Hi Everyone I'm currently in the USA but need to visit Sydney for a family visit. My last two stampings were in India. Can I get stamped in Sydney, Australia? Quick response would be highly appreciated. Thanks

So how should I answer 25, 26, 27 if I have a speeding ticket?

I have moved to the US and worked for 15 days, received my first paystub, and then submitted my resignation via email after discussing with my H1B employer to move to a new employer. However, I haven't received my relieving letter, and my employer is not responding. Is there anything I can do legally to obtain the relieving letter from my employer? I have evidence of paystubs and offer letters.

My wife went for dropbox appointment and submitted all the relevant documents and passport. After receiving the passport we noticed date of birth was worng on h4 visa. How can we get it corrected and please let us know the procedure to follow in this situation ?

Better to get new passport in us then go for stamping with new one

Hi. I'm writing to know if I can work as a volunteer for an NGO in India, while I am on H4 visa in USA. I am not getting paid for any such volunteering and its purely based on my interests.

I have been reading in the forums that since the status H1b is the same, you should be able to use your previous H1b visa, sponsored by Company X) and at port of entry, immigrations (POE), show the H1b approval of this other company. Hope you have one year + validity in your current passport, to accommodate the I-94. Good Luck.

If going to India, definitely get your passport renewed before coming back to US so that you will get an I-94 with the same expiry date as your H1b expiry date at POE (point of entry), immigrations. Good Luck.

Thanks for your reply. In this case, Is I94 enough for applying H4 EAD or Do need the H4 approved petition and Stamped visa?

Got I-140 approved in H1B/EB2 category, had to relocate and now back in US in L1A. What are next steps for GC? I worked in US for 6years in H1B Visa, and got my PERM/I-140 done/approved. Relocated during Covid to home country, and now back in USA in L1A. My PD is Nov-2013. Question is I want to switch to new job/company. Is there any possibility while in L1A considering I have I-140 approved?

Hello I am on L1A, wife is employed on L2S. L1A visa to be renewed June 2025. L1 A i140 approved and date is not current right now. Further now my company applied for H1B and its has been picked in lottery , company now asking for documents to file for H1B. Question is what if H1B visa is approved , will it make L1A Visa invalid , will it hinder my GC process via EB1 route ? will I then get into the EB2 route and therefore will have to wait even longer for the GC process ? Please can you throw some light here

I worked in US on H1B for almost 5 years earlier.I have 20 plus years of IT experience. I am currently living in India and I recently got Selected in lottery for H1B. I also have a copy of Form I-797C. My query is I have a taken a break and currently not working. Will this be an issue while filing for my H1B? I would appreciate if anyone can answer my query with clarity. Thanks in Advance

No. In the US, the visa date is irrelevant. The date on the I-94 is what counts.

Form I-539.

I am currently on H1B visa and my I-140 is in process but I haven't gotten the final approval. Now, I am on bench without a project since last 6 months. My employer has been running my payroll so that is not an issue but now my employer wants me to transfer to B1/B2 visa for next few months and transfer back to H1B visa once I get a project. My question is that will transferring to B1/B2 visa or even moving to India temporarily till I get a project stop my I-140 processing or does that continue irrespective of my current visa status?

How did USCIS share the I797C copy? If you have the email or cover letter for it, you can attach that too along with the I 797C copy, as well as original receipt notice if you have it. Good Luck.

Check your employer's offer letter for non-compete clause. Good Luck.

It is advisable to change employers after 180 days of receiving I-140. Good Luck.

I worked from 2021 to 2023 in a managerial position in India with a multi-national company. Before, I was in the USA from 2007 to 2019 and held I-140 on EB2. I came back in Apr 2023 to the US with a consulting firm and working as a senior developer. Is there any possibility of porting my EB2 to EB1? Please advise.

Hi, I am currently on H1b and it is valid till Sep 2024, and my husband is also on H1b. I am planning to switch to H4. Can i switch from H1b to H4 without going to the home country? What are my options? Really appreciate your reply. Thanks.

I am working for a company on H1b with approved I140 (approval from previous company). My spouse is also on H1b.Unfortunately his project got over 1.5 months before and in the current market it is very tough to get a new job. His grace period ends by this month. In this case we decided to get him moved to H4 and apply for H4 EAD based on my previous company's I140 approval. I am also searching for a job as my current company is not doing so well, but nothing is guaranteed as of now. In case I transfer my H1b to a new company with a new job, I am worried what will happen to my husband's H4 and H4 EAD petitions? Will they get rejected or should I file H4 and H4EAD again while doing my H1b transfer? Or should we not initiate the EAD again? I am confused. Anyone faced a situation like this before? How did you handle it? Please advise.

Also, well known as the US EB-5 Visa or EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is administered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). USCIS facilitates foreign investors who are interested in securing lawful permanent residency in the US along with their spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21 years. The US EB-Visa Investors are also popularly known as Green Card Holders. For more information

I have entered USA March 2024 along with my family. My wife has visa stamped on her passport and her H4 validity till July 2024. At POE they updated my wife I94 till October 2025 as per my new I797 validity and when I checked her I94 online it shows till October 2025. Do I need to apply H4 extension for her?

I recently switched to a new employer on H1b visa. I already crossed 6 years of H1B.I have my previous employer I-140 but my current employer is yet to start my green card process. My visa stamping based on my previous employment has expired. If I go for H1b visa stamping, is there any risk of rejection as I don't have I-140 from my current employer? Appreciate your quick response as I have my h1b visa stamping appointment coming soon.
