I was in a similar situation, and they got my PP H1 because of my overseas travel.
If you get a H1 extension before you travel, you can show the new H1 (I-797) at the POE and the inspector will stamp Mar 08 on your new I-94.
If your H1 is not approved by the time of your return, you can have Mar 07 on your I-94, and your extension approved thereafter is valid. The I-797 will have a I-94 that'll be valid till Mar 08.
The gray area, it seems, is if your H1 is approved when you are outside the country. In that situation, apparently, you need to get a visa stamp before you re-enter US. If you think that you could be in this situation, check with an attorney. I think they call this the "Last Action Rule".
I have my H1-stamping and I-94 valid until March 07, My H1 extension was applied during Nov - 06, but not approved yet....In the mean while, can I visit India and return by Feb 07 ? On my return, I will still get my I-94 till March 07, but Once my H1 extension is approved it will have the I-94 attached to it till Mar 08, is this I-94 valid ?
My employer is saying that, the new I-94 that I got from my H1-extension is not valid and they have to file a new H1 OR I have to convert the H1 extension to Premium and travel with the approved H1 extension ?
Please advise. Thanks

The LA Lakers are perhaps the most popular basketball team in the world, but, of course, my loyalty is to the hometown Memphis Grizzlies. One of my favorite players, Spaniard Pau Gausol, left Memphis for the Lakers last year and I still like the guy. Here are the Lakers international team members: Pau Gasol - Forward/Center - Spain Didier Ilunga-Mbenga - Center - Congo Sasha Vujacic - Guard - Slovenia Sun Yue - Guard - China

What a great innovator with loafty goals.
I saw this guy on CBS 60 minutes and it was truly inspirational. He is not just an "Immigrant of the day" but an great intellect.
How come only one (OP) in this "Hi-tech-hi-skilled" immigrant community take note of this??
Have a great day.

Query on behalf of a friend -
What are the timelines for I-539 Change of Status for H1 to H4?
Is premium processing option available for the this change of status?
Friend worked till last week of pregnancy (clean H1 history before). Her 12 weeks of maternity leave is ending soon and looks like the family needs to pay attention to child's condition and she has no choice but to become a full-time mom (another full-time job in itself though). She was in status during her maternity leave (some part of which was covered by STD insurance, remaining unpaid leave totaling 12 weeks under FMLA). She needs to change her status from H1 to H4.
- File for H1-H4 ASAP with in the unpaid leave window
- No premium processing available for H4

An H-1 petition filed by a new employer should have no direct impact on your AC-21 GC process. Because you are not currently in a valid non-immigrant status, you are not eligible for a change of status in the US. In any event, the petition would not be valid before 10/1/2010 assuming the employer is not cap exempt. So, you would have to travel out of the US to apply for the H-1 visa to be stamped in your passport. To be safe, you should make sure you have a valid AP with you before travelling just in case there is a problem ofr delay at the consul.

Today I got CODE 1 FP notice, is this a positive sign?
I requested(May 02nd) USCIS to approve my case using "Cross-Chargeability", since my wife was born in non-retro country. But from June 01st, my PD (India) also becomes current.

I came in US with my family when I was 15-16, back then we were on L2, then as time passed by we switched to H4. Then I turned 21 so I had to go on Student Visa (F1). Still living in US legally.
Now my question is I've been staying in US over 10 years now, legally. I dont know if its rumor or not, but someone told me, that you can apply for Green Card if you lived in US over 10 years legally, is that true?
Going through all that H1B process sounds really hectic. Also all my family members, friends and relatives are here, I don't know anyone back in my birthplace. any suggestions or tips, would help a bit.
thanks :)
No you can not. If you were illegal you could but if you are legal you can not. H1B is the only route for you.

HI ,
My brother graduated in Dec 08 and is on OPT now. He is with a consultant and he was wondering if there is any rule which states that folks on OPT should get a job in 3 months, otherwise the OPT will not be valid.
Can any one please clarify.
Thank you for your time

Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer Has Just Posted the Following:
Nearly 300 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions were arrested last week in Texas, the Dallas Morning News (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/texassouthwest/stories/022510dnmeticeraids.1572cfa1e.html) reports. The largest number of arrests, 119, were in North Texas. According to the article:
Of the total, about half of the immigrants had convictions for violent crimes or drug offenses. Most of the crimes were committed in the United States, authorities said.
The arrests, though, raises questions about why the immigrants hadn’t been deported earlier, immediately after they'd served their time for criminal convictions.
A new program, called Secure Communities, seeks to link jail staff with federal data banks to ensure that those with criminal convictions are removed from the country. There are only 110 jail locations in the country that now use the program.
Secure Communities has come under scrutiny for the relatively low number of persons caught who have been convicted of violent crimes – or what’s known in ICE as a "level one" offense.
Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Irving, Mesquite and Dallas and Denton counties are among the jurisdictions using Secure Communities processes. The program began in November 2008.

Hi,
My wife has FP appointment scheduled for 12/29/07, She is in india now. I have returned from india today only(12/28) and saw the FP appointment. Can i reschedule FP one day before the appointment date? If i send the reschedule request today will USCIS accept it? since there is only one day left. Please advice me.
Thanks,
Sunil.
Hi Sunil
On 11/27 last month you said that you had received your FP appointment notice and you want to reschedule it . Did you not do it at that time ? Is this the second time you want to reschedule.
The procedure is the same as explained in your first post and yes you can reschedule it one day before it is due ( but I would strongly advise against it if this is the second time you want to reschedule ).
But I guess since your wife is in India you have no choice. Consult your lawyer also in this case so as to keep him in the loop and get his advise also.

At the time of filing my application I just used one address.
Somehow I didn't know you could use Permanent address and current address.
You have used "one" address in I485, the same should be reflected in G325 - Consult with your lawyer.
I'm not sure but I guess my lawyer didn't file G325 form.
Is filing G325 form something mandatory ?
G325 is mandatory, if you or the lawyer has not sent to USCIS, you will get an RFE
I've moved recently.
I want to change the address now but want to give a new address (which is not the address I moved to .)
Should it be fine?
Thank you.
File AR11 online with USCIS, plain and simple.
