Guys,
I applied for Advance parole in 1st week of August. I called to expedite it on 2nd sept (due to family emergency) and they responded back to my request saying they had already approved my application on 1st Sept and mailed me a notice. Since I didn't receive it even after 3 weeks, I was sure my approval notice got lost in mail so I applied again (since I had to leave to India immediately because of the family emergency) and 2nd application reached them on 22nd sept and on 28th I received a receipt notice for the second application. On 24th sept I got an email saying my first AP application was approved and I received that notice on Oct 1st. Now my second application is pending and I have to leave latest by this Thursday. People are saying I can write a letter to TSC asking to withdraw my second application and they will just withdraw it. But now is it safe to travel before I hear something about my second application? Anyone been in this situation before? pls advice.

I can see potential, but the shot doesn't do much for me. What does interest me is the interplay of the branch, stump, and light on top of the stump. Can't tell if there's anything there, but might be worth exploring. Other angles might make the overall stump shot more interesting. Hard to say.

I work with a consulting company on client side. The client is planning a shutdown for 2 days a month - 2nd and 4th Friday.
Do you guys think its gonna impact 485 application. I am asking this question cause the labor was approved for 40/hrs per week and the salary slip shows the number of hrs worked per month which will be lesser than 160 (in case the month has 4 weeks).
BTW, I am on EAD and 140 approved couple of years back.
Thanks
Pavan -
You should maintain 40/hr per week. This could mean - your consulting company paying these days for your "full time job". The other option is - taking paid time off for these days. Again, it should be paid time off.
Good Luck.

Thanks for quick reply.
As of now, my friend is getting trained by local institutes in other IT realted field and searching for job. If things go well he might get a project in a month or so.
Q.Till he gets a project what risk does he have to his status?
Q.If he gets a project will everything be ok?
Pls advise
Thank you.
1. If he is in H1B and not getting salary its out of status.
2. As long as there is no investigation or in the GC process or next time stamping - if there is no RFE or the IO is not asking for the pay stub, W2 he is fine.
3. If they ask pay stub or tax statement while stamping or gc process he will be in trouble

The suggested procedure generally is, (assuming you got stamped with Employer A while in India and you want to work with Employer B as soon as you land)
1. File a new independent petetion
2. at Port of Entry, show the I-797 of company B, so that your I-94 records the right company you intend to work.
With quota over for the year, you cannot file another H1 and follow above approach.
When quota was not an issue until 3 years ago, the above scenario worked.
Now you dont have an option because in I-129 (H1b application) form, you will be counted against the cap unless you are already in US in same status i.e on H1. Since you are not in US, you cannot avoid not being counted againts the cap.
So the only way is to come in to US with intention to work for Employer A and then look for moving to employer B

As far as I know priority date can ony be transfered when the I-140 is approved. Go ahead and get both I-140 approved and use the earlier date towards the new one at the time of filing of I-485.

Hi, I wanted to know if it is possible for me to maintain my H1 status (and my wife's H4) status while re-entering the US using I-131 Advance Parole document without a valid H1 visa stamp in my passport.
Here's my situation: -
1. I have been on H1 status for the past 6+ years.
2. My current employer filed for an H1 renewal/extension petition for years 7-9 which has been approved and we have the approval notice.
3. My wife's H4 renewal petition has also been approved.
4. We both have filed for I-485 Adjustment of Status which is pending with USCIS due to retrogression.
5. Our H1 & H4 visa stamps in the passport expired in September of 2009.
6. We are planning to leave the US for about a month in Nov-Dec and do have valid I-131 documents for purposes of re-entering.
At the port of entry, can we show our H1/H4 approval notices to the IO and request that he stamp our new I-94s for a H1/H4 status?
Thanks
Showing H1/H4 notice will lead to confusion and @POE, officer will not issue I-94 per H1/H4 notices. Rather, you show your AP and re-enter the country, and your I-94 will be issued as Parolee w/ the validity of 1 year. You can still work for your H1B employer in H1 status and continue to renew when it expires. My 2 cents.

If I want to do premium processing of my H1 visa, how long does it take for an approval or denial ?
Actually I had an H1 visa 2 years back and when I had my baby I quit my job and my H1 was cancelled by my company. Now I am on H4 and want to work again. But no company is doing H1 these days without a job offer in your hands and even if I get a job offer no client company is willing to wait for a long time for my H1 approval. So, I wanted to check my options with premium processing. How long does it take if I go for premium processing of H1 visa ?

Like I said earlier, you have 240 days before you go out of status. If you are receiving an RFE, it means your case is under review. Upon receiving your response to the RFE, the officer should be able to adjudicate case fairly soon. However, if you are nervous, I recommend file for an expedited review when sending your response. That said, I would hate to pay the extra $$$$ if I don't have to.

This is a standard text of USCIS, you should hear from them with in 15 calendar days of response receive date as it is PP. Ask your company/attorney to get in touch with USCIS.
