11/01/2007: House Agreed to H.R. 3043 Labor-HHS FY 2008 Conference Request of the Senate and Appointed House Conferees Yesterday
The House appointed the following members of the House of Representatives to the Senate-House Conference Committee for this legislation: Representatives Obey, Lowey, DeLauro, Jackson (IL), Kennedy, Roybal-Allard, Lee, Udall (NM), Honda, McCollum (MN), Ryan (OH), Murtha, Edwards, Walsh (NY), Regula, Peterson (PA), Weldon (FL), Simpson, Rehberg, Young (FL), Wicker, and Lewis (CA).
The list of the full conference committee: On the House side, Representatives Obey, Lowey, DeLauro, Jackson (IL), Kennedy, Roybal-Allard, Lee, Udall (NM), Honda, McCollum (MN), Ryan (OH), Murtha, Edwards, Walsh (NY), Regula, Peterson (PA), Weldon (FL), Simpson, Rehberg, Young (FL), Wicker, and Lewis (CA). On the Senate side: Senators. Harkin, Inouye, Kohl, Mrs. Murray, Ms. Landrieu, Messrs. Durbin, Reed, Lautenberg, Byrd, Specter, Cochran, Gregg, Craig, Mrs. Hutchison, Messrs. Stevens, Shelby, and Domenici.
Defense appropriation conference committee has already been actively working for the compromise. Open question is whether these bills will be strategically presented separately or in a packet to the White House for the President's signature. We will find it out sooner or later. Please stay tuned.
Now, since the immigrant community has the full list of the members of the Senate-House conference committee, they should actively contact the members of the conference committee to support EB-3 visa number recapture bill and to oppose the H-1B supplemental fee legislation, at least to see that the former immigration bill is agreed to and the latter immigration bill is rejected at the level of conference process within the Congress. TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!! :confused:

Hi Guys,
I am working with company A on H1B, currently on bench (no pay, all vacation used up) and no pay stub. I got an from offer from Company B and have started the H1 transfer process. I would like to know how soon can I join company B. My friend says I can join as soon as USCIS receives the H1B application i.e. as soon as the fedex delivery reciept becomes available I can join the company B.
The lawyer from company B says I need to wait till a reciept notice is received from USCIS.
Who is right? I want to believe the lawyer for obvious reasons (she is a lawyer) but my friend did the similar thing, he joined the day his app was received at USCIS and he was adviced so by his company's lawyer.
A rationale to join on the same day is that when the H1 is approved it will have the start date same as the day USCIS received the app (as that is the requested start date of transfer).
I'd appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

That's the job that I'm very much looking for!
I not really a master webmaster but I did some jobs in the recent past and they were satisfied. :)
I think it is great to have a product intro to your project. since it's dogs it should feature dogs. dogs look great over a white background I think with some text or paragraph on the left. If you will used flash add some dog sounds of different breeds.
That's about all I could think of. Hope it helps!

hello..
My h1 is valid till march 2010.. but the i-94 i have is expiring in Oct.. (i changed my job ..and had been out of US..on the old stamping..)
Can iget it extended staying in US? or do i have to leave get it restamped in desh.. ?
Is it illegal to stay on expired i-94..but witha valid H1?????????
The timing of when you travelled and when your extension was approved are critical. It looks like you travelled after the extension was approved, but you just used the old visa to enter. CIS has a "last action" rule, whereby the last thing they do regarding your status is what governs. If you got an I-94 to October 2009, after the extension to 3/10 was approved, then the 10/09 date governs and you need to file an extension. Alternatively, you could travel and return showing the valid visa and new approval to get the new approval date on the I-94.

USCIS recently issued a Memo that amends Adjudicator�s Field Manual on General Form I-140 Issues. Many issues are covered, but one of particular interest to our PERM (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1135851.html)readers is the Labor Certification Validity for Labor Certifications with an Ending Validity Date that Falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Federal Legal Holiday.
DOL has established a 180-day validity period for approved labor certifications. See 20 CFR 656.30(b). An approved labor certification must be filed in support of a Form 1-140 petition during the labor certification's validity period. DOL has not published any guidance regarding the treatment of labor certifications that effectively have a validity period of less than 180 days due to an ending validity date that falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a federal legal holiday.
USCIS will accept the filing of 1-140 petitions where the supporting labor certification validity period ends on a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday on the next business day, i.e., the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday. This action is most consistent with existing USCIS regulations, which allow cut-off dates for the filing of petitions and applications that fall on a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday to be extended until the next business day. See 8 CFR 1.1 (h). This procedure provides petitioning employers the benefit of the full 180 day validity period for approved labor certifications established by DOL.

Thanks in advance for answering my question:
I have had an EAD from past 2 years, but I also had a valid H1B I was working for company A on H1 and my GC is filed by Company B future employment(and hence the EAD)
- Company A went down last year, so I was laid off, so my H1 lapsed.
- I switched to Company B since I have an EAD through them.
- I am on Company B's payroll currently.
- The company A folks needed help after they were shutdown, I helped and was paid for hours. (doing same and similar work) but not issued a 1099...
Question - I will need to file taxes on those hours, in terms of immigration have I done anything out of ordinary here? I don't know if USCIS and IRS connecected, or I am just being paranoid here?
Thanks!

I wonder if there are any provisions in there that can indirectly help our backlogs as well? Text of bill: http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22907
This has passed House and I was reading in Oh's site that President will sign it soon. Is it possible to throw in some indirect 485 backlog reduction provisions in there?
Oh's report:
07/17/2007: Passport Processing Meltdown to Receive Some Help from Retired Diplomats
Currently, the department is receiving more than 1 million passport applications a month and holds a backlog of about 500,000 that have been pending more than 10 weeks, instead of the usual six to eight The Senate passed S. 966 bill late last month to allow State to rehire retired Foreign Service employees to staff overwhelmed passport processing centers across the country. Retirees now have little incentive to return because current law cuts their salaries by the amount of their pensions. The House yesterday agreed to the Senate bill and passed it yesterday which is likely to grant the State Department the flexibility to rehire retired and fully trained passport processors on a temporary basis to help existing processors manage the increased demand. The President is likely to sign the quickly. Read on (http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cfm?articleid=37485&dcn=todaysnews) (http://www.govexec.com/story_page.cfm?articleid=37485&dcn=todaysnews).
Probably I am jumping the gun here but if I am not, hope this post won't hurt IV's agenda.

Thank you for all the quick replies.
I understand that in october, they might bring up some issues regarding Legal Green Card application.
One of them will be to clear the backlog for those who legally applied for the GC.
Can some kind soul please give me information about this ?
Does this applies to me or does it applies to the Employment based GC or GC application in general ?
Thank you for your time.

I am not an attorney but seeing as noone has answered your question here is my answer.
Extension of H1 based on I-140 is part of AC21 and is intended for applicants who are in the USA in a valid H1 status. Since your H1 would have expired and you would be out of the USA, you cannot avail yourself of that provision. So, you will have to stay out for one year and then apply for a new H1.
An attorney may answer now and correct me if I am wrong.

Guys,
I would appreciate if you could help on this.
I last entered in US using AP and currently working on EAD . My H1 is going to expire in April 2010. I am thinking of renewing it to provide a backup in case anything happens to my 485. I have to go to India in July 2010 and I would like to come back using AP. Pleass let me know which of the following option is best for me.
1. Renew my H1 now and go to India n July and come back using AP.I understand that in this case, if I have to use H1, I would have to go to India and get it stamped.
2. Come back from India in July and renew my H1 after I come back. Is this possible to renew the H1 after it expires and do they give you a I94 in this case?
Please let me know what you think. I need to decide ASAP.
Thanks

First of all you are on OPT and your status has not yet changed to H1. It will change to H1 in October.
Your company can cancel H1 with or without your knowledge.
Your new employer can transfer your H1 provided you have the receipt number EAC or WAC number.
If I were you, I would first get the receipt number from your employer and then join the new company on OPT. Also if things do not work out this way, you still join the new company as you are eligible for 17 months OPT extension, you can still qualify for next years H1.
Best strategy is to use as much time on OPT as possible because in that case you dont have to pay social security and medicare taxes.
