Oh my God. This is too much. I cant believe it that these desi blood suckers employers can go to that level. This is height of explotation that person even does not know that when exactly his labor and I140 got applied.

i spent around 3000$ for studies, could get only 2000$ under lifetime...
is there anyway i can claim the entire 3000?
Yes, if you are married filing jointly and your combined income is less than 130,000 you can claim a tuition deduction of 4000USD. If you are above 130K but less than 160K your deduction is 2000USD. If you are around borderline for 130K, just buy a traditional IRA which reduces your AGI. Read this part of Pub 970 if you need more help

Do you have a legal reference for the > 50 miles rule ? In my case it is just 10 miles (moved from one town to next town). So I guess I am fine ?
Krish,
it is not all black and white, if your previous LCA covers the new work location, you should be fine, else a new LCA is required.

I am no expert in this. But my best guess is that, he immediately need to contact the "indian consulate" and file a report. I believe the report date is important in future, in case if you need to give some explanations. Explain the situation to USCIS also. But I believe USCIS may need a new passport to re-issue the I-94. For the next travel, he might need to goto US consulate in India, and apply for B2 again.
Hi my father lost his passport at the airport today and with it his I94 and US B1 visa. We do have scanned copies of his US Visa and Passport. I would appreciate any pointers on the following question -
1. What are my next steps?
2. I figured from browsing few sites that he needs to apply for I94 - does any one know of any vague ETA there?
3. Would he have to go through his visa stamping again?
Much apprecaite your reply.

I do not understand what the need is to change to F1. One can do Masters while on H4. If you are thinking she needs OPT to work after Masters, It is a 2 year course, right?. You can decide after 1-1/2 yrs if you want her to move to F1.

this spring�s defunct immigration bill partially replaced with a skills-based system.
This statement is confusing between SKILL BILL and Point based system bill.
I cannot make which one he has in mind for us, can you guys comment.

I am speculating this. Elite people in USA predicted this situation in early 90s and they put Country quota. We all knew that countries like UK, Germany, France are Staunch Allies of USA for many decades. So USA did not want those country persons to wait years . India was least favored country in past due to many political reasons. Though it is changing now still USA may like to give preference to many of their close Allies. Canada had TN Visa but India does not have similar thing. If this is a speculation then it is possible to change Country Quota. I strongly believe that it is easier to increase GC quota or recapture bill than removing country quota.
Actualy per country quota was made in 60s replacing and even more rigid system that alloted quotas based on existing us population origin (mainly from western europe) by
Senator Kennedy.

I was also taken aback initially when I read this. The 8 year wait doesnt apply to title 5. Title 5 already is designed to clear the backlog of EB immigration from 6 years to 0/at best minimum since quota is increased and there are exemptions. The 8 year backlog refers to family based.
I was shocked as well, when I read about that in the other thread. Thanks for clarifying this Pappu!

Guys, Sorry for my ignorance but
I was checking vfs-usa.co.in website and in "Immigrant Visas for East & West " section, its written
An immigrant visa allows the person receiving it to live and work indefinitely in the United States. Immigrant visas are issued based on approved I-129F, I-130, I-140, I-360, or I-600 petitions that establish a family- or employment-based relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary.
I have my I140 approved through a american company and my h1b is getting expired in june 09.
According to above wordings, I can get a visa to live and work indefinitely,based on my approved I140. I have never heard about it.
Might be some one can explain what is exactly means.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Ok, so the above says that you can get a "immigrant visa" based on approved 140 (for your case). In order to get that "immigrant visa" that will allow you to work "indefinitely", you need to actually apply for the the "visa". Based on your 140, you can apply for this "immigrant visa" in two ways. If you are outside of the country, do what is called "consular processing" where you apply for a immigrant visa at a US consulate in a different country. If you are already (legally) in the US, you apply for what is called adjustment of status. The problem is that these "immigrant visas" based on 140 are in short supply compared to demand. Join the queue.
... so whats your confusion?

What are you saying he has no valid visa on his passportm his papers are valid. People who have a valid I-94 and like H1B - Valid i-797 can legally work in US without a valid visa on the passport.
Well getting a transit visa to france depends on the rules the French government has. Ask your travel agent.

That is true, however, would that result in the 140 being cancelled? As per several discussions the 140 can still be used for extensions (assuming that the 140 has not been revoked/cancelled by USCIS due to fraud and that the PD is not current for that catagory). Again this is debatable and there are lots of opinions on this issue out there.
Some people say that the PD of the older 140 (even if revoked/cancelled by the former employer) can be used when the new company clears the labor and is applying for the new 140.
You need to consider two scenarios here...
First: Approved I-140 revoked by employer, since the employee is no longer with him and or employer no longer want to proceed with immigrant worker petition.
In this case the beneficiary of I-140 can recapture priority date to a future immigrant worker petition by his prospective employer ( at new I-140 stage)
Second: Approved I-140 revoked by USCIS due to Fraud
In this case the employer or employee can no-longer eligible to use that I-140 , which includes recapturing priority date.
Remember: To get H1B extension beyond 6th year one need to have valid approved and/or pending labor/I-140.
If the PERM labor expires then you can not use that to get 1 year extension
If I-140 revoked by employer then you can not use that to get extension even for the same employer ( if you come back to him):p

You need visa to enter or exit. When you exit you need to turn in I94 on the pp with the stamp of your entrance as well as your new extension. On entrance they will check the old visa and write down the visa number on the new I94 that they officer will provide. The I94 usually has the visa duration as the end date. Next you apply for an amended h4 to reflect the new I94 number which was provided at the POE. Asfar as I know the I94 date is always linked to a visa and not the Notice of Action.
what's the process for amending H4 and how much time does it take ?

Hi Andhrawala,
I'm not at all surprised if USCIS call center people give conflicting information. When I called they asked me to file in Texas but gave me wrong P.O. Box number and wrong zip code.
In the EAD/AP filing instructions form in the USCIS website, it is clearly mentioned that we have to file EAD/AP as per the state we live in and not as per where our I-485 is present.
As my lawyer also told the same thing, I went ahead and sent my application to Texas service center. (I wasted 2 weeks in this dilemma though!) I'm kind of hoping that if I get a query or something later, I can say that I followed instructions at USCIS website.
I would say get in touch with your companies lawyer one time. Also call USCIS service center one more time and see what they will say this time. :-)
