Yes, you can return to the US with the same visa, as long as you are employed with the H-1B petitioner. It is better if you have some documentation about projects etc. There is no need to furnish pay stubs for the time you spent outside of US.

I e-Filed the AP for my wife and myself over a month ago. We received the receipt notice for my application but did not receive it for my wife's application. The e-filing generated the receipt number starting with LINxxxxxxxx for both the applications that shows as valid application at the USCIS's online status tracker. Should I contact the USCIS's customer service and inquire about the receipt notice for my wife's application of just ignore it coz' its not a big deal as we already have the receipt numbers?
Thanks in advance gurus for suggestions!!

Hi,
I have worked in the US for 3 months (april, may and june) on H1b visa and still haven't got my pay stubs. Recently I came to India for my marriage and after marriage, I want to go to US on L2 visa (my fiance is on L1 visa). While trying to go to US on L2 visa, will I be asked to produce my previous pay stubs? Also when I asked my employer to give my pay stubs he said he had lost them and said instead of pay stubs I can have W2 which will be the proof that I have worked. Will the W2 be enough or I need the pay stubs? Please someone clarify my doubts.
Thanks.

A thought about meeting the Senators/Congressmen.
Should we not meet the new senators and congressmen now, BEFORE they actually join office? I have a feeling that once they take office, they will become too busy with day to day stuff and immigration will DEFINITELY become a back-burner issue.
Is it possible to meet the new people moving in after January, now instead of after they take office?

Dear Sir / Madam
I am a software consultant on H1B. I have recently concluded my employment in California for client A and now I have relocated to GA where I am working for client B.
I have the following questions in this regard:
1) Should I do an LCA transfer to the state of GA from CA? + How many days do I have from the date of original relocation to do this transfer?
2) Can I do this paper work by myself or would I need the help of an immigration lawyer? + Any idea of what the average / approximate expense would be?
Any information with regards to this is highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

The minimum requirements for a particular job may, and often do differ from the minimum requirements for EB-2 classification. As long as the actual requirement for a given positon is at least a Master's Degre or equivalent (defined as a Bachelor's Degree plus at least five (5) years of progressively responsible relevant experience), then the position qualifies for EB-2 classification.
The labor certification and I-40 Immigrant Visa Petition will not be approved unless the beneficiary is able to document education and experience meeting or exceding the actual minimum requirements for the job as set forth on the application for Labor Certification.

I am currently on H1-B, however, I was not staffed on any project and hence was not paid for the past one year and two months. Now I want to apply for a change of status to H4 and found that I may need to provide recent pay stubs for 2-3 months. I was not aware of the rule that in such case one should file a COS within 180 days of H1-B activation. I spoke to my employer about this and he asked me to file for a COS without submitting any pay stubs. In case a RFE comes asking for pay stubs etc, he said we would provide a letter stating that due to personal family problems and relocation problems I was not able to join any project.
In fact my employer informed me that there were 5 other employees who had the same case recently. All of them had applied for a change of status without any pay stubs and only one of them got an RFE and the above stated letter was sufficient for the RFE response and the COS was subsequently successful.
I wanted to get advice for the best course of action for filing my Change of Status.

In page number 20, It says India is exempt from 6 month rule and you are required to have passport validity for only your intended period of stay. Any ideas?

Chanduvu,
TSC online system seems to be still down - I tried adding a new receipt number and its not accepting, I talked to my lawyer and she mentioned that she heard same from a bunch of her other clients. Since my EAD is still valid for another couple months, I didnt try to go for InfoPass yet.
These days people are getting RFE's left and right and TSC's online system is down just in time :( In many cases it may not be a big deal (to answer the query in time) but having online system updates was useful to prepare for any such thing. Now we have to wait for the letter.

IRS is very clear on this. SSN+ITIN couple filing jointly, no rebate for either of them. See this link http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=179211,00.html
However, you should apply for an SSN for your wife ASAP. You may retroactively get this 2007 rebate when you file 2008 taxes.
Using your wife's SSN for tax purposes will not impact her legal status in any way.
Is it true that H4 spouse, who do not have SSN are not eligible for tax rebate if while filing a joint tax return for 2007 ITIN is used for spouse.
It seems ITIN is given to illegal aliens too and hence it is not possible for IRS to determine which ITIN holders are legal and which are illegal. Thus they are not going to give tax rebates to ITIN holders.
My wife is on H4 and has a EAD/AP. Should I apply for SSN to receive the tax rebates? But since the tax rebates are based on 2007 tax return I will have to file the tax return using her SSN to get the rebates.
Also will SSN affect her H4 status if EAD is not used?
What do you guys think?

USCIS recently issued a Memo that amends Adjudicator�s Field Manual on General Form I-140 Issues. Many issues are covered, but one of particular interest to our PERM (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1135851.html)readers is the Labor Certification Validity for Labor Certifications with an Ending Validity Date that Falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Federal Legal Holiday.
DOL has established a 180-day validity period for approved labor certifications. See 20 CFR 656.30(b). An approved labor certification must be filed in support of a Form 1-140 petition during the labor certification's validity period. DOL has not published any guidance regarding the treatment of labor certifications that effectively have a validity period of less than 180 days due to an ending validity date that falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a federal legal holiday.
USCIS will accept the filing of 1-140 petitions where the supporting labor certification validity period ends on a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday on the next business day, i.e., the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday. This action is most consistent with existing USCIS regulations, which allow cut-off dates for the filing of petitions and applications that fall on a Saturday, Sunday or federal legal holiday to be extended until the next business day. See 8 CFR 1.1 (h). This procedure provides petitioning employers the benefit of the full 180 day validity period for approved labor certifications established by DOL.

imagine, if MF digital backs were say, $6999, how many would sell???
bloody thousands....
seems stupid to me to make them so expensive
Right now, they can't make them cheaper. Michael Reichmann (sp?) of the Luminous Landscape speculated that Leaf probably makes a dozen or so of their new Valeo 22 MF backs each month, compared to how many hundreds of thousands of dRebels Canon makes? IIRC, he estimated that the sensor alone (without any support electronics or other hardware) might cost $5000 per unit to make.
Don't be mistaken, I'd love to be able to afford one of those, too, but it will be quite a while before the prices come down significantly (and I doubt they'll ever get quite that low).
