I also don't think this is true. After you get your 3-year H1B extension beyound the 6-year limit and say your 485 gets denied while you are in 7th year, you can still stay and work for the rest of the 2 years on your H1B and use those 2 years to file for new LC etc.
Gurus, please advise, with the slew of mistaken 485 denials this is an important point to clarify.
He will be out of status. Your 3 year extension beyond the allowed 6 years is based on that LC/I-140 from which your I-485 was filed. If the I-485 is rejected you have no right to stay beyond 6 years.
It is best to not use more than 3 years of H-1 if you have a pending I-485. That way you have 3 more years of H-1 in case you get rejected. The pending I-485 gives you unlimited time in the form of EAD/AP. Dont waste your H-1 time.
It only makes sense to keep H-1 while you have AOS if your country of chargeability is ROW, which is usually current. If your country is backlogged, it will most likely extend your H-1 over six years. Please consult a proper immigration attorney before you do anything.

I totally agree with the majority opinion here.
That IV is the best organised, dedicated organisation out there looking out for people I can identify with.
Have they done a good job? The question is the other way round. This is an open organisation. The core members are easily accessible. Anyone who is willing to contribute in terms of volunteer work, if not contribution, is more than welcome. What are You willing to do?
This is not a rhetorical question... I'm not what they call the core member.. I'm on the outermost orbit. I just contribute money (once, till now) and log in once in a while. But at least I�m doing something, and it makes me feel a little better that for a change, I�m contributing to a genuine bunch of people who are willing to make personal sacrifices for something that affects me.
That said, is all criticism bad? Here is where it gets a little tricky.
Why is that?? Lots of reasons.. About the dangers (and futility) of having a zero-tolerance for criticism in an open web-based community. Some of it, though, does provide a pointer to the complexity of the issue. For instance, one of IV's goal is to guard against discrimination against legal immigration. Queue jumping, in short. Yet, thousands of us are stuck in BEC's (Dallas and more importantly, Philly), awaiting a "labour" certificate. The whole process is idiotic and obviously there is something seriously fishy there since there has been no significant movement in years.. and everything is handed to a 'private' contractor for data entry and software development, and there is NO communication or transparency. (Yeah, you can blame my innate cynicism, but coming from where I come from, I can smell corruption a mile away - and this thing stinks!). Is it on IV's radar? I believe so, and there have been very clear and positive statements on strategy regarding this issue on IV.com. Also, I understand that the focus should be on maximising our efforts on the immediate issue, which is the legislation - especially given our limited resources.
But I would love to have it moved a little towards the centre of the radar screen rather than languishing on the periphery..

As somebody said earlier, it's not right a forcing statement that donate. When I read the first reply of my email was not something which I asked advice but a dontation I was somewhat flustered. IT reached the limites when somebody mentioned cancel your trip of Bahamas and donate.
I would just say please mind your own business in these things if you don't want to give advice, dont act like some jerk and tell me what to do and what not to do..
By the way I have already donated money in past before DC rally and will donate again.
Please don't spoil the spirit of forum and act maturely!!! Also people have repped in wierdes ways as well on this post.
Bunch of losers. I am done with this forum.
Please do not question the dedication of the people involved. I think you being upset is okay.
answers to your questions.......
On Cruises generally they do not ask about visas but it always is better to get one. We went on one 2 years back and had visas for all the countries that we went to. None was checked.....but if you do not have the H1 stamped then you will have to use AP to re-enter. There is always an immigration officer when you come back to US. They check all paper work and ask questions. We were asked. We had stamped H1/H4 visas.
To be safe always check with some/your lawyer. I did and they were very helpful in this regard (and not in others though).
Please do not abandon the forum as it has been created to help all. While you are here consider donating a small token to show support. This is request and not a demand.

Oh, so when you made the statement below you were not assuming everyone fakes their projects because YOU fakes yours? All of a sudden you became this guy that has never faked his resume! From your statement anyone would assume that you are not the guy you are claiming to be - genuine!
As an architect i participate in interviews of dozens of people all the time for all positions in my teams and I know how they fake resume's. Anyway enough of this .. there is no point in responding to this diatribe..apparently you have too many frustations
have a great day

I would go with the prediction in the Jan 2010 Visa Bulletin:
WHAT ARE THE PROJECTIONS FOR CUT-OFF DATE MOVEMENT IN THE EMPLOYMENT PREFERENCES FOR THE REMAINDER OF FY-2010?
Based on current indications of demand, the best case scenarios for cut-off dates which will be reached by the end of FY-2010 are as follows:
Employment Second:
China: July through October 2005................CHINA IS ALREADY AT NOV 2005...SO THIS HAS HAPPENED
India: February through early March 2005.........ONE MONTH BEHIND HERE....NOT BAD WITH THE PREDICTION
If Section 202(a)(5)were to apply:
China and India: October through December 2005 ..................THIS IS THE SPILLOVER CHANCES FOR JULY-SEPT 2010....MOST LIKELY IT WILL CLOSE AT JAN 1, 2006
I tend to agree with you. Projections by DOS seems to be closer to reality.
I would stay conservative contrary to many other predictions.
1) China moving to Nov 2005 is a good thing for India. This means India will get all the remaining fall-down/fall-across numbers until priority date reaches Nov 2005. After that both India and China will share and move the dates by a month or so. This should get India to Dec 2005 to Jan 2006.
2) Many see the dates have not moved much for so many months. So they can be skeptical about the date movements in the last few months. The reason why i anticipate much larger movements in the final months is due to the fact that India gets about 3 times more visas through fall-across/fall-down than what is alloted for just India.
2009 info
Country cap for Eb-2 - aprox. 2800
2009 India for Eb-2 was 10,116.
fall-down/fall-across numbers 10,116 - 2800 = aprox. 7316
So we can see that visa movement for India (Eb-2) is greatly influenced by the number of fall-down/fall-across which seem to happen mostly in the last quarter.

I think Acceptance agents are different than the IRS authorized banks. Agents would merely accept W-7 forms... Where as bank would accept W-7 froms to open a chacking a/c or savvings a/c. More light on acceptance agents would be appreciated.

I would not wait until April to be told by HR, Sorry we cannot do it or we will do it at our own pace. I mean, what is so difficult for HR or attorney to decide in filing your Perm? Do they need to do meetings about you everyday for 2 months to decide if they need to file for you?
Is that how corporates work? Imagine if you are given a project and you tell them to come back and talk after 2 months. Dude your end of H1B countdown has already started and you need to act even if you have a buffer time. I have also heard that if a company has layoffs, the company cannot do PERM for 6 months. So what if some layoffs happen until April? You maybe in a soup.
I suggest you take a hard look and do what is in your best interest. Put your own interest over all interest.

This is not a valid reasoning. The "no" is not related to immigration intent. It is related to if you made factually correct statements.
You need to *prove* that you have no intention for immigrating to US. Your intention is within your head; it does not start from any given date or given action by USCIS. The IO needs to "read your mind". The legal standard is that the court concedes that no one can know for sure what one's intentions are, however, the immigration officer can make a reasonable guess at the intentions by observing the actions you took or someone else took on your behalf.
In your case:
1. Someone filed I-130 for you. This is for permanent immigration to US.
2. You have family ties in US.
3. You have traveled to US before (I do not know how frequently).
4. You want to join a university that does not even have your major; that too you do not know what exactly you will study in that university. This itself is a very strong indication (at least in my mind) that you are not really interested in the education, but you applied to that university just for coming to US.
All together, it shows a clear pattern of observable evidence that your intention is to immigrate to US.
Thank you for your response raysaikat! Could you please rephrase your first part of the answer "This is not a valid reasoning. The "no" is not related to immigration intent. It is related to if you made factually correct statements."? It's a bit confusing.
You're saying I need to *prove* that I have no intention for immigrating to US. Do you mean that they must clearly see that I have no intention to stay in the US after I finish college? The I-130 form is pending so it's obvious I have such intentions. However, the process takes a very long time. Do you think that if I prove that I plan to go back home after school and then wait for the process in my home country I'll be issued a visa? Do they have information regarding the "I-130" process in their database? I mean there is a chance they don't even ask about it. Well, last time we applied they didn't.
Also, do you think that my previous false response to the application form question could in some way affect my I-130 process? I mean I've returned back so in my understanding it shouldn't be a problem. Please explain.
If I get lucky and get a visa issued. What happens next? Is it easy to switch to a working "H1B" visa from "F-1" visa and maintain this status until the end of the "I-130" process? I mean switching to "H1B" after I finish college. Is it ok to leave the country while on "H1B" status while "I-130" pending? Please comment. Thank you.

Good luck. I am still hunting in NJ and want to get preapproved.

I would love to take the lead with this project. I have done a fund raising initiative for Arthritis Foundation of America when I ran the Mardi Gras Marathon in honor of my mom. I raised $1,100 in a 6 month period for the AFA. The idea I have is that Team IV members will participate at their local events and we should pick 3 national events such as the Chicago Marathon/Half Marathon, the Breakers 10K (is that San Diego?) and even the Crescent City Classic 10K right here in my hometown. Team IV should be well represented at these 3 national events.
Team IV members can set up an e-mail support group when training for any events. There are numerous on-line training guides which we can use. And I can also look into the idea of an on-line training coach.
I already have the committment from 4 friends, all of whom are US Citizens, to join this Team because they support our cause.
This is great NolanIndian and I wish you guys all the best!!! Unfortunately I am going to have to watch from the sidelines so to speak as I have ongoing bursitus from marathon antics in 2006--Go IV and watch out for those joints and tendons ;)

Anyone thinking that recession is confined to a specific industry or geography needs to do a reality check. I am not saying we are in recession or we will be in one soon. I will leave that to forecasters. But core to all the down markets/recession/bear market is consumer confidence and inflation. Now what we are seeing in Finance industry could trickle down to tech in a quarter or two, simply because Financial sector spends big on tech and downturn in any specific industry erodes consumer confidence.
In 2001 it started with tech but financial and other sectors also took a big hit (take a look at the layoff figures from tristate area). The reason then and now as has always been was consumer confidence. In 2001, tech downturn and stock market correction eroded consumer confidence. As they say we can actually talk ourselves into recession by simply feeling depressed about economy and hence directly affecting consumer confidence.
As far as layoffs go, during 2000/2001 a large chunk of people left the industry (tech/telecom) never to come back again. Some of them remain unemployed/underemployed some moved to Real estate. Each down turn systematically purges bottom 20-30% who never get employed at the same level. Generally the most vulnerable ones are older workers or fresh college graduates.

How confident can Nikon users be that Nikon can maintain pace in the professional DSLR arena?
While pros are buyers for high-end DSLR, there are many serious hobbyists and rich individuals (majority?) for that market too.
What does a MAP $4,500 1D-II meant to me, a long time Nikon loyalist waiting anxiously to switch to Canon? I don't expect to get a 1D-II lower than the MAP price before 2004 year end. If I need the pixs, a $2,600 14MP Kodak 14n is extremely attractive for landscape now. I can opt for a used D1x around $2,000 too.
For a cost sensitive person like me (not can't but don't), I am NOT getting the 1D-II, and switch, not soon. Am I the extreme minority? George, the manufacturing jobs have gone to China, and more IT jobs are going to India. We are bleeding; come down here and see it yourself!

Given the hopelessness of the situation in March, switched jobs and was unable to file labor for a variety of reasons. Now everyday I see people come over and tell me how they plan to switch jobs once the 6 month mandated hibernation is over...I feel like breaking something. Lot of them have even stopped working, confident that a new job awaits :mad:
