Hi
I am Technical Director and have been working in the US under o1 visa for 2 years
This visa has initially been sponsored by a company, so I can only work for this company
A lawyer told me that I could self-sponsor another o1 and then be able to work for as much company I want. I have an agent but he is not able to guarantee full time employment.
So I am wondering if I should do that or not.. What are the exact salary requirements for a self-sponsored o1?
I got a good folder, awards, recommendations and publications.
Thanks a lot for your answers

Raise has nothing to do with GC processing.Decision of Raise Limit is set by employer and promotion does comes with change in job description.Keep one thing in mind Corporations make profit out of everybody whether its customers or employees doesnt matter.Corporations exists to make profits.by the way do you work for non-profit organization ?? in that case things are a little different based on finanicial availability.

One of the biggest gripe, that legal retrogressed immigrants have about the immigration system here, is that the current retrogression locks them up in one position far too long for them to grow in career. Either your company was not advised properly by your attorney or you were not aware of this simple rule that you need to work in the same job category (with as many employers as you wish subject AC21) until about six month passes after you get your green card. Otherwise you could run into trouble at some point.

At lease H1B should qualify for Stimulus amount if not H4
H1B has valid SSN and should qualify for Stimulus amount even if they are filing the taxes as married filing jointly with spouse having H4.
lets hope and try for it.

Your H1-B visa approval notice for the new employer comes with the new I-94 when you renew/transfer it, that is valid till the visa expiration date on the notice. Check the apporval notice and there must be a detachable perforation at the bottom which says I-94 on it. This new I-94 needs to be attached to your passport. If you do not have it, ask your employer, they might have it. Legally, you should have that I-94 in your possession.

Hi,
I had my last name misspelled and middle name missing on my filed perm labor application and it was filed on 12/12/2007. It was selected for audit in Feb 2008 and have not received any update until now. Can this error in my name be corrected on my application. Please advice.
Sorry to say this, but it was dumb to have sent an application with misspelled last name! You got to check and recheck before filing it.
DOL audits do take a long time, write to them about the error. Also, get the help of an attorney (labor or immigration)

H-1B visas are work visas that allow foreign nationals to temporarily work in the United States for a U.S. employer. A U.S. employer may petition a foreign national under the H-1B classification which specifically applies to individuals in a “specialty occupation." A specialty occupation has three requirements. First, an individual must have a bachelor’s degree or higher degree or its equivalent for the particular position. Second, the degree must be common in the industry among similar organizations. Third, the employer must normally require a degree or equivalent; or the nature of the specific duties is so specialized and complex that knowledge required to perform the duties is usually associated with attainment of the degree.
Individuals with H-1B visas are allowed to work in the United States for up to six years, but visas are granted in three-year increments. In some cases, the H-1B visas may be extended for more than six years. If the individual is in the United States, a change of status to an H-1B is filed in the United States. If the individual is outside the United States, upon approval of the petition, the individual must apply for an H-1B visa at the U.S. consulate. There are only 65,000 H-1B visas issued per year.
The beginning of the fiscal year for 2010 is October 1, 2009. Employers may begin filing their petitions six months prior to the start date of employment but the individuals cannot start their jobs until October 1.
It is vital for those individuals wishing to work in the United States to begin preparing their H-1B paperwork before the cap is reached. As of August 7, 2009, approximately 44,900 H-1B cap-subject petitions had been received by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and counted towards the cap. Please call us at 214-999-9999 if you would like to begin the H-1B process. The H-1B cap-subject count is available at the USCIS Web site (http://www.uscis.gov).

The Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) provides for the admission of different classes of nonimmigrants who are foreign nationals seeking temporary admission to the United States. The purpose of the nonimmigrant�s intended stay in the United States determines his or her proper nonimmigrant classification. Some classifications permit the nonimmigrant�s spouse and qualifying children to accompany the nonimmigrant to the United States or to join the nonimmigrant here. To qualify, a child must be unmarried and under the age of 21.
F-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(F) of the Act, are foreign students coming to the United States to pursue a full course of academic study in SEVP-approved schools. An F-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an F-1 student.
M-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(M) of the Act, are foreign nationals pursuing a full course of study at an SEVP-approved vocational or other recognized nonacademic institution (other than in language training programs) in the United States. An M-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an M-1 student.
SEVP is the DHS program that administers SEVIS. It ensures that government agencies have essential data related to nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors to preserve national security. SEVP provides approval and oversight to schools authorized to enroll F and M nonimmigrant students and gives guidance to both schools and students about the requirements for maintenance of their status.
ICE SEVP I-17 FAQs provide information for schools about SEVP certification, including background on SEVP and SEVIS, SEVP certification basics, an overview of the SEVP certification process, preparing the petition for SEVP certification, and preparing for a site visit.

I am posting this question on behalf of a friend who needs some guidance w.r.t. H4 extension.
His H1b expires at the end of this month and he had applied for an H1b extension during Nov '06 after he received his I-140 approval. He received a RFE this week with USCIS requesting for additional documents. He had not applied for H4 extension during Nov '06 as his wife just moved to US in Jan 07. Her H4 expires at the end of this month. His problem is if he can apply for H4 extension for his wife, even though his own H1b has still not been extended due to a RFE. He can continue working as his application is still pending with USCIS but can he apply for H4 extension for his wife along with the additional documentation he is now going to send to USCIS in response to the RFE? Or can he apply for H4 extension based on the H1b receipt notice from USCIS? Or does he have to wait until he receives his H1b extension approved before he can apply for H4 extension? If that is the case, what would his wife's status be after her H4 expires at the end of this month and he has still not received the approval notice for H1 extension. Anyone with some knowledge in this area, please advise.

I had the same problems 3 weeks back for B'bay. We had to submit all papers atleast 5 days in advance to VFS office in Ahmedabad. They refused to accept my papers. I had to cancel that application and submit a new one with Regular H1B instead of Visa Renewal. Luckily, VFS accepted my application papers which i sent to my relatives in email. I signed the papers once i reached consulate.

I think once you are in AOS pending , I-94 will not come into play.....
It will be great if IV can collect all these questions and submit to USICS for a complete FAQ on their website.

Howdy,
You cannot file for EAD or AP unless your get your I-485 receipt (A copy of the receipt notice needs to be included in the EAD and AP application). The EAD and AP should go to the same service center as your I-485 application. The address will be listed on your I-485 receipt notice. Pretty straight forward, you can do it yourself, do not pay a lawyer for preparing these documents. Good luck.

Hi
I have been on H1 for 4 years in the US and left the country last november voluntarily due to personal reasons. My H1 is still valid till next year september. Now that I have over the "365" days rule... my employer propositioned me to come back and work for them. My question is :
If I apply for H1 after november would USCIS consider this as a fresh 6 year period starting next year?
Second - If I apply for H1 after november will I only have 2yrs since I have not completed the six year period. If so, what is the solution after coming back to make use of the six year period.
I hold an MS from US, so I would imagine that I fall under the Advanced degree Cap of 20,000.
Please post some feed back people.

Guys,
I spoke to another Border Post official and he suggested that i drive uptp the nearest border and they would refuse my entry to Canada as i don't have a valid visa and i can turn around and come back to US and i can get a new I-94. Do you think it would be safe to do this ?
Any advices?
If you have travelled to Canada in May even if you have a single entry visa into Canda, you are more likely to be let into canda than refused. On the way back if you ask they might issue you a new I-94, strictly speaking they don't have to unless you have stayed some period (I don't know the exact period) out side the country.
Most parents coming to US on visitor visa and wanting to stay in us for more than 6 months apply for new I-94s(extension), just because attempting to cross the border does not give them a new I-94.

My wife came to USA in 2002 on H4.She changed from H4 to H1 in 2004 Nov.Since then she worked continuously till now (Jan 2009).Now she's planning to take a break and change back to H4.If she wants to work again sometime in future maybe after a couple of years will she come under quota?Does she have to apply for a new H1 or can she work the remaining 2 yrs left on her H1?We missed the bus and could not apply for 485 in July.
Thanks to any suggestions.
>> Now she's planning to take a break and change back to H4.
File for change of status to H4.
>> If she wants to work again sometime in future maybe after a couple of years will she come under quota?
Since she got H1 status first time in Nov 2004, she can have H1 transfer without quota only until Nov 2010. After that her H4-to-H1 will be subject to cap.

Hi guys.
I have been looking at several options on a new lens. I don't have a big budget to go out and buy the lens I really want, and looking around it seems that Olympus doesn't have a very wide selection of affordable lenses. I have an Olympus E-Volt 500, and I did see that I can get an adapter ring that would allow me to use any lens that will work with a Nikon Digital Camera. My question is....would using an adapter ring to use other brands of lenses detract from the quality of my images, and would it take away from the speed of the lens?
Thanks for the input.
