Unless you know the outcome, you never know.
Just be candid and talk to your employer. Sometimes they don't even know this as diff ppl in HR handle and interpret cases differently. I would talk to my employer.

Thansk visakk for your reply, I am travelling thru same employer only. He still wants me to come there. Looks like he is confident & is certainly going to give me Revised Offer Letter dated in Feb 2010.
However my main question is still unanswered whether the scenario is correct to travel, considering January 8 guideline issued by DHS/USCIS. And Subsequent Deportation incidents.
I have option to travel on L2 as well. As my spouse is having L1 visa and she is going to travel in March.
But I want to be on H1B, Pleasse enlighten me on this.

Can anyone of you please clarify if we can file I-140 under premium process using Substitute labor.
I know that we can file I-140 under premium for the non-substitute labor, and I am not sure if we can file under premium using the substitue labor.
Awaiting for your response
Thanks

I'm not an expert but from what I have read on various sites, nobody really knows. The thought is that the Nurse Relief bill stands little chance on it's own but may be bundled with something else to pass it.
I was told by my agency that if CIR passes, it will lift nurses out of the EB catagory and they will all be current. I have tried to find clarification on this but I don't think it is possible to speculate at this time.
I think the Healthcare reform is the first issue and then CIR will be addressed.
I have seen the figure 20,000 extra visas per year bandied round, these would be for the nurse only and the familly members would not take up any of this number. I have no idea how many nurses are waiting so don't know how this will impact on the overall figures - if indeed it ever comes to fruition.
I'm in turmoil over this as I had anticipated a lengthy wait and have embarked on a training programme to become a nurse practitioner and now worry I won't be able to complete it.
Being realistic, I would think if all EB visas become available overnight it will be sometime to process a large number, so it could take a good 12 months to get to my PD Jan 09 - I hope.
As I said at the start I am no expert so am only conveying my understanding and would welcome anyone who can correct any misunderstanding on my part.

Hello Friends,
My AP is expired on December 9th 2008. I would like to renew my AP. Could you please provide the details on how to renew my AP? or Does it come as a new process instead of renewal?
Thanks

H-1B Visa Employer that Does Not Effect a �bona fide termination� under the H-1B provisions Liable for back wages to H-1B Employee.
To employ H-1B visa nonimmigrants, an employer must fill out a Labor Condition Application (LCA). The LCA stipulates the wage levels that an employer guarantees for the H-1B visa worker�s pay. In signing and filing an LCA, an employer attests that for the entire �period of authorized employment,� the required wage rate will be paid to the H-1B nonimmigrant.
An employer need not compensate a nonimmigrant, however, if it has effected a �bona fide termination� of the employment relationship. To ultimately effectuate a �bona fide termination� under the INA, an employer must notify USCIS that it has terminated the employment relationship with the H-1B nonimmigrant employee so that USCIS may revoke approval of the H-1B petition. The employer must also provide the employee with payment for transportation home. Failure to do so may subject the employer to liability for back wages to the H-1B employee.
In Amtel Group of Florida v. Yongmahapakorn, Amtel provided notice to the H-1B visa employee that it had terminated the employment relationship. Amtel Group of Florida v. Yongmahapakorn, 04-087 (ARB 9/29/06). However, the court held that notice alone was not sufficient to end the employer�s obligation to pay the required wages to an H-1B employee. The employer does not effect a �bona fide termination� and, therefore, end its obligation to pay the required wages to the H-1B employee unless the employer has also notified USCIS. The court therefore ordered Amtel to pay the employee the prevailing wage for an internal auditor until the expiration of her authorized period of stay for H-1B employment, plus prejudgment compound interest on the back pay owed and post judgment interest until the employer made full payment.

Hi
I came to the US on H4 and then applied for H1-B. My H4 visa expired. My H1-B was approved but I was not staffed and hence not paid for the past one year and as a result I do not have pay stubs. I do not have the H1-B stamping on my passport. Now I want to apply for H4 from my home country based on my husband's H1-B.
My question is when I fill in the DS156 form what should I fill in for the following parts
1. #20 and #21 - Name and address of you current employer and Present Occupation
(Would I have to give details about the employer who filed my H1-B even though I do not have H1-B stamp on my passport)
2. #30 Have you ever been issued a US Visa - Yes/No (I do not have the H1-B stamp, I only have the previous H4 stamp)
When , Where, What Type of Visa (Would I have to mention about my H1 or H4?)
Please can anyone help me with these questions
Thanks

hi,
i entered the US on AP in Jan 2010, and at the time of entry, my I94 validity was set for
1 year (viz Jan 2011) - and the AP also noted "AoS" status on it.
(a) Is the validity of my I94 (and thus my legal stay) 1 year, or as i have read elsewhere,
if AoS is pending, then its valid till the AoS case is decided?
(b) If the validity is 1 year, what is the process for extending the I94 validity?
thanks for your time,
-andy
a. Yes, you are on valid AOS status.
b. No need to extend your I-94 as long as your AOS is pending.

Great story, another example how the illegal immigration debate is now a big part of our culture.
In 1993, when I was 14, I became a regular on �Sesame Street.� The show usually liked to have a teenager on, so that was me. My character had my same name, Carlo, and eventually I got a job at Mr. Hooper�s store. I had to make a birdseed milkshake for Big Bird, that was my tryout. I ended up appearing on �Sesame Street� for five years. But the whole time, I had a secret: I was an undocumented immigrant. The papers I�d used to get hired were fake.My family had come from Ecuador when I was seven and my older brother Angelo was nine. We came on a tourist visa, and the moment my parents had gotten it, we knew we were not coming back. They sold all our furniture before we left.
My mother had a sister living legally in the United States, and my parents planned to have her sponsor us for residency. Soon after landing in New York, my parents saw a lawyer. But we were told the process would take four or five years.
Coming to the States was traumatic. In Ecuador, we had lived in a house. Here, we were in a small apartment. We didn�t know any English. But you know, at that age, things change quickly. In six months we were speaking English and running around like normal kids. Most of the time, we blended in. But we knew weren�t supposed to be here, and we lived with a lot of fear.
I started acting when I was 11, almost as a fluke. One day, we went to visit our cousins, and they were on their way to try-outs for a community theater production of �Oliver!� It was through a program put on by the city, to get disadvantaged kids off the street. When we got there, the producers were like, �You should try out, too.� So my brother and I did. Then we all went to lunch. When we got home, we had a phone message that we�d both been cast. I was Oliver.

Immigration Law from Houston Immigration Lawyer - Annie Banerjee Has Just Posted the Following:
In a letter to Senator Grassley, the CIS defended their H-1B adjudication practices and their everything under the kitchen sink Request for Evidences.
The CIS is looking into revising the form I-129 to have Petitioner and beneficiary both attest that:
The beneficiary has been advised of the offsite placement and accepts the terms of the H-IB employment, including the job location and possible relocation;
Really? Does anyone working for the software industry not know that they have to work off site. These people are always traveling, the beneficiary KNOWS they have to work off site. Same with Oil Company Engineers. Its the nature of their work. Does CIS seriously think the beneficiary does not know?
2. Placement of the beneficiary offsite during the period of employment will be in compliance with the statutory and regulatory requirements of the H-IB nonimmigrant classification;
3. The beneficiary will be paid the prevailing rate of pay at any offsite
location; and,
This is in line with the question on the I-94 application on the plane, "Are you a terrorist." Has anyone ever answered yes to that question? Similarly, will anyone filing an H-1B petition ever say they will not comply with the law?
4. The work itinerary is attached.
The H-1B is given for 3 years. It is difficult to predict the itinerary for all those 3 years. If the work itinerary is for less than 3 years, then the employer has to file the whole H-1B again, with the high fees. And even if they have the work itinerary, the job may be canceled, etc. So what is the point of private employers filing job itineraries with the Government?
All of this simply penalizes the small employers who form the backbone of the American economy.

Did anyone get their 140 approved from Vermont?
My 140 and 485 were filed late July 07 in Nebrasks and I got notices stating the 485 was transferred to Texas and 140 was being processed in Vermont.
The Vermont processing time for 140s has been stagnant at April 2006 for a long time.
Wondering if anyone has any updates on this.
Thanks in advance.

If you create a new 'plane' and position it below the object as a floor, you will get a shadow. You can move the light sources about to get the right shadow.
ps. make sure you tick the 'include shadows' option when rendering your animation.
