    140/485 concurrent filing with old priority date

    Hi, Thanks for the response. Not the response I was hoping to get :) I do not think I am eligible for premium processing of I-140, because PP is allowed only for those who will need a 140 approval to be able to exten their H1s. The Priority date is current for August 2004 for EB2 (at...

    Visa stamping in Matamaros, mexico

    Hi, I am going to be in Matamaros for my H1 stamping. Do we really need to get a visa?

    H-1B approved! But ...

    I would suggest that you get the mistake corrected. It shouldnt be a big deal getting it corrected. But if you just ignore it, there is a possibility of you getting some unnecessary delays in the future during renewal. I would fix the mistake now, to avoid any issues in the future.

    Landing Process and Necessary Info

    If you fly, they will take your I-94 and give you a new one upon entering. If you drive then you dont have to give your I-94. Other than that I think it is pretty much the same. So my suggestion would be to do whichever is convenient for you.
