Thanks
Can I call them and ask about it ? This is scary. My friends who applied after me got it and I'm moving in 2 weeks.
appreciate any suggestions.

My new empolyer has filed h1b transfer for me using premium processing. The package was delivered to USCIS last Monday. Because my employer's email address is too long, the last 2 letters of the email address "om" (should be ".com") are missing in the printout. I found this after the package was sent out. We have not heard anything till today (7 calender days after the last Monday). Is this normal?

The whole problem is where should I send my AP application to ?? :confused:
It depends on the state you live in. Please go through the AP filing instructions. There it is clearly mentioned.
Download "Download Instructions for completing Form I-131" at the below link and you can find the information in page 7.

Below is a draft statement i prepared and appreciate if you can review it and suggest any changes reqd if this is not convincing.
I travelled to Tijuana, Mexico from San Diego. I entered the US Port of Entry at San Ysidro. My previous I-94 white entry card had been taken and I requested a new I-94 but since I already had a valid I-94 on my H-1B approval notice, the office would not issue a new I-94 white entry card.
I have a copy of my previous I-94 entry card from <prev_entry_date>
Few questions that may arise based on above statement:
1. Why was your I94 from H1B notice still with you and not submiited at POE when you left the country?
-Since i travelled by land the US POE is in Tijuana and so i submitted my expired I94 to them and also the valid I94 from H1B notice and asked for new white I94 card. Unfortunately the officer just stapled the valid H1B I94 to passport and told i am good to go. There is no stamp on it either and hence i am concerned.
Any other possible questions you can think of that needs to be addressed in my statement?

Hey Bro, as far as I know they only test for HIV, Siphilis,TB and Gonorrhea. I am loking at the copy of my medicals right now and I don't see Herpes mentioned anywhere. So I dont think the blood test looks for that. So don't jump the gun and tell the surgeon that you have it. My surgeon didn't even do a genital exam only checked my groin for lymph nodes. SO as far I can see you will be OK. Just take it easy and go for the test. ;)
Will the doctor share the results of the Tests with us ?Can we assume if we get the sealed envelope ,every thing is fine ?

incorrect thought.
I-9 is a Employment Eligibility Verification form that stays with the Employer.
She is considered to be on an AOS status. nothing to be done.
This is my understanding.
when someone is on H1 status, employer is bound to pay him/her unless they have explicitly terminated the employment by a termination letter/H1 cancellation/Change of status/resignation letter from the employee.
How will USCIS know that the beneficiary has switched out of H1 status ?

My company didn't cancel my H1 as they wanted to be in India for a year and return to US. I am still working for the same company that got me the H1.
I also have a family - Wife (H4), Son (4yrs - H4), Daughter (2yrs - US Citizen) - should i take them with me or should i first go there, get a couple of pay stubs and then ask them to join me.
Thanks.

GC is for the future job and hence if your prospective employer will be able to proceed with your GC in your absence till its very end then you should be fine and still be able to come into US as a GC holder when GC is offered to you. However in this case you can't do Adjustment of status since you willn't be staying inside US and hence have to opt for Consular processing if you haven't opted for Consular processing.

I do not understand the problem here! First you questioned the source and then you are saying that i am suspecting the content. If i suspect the content i won't post it here at any cost.This forum is to educate the folks not to fall prey to their employer(s)/lawyer(s) promises.
if you are open for discussion we can start with the requirements for PERM form DOL and then move on with requirements for i140 with USCIS, will be a good discussion for everybody!
There's thousands of threads that talk about porting. I don't think there's any need to re-iterate those topics again.
Specially from the crappy source you had provided.

Just on the lighter note I wonder if even USCIS ignores that mistake and give you and your co-worker's wife a GC.

Let me add one more wrinkle:
Do you guys think I would lose my right to use EAD if I move to another employer by transferring my H1B? (I still have 2 years on it).
Please research the forumn for answer to your question...has been discussed a lot of times before...
To answer in short...You will loose your right to use EAD if your I40 is still pending and your employer decides to revoke it...

So is it conditional GC??
Employment based GC is based on intent to work for sponsoring employer or similar profession. For most of us, who are retrogressed, we would have worked with sponsoring employer already for 4 to 5 years. the main issue here is whether sufficient intent existed at the time of filing 140 and 485. after having been in 485 filed status for long, it is natural for intent to change.
so, i do not see why full time MBA with 485 pending is an issue. the laws are quite unclear, for sure.

I just renewed my H1B visa for another 3 years, and I also have an approved advance parole document. If I leave the US before my H1B visa is stamped in my passport and re-enter the country using my AP, do I lose my H1B status? (that's what my attorney says)
How about my the H4 of my wife? She is already using EAD, so if we re-enter the country should she use the AP document or the H4 visa?
This is way too confusing...

Please see some answers I am guessing:
1. Do I Need an airport transit visa since iam travelling visa France ?
No idea. Do not think so.
2. How long will it take to get my fresh passport if I applied over the counter on emergency system (Tatkaal) If you mail it it takes a week, over the counter should be much-much faster - same dayThey do it same day for Visa. I believe that they should do it for new passport too. Indian consulate has good information on their website.
3. Can I travel with an expired H4 visa ? you can always go back to India - travel to India is fine since you are a citizen of India (guessing). Comming back you need a visa, and your expired visa wont do. you need a valid H4 visa that is stamped in your passsport, by US Consulate. You have to get an approved I-539 here before you leave for India. Then on your visit to India, you can schedule an appointment at the US consulate to get the Visa (Appointment has to be scheduled way in advance and nowadays there are other requirements like mailing the papers in advance- please check on website)
Please check with a lawyer or consult lawyers website for other requirements.
My opinion, please do not rely on this information

2. How long will it take to get my fresh passport if I applied over the counter on emergency system (Tatkaal) [.
3. Can I travel with an expired H4 visa ?
Please Help ???

Thanks everyone for the feedbacks. My EB2 I40 has not been approved, as it was filed only a month back.
From your responses it seems like sticking with EB-3 is better right?
When I checked with my lawyer (current company) they mentioned that, along with EB-2 I40 application, they have put a request to adjudicate the pending AOS based on the earliest priority date (EB2). They are also planning to do the same after, EB2 I-140 gets approved. I didn't expect them to do this along with I-140 filing. Had they waited till I-140 approval, they could have made a better decision to stick with EB3 or put a request to adjudicate AOS based on EB2 depending upon the state of the priority dates at that time :(
I am planning to check with the lawyer, if they can withdraw the EB2 I-140.

If notice of action for I-485 does not have a priority date written on it, can I still file WOM since I've had an interview 2 years ago without result? How did your wom filing go?
thanks!
thanks!
