1. Is it mandatory for USCIS to send the NOID/RFE for employer revoked I-140? (if the candidate is invoked AC21)
2. Can we retain the I-140 after submission of new employer's offer letter and pay stub?
3. If previous employer revokes I-140, when will the USCIS send NOID/RFE?
4. When will the employee know about the revocation in general (how many days)?
5. If one re-joins the previous employer after two months, can the employer cancel the revocation of I-140 or re-validate the I-140?
I would really appreciate for your valuable suggetions and answers.
Regards and thanks for your help

[.....Before your H-1 gets denied and before you move to EAD, it is important to change her status to F1, you can do this as long as her H-4 I-94 has not expired. You will need your latest Paystubs and H-1 approval to do this. ...]
My H1B visa may be getting expired Sep4th....but her old H4 approval is valid until 2011.
Is she safe even my visa (H1B) expired on 4th Sept.
If I apply F1 (Student Visa) now...it will take another 45 days to get F1 approval from INS.
So....what happens to her status? Is she valid to stay until she gets F1 approval notice?
~Thanks in advance

jcrajput.. I have had my renewal stamping done last month in India and am purely stating from personal experience. I was asked for to show 6 months of paystub by the officer. Luckily I had them on me so I could show it.
You can take the minimum but travelling with the minimum puts your family at a risk when you go for the interview. No lawyer or any other member at IV can help you there.It Doesnt hurt to be proactive and prepared in the right way. In this time of recession, more documentation has been asked then ever. For my earlier stamping no documents were required, but this time W2's and paystubs were asked.
You may even want to ask Mr 1000 watt when he last got his stamping done and go by whatever he recommends.
Can you tell us if you renewed your H1B with the one who filed your previous H1B or you filed with a new employer this time?

I agree with the monetary clout aspect of the argument and would participate in such an effort. I also feel we have to initiate high visibility events on the lines of the DC event. Two suggestions I would like to float,
(1) Can state chapter memberships be made paid for with annual memberships. There are efforts to channelize information through the state chapters (and rightly so) - there could be others such benefits that can be made available in due course.
(2) Can we extend/magnify the entrepreneural theme of IV (beyond a discussion thread) by having a substantial program dedicated to the entrepreneurship aspirations of a good number of IV members - have a business plan competition amongst members, garner support of successful immigrant entrepreneurs as part of the program, have webinars to educate legal aspects and barriers faced (due to our limbo). In essence, make visible the entrepreneural potential locked. Also, it might help transform our image from job takers to job creators. We can partner with other entrepreneural support organizations to fund the program. If we can execute a truly great Business Plan competition and attract venture capital funds we can have certain percentage of venture funding go to IV. If IV members and core think that this suggestion has some merit, I can help evaluate/extend/shape the idea with other like minded individuals.

What impact does premium processing have on your application, if your file is stuck in Dallas BEC for over 3 1/2 years? Does this mean the application will be processed faster now?! Or is this only for new applicants?:(
-----
140 premium has nothing to do with BEC labor processing. Labor processing will not speed up because of this. THis is a very calcualted move by USCIS, they are trying to speed up processing of EB3 140, but it helps noone, not Indians, Chinese or even Rest of the world.
In fact this migh even hurt us a little more if they stop concurrent processing.

My first advice would be to bump up the ISO for indoor shots, so the shutter speed will be faster and you will be able to avoid blurred movement. In full auto mode, cameras may not increase the ISO above some unreasonably low number, like 400. Try going to a mode that lets you pick the ISO (program?) and set it to 1600 (with a DSLR the noise will be much less than 1600 ISO film grain, so don't be afraid to experiment).
Not knowing about the automatic metering systems on modern cameras, I'm not able to analyze what might be throwing off the meter to cause it to underexpose, so I'll leave that up to our resident DSLR gurus. ;)

Since your H4 COS is not approved yet, you are not YET in H4 status.
So you need to prove your current status based on pending H4 petition as well as your H1 paystubs. That is why you need to submit the pay stubs.
Your COS may get rejected (even the H4 COS), and in that case you need to travel outside get an H1 stamp and come back.
This is a typical situation where you should file for Premium Processing (of H1 COS).
Thank you for the quick response. I see that you are in Center City Philly. My prospective employer is also located in the same area and he does not have an immigration attorney, may be I can retain your services.
I understand the 'Yes' to the first question.
For the second - I do not have the most recent paystubs as I have not been employed for the past 2 months. In addition, I cannot provide paystubs for any period in 2009, that I was employed as I was not paid by my employer.
The last paystubs I have are for Sep 2008. I also have W2 for 2006, 2007 and 2008 (though 2008 one is deficient for 3 months).
Is it possible that I do not submit my paystubs and W2 and only submit my earlier H1 approval notice, valid I-94, and Pending H4 COS Receipt Notice? With this documentation, can we expect an H1 approval and in the worst case expect COS denial?
I am thinking, if H1 gets approved, I will travel abroad and obtain a new I-94 at POE.
Please recommend a safe approach. The new employer wants me to begin in 3 weeks, and I am wondering what is the best approach.

I want to be more specific. I have a full time job. I'd like to setup a business LLC to get some contract works. For tax benefit, I can deduct some business cost with it.
On H1 you can setup business, invest in , take profits ,but you should not be on payroll ( in otherwords you cannot be an employee of your own company based on H1 status ).
Once you get your EAD ( IV's current indirect-primary objective ) , you can do work of your company and do those tax benifit tacktics .

Hello!
I was trying to use the Free Conference Call service to ask a question to the lawyer but was informed that the access code 388991 is incorrect. Has it been changed? If so, can someone provide the new code.
Thank you very much for providing this invaluable service to the entire community.

Hello fellow IV members,
I am hoping to port to a new job using AC21. I contacted my attorney with various questions about the process, but she told me that she can not respond to my questions because she represents me as well as the current company I work for. For those of you who are looking to port or have already done so, did you face a similar situation - where your attorney could not advise and assist you through the process of porting? How did you resolve this situation? Did you have to find another attorney to help you with porting to a new job?
Thanks for your help.
This holds true for 95% of the attorneys. They will give you a "conflict of interest" answer if you try to Invoke AC21

Gurus, can you please let me know your opinion on the below item? thanks a lot.
I am thinking about having our parents visit us next year. I am planning to have them here for about 185 days - more than the usual 180 days. Do you think there would be any kind of problem with getting the I-94 at the port of entry if we have the tickets booked? Did any do this?

What has the Name Check initiation got to do with the submission of finger prints...Nothing.
I bet your notice date is about 2 weeks before your Name Check initiation (Sept 18, 2007).
Would believe the dates the IIO gave you.
