>>you can have mutiple h1-s at any time
no empl cancels h-1 and you can go back to first h-1 without any problem
this is right, and i was wrong. Only tricky point here is as long as they are all fresh H1s, not H1 transfers.  |

tk mayya u can always come back to the prev company h1b(keeping in my mind employer won't cancel)..BUT GC appudu there are more chances that it would goto RFE if the period during which u switched falls in that GC processing period(Labour apply chesina daggara ninchi period) |

Yes one time one company thats the rule I know
>>That company need not be the latest company. For example you can apply for H1 and after approval you might decide not to join the latest company. But going back forth is tricky and complicated for employment documentation.

If she is on Second H1, travel outside the country and reneters on second H1, First H1 is no more valid.
You can have any number of H1's. But can work one for one company. That company need not be the latest company. For example you can apply for H1 and after approval you might decide not to join the latest company. But going back forth is tricky and complicated for employment documentation. |

while coming back they will ask if you are still working for the company. you have to say yes/no. which ever you say, will be recorded in database and may come up later point of time(GC or next H1). |

1) Is there any limit how many H1B one person sould have at a time?
As far as i know, only one H1 is valid. The one you entered the country or the one which is approved latest, though you can delay joining the company a little bit.
So even though there is no limit howmany H1s approved for you, you can be working for only one company.
>>Can he/she work 1st month in first company and then 2nd month in second company and thried month in the first company.
As per rule your first company should cancel the H1 after you left the company.
So legally this is not valid. But if the first company did not cancel your H1, you can go back.
and switching once like that might be overlooked but probably a RFE material for GC purposes. |

Well! While your wife is away, you can still file for I-140 and 485. I guess you can still file for advanced payrole and work permit (But shouldn't use it). If you use it, you lose your H1 status. Hence she may not apply for H4. This is the problem only if there is any issue arises with your H1B approval. Your H1B approal isue is more associated with your wife being outside more than any thing. |

My GC labor got filed after all the formalities 10 days ago.

Paying that $750 from my pocket is one idea.
Legally employer must pay this. If you want you can force him to pay.
Unfortunately you have wait unspecified time to know the apporval status even after paying the $750 fee. Only way to get the result is paying $1,000 premium fee.
Since filed in PERM (when did you file?) you should get you approval very soon. Hopefully you don't need any of these. While you H1 is pending you can still work. In 90 days you will get work permit so no need of H1. Hoever it could be still issue for your family if they are outside (Changing to advanced payrole cause problems for them). |

However I have conerns about your current company.
1. Lawyer or you company arguing about paying $750 after you get RFE is quire amazing (It is OK not paying the fee first time many time INS may not notice).
2. Not bothering about adv being expired.
If the immigration matteres are neglected you will suffer in the end not the employer! |

Be serious about you current H1 and talk to your current employer about paying fee and getting the aproval if you are planning to stick to the current company (is it the full time job with the client?). if your GC is applied through PERM/EB2 you should be Ok. |

Not necessarly! Now a days H1B's are taking lot of time. But fee must be paid. Otherwise assume rejection.
>I have a H1B and my family H4's from some one
Do you mean you transfered your H1 to someother company?. With out paystubs means you have not started to work for that company. Hence your spuse can't apply through that company. It means you are taking a big chance.
What is preventing you to work for the new employer? Are you looking for the project through them? Since you are saying that she will be attending the visa in 4/5 months, you have alteast 2/3 latest paystubs through new company she will be OK. |

One more question. I have a H1B and my family H4's from some one else. Is it a good idea to go for Visa stamping with that H1B(with no pay stubs as I work for this employer)?

>>Adedo $750 extra pay cheyyali nuvvu ani letter
They would deny the case if $750 is not paid. Is it related to 25 employee are 2nd or subsequent H1b Extension. You can get waiver of the fee only if H1B extension applied 3rd time (First when you tranfer, second when extension is filed).
They would give only one chance to answer the query. If they deny again you need to file Form 290B motion to repopen that would cost you money for filing fee and lawyer fee if you use lawyer + the 750 file. Better to take care of it NOW. Demand your employer to show you the reposne and proof that they paid the fee.
Hope this helps |

If you or your employer can afford $1,000 best thing is toconvert the case to Premium. You will get the result in 10 business days.
or else since 150 days are passed ask your lawyer/employer to write a letter.
and ask them to call national customer service centre (you can also call saying your are represnting the company not the benificary) 1800 375 5283.
As long as it is pending you are fine.Now a days H1 are taking lot of time. I am sure you want to get it approved sooner. H1 transfers rarely get rejected. By the way what is the Additonal Info that is required. |

My family planning India trip and the US Consulate in Chennai has a waiting period of 5 months for visa appointment. Without approved H1B, I cannot block dates. Even though we can block dates with receipt number what will happen if the petetion is rejected? All sorts of confusion.
venu mama if you don't have approved h1b u shouldn't block appointmenet too risky, me company vaadu file chesi INS number vachina daggara ninchi u can work for him but inka h1b approve kaaledu antunaaru..also valid h4 visa unte(inka expire avvandi, expiration date kaalla return vastaaru anukonte) no need of stamping, as at any point of time u can have 3 different companies h1bs..take my suggestion and call sheilamurthy or rajeshkanna,they might charge u but its worth it..immigration.com lo post cheyyandi venu mama u will get response |

Venu mama chala chikke vachindi gaa.
Try talking to UCIS representative.( even if it takes an hour of holding)
also Try sending an note from attorney requesting an update on the status. (not sure if this is entertained)
Regarding to your family trip.. did the h4 already expired and are waiting for the H4 extension?? ala ayithe India vellatam kastam. If they still have validity of H4, unless the trip is not so long they can go and come back before the expiry.

1) Wait 30 mins till u willbe connected to the customer service guy and clarify ur doubt with them
2) First block the dates in chennai embassy, attend for the visa if the petition gets approved and if the petition gets rejected don't attend for the visa.. |

MODS, plz retain this till the end of the day!
Brothers,
I have a question regarding my H1B extension filed some time back. On Feb 1st 2005 my H1B extension was filed by my company. It got into this "Additional Info Required" loop in March. USCIS asked for some clarification and the company submitted this and they recieved on 15th March 2005.
From than on when ever I call USCIS, the Auto message system says "There was some additional info requested and was recieved on 15th March, such cases take 90 to 150 days for processing, but as preliminary processing was complete, this may not take that long"!!!!
Now my question is, even today when I call it has the same thing to say!! It is already seven and half months!! The company lawyer when ever I talk to him says the 150 day deadline is over and they have written to USCIS and are expecting a reply!!
The company says, as long as the case is active I am fine and need not worry!
But my concern is, what's the problem that is holding the application(that too an extension application), for so long? Can I talk to a representative in USCIS(I tried to call and it says I need to hold for more than 30 minutes)?
Is there a way that I can call them(or e mail tham) and get a quick reply?
I don't know what to do!!
My family planning India trip and the US Consulate in Chennai has a waiting period of 5 months for visa appointment. Without approved H1B, I cannot block dates. Even though we can block dates with receipt number what will happen if the petetion is rejected? All sorts of confusion.
Plz suggest what are the ways! |
