The reason I ask is, someone sent me this from the NAFSA Adviser's Manual (2006 release) (check the last point) -
7.27.2.1 Exception for travel to Canada or Mexico for 30 days or less
Under the "automatic extension of validity at ports-of-entry" provision, an H-IB alien may reenter the U.S. after a trip solely to Canada or Mexico that lasted no more than 30 days, without the need to obtain a new H-IB visa, even if the individual's prior H-IB visa has expired.
H-1B automatic revalidation different than that for F and J nonimmigrants
F and J nonimmigrants can use the automatic revalidation of visa provision not only after a trip to Canada and Mexico, but after a trip to the islands in the Caribbean as well. H-lB travel under this provision is limited to Canada and Mexico only.
7.27.2.2
Continued validity of H visas after employer change If the H-IB worker has changed employers since first entering the United States and has a valid visa annotated for the previous employer, he or she may reenter the U.S. using that visa, provided he or she presents a valid H-IB approval notice for the new employer upon reentry to the United States.
7.27.2.3 Revalidation of H visas in the United States no longer possible
Prior to July 17,2004, nonimmigrants in H status could apply for a new H visa through the DOS Visa Office in Washington, D.C., but only if they had already obtained one visa abroad in the category being applied for. This process was known as "revalidation." Effective July 17, 2004, the Department of State no longer accepts applications for revalidation of H visas.
7.27.2.4 H-1 B visa eligibility after an extension of H-1 B status beyond 6 years
Caution! H-IB nonimmigrants that have received extensions ofH-lB status beyond 6 years under AC21 continue to be bound by the requirement to have a valid H-IB visa for entry to the United States after travel abroad. If the nonimmigrant's visa has expired, he or she will
have to obtain a new H -1 B visa on the basis of an approved H -lB petition in order to reenter the United States, like any H-IB nonimmigrant.
It is not clear if this is exclusive of 7.27.2.1. See me dilemma?

Hey BacktoSchool
If you have EB3 2002 labor approved( I have not seen that in your post) now.
If the above statement is true, then File another labor in EB2 through perm which will be approved in 6 months.
Get I-140 of both EB3 and EB2 labor approved via premium.
USE EB3 priority with the EB2 labor, that means you can file for I-485 and get EAD because the proprity date EB2 category is accepting is Jan-2003 and your priority is June 2002.
Think on this, ask your employer and lawyer, couple of my friends are doing this.
In max six months time you will be eligible for I-485

I guess, what Mr/Ms Desertfox has mentioned makes clear sense. It is better to have the I-94 with the valid parole stamp, when applying for FAFSA. One can go outside/re-enter and obtain the parolee or Paroled in to US stamp. Please consult with your attorney also, since the full details of your case is known to the attorney. Thanks.

IV on Bay Area TV - FOX-2 (KTVU)
Pratik Dakwala of Immigration Voice was interviewed by KTVU, a local Fox affiliate of San Francisco Bay area. The name of the interviewer was Priya David.
The program will be telecast between 5PM and 6PM Pacific standard time and the interview is about 5-6 minutes long.
Dont live in Bay area:
If you dont live in San Francisco/San Jose area, you can see the link that they would upload on website : http://www.ktvu.com/index.html. We will post the link here once available.
If you live in San Francisco/Bay area:
This will be probably available only in Bay Area and nearby areas where they can have KTVU Fox-2. The good thing is, since this is a local channel, I dont think you need cable to see this. However, if you do have cable I am sure you can see it, but then I am not sure whether it will be channel 2 or some other channel.
This is one more media coverage event in the series of events that has helped immigration voice highlight the problems of legal employment-based immigrants. Other media stories that covered Immigration Voice can be found here(also a menu item on home page): IV in the News (http://www.immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_weblinks&catid=19&Itemid=27)

Thanks to everyone who responded. So in summary, it looks like:
* I can own a business on H1B.
* I cannot take any proceeds/profits from the business, but can use it to grow it further.
* I can work for the business as long as I don't take any money from it.
- Can a guru please confirm this?
* The business can buy me equipment and accessories to work.
As everyone suggested, I will consult a CPA and immigration lawyer to confirm but wanted to get some initial idea.
It is very simple, when you are on H1...
You can work hard, even hard, kill yourself on anything without being paid.
Here is the meaning for "Slave" in a well known dictionary..
Slave
1 : a person held in servitude as the chattel of another
2 : one that is completely subservient to a dominating influence
3 : a device (as the printer of a computer) that is directly responsive to another
4 : DRUDGE, TOILER
5 : H1B

I have got Jury summons many times. I just told them I am not eligible. Please note that you need to respond to the summon in time otherwise the court might inititiate action against you. The notice I got listed a few possible reasons why you cannot perform jury duty and not being a citizen was one of them. I selected it and enclosed a copy of my passport to indicate that I am not a US citizen.

i remember IV team was earlier posting messages asking members to send questions because they have enough room to accomdate those in the same week. so i think the number of question is less now. this might be one of the reason we have conference call with lawyer once in two weeks.
if they get more questions in future, they can have atleast one conference call per week or they can extend it 2-3hrs too. once we get more publicity and if our members count (and questions) are doubled or tripled, we can we have more sessions with same or different lawyer. what do you think?
How many lawyers are there to answer the questions? Can we have couple of more lawyers on our panel so that we can do this more often?

Surabhi, thanks for your reply. Thats another option, I should look at.
I took infopass to clarify my situation with 2 I-485, different A#, and one I-140.
The IO verified and told me that both Apps have been merged and keying in either A# has brought back both Appslications. There was a LUD few weeks before I took infopass. I think it may have been because of merge.

Hi,
I am in need of some advice. I am on first h1b extension with 2.5 hears left. I have an MS but was filed under eb3 with priority date of march 2005 (didn't knew about priority categories at that time). Now I am feeling a bit stagnant in my current job, but have always felt myself constrained thinking about restarting the GC process from zero. Given the current eb3 condition and my priority date what would you suggest I should do? Switch job, get a salary raise, restart under eb2 or continue doing whatever I do hoping eb3 will become current in some reasonable time and i'll be free ?
Thanks for any inputs/thoughts.
eb3retro, As you may have noticed, this was my first post ever. So I am not aware of what rules you guys have been trying to enforce on this forum. However I like to have my privacy and refuse to share any info that is not pertinent or until I feel comfortable enough. so long .....
IV does not collect any identifiable information. The information is being requested is all about petitions that you had filed, which no way affects your privacy in my personal opinion. These information will help IV to slice and dice the data and present it to lawmakers when the need arises.
It is up to you to contribute to these efforts with clean data. I would suggest you to get a paid consultation from an immigration attorney until you become comfortable with IV, people and its forum

I have been a silent follower of IV for more than a year but this is my first post so be kind :)
I am a full time employee. My 140 was approved in Jan 2008 and I am one of those who missed the July'07 fiasco (as you can see from my PD :().
I am being given an opportunity to join another team in my company. I do not want to impact the GC process but do not want to let go of this opportunity.
The other team is ready to replicate my roles and responsibilities as per my PERM and give me a similar title. My company lawyer believes that this would be the best approach and would not hamper my existing PERM and I140 and I would not have to restart my GC process.
I am reaching out to the collective knowledge base of the IV community for their insights/inputs/comments and red flags to watch out for.
Thanks in advance :)

Well its just wasting GC numbers as this person is leaving US anyways, why GC???
I have seen many people leave US after once they get their GC, how stupid is that?
That is the BEAUTY of Green Card.
1. Most of them do not want to stay here, because they don't like something here....
2. They want to stay back there...
3. They don't like things back there...
4. They need an option to come to US anytime in future... (They worked half of their life to aquire this option)
So from 1 and 3, it is obvious that they don't like to stay in East End or in West End. They can not go to North End (freezing to death) or South End (No place attracting).
It all says that "They don't like the WORLD".
So, a slight change in your title "Just a LIFE gone waste".
God must be crazy and not doing QA after producing these humans.

Hi Khris,
Do you also have 2 PDs in same EB2 category?
I have submitted ombudsman case sheet by mail.
My lawyer also sent request through AILA liason. She asked me to wait 6 weeks before enquiring again.

There we go again. Now we need to create another ombudsman to make sure current ombudsman office works straight...:p
Call the BLACKHOLE aka cis office, get info about your case, and note the person's badge you spoke, time and day of your call, put it in a letter along with file 7001 and send to ombudsman's office (also mention in the letter that you filed 7001 couple of times earlier). You need to get hold of someone in ombudsman's office and be in constant touch through email or something...You should have been on the conference call past week...Next time you can participate and ask directly...
Thanks for your suggestion. I'll participate next time.
