I-102 will not work you need to file I-539 for extension of I-94.
I-102 is for replacement I-94.
I am sorry but the rules clearly state that passport needs to be 6 months beyond the intendent travel period.
Unfortunately for H1 that could mean several months or 2-3 years.
fork up $300 unless you plan to be put of status or can find a cheaper way of flying out to Mexico/canada and flying back in.

Thank you for your response raysaikat! Could you please rephrase your first part of the answer "This is not a valid reasoning. The "no" is not related to immigration intent. It is related to if you made factually correct statements."? It's a bit confusing.
There are two different things. (i) Intention to commit immigration fraud by mis-representing facts; (ii) Intention to immigrate.
By returning from the US after your trip, you have proved (ii) to be false (i.e., you did not have intention to immigrate at least at that time). However, that evidence does not prove (i) to be false.
You're saying I need to *prove* that I have no intention for immigrating to US. Do you mean that they must clearly see that I have no intention to stay in the US after I finish college?
Yes, it is a requirement for issuing F-1.
The I-130 form is pending so it's obvious I have such intentions. However, the process takes a very long time. Do you think that if I prove that I plan to go back home after school and then wait for the process in my home country I'll be issued a visa?
Good question, and I do not know the answer. What you say may be true. Please consult a qualified attorney (or ask your brother to consult one).
Do they have information regarding the "I-130" process in their database?
Yes. The IO should have access to all prior and pending immigration related activities associated with you.
I mean there is a chance they don't even ask about it. Well, last time we applied they didn't.
Also, do you think that my previous false response to the application form question could in some way affect my I-130 process? I mean I've returned back so in my understanding it shouldn't be a problem. Please explain.
It should not affect your I-130, but again, I am not a lawyer and you seem to need reliable answers (i.e., you need to consult a lawyer).
If I get lucky and get a visa issued. What happens next? Is it easy to switch to a working "H1B" visa from "F-1" visa and maintain this status until the end of the "I-130" process?
Yes, H1-B is dual-intent. I.e., you do not need to prove non-immigration intent for getting an H1-B stamp.
Is it ok to leave the country while on "H1B" status while "I-130" pending? Please comment. Thank you.
I am not familiar about I-130 that much. If I-130 is similar to I-140, then it is okay to leave US while it is pending. However, if you file I-485, then you must have Advanced Parole before leaving US. Again, a question for a lawyer.

My case status online does not say anything about when it was received. It just says, "This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.". There is so much ambiguity at USCIS that it takes tons of reading / pulling hair just to understand what they mean. They have transferred my case three times. First of all there should be a reason for it (no reason makes it you wonder why ??) , then if they keep transferring it from one center to another, does that mean that the "received date" will be changing for ever and the case will never be processed ? I think USCIS should be accountable for that.
basbawa10, Well, why they are transfering your case back and forth can only be explained by them. Very fact that your case has been transfered around suggests that somebody has seen your case. Procedures described in link mentioned above, has a protocol on determining proper processing center, which has a complex formula based on state of residence, center approving I-140 etc. If your I-140 was approved by one center, and if in the meantime you moved to a state in different center jurisdiction, or USCIS changed jurisdictions, it might have created ambiguity on who should deal your case. Back and forth transfer suggests that centers are not agreeing on who should deal with your case. You may want to try an Infopass, which would let you know if your case is preadjudicated. If so, you just need to wait for PD to be current again.

I dont think that revoking I-140 by sponsoring employer has any affect on the your process if you use AC21 after 180 days...Not sure about the before 180- days situation though !!:rolleyes:

Not that easy and good as it sounds.
There is a per country quote and yearly wastage you need to factor in.
Is per country quota true even during last quarter? I thought it was not in July 2007 and going by previous years history, India EB3 has always been getting more than their alloted 8000 (or whatever) numbers!
And, just like wastage, I have not accounted for duplicate filings (which I guess could be a lot)!!
So, 4 years - to me seems reasonable.

Hello.
I have the same problem.
My brother is a US citizen who has filed an I-130 for me and my family in May, 2008. We've traveled to the US on B1/B2 visas in February, 2009. The thing about it is that in the DS-156 form point "36. Has Anyone Ever Filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf?" we've answered "No". I've had no idea at that time that it was referring to the petition for alien relative. Anyways, we've returned back home in time.
The question is: "Is this possible to prove that I did'n know about the petition?" And how do I prove that the wrong answer is not "willfull misrepresentation of material fact"?

Such companies thrive because immigrants are not complaining about them enough.
If you find any company breaking the law, abusing the system or 'exploiting' immigrants as anti-immigrants allege, you must take action.
DOL USCIS must be informed. Search the forum and you will find resources how to do it. Unless we all take steps, there will be few bad apples that will give a bad name to the entire system.
I think it was Mahatma Gandhi who said that a person who accepts a bad deed and does not take action is also equally responsible as the person doing it.
IV strongly condemns anyone breaking the law. People must report it to the authorities. IV community must work on protecting the rights of the immigrants and support anyone who is willing to go against companies that break the law or 'exploit' immigrants.

Hi poorslumdogs,
If you refer to some thread, please do not ask others to search for it. Instead paste its link in your post so others can read it.
I heard from my friends there are no legal implications if you get laid off on EAD and you also have a valid parolee document.
This should get verified from an attorney though, specially if others create a doubt.
[QUOTE=.....That thread was created in the last 2-3 months time. So search for it.
There is definitely some legal implication otherwise why your employer wants to inform USCIS. They wanted to be in the safer side. So if anything happens you are the one going to face the music. So check with some good attorney.[/QUOTE]

Does anyone have any insight on this thing called "Last Action Rule"?
Scenario:
1) Visa stamp till Feb 28,2007.
2) Extension of 3 year H1B based on approved I140 starting March 1,2007.
3) International travel, returning to the US on Feb 3.
Now at the port of entry, the officer takes an action of saying your I-94 is valid till Feb 27. Basically this invalidates your previous H approval that starts from March 1. Some "Last Action Rule".
Reference: http://www.murthy.com/news/n_cosapp.html
Has anyone gone through this?
Basically the idea is that the person has to get a new H1B stamp when in India for the extension.
Well the information in the link to Murthy's article that you submitted clearly states the I94 will not invalidate your future approval. so your extension is valid.
I am not sure what your question is?

against the mouse, press it against your forehead and think about the benifits that you milked from this country".
Lot of people didnt milk much benefits....only people who came on F1 and worked as RA/TA probably "milked"
from US
Rest who were working on H1B paid all the taxes same as any american and
got no returns for it.
A whole lot of people milked from "H1B" workers
As a matter of fact H1B worked for far lower wages than the market forces
would decide thereby keeping the cost of IT infrastructure support for the
financial services, insurance, retail etc low just as mexicans work for
below min wages to keep the cost of maintaining the infrastructure low.
Corporate America knows this and thats why they always shout for H1B
shortage , they NEVER shout for EB visa shortage or just do a lip service
because it looks bad.

Hi gurus
I look for a help in terms of clarification for birth cert,,
1. Born in 70 but my birth was registered in 2005 when I wanted a birth certificate, BC issued in aug 2005 and says registered in 2005. Is it ok I use them or I need an affidavit also from my parents?
2. There is one letter written wrongly in my name.. can i send or get a new one??
I would greatly appreciate your advise on this
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi friend,
1st question). As per immigration rules,if ur birth is registered on or after 1year of ur birth till date,u got to submit two additional sworn affidavits along with the birth certificate as proof.
So in ur case since ur birth was registered in 2005 and got a new birth certificate in 2005 u need to submit the following :
Birth certificate(which u have now with u..issued in august 2005)
+
Two sworn affidavits from any two blood relatives(mom,dad,siblings,aunt,uncle) older and get notarised
by any attorney/magitrate.The following is the format.
************************************************** ********
AFFIDAVIT REGARDING BIRTH
I __________________ (name) being the _________________ (relationship father, mother, sister, brother, aunt, uncle), to ______________ (FN name), reside at ___________________ (address, including country), do hereby solemnly affirm and state on oath as follows:
I declare that _________________ is my (son/daughter/brother/sister/niece/
nephew). He/She was born on __(Date)_____ in (town, country) and that ______________ (father’s name) is his/her father and _____________ (mother’s name) is his/her mother.
______________________________

AFFIDAVITS MUST BE PROVIDED BY TWO (2) BLOOD RELATIVES, (MOTHER, FATHER, AUNT, UNCLE), AND THIS DOCUMENT MUST BE WITNESSED AND STAMPED BY AN ADVOCATE/NOTARY FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF YOUR COUNTRY.
************************************************** ********
Note :
whatever be the case,combined affidavit will not work.Please ask any two of ur blood relations to give them individually.in my case My dad gave me one affidavit and my aunt gave me one affidavit,coz my mom was in usa that time with me.please check with ur lawyer.this format was 2months old format.i got it done in May 2007.
2 question).Name spelling mispelt in birth certificate needs a combined affidavit from parents and notarised.
Please check with ur lawyer too,
Goodluck,
