While on OPT, I was with a consultancy firm who applied for my H1B which was subject to the annual...

Has anybody travelled through Germany (Frankfurt) to India with an H1B approval notice and faced any problems? The German Embassy website clearly states that this is acceptable as long as one is travelling back to their country of citizenship.

I am currently on H1B status (started in Oct'06, was on F1 until then) having completed an MS in the US. I am currently pursuing a second Master's (just need to defend my thesis) from the same US institution as my first MS. For dates of attendance for my second Master's in Q17 in DS157, do I...

My driver's license expires on 8/20/06 (date of expiry on my I-20). And I have a pending H-1B petition applied by my employer with a start date of 10/1/06. I currently have a receipt notice for my H-1B petition and I would like to know if I can get my driver's license renewed with this receipt...

My I-20 expires on 8/20/06 and my employer has applied for a H-1B with a start date of 10/1/06. I have already exhausted my OPT as this is my second Master's program. And I know that F1 students have a 60 day grace period after program completion (which in my case is 8/20/06) to either leave the...

Thanks a lot for ur reply Columbus_Dude. Really appreciate it. Yeah...we were also planning to consult an experienced immigration attorney and find out the best way to handle this situation and also explore all the other possibilities.

Thanks for ur reply Columbus_Dude. We r Indian citizens born in India. Also, both of us have Master's degrees from US universities. Could u explain the the last half of ur previous reply. I was a little lost with ur explanation. Let me rephrase my question: Is there a US immigration law which...

Both me and wife are currently on valid H-1B visas working for employers A and B respectively. Can one of us have our employer start the GC process and include the spouse as a dependent on the primary applicant's GC petition or do each of us need to start separate individual GC applications...

Can someone urgently help me out with my situation... I have an offer from Company B, whose job requirement is a BS degree. They apparently say that they cannot apply for a H-1B as the general quota is over. But since I have a Master's degree, I told them that we have to apply in the Master's...

Company A has applied for a H-1B and I am awaiting approval (FY2007 Master's quota, Regular Processing, Receipt Date: 4/7/06, VSC). Meanwhile, I obtained another full-time offer from Company B. Can I do an H-1B transfer from Company A to B before the start date of my H-1B (10/1/06) assuming my...

Can an F1 student with an expired F1 visa but having a valid I-20 and maintaining legal status throughout his/her authorized duration of stay, change status to an H1-B work visa with a start date of employment set within the 60 day grace period allowed for F1 students after program completion...

I have a H1-B visa interview scheduled this month in New Delhi as I could not secure an appointment in Chennai. I would like to know whether the visa officer will have a copy of all the documents submitted by my employer to the USCIS (INS) at the time of submitting my H1-B petition. I would...

I am currently in the US working on a H1-B visa and my husband is on an F1 student visa. My sister is a US citizen and she is interested in sponsoring us for a US Green Card. I would like to know if this is possible, and if so how long would this entire process take. Also, would appreciate if...

Folks, What would be an appropriate answer to Question 20 in the DS-156 application form for non-immigrant visa applicants: "Name and Address of present employer or school?", as my father is currently a 'retired' state government employee and mother a housewife. Would appreciate your replies...
