I dont think that the USCIS can staff all the Port of Entries with officers who are well versed in every single visa type.
It can hardly be expected that a typical POE officer is aware of all the requirements and intricasies of the H1B visa; LCA, prevaling wage, bench, client/employer, paystubs, client letter etc.
Nevertheless it is possible that there might be some POE officers placed at certain places (strategically ? ) in light of recent efforts to enforce H1B and DOL regulations more stringently; especially in light of the recent report highlighting the large amount of frauds and violations in the H1B program. In that case; one should still be fine if one has long term client project, all paystubs, tax returns etc.
Is there any way Immigration voice can find out if there has been a change of policy to enforce H1B regulations at the Port of Entry? (In addition to consular interviews and applying for the H1B itself)

I believe that it's the date of last physical entry into the U.S.
I'm in a similar situation and my lawyer filled that.
Dear fellow IV members,
I was just referring to my first application for EAD filed by my lawyer (july filer)
For Q#12 - Date of last entry into the US - my lawyer had entered (05/10/2007) - the H1-B approval date in date of last entry in to US - is this because of the new I-94 attached to H1-B approval notice?
But the I-94 in the passport shows my actual physical entry into US after my last visit outside the country - 08/10/2006.
I have not traveled outside the country after renewing my H1-B.
Which date did you guys put - the actual date of physical entry or the I-94 start date after renewal of H1-B?
Thank you!!!

All,
Any successful H1 transfers these days, pls post your experience. All that required for a transfer was latest 3 payslips and I797. Is it still the same or have things changed these days ? Can someone pls share your experience.

Just for the information & thought would share the experience:
My wife & Daughter visited CAnada: my wife with a valid H4 stamp till Jun 2011 & my daughter with AP since she had no stamp of H4 in her passport (She had a renewed H4 I 539 but did not restamp)
While going we went to the check in counter & asked the lady at check in counter to remove the I-94's
While coming at Toronto airport my wife got the new I-94 stamped till June 2011 at the immigration counter & then she went to secondary inspection room with my daughter for her AP & I-94 stamp. Other thatn an hr of wait everything was normal. The lady at secondary inspection asked my wife if the daughter has unexpired H4 & my wife said no but she has the renewal notice till June 2011 & offered her if she (the officer) would liked to see it but she said no.
Then they had to wait for an hr as there is no token system once you submit yr papers at secondary inspection & they call you in random order near the window again. When both of them were called instead of the initial lady officer there was a guy who actually was very nice & in fact taleked to my daughter about how she liked to live in US & about the recent weather & big snow storm etc.etc & they were through to the gate for boarding!
One interesting thing though is my wife flew united & she printed the boarding passes on line with every information regarding the documents pre entered but the lady on first immigration counter said those were not the correct boarding passes & she had to go again to the check in counter & get the boarding passes again from the check in counter.
So I wonder if it is useful to web check in when you are travelling to Canada & coming back thru US immigration
Rest was all well without any issues.
Thought would help all those who wanted to know.

I guess your H4 is not approved yet and continuing your employment on H1B. Your best course of action would be to have your employer file an extension (beyond 6 years) for H1B and get a 3-year approval (with approved I-140). You can change jobs after this but if you don't want to take this path you can still find a new employer before end of march and apply for H1B to get a 3-Year H1B. You will need to restart your PERM and go through the whole process with your new employer ASAP.
So I am not able to apply for a new H1B while on H4? Thanks!

We are in regular contact with Senator Conrad's office and iv-physicians has a seat on the physicians task force that has been working on this. As you well know the environment is toxic towards any immigration relief but efforts are ongoing nevertheless.
Please join the physicians chapter for further information. See the link in my signature. As a reminder- this is a closed group that works with sensitive information, make sure you provide your name and telephone number, e mail for contact and general info about immigration status, practice etc.

So a question that's worth pondering. If I am on 485/EAD without H1b, does this mean I have the right to work but not the right to stay in the US?
The EAD card only gives us the right to work (as said on the card, cannot be used for entry), and my 485 has been pending for more that 240 days.
Is there any explicit stipulation for the 485 that allows me to be in the US as long as it is not denied?

I have a question regarding Multiple I-140s.
I applied for I-140 (PD: 2006) and it got approved in 11/2006;
I applied for LC-sub (PD:2004) and it is pending with USCIS
I applied for 485 in July 2007, My question is which PD will USCIS consider? Does it take the one with approve I140 or the pending one ? form 485 does not show the PD anywhere.

I had to look up the meaning of WPF :)
No - I'm using VS 2005 .NET. It is a standard Windows Application Form in C#.
The combo box selected index value change causes 2 panes to change. The one pane allows the user to Update information of the Item in the selected index. The other pane displays all database elements FKeying to that item.
So sometimes the user may update the portion of the information that is set as DisplayValue in the combobox. The object itself is updated, but the combobox text remains as the old value.
I'm essentially looking for a best practice in doing this. Whenever updating a member of the combobox should I rebind the datasource? I tried using the Refresh() and Update() methods but they do not update the display value.

I think I am missing something here. Can't you use the level3 wage listed on your link?
Flcdatacenter mentions that one reason for NA jobzone is that you mentioned a very broad occupation.
Would you be able to use:
http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesQuickResults.aspx?area=45300&code=15-1031&year=9&source=1
or
http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesQuickResults.aspx?area=45300&code=15-1021&year=9&source=1
so what do we do now..How can we get the accurate wage
http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesQuickResults.aspx?code=15-1034&area=45300&year=9&source=2
if we go there the jobzone is NA and hence the salary cannot be accurately determined hence by rule just out level 1 wage

I never entered the US in the first place.
I believe you can enter as long as the visa does not expire. But make sure to check with your company lawyer.
Also make sure you have a real job/work when you enter.

I went for H1B stamping, but i know a friend of mine went for F1 (PhD) extension and had to go through the same process. I called Dept. of State multiple times, dont expect a polite response. They may even say it may take years. Thats what they told me the day before i got the visa. Dont worry your wife will get the visa eventually. Tell her to enjoy India in the mean time like i did on my forced vacation.
