The 10 day grace period does not exist when an H1 worker is laid off. When an H1 get laid off (actually just prior to getting laid off), he/she should apply for a change of status to B1 (or F1 if possible) to maintain status. The stamped B1 visa in your passport does not have any value as...

Thank you much for the input. In India they have started online DS-160 but for Mumbai consulate they still want us to submit docs 3 days in advance. Strange rule only for Mumbai

My H1 (and dependent's H4) has been extended recently. I am travelling to India in planning to return just 5 days before my current Visa Stamp expiry. I will have the new Approved Petition though just do not want to go through the hassle of stamping. AFAIK, it is fine and I should...

Hi Rajiv, my 140 was approved a couple of months back. I am on H1 and the salary is a little less then the Proferred Wage determined during PERM and 140. My Attorney mentioned that the Employer should demonstrate "ability to pay" proferred wage (as established by Tax Return etc) but...

Hi I understand from FAQs that after 140 is approved, I can change job and carry my PD (even though I need to start the PERM again). However, some people say that in such case, if the previous employer revokes the 140 at any time, I will loss my PD. Is this true? Are there risks in...
