I had the same experience. However, my POE was Miami. No questions asked. My spouse and I just waited (with our USC daughter) in secondary inspection till they called my name and handed over our papers to me.
Thanks for your response

Can I interfile even if PD is unavailable?
No. At the time of interfiling, the priority date should be current.

Hello,
I have a question regarding voluntary work and the legalities when you are on a H4 spouse visa.
A Private company is ready to sponsor a candidate who is currently on H4 visa (spouse visa) for the H1-B visa in April.
But since the H1-B visa will only be given in Oct, can the H4 person work with that Pvt. Company from April to Oct voluntarily without any form of pay in cash or kind till the candidate gets the H1-B in Oct and then continue with that company?
Thanks & Regards,
Anand

In some of the threads in this and other forums there was some concern expressed about non-citizen's right to hire a lobbyist or petition congress. Here is the text of the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights:
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances
The term 'people' or 'person' in the constitution refers to inhabitants and not citizens.
Second, your members already spend a great deal on attorneys to help them with immigration issues. Our hope is that by spending a little bit on a lobbyist to get the laws fixed, we can save a lot on attorney’s fees.
Here is a link for Bill of Rights which precede any other law: http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/funddocs/billeng.htm
If a law is in violation of first ten amendments that are together called as Bill of Rights then that law is unconstitutional.
It is the right of all to petition congress and tell the lawmakers about their grievances.

In addition to that, there is a 90% chance that there will be an inquiry from USCIS when change of status petition (B1/B2 to H1) is filed, mostly asking the routine questions and the query would have to be replied by a good attorney in a proper manner.
That would cost your friend here some money as replying the USCIS inquiries is pretty routine but its not free and lawyers would charge you $$ for that. If you are doing this thru a small company, the company might charge you / your friend here for reply to the USCIS query. It would be a minimum of $1000 to respond to such inquiries by an average attorney.
Its better to go to India, get a fresh H1 approval (I-797) for yourself, get the visa stamp of H1 on your passport in India and then come here. You wont be able to start working until Oct 1 anyways.
Also, please dont open 2 threads for the same question. I am going to delete the other thread.

I was a student on f1 and had applied and used my OPT period. The OPT card has A#. I am applying I-485 with I-140 pending and have I-140 reciept
Should I use the OPT A# everywhere on the application?
I do not have any other documentation related to my OPT except the expired OPT/EAD card. IS this suffiecnt documentation?
There is question on the I-765 which ask IF i had applied for EAD before. WOuld the answer to this be yes I have used OPT before? If yes what is the location of the USCIS office where I applied. I have no clue about this

I have my first GC interview next month. I had a DUI few years back that I forgot to mention in the 485 app as I thought this was a traffic related offense. I want to know what are my options now? My lawyer suggests I file for some kind of waiver and suggests I take an attorney with me to the interview. She also asked me to get court certified copies of the conviction and that I completed all the required tasks assigned by the court.
Is this going to affect my GC in anyway? I need some guidance here.

I have applied EAD renewal to AZ lock box. It was delivered on Mar 29. I have not got any receipt so far. Also check is not cashed.
Now it is 30 days and I should be able to call USCIS.
I have two questions:
1. Mail was sent with delivery confirmation, which confirms delivery on Mar 29. What if the package is lost there? Could I applying again? How USCIS treats two applications?
2. I have not received any receipt, except I have delivery slip from Post Office. In counting 90 days, is it taken based on receipt or based on Post Office slip?
Thanks a lot.

RareRFEon485,
No need to worry if your employer is consulting company. If so, then in reply to USICS mention that you are employed by employer, but works/worked on different client sites for them which are in different states.
Keep all your previous LCA ready or better attach copies of all with your reply. Not a big deal.
I think its not a difficult RFE to respond. Consult your attorney for formal reply.

Hello,
I currently hold H1b visa (cap quota), i have an offer from a non profit organization and they are willing to sponsor for my H1b (non cap as this is from a non profit org). I'd like to know will there be any problem if in future i plan to move to a company that will sponsor h1b (cap). How difficult is to transfer from non cap h1 to cap h1?
I read online that if i plan to move from a non-cap h1 to cap h1 in future i have to apply in April under the general quota and wait until Oct to start work again. though i can work until the petition is pending.
I'd really appreciate any advise...
Thanks
Raj
It's good question and I'm also curious to know the answer from experienced immigration attorneys in this forum.
Thanks in advance.

I agree-If USCIS wanted to reject atleast we would have heard some cases by now.
Even if they have done so after July 2 we will hear soon within a week from now on atleast.
If it have happened we still will have time to refile till Aug 17.
So hopefull there shouldnt be any problem.cross the fingers so we can be safe.
we dont have the medical paper or the original I140 to refile.We will wait and see.

Dude. Filling up forms is not a one time job and not 100% accurate the first time. U will make changes right???
Fill up the data. Take the print. Scan the print. Thats it.

I am working for a Fortune 500 company on H1 visa. I am switching to a startup and will now be using my EAD( GC status: I-485 with more than 180 days). I have the following questions.
1. Can I join as an individual contractor by myself directly with the company without going thru a 3rd party vendor?
2. I am offered a temporary contract position at an hourly rate every 15 days without deducting any taxes. I will have to pay my taxes at the end of the year by myself using the form sent by the employer. Does anyone have any such experience?
3. What formalities do I need to complete with the USCIS regarding this change in my status? Will it affect my green card process in any way?
I will really appreciate your help.
Thanks for the support.
