Given the fact that we have a sum total of all Applications in the system :
We should have a pretty good idea soon how the PD would stand.
We should be able to fill in a quick poll to see how the numbers get split up with our members to get a rough idea of the % age wait. The goal is, most folks now are aware of IV and atleast visit IV frequently. They should be able to add 1 unit to the count, so we have a rough idea of the wait times to calculate to understand realistically How long to wait for the GC Visa # allotment.
We have waited long enough on BEC

I was thinking I'm the only one waiting for the inventory data eagerly.I just stopped short of opening a thread though:)
As ridiculous and pathetic as it may sound in our case, Homo sapiens like to wait for something good or in 'hope' for the good to come.
While waiting for GC eternally, we learned to wait for VB each month,Demand Data used for VB each month,Inventory Data released quarterly. Of course, for all the analysis & comments that come out of each of these data points.
If it helps any, don't expect it before Tuesday/Wednesday next week.
Have a wonderful long weekend y'all!
When will they post inventory data? I got bored with analyzing/looking May 2010 inventory. EB3 filers like me needs something to munch on for next couple of years.
Note to USCIS: don't delay your release dates of inventories. Keep us busy ...

Below is what I think to your three case scenario:
Case 1: According to the USCIS's rule of last action, whichever petition or application came out last is your new non-immigrant status. So if your H1b transfer gets approved first and then your H-1B -> F1 gets approved, you are in F-1, or vice versa. But then if your first H1B has already expired before you turn in your F-1 application, it gets a little complicated. In that case, the F-1 application cannot be approved before the H1B transfer is approved.
case 2: If your first H1B is still valid, then it is ok if your H1B transfer is denied. If your first H1B is expired already before your submit your F-1 application, and your H1B transfer gets denied, you could be out of status.
case 3: If your H1B transfer is approved, and F-1 application is denied, you are still in H1B.
There is an article discussing authorized stay and authorized status which relates to your questions: Differences Between “Authorized Status” and “Authorized Stay” (http://www.us-immigrationvisa.com/article/differences-between-authorized-status-and-authorized-stay)

Hi,
I have a question. I am on H1 and are planning to extend my H1 along with my wife H4. My question is, we both have EAD's and I never use EAD. My wife is looking for jobs on EAD. If she works on EAD, can she still able to extend H4 status?
Thanks

If an LCA is filed before July 2010 which is a 365 day point I will be allowed to extend my H1 for another 3 years while my Green Card is in process.
Not true! In the above scenario you will only be permitted to extend your H1 in yearly increment. To get a three-year extension you must have an approved I-140 Immigrant Petition for an Alien Worker.
I cannot or do not want to comment on the second part of your question. Sorry?

Hi
My H1 Visa is about to expire in month of November 2009
Right now I am on bench and looking for projects
It might happen that I might have to go back to India
My labour is approved and I140 is under process.
Employer is ready to continue my GC processing.
If I go back to India and plan to come after I140 approval would it be possible?
Do I get new H1 on I140 approval or it is important for me to get I140 approval before November 2009
Please guide me
Thanks

My husband is currently employed on a H1 visa and I am on a H4 visa. Our current visas(H1 and H4) are valid till January 2013. We are Candadian permanent residents who plan on ultimately applying for green cards and settling down in the US. I am a newbie in this arena and have a few questions that I tried searching answers for but couldn't find anything conclusive and would appreciate any answers
1) For various reasons can I stay back in the country for 4-6 months, while my husband goes back to Canada on the extended unpaid leave for the 4-6 months and comes back? Or if I leave with him now, can I come back after 6 months and stay here for 4-6 months? Are there any rules/regulations that prevent me from doing this. Please note that we live across the border in Canada and travel back/forth via car.
2) My hubby is planning on taking an extended unpaid leave from work( for personal and not health related reasons) and his employer is OK with that. This could be as short as 3 months and could be as long as a year. During this time we will be going back to Canada. Do you know if this will create any issues with immigration currently or in the future? How long can this leave exist?
3) If my husband ultimately comes back to a different job after this unpaid leave, will his chances of getting a visa for that new job be affected?
4) If he wants to take an extended leave do we need to leave the country? Can we take an extended leave and stay in the country? Will we be violating any rules/regulations if we do that?
5) Lets say we want to come back after 6 months, do we need to come back together?
6) If we are in Canada for the next 6 months, can we keep taking weekend trips to visit our families in US?
Would appreciate any information that anyone can provide on this.
Thanks,
ExtendedLeaveApplicant

I am a resident physician on h1b visa which is expiring on 6-30-2010 . I am in process of applying for H1B extension for my fellowship. My wife is on H4 visa (expiring in 3-20-2013 since she got 5 yr multiple visa). Recently she visited Kuwait and on her re-entry she was given entry (on her I94) up to 3-15-2013 (up to 5 days prior to her visa expiration). Will she also need extension in this case along with my extension or can she stay in US till 2013 with out extension Thanks.

Hello
I am on currently H1B visa using AC21 portability based on I140 approval from previous employer. This is my 9 th year and H1B is expiring April 2010. My current employer is starting H1b renewal again. I do not have H1B visa stamp in my passport as I did not travel outside the USA for last 5 years.
Through my wife's I 485 filling I am beneficiary on that petition. I have applied for advanced parole for both of us to travel out of USA somewhere around March 2010.
My questions are follow:
1. Upon travel when I try to come back should I use this advanced parol or get a H1 visa stamp on my passport and make a entry based on H1 Visa?
2. If I use advanced parol to make an entry does it invalidate my H1 status? I heard somewhere that If I use advance parol to make an entry than I can no longer be on H1 visa. In my case advanced parol I am getting is based on I 485 benefits from wife's I485 case.
3. If making an entry on advance parol does not affect my H1 status, then should I still go to US embassy and get H1 visa stamp? Or it is no longer needed? Is it advisable not to have H1b stamp in my passport at all because I can use Advance Parol for internation travelling? The reason I am asking is because to get stamp in passport will require me to travel to embassy and consume my time from very limited time I am travelling.
4. What are the documents I need to carry while I travel if advance parol is advisable to be used at port of entry?
5. What are advantage/disadvantage of Advance Parol Vs H1b Visa for making an entry?
6. and Lastly, the things I need to keep in mind while at port of entry?
I know, I am asking too many questions. But to be honest, I am really nervous about this traveling as I have not travelled outside the US for last five years. And you know during these years many things must have been changed.
I really appreciate any advise.
Thanks
Sanjay

The answer is Yes you can switch to new employer. Your H-1 does not matter anymore as you have applied for AOS and you have a valid EAD which you can use for AC21 portability for a new employer after 180 days.

Being able to build and certify a vehicle does not mean anything. The key to success is reliability and consistent quality. If the consumer is not certain that his/her car will fire up at the first crank, every morning, day after day for 10 years.

This is no news. Bilbray and his HIRC (founded by Tancredo) are engaging in tough talk and rhetoric knowing full well that Pelosi is not going to put CIR on House agenda.
This is just tough talk with no plans or intention to act. Nothing to see here folks. Back to 485 issues.
logiclife: any alternative way like having an interrim bill passed so that it will give temporary relief for all of us?

You are eligible for 3 years extension with the approved I140. I also applied my H1 extension by attaching approved 140 for 3 years extension, I got it last month...
it will not like 2 yrs and then 3 yrs.....go for 3 years...I think lawyer should know all these....
Good luck...

Hi,
My 6th year H1 expires in Feb'07 and company is ready to apply 7th year extension using premium processing. Assuming I get H1 extended by Oct 1st and travel to India in Nov for 2 weeks, is there a problem in coming back with old visa.
Since the appointments are full for the next 6 months I don't have any realistic chance of getting new stamping done during the trip. I know traveling while extension is pending is a big NO NO but if extension is approved am I allowed to use the old visa stamp?
thanks in advance
