My husband and I are both on H1 now. My H1 will not expire until 2009 but I plan to quit my job and transfer to H4 for family reasons. Suppose I quit from H1 on June 1, 2007, what is the best time for me to file I539 to transfer to H4? Do I need to file right now or just anytime before June 1?
Another question is that if I quit H1 on June 1, but the change of status to H4 will not be approved until later, say, September 1, 2007, what will be my visa status between those time? Will I be considered out-of-status?
Thanks for your help!

Yes. you are indeed having a discussion - a discussion with yourself because little of what you are saying is making any sense to anyone on this forum.
Yelling out a lie a hundred times doesnt make it the truth.
If you read IV's provisions, the one on tops is removal of per-country limits. Basically, it would remove all EB3 backlogs and WAS a part of the legislation introducted by rep lofgren in 2007/2008. for political reasons, it never passed in the house. Of course, you would blame IV for lobbying in such a way that the bills did not pass.
its very easy to criticise. Why dont you start an organization that would (in your opinion) do more for EB3? I am sure you will get the support of the thousands you claim do not believe in IV? If you succeed in doing that, there is no reason to have this "discussion".
you are a typical arm-chair critic who probably has done and will never do anything even one cents worth for the EB backlog cause.
Yes and you are showing your maturity by talking about what i write as a long essay and garbage. Why are EB2 guys scared to have a dicsussion. Is it because you donot have any talking points and are talking vaguly yourselves
BTW the reason i write so detailed is because i believe i am respecting you by replying in detail to your points. I was under the impression that we were having a discussion, but sadly i am having a disucssion and you are ranting and raving.

That is for the 2008 stimulus. They were going to do the same in 2009, but it was reversed at the last minute. I am sorry I could not get the 2008 stimulus overturned. The best we were able to do was the HEART Act, which only helps those who are active military. However, the 2009 stimulus is available for everyone. This time it is not a one time payment, but you will see a small increase in your monthly paycheck.
Thanks for your efforts Totoro, I was confused because the guy said last year! Good going.

Hello ,
My situation is similar to yrs. I need some information. I am on h1b right now. My fiancee is in india and we are planning to marry in May. After that he will come here on H4 visa.
when can he apply for H4 to h1 , we can apply only in April or anytime after he come here....
How can he apply for H4 to H1 transfer after comming here ?
and how long it will it take for H4 to h1 transfer......
Please anybody reply me as soon as possible.
Hello - I have a unique situation. I'm currently in the US on H1B, and my fiance is in India working for a reputed software company. We are planning to get married by end of April.
I want her to come to US on a work visa (hopefully H1B). I got to know that to make the FY09 H1B cap, she has to apply for H1B on Apr 1 2008, and wait till Oct 1 to travel if her visa gets approved. But since we are getting married by end of April, I don't want her to stay in India till October while I'm here.
The other option I was thinking was to apply for her H1B on Apr 1, but still go ahead and apply for H4 in early May, so that she can travel on H4 in May. And once her H1 is approved, she would already be in the US and can start working from Oct 1. Is this possible? Will this plan create any problems for her H4 or H1 visa application?
If the above does not work, what are my other options? If I miss the Apr 1 2008 deadline, the next earliest she can apply for H1 is Apr 1 2009, and work from Oct 1 2009 - and I don't want to wait that long.
Another option is to get married before Apr, get her to US on H4 before Apr, and apply for change of status to H1 on Apr 2008. But the marriage plans for Apr is made and to push the dates back would not be easy.
Any help in this matter is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Not everyone is getting approved. I am still waiting.
Most of people are getting. Your case may have some issues. Or it may be in hand of person who is on week or vacation. Date current means no guarantee that you will get on day 1.
If you don't get with in 30 days , you should contact USCIS or ask IV to help. Pappu already created thread if any one not getting approval and are long time donor should contact IV so they can dedicate resource.

If, you have an approved EB3 and I-140 for a particular position from the same employer, and you file an EB-2 via PERM for the same employer, then there is a possibility of an audit and the first approved Lc on EB-3 rescinded. You, can however take your 5 years of experience and then file EB-2 for a different employer via PERM, provided your first employer does not withdraw your approved EB-3 I-140 petition. So my advise is get the best possible advice from the best lawyer and tread with caution.

Mr. Pagal,
Its very unfortunate, that most of us are very active only when a Visa Bulletin is released, bickering about EB1, EB3, EB1 etc. Then the topic dies until the next visa bulletin is released.
There are plenty of action items to do, have you checked those, I recommend you do that ASAP. Mind that the IV core also has a professional and personal life, no one pays them to do what they do at IV. Simply pointing fingers at others will not help with our cause. Contributing some $$ is also an action Item, I suggest you start with that.
Have a good one!!
7z
Understandably so. But the contention is that whatever efforts that IV putting in, is not helping EB3 much. Not finger pointing that IV hasn't done anything or biased towards EB3. But its just the fact that its helping only EB2 folks (of course, nothing against EB2), but everyone can see the how badly EB3I is affected.
It doesn't make sense if people argue EB2 are brightest or high cast community. That's a BS. Most, if not all, know the fact that its not a case.
Yes, I would suggest working with IV to achieve the goals.

I am jumping ahead of the situation here, but I just wanted to see what other members think/know. Assuming that the 90K visa recapture happens, It doesnt take too long for them to be used up in the current situation where there are a lot of people with labors and approved 140's (w/PERM). Not every one will have an oppurtunity to file for a new labor and file for 485. If DOS makes the PD's current / post Mar 2005, wouldn't it be unfair to people who labors are pending for 3 yrs. How does this work out in the previous recapture? HLG doesnt say about numbers being forwarded to the next year though.
To be fair, maybe we should ask the lawmakers not to allow the recapture of the 90k visas to make sure that people with later PD will get GC later. Besides, we should ask DOL to retrogress again, maybe to sometime in 2000, to guarantee that everyone before that time gets his/her GC. We should also ask USCIS to stop processing 485s and resume until BEC finishs all the LCs.
Recapture 90k visas will never worsen, if not improve, your situation!

Pl. add this:
Adding / filing for Spouse's 485 should not be dependent on one's priority being current. This in turn forces the primay applicant to remain on H1b status to maintain spouse's H4.
(Above applies to those folks who got married after their primary 485 was filed but expected to remain pending due to retrogression.)
I would think that the above ties into the fact that dependents are currently being counted for visa numbers.

You are laying your own immaturity out there by rambling on and on about vague facts and statements only to make the same point again and again - that you think IV does not represent EB3. Why dont you state that one line and save us the trouble of reading your meaningless drivel??
yes, this rant is oft repeated by around 5-6 members who do NOT represent the thousands of EB folks (EB2 AND EB3) who are affected by this mess.
So before you start one of your long drawn essays again, step back and THINK (which you do not seem to be doing at all..or are not capable of doing) about whether you are contributing even one bit to solving the problem or trying to add to the problem. we can do a lot more if we spend less time trying to drill sense into wayward people like you.
Think about -
1) how many lawmakers you have met till date to resolve the EB3 problem (which you accuse IV of not solving). Have you asked a lawmaker while per country limits cannot be removed....an act which will remove all EB3 backlog??
2) how many IV advocacy events have you attended?
Yes and you are showing your maturity by talking about what i write as a long essay and garbage. Why are EB2 guys scared to have a dicsussion. Is it because you donot have any talking points and are talking vaguly yourselves
BTW the reason i write so detailed is because i believe i am respecting you by replying in detail to your points. I was under the impression that we were having a discussion, but sadly i am having a disucssion and you are ranting and raving.

I had applied for H1b visa (change of status) in 2007 March.And also applied for H4 extension at the same time....I got my h4 extendion paper in July and after 2 days got my H1b Visa approved. i did applied for SSN in october,but till now my employer didn't get me any job, paystub or offer letter.
I want to go to india now so my question is can i go h4 visa stamping??
My questions are:
1) Am i out of status?? Someone told me that i will be banned for 3 yrs. Is there any possibility?
2) Should i file a compliant to US DOL abt the employer who filed my H1b visa?
I don't have any offer letter, only the I-797A paper with me.Do I need any lawyer to file complaint to DOL or can i do it on my own?
3) Will it affect my husband's H1B visa and our Future GC processing?
Please suggest me what should i do....
Really appreciate ur help on this matter.

Has anyone asked attorney whether we can write our case number on the complaint letter without asking employer since LC(PERM) is filed by employer and the case number seems to belong to employer.
My HR and company hired attorney are always not cooperative to my GC and I want to clear things.
Don't take my question negative. I am fully supportive this 100% and appreciate guys very much. I am happy that we are doing something to make things better.
My attorney does not recommend sending letter to the DOL. Attorney recommendation is that benificiary should have no actual involvement in the labor certification process. If we get involved in the the process, it could result in an adverse impact on the process.
Based on this I am not sending the letter.
