I just got off the phone with a second level rep at USCIS and am getting really confused with their mixed messaged. before i push any panic buttons can some one please let me know if they had any conversations with the idiotic bunch at uscis and share your conversations with regards to the visa availability for next month. this idiot states that vsc just oversubscribed and that it could be that there wont be any movement on the cases. all this over enthusiasm for nothing - that would really infuriate me. there is a limit to the fuss they can cause and play with emotions.

because i was getting conflicting opinions, i consulted an immigration attorney from a big law firm. here is what he says:
You can start working as soon the new company receives the h1b receipt notice.AC21 portability can be applied to H4 to H1 as well.
Link to AC21 guide:
http : // USCIS Home Page (http://www.uscis.gov) / files / pressrelease / ac21guide.pdf
"D. AC21 105 -- Visa portability
The AC21 105 provides that a nonimmigrant who was previously issued an H-lB visa or provided H-1B nonimmigrant status may begin working for a new H-lB employer as soon as that new employer files a "nonfrivolous" H-lB petition on the nonimmigrant's behalf, if:
(a) the nonimmigrant was lawfully admitted to the United States; (b) the nonfrivolous petition for new employment was filed before the end of their period of authorized stay; and (c) the nonimmigrant has not been employed without authorization since his lawful admission to the United States, and before the filing of the nonfrivolous petition."
Based on above information. I would assume that its safe to start after getting the h1b receipt notice. This is for other people in similar situation so that they get the right info.

Hi,
My I-485 AOS thru my Husband's I-140 is pending right now.
Recently My sister's Approved I-130's priority date is Current, So now I Can file for AOS thru my Sister's I-130 also.
My question is :
Which is better Interfile or new filling ?
What are the advantages and dis-advantages of both ?
If I go for Interfiling and If My Application is not approved thur one track (I-130 / I-140) will my application be pending for another track ?
Thanks
Immqry

My H1-B is expiring in December 2007. I have approved I-140 now and am hoping to get 3 year H1-B extension based on my approved I-140. Do you think I can get 3 year extension even if the visa numbers for filing AOS is current? Does AC21 apply to this case? Please suggest.
yes you can extend h1b with out any problems

What you mean by "Becareful..lot of screening is going on in PERM"?
You mean in ALL PERM or in EB2 PERM.
My lawyer is very scared to file my new case under EB2 PERM. His opinion is we may get an audit.
I have already EB3 PERM/I-140 approved. And now looking to file EB2 PERM with Bachelors+ 5 year Exp. (due to degree evaluation issues I am not able to file under Masters + 6 month exp).
Ok, I also have one Tradional LC (from Texas) and one RIR case (from MN) pending in BEC.
So the new case will be my 4th case.

I am in the same boat.
Approved I-140 in EB3 category. Current employer wants to file in EB2 category, they gave me a new job that qualifies for the category but my Attorney says that I have to withdraw my current EB3 application..
I have read so many post here and every where that tells me that it is possible to continue the process but my lawyer says that I need to withdraw EB3 case.... Any one knows good lawyer around DC Metro area with good experience for Eb3 to Eb2 transfer with the same employer

help me with this guys: My employer applied for an H-1B under the Master's cap, but I've been RFE'd. I think this is cause the job is classified as only requiring a Bachelor's degree. If that is the case, would it be possible to withdraw my application and reapply under the regular cap? Is this a good idea? And am I right that there are tougher requirements for being accepted in the Master's cap than the regular cap?
I'm meeting with my boss tomorrow to discuss this so please reply quick!!!
Yes, the job does not have to require an M.S. degree:

My wife went to Chennai consulate for H4 visa when she is on OPT. Its been close to 5 weeks. They asked her to respond to some questionnaires (pink slip) and keep checking the case report status which is a pdf document being updated every Tue and Fri on http://chennai.usconsulate.gov/adminprocess.html . Since she is a PhD they need to do some background check on what kind of research and all that. The report still says "Pending processing". Th irony is, it says in the instructions that, if we contact them to find out the case status, it will take longer for them to make a decision.
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Dear Friends,
I have changed my employer after 180 days of my pending I-485. I have not communicated USCIS about this. I was able to renew my EAD, and AP online with proper documentation without any issues.
I am planning to travel to India on Advance Parole now. Wondering if I can show my former employer's documentation such as I-485, I-140 approvals if anything arises while going or returning. Do you anticipate any issues with this? or do I need to carry any information about current employer, and my Job?. Appreciate your help.
--Raj.

You think the quota this coming year will be exhausted on 1st April itself? Or do you guess that its going take longer, if not as long as this past year?
my guess would be its going to last a few months again. Not as long as 2009 (ie. not till Christmas) but definately not on the 1st of April.
The H1 usage is a good reflection of the economy and the rate of hiring. Both have been bad, are expected to still be bad till April and only slowly start to pick up. So demand will be more than this year because:
- economy is expected to better, hiring is now slowly starting.
- many companies who were prevented from hiring H1s under TARP limitations are now out of TARP (this applies to the finance sector on the east coast, not so much to the west coast IT companies).
the only thing that could push down demand if there is some kind of immigration change like the ones that Sen. Grassley etc have been pushing for, trying to make H1s more restrictive.
