the only difeerence is in the ease with which you shift employers.
when it was not called transfer you had to wait for approval of new H1 but now you can start working for new employer upon getting the receipt.

User,
You need only AOS receipt, when you travel outside
So dont worry about EAD and AP receipts as you will get EAD Card and AP Doc directly to your address
So just ask AOS receipt saying you are planning for travel

Hello,
I am on H1, have filed Labor on 10/30/2009 (awaiting decision) and still have 2 months to go before my 6th year of H1 starts.
Now, i have plans for higher studies, but since i am a consultant/contractor and my projects are all over the US, I am planning to go full time (early 2011) either in US or outside.
I checked with a friend if I should go full time in US and he told me that since i have filed Labor, i have shown 'immigration-intent' and therefore my F1/student visa request will be denied, since F1/student visa is a non-immigrant visa.
Now my question to this forum of lawyers is, Is the above true for F1? Also, if it is true and due to that, if i plan to study outside USA and after my studies (which keep me out of US for more than an year) want to come back and work in USA, will my request for an H1 also be denied due to the same 'immigration-intent' i showed in my Labor process earlier, since H1 is again a non-immigrant visa?
Thanks in Advance for your help !
PS: I am a newbie in this forum. Pls let me know if any info is missing, or if such a concern has already been addressed in an earlier post, pls point me to the same.

My wife and I both came back on AP through Frankfurt on Feb 3rd. We do not have stamped H1-B visas in our passports. You do not need Transit Visa. Transit through Frankfurt is very easy and hassle-free. Security and immigration personnel in Frankfurt are very friendly and nice.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
My L1 and I-94 is valid till August 14th 2009 -- I want to know if I can travel India and come back before it is expired. Are there any restrictions on port of entry when visa is nearing to expire. I would not take chance if there is a porblem in international travel and if I have deportation issues at the point of entry then I am not willing to go. But I want to visit my parents as they are not doing well.
Also, I am thinking once I am back from India then I can apply for L1 visa extension -- is it a good idea to apply for extension after I come back or I can apply and go to India for vacation.
Please guide me as I am in a fix and I am not able to take any decession.

All options are possible, depends on your personal preference. There is NO good answer.
If your spouse is in H1B and have a stable income, I would suggest the H4 path.
Hi..
i am currently on my 8th year h1..and on the bench..hoping some projects will come thru in a week or so.
Currently i have been on LOP for almost 5 weeks now..
what do you think would be a good option for me:
a.) Start the process for H4..and find a new job..and transfer H1 and stay till H1 is valid till may 2010..
b.) Be on bench for few more weeks.. and hope someting will work out...(firm has said they wont cancel my h1/140).. they are just being helpful..but?
c.) R2I ASAP...and try for a consular processing....?
d.) go to H4...and R2I in May...then if the Eb2(Dec 2005) dates are current..try for a CP..its a long shot...
i am confused..any suggestions??

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

Inorder to take the priority date with you, the I140 petition (after the labour approval) needs to be approved.
I think there is no way you can take your priority date with you just with labour approval.

Had an Infopass appointment today VA, Washington Field Office, just wanted to share the experience here.
Had appiled I-485 last year August, and case was transferred to Vermont and then back to Texas, had
never received my FP notice. Received EAD and AP from Vermont last year.
It was a really nice experience as first lady confirmed/checked my Priority date is current, and was very helpful, she immediatly scheduled an FP appointment for my wife and myself for Sep.4th, though I did not
inquire much about my case, she provided me with all the details. My wife's name check got cleared last year and mine got cleared just this July 31st, she also said that recently tsc centre worked on my case, and probably did not do much as FP is missing, she said that currently my case in the records room and not in examination room. When asked after FP on Sep 4. any chances me getting approved, for follow-up she said call TSC after two weeks they should able give u all the details.

STATUS:
AOS - ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS.
Filed for GC (permanent residence), and waiting for it. (explanation)
I have just signed a contract to buy a new home.
The first step is to be eligible for mortgage.
During an interview with mortgage counsellor, she asked my visa status.
I tried explaining her that I was not on H1 and had not received GC yet, that I am on EAD.
But she did not understand it. She only understands H1 or GreenCard.
I am not on H1 since I changed my employer and it expires this October.
I have also travelled on Advanced parole.
Recent EAD is good until 2010.
Can anyone help?

Hello All,
I am planning to start working for a new company starting June. I was wondering If I can start H1B visa transfer to the new company via premium processing(hopefully will get approved in 2-3 weeks) and continue to work for the current employer and get paid till the end of May, even the though the transfer would have been approved in the end of April.
Thanks in advance.

It won't be through any company. It would be through the school itself. If the school needs a teacher then it can file for his/her h1b.
Thanks Godbless
Does anyone know about a School that require teachers and apply their H1B.

Dear all:
May I ask what I should do in the following situation?
I hold F1 visa and my new job starts on Sept 1. The int'l student office of my current university mistakenly set my OPT start date on May 6. My OPT has been approved and EAD card arrived.
That is, I will have 120-plus "unemployment" days accumulated by early August, which will then violate the "90-day unemployment rule" of OPT.
I am under tremendous pressure and really want to hear your opinions.
Many thanks in advance!
ISO is the one which updates the SEVIS database. Since you claim its their mistake, you should approach them for advise on this as well. I have heard that voluntary work (no pay) in your field of study can help you to maintain your status and not count days towards the 90 day unemployment rule. If true, you can pursue that option as well till your job starts on Sep 1.

Thanks for your reply.
Is there any way that i can start working immeadiatly after getting the approval (May 2010), like Premium processing or COS immeadiatly ?
Thanks,
-Srinivas
ravise is absolutely right, u will get H1 for the period remaining (6 years minus time spent on L1). Also, if u file in next year's quota (filing starts in Apr 2010), it cannot have a start date earlier than Oct 1, 2010. I don't think u can start working on H1 before that date, even if u file premium.
Why don't u ask you company to file in current year's quota -- there are still visas available.

Hi,
Both me and my wife are on EAD and have valid AP (valid till December 2010), H1 expires in Jan 2011(not stamped on our passport) . Priority date is June 2005, have a job and have current paustubs/w2.
My wife is in India currently - we both are planning on coming back in April sometime with our new born baby. My question is about getting H4 stamped for our baby.
1.Do we need to get our H1 stamped on our passport to get H4 for our kid ?
2.What happens if our I485 gets approved before we get H4 stamp for our kid ?
3.What is the procedure these days to get H4 stamped on passport ?
