Hi. I realized that I made a mistake when filling out the I 485 Part Three:
Processing Information. Specifically, I filled in the I-94 number issued for my H1B as the "Nonimmigration Visa Number", instead of the visa number I got when I was still in F1 Student status.
I called USCIS twice and they informed me that I can make corrections after I get the receipt--I can send in a corrected form, along with a letter explaining the correction, and also a copy of the receipt.
I was wondering whether anyone here had done that before.
I am kicking myself for misunderstanding the form! Please help!

You can do that using your EAD but that could be considered a violation of H1 status. Not big deal if you do not need to maintain H1. If you want to keep H1, you cannot do that unless you are willing to re-validate H1 later on by leaving US and re-entering on H1.

It's hard to answer your question without more details, such as your current status. Company B can definitely file a new H-1B for you. Your current status will dictate whether you "need" to tell them about the earlier filing. However, having a prior petition filed might not have any negative impact, so you probably don't need to be nervous about telling Co. B.

No one here could possibly know. The FULL price is probably going to be around $900 a month. But his employer would pick up, usually at least half the cost for HIS coverage - or around $250ish.

I am in 6th year of my H1B. It is expiring in Aug 2011.
Here are some details:
- My I-140 is approved with a priority date of Aug 2006 under EB2-India.
- I did not apply for I-485 so I do not have a EAD.
- My wife is also on H1B which expires in Aug 2012.
Here are my questions:
1) If I apply for H1B extension in July 2011 under regular processing and assuming it takes 4-5 months for USCIS to process the application, can I still continue to work? For how many days can I work if visa renewal is still in processing after the visa has expired.
2) If I get a denial of H1B extension do I become out of status from the date of denial or from the day H1B got expired?
3) If I get a denial of H1B extension can I immediately apply for H4 as a dependent to my wife's visa without any issues?
4) If I get a denial of H1B extension, what happens to my I-140? Is it automatically invalid?
5) If I do convert to H4 status and my priority date becomes current can I apply for I-485?
Chances are very high that your priority date will be current before Aug 2011.
good luck

I agree it's kind of boring, but on the other hand it might be "photo contest artsy"... you never know with a selection jury! :)

Dear Vatsa,
I'll tell you what it takes.
It takes strength, both in membership and money. And the former helps bring the latter.
Please help introduce a member to IV by Jan 15th. Help create our own voice (to break the annoying silence that you talk about).
Encourage others to participate in the Add ONE Member campaign started by IV.
Thank you.
Absolutely right. Join the Add a member campaign. We already achieved a minor goal of becoming 8000 strong way before the goal-date of Jan15th. But we really need to be 10,000+ strong.

Looks like CIR has a rough road ahead:
From immigration-law:
06/14/2006: AILA Reports Anti-Immigrant Calls to Congress Outnumbers Pro-CIR at 400:1
* AILA has reported that immigration restrictionists are flooding Congressional phone lines and email inboxes with angry demands that their Senators and Representatives vote against any legislation that provides a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. Their calls for an enforcement-only immigration policy are reportedly louder and more aggressive than ever and there are 400 of them for every 1 call from proimmigrants. AILA is concerned that the 400 to 1 intensity of the opposition to comprehensive immigration reform (S. 2611) is expected to crescendo into the November elections, making it a likely voting issue at the polls.
* Considering the fact that most seats in the House are up for grab in the November election, these anti-immigration forces pose a powerful threat and road block to meaningful enactment of comprehensive immigration reform legislation.
* These anti-immigration forces also appear to use a strategy to weaken the pro-immigration forces by inducing the immigrant community more and more divided between the legal and illegal immigrant communities and pushing them further and further antagonistic each other by spreading rumors that illegal immigrants would take away employment-based immigrant quota from the legal immigrants and the legal immigrant community should oppose the comprehensive immigration reform legislation as passed by the Senate. "Divide and Conquer" strategy appears to work for these immigration restrictionists.

My feeling was that there are No NEW jobs here in USA especially for immigrants. I felt jobs are slowly being offshored and new job creation was not catching upto that. This matches with unemployment numbers 10%+... Also I feel there are enough people looking for PROJECT while on H1B..
Its good to see this is changing with new H1b hiring happening!!
P.S I am not anti-immigrant!

The thread you linked for I-140 delays. I am asking about I-485 approvals :)
I am waiting for my I-485 approval too. So you can change I-140 to I-485 and send the letter to Ombudsman's office.

Some good news for visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html)holders that are about to loose their visa sponsored jobs or already lost the visa job. In a decision issued today by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) in Matter of Neto, which empowers immigration judges who are considering deportation of individuals with approved work-related visa petitions and pending permanent residence applications. The issue at stake is whether an immigration judge has the authority to decide whether the approved visa petition - issued for one job - remains valid when the individual changes jobs. Without a valid visa petition, the individual will not be eligible for permanent residence.
In 2000, Congress passed the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act, which allowed applicants for permanent residence based on approved visa petitions the flexibility to change jobs. However, in 2005, the BIA decided in Matter of Perez-Vargas that an immigration judge had no authority to decide whether a new job was the same as or similar to the old job, which determines validity of their visa petition. This left these applicants for permanent residence in limbo, stripping them of the ability to benefit from the 2000 law while in removal proceedings because the judges couldn't, and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service wouldn't, determine the validity of their visa petition.
Today, in Matter of Neto, the BIA overruled its own earlier decision that denied judges this authority and will now allow them to decide whether a new job is acceptable, thus keeping the individual's eligibility for permanent residence intact. In which case, the visa petition remains valid and the immigrant worker can proceed with an application to become a lawful permanent resident - potentially saving them from deportation.

Like many others we have been waiting for our AOS application to be approved for over 2 years. But the strange thing is, I did get an EAD approved but they never called me in for fingerprinting and Biometrics. I know I had to do the non-immigration "registration" that was initiated a few years ago and they had taken my fingerprints and biometrics, is that why they didn't call me in again? since they already have it?

They are increasing the fees only for the other apllications. I-485 and the related ones will maintain the same fees until August 17th. I think it says so on the announcement from USCIs.

A friend's H1B transfer from company A to company B was denied. Since his H1B with company A is still valid and is going to expire in 3 months, he can still go back to work for company A. However, if he chooses not to work for company A and tries to find a third employer to do another transfer, is he considered out of status for these three months?
yes.
yes.
