This morning I received a phone call from NAVRS (appointment system) about my H1B appointment.
The phone call was to give me a heads up that my visa might require an additional 2 weeks processing time (has any one received similar calls)?
My I485 is currently pending with a priority date of Jan-2007 (EB2) and this is my 3-year extension, last extension was stamped at US consulate of Toronto (2nd extension).
Can anyone share his or her experience in a similar situation?
Thanks
Amit

Hi,
I am (L1 B) in US since April 2008 with my wife (L2). Our I-94 and VISA expired on Oct 08. Before expiration my company applied for the extension of L1 (I-129). The status changed to "Request for RFE" on Feb 09. Got the RFE with 11 questions yesterday. The questions asked were more about my specialty, my company and the clients contract, other fellow aliens from my company working for the client's status and profiles. So now not sure what my company will do with the RFE.
My questions are -
1. If my company withdraws the L1 Extension petition, then how many more days I will be able to stay in US legally.
2. My wife is currently 22+ weeks pregnant, will US Govt consider anything for her medical situation?
3. Whats the possibility that VSC will accept the extension if we send the answers to the RFE?
4. If the petition is denied, then how many more days I will be able to stay legally?
I would appreciate if anybody can answer my questions.
Thanks in advance.
Saurav
Please share the RFE.

Hi,
1) If I take the H1b extenstion for three years (based on my pending I-485) and let say after one year, I start using my EAD with a new employer and my previous employer revokes my H1B....Will I be able to get back on H1B if my I-485 petition get denied for any reason. All I am trying to see if anything happens to my I-485 petition, will I be able to go back on H1B from EAD.
If your 485 is denied, you will not be eligible for any more H-1B time until you have spent one full year outside the US. You have already used your full 6 years and are only entitled to extensions now because you have an approved I-140 and a backlogged priority date. If these conditions apply even after a 485 denial, you could regain H-1B status, however it depends on the grounds of the 485 denial.
2) I have been reading in the forums that USCIS is giving hard time for the H1B extensions. Any experiences on this?
I haven't had a problem with H-1B extensions
3) How much is the H1B renewal fees?
It depends on whether it is an extension with the same employer or if it is a new employer. The fees are:
$320 I-129 fee
$500 Anti-Fraud fee for first H-1B for this employer and employee, or first extension
$1500 Training fee for first H-1B for this employer and employee, or $750 if under 25 employees

Guys, is there any way to expedite her EAD to be approved soon? The available solutions you have include:
1. File for your wife's H1 extension
2. After 60 days of filing your EAD, take an Infopass appointment and request an expedite process of your wife's H1 stating financial hardships, job loss etc.
can she continue work in h1 even if her h1 has expired until 90 days? No

Hi,
I had applied for my H1 extension in June 2008 and waited for some time and then upgraded it to premium processing in July. I did not get any result on my H1 extension but in the meantime my GC was approved in August. My question is will i be able to get my H1 processing fee back, at least the premium processing fee. I heard if your H1 processing doesn't get any result in certain time you will be entitled to get your money back.
Thanks in advance

Friends,
There used to be a number of threads created / discussed every day on IV... those good ol' days... a lot of good discussions on a variety of topics, including immigration:D
But of late I am seeing fewer threads on IV and wondering what could be the reason.
1. Either a lot of folks got greened and stopped visiting IV
2. or a lot of folks lost jobs & abandoned their GC process
3. or a lot of folks got frustrated and left for their home countries
Is this just me feeling this way or...?

Thanks guys. Nik, my boss took the decision out of my hands and had me order the 2 lense option. I'm hoping it's compact enough that I can hike with it. If so, he said he'd take my Canon Pro1 for the shop and I could have this. If I take it, then I'll look into your suggestion.
well queen my long lost thought you were gone forever to never come back friend.Thanks Mark....not gone, just slowing down a bit. Happens sometimes... but thank for the kind thoughts. I aprreciate it.
