My company has just changed the rules. From now they are unwilling to pay the costs incurred in the visa extensions for the spouse.
Is this legal? Does anyone have any links etc that I can pass on to HR if this is illegal. Thanks.
Under the law, the employer is only obligated to pay the training fee, i.e. $750 or $1500. The rest of the fee including the H-4 fee can be paid by the employer or the employee.

Hi,
I will be done with my second master's this July 29. I have two months grace period to leave the country as I already used my OPT after my first master's. I have a job offer and they are willing to do my H1B which starts from October 2011. But my two months grace period will end this september 29. If my H1B is filed in September under Premium processing, will I be in status or out of status for those two days. Did any one face similar problem before. If so, can you please give me the solution?
Thanks,
KEDoubt
You can extend your F1 status under "cap-gap" relief
USCIS - Extension of Post-Completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) and F-1 Status for Eligible Students under the H-1B Cap-Gap Regulations</br> Questions and Answers (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=1d175ffaae4b7210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=6abe6d26d17df110VgnVCM1000004718190a RCRD)
Here is an extract but please read the entire document carefully from the above link
Q4. How does a student covered under the cap-gap extension obtain proof of continuing status?
A4. The student should go to their Designated School Official (DSO) with evidence of a timely filed H-1B petition (indicating a request for change of status rather than for consular processing), such as a copy of the petition and a FedEx, UPS, or USPS Express/certified mail receipt. The student�s DSO will issue a preliminary cap-gap I-20 showing an extension until June 1.
If the H-1B petition is selected for adjudication, the student should return to his or her DSO with a copy of the petitioning employer�s Form I-797, Notice of Action, with a valid receipt number, indicating that the petition was filed and accepted. The student�s DSO will issue a new cap-gap I-20 indicating the continued extension of F-1 status.

Hey here is a situation:
I have over 7 years of experience in IT
Come with a 4 year bachelor and 2 year masters from India from a non-computers background.
Have a diploma (1 year in computers)
few other computer certificate courses.
I work for Fortune's Best software company as sr. software qa engineer. My company wants to go ahead filing for my GC.
My company attorney says am not eligbile for EB2 based on the above but eligible for EB3. I am confused because I already have an EB2 being filed for future employment from a small company.
So I kind of guessing my company attorney's want to play safe to be on EB3 rather than EB2.
So what do u guys think that my company attorney is correct.
My understanding is that with the above qualifications, I am eligible for EB2.
Am I wrong????
Why EB2 ? Isn't EB3 doing better for India than EB2.

does that mean no hope left ? what r the other options ? isn't this whole process is for future employment and if i am licensed now than whats the problem in future employment i don't understand that part "future employment". i am on h1 now and if i will get my residency than i will be working at that position and i am licensed now. then why does the old date matters.
is it true guys ??
Because the LC is for a particular qualiication that needs to have happenned at that time - would it be ok if they calculate a new LC salary by adding the inflation?

Any comments?
actually if you track the threads on immigrationportal.com, a ton of old-timers have gotten their GCs. A large number of these were EB3-India [2001-2004], so that 18k number does not look odd to me.
Does it look odd to you? Why?

Hey m0r,
Yeah that is a great idea. I hope to have some Swift 3D V3 tutorials out soon that cover a lot of stuff such as movement. Maybe a Swift 3D Open Source section; I won't mind to have that placed on the site :)
Cheers!

Are you saying client company will not pay for the expenses or it will not sponsor H1 visa? If the Client Company does not sponsor H1 visa, i do not think you an sponsor yourself.You can pay for your expenses if client company sponsors H1 visa.
Thanks for your reply.
I read that with a signed offer letter from the company we can transfer.If they give me the letter and not pay any expenses can I still transfer?

Hi ,
my experience with O visa is that paperwork, presentation, previous track record of the lawyer with USCIS is critical
so in this case, absorbing the 5000 cost difference may be a good idea
Of course you can always ask your employer if they are willing to take that hit but as you know you have a 50 % chance there at the best
So decision is yours

If the company has processed your H1-B and they have fired you. Probably you are entitled for return fare to your home country. Because somewhere under some clause of H1B application, company has to sign that they will give return ticket to employee when the work is done. Please do some home work. Go to USCIS site and look for details needed to file H1-B application. Or if you have your H1 paperwork, look into it. You will stumble on something.

Should out of status H1Bs be locked up or deported... - Dice Discussions (http://community.dice.com/t5/Tech-Market-Conditions/Should-out-of-status-H1Bs-be-locked-up-or-deported/td-p/196283)
H1B Immigrants are fighting with each other on websites and here antis are discussing this
First of all, is your profile legitimate? It shows your PD as Dec'07 / EB3/India and you are in 485 processing??????
anyway, as long as some fools doesn't admit the facts and realize the changing world, all those forums / blogs / hatred etc; will be just a waste of their time. ofcourse they have been wasting watching stupid games in TVs / Stadiums instead could use 'that' time to gain some new skills / learn new technologies that are required to survive in the job market.

Hi,
I have a master's degree from a top US university but my current employer applied my GC in the EB3 category. I am planning to move to a different company which is willing to apply in the EB2 category. I have an approved 1-140 with the current employer and my I-485 was sent in July/August. Here are the steps I think I should take after moving to the new company:
1) After I move to the new company, I can send AC-21 and continue my GC in the Eb3 category.
2) File a new LC. Send new I-140 in EB2 asking them to use the old PD from the approved EB3 category.
My question is
1) Will I run into any issues for my EB3 because the new I-140 is in EB2? I dont want to jeopardise my EB3 application.
2) Should I not send AC21 if I am planning to switch to EB2 category. My current employer does not revoke I140 even after I move to the new company (anyway, I am doing this after 180 days of I-485).
Any input is appreciated.
