My employer has filed I-824 to move my approved I-140 case to NVC for CP. I-824 has been pending now almost 10 months. Just recently came across an article that said I can still go ahead and apply for CP with a copy of I-824. But I don't have original I-140 or the copy of the petition that was...

anyone please? would really appreciate your feedback, any similar past experience etc

My H-1 extension application (based on an approved I-140) has been pending for over 4 months now. Attorney sent an inquiry and got the reply back that extension is pending background checks. This is something new for me. I had had H-1 extensions in the past as well and never had problem. Last...

USCIS site updated to saying form I129 was processed and sent to the address on record. It doesn't mention what decision they took. Is this normal, any idea? I know I can wait a few days to hear directly from the attorney .... but ...

Applied for H1 extension back in early April on the basis of approved I-140 (this extension is beyond 7 yrs of H1). USCIS website says it usually takes them 2 months to make a decision. Mine has gone over 3 months now as receipt date was April 5. Anyone else faced/facing same situation...

If a person on H-1 status marries someone holding green card, is there a way the GC spouse can sponsor his/her H-1 spouse so that there is need to remain on H-1 anymore?

I've my I-140 approved with PD of August 2006 in EB-3. Want to switch to another employer who is willing to file my H-1 transfer as well as whole GC process. My question: Is there any way I can save my existing LC and I-140 so that the new employer won't have to start the GC from scratch again...

GotPR - thanks for your input. Company A is saying that if they survive, they won't cancel or withdraw the I-140 so that I company B can use it at that time to get me an extension.

I’ve been on H-1 since ages – 10 years to be exact. My latest H-1 (to be expired in Oct 2010) was obtained based on an approved I-140 (EB 3) with P.D of August 2006. Now due to current economic situation, my employer – a tech consulting/placement company (A) may have to shut down. To save our...

hmmm ... this H-1 Transfer phrase is a bit confusing. Transfer would literally mean the H1 has been transferred from A to B. But what you saying is that even if I get my H1 transferred to B, and then later on decided not to join B, I can continue to work for A without having to file a transfer...

this is where I am a little skepticle. my understanding was that , H1 of company would become invalid once I get onto the payroll of company B. And going by the book, company A would have to file a H1 transfer again. Now that would have been a different situation if company B had filed & got...

ginnu - thanks for the comments. Just one question: for (1) where you said: if h1 is transferred to company B, does it not make the old H1 (of company A) invalid? if I want to switch back to company A, would they have to file for a h1 transfer again?

Houston - I've a situation!! I've been on H1 of a consulting company (A) which is also sponsoring my GC and have done my I-140 with PD of Sept 2006. I got my "Beyond 7th year" H-1 extension based on approved I-140. Recently another placement company (B) approached me for a FT position with...

Does the Immigration service put the candidate through background checks, name checks during I-140 as well or is it just for the last step of filing for 485. I had read in some thread here about being stuck in name checks while waiting for I 140 approval.

well, seems like this Agent guy is helping out people with his personal knowledge about how to approach the interview process. There's no fraudulent or superhuman activity involved in it. He probably gives advise about how to prepare certain documents in such a way so as to satisfy the officer...

Jula - canceling an existing visa in lieu of another one is normal. TC - they can deny applications all they want. What I am curious to know is - if this cancelation of valid visas for rest of the family members, is it some extreme & rare action .... blacklisting etc? and is there any...

Happened to a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago. He & his family had 3 yrs multiple visit visa and had been to US once before and they all have been living in Dubai for quite some times now. Earlier they had applied for a visit visa for their new born daughter and was rejected. NOw they...

thanks a lot !!! hey thank you very much for taking time to reply my queries. It did help me get a better idea about my options.

OK, thats helps to understand the issue better. Thanks for the help. Say if my I-140 is no more valid (I xfer H1 to another employer), and my new employer starts the GC process all over again, starting from LC, does it mean I would be eligible for further H-1 extensions based on new LC & new...

No I-485 yet No - I haven't filed I-485 so far. My I-140 was approved back in 2006. What I am trying to figure out is that if I transfer H-1B to another employer, what would happen to my existing I-140?
