You can try but they recommend going to your own country for stamping if there is a change in status (H1 to F1 or vice versa). If you to Mexico, please have a plan B.

yes, I was talking about H1b stamping! Thanks for your reply. That means I need to e-mail them to get an interview slot for my H1b stamping. I don't see any available slots from VFS website for December.
Thanks once again!

Hello,
The dept. of labor uses two types of codes, one of which is the SOC code. Yours may be a SOC code (Standard Occupational Classification) or the other one (name I can't remember). If you look at Murthy.com and search for articles on AC21, you'll find information on the two types of codes the DOL uses. The go to the DOL website and do a search for the two types of occupational codes and see which classification system your code matches. Once you access the classification, just look for your number and it should give you a brief description. I did this for my code.

Hi! I hope this is the right place to post this. If not, can you please tell me where it should be posted?
We are caught in a terrible comedy of errors, but unfortunately it is not funny all.
My husband is from Turkey, and was/is here on an F-1 visa. To make a long story short, we filed our I-485 & I-130 applications shortly after we were married. Months after this, deportation proceedings were (wrongfully) initiated against my husband.
While we were waiting for our court date to have the deportation proceedings terminated, USCIS at the NBC denied my husband's I-485 for the sole reason that there were deportation proceedings against him.
The deportation proceedings were terminated with a note on the paperwork from the judge that the charges were wrongfully initiated. The judge asked the Federal attorney to ask CIS to help us in NY, but NY office advised they can't do anything since this decision was made in Missouri.
At this point, my husband has not been able to work (work document denied also, of course), the government has cost us $1,000s of $$ in attorneys, and we do not have money to pay them their almost $1,000 to start the I-485 process over again. We need our original case reopened and approved.
Oh, and before deportation proceedings were terminated, but after the I-485 was denied, we passed a Stokes Interview which was requested through my I-130 due to the deportation proceedings. My I-130 has been approved.
We have filed an I-230-B for appeal, but without the fee. So we have no receipt letter nor case #. We have been told by our lawyer that we need to get the help our our U.S. Representative, Anthony Wiener. However, a friend of mine, who helps immigrants in another state, told me we need to work through our senator, Chuck Schumer's office.
Is there any advice on working through a representative's or a senator's office to re-open/ investigate a case.... which is more effective, faster, etc?
Is there anything else we can do on our own or have our attorney do?
Right now, I'm fed up with our lawyer, and do not feel we are getting enough information from him, or perhaps he is not qualified to answer my questions; so I am seeking other advice.
Any advice is welcome.
Thank you!!
Smile and have a wonderful day!

Since it is a not for profit i will fall under the quota.
She can transfer to other not for profits. Transferring to other for profit companies is challenging as it has to be under the quota.
Thanks

Those people who are all stuck in Labor certification.
1. What are the options going forward if our labors are not certified?.
2. What are the chances that BEC people are not able to meet their deadline (sep 30) in clearing LC?
3. Is there a justice and truth in life? Or everything depends only on time and luck?.
4. What if some of us get laid off.........our path ends?.
5. Is there something GOOD waiting for all of us?.
Waiting .......waiting...........waiting................wa iting sucks!.

Gurus,
I saw three LUDs on 485 applications after FP. Last as latest as August 23rd. No recent LUD on EAD or AP yet.
What should I expect?
Patience my dear friend. I haven't seen any second LUD on I-485 since FP date.

What happens when the laws of America clash with the laws of physics? In the Never-Never Land of Immigration, the natural laws of physics must defer to human-made law. This is the absurd answer of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Status (USCIS), the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (CA5) in its Sept. 29 decision, Bokhari v. Holder. The case involves the interpretation of a USCIS regulation, 8 C.F.R. � 274a.12(b)(20), which came into being because of the problems caused by bureaucratic delay. The regulation allows the automatic grant of work permission for up...

Thanks @hibworker
Have you tried this option before.
You can use existing visa + new approval notice. Make sure that on arrival the I-94 is stamped until expiration on new approval notice and not the visa expiration date.

DS 157 is required based on age of the applicant ... your dad may not need but your mom need it ... pls check the vfs site for age range for DS 157 ...
hope this helps
HI,
I recently booked an appointment for visiting visa for my parents through vfs, during the process , I first entered my Dad's details and then his ds 156, then It asked if I wanted to add additional family members, then I entered my Mom's details and her ds 156 . After that it asked for my Mom's ds 157 and never showed my Dad's ds 157.
So the final list of documents it generated was :
Dad's ds 156, Mom's ds 156,157 , interview letter.
Is this correct, does my dad need ds 157 and interview letter or is 1 ds 157 and interview letter enough ?
Thank you for your time.

Hi ,
My wife is in this situation where she would like to travel to Canada to see her sister.
We applied for 485 and have got out EAD( did not apply for AP, thinking of appying now.)
She has a H1B stamping from her old employer's H1, valid till 2009. She moved to a new company and the H1 there is pending.
Can she travel to Canada and comeback showing her old stamping ?
Are we abandoning the current H1 if we go out while its pending ?
She just wants to see her sister and they wont let them visit either. :(
Thanks a bunch for your time.

Hi,
I 've applied for my H1 extension in August 2009 (Just two weeks before my previous I-94 was expiring), after a month I have been facilitated with RFE for client letter. As usually my client denied providing me a letter and told me to contact primary vendor for any of this kind. Finally got a letter from primary vendor with roles and responsibilities of mine with very extended duration. RFE was answered with the primary vendor letter, and after couple weeks extension was denied.
Now my previous H1 got expired two months back, initially my employer told me that he will open MTR but attorney suggested that chances of MTR success is less and asked to file new application for extension. Another application (premium) was filed within 2 weeks of first application denial and after couple weeks my extension was approved.
1. will the period between initial H1 expirey date and approval of 2nd application for extension considered as "out of status" ?
2. Had to visit india and need to go for stamping, how is mexico in my case?
3. I heard that due to not having an entry in PIM, applications are kept pending for 4 to 6 days in india with 221g. How about mexico, will it be same?
Thanks in Advance.

if i use EAD for a part time job, does the H1B visa status become invalid?
yes. look up the archives, this has come up quite a few times. Some people say going from EAD to H1 is a one-way street and coming back requires new H1 subject to cap. Many others (including my attorney) say that you can come back on new H1 (or even existing H1 petition if its not expired) without being subject to quota/cap. Reactivating the H1 does require a trip out and back into the US.
