Folks,
I was on L1B and H1B for about 2.5 years around 2000-2003. I am now on TN for past 3-4 years and my current employer is going to chagne it to H1B.
The company HR and I are under the impression that this would require a new H1B application (by April 2nd to qualify for the upcoming year 2008 H1B quota). However, the company attorney told us that since I was on H1B in the past, so we don't need to file for a new H1B petition against the 2008 quota...rather we can activate my old H1-B at any time and use the remaining time from the 6 year period.
Does anyone know if there is any such provision to activate the old visa. I am under the impression that as I changed to TN status and no longer hold H1B, so it would require a new petition.
Your opinion would be appreciated.
Thanks.

i've been in the US on a f-1 visa since 2006. i am getting my masters at the moment. i am planning on getting married to my girlfriend who is a US citizen. i have been with her for the past 2 years and am dearly in love with her. we plan on getting married and i was wondering if i get married to her, can i apply for a green card right away or do i have to wait for a while before i can apply for a green card. she is also a student getting her bachelors.
my second question is that if i can apply for a green card then could i take a semester off and return to studying next semester or would that be a problem since i am on an F-1 visa.
i would appreciate it if i could get an answer soon so that i could take the semester off.
thanks.

I am...but most of you ain't, so I figured that it made more sense to use an image you'd be more familiar with.
Edit: Although I should point out that there's no image on the page...the statue is created entirely from the patterns and shading applied to the text.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD EVENING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html

2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.

Current status L1A, exp 9/5/08 (family on L2)
Pending: I-140 EB1C, RD 3/5/07, still no news from Nebraska
Fact: My family members MUST travel to Europe this summer.
Fact: My extension I-129 for a renewed L1A must be submitted to USCIS no later than 6 weeks before 9/5/08.
Fact: I have L1A visa stamp and family have L2 visa stamps with expiration date 9/5/08 in our passports
Question:
How late is the latest my family members can enter US without encountering trouble at the border?
They need to be present in the US to submit the I-539 (extension of stay), but can it be submitted AFTER my I-129 or MUST they be submitted at the same time as an absolute rule?
Please advise.

OK, the hiatus of Immigrant of the Day is officially over. Send me your suggestions and I look forward to highlighting the accomplishments of immigrants contributing to America in many ways. Congrats to Mexican-born Ignacia Moya who at 106 years old has become a naturalized American. She immigrated to the US nearly 40 years ago already in her 70s. Despite her blindness and deafness, Ms. Moya has persevered in seeking citizenship and is realizing her dream after nearly a quarter century of waiting. All of Ms. Moya's children, grandchildren and great-children are in the US including her great-grandson George Bojorquez,...

My company and lawyer refuse to talk to me or email me back.
I sent my completed package to the lawyer 2 weeks back, and I have not heard back from him.
The initial draft needs to be sent back by the lawyer for signatures and then the file can go out.
How do I hadle the situation?

From Matthew Oh's website, sounds like labor sub will be history from next week.
What are people's guesses on how many of the BEC labor certifications will be rendered effectively useless because of this?
Also, does this mean it will be more straightforward to port PD after I140 approval (because the old employer has no benefit to revoking I140 anymore?)?

Mr. Obama might want to consider transferring the authority of setting quotas from Congress to the Labor Department
May be good or bad, depending on how you look at it....we will then be at the mercy of PERM...
If the Labor Department determines that a foreign worker would not displace Americans, that worker should not be barred from entering the country due to an arbitrary quota
This should definitely be high on the agenda.....although its very doubtful if this can ever be implemented.

My H1B was refused under section 221(g) (petitioner is not able or willing to provide employment....) and case has reached USCIS for review. The lawyers however are asking me to travel on H4 and then convert to H1 in US and they say this can be done in 2 weeks. I am so very skeptical about this! How is this even possible?
Their response is that i have an H1B from earlier quota, so i can get a new petition filed and start working on it once its approved.How come people dont do this if its valid?
My questions if anybody can help me are
1) Can i go on H4 visa without revoking my H1B petition which is under review with USCIS? Or will consulate ask me to revoke my H1B petition?
2) If i go on H4, can i really get a COS to H1 in US i.e. not the April 2011 quota but in the already assigned quota and i can start working within a few days of approval?

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has updated the count (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=138b6138f898d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=13ad2f8b69583210VgnVCM100000082ca60a RCRD) of H-1B petitions received and counted towards the 65,000 cap.
As of November 20, 2009, 56,900 H-1B cap subject nonimmigrant visa petitions have been filed with the USCIS. The Service has advised that they will continue to accept petitions until the cap is reached.
Qualifying applicants are still able to petition for an H-1B nonimmigrant visa (http://www.mvplawgroup.com/workvisas.php?action=h1bvisa) under the general cap.
If you or your company need assistance in filing for an H-1B nonimmigrant visa, contact our office (http://www.mvplawgroup.com/contact.php) today at 1-800-447-0796.
