Hi people, I am currently applying change of status from H1 to F1. Since my PERM got audit, and my h1 visa is going to expire in the end of January 2009, I need to change my status to F1 student visa in order to stay in the U.S legally. Now, I am trying to fill out the form I-539 by myself, and I got confused on:
part 4. additional information on 3g:"Have you, or any other person included in this application, been employed in the U.S. since last admitted or granted an extension or change of status?"
I don't know should I put "YES" or "NO", I have never done "i-539 for change of status" on my first F1/OPT to H1 visa....but I actually worked in the U.S...
Can anyone help me to answer that? Thanks a lot!!!
>> Have you, or any other person included in this application, been employed in the U.S. since last admitted or granted an extension or change of status?
The answer should be Yes.
Good Luck.

Does your employer do all the work or the lawyer?
All H1 extensions are now processed in California (I think). So you should get the WAC number (EAC-Vermont,LIN-Nebraska,WAC-California,SRC-Texas). And my employer's lawyer sent the application end of may (31st I think) and we received a notice dated June 8th.

Thank you for your replies...
My confusion is, as soon as I enter on AP I am on EAD and I don't have approved EAD. Does this mean I can not work untill I get EAD approved? I don't have Visa Stamped and I am not planning for Visa Stamping.

Thank you guys for your responses. I hope that it won't cause any issue...
Lawyer had just mentioned NA in that column, thankfully, I had submitted copy of my I140 approval.
Anyways, hoping for the best and continuing to wait and watch...

Hello,
I needed your advise whether i have a case to file an APPEAL to USCIS granting me 1 yr H1 extension (beyond 6th Yr) instead of 3 yr extension.?
Recently my 7th yr extension was approved for 1 year in Jul'09 with petition valid date till june'09 (date in the past) . At the time of filling the 7th yr extension, my I140 was not approved but during the processing of my h1 extension my I140 got approved and i had sent the approval copy along with an RFE i recieved in May'09.
Let me give my case background in details.
* LC applied in oct'07
* I-140 applied in May'08 after LC approval
* 6th yr on H1 ended in June 08
* had to return India since my LC < 1 yr and I-140 was not approved
* Employer based on an attorney's advise suggested to apply my 7th yr extension from India once my LC is one yr old (i.e. Oct'08)
� Mar09- applied 7th yr extension based on Approved LC (> 1 yr old ) and applied I-140
� Apr09- I-140 approved
� May09 � Received RFE on H1 extension, replied along with a copy of Approved I-140 hoping to get 3 yrs extension
� Jul09 � Received approval on H1X extension for 1 year with petition valid till Jun'09 (1 yr extension)
Appreciate your advise on the same.
Thanks,
Bikash

and the write-up mostly talks about illegal immigration.
While quoting, discussing such links helps the members of this forum somewhat in keeping the buzz, I feel we must have focussed efforts on specific provisions that will improve the issues faced by legal immigrants. It is possible that this is easier to achieve than a Comprehensive Immigration Reform that this articles speaks about. Thanks to apnair2002 for the post.

I would anticipate EAD to be processed in max of 3 months and AP in 2 months.
Would also add a buffer of 2 weeks (just in case).
Thanks Krishna...

I have been working for Company A which was bought under the Umbrella of a bigger parent. My company A still operates under the same name and is fairly independent.
The parent company bought another company B recently and have asked me move to B for business reasons in a similar role as with company A. Could I file a new GC with B and use my 10+ years experience with A to file for under EB2. I am currently under EB3-I category

Hi,
I got a contract offer at company A (Industry: Health) at a big city. Currently I am working for a State Government as a contractor. As per salary is concerned not much of a difference between the two contract positions. Me and and my wife are currently working but at different places. 2-3 months back we thought of moving to a big place so that the probability of the other person getting job would be more and we can stay together at the same place so I applied for Company A. They accepted my resume but because of the economy and budget constraints they hold the position and after sometime I forgot about it. I dropped the idea of moving and didn't apply for any jobs because of the current economy situations. Now last week after more than 2 months they reopened that position and interviewed me and I got the offer yesterday. Now I am in a dilemma whether to take this offer at Company A or stay where I am until the economy goes little better. My current job is stable. Added to that my wife's contract getting over in Jan 2009. I am cracking my head here thinking what's right thing to do.
Scenarios:
1. If I moved to Company A and my job is good and then after Jan my wife can look for a job at that place. (chances are more because of Big City). Everything is good.
2. If I moved to Company A and crisis is soo bad and I lost my job and from jan my wife contract is ending. After that it's just nightmare.
3. If I stay where I am and once the economy stabilizes atleast a bit and look for a job.
I really appreciate your suggestions. I know they are people in our forum who studied current economy so good and can give me a valuable advice. Thanks.

you can still continue on H1B (same employer) as long it is validity..even when you use AP at POE..

Friends,
I have the following situation, any help/pointers is much appreciated:
- Have EAD (expired Sep 2010). H1B expires Dec 20, 2009.
- I was informed sometime back that I am going to be laid off mid September (next week)
- I am expecting another job offer (interview went well and most likely will get the job) and plan to start at that job late September / eraly October 2009.
- The new offer that I am expecting to get is for the position of Senior Software Engineer, whereas my previous position (where I will be laid off from) was Software Engineer.
So, my questions are:
1. Is it still possible to transfer my H1B visa even though I expect a gap of atleast 2 weeks between the two jobs, or is it better to switch over to the EAD?
2. Will it be a problem for my pending 485 application if my position changes to Senior Software Engr? (although the responsibilities in both positions are about 95% similar, few more responsibilities as a Senior Eng, thats all)
3. If I end up changing over to EAD, what next steps should I do (wrt keeping my 485 applicationb alive and to inform USCIS that I have switched over to EAD).
4. A few months before I got the notice of layoff, I got engaged to a woman in India. I would have preferred to get married by end of the year (would have applied for 1yr extension of H1b) so that my wife could have come over on H4 visa. Now, if I switch over to EAD, what are the options of bringing my (to be) wife over? Is this going to be a problem?

Hi everyone,
Here is my situation and I need URGENT help.
I am currently on L1-A for past 7 years (Visa expires Nov 07). During this span my company's attorney has unsuccessfully filed my I140 (twice was rejected at NSC and later TSC - due to 3 year degree and also my job description prior to transfer to US did not showed I have managerial/management function of a department). He refiled again this time with proper documentation and additional support letters from senior exec from my company.
I suspect he has been making mistakes in my filing and my time is running out. I am thinking of using my own money and hire another lawyer to file a fresh I140/485. Is this possible since I have already 2 pending I140; one at NSC under EB-1C and another at TSC under EB-3?
Please reply urgently if anyone has the answer to my question as I am running out of time.
Thanks in advance.
