You can only apply for extension 6 months before exipry.. so the earliest you can do is Mar 30th. Right now, USCIS is very keen on consulting cases, and RFE for client details is pretty much the norm. I got a similar RFE for which I responded, and nothing happened for more than a month. So I applied for premium processing, and they sent another RFE again. I am still waiting on the RFE, but I think it could be because my initial contract agreement (that my company probably sent in the response for RFE) had an end date of 2/28. It is now extended till June, but that is how my client works...
My advice,
1. try not to accept to be on bench... ask your employer to pay while on bench.
2. Apply for h1 extension well before your contract ends or do premium processing if the contract ends in less than 3 months.
3. Be prepared for an RFE. Make sure you can get client letters and such
hope you won't get into what I am experiencing for the last 11 months :(

The RFE was for biographic information of the passport (basically a photo identity matching the name). It appears that my lawyer may have missed sending separate copies of it for each application (485/765/131). Anyway I sent color copies of the passport pages as well as driver license. The status for the application changed to "Response to request for evidence received on 10/09/2007 and processing resumed".
As far as your FP notices, I have read that others have been able to get the notices after calling the Service Center customer service. You might want to consider that.

On behalf of all legal immigrants I want to congratulate President Obama for taking on Immigration Reform, as he promised during his campaign. As he embarks on this endeavor, we would like to urge the President to listen to the over 2/3 of Americans who favor immigration reform, and not to the small yet vociferous nativist anti-immigration groups that flood Congress with phone calls and faxes. over two thirds of 300 million Americans cannot be held hostage by a few hundred angry nativists.

I am wondering about this because my I-485 has been filed in Texax Service Center and the receipting date is still way behind. I live in Minnesota and I need to ask my lawyer why did they file my application in TSC instead of NSC. Is there a choice about which Service Center to file applications in? Is there a possible rejection because my application could have been filed in NSC but is filed in TSC now?
Thanks in advance....

Sir/Madam,
I was able to file for 485 during the summer of 07, have an EAD but never used. I got married later, and my spouse is currently on H4. I have to maintain the H1 to support the H4. I have a very good opportunity to move up in my job - Is there a way use my EAD and still support legal stay of my spouse?
Appreciate a response.
Thank you.

I took this really lousy picture that should have been discarded
as I couldn't get a good photo out of it. I thought I'd try something
different in Photoshop anyway, I need the practice...
Here's a scaled down original of a bird taking a bath:

and here's a watercolor like effect that was the result:

What do you say, is this convincing, and worth pursuing?

What happens if there is any future foreign travel planned and COS decision does not come in time. Will she have to wait to home country till decision is heard and then go for H4 stamping or she can anyways go for H4 stamping even if COS decision is pending?
TIA!

I have my H1 filed in 2008. Due to the market situation, I didn't go for H1 stamping and was never active on H1 so far. I entered US in March 2009 on H4. Now I got a project and want to go for the H4->H1 COS.
I would like to know the steps/process for H4 -> H1 COS.
I know my employer is the best person to answer this. But, the problem is whenever I ask any details, he always tries to abstract the info.
If there are sequence of steps, after which step one is authorized to work? I tried getting the info online, but couldn't . If any of you can give me a pointer or explain the process in detail, it would be very great and helpful.
My employer has applied for LCA. He says that he would initiate the COS process as soon as he gets the LCA. And my employer says that I can start working as soon as he files for COS and no need to wait for the approval. I want to make sure that I don't run into any legal issues. Once the employer has initiated the COS process, is there a way one can track the status and also to verify the status after the completion of the process.
Also, please let me know how much it would cost for normal and premium processing and also the time lines for the normal and premium processing.
Sorry for too many questions. But, please please do help!!!
Thanks a ton in advance!!

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it will begin accepting H-1B petitions (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) subject to the fiscal year (FY) 2011 cap on April 1, 2010. Cases will be considered accepted on the date that USCIS takes possession of a properly filed petition with the correct fee; not the date that the petition is postmarked.
The fiscal year cap (numerical limitation on H-1B petitions (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html)) for FY 2011 is 65,000. Additionally, the first 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of individuals who have earned a U.S. master�s degree or higher are exempt from the H-1B cap.
USCIS will monitor the number of petitions received and will notify the public of the date on which USCIS received the necessary number of petitions to meet the H-1B cap. If needed, USCIS will randomly select the number of petitions required to reach the numerical limit from the petitions received on the final receipt date. USCIS will reject cap-subject petitions that are not selected, as well as those received after the final receipt date.
We recommend employers to hurry up and get all the necessary documents in order to meet the April 1, 2010 deadline.
