1. How long can someone be on vacation without pay, while on H1b? 2. I hear that the sponsoring company must start paying you within 60 days after the H1B is approved..true?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Well CIS didn't ask for a W2 yet from that company. They just asked for my legal status before joining his company. As a matter of fact, CIS took almost 8 month to process my H1b (I was in F1). So during that time my status was waiting and my friend already...

Thanks techbuyer77. The only thing that I'm worried about are the paystubs that I created (based on the paychecks he gave me) and used them to transfer my H1b to my current employer. I have copies of paychecks from him that matches the amount in those paystubs. When I realized that I am not...

mogambo, what do you mean by illegal activities? I haven't received w2 and couldn't file the tax. May be I should have forced my company to work on that but nothing was intentional in any way on my part.

Thanks Ginnu! Although the law firm (through my company) that is handling my case is pretty good but I don't want to tell them all these as my company's HR will know and they may not like all these complications. I'm going to consult with a different lawyer soon. However do you think that I...

My employer filed my GC under EB1 category. I-140 and I-485 was filed almost concurrenty and I-140 was approved after 8 months. Now CIS sent an RFE (I-485) to the company lawyer asking for a document from my previous employer (basically that requires my previous employer to provide me with a...

Could you please tell me what is the prevailing wage for a java developer with 5 yrs of experience (With a MS in computer sc.)? My feeling is that my company is paying me lot less than that. Is there a way by which I can find the information for free? According to salary.com, the median wage...

my new h1b was approved about 2 months ago but my company couldn't put me on the payroll yet. And they won't be able to do so anytime soon as they are not doing well. I just started looking for jobs but don't have any paystubs and will not have any paystubs. How can I transfer my visa ? Is there...

yes. not a bad one..they want my SEVIS I-20 which was issued after an year..so I guess I should be fine.

2nd RFE(URGENT!! someone reply please asap) Hi guys, I'm going to receive a 2nd RFE on my case (F1 to H1b). The RFE is on its way...so I don't know what exactly is there.. Response to their first RFE was received by INS on Dec 15 and my lawyer sent all necessary documents for that one..Don't...

I see..was it a "fresh" h1b or a renewal? I have a friend on H1b ..in his case waiting period was not included..I don't know..INS folks are nuts..

hi kv, when exactly your rfe was received by ins and when did you apply for the extension?

well, I don't think so. That would be the case for a transnfer or extension but not for a new h1b I guess. Cuz my new visa will be effective from the date they issue it and not the day I filed my application.

no, its a new H1b (from F1). please let me know when you hear from them.

hmm..in my case it has been more than 2 months since my rfe was received by INS.. Did you talk to your lawyer? I'll do the same soon..However I'm not so much worried about the delay (as long as I get it eventually) because the waiting period will not be counted towards my visa..so thats...

hi kv, did you get any response yet?

Well, In my case , is it 90 to 150 days now( used to be 60 to 90)..Did you mean 90 to 120 or 90 to 150?

hey, my rfe was received by vsc on 15th of dec,2003. still no response as of jan 31, 2004..did you get it yet?

Well, when I called them, they didn't even want to talk to me since I'm the beneficiary and asked me to have my petitioner call them..Anyway, if they mentioned 30 to 60 to you, I guess we don't have to worry much at this point cuz you'll have to consider 7/8 days holiday period during xmas.
