Hi All,
I sent h1b extension application to california center on june 22nd and my application is still not approved. My current visa was valid until July 30th. I need to travel to India on Dec 10th due to urgent reasons . Please suggest what should I do
1. Can I travel while my extension is pending?
2. Can I raise a service request to speed up the processing?
2. or Upgrading to PP is the only option?
I do have EAD and advance parole through my husband's GC application. If I use parole for travel what happens to my H1b visa and GC application filed through my employer. My visa will still be valid or not?
Please help...
Thanks in advance

Answers:
1. There is nothing/ no one who can stop you from travelling if you want. The question to worry about is can you come back ;) (I know it is a smart alec answer, but couldn't resist it - and that is indeed the bottom line).
2. SR to speed up processing might not be of much help
3. PP will certainly make it time bound - however, even in case of PP, they can send the application for administrative process, which can still take more than the time you have
Now, what happens in case you travel while the application is still pending? Your application for extension will be considered abandoned, and for re-entry, you will necessarily need to use AP. And since your extension is considered abandoned, you will necessarily need to use EAD to work, even for your current employer (that had filed the extension).
Hope it helps.

I am on EAD. my priority date is Oct 2003 EB3.
I got new job that requires security clearance, so applied and got preliminary security clearance and started working as a contractor at Federal worksite.
Now i got letter from Department of homeland security saying i am not allowed to work at Federal worksite because my Adjustment of status is pending from Aug 2007, also saying Contact USCIS to get resolved or provide evidence i am in touch base with USCIS regards to this matter.
Since my priority date is not current, USCIS is not going to anything.
While applying this job i gave my EAD copy. They accepted Now i do know why i got this letter ?
IS there any one had same kind of situation?
Where or whom should I need communicate at USCIS? do they give any letter?
Thanks

How much time we need to wait before we start campaigning for a separate bill like SKIL bill.
I would like IV core team to Initiate some work, the work which volunteer like me can take forward. I am not good at lobbying, but I am sure with you folks help, I can do something.
Can super moderators can come up with a master plan, which we can implement at each state. Once one of the moderators commanded that � I like the Idea, but why don�t you volunteer for it, since it is run by a volunteer organization�.
I appreciate your command, but some one can lead it and let us take care of the rest. Initiation is the most difficult.
I too am busy with my work, but for the noble cause and to release the frustration which I had for this EB-system, I can take any trouble.
As I mentioned before, I can contact Sen.Mike DeWine, I met there staff before for some personal reason and they were too nice.
John Boegher ( Forgive my spelling) Majority leader is in my constituency. I can easily talk to him too.
But as an individual, it is practically impossible to make any impact, but as a group, at least 50 people with a several sign petition from each state, if we approach it can make some difference. I have some influence to get it published in Dayton daily news too.
Also if I do it at only Ohio, there may not be an impact, but if we all try to coordinate in different state, at the same time, the massive force can make lot of difference.
We can also include the University student at least can sigh the petition.
Any thought is appreciated, every time in the forum, people says � it s good idea� and leaves at that point, please it is the time, we need to act.
If we agree to my above point, we can start collecting the names and phone No with the state wise. It may take some time but surely we will keep it as backup.
Loosing the battle and telling that we will pack up and go back to India is not the solution, that is coward. I am sure, people who commended, will live for next several years complaining about the system.

As the H1B season (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) still in full force, we would like to share this great tip from AILA. This post discuss where to file H-1B extensions for beneficiaries working for petitioners, which are not cap exempt, but who are "employed at" cap exempt facilities.
The VSC (Vermont Service Center) refers to the September 10, 2009, USCIS Guidance regarding the direct filing address for I-129 petitions, noting that H-1B employers filing petitions which are cap exempt must file such petitions exclusively with the California Service Center.
VSC notes that in this instance, the term "cap exempt" refers only to those petitioners who are exempt from the numerical limitations identified in 8 CFR 214.2 (h)(8)(i)(A). "Cap exempt" petitioners are those described in 8 CFR 214.2(h)(19)(iii), and include:
* Institutions of higher education as defined in section 101(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, 20 U.S.C. 1001(a);
* Nonprofit organizations or entities connected or associated with institutions of higher education, as described in 8 CFR 214.2(h)(19)(iii)(B);
* Nonprofit research organizations or governmental research organizations as defined in 8 CFR 214.2(h)(19)(iii)(C); and
* Petitioners who otherwise would not be "cap exempt," but will be employing the beneficiary to perform job duties at a qualifying cap exempt institution, provided that the beneficiary's duties will directly or predominantly further the normal, primary, or essential purpose, mission, objectives or function of the qualifying cap exempt institution.
All petitions for individuals "employed at" cap exempt facilities will be rejected by the VSC, even if the beneficiary is working for a petitioner which is not cap exempt. So this is a major point to keep in mind.

I just got off the phone with a second level rep at USCIS and am getting really confused with their mixed messaged. before i push any panic buttons can some one please let me know if they had any conversations with the idiotic bunch at uscis and share your conversations with regards to the visa availability for next month. this idiot states that vsc just oversubscribed and that it could be that there wont be any movement on the cases. all this over enthusiasm for nothing - that would really infuriate me. there is a limit to the fuss they can cause and play with emotions.

Oh for windows development you would want to look into WPF. The basic idea is to change the border style for the window to none (don't know the exact c++ way, but a google search should show). Then you will want to draw your own windows and drag areas.
Also its usually best practice to keep the windows the same from app to app.

I think in many ways its advisable to not leave the country until you actually have the approved AP in your hand.
In this case i guess the folks got a bit lucky. The officers at the POE would have to really dig deep into your case details and compare all sorts of dates to probably determine that you left US before you got your AP.
I doubt there is anything that automatically cancels or abandons your application if you travel prior to receiving the AP approval notice.
just my 2 cents.

Did anyone (or spouse) applied for Social Security No. who were using ITIN before, for tax purposes. I have applied for 485 and EAD and plan to apply for my wife's Social Security once I get the EAD. Are there any tax filing implications? How to switch to this new number and still be able to e-file next year (assuming I get EAD this year)?
You are worrying about something too early.
Anyways, next year, you need to write your wife's SSN instead of ITIN in the field on 1040 form where it says "SSN". Usually, in absence of SSN we mention ITIN. but after you get SSN, use SSN.
As far as tax implications, there wont be any tax implication if she gets SSN but does not work. If she does not work then it doesnt really matter whether she has SSN or ITIN, you will be able to file as "Married filing jointly" status (where the tax is the least).
If she does work, you will still be able to file as "Married filing jointly" status but ofcourse, her income would be taxable and you will have to include her income from her W2s also.
Anyways, you have a lot to worry about things before April 2008.
