Hey, I have used VisaPro and they were damn neat with their services. What I found while I was shopping for an immigration expert was that Visapro rates are nearly 25% lesser than most others in the market and also, their online case management system makes things so simple. BTW, their...

Hey, are you filing a COS or EOS? Need more information to be able to give you some suggestions.

My apologies, I was wrong when I said the Automatic Validation rule has been done away with. Actually the Article that I referred to also says what bhand has to say. Once again, my apologies. :(

Hey, I don't think the automatic revalidation rule applies anymore. In fact the whole revalidation process has been done away with. YOu could get some interesting information on automatic revalidation in this article that I bumped into. http://www.visapro.com/Immigration-Articles/?a=174&z=31...

Hey, unless its absolutely necessary, its advisable that your friend lands in NJ to avoid being questioned by the POE officer. Having a connecting ticket to NJ from LA is a good idea but avoid this route if possible, is what I would say. Hope this helps!!!

Nope, you need a new stamp only when your current visa is about to expire and you have to travel.

Hey, the B-1 visa is not company specific like the work visas. Irrespective of the fact that you got your 5 year B-1 visa from Company X, your B-1 doesn't get cancelled when you leave company X. You surely can change status to one of the work visas while you are in the US however, its advisable...

Hey, your B-1 rejection should not affect your H-1B or L-1 applications in the future as the requirements for those categories are different from the B-1 category.

Gee!! that sounds familiar. Guys, any answers?

You could do it before that, however, you need to travel outside the US either to your home country or as a third country national to Canada. There is no reason to indulge in exclusive travel to renew your visa. The next time you travel outside the US, you can get your visa renewed.

Hey Krishna, you need a new H-1B as your current visa is valid till 12/2005, however, you should make it a point to carry all your H-1B papers like your latest Approval Notice etc, so that in case there are questions at the POE you will be able to explain to the officer the current status...

Excuse me for asking, but how did you manage to get through Immigration on a B-1/B-2 visa after being married to a US citizen. I am assuming your spouse is a USC because you have written about AOS in your message. Since you are already in the US, you could surely go ahead and do an AOS which is...

Hey Bhagat, you need to file a change of status (COS) application to H-4 before her OPT expires. She will be in valid status while her COS application is pending with the INS irrespective of whether her OPT expires. You need to file Form I-539 and attach documents like your H-1B approval...

Hey, you have a 60 day grace period after your OPT expires to legally stay in the US. Last year the USCIS had released a notice in July which gave relief to students with the gap issue similar to yours. They were allowed to remain in the US leglally beyond the 60 day grace period if the H-1B...

Hey, your wife cannot go back to using her H-4 visa without applying for a change of status to H-4 from H-1. Going by the "last action doctrine," which states that the last action taken be the USCIS controls, your wifes current status is H-1 and she will be violating her status if she stops...

Hey Napoleon, an unpaid internship while on H-4 status may not go down too well with the USCIS and they may have questions later. Its only work that you do as a volunteer while on H-4 status that doesn't raise eyebrows. I don't think its a great idea for your wife to take up this intership while...

True, you got it right.

I think you can't apply for an extension earlier than 6 months before its expiry. A couple of months before September should be good to start the process.

Hey, I think its a better idea to reapply for an H-1B through Company B and then entering the US. Its true that you should have pay stubs from your current employer when applying for an H-1 transfer which you don't have. Lets say you travel to the US on your current H-1B and then apply for a...
