Hi: My brother-in-law entered US on an F1 visa, finished his studies, and is currently working in the US. He has an approved H1B petition but he still has the F1 visa in his passport. He is planning to visit India next month and needs to get an H1B visa stamped in his passport for the first...

Thanks. Do you guys (or anyone else) know of cases where the immigration officer at the port of entry granted a 6 month I-94 despite the visa expiring in 2 months from the date of arrival into US, for example?

Hello: My parents' visitor visas will expire a couple of months AFTER they enter the US. Will the immigration officer at the port of entry take this into consideration and issue an I-94 with a validity of just until the visa expires (ie. for just a couple of months)? Or is it a usual practice...

Hi: I have sent multiple emails to status@cgisf.org to check on the status of pending PIO card application at Indian Consulate in San Francisco but have not gotten any response back. I tried calling 415-668-1596 and 415-668-1451 on multiple occasions but nobody ever picks up the phone. Has...

Thanks TheRealCanadian. I was not sure which status she would be on after she quit her current job to take care of the baby. From your reply I gather that she will not go back to H4 but rather to the "assignee" status based on her pending AOS through my employer and that she won't have to...

H4 -> EAD -> H4 A slightly different question: My wife and I have approved EAD from our respective employers. I am working on H1 (have not used EAD) and my wife is working on the EAD obtained through her employer. My wife also has a valid H4 through my employer as a derivative of my primary...

Hi jazzyb, My wife falls under the Schedule A category. I am EB2 Worldwide. PD's for both of us are current and we are eager to avail of it. I was EB3 in the past when the retrogression mess started. And I definitely don't want to see it again if I could avoid it. Hence, the urgency in filing.

Thanks ginnu. I have an H1 extension until 2009 so I don't really need an EAD. But my wife is on H4 and she got an offer from a hospital to work as an RN. Her employer is going to file for her PR and since they want her to start right away, they are going to file for her EAD. On the other...

Thanks Mette for the heads-up on what to expect. I have follow-on questions for you helpful folks: ginnu pointed out and I agree that it is unnecessary to file 2 EADs for the same person but suppose we do. 1) When the EADs do come through, will they have the same A# for the same person...

Thanks ginnu, simranb. Now I have an idea about how to proceed with multiple filings.

Gurus, Need your help. Situation: 1) My company is getting ready to file my 140/485 concurrently as well as my wife's 485 2) At the same time, my wife's company is also getting ready to file her and my 485 3) Same thing with EAD: both my and my wife's companies are willing to file...

Any memo describing this? Is this really true? Any documents/memo that talk about this? After H1B is approved, how does USCIS know when the underlying LC is used for someone else? Sorry for duplicate posts. I forgot to attach the original quote.

Hi: I know this question has been asked several times but if you know the answer could you please reply? It is very important for me given the situation I am in. I have an approved LC and I-140 from my current employer in EB3 category with PD 8/2002. I fall under the Other country quota...

UnitedNations/experts, I have read that with an approved LC and 140, an applicant can use the original PD to apply for a new LC (at a new company). Is this true? Can someone point me to the memo if you have it, please? Does the new job have to be in the similar field? Meaning, can the...
