Ok, guys so I am going thru my annual ritual of H1/H4 renewal. I have never tracked the H1 processing on the USCIS site in the past. This time I decided to track it. I notice that my wife's H4 has been approved (been over a week) and mailed but there has been no activity on my H1 ! Does that make any sense? Isn't H4 a derivative visa that is approved only if H1 is approved?
Anybody seen such odd stuff?

I'm currently working for Company A on H1B Visa. My GC is sponsored through Company B as a future employee. I never worked for Company B which has sponsored for my GC. I have applied for I485 and I140 has been approved for more than 6 months.
Company A is going through lay offs and wont be able to apply for my GC. My 6 yr limit on H1B from Company A will expire next year.
Can i apply for H1B extension through Company A based on my I-140 from Company B.
Yes, it is legal, allowed, and possible
no. Comp A cannot apply for H1 extension as the PERM labor is not held by them. What you can do is get an EAD and continue to work for Company A, but then Company A will have to take over the process using AC21

Hi,
I have decided to quit my current Company A.
My termination date is Sept 15th.
Am talking to Company B for my H1 transfer.
Can you please tell me how much time do I have from Sept 15th if the transfer application gets delayed, incase.
Thank You very much.

You mean before you are out of status? --- 60 days, I think.

Agree with the post above.. Lots of H1Bs are filed by unscrupulous employers who bring a person on H1B and don't pay them till they get a contract / client to bill the H1B to..
USCIS needs to investigate this.. Time to write to USCIS to be more vigilant in monitoring these firms to ensure real people with real jobs out there can get the H1Bs

Hi guys,
I have the following clarification:
Earlier, I was working with Employer A and came to US after getting H1-B stamped.
Subsequently, my spouse has got her H4 visa stamped.
So, both of our visas are valid till 30th Sept 2007. My wife joined me in December 2005.
Then I changed my employer in April 2006, where I got my I-129 approved from Employer B.
In the meantime, my wife/spouse went to India in April 2006 & came back to US using old visa on July 15th 2006.
At port of Entry she got I-94 valid till 30th Sept 2007 (validity date of the old visa A)
I never got her I-94/H4 using the new I-129 from Employer B (Current Employer).
On July 3rd, I submitted my I-485 AOS for both of us.
I have the following question:
1. Is her I-94 still valid based on the old visa ?
2. Will there be any issues for not filing for H4 visa till now, even though I am planning to
apply right away as her I-94 is getting expired on 30th Sept 2007.
3. Is she out of Status as I left the old employer more than 180 days ago.
4. Will she have any issues as far as AOS is concerned.
Your valuable views will be highly appreciated.

H1B status alone shouldn't cause any problems for re-entry, that is just my opinion though.

Folks,
How long does it takes to get an Advanced Parole documents after filing I485?
Will it be safe to file I485 and AP/EAD if I am planning to go to India in next 4 or 5 months?
Thanks

The Office of the Ombudsman is usually best addressed through 'non named' communication. By nature of the profession, Ombudsmen as neutral third parties and hence influence greater effects without direct name association. This is a technicality in the ADR/mediation profession.
For those who'd be more comfortable addressing Mr. , by all means no harm, no foul.
In any case, the Office of the Ombudsman in this can can be a POWERFUL resource because it can enable the Govt and USCIS Officials to take corrective action and place motivation on the Ombudsman instead of themselves. Thats how most bureaucracies work, find the person to pin the tail on and play the game.

Hi,
If 4 months after 485 filed, I leave my job. Can I use EAD to work for another company? My wife also has 485 filed, so I can use her to renew my EAD if I need to.
I'm assuming you both have filed 2 I-1485 and 2 EAD each. Based on your I-485, it's safe to change job only after 180 days of I-485 receipt date. You can change after 4 months but if for some reason your I-140 get revoked you are screwed. Same thing if you use the EAD obtained using your wife's 485. If you change your job before 6 months but use your wife's EAD and later on your company revoke your I-140, your I-1485 application is screwed up but you will stil be in status if your wife 485 is fine.
Again, there is risk involved with such a peculiar cases and you might get NOD. I've seen one such case in IV where husband got a rfe on wife's I-485 even though he withdrew his application long back. But that case has some other issues as well so it all depends on case-to-case.
Moral of the story is, if it is not a do or die situation, keep your case as simple as possible and switch job only after 6 months of 485.
Please close this thread also as there are several threads with similar questions.

It will never happen here. Even if it does happen, it will still have an annual quota, which would lead to priority dates.
