Hi all,
I came to US on F1 student visa for Masters. After completion i had my OPT(from sep/1/2007 to sep/2/2008). My employer applied for H1 in april/08 and i got approved. So currently my status is H1 starting from Oct/1/2008.
Iam a consultant (Oracle PL/SQL developer) & i was on the project for a few months(from june/08 to august/08). Since august, iam on bench period and not getting paid by my employer & currently looking for a project!!!
My questions are;
1) How long can i stay like this on the H1 visa without getting paid or untill i get into a project; even though iam employed by the company and, are there any restrictions?
2) Will it cause any problem in future?
3) Also i have to go for the H1 stamping; any guidelines on tht?
Thanks

Obviously, the prospects for major immigration reform legislation are being dealt a blow this evening. But it looks like the lord of the anti-immigrants - Tom Tancredo - is going down to defeat in the Colorado governor's race. Marco Rubio seemed to push an Arizona-like law for Florida in the election campaign, but his speech this evening was all about the immigrant dream. Perhaps he'll follow in Mel Martinez's footsteps and lead in re-establishing a pro-immigration Republican caucus. Exit polls are showing that immigration was NOT driving most voters decisions. And it's a little early to call it, but it...

Can the primary applicant travel on AP while an MTR is filed to appeal the denial for the dependent? NOD was issued as a result of CIS erroneously stating that the non-immigrant status of the dependent lapsed for over 180 days.

While taking a VISA appointment , there is a question which says "Are you applying for same visa class that expired in the last 12 months?"
Here are my doubts
1. I had a H1 B VISA which expired in May 2007 processed by my previous employer. As I am applying for the same VISA class , but though a differnt employer, should the answer be 'YES'?
2. Since my daughter will be appearing for the H4 VISA interview for the FIRST TIME, Is she also eligible to come along with me if I choose "YES" to the question "Are you applying for same visa class that expired in the last 12 months?".
Thanks in advance.

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.

Current visa: F-1

OPT starts June 2011
H-1b approved starts Oct 2011
Job starts August 2011 (cannot work remotely and not more than 1 month leave)
Name starts with a common Muslim name 'M-'
Parents frequently come to the US but I may need to travel to Pakistan for emergencies or perhaps to get married. Should I go to Pakistan or Canada for H-1b stamping or is too risky with the lengthy administrative processing (221-g)?

The ridiculous amount of time DOL is spending on the Perm Audits in just incomprehensible. They still approved 1 may be 2 application a day, thats my assumption. Last time I saw they are still processing audited-applications filed in Aug/Sept 2007.
Any word on how what their plan is? They really do have bunch inefficient people working for government!!!

Maybe few visas might get rejected because they would have tried to stay in USA permanently. Yes, you may apply for L1 visa extension using Form I-129, and L Supplement. Extensions of two years at a time may be allowed until you have been in the U.S. for a total of seven years if you are a manager or executive.

USCIS has updated the H-1B cap count. (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=138b6138f898d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=91919c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) As of December 8, CIS has received approximately 61,500 cases against the regular (non-Master's) H-1B cap of 65,000. However, since CIS sets aside up to 6,500 of this 65,000 for nationals of Chile and Singapore, it is possible that they will stop accepting other H-1B petitions soon, if not already. We are still filing new petitions, but with fingers crossed that they are not too late. If you need to file, please do so ASAP.

I see the following address in the I-485 form. But it is a PO Box address.
P O Box 87485

I think Fedex will not accept PO Box address. Is it true ? So, what is the correct address for sending I-485 and I-765 using Fedex Overnight ?
Please help me.

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.

Did anyone notice that Compete America seem to have changed its website recently? I visited their website after sometime and it seems that they changed it recently.
It is good to see Bill Gates and Eric Schmidt bring the focus back on green card wait times -

I am not sure if my current employer is still part of Compete America. They used to be part of it earlier.
