If I-140 is approved and priority date is current is it possible to keep on extending H1B for couple of years without applying for I-485? I am asking this quetion because my employer is not allowing me to apply for I-485 as my I-140 is pending. It looks like he want to use me for couple of years on H1b.

Let me start my saying that H-1B status and H-1B visa are, somewhat related, but two different things.
If you are currently in the US on H-1B status, and your H-1B status is about to expire, then your employer needs to file a I-129 petition for extension, with a new LCA, to the USCIS. You can do premium processing, and have the response from the USCIS in 15 calender days.
Once you have the approval notice of your extension, you can go to your home country, or Canada or Mexico, and apply for a new H-1B visa.
Though it is your employer's application, you are legally allowed to pay the $1000 for premium processing.
Some posts suggest that it is entirely your employer's headache, but to be honest, it really doesn't work that way, especially if you work for a small company that is not very well versed with the process.
If this post helps you, I would appreciate if you could give us a hand in our ongoing efforts (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16506)!
Good morning all of you:
If you had the experience of renewing your H1B visa could you please advise how is the process?
Thank you for any feedback .

I don't intend to get a second H-1.. The second job that I want to do is just 3-5hrs a week and dont want any sponsorship for it.
U dont have an option. If you want 2 paid jobs, you need to have 2 H1s. I dont know of any exceptions to this rule.

Dear Friends,
My PD (EB3)is Dec-02. I have gone for Finger Printing twice now.
I see lot of reference to '45 Day letter' in the forum . I have no recollection of receiving the '45 Day ' letter so far.
Am I missing something here?
Can any one of you please explain what this letter is about?
Thanks,
Sreekanth
When the state workforce agencies (DOL's) transfered their applications to the Backlog Reduction Centers (BEC), the BEC sent a 45 days letter to the petitioner and the attorney to confirm if they are still interested in proceeding with the pending labor (some were pending for 4-5 years and they do not want to work on it unless the petitioner is still interested). The BEC gives them 45 days to respond, hence the name.

I applied for I-140 in July 2007 using a substitute labor EB2 (from a different company) with a priority date of Nov 2005 and it got approved in May 2008.
During the same July fiasco, my employer at that time applied for I-485 with a priority date of August 2006.
I didn't apply for priority date porting after the substitute labor I-140 got approved because I didn't have the approval notice.
I read somewhere that even though I didn't apply for porting of the date, USCIS will consider the earlier date. How far is this true? How can I find out my correct priority date?
Thank you
Note: I already posted this in 'August Bulletin Out - EB2 India 01MAR06' but discussion there is totally different. So, posted a new thread.

You need to turn in all your I-94 cards, e.g. I-94 below the H1B approval notice, change of status. When you re enter the new I-94 card will have a new number so old ones if you kept would become useless. I would highly recommend that make copies of all your I-94 cards at I-485 they can ask you provide old I-94 cards Have seen cases where this has happened.

Hi folks,
Does anybody know if there is a receipt for I-140?
I'd like to make sure that it was successfully received by processing center. Do you think it is polite to ask my company lawyer for this receipt or since she told me that it was filed I should just sit and relax...:rolleyes:
+++++++++
yes you do get a Receipt notice of I140. ask your lawyer, it is ok. they can even emai you a copy.

Hi everyone,
I got my labor approved under perm on Sept 11th however I have not filed for I140 as yet. This is because of employer making n reasons to file the same. Anyways, if the 45 day rule comes into play - does my labor get cancelled as it has been more than 45 days since it has been approved or does the 45 day period start after April 26th. How many of you think this rule will come out. I hope it does. That way employers will have no choice but to file I 140. A lot of employers now adays are stalling filing the same since they fear the employee will move. Am I the only one facing the same problem or are there others as well?
Thanks and regards

Record $14 trillion-plus debt weighs on Congress - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110115/ap_on_re_us/us_debt_wars)
Taught of debating if it is worth to live here more ??
Basically I came here to earn some money and to have some good life ( cleaning my bathroom myself -- lol )
The way things are going here in US with Jobs / Economy overall thinking if it is worth to live here and worth to get a US Passport or to keep renewing GC.
I know it all depends on each indivisual perspective and views.. but taught of looking other views on this.
Thanks and Regards -- Green_Always :-)
They will print money....and 'hose" the "dollar" savings of Japan, China etc....
The question should be when is China going to figure out an alternative business model other than depressing currency and exporting to US.
Till that time US can print as much as they want and stick it to the a**es of people who buy us treasuries.
China has nowhere else to go !!!!!

As usual to complicate decision making.... :mad:
Today PD (aug 2006 / EB3) is now current :) and I have my I 140 approved.
I also have another job offer which looks great. :confused: But they will start GC only after 3-4 months!
Should I just stick on to my current job and ride it out for 6 months to get EAD?
When does one get EAD 3 months after filing 485 or after 6?
Also if the dates retrogress, will 485 get approved? or Should the date remain current till 485 gets approved?

IV members should take the moral high ground refrain from making frivolous calls to USCIS, so that genuine issues get addressed quickly by USCIS.
You don't want to be holding up the lines over a LUD when someone is waiting for a USCIS customer rep over a denied I-485.

I'm facing a frustrating issue and am hoping that someone can provide help on this. I'm on my H1 10th year extn. My I-140 (EB-3) was recently approved and I cannot apply for I-485 as the visa dates are not available. My Company recently changed their name from ABC, doing business as XYZ, to DEF, doing business as XYZ (the doing business as part of the name is the same and there was no merger, just a name change).
My first question is does this invalidate my approved I-140 and should I refile the I-140. Also, when I file my H-1 extension what document should I provide to prove the name change (or is it even needed?)? Any help on these 2 questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi All,
Please help me on this. Here is the situation:
1. Company A First time H1B - Oct 1, 2004
2. Company B transfer - Jan 22, 2006
3. My current visa is expiring on Jan 22, 2009, but after Jan 22, 2009, I still have till Oct 1, 2010 to complete my 6 years of H1B.
4. Now, my wife who is on H-4 is currently in India on vacation, since she is not in US, her H-4 extension cannot be filed.
My question is, can I file my H-1 extension and go to India and get both of our visas stamped based on my extension? Or does my wife need to come back on her currently valid visa and file for her own H-4 extension?
Please advise and pardon me for my ignorance on this.
Thanks in advance,
DSP
>> can I file my H-1 extension and go to India and get both of our visas stamped based on my extension?
Yes. She can get H4 visa stamp based on your H1 extension approval notice.
