No need of re-stamping

Nopes... as long as you were getting paid you should be good

So you are in status for another 2 weeks..... you can apply for change of status to b1/2 talk to an attorney... your cos application should reach uscis before last day at wrk

There is nothing like h1 transfer... it is always a new petition, and since you were counted towards qouta in past new petition will be cap exempt....

Is there anything like all last year's applications should be approved/denied before April 1, 2012 which start of next year's quota?: NO

Yes, by all means photocopies of all documents should be fine. They will verify petition information thru PIMS

Mostly everyone goes with Original I-797 and copies of I-129 because original I-129 is submitted to USCIS. As i said explain the employer that you need the notice for stamping and you will return it once u are back..... VFS just needs a copy of I-797 because they will verify your approved petition thru PIMS so all they need is a number from the photocopy.... Expalin to your employer and talk to attorneys

Indian Tech Giants are Consulting As Welll they are not direct Full time hire.....they are consulting as well Any kind of consulting model is not safe unless it is 4 big consulting like ********, ****, *** etc...

I-797 C is the Receipt and NOT approval notice Your Attorney should have received I-797 A and there will I-94 attached on the lower section, if you received I-797 B, then there will be NO I-94 and you will have to leave the country get stamping done and re-enter.... When was your petition approved?

Talk to CPA... they can guide you better

As long as your petition was filed in timely manner i.e. before the expiration of the current one. You should be good

What is the last day at work? Usually, you are out of status starting last day of your work... There is no grace period on H1.

For the period when my extension approval is pending, is there any restriction on travelling to any state within USA and to Alaska, Hawaii? NO Bahamas is NOT in the USA

You are full time so NO CLient Your direct employer keep a list or brochures of your product.... you should say i work for ABC company and our company makes these software products.... I work wiht the company to make products i dont work with client....Clients might buy products.... I work with company ppl to develop products... Keep borchures, Since you are full time you wont even need any additional docs or anything

You can go for H4 stamping anytime... you dont have to resign and alll Once u re-enter us on h4, you CANNOT work with new employer He has to file a new petition with Change of Status, get approval with new I-94 and then only you can start working for the employer.....

1. You dont need I-129 Original, you will always get a copy of it.... Tell you employer you need it for stamping and will return to them once u are back to US.... Show them consulate email or link that says you need I-797 for stamping.... 2. Ask your attorney to contact uscis for date change.

There is nothing like high percentage of h1 approvals and all if you are full time direct employer... no issues EVC EC models are getting 221 g and getting stuck

They will surely want client letter..... You can try asking project manager to write down on a plain peice of paper even that will work as long as s/he signs it with date and duration and allll... Without client letter it will be vry hard to get approval

What are the chances of Visa reaffirmation? Depends on the facts of your case And how long will it take? it might take MONTHS to get reaffirmation What are the chances of applying for H1 transfer through the vendor for the same client while this case is in pending status? A new employer (vendor) can file h1b petition on your behalf... No one can predict the chances of approval however if it gets approved, you still need to get stamping done.

There is nothing to worry... if your attorney does not receive the notice in 2 weeks ask them to call uscis

Attorney will have to attach a new LCA with new details and as long as there is E-E relationship, you shoudn't have problem

Will it be any problem for me with the uscis? NO

As long as your husband maintains his h1 status and you are not in violation of your h4 you can stay.

There is NO grace period on h1 You are out of status on the last day of your work. 60 days grace period is for f1 students and NOT H1. Contact an attorney asap.

As long as the docs are valid and relevant yes
