From what I heard when I was in a similar situation, the last approved H application would become her status. Meaning, if you apply for a H1B and a H4 later, if the H4 gets approved after her H1B, her status would automatically revert to a H4 because that was the last approved H application. If her H4 renewal is part of your H1B renewal, you could do yours as a permium processing application. That way, her H4 approval might come through well before her H1B approval.
To answer your last question, if you did not show a valid I-94 till Oct 2007 while applying for her H1B, her H1B approval would come through without a I-94 attached. If that happens, she will have to get her Visa stamped out of the country. Otherwise, she could potentially be without a valid I-94.
Will this be a problem?
I need answers to following questions.
1) Can i apply for mY wife's H4-B renewal while her H1-B application is pending?
2) What will happen, if here H1-B is approved after H4-B renewal is applied and before her Renewal of H4-B is approved?
3) What will happen, if my wife's H1-B is approved before H4-B renewal is applied. On what status will she stay untill Oct 2007. Does she have to go back to India and come back with a visa stamp?
Any other matrix?
thanks

Hi ,
My I140 approved with priority date in November 2007. My wife works for American Vendor and her 6th year on H1B would be over by October 2012. Her company is not willing to initiate GC process. Right now her job is going smooth and could go for little longer. I wanted her to continue till mid of next year and then look for H1B transfer with immidiate GC process. Now the question, Is there any rule that we should start PERM 365 days before end of 6th year? Because I heard that we should file Labor in 5th year (365 days before). I am kind of confused... Please clarify this , I really appreciate it.
Regards.

Dear Friend
I know you are very BUSY. But I want your TWO minutes to REGISTER at the Following website as member.
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php
This is very important organization working for your and mine benefit. This is group of people like you and me who are leading fight for immigration reform for highly skilled immigrants who have high skill jobs or have U.S. master or higher degree.
As you might be knowing currently there is backlog for green cards. Unless some rules are modified you and me will not get green card in next five years. Specifically it is much serious condition for people from India, China, Philippines and Several such other countries. As they send lot of highly skilled immigrants and each country have fixed quota for employment based green card.
I know some of you have not yet started working on your green cards. But when you will start, you will realize that it is like doing another master or Ph.D. !!
Above group is formed by people who came here on student or H-1B visa. They are trying to fight for immigration reform for highly skilled immigrants. When you read or listen any thing about immigration you listen only about undocumented or illegal immigrants. No one talks about improving immigration situation for employment based highly skilled immigrants. Those very few from the business group who talks about highly skilled, are only interested in increasing H-1B, so that they can get more educated employees. But if you work on H-1 you will know H-1B has several limitation like inability to change employer, spouse can not work etc. So it is very important to get Green Card as early as you can, if you are on student or H-1b visa.
In current situation even if you are wise and quick enough to decide to act quickly for green card, you can not do any thing except sending papers to USCIS ( INS) and paying their fee and wait endless till you get frustrated and depressed. If you are waiting for your green card you already know it. If you have not you will know it soon. Green card is almost invisible for Highly skilled immigrants from India, China, Philippines and several other countries residents, because of backlogs, country quotas, FBI name check delays, Labor Certification delays and backlogs etc. (Some of these words may be new to you. )
Employment based green card for highly skilled immigrant fall in EB-1, EB-2 and Eb-3 categories. Even if you have PhD and university job , you do not qualify for EB-1.
and that is only open category. For Eb-1 you need tenure track appointment at University with several years of experience, around 20 research papers and several international awards etc. Those who apply for Eb-2 or EB-3 or NIW ( national interest Wavier) should not hope for green card in next five years under current situation
This excellent group of people comprising of many bright people from India, China and many other countries around world, is very active in Washington D.C to change the above situation in our favor. Though it was formed in 2006 only it has around 10,000 members. All of them are fighting for our green card.
I urge you to take look at their website. I am sure you will be impressed by the work they have done in last one year for highly skilled immigrants. They have already established strong political contacts and are using lobbyist to pursuer changes in laws in our favor. This is right time for you to get involved with your future green card process by supporting this organization so that they become successful in their mission.
Before you go through their entire website, I want all of you to register just as a member. So that they can increase the strength of organization. You all might be knowing that In Washington D.C every thing works based on two numbers, votes and economical. That is why when you listen any thing about immigration you always listen about illegal immigrants, because they are in large numbers and are related to several others who are potential voters. Business group also favors them because of economical reasons.
So this organization of Highly skilled immigrants also need your support as member, to show law makers that it represent several thousand highly skilled immigrants.
(we don�t need to be in millions !!) So before you go through their entire website just register as member. It will not take more than a minute.
I also want you to visit this web site regularly, so that you are aware of what is going on in Washington DC in your favor or against, in reference to your future green card or US citizenship. I visit this web site ten times a day. They give minute by minute picture of the show in Washington DC when it is Hot. Also you need to be part of their email, meet the law maker and other activities as per your time convenience.
Let me add they are doing all the LEGAL activity which is fully permitted under US immigration Laws. Still if you have any doubt you can call them to clear your doubt.
Also they need what ever financial support you can do to them. I am also the financial supporter for them. I have contributed few hundred dollars and registered as monthly contributor. I want them to succeed for my, your and future highly skilled immigrants benefit. Remember they are fighting for our green card, which will give us several more rights compare to our current immigration status. It is better to contribute to them rather than paying several thousand dollars to the lawyers. Lawyers just fill forms (you need to check that three times before submitting !!!) and never promise to get you anything. This organization, I am sure with your, mine and other members support will get lot of work done in Washigton D C. So that probably you will not need lawyer for your green card application, and it will become very easy for you to file for Green Card. They had done lot more than what they promised. You can dig in to their website for making your self educated about there fascinating work. Let me add the core team which run this volunteer organization has spent several thousand dollars from their pocket to make this attempt successful, They are that much committed to success and final goals of organization.
I personally urge all my friends like you to register as member for this organization and also contribute financially, if you can, for benefit of your self, me, as well as future green card applicants from highly skilled immigrant community.
Thanks for taking time to read this and registering as �IMMIGRATION VOICE� member.
If you register please email me back with your screen name so that I know you tool action on my request.
After reading this and registering, if you feel, this organization is for you and me, please forward this request to all your friends who are either on student or H-a visa and will need green card in future. They need to be part of this important movement for their future benefit.
THANKS

Hello All,
I found a unique way to cope with the stress of our immigration nightmare.
I always feared that this long wait to get the status issue settled would kill the entrepreneurial spirit that I have. The burning desire to do my own thing.
I have been trading stocks for the past 4 years or so now but just recently got interested in PDT - Pattern Day Trading (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_day_trader) (Clickable)
I have found it very interesting as well as rewarding in terms of fulfilling the urge to do something more than what I am doing right now.
It is not easy and it is not for the weak hearted but the rewards are wholesome and tremendous.
I would like people who are interested to "PM" me or post replies here so we can exchange ideas
IMP NOTE: Trading stocks is a type of investment so It is perfectly legal to do so. You do not even require an EAD to do so .
No doubt that if you do have EAD you can trade as business entity as well.
Last but not the least
Do not forget to to keep the momentum up at IV and do donate to IV as often as you can .
Now lets Play !!!!!:cool:
I was under impression that being on H1b u cannot do intra day trading.. you can do only routine trading ( dont know excat term ) in which u buy stock and keep it for some time and sell it .. generally 3-4 days..

For comment 2: Since you are giving IV address, you can use IV's name and request to check reference of the sheets which contains name,case....etc.
Comment 1: Actually, I dont know if I should use IV address, and the way I wrote at the top on the letter is the right way. And if so what exactly should we use, just the URL?
Comment 2: The sheets/sign-offs are from people with 'Pending Audit' Audit status, it might be a good idea to somehow describe that in the letter or put it at the bottom. I am not sure how do we tell that these people signed the letter. Do you get my point?
For case number, I already asked the same question to Ron and posted the reply. He believes, if there is no case number and there wont be any weightage or immportance.
I agree but I think we should leave it up to the people, whoever wants to provide its up to them.

I am starting this thread for people to share some nice sweet memories about the rally.
This Part 1 is basically for "WHO MET WHO"
Most of us in these forums - we talked on phones for a long time and discussed a lot of topics - and we met each other in real at the rally.
I was excited - and I want to share some of my experiences.
Please post some experiences on this thread like mine below
I drove from New York with 5 other dedicated IV members ie tnite, tikka, siraviny, ps57002 and a new member Arun
At the Rally I met Niloufer(needhelp) and Vandana, drona and other volunteers at the registration desk and was nice to meet you all.
Then came paskal and gsc999 who stuck a badge on my shirt "chanduv23" and then I met Shivakanth, Vijay Anand and other folks.
After that I met Macaca - lovable guy, some core members like indio0617, ashish, tamsen.
Then I met pappu. As soon as I greeted him he stood up. I thought he was respecting me. I felt honored. But after a while - he was standing up to anyone who greets him. Then I figured out that was his habit - and no respect or whatever :D:D:D
Then met Abhijeet who was carrying his guiter and then jazzbythebay, janilsal and other folks and Jay and Aman and all core team members
Then I met all the Chinese friends in the NY chapter, Jane, Sophia and it was nice knowing them
I did miss out a few names - but overall I loved this experience of meeting you all the folks
chanduv23:
Same here. It was great meeting you all, seeing the faces behind the voices and names. It was an emotional high.
Pappu and me stopped at Union Stn for lunch on the way back after the rally. We were both physically drained and famished. Our jaws dropped when we spotted a desi restaurant there. You all should have seen how we attacked the food !

one another suggestion I have to make is this:
We need to get Indian/Chinese community (citizens) involved to fight for us.
We need to have some of them as leaders in the IV. (they could be people who have struggled with the EB process and identify with us) they could be highly successful Indian/chinese or other countries businessmen/scientists/media personal etc etc (if possible)
Remember the strength of the ilegal community is that their legal brothers and sisters dont hate them but always stand with them.
We somehow ( I have no clue how) need to get this to happen. Also each one of us who are currently here should make a pledge that "Even if my card is printed, I will continue to use the extra freedom that I got to always stand up and fight for my brothers and sisters who are struggling with this system".

But are you saying that both of my above strategies are valid? I remember reading somewhere that one cannot be in I-485 on two applications. Please clarify.

I had similar situation recently. I tried calling CGI houston several times with the nos. listed on the website and no human would answer. If you are homesick, these nos are perfect to give a call. It would just play you a long Indian Classical music over and over again. My ears were still ringing with the music after the call, you can imagine how many times I had called!
Once I was lucky to get through, but not for much help. If anyone picks ups by chance, they would be rushing you like anything and refer you to consult the website.
It is amazing!
I mailed my passport about 3 weeks back to SFO. Have not yet got it. Anybody done it recently?

Well it is worse than you thought.
People who haven't even started their green card process yet can buy a labor from any bodyshop, use it to file their 140 and 485 concurrently and get a foothold in the great american GC mela. Howzaat.
I am not negative if I say --- most IV member want to change job--- frustration with status co may be... --- feeling exploited... --- may be....

screw you oscarzumaran. The very fact that you are so knowledgeable about fake degrees and fake experience tells me that you have good experience doing such things. And whether I port or not is none of your f**** business. I am sure your posts are being watched by IV admins and its only a matter of time you will be thrown where you always belong - DIRTY GUTTER..
eb3retro, no need to get nasty here. We all know that you probably have fake degrees and fake experience that you used to get to the US. Being in EB3 for so long without porting to EB2 proves it. You are worried you will get caught in case you port...aren't you? We get it. I have seen the pathetic English you write. And do you work for an uncle who is keeping your status alive? Surprised how I found out?
So, whose truth came out now? ;)

Besides no one is going to listen to us unless we maintain a long term relationship with many lawmakers by meeting them regularly all across the country. only then will they listen to us as representatives of IV and introduce Bills like this and co-sponsor and vote for it. It also has to do with building relations and trust.
Thats the only way to get them to pass Bills for us.
This is a process that can take months of work to get a Bill introduced and get enough people to vote for it.
Just calling them at the last minute and saying 'lets push for this' or 'why is IV not acting' is not going to do much help without the previous step.
This is an ongoing process that needs to to be done over a long period and its about getting enough votes in house and senate 216+60 to pass. that is how we ensure close to 300 lawmakers will vote for our cause.

This is an ongoing process that needs to to be done over a long period and its about getting enough votes in house and senate 216+60 to pass. that is how we ensure close to 300 lawmakers will vote for our cause.

and what will this walk create awareness abt...during this period of recession and uncertanity???
hey white boy...help me get my GC..so that i can take ur job and u can go flip burgers !
Hi PointlessWait,
The three events we will be walking/running as a Team are about getting our organization's name out in the open. This can help increase membership and further financial support for IV. By getting our name out there, we are sure to encounter more legal immigrants who may not be aware of IV as a resource. Thus introducing them to IV and providing them with a support network for their future immigration issues.
I have introduced this concept to several of my friends all of whom are US Citizens and each of them support legal immigrants who are here in the US working honest, legal jobs. Each of them have already promised that they will join Team IV and support the fundraising of $300 per Individual Member to support IV's longterm lobbying efforts.
IV has had some very significant successes over the past year and your continued support via Team IV can help with IV's long term goals.
I hope you will join us in this campaign!:)
Thanks,
NolaIndian

snathan, your selflessness is inspiring! You followed through and went to the lawyer even though your labor got approved. Good things will come your way.
I have been stuck in audit since December. I am willing to participate/help out although I do belive not much will come out of it. Our cases will take the time they need since it's very hard to rush govt agencies. Especially since immigration is considered a "benefit" (albeit privilege).

The only and simple way to stop H1B abuse is to allow only max 10% non-immigrant (H1, L1, TN etc) employee in a company. Rest 90% have to be Green Card or Citizen. These desi consulting, Indian big companies must be hving at leaset 90 % employees on non-immigrant status.
Simple and universal rule that will solve all the H1B problems
This is a bad idea seeing how the green card process has open ended timelines. Unless something is done to guarantee green card issuance under a reasonable timeline, we are going to see increasing numbers of people waiting on H1 for a green card.

I rode the nc bus to dc (ok raised funds, booked the bus, cajoled/threatened people/got permissions/negotiated deals blah blah...in partnership with ramus and gc_prasad). We started at 2 am from RTP and were in fairfax by 7:00. there were 38 people on the bus including a 2 year old. :) IV had arranged for a halt at a gurudwara in fairfax - we spent about 45 minutes there cleaning up and drinking tea. The bus dropped us off at Franconia/Springfield metro at 8:15...we took a while figuring out those metro farecard vending machines. Some of them wouldn't give us change...some others wouldn't take credit cards. But we survived. In 10 minutes, 38 people had farecards and were raring to go. We got to the monument at half past 9...and folks were already lining up, holding placards. I only had time time to meet my company brethren from Cal and then paskal. I dropped off a stack of petitions with ashish (hopefully they made it to IVs pile). The nc contingent walked together most of the way to the capitol...it was a truly great feeling, having people honk, wave and generally be nice. I could never have imagined myself out on the street, fighting against broken systems...in front of the US Capitol. But yah, it happened. During the speeches, i walked around the audience, asking folks to turn their placards to face their cameras...(something to learn for next time - thats why political events have twin sided placards - so that cameras facing the speaker get the message). After the rally, i got to one lawmaker meeting with????'s staff. They were pretty cool to talk to...while they may be aware of some broad issue with legal immigration, they seemed to fall into the "oh you are talking about h1b quota" trap. We set the framework for discussion early on and clarified the "we are talking about gcs here" point.
Some of my nc colleagues went on to meet ???? - they had a productive meeting there too...perhaps Rahul will write about it. After the meetings we made our way back to the franconia metro, had dinner at the springfield mall food court and left there by 8 pm. We were back in RTP by midnight. In all 22 hours...well spent!

one of the things I did today was send out a note to all my friends groups...while most people seemed to ignore all pleas to join the rally or contribute $, they all seemed to be watching curiously. A lot of them feared going to the rally...some others didnt care. Some others even promised to show up and didn't. But i believe we need the support of these very people, if IV has to grow and become an even stronger force in the future...I shall copy paste wot i wrote, and i encourage all to write to their skeptic friends...only to point to a positive experience and ask for their future participation. So i quote...
"Some might wonder why we participated? Well, how could we give up on a chance to make history and truly understand what it means to live in a democracy. Its not about desperation for a green card, its about fairness and dignity. We believe that we have the right to a fair, open and predictable process and anything else is an affront to our dignity. We believe that the system is broken and can be changed. But change to the system will not come overnight and it will definitely not come with us keeping quiet. So we got out and did what we knew was possible - get the message out, propose solutions, meet congressmen and appeal to people's conscience.
In participating in this movement for change, we realized something else that we would like to share. We realize that the struggle for a fair immigration process is but a process of change just like struggles against oppresion and prejudice of different severities. The only difference is that its a question of dignity and fair process versus segregated facilities and disenfranchisement. Accept one and you accept the other. So if we wonder how the world could have every been a certain way in the past, we don't have to look beyond ourselves. Honest and well intentioned as we might be, if we cannot stand up and say something about something that affects our rights and freedoms as individuals, we are saying that we are OK with all that is around us.
thanks to all who offered support! if you are still on the sidelines, do get involved! Our success depends on all of us making a contribution!"
