Can i travel back to USA via London/UK without a valid US visa but with a valid AP?
London is kind of picky to make sure we have a valid US visa when traveling via their country and have to change planes.
My friend was coming back to USA via Emirates (Dubai/London/USA) and he was prevented to board the Dubai to London segment because he did not have a valid USA visa and they were not considering the AP documents.
Flew in on BA via London using my AP in February and everything was fine. They all know what an AP is. But I hope you are aware that you are required to have a UK transit visa since you do not have a valid US visa; just an AP. That's approx $92 per visa.
Or you can perform a search on these forums for a thread that listed the airlines (countries, actually) that do not require you to have a transit visa if you are reentering US on a AP.
Thanks,
Jayant

Hi Experts/Lawyers,
Hope someone can shed some light on this case, anyone who is/has experienced this situation.Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
My previous company (9yrs), they filed for my GC.
Labor approved and they did a concurrent filing in august 2007.
After a year I lost my job, no choice, had to quit, tired to hang in there for I-140 approval but, they had one lay off and I was safe and another layoff soon after I left the company.
After a month or so they withdrew my I-140 petition and it was not approved.I didn't get any notice, but came to know when I got my I-485 denial notcie.
I found a new job out of state, working remote.Filed for I-485 and I-140 MTR/appeal with the help of new attorneys.They claimed since the concurrent filing was past 180 days and if I-140 was approvable they should approve it and allow me to port to the new company.
Meanwhile I got H1B extension with the new company.
The MTR/Appeal Got denied and the notice didn't mention anywhere that my petition was unapprovable, but since it was withdrawn, it's denied and we did show the proof of new job and job offer and pay stubs in the same/similar position and responsibility.
We tired two more appeals, I tried Congressional office, everything failed. Now the attorneys suggest that I go for Writ of Mandamus, and I' am going for that now.
Meanwhile my H1B with the new company is valid till sept of this year.I do not have new perm pending or new GC process, but will still have the job offer for AC21.
Also my spouse is a GC holder, will be eligible to file for citizenship in 2011.
I have to stay legal till that happens or I hear from the lawsuit.Can't extend H1B since GC process is not pending now (this was my 9th year extension).
What are my options? Is it safe to try and see if I can change my status to F1 and go to school here till my spouse gets the citizenship? I have a I-130 pending through that way.So my immigrant intend is clear.Help please.

Everyone, please write to USCIS Ombudsman's office and complain about the issues we are having dealing with USCIS. Also, seek their assistance in having USCIS process our applications in a FIFO manner especially for the transferred cases. Also write to them about slow down in I-140 processing and requesting them to reinstate PP for I-140 petitions. Unless we write and put some presurre, things will not change. You can write about any of the issues you are facing with USCIS as they are available to assist us. I think its worth a shot for us folks.

Dear IV Members,
Plans for Next Call
As I draft this post, we are working on the specifics of organizing the next call. We intend to have the call next friday, 20 Oct 2006, and are awaiting confirmation. Please watch out for more information on the forums in the next couple of days.
Range of questions for the upcoming call
At this time, the list of questions has been frozen for the next call. The range of accepted questions is between 71 and 100. This post is being communicated so that members can plan to be present for any follow-up questions they may request the attorney in real-time
Questions not accepted by the attorney
Questions with the following IDs were not accepted by the attorney for the upcoming call: 87, 91, 95, 99
Why was my question not taken up?
The following is a list of probable reasons why certain questions may not have been accepted. This list, is of course, not exhaustive.
- too complicated for a call requiring further discussion or research
- lack of clarity in the law on specific situations
- incomplete
- too generic
- frivioulous
- no previous incidence that the attorney can draw upon without significant research(new situation)
Sending us your questions
We also request members to not send emails from corporate email accounts. It is IV's policy to refrain as much as possible from sending email to members that may constitute as spam.
While we do not want to spam you, there might be exceptional situations wherein we may need to alert you of last-minute changes, and corporate email accounts might consider such alerts(if at all, any) as spam and may hence be filtered.
Keep 'em coming
Lastly, do not let a rejected question deter you from sending in new questions. We encourage you to keep sending in your questions so that we can leverage the attorney's pro bono service.
Enhancing and streamlining the conf. call process
We realize that certain questions may be time-sensitive, and may no longer be relevant when we finalize on a conference call date. Please bear with us as we streamline the process and make our response times better.
Thank you

Agree with Hpandey, in this situation, 245K would help and any out of status period is counted only from the time after his latest entry, any out of status periods before that do not matter. Even without 245K i dont think the USCIS will make a big deal of this or even notice, but you never know.

One cannot work on H4.
i was told by my lawyer - if spouse stops working, s/he can go back to H4, but you need to confirm with a lawyer, given your specific case.
Thanks for your response, Nil

Create your rectangle with the rectangle tool. Make sure you rasterize the layer first (right click on the layer with the rectangle and choose rasterize).
Now hold CTRL and click on the layer with the retangle. This will select the rectangle. Now go to Edit/Stroke.
Mess with the settings in there and voila, you have a black border around your square.

Hi,
My H1 is expiring on 31st March. And my employer applied for I129 which is recieved on 3rd Feb.; in case I do not get approval from USICS before/on 31st March, CAN I stay in USA & work?
And my DL is also expiring on same day but DMV is not ready to issue new DL until I get new approval. How can I get DL if I do not get approval doc by 31st macrh.
Is there any chance I do not get H1 approval (even after 31st March)...
regards...

That remains to be seen. Congress cannot act in a mere speculation that there will be spierce competition between EU and US on skilled labor. US still attracts a lot of foreign skills. Increasing the number is not always seen as a solution but streamlining is or efficiency in adjudication is.
Anothe problem is that US thought it is adding more into the work force everyyear by giving out immigrant visas (EB). This is wrong because most of the applicants are already in the workforce under H1B and their dependents. What EB visas do was to retain these foreign skills by giving them permanent residence status. Therefore, EB visas are there not to add into the workforce but to maintain the current workforce.
The real visas for adding into the workforce is the H1B, which is temporary and only 65,000 per year which in a week time was used up.

Nothing positive? Check this out:

There were those who got their I-140 cleared under EB2 and were practically jumping with joy at the door closing behind them. Some were even taking credit for the move :)
Generally it doesnot help to stop line behind you. But here in USCIS world that may help as people from 2006 got GC before people from 2004-5 . If no people from 2006 were there may be 2004- 05 people may have got their card.
but if new administration makes USCIS to more productive ,closing door behind any one will not help.

Hi,
I am on H1B since June 2004. My company filed labor and I-140. My I-140 got approved on Oct 2008. I am on my 6th year in H1B and I got my H1 extension till Apr 2012 (based on the I-140 approval) recently. Based on this information, can you please reply for the following?
a) Can I move to a different company now? Since my H1 extension is based on I-140 approval, I am not sure if this can be used to transfer to new company.
b) When I do a H1 transfer now, Will I get my H1 date till Apr 2012 as per my current H1 approval notice or just for the few more months I had on my original H1B?
c) What will happen to my labor and I-140 after my H1 transfer? My labor was originally applied in EB3 category. Can I file a new one in EB2 category after transferring to the new company?
Thanks in advance...

Now that it is 180 days Since Jul 2nd and some of us are thinking about AC21. Some are invoking AC21 and sending the documentation as soon as they change jobs and others are thinking of not informing the CIS (AFAIK Informing CIS is not mandatory as per AC21).
A friend of mine changed jobs 3 times after filing I485 never informing the CIS and got his GC without any RFE. He has the luxury of the lawyer who originally filed the I485 work with him and the company never revoked I140(because they laid him off). Another friend sent the documentation about invocation of AC21 and got RFE.
It is expressed in other related threads to start a poll so that we can have an idea of trends in AC21 usage.
This is a simple poll.
PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE ONLY IF YOU HAD ALREADY CHANGED THE JOB. DON'T VOTE IF YOU ARE JUST THINKING OF CHANGING THE JOB BUT DID NOT CHANGE YET.
