I am on H1B visa in USA. I got married and filed for green card on family basis through my wife in Oct-2001. Till date I was on H1B visa. I got layoff. Is it possible I can transfer my visa on green card base and stay here legally? If yes then for which form or visa I should apply?

I got H1B approval from B1/B2 at Montreal, Canada. Somobody also post same question before and then mentioned later that now law is changed that you might not get H1B stamping first time from B1/B2 to H1B at Canada. So see previous posting and ask them what did they do. In my case there was no...

I applied on 4th Jan, 2002. I don't know about new rule which you have mentioned.

You can come back on old visa stamp. You must carry your new I797 receipt, paystub and letter from employer. When I came back, I showed my passport only and they didn't ask me any question.

FYI: I also came to US on B1/B2 visa and trasnfer my visa to H1B. I also got stamp from Montreal, Canada. 1) Yes. If you go outside USA, you have to stamp visa before coming back. You can do stamping in Indai but they will ask you so many questions. I would sugget to try at Canada and if it...

No problem There should not be any problem. Your new employer must mention 75K salary in your new LCA. If your new LCA mention different salary then your employer pays, it is big trouble. Congrates for getting new job.:)

PriyaGC, I am not expert on immigration but I-94 is not a problem as far as you have valid I-94. 1) I applied for new H1B visa and went to UK. When I went to UK I gave them my I-94 whose copy I send for new H1B. Once I came back I got new I-94. I believe there should not be problem as when you...

I am not sure for your wife. I gave feedback as I was same as on your boat and for me it worked out. But I believe if she is on H4 and it is valid then it should not be problem. If INS askes at the port of entry for new visa or any thing related to that you can tell them I am still working...
