    H1 extension approval delay beyond 240 days

    Prad74, Please speak to your attorney. I would truely appreciate if you could post the legal argument that your attorney is putting in this regard. As far as I have gathered from this forum, we are not authorised to work after 240 days. But of course, no one is a lawyer here. So, this is his...

    H1B Visa stamp in Pakistan, Latest situation

    name check Just for the sake for all interested ... If your name check / clearance does not get done in 2-3 months then you are done. 2-3 months means that you are cleared through computer without much human intervention. Normally it happens for names which are relatively less common. But if...

    H1 extension approval delay beyond 240 days

    Please write what you did after 240 days? I have been told by my company that I cannot work after 240 days from the expiry of my I-94. They are contacting the local congress man and the company lawyer is exploring options. My question is : How could one continue to work after 240 days? Is...

    H1 extension approval delay beyond 240 days

    This does not seem to be an option Right. But if the case is being delayed due to security checks, the premium processing case will also have to go to these checks. So, I guess that USCIS will not accept it. My company says that they have been denied upgrading to premium processing in a...

    H1 extension approval delay beyond 240 days

    What to do ? So if at the end of my 240 days period, I stay in the US, I am out of status. But what if I leave before that time? What will happen to my H1 extension application? I understand that going out of US means that I am abandoning the extension application. That application is actually...

    H1 extension approval delay beyond 240 days

    then what is the 240 days limit ? That 's precisely what I am asking. Under which law can the lawyer say that? What is the basis for this assumption? I guess they say for only one resaon. Whenever the petition gets approved, it comes with a valid I-94. So, you become ok as far as...

    H1 extension approval delay beyond 240 days

    Another dimension - I-140 approved There is another dimension to my case too which I should have mentioned in my earlier postings. My EB3 I-140 was approved in 2004. I took CP instead of AOS. The case is still pending due to security clearance. If I want to change from CP, I cannot file...
