H4 visa stamping expired and have valid ead till 2026
JoeF replied to poornima12's topic in Student Visas
The visa stamp is irrelevant while in the US. In the US, the date on the I-94 matters. -
H4 I94 Date issued with New H1B I797 while Entering USA
JoeF replied to GANM's topic in H1B : I-94 Cards
No. In the US, the visa date is irrelevant. The date on the I-94 is what counts. -
Change of Status from H1b to H4 while in US

Form I-539. -
The AP is invalid now. You need the GC.

Consult an immigration lawyer.

Hmm, your post is not very clear. EB2 is a path to a Green card, once you have the GC how you got there is pretty much irrelevant. It is not clear if you actually have a GC, then EB2 or EB3 are irrelevant, or if you are still in the process of getting a GC. If you have a GC the company can not do anything to it.

Form I-485 - without filing for spouse
JoeF replied to newuser21's topic in Family & Employment-Based Green Card : General
Once you have the GC your spouse's H4 becomes invalid. -
i485 for mother
JoeF replied to sarah george's topic in Family & Employment-Based Green Card : General
An I-130 and I-485 can be filed. Note that once the GC is approved she has to live in the US. -
An I-140 doesn't transfer to a new employer. The new employer would have to start the process over from scratch. The only thing that you can keep is the priority date from the old I-140.

Did you get paid? The IRS has a form on their website to report if you didn't get a W2. They will then contact the employer.
-
A company cannot request payment for the H1. That's in the law.

I sold liquor to under age age and cop gave me a yellow ticket

Nobody is going to believe this "just for replacement". No store owner hands over the cash register to some arbitrary person. You worked without authorization, most likely regularly. That of course comes back to bite you. Seek the help of an immigration lawyer. -
Bring family to USA. They already have green card
JoeF replied to patas's topic in Application Process
If they stayed abroad for more than a year their GCs are invalid and can not be used. You would have to file for new GCs for them, form I-130 with Consular Processing. -
No issue. Your spouse's H4 doesn't depend on an employer, it depends on your H1.

You would have to live with the child abroad for a year before the child could get a dependent visa. See https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/Intercountry-Adoption/Adoption-Process/before-you-adopt/adoption-by-non-us-citizens-living-in-us.html

You absolutely have to be outside the country for a year before a new H1 in the lottery can be filed. And day 1 cpt is a bad idea to begin with. It will cause problems with getting an H1 later on.

Can there be an RFE? H1 Transfer after joining new company for 1 month.
JoeF replied to ChittiBabu24's topic in H1B : General
You always need to get paid at least the salary listed on the LCA. And there is no "bench". That term is only used by shady consulting companies who don't pay the required salary. -
For these things you should schedule a 1-on-1 appointment with an immigration lawyer. There is a "Contact Us" button at the top. Nobody can give specific advice on a forum, forums are only for general discussions.

That's working illegally. On F1 a person can not work in some liqueur store. Your friend needs to discuss this issue with a good immigration lawyer.
