I could not understand what you mean by "NON-RIR labors were being processed first compared to the RIR ones. "
From AILA and immigration-law.com:
"AILA has reported that the BECs are still processing April 2001 traditional cases for the traditional case track and it is not expected to move ahead for sometime due to the huge number of 245(i) cases which were filed in April 2001."
I think we will not see a lot for Traditional Cases for a looong time.
My NON-RIR - PD - 04/2002 is also stuck in BEC.
Last i read was that the NON-RIR labors were being processed first compared to the RIR ones. So think twice before u take any decision.

Hi,
I would have some questions concerning my case (didn't really find anything related).
- Up until December I was in the States under a F-1 visa.
- During December my H-1B was approved for my job which starts in February.
- I left the States at the end of December and reentered in February 2010 under the H-1B.
- I will start work in February and applied for a Social Security Number yesterday.
Now I'm not sure how to file taxes for 2009.
Due to the sign-up Bonus which I got for my new job I received a W-2 form which has 2009 written on it. 25% of my Bonus was withheld. Since I was a student in 2009 I'm not sure whether that is too much or the normal amount. Any ideas?
Are there any special forms I have to fill out due to this Bonus? Moreover: Is the Software I use for making my taxes independent of my Visa status? Do I have to indicate somehow that I was an F-1 last year and am now an H-1B. I mean I didn't even have a SSN last year.
I'm really lost here :(. Any help is appreciated.

labor is indeed more than 1 year old. Are you completely sure about this rule since having an approved 140 gives you a 3 year extemsion
Yes, unfortunately you are not eligible for I140 premium processing as you can extend your H1 beyond 6 yrs based on labor > 1yr old.
USCIS opened this premium processing for a VERY narrow group of people: "who can not extend H1 visa beyond 6 yrs by any other means, who are currently on H1 status". However, due to this very narrow inclusion criteria, they have received a very few premium processing requests (as most people either have older labor or are in different status by now). And they LOVE money, so they will soon come up with broader premium processing, (probably in october or so when new fiscal year starts when they usually go in "hibernation")
Hope it helps.

I don't know about legal risks but health-wise that sounds quite risky.
I can't believe to what extent some people will go to earn money!
Boss, don't make yourself a guinea pig. No amount of money is worth it.

Thanks Sac-r-ten for your reply.
If the labor and advt process is really only 6-8 months, then I might get lucky.

The H-2B program is critically important for many businesses that have difficulty finding U.S. workers to fill temporary jobs. This is particularly true in seasonal industries. Comments from H-2B employers attest to the need for foreign workers in physically demanding seasonal jobs, often in remote locations, that many U.S. workers will not take.
The H-2B nonimmigrant visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137785.html) program permits employers to hire foreign workers to come to the U.S. and perform temporary nonagricultural work, which may be one-time, seasonal, peak load or intermittent and there are no qualified and willing U.S. workers available for the job. Note that this visa is not available for "temporary" agencies or other work placement agencies.
In order to learn more about employers� perceptions of the H-2B program, ImmigrationWorks USA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce conducted a survey: five short questions distributed among H-2B employers in July and August 2010. The survey asked how many H-2B workers the company had hired in the last three years and what types of jobs those workers held. It included two open-ended questions about the benefits of using the program and asked what if any problems employers had experienced.
Another open-ended question asked what employers would do if they were not able to hire H-2B workers. Participation was voluntary, and results could be submitted via email, fax or the internet. A total of 367 employers responded. The majority of H-2B employers who responded to the survey noted that temporary foreign workers are reliable and hard-working. Many also praised these workers� productivity: a benefit that offsets the cost of bringing them into the United States. Respondents appreciated that H-2B workers were willing to work seasonal jobs and then return home when the season ended.
Important benefit of the program is that it offers companies a way to hire foreign workers when U.S. labor markets tighten. The program increases labor market flexibility by allowing businesses to bring in foreign workers when U.S. workers move up to better, higher-paying jobs during economic expansions.

Port of entry doesn't matter. You can leave from JFK and come back through California. It totally depends on your airlines and the route you choose. I have done it many times.
Not sure about 2months left on your visa thing. I don't have any comment on that.

My current reporting structure with my employer is:
Client -> Prime Vendor -> Consultant X -> My employer
Another consultant is ready to transfer my visa and the reporting structure there is
Client -> Prime Vendor -> My employer
A prime vendor (not the same client) is also ready to transfer my visa
Client -> My employer
I am planning to transfer it to either (or both) of the above two companies. Will there be a problem in those two companies filing for a tranfer at (approx) the same time?
Is there a way I can ask an attorney directly (I am willing to pay for that service)
It is not an issue. You can hold/apply for any number of H1s at the same time.

Hi Gurus,
I am in company A on H1B and doing H1B transfer to Company B.
Company B is saying that I can join the same day on which the H1B transfer packet is received by USCIS.
if the docs are delivered on SEP 01 2009 can I join on the same day, or I should join from SEP 02 2009
With the current trend and chances of improper filing, I would not recommend you to join based on delivery receipt. Instead, you can join after you receive the receipt notice or approval. If I were you, I would choose the latter.

IMO: 7th Year extn can be filed if PERM is pending for more than 365 days or if I-140 is approved.
Friends;
I am posting this on behalf of my friend who is on H1 (6th year expiring in Dec, 2011). His labor is yet to be filed and in this connection we have a question. Process has been initiated by employer and tentatively labor will be filed in June, 2011. Hoping that he will be done with labor or I-140 by November would he be eligible for 7th year H1 extension?
Thanks
Venu

Hello All,
I e-filed my AP on August 5th 2010 and sent all my papers to NSC. I received a notice they they received my application with the same date. My last AP expired on 30 July 2010.
I have a wedding coming up in family that I want/need to attend. Is it possible for me to use this reason to expedite my AP? Also has anyone been in similar situations? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi California members,
There is an IV action item to fight recent practice of USCIS in denying I485 applications in some AC21 cases. For more info, please visit:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22182
It’s a serious issue which can affect many of us, please act now and send letters (letter formats and everything else is ready in the thread quoted above). It will only take a few minutes of your time.
State chapter leader,
Please try to bring attention of your state members to this IV core approved effort.
Thank you.
