I am in a lot of stress. Please help out if possible.
Six years on my H1B expire in April 2008. I just got laid off from company A. My last day of work will be May 31st. I have LC and I-140 approved with company A.
If I join company B starting June, and transfer my H1B to B, can it extend my H1B beyond 6 years based on the approved I-140 I had with company A? If yes, will it be for one year or three years?
Gurus please help. I will be grateful.
Thanks
Hello Chitta:
Please check the following link from "Immigration.com".

As per it, you can get a 3 yr-extension as long as your existing company doesn't revoke your I-140 (and it wouldn't as you are not leaving on your own). So you should be fine. Good-luck for your next job.

There goes the supplemental bill and any hopes of getting any relief by Feb 15th.

However, logiclife has indicated that there is a very good chance of CIR being debated in the Senate sometime in March so we should get ready for that now. Folks who were opposed to I-485 provision must be having a great day today. :)

Democrats have taken control of senate also...
I don't think that Dems are quite there yet. I thought I saw CNN reporting one seat in Virginia still undecided. This is the seat where Allen's the incumbent. He is trailing by a thin margin, and I suppose there'd be a recount here. It appears Allen may lose his senate seat in Virginia thanks to his infamous utterance. In that case Dems have the majority.
If GOP were to retain majority in Senate and Dems in House, what would be fate of the congress? Will anything pass through both houses?

Thank you for sharing with me your support for comprehensive immigration reform. I appreciate hearing from you and share your concerns.
While the United States cannot afford to absorb all those who want to settle here, we are a nation of immigrants. My mother came to the United States from Lithuania with her parents when she was two years old, and our family created a new life in Illinois. It is a testament to the greatness of this nation that the son of an immigrant can rise to represent the state of Illinois in the Senate.
At the same time, our nation faces a host of problems as a result of years of inattention to our immigration policies. The Homeland Security Department estimates that about 11 million people in the United States do not have legal status, including those who enter the country illegally and those who overstay a temporary visa. I have worked to reform our immigration system comprehensively and in a way that is tough, realistic, and consistent with our moral values.
While there currently is no comprehensive immigration reform bill in the Senate, I recently joined a number of Senators in releasing a blueprint outlining the basic principles that a reform measure should include. The plan would improve border security by increasing manpower and deploying new technology. It would strengthen enforcement against employers who hire illegal immigrants. Today, undocumented workers are often exploited by employers who hire them. Strengthening the penalties for employers who hire undocumented workers will ensure that both immigrants and citizens who work here are protected by our wage and labor laws.
If we are serious about reform, we need a realistic approach to the millions of undocumented immigrants who already live and work in our country. We need to offer immigrants who work hard and demonstrate a long-term commitment to be law-abiding, contributing members of our society a chance to pay fines and earn their way to permanent legal status over the course of many years.
If we do not give people who are already a part of our communities the chance to earn their way to legal status, we will not solve the problem of illegal immigration. People who are living here illegally will stay in the shadows instead of coming forward to register with the government.
Immigration is good for America, but an employer's first job offer should go to any American who is willing and able to fill the job. I have been concerned about the potential impact of past proposals for temporary guest worker programs on the American workforce. In many industries, the assured availability of large pools of guest workers will give employers an incentive to pass over American job applicants in favor of foreigners willing to work for less pay and fewer benefits. During the immigration debate, I offered a Hire Americans First amendment to require employers to seek American workers for their open positions before they try to bring in guest workers. I have also introduced legislation to combat abuses in the H-1B visa program.
There is no perfect solution to the problems we face as a result of our broken immigration system. Today, our borders are not secure, our workplace enforcement laws need reform, and our immigration policy fosters a shadow economy for millions of immigrants who simply want to demonstrate that they can be hardworking contributors to the greatness of our country.
I will continue to work for a package of reforms that will protect American workers and that will be tough, enforceable, economically sensible, and morally defensible. I will keep your views in mind as the debate continues. Thank you again for contacting me. Please feel free to keep in touch.
Sincerely,

I wonder why nobody takes up the cause for H4 visa holders who are mostly women and who becomes completely dependant on their husbands once they enter this country .With retrogression and the endless wait for GC it means losing all the skill sets that you have and all the opportunites that come along just because you donot have a EAD card. Worst of all nobody who speaks so much about womens emancipation seems to care.

These news are common when anyone is in politics. When some one get sudden familiarity other group try to spoil the name. First they tried that her 5th child is not her child but her daughter's child. She immediately announced that her daughter is 5 months pregenant. After that they started that she has immoral relationship. It may be or may not be true. But until it becomes true she may be considered as good wife and Mother.She is inexperienced that is true but if we consider that Obama also inexperienced. So it is just selecton of better evil. But Politicians here is much better transparency,less corrupt,better skilled than majority of countries in the World.
Just to add, Not sure if this is true but there is news that Sarah Palin cheated on her husband, and had a relationship with the business partner of her husband. She is not a good mother, not a good wife, cunning & opportunist politician, with very little experience and a heartbeat away from her finger on the nuclear button when she is ready to go to war with Russia. Watch some 'Sarah Palin' youtube videos and see for yourself.
Now please don't call this "deep sexism", did anyone see Dick Morris around?
There is something about politicians who cannot pronounce the word "nuclear" properly. They all seem to somehow become Presidents. Maybe we should start pronouncing the word "nuclear" differently, it may help us to us to become president. :D

I am not indian, I am chinese, and I attended the rally in DC. I am so touched by you brave indian people. while I feel such a shame that we only had much less chinese there. part of the reason is that IV is originally indian club. we got the message but kind of lack the close organization.
anyway, I am also thinking about another rally.
1, it has to be on weekends, so everyone can come
2. it should be in multiple cities, from coast to coast, all major cities.
DC. NYC, chicago, LA, SF, houston, boston. reserach triangle, seattle etc, where professional immigrants lives most.
3. we need to make sure everyone will come, need good personal organization, not just voluntarily, we need personal contact, conversation, meetings ahead, level by level, to build a good "relationship" with each other.
yes, this is the hard part.
4. we really need to study the illegal immigrant rally last time, how successful they were !!!!
5. honestly, we didn't get much media coverage. shame ! nothing on TV, newspaper frontpage. but--- if we have a huge rally, everyone will have to cover us, pay attention to us. it all depends on us.
Love you guys
we should hurry up

Maybe it was the same woman - I went to DC embassy last year for passport renewal and the lady officer was rude and reckless. she started talking to me in hindi/hurdu, without any regard to whether or not i understood her language. I said stop - talk in english and she fumed at me! i told her i couldnt understand whatever language she was speaking but she refused to speak in english. i somehow gave my papers to her and she processed it. it was like dealing with some foreign embassy.

My lawyer asked me $400 / form as his fees so $1600 lawyer fees to apply for Spouse and mine EAD , AP. Plus $1300 USCIS fees. All this to fill a one page no brainer form. I decided to file it myself but I am sure there are lots of people who will pay them for that and why would they want 2 years EAD when they can make money every year for so little effort.
In this big black hole we are alone, not the govt. nor the lawyers really care for what goes with us. USCIS is just a money making machine for the govt. Rules are made complex and there are several layers of forms. I wonder why a person should go thru 2 stages before filing for I-485. Or why they have 5 different forms filled Labor/I-140/I-485/I-760/I-131 blah blah blah when they could just do it with 1 form like any other country have or may be 2 layers, labor and I-1485. There's no logic of having to file I-140/I-760/I-131. It's all money game...

Please see my comments in RED below
You are reading my post selectively and not in its entirety. I did not say EAD is waste and useless, I said EAD is waste and useless without the removal of semilar or same job requirement in AC21 as USCIS will sooner or later deny AOS based on semilar\same job requirement. Do you know how many RFE\denial notices have been issued by USCIS to EAD\Ac21 workers? There is an entire thread running into several pages related to that. Scores of people wrote to USCIS ombudsman complaining about USCIS issuing denial notice to people whose I140 was revoked by previous employer even though Ac21 says AOS continues even if I140 is rovoked by previous employer. There are instances where USCIS has issued rfe to prove they are in a same\semilar job. History has shown USCIS uses issues like same\semilar job to kick people out. Based on the IO adjudicating your case, based on the economic climate etc USCIS has made life difficuly (current h1b crackdown is a example).
What I am saying is bring in protection to AOS by
-removing the same or semilar job requirement in AC21
Its not that easy to make this adjustment. If you take out this clause a person can work any where and this is more like a green card. For example a software person can even work in a gas station. I am afraid, this cannot be done as easy as you think.--- Again, I am not saying that it should not be done; all I am saying is let us keep this as a separate item
-making sure USCIS does not deny AOS when previous employer revokes aproved i140.(even though ac21 says aos cannot be denied, USCIS is sending denail notice).
There were several request mails already sent to USCIS ombudsman about this issue. Let us not mix up again.
Yes EAD is absolutely better than H1b but not for long, when people start using EAD instead of H1b, -- This issue will come only if I change my job. If I want to be with same employer I will have flexibility of using EAD (with out the need to extend H1, Visa Stamping)
USCIS will start denying AOS based on Same\semilar job or other grey areas (not working on EAD because of lay off) then you are back to square one. If you are on EAD and AOS is denied you are out of status like H1b. -- This will come in to picture if I want to use AC21.
Close the loopholes first before you open the pre filing AOS. Your statement regarding not work at all on EAD is not correct. USCIS can issue rfe\denial notice for lack of job. I hope it was true that it does not matter if you are not working at all on EAD.
Also please remember that the percent of AC21 denials are compartively less when you compare with total number of people who successfully used AC21... we already have a separate compain for AC21 denials where lots of people have already sent mails CIS ombudsman.
If I am wrong please correct me.
Thanks

Does anybody know how long an H1B visa can remain valid (including grace period) after a layoff ? What I know, is an H1B technically becomes invalid the day you stop rendering your services to your employer. The firm's lawyer suggested me to file for B1/B2 visitors visa to avoid going out-of-status.
If I do that, can I transfer my H1B visa (from B1B2) once I get a job? Or will I have to struggle against some quota?
Can anybody suggest a good lawyer in New York City or near Hoboken, NJ who can help we with all this? I tried contacting Cyrus Mehta, but he seems to be booked for another week.
Btw, thanks for the overwhelming response to my request for resources to find a job. While I am evaluating my options, please keep me in consideration for any openings that you see.
Thanks.
Technically there is no grace period. Get a job ASAP and you need 2 pay-stubs for transfer.You can even do without pay-stubs but you may have to go out for I-94. Best way is to transfer to B1/B2 and you can come back to H1b without any problem.
