I am not an immigration expert, but don't you need to show spouse's valid H1 visa to get a H4 visa? ... Unless both spouses are applying for their respective visas at the same time.

if u are still on Old company payroll...and that is who u entered in ur form - u shud be OK....
If u ahve already jumped ship....there may/may not be an RFE...
Like everything else with USCIS...this falls in gray zone too.

Hi,
I received a notice this morning for my spouse's case! This is the third (or may be fourth) time they have transferred the case! The notice reads:
On May 16, 2011, we transferred this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case. .......
During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to .........
All standard stuff. Not sure what that means. We are getting current on June 1st. I have not received any such notice for my case, only for my spouse's case.
By the way, we have never been interviewed, have provided fingerprints probably three times.
Does that mean that now the case needs additional 4 to 6 months of processing?
Regards,
Fall1998.

I applied for a green card for my wife just after we were married on May 11, 2009. We received an appointment for an interview in Detroit on August 25, 2009, but we had moved to Texas in the meantime. The appointment was rescheduled at the Dallas field centre on September 14, 2009 (Monday).
I am wondering what to expect, from the small details to the big stuff. My 3 biggest questions:
. Does anyone have enough experience to say if there is there reasonable parking available at the field centre? I have never been to Irving. The web page says that there is public parking available, but nothing about how much.
. I was married before, and applied for a green card for my first wife. It was granted in 2004, and we divorced in 2006. Should I expect extra scrutiny / challenge because of this?
. Is one actually asked questions of the "What sort of toothpaste does your wife use?" variety? I'm really bad at remembering these details, and am wondering if there's any curve ball that I should expect.
. Is there a general impression of whether the Dallas field centre is a pleasant or an unpleasant place? My dealings with my first marriage (many years ago) were all with the Chicago field centre, which is very unpleasant, but my one piece of business with the Detroit field centre were easy and pleasant.
Thanks so much to anyone who can help relieve my nervousness about what to expect.
UPDATE: I forgot to ask another one: At my previous green card interview, the interviewer asked for a set of passport photos and paystubs for several previous months, although the interview letter had not requested them. I had been warned about this, so I had them with me. Naturally, I am also bringing passport photos and pay stubs this time, just in case. Is there anything else that I might be expected to bring that wouldn't have been mentioned on the interview letter?

Hi everyone
started following IV after my friend told me about it. got some useful info and really admire the time members put to answer queries. this is my post and I hope I get some info here. my hubby is looking to relocate to south FL so we both can live and work in same place. he did get couple offers - one from a insurance firm and another from a software company - Citrix. looks like first one will only do EB-3 although the position requires 5+ years exp. does anyone know if Citrix does GC under EB-2 ?
welcome to IV !
for what it helps, I have a friend who works for Citrix and he was filed under EB-3. dont know if this is same for everyone over there. I work for a different company which has a policy to file under EB-3 for everyone.

hello all,
I wanted a clarification regarding address change:
My company changed address recently from address City A to address City B (same county, same metropolitan area). Do you know if I need to do any LCA Amendment?
I had consulted a lawyer regarding this, he said we don't need to do any LCA Amendment since it is the same metropolitan area.
Also I am not getting any clear answers from any other websites.
Wanted to cross check with you all. If anybody know please help.
Thanks.

Guys:
Is there anyway to get H1-B extension done fast ?
Using Premium Processing or anything like that..??
Please share your thoughts.
Yes there is. I paid for mine and got approval in 10 days. I did that because I did not want to wait.

Hello,
I am working with A on h1b and the visa expires on May 1st 2010.
Recently I got another offer with B and they filed my h1b transfer (regular).
The offer they gave me verbally is different from what's on the offer letter, when I contacted them there insist that they never "promised" , so I did not want to take that offer now.
Can I now ask employer A to file the extension and continue working with A?. Will that create any issues if the transfer with B gets Approved/rejected?. or is there any alternate?. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

I have one question?
What if my employer cancels I140 and I don't have any other job on my hand? This can be a possibility for me in near future. I am searching for a new job and my employer is going to cancel I140.
Is it good to wait for any RFE or denial and if it occurs, just sending them new EVL of any consulting firm (with or without project) will help?
Thanks in advance.

Hello - I have a unique situation. I'm currently in the US on H1B, and my fiance is in India working for a reputed software company. We are planning to get married by end of April.
I want her to come to US on a work visa (hopefully H1B). I got to know that to make the FY09 H1B cap, she has to apply for H1B on Apr 1 2008, and wait till Oct 1 to travel if her visa gets approved. But since we are getting married by end of April, I don't want her to stay in India till October while I'm here.
The other option I was thinking was to apply for her H1B on Apr 1, but still go ahead and apply for H4 in early May, so that she can travel on H4 in May. And once her H1 is approved, she would already be in the US and can start working from Oct 1. Is this possible? Will this plan create any problems for her H4 or H1 visa application?
If the above does not work, what are my other options? If I miss the Apr 1 2008 deadline, the next earliest she can apply for H1 is Apr 1 2009, and work from Oct 1 2009 - and I don't want to wait that long.
Another option is to get married before Apr, get her to US on H4 before Apr, and apply for change of status to H1 on Apr 2008. But the marriage plans for Apr is made and to push the dates back would not be easy.
Any help in this matter is appreciated.

Every time I call USCIS to inquire if my I-140 is filled under EB2 or EB3. They ask me to ask my lawyer or employer to call. They won't tell me. I do have a copy of I-140 that states it is Eb2 (Advance degree and all)
I cannot ask my previous enployer to call as I have left the company using AC21.
Please advise what is the solution?
EB2, if your I-140 approval reads as "Section: Mem of Profession w/Adv Deg, or of Exceptn'l Ability Sec.203(b) (2)" You should be worried only if you had two different 140 with the same employer. Take infopass and give a try, there is no standard procedure to find out.

I just found this link (http://immigrationvoice.blogspot.com/) where this topic is already covered. Mods, please remove my post (and maybe it would make sense to create threads specific to the USCIS/DOS mess up to - at the moment it does not look very organized to me and it is hard to find information. Maybe sub-threads with "law suit", "publicity" would channel comments better?)
--------------------------------------
I only read about an article in two online newspapers but believe this whole topic should get significantly more attention. I do not know if that is going to help to get this started but I sent an e-mail to our local TV stations and hope that some may be interested and even pick it up. Again, no idea if this is going to work but I assume that if they get more e-mails regarding the same topic, interest will come up....

Hi,
With having many international operating companies in the U.S. who all employ legal alliens who are going through the "greencard process" to become legal permanent residents, the Department of State (DOS) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have destroyed many plans, caused significant financial loss for applicants and very likely acted against the law. Here is an open letter from congresswoman Lofgren which explains the situation a little bit more detailed: http://lofgren.house.gov/PRArticle.aspx?NewsID=1808
I think this would be well worth a few minuted report - everybody is talking about the pain that the illegal immigrants go through but (without taking away anything from that), the pain of legal alliens having to deal with the willful behavior of USCIS and DOS is not much better.
If you would be interested in more information, I would be more than happy to help.
Best regards,

Hi, Today my I485 had a LUD and when I check the status it is saying:
Document mailed to applicant.
On October 24, 2007 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.
I already received everything and went for FP 20 days ago. I missed the appointment and then went the next friday and they took the prints. I was told that I didn't need to reschedule the FP. I had the LUD after the FP date too.
I have seen that someone had this same status but did anyone ever receive nay other document in mail?? IF so what is it???
Thanks.

Doesn't the date fall on a Sunday? It is probably a system update: I belive that similar things have happened to others. Don't worry and enjoy your weekend.
My EB2- I140 (INDIA) approved on March 09, 2007. We also have received our EAD last year after filing I-485 in July 2007.
I was checking online status and for my I-140, last updated date shows January 06, 2008. (My EB2 PD is OCT 2006). Can any one explain why the I-140 showing update date of 01/06/2008. The online status says following text :
Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Case approved; approval notice e-mailed.
On March 9, 2007, this I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER was approved and we sent you an e-mail notice. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.
I am little bit confuse.
I appriciate your help.
Thank you.
