Lately, US Consular Officers in Canada have been reluctant to issue H-1B visas when the applicant does not have a US or Canadian University Degree AND has never had an H-1B visa issued at his/her home Consulate. The following is an excerpt from Visa Requirements • U.S. Consular Services in Canada (http://www.consular.canada.usembassy.gov/usa_visa.asp#ability:)
"Evidence of qualifications must be original or certified copy. Consular officers in Canada may refuse to issue a visa to H-1B applicants if their education and /or work experience is solely or predominantly from a country other than the U.S. or Canada."
As you probably know, if you are refused a visa in Canada, you cannot return to the US until you travel to your home country and obtain your H-1B visa there.

What do you mean by reputation?
Having a good website or a forum does not mean the lawyer is reputed. Even small lawyers can be good and can pay more attention to a case. Some lawyers do not know marketing and do not have good website, but they maybe good in law.

roseball,
Thanks for your response and it sounds very interesting to me. In essence, you would wait for her H1 to be approved, then transfer your H1 as long as your new employer can get and her H4 (until sep 30th).
What if her H1 is not approved until Aug? Is there a point in filing for H4 extension up to Sep 30th in Aug? What are the consequences of that not getting approved before sep 30th? In that case waiting until Oct 1st seems to be the better option.
I will talk to a lawyer and let you know what kind of response I will get.

I can see potential, but the shot doesn't do much for me. What does interest me is the interplay of the branch, stump, and light on top of the stump. Can't tell if there's anything there, but might be worth exploring. Other angles might make the overall stump shot more interesting. Hard to say.

This is a contract position to work in canada.This is normally through couple of vendors.
My employer is a small consulting company,which don't have own projects.So they pay only when I get project with other consultancies companies and bill through them.
You get work visa in canada then you need to be paid in canada..Work visa in canada has nothing to do with that of US status.
If you are getting paid in usa ( it seems like) and planning on working in canada on visitor visa its not legal. This might be the reason.
Your status in US has nothing to do with Working/Visiting/studying in Canada.
If you have used AP you "Probably" not on H1 any more.. there are some contradicting statements of IV members on this before. But I have seen USCIS sending a notice for one of my friend where in which he was advised to use AP ( as he is considered being on AOS eventhough he has H1) in future.

Hello There,
The division that I work for in my company is being acquired by a company B. Not the entire company that I work for, just the one division.(including set of products)
I have applied for my GC in Jun 07( ironically 06/08/2007), labor & i-140 are approved, waiting for dates to be current.
In this scenario:
a. Do I have to go through the entire GC process again with new company?
b. Do I have to refile 140 ( labor?) I know H1-b will have to be refiled and they are aware of it.
c. is there anything that must be added to the 'closure' document as part of the deal, that will help GC transfer smooth( deal is not closed yet, so such clauses can be included still)
d. Should I stay with my current employer?
Please all your suggestions are welcome.
Best Regards,
Leo07

Hi,
I am going to get married next week.
I am a H-1b visa holder and I have applied for green card. I am waiting to get approval of I-140.
I want to file the H-4 visa for my wife and I have couple questions :
1) How difficult is to apply for H-4 ? Do I need a lawyer for that ?
2) How will my new status effect my green card application ? Do I need to apply again for I-140 ?
Thank you for your help.
Andrea
1. First time it is always good to approach thru an immigration attorney.
2.No you don't have to.

I heaard you can work for multiple employers on multiple h1b's part time but one job must always be fulltime.

Hello friends,
wanted to see the timeline of EAD renewals currently..I have a EAD renewal receipt notice date of June 18th......was wondering how many days is TX taking to approve the notice....
Did aanyone around June 15 -June 20th get any approval yet?
My wife's EAD renewal receipt notice date is June 19th - close to yours. Also at TX.
Lets keep each other informed on any developments.
As per USCIS website, the processing time at TX service center is 3 months for EAD.
I hope its sooner!

Big cos generally file a new Labor and are hesitant to hire if someone is beyonnd 6 yrs period. Even if you convince them that your old PD can be transferred, they are not convinced....(or do not know much about the process).

I asked the same question yesterday at POE Boston.
He said I have to renew the AP before it expires. The Parole stamp is valid until an year from yesterday.
So when do you need to renew? Before June 17, 2009 ( your parole stamp validity) Or before the expiration of your original AP document?
Thanks a lot

WOW! they'll accept applications without medical examinations. Wish I had known that before sending my second app. :( Seems like USCIS is more forgiving this time around - you think the flowers had something to do with it?;)
Hope they treat my G-325 oversight the same way and issue an RFE instead of outright rejecting the application. (Fingers crossed)

At last my labor is approved and I was to planning to file my 140 under PP. How ever, I am reconsidering the thought as my wife is on H4 and she is being hired on a H1B from Oct1st. If my 140 is filed under PP and approved, her H1 is approved by June/July Can I transfer my H1 to another company to port my PD? What happens to my wife's H4? I am under the impression that she needs to file an extension as well along with me. This will have her H4 approved after H1 and she will need to re validate her H1 status by going out of the country.
Is it possible that my new employer request my H1 transfer and we chose not to request my wife's extension along with mine if she has 2+ years left from the extension we received based on my previous extension? If we have to file for her extension when I transfer (which I think) PP is of no use as Oct 1st 07 is 6+ months away.
Thanks

Indeed. 140s are getting a lot of RFEs nowadays and are once again taking nearly a year. It is a brave soul that will avail themselves of the AC21 180 portability provision without an approved 140 petition.
The main points are the following, if you get an RFE and it has anything to do with your employer eg. ability to pay etc, can you count on them to send in that paperwork. If your employer withdraws the 140 application then you are left without a plank to stand on for your 485 as well.
Basically you are on very thin ice if you invoke AC21 absent an approved 140. If you are contemplating such a move, you should atleast consider doing it on a H1b visa as back up.
These are my views, please consult an attorney.
