Hi All, I have a valid visa till Nov 14th, 2006 along with a valid I-797 till Nov 14th, 2006. I have applied for my H1 extension with the same employer on June 12, 2006 through premium processing. I have to leave the country on June 28th and will be returning on July 16th. I have a few...

Hi All, I have a few questions regarding the extension of my H1 1. My current visa expires on November 14th 2006. Can I apply for an extension of H1 6 months prior to November i.e., on May 14th 2006? 2. If I apply for premium processing how long does it take to get the new approved...

Thanks Ginnu and Adibazz.

Hi Ginnu, Now because i got a raise of 60,000 per annum and according to the recent LCA i was being paid only 43,000 per annum. As the raise is more than 10%. Should i go for a new LCA for Chicago region (as i am still in that project) rather than the LCA which i had in the first place for...

Hi All, My employer has increased my salary. So should he get a new LCA as my actual wage has increased? Also is it necessary that always the actual wage should always be greater than the prevailing wage of that area in the LCA? Please suggest. Thanks, Sandy

ginnu, Does that mean that INS will not give more than 65000 H1 approvals this year? So i dont have to worry about being in the quota to get my initial H1 visa stamped. Am i already in the quota? Sandy

Hi All, Does the INS keep a track of giving H1 approvals to be within the cap (65000) or does the consulate in each country decide and keep a track of visas to be issued within the cap I am asking this because does it matter which time of the year that I go for initial stamping of H1 (I...

Thanks a ton, Usnycus
