If you quit today, you will be out of status in 10 days. The earliest you can quit is Sep21 (10 days before your start date). But if your approval does not have an I-94 attached to it, you have to leave the country and obtain a H1 visa to work in the H1 status.

Processing Times I read on immigration-law.com that there was statement put out by the USCIS as to why the processing times were not getting updated. But then again, USCIS has retracted that statement. Have any of you read the statement and if you have a copy of it, can you post it to this thread?

Some of my friends have had their applications transferred to these centers. And some have also received their approvals.

you will be going out of status at the end of august. i would suggest you talk to your lawyer about possible ways you can avoid going out of status.

do you know the reason for denial?

you see the erratic processing due to the applications being sent to CSC and TSC too. Some applications are transferred to these centers to get all the applications processed before Oct 1. If your application gets transferred, you are in a good position as it will get processed faster than if it...

If you exceed the 60 days grace period, you loose your status. and you cannot work during the grace period. the earliest you can be in the country before your start date is 10 days. so if your H1 starts on Oct 1, it will be Sept 21. This is only if you are outside the US. If you are here and you...

The 60 day grace period to change status is effective only after you fulfill all requirements for the degree you are enrolled in. If you do not have a valid work status by the time of your registration date (usually the census date), and you have not enrolled for classes, you are out of status...

Please add to tracker LC State: Kansas LC Category (EB1/EB2/EB3): EB3 LC PD: Aug 2004 I-140 FD: Aug 14, 2006 (?) I-140 RD: Aug 14, 2006 I-140 LUD: I-140 Receipt# : LIN-06-238-xxxxx I-140 AD (If any): -- Concurrent filing (Yes/No): No

here is the mystery behind the 3 digit that you are talking about. That 3 digit is the date your application was entered into the system. It is calculated from Oct 1 of that processing year. So for our H1, the processing year is Oct 1, 2005. Add up all the days from Oct 1 to the day your...

try calling up customer service and see what they can tell you regarding the dates.

did your friend specify at the POE that he intends to convert to a H1? If he did not inform the office at the POE, then he is not going to get a H1 with an I-94 stub below it.

you cannot work on a H4.

It is just getting the load off of Vermont. It is sending applications to other centers to get them processed faster.

I am afraid you cannot apply for a H1 this year. What you can do is apply for a H3 visa, the requirements of which are a little bit different. I think the quota for H3 visas is only 50 per year. So you might want to find out about it. If a H3 is not available, the only other option would be to...

I would say tell them when you apply. No point in wasting your time interviewing with a company that does not sponsor H1.

If you do not book a date in 7 days, your data is erased and you will have to do it all over again.

The quota for this year is over. The next earliest date you can apply is April 1st, for a start date of Oct 1, 2007. I do not know what the grace period is after expiry of J1. But if you are in J1, should you not be leaving the country at the end of its expiry? You might have to apply for a J1...

You have to apply for a H1 transfer immediately. You are actually out of status, but if you get apply for a new H1 within 30 days of you being laid off, the USCIS usually does not pay much attention. It is 30 days to apply for a H1 transfer, not H1 approval. So act fast. Otherwise, you will...

I believe you can also mail in your I-94 or you can surrender it at the border. You are legally allowed to stay in the US for 10 days after your I-94 expires. But you cannot work, and those 10 days are for you to wind up any pending business here. But if you remain beyond those 10 days, those...
