validity actually start?
2a. Will the H1 visa validity start right away or in the last week of Sep? (I am guessing last week of sep..correct me if I am wrong)
2b. Will they cancel her existing H4 visa right away as they issued her a H1?
The reason I ask this, if her Visa Validity starts at the end of Sep can she come back to US on her existing H4 after she attends the H1 interview in the first week of sep.
3. I read in a previous post here that while your H1 processing is going on it is not advisable to travel out of US with H1 receipt number and no approval. As stated above my wife did travel from Feb 08 (before the H1 was filed in Apr 08) to June 08. We got the H1 B approval on July 27, 2008. So does this hamper her chances for getting her Visa Stamped when attending her Visa Interview in Vancouver?
4. Does anyone know how long the Visa Processing Times in Vancouver is?
Can the gurus or people who have faced similar situation please answer my queries above as I need to do the necessary ASAP.
Sorry if these questions are being repetitive as I was not able to find the relevant thread for my answers.
Thanks in Advance!!!

I am not sure I understand why would you want to do this? You are on EAD, correct? This already gives you the right to work for any employer; getting an H-1B would be a step back in this regard. Am I missing something?
I am interested in changing from I-485 EAD to H1B. My reason being I want to change my work and get a different position. does anyone know what is the procedure?

A federal judge in Phoenix on Wednesday blocked key provisions of Arizona's controversial immigration law from taking effect as scheduled Thursday, granting in part an injunction requested by the Obama administration.
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton ruled that the injunction would apply to the portion of the state law that requires police to try to determine the immigration status of a person they arrest, stop or detain while enforcing other laws if they reasonably suspect the person is in the United States illegally.
In a lawsuit filed against Arizona, the Obama administration said the law was unconstitutional and warned that the provision would result in racial profiling and harassment of U.S. citizens, legal immigrants and foreign visitors.
Bolton said in her ruling that it was "not in the public interest" for Arizona to enforce a provision that preempts federal enforcement of immigration law.

Hi !
Our lawyer had posted our application on July 2nd and we had our fingerprinting scheduled for 21st august which was completed.
I checked my status on the USCIS site for the very first time today. And it says. "On July 30, 2007, we received this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case" . Can anyone kindly explain me what this means ( how July 30th and what mail are they talking about ?we never received any! ) ...
Thanks..

Gurus,
I am considering switching my employer.
Currently I have I-140 and labor for GC approved in 2006.
Filed I-485 in July 2007.
My current H-1B expires on December 2009. (9 years on H-1B.... ya that long)
Based on my AC-21 portability after 180 days of I-140 approval, if I move to a new employer and file H-1B transfer, will I get default approval of only upto December 2009, or can I get 3-year extension based on my I-140 approval?
Appreciate your answers in advance.
Thanks,
Optimizer

Folks,
If an employer withdraws an approved I-140, is it enough to show a future offer of employment letter to keep your 485 alive?
My particular case: I have an approved I-140, with pending 485 (EAD/AP approved) (6 months have elapsed). I want to quit my job and go back to school this August, but want to keep 485 alive (primarily because my 6 years on H1 are up). I can easily get a letter from an employer saying that they will employ me once my GC is approved (and I can join them when GC comes through). However, my current employer says that they will withdraw 140 (routine procedure).
Questions:
1. Can I study on EAD/parolee status?
2. Do I need to inform USCIS of invoking AC21 since my employer will withdraw my 140?
3. Can I claim that I am waiting for my GC to be approved to join my future employer, and in the mean time, I am studying full time to improve my skills?
4. Should I try to maintain my H1 status during school (by working part time etc.)?
5. Does my future employer need to file an I140?
6. What should I ask my current employer to provide? Eg: copy of 140, Employment verification letter etc.
Please provide your insights. There might have been previous discussions on this topic. If so, please point me to them and my apologies in advance for re-posting.
Will appreciate any suggestions / comments. I am stuck with the dilemma of continuing to work or going back to school.
Thanks,

I would like to take a quick poll to find number of people who have filed their 485 when they were single and got married later.
The idea is to get a rough number or percentage of people stuck in this boat in the IV community. This would help to start a proposal for a small fix (either admin or legislative) to be passed on to be included as an item in IV's agenda. Believe there are many families stuck in the EB2 of retrogressed countries and many more in all of Eb3 categories who can benefit from a such an initiative.
Here are the options in the Poll:
1. Married; I-485 Filed for everyone in the family at the same time.
2. Married; I-485 filed separately for spouse/ dependent at a later date.
3. Married; yet to file I-485 for spouse/ dependent.
4. Single; yet to get married but filed for 485.

Since H-1 B is an employers petition, It will be delivered to the employers place of business, unless you used an attorney in which case the attorney will have it.
If the notice is lost in the email, you have to request a duplicate notice before you apply for visa at the consulate
Application Type: I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER
Current Status: Approval notice sent.
On June 22, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129 PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.
I have received mail from uscis for my H1B visa status.

Will I receive mail in INDIA or my company who has filled H1B Visa will receive it ?
Today is 03 July 2007 still i have not received any courier from USCIS people.

Is it possible to have second H1b visa and Labor certificate approved for employer "B" while working on H1b visa and having Labor and I 140 approved for employer "A" ??
Gurus pls suggest..
Thanks..
Omved
Yes, that is possible. However, you don't need to have a second H1B with employer "B" in order for that employer to apply for LC and 140 for you since LC and 140 are for future jobs.
