Today, our AP status has changed to "Document mailed to applicant". Does this mean that they have mailed the approval document or is it an RFE document?
For most of the applicants the status has turned to "Approval Notice sent" but mine is different. Is anyone in the same boat.
I got the same status yesterday. No email. I guess it is approval.

Can someone suggest how I can go about getting some clarification from USCIS regarding the usage of H1 post AP (i.e. in Parolee status, can a person use H1 797 approval to work)
Yes, there's the May 2000 interim memo (which is unfortunately not available from the USCIS website though) and even the memo is not very clear on the subject.
I was thinking of writing to the Ombudsman and having them get this clarified. We get different opinions from different lawyers. I'd like one straight answer from the authority who's "interpretation" matters : USCIS.
So, can IV take this forward with the Ombudsman or should I file a 7001 or something with them?
Thanks,

Hi All,
I am here in US on a H1B and my wife is on a H4. She recently got admission to a graduate school and has to start next week. I am worried that if I get her COS for the next semester (this is a 1 year program), then woud she be eligible to get her OPT at the end of the program? She would have been on a F1 for less than a year, but would have completed the Master's program.
I tried to get more information, but what I saw was that the OPT eligiblility requirement is atleast 1 full academic year on F1. Is this correct?
Help is greatly appreciated.

You can still get a 1 year extension claiming that your PERM application is still pending. It all depends on the officer that the decision has not been made on PERM application.

I just noticed that the I-140 my lawyer submitted 3 months ago to Nebraska has a typo in my DOB (21/07/2978 instead of 21/07/1978). Yes its a thousand years out! A copy of my latest I-94 and visa both showing my correct DOB were also submitted with the I-140.
Do any of you guys think I'll have the I-140 rejected, recieve an RFE, or will the Nebraska officer just use common sense and amend it himself? What do you reccomend I do if anything?

amindarshana: (1) keep checking whether you check cashed or not (2) if 45 days passed from your SR open date - you will have to reconstruct your entire 485 packet and include delivery proof, and a copy of the check that you had sent. - check with your attorney.

It is a case to sign in native language...
Well, if you forgot to fill the native language thing but signed the form, you don't have to worry about anything. Although the form is incomplete, the officer has no way of knowing for sure that your native alphabet is other than English... You may or may not get an RFE on this later...

Most of these employers have a standard templates for H1 application and all they do is FIND & REPLACE to modify it to suit each individual applicant. In my case the person who was modifying it for me changed my Name in most places except one place where it was still saying the name of some other person. So the application was like this
This is visa petition for Mr XXX ..............
Mr XXX has degree in MS Comp Sci and Mr ABC has finished his undergraduate in .....
I had not seen this till the day I was leaving for Canada for my stamping & I panicked but then there was not much I could do so I decided to take a chance and the VO did not ask me for the petition and even if he has I am not sure how keenly he would have read it. It was a genune oversight not any falsification and definately I was not to be held responsible. But in your case since it is degree issue it is better to talk to a lawyer though statistically VO does not have time to read through the visa peition its just too long for the time they have allocated for the interview.

Hi, I wanted to know if it is possible for me to maintain my H1 status (and my wife's H4) status while re-entering the US using I-131 Advance Parole document without a valid H1 visa stamp in my passport.
Here's my situation: -
1. I have been on H1 status for the past 6+ years.
2. My current employer filed for an H1 renewal/extension petition for years 7-9 which has been approved and we have the approval notice.
3. My wife's H4 renewal petition has also been approved.
4. We both have filed for I-485 Adjustment of Status which is pending with USCIS due to retrogression.
5. Our H1 & H4 visa stamps in the passport expired in September of 2009.
6. We are planning to leave the US for about a month in Nov-Dec and do have valid I-131 documents for purposes of re-entering.
At the port of entry, can we show our H1/H4 approval notices to the IO and request that he stamp our new I-94s for a H1/H4 status?
Thanks
Showing H1/H4 notice will lead to confusion and @POE, officer will not issue I-94 per H1/H4 notices. Rather, you show your AP and re-enter the country, and your I-94 will be issued as Parolee w/ the validity of 1 year. You can still work for your H1B employer in H1 status and continue to renew when it expires. My 2 cents.

Thanks for replying, i have some more questions related to this
Lets say my current employer is A and next employer is B
1. Do employers normally revoke I140 when employee leaves ?
Most of the time, No. It's waste of money for employers to pay for the lawyer to send in a request to USCIS to revoke I-140. This will be more common if the lawyer is on company's payroll and gets paid a fixed amount and not per case basis.
2. If my first PERM and I140 was under EB3 category, then can i switch to EB2 category with the next company ?
Yes. As long as job qualifies/requires EB2.
3. Suppose i leave A and Join B, and after 2-3 months i join another company C, in this case will C be able to port my I140 from A ?
You can't port I-140 period. It is property of the company that filed it. Company C (D,E,F...Z) will need to redo labor, I-140 etc. Priority date can be recaptured.

Is that normal to have the same I-94 number on my renewed H1B and my wife's H4 approval notices?
Seems it is a mistake that my old I 94 is given in H4 extension application. Do I need to apply for correction? Any Lawyer / Member, please confirm. Thanks in advance.

My PD is Nov 24th 2005. EB2- India. Filed @NSC
Dates are current for my priority date. Havent heard anything USCIS on the primary or derivative case.
I opened a SR on 08/6th because the case should have been picked up based on their processing times. Haven't yet received any response on this.
I want to schedule an infopass appointment however looks like we need to wait for 30 days from the date of opening an SR, before scheduling this appointment.
Has anyone got slapped on the hand for not following this?
I have also sought help from my senator, however no useful information has come out of it.
Are their any other options available?

Hi
I completed my 6th year H1B in April 2010 and am currently on a 7th year extension based on a pending PERM application with my current employer.
I am currently considering taking an offer from a new employer who is willing to process my H1b transfer and my question is:
1) Is it possible to transfer a 7th year extension to a new employer given that PERM will still be pending?
2) If yes, will I need to give them any evidence regarding the pending PERM as I don't have any document on it except the receipt number from DOL.
3) My current H1b expiration date is in April 2011. If the new employer files for an H1b transfer in July 2010, will I get the same H1b expiration date or a new one (i.e. July 2011)?
This is important in my case because my wife who is currently a LPR will be eligible to become a US Citizen in June 2011 and I will likely not need to go through the PERM process.
Any advice on the above will help a lot.
Thank you!!!!!

Overtime is paid only if you are a non-exempt employee - usually means you get paid hourly. If you are an exempt employee, then you are not eligible for overtime. Not sure if this is different in different states, but that is how it works in Ohio.
Same is true here in CA (Only non-exempt employees get overtime).
Again, check with your state agency regards to overtime pay..... or consult a employment attorney...
