yes it can happen....
my case: we both filed under premium for our 7th year extension last year and hubby was processed in 5 days, but my H4 took 5 months together with RFE. RFE was stupid enough, they asked to see a copy of already approved H1 7th year.
My advice, wait and see what happens....
Sometimes they pick up H4 a week or so after h1. Good luck.

RFE - Request for evidence
Thanks. But my question was what the RFE was? What is the evidence requested by CIS?

Readers,
My I-797 expires on Dec 20th 2008
My 6 year term of H1b is between 2004 Oct till 2010 Sep
My previously filed PERM & I-140 are under the verge of rejection due to a pending RFE.
I am planning to file another PERM. Even though I'm trying to do it ASAP, I'm wondering whether I have an advantage on filing new PERM before Dec 20th 2007.
While applying for H1B extension in Dec 2008, If I have an approved labor/pending I-140 I thought I could request for 3 year extension. If I don't have labor/I-140 pending I can only request for 20 months extension (as my 6 year H1B term ends on Sep 2010)
I read from a site that...
"One in H1B/H-4 status can extend to the end of the 6-year limit, and then take advantage of the provisions allowing extensions beyond the 6-year limitation, if the labor certification or I-140 was filed at least a year earlier."
When I asked this question to my attorney he said
You can file for an H-l B visa extension up to 6 years. You can only file for an extension past the 6th year if your labor certification and/or I-l40 was pending for more the 365 days prior to the 6th year on your H-lB Visa status. If not and your labor certification is approved and the I-l40 is pending then you can only request an extension in one (l) year increments only until a final decision is made.
So does this mean I can only request for a 12 month extension if labor/I-140 is pending on Nov 2008?
Readers, Please provide me your guidance....
Thanks in advance

Soumya,
Very legitimate question- don't know if anyone here will have a good answer (I hope so) but I hope you get your problem solved. I would advise a consultation with a good attorney, this is a very important matter for you. Some attorney's will answer an initial question free on the web- gives you some preliminary info.
All the best!

Guys,
My wife was working on H1B now and she got EAD last week. Out of the following options which is TRUE and which is BETTER.
Option 1--> Moving to EAD from H1B by signing on I-9
Option 2--> COS from H1 to H4 and then to EAD.
I read in some of our threads that if we choose option 1 and if something goes wrong in AOS, we have to file for new H1B again. We have to wait for quota etc etc.
I also read that if we choose Option 2, if something goes wrong in EAD, we can always change back [ie RESUME]to H1B.
I am not so sure about these. Could some one share their thought.
Thanks
sree

My mother-in-law would like to get visitor visa.
How do I answer #37 of the DS-156?
The applicant's (my mother-in-law) son( my husband) is in the U.S. illegally. I am US cit. and my husband needs to report to visa interview within the next year. We have been post-poning due to medical issues. In the meanwhile we hope my mother-in-law can come here to visit her granddaughter.( I am unable to travel). #37 of the DS-156 asks if any body is in US. We should answer YES, because her son is here, BUT, what do we put for his status? Illegal? I read one article that stated to mark YES only if he has legal status. I do not want to put NO, immigration already knows he is here and we do not want to be dishonest.
Any ideas?

When I check the status of my case online, it does not include any information regarding which service is processing my application.

H1 extension can be applied upto 6 months before the expiry of current H1.
If you haven't completed 6 years on H1, you can always extend it as usual.
If you have completed 6 years on H1B, you have to have one of the following to extend your H1B.
1. Labor/Perm was applied at least 1 year back
In this case, your H1 will be extended another year
2. I-140 is approved.
In this case, your H1B will be extended 3 years.
More than likely your I-140 will be approved before November 2009 if it is a reasonably clean case. ( USCIS I-140 processing time has come down drastically)
BTW you don't get an H1 automatically on your 140 approval, your company has to apply for it.
Hope this helps.

I'm getting a visa stamping date in Kolkata embassy but I'm from New Delhi. I dont want to take a chance and wait till the dates in New Delhi embassy are available. Can I schedule interview in Kolkata and later when dates become available in New Delhi change it ? I mean can I change the venue of my appointment ?
Thanks,
Ashish
I was in a similar situation last year.I had stamped my intial H1 stamps from Mumbai and Chennai. Last year in June i booked my appointment with New Delhi Embassy for stamping in Sept end when i was to be in India. i think appointments were a major issue at that point of time. Returning workers can apply for visa stamp at any consulate/embassy .

H1-B Extension after 6 years.
Is it mandatory that I have to work at the employer who is processing my GC to get the extension on H1-B beyond 6 years?
I have changed my employment after I-140 approved. But the previous employer agreed to continue the GC process. I could not file 485 due to PD is not current.
The 6 yrs limit on H1 is about to be over.
Is it possible to extend H1-B after 6 yrs at the new employer, based on the I-140 approved by previous employer as green card is process? Or is it mandatory that I have to work at the employer who is processing my GC to get the extension on H1-B beyond 6 years?
Thanks in advance
Venkat
In order to extend H1B beyond six years, you do not require to be with the GC sponsoring employer. One must have filed a labor 365 days before 6th year end date. 1 or 3 years extension is based on what stage of GC processing you are in. Hope this helps!

Hi ,
I'm on H1B. Recently I joined new employer and the transfer is still in
pending status.
Among the documents required to sponsor for B2 visa, I'm supposed to
send copies of I-797 and I-94. I have old employers H1B approval notice
and I-94, but not of the new employers. I have the H1B receipt notice
related to the new employer.
Is it fine to sponsor for a B2 visa and for the visitors to attend the visa
interview in the US consulate with all the other essential documents
including new employers H1B receipt notice without the new employer H1B
approval notice.
Any of your valuable suggestions are welcome.
Thanks & Regards,
Sunkara

Folks make sure the A number is same in both applications, if they are different USCIS puts it aside and will not process, I found out today while getting my address verified with USCIS IO, they had entered my address wrongly.
WHile checking the IO said it was good that my wife's derivate app under me, and her self 485 App A numbers match. Otherwise, they put it in pending state forever.
I am still in a confused state.IV friends continue to neglect my threads.:D.
I was in L2 EAD and had a A# starting with 1 .Now after filing for GC all my receipt notices have a different A# starting with"0"."Alien number is something like SSN " was my persumption.I had also filled in the applications for GC using the L2 EAD alien number.Attorney never replies.Totally confused.:confused:

Legal immigrants should be considered eligible for GC faster if they invest in a house depending upon the salary structure. This might be a topic for discussion if and when Obama decides to take up immigration.

I agree that option B is the correct choice. They are looking for you to have a stable residency, so having it established as the application time nears makes the most sense. Still, I would consult with an expert or an attorney if you have the opportunity.

Hi All,
I had a question regarding the relationship between the number h1b transfers and green card process. I've heard some people say that if you have transferred H1b to many companies then the green card process will be delayed because USCIS needs to be convinced that you will be continuing with the same employer. Is this true or does it really not matter how many times you change employers it doesn't effect the green card process.
I have already transferred once. I am thinking of transferring one or possible two more times but am just worried about how this will effect the green card application process.
Thanks,
Purushotham Nayak

you can get only one OPT per level of study
ie., one OPT for under-grad
one OPT for grad
one OPT for doctoral
So I doubt if your wife will get another OPT with the new rule but you never know :-)
