Both my husband and I have been using our AP for traveling for the last few years and he uses his EAD for his job. So trying to say that we don't use our H visas but his employers renew them anyway when its time to renew.
Our H visas are about to expire this week and the lawyers sent in the extension paperwork to INS in December. Somehow we never really followed up and recently realized that somehow my husband's H1 application either never reached there or got misplaced since they only sent my H4 receipt even though both were fedexed in the same envelope. His employers are going to file again.
Now we are planning to travel next month. So here are my questions:
1. Can we travel with our applications pending?
2. If INS considers our applications abandoned if we travel, does it make a difference, especially because we don't use our H status for either work or travel?
3. The lawyers are suggesting expedited/premium processing for my husband. How long does it tae these days (Vermont center) and can my H4 be filed along too even though one is pending since December (and I think it will remain pending forever because it has no corresponding H1 so how will they approve the H4)?
Thanks!

The company will have to sponsor the H1 in full. Not enough to just give you an employment verification letter.
Also as per the rules, you cannot pay for the H1. Only the company can pay for it.
Thanks for your reply.I thought it's a possiblity that we can transfer with an employment letter.Looks like its not.

it's catch-22 situation. its easy to get 797, but not VISA, entry to US and most importantly a job in this economy. same as housing, cheap prices, but no job security. not to state the obvious but, there is a reason why cap didn't reach in a day.
a good idea though is, apply for H1, get 797 approved. Normally its for 3 years from Oct'09. But don't go for stamping for another year(not sure if u can wait on stamping) or the period legally allowed and don't try to come to US for another six months or the period legally allowed . So u can come to US in 2011, if its allowed legally. does any one know the law?

I have both EB3 and EB2 labor approved and EB2 I-140 approved for the same job requirement in the same company. Here're some details:
labor PD : 03/2005 (EB3)
labor PD : 12/2006 (EB2),
I-140 approved (EB2)
I-485 Applied : 07/2007 with approved EB2 I-140
Is it possible to use my EB3�s PD for my EB2 application? If so, what�s the procedure.
Thanks a lot!
You can get your EB3 PD. Your lawer needs to write to the USCIS to port your PD. Attorney here would give you more details and wait for them to respond.

Hi,
I f there is one word difference between first name in marriage certificate and birth certificate will that be basis for rejection of application or will it just be RFE?
First name on the birth certificate and passport is the same but instaed of "ta"there is "tha" in marriage certificate .Due holiday ,it is just impoossible to get affidavit by tonight.
Please I sincerely appreciate your opinion what should be done in such case?
Wait till 16th evening ,hoping to get affidavit which may or maynot be possible or just go ahead and submit application now?
Thank you so much.

I have lived in GA for 5 years...but here is what I found on GSU's site (the school I would like to go to, looks like they have a specific policy):

United States and the establishment of domicile in the State of Georgia at least 12 months prior to the first day of classes for the term in which they are seeking payment of the in-state tuition rate.
One or more of the following documents should be submitted as proof of taking the appropriate steps toward U.S. legal permanent resident status.
I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record)
Form ETA - 9089 Alien Labor Certification Application

Gurus,
My contract pre-maturly ended on Sep 27, 2008. I was on hourly rate on W2. So far I haven't find any assignment. I don't get paid.
Am I eligible for unemployment benefits. Has anyone claimed this. Are there any future disadvantages if you show unemployment.
Please let me know
Thanks and Regards
I am not sure about contracting positions, but if you were a full-time employee of a company and are laid-off, then you are eligible to claim unemployment benefits, which is true for GC holders, too.

I recently sponsored for my uncle and his wife and had no problems. Just send the sponsor docs with I-134, letter to consulate etc. Uncle had to provide info on his ties back in India.
My last name was not same as uncle's ( guess that is what your doubt is) and that was not an issue at all.
Thanks a lot gcbackup. This is what I was looking for.
