I want to transfer from H1B to F1.I came to US as a F1 and graduated in march 08.I got my H1B on oct 08.But now i want to transfer to F1 again and i had my visa till 2011. I had following doubts and please help me.
1) I heard that i can transfer to F1 from H1B without canceling(but deactivating H1B) is it true.
2) How much time does it take if i apply for change of status for F1?
3)can i take cpt in F1 and later on can i change to H1 by applying change of status?
Before answering your question...I want to know this.
You got your H1B in Oct 2008. That means your status changed from F1 to H1. Now its March 2009. So all these period are you employed and have the pay stubs for the same. If you dont have then you are out of status and you can not change the status to F1. If you want to change the status, you need to be in status first.

Given the general apathy and hatred towards the term 'H1B' most anti immigrant groups after the rally are likely to come up with headlines/captions for their stories such as 'H1B Temporary workers rally in Washington' and so on. During the flower campaign I happened to come across such a headline on steireport.com, 'H1B workers in flowery protest' or something on similar lines. These anti immigrant groups deliberately downplay the term 'High Skilled Immigrants'.
Since most of us have filed for AOS under the revised August visa bulletin we are termed as Adjustees. As we all know adjustees can stay in this country without a visa under the protection of the Attorney General of the United States. Also we are aware of that adjustees are given EAD to work and AP to travel in and out of the country which are special rights till their case is decided. I think we should highlight this point if we come up across forums/interviews which use the 'H1B workers' stick to beat down our rights as 'Adjustees under the protection of the Attorney General of the US'.
Just a thought I wanted to share it with this community. If not found relevant to the cause please feel free to delete this post.

I know this is irrelevant in a way but see it from a different angle for one moment. There is no other forum where you can get any information about these H1 employers who are playing games using retrogression. This is the only forum where most of the people on H1 are related to some desi consulting company and can share their experiences which would help other people who are in huge pain due to the unfair practices of their existing employers.
I would recommend the administrators to create a separate area on this forum where people can share these experiences and find genuine employers.
Not in this forum I would argue. There are other places.

Even i have the same problem. I filed my I485 on July 2nd. I have a another labour from different company. I want to use the new labour. My current employer with whom i have my new labour told me to put stop payment on the 485 checks given to USICS so that they will send the 485 application packet back. I am not sure whether we can do
a stop payment to USICS. Spoke to couple of employers and heard that they usually do that for H1B(stop payment). Please adivse.

Hi,
we are take a cruise to Alaska this summer, on our way back the ship docks in Victoria, British Columbia for a day.
I am currently on AP, which I plan to use for re-entry into the US. Haven't renewed my H1 visa.
I understand that I need to apply for a Canadian Visitor's Visa.
there are a list of documents that I need to send to the consulate, including my passport and US Visa documents (ofcourse). Since my H1 visa is no longer valid, I was wondering if I need to send my AP document (or would a copy be sufficient)?? Do i need to prepare a separate application with supporting documents for my wife, or can I just include her in my application?
All this seems like to much of a hassle :mad:, considering that it's just a few hours in Canada itself, not to mention it's going to put me back by a couple of hundred $$ atleast.
Thanks in advance.

YOu might have already tried this - pls try emailing any school association there (Indian Students Association) - that might turn up good contacts. They are a couple of good universities out there like Chapel Hill...
Thanks for the suggestion but We need people who are stuck in retrogression. Professionals who have a story to tell. They should be IV members too.

I am planning to file Labor in EB2. My Attorney sent job requirement which needs Master's + 1 year experience. But my current salary is almost 20k less than prevailing wage (level 4) for senior software engineer. But currently my salary equivalent to wage level 2.
I think i may get query at i140 , But Lawyer suggested Employer would need to be able to demonstrate their ability to pay the difference between actual salary and the prevailing wage at the time of the I-140 filing .
I am unable to get clear picture on wage levels. If i mention Level 2 , will this qualify for EB2?
Any suggestions on this.
Thx
You should be drawing enough pay check to file under EB2 as of prevaling wage.Becareful..lot of screening is going on in PERM..
goto dol website and you can determine which level you belong to...

That is may not correct. Stuart Anderson was never a lobbist. But he did play a key role in AC21 law. Back then Stuart was Legislative Director for Sen. Abraham (R-MI). Stuart worked with key staffers across the aisle to recapture and pass other favorable provisions in AC21. In that sense, Stuart always had a front row seat to witness things unfold in front of him. This is what makes his book so unique.
According to the website, Stuart is Adjunct Scholar at CATO institute and he is executive director of another policy institute called NFAP.

My attorney has asked for the I-485 to be printed:
double sided with Flip to Top option.
Did anyone else do the same?
for what its worth I printed mine single sided. I hope USCIS is not as nitpicky as your lawyer. I printed in black ink, maybe if it was pink or green or orange they might raise an eyebrow, otherwise I hope they dont really care

The Original Post said he was contracting for Federal Govt. It is possible to contract with most Depts on H-b, EAD , GC regardless of your immigration status.
It is not true, that it is not possible to work in Fed Govt on H1 or EAD. Hundreds of contractors work for the Federal govt in DC area who are on H1-Bs.

Does anybody know what the best consulates (preferably in Mexico) to go for H1B stamps are? I am getting my H1-B transfer approved in the next weeks and I want to go ahead and get the passport stamp in order to travel.
My first H1-B I went to Ciudad Juarez Mexico, and unfortunately I arrived the morning of 9/11/01, I was able to cross onto Juarez shortly after they closed down the borders.. Bad experience all in all. took 4 days longer to get back home to San Antonio and had to take a bus.
In 2004 I went to the consulate in Matamoros and it was the worst. They DID not have a record of me ever having made an appt for a visa stamp (even though I called and scheduled one) and again, the whole ordeal took 3 days too long.
Does anybody know any good consulates? I was told Monterrey Mexico is very good. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Back in 1982, when I left the INS to enter private practice, the number of H-1 visas was unlimited. All professionals, including registered nurses, were eligible for H-1 visas. Also, there was no maximum duration for H-1s. U.S. employers could petition for H-1 workers all year long, yet the program did not generate the amount of controversy that it does today. It was a market-based system which allowed U.S. employers to fill jobs in a global economy, plain and simple. The Immigration Act of 1990 ushered in the present era of government control of �H-1B� temporary visas. For the first...

Dear Friends,
First of all, I'm really thankful to immigrationvoice.com to create such a lovely community.
My question and your advice
I'm currently working in Company A, My first 3 years visa is going to get expire on SEP-2009.
My current company has some issues, so If I apply my extension through my company I won't get my extension for sure.
So I contacted Company B , and applied for my H1 Transfer, they filed my H1 Transfer on 04/10/2009 through normal processing. I would like to know whether I need to switch from Normal processing to Premium Processing. If yes, then what's the procedure. I really appreciate all your time and efforts in answering my questions.
Thanks :)

with your attorney and employer. There is nothing you can gain by worrying about it. If they issue an RFE, then you will ready.
USCIS will not outright deny applications with mistakes as far as I can tell (I am no expert). There may be RFEs or NOID to which you can take proper action.

dear friends,
My cousin brother (15 yrs old) has been recently diagnosed with blood cancer. He is going under treatment at TATA memorial hospital in mumbai. I have posted this before in a different thread and thanks to all for giving me valuable information. The doctors gave him a good chance for recovery. He is going through several bone marrow treatments and regular blood transfusion. We need O+ blood. I would be grateful if anybody can give me some names of prospective donors or donor groups and their contact details in mumbai. Due to urgency of the matter I will keep this thread visible by bumping up occasionally. If you wish you can e-mail me the details at sounakc@gmail.com
warm regards

Hi- My stamping on my passport expired on Sep'2008 (over 19 months now). But, my I-797 is valid till Aug'2012. I plan to get my visa re-stamping done when I go to India in May'10.
1. Will there be any issues?
2. What am I supposed to say for this question in the visa application website?
"Are you applying for the same class of visa which is currently valid or has expired within the past 12 months?*" (YES/NO)
The VFS website says the following:
"The following applicants do NOT qualify for appointments in the visa renewal category:
Applicants who have a U.S. visa that expired more than 12 months ago.
"
Thanks.
