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.

The only impact will be that you will lose your earlier PD (if 140 gets approved).......Also, it could cause you issues with H1 extensions if you are in 6th year of your H1 and are re-starting the GC process....Note that your LC/I-140 must be filed or should be pending for 365 days or your I-140 must be approved in order to get H1 extensions beyond the 6 year term....

Here's my situation in briefest form. I'm engaged to a woman in the Philippines. She worked as a domestic helper in Kuwait from about 2005 to 2007, a period of about 2.5 years total.
I understand that as we move forward on our K1 application (I'm an American just be clear) she'll be required to submit police reports for anyplace she has lived for more than 6 months. She doesn't have such an item from Kuwait, and it seems nearly impossible to obtain such a report. The websites all say that this document is only given to 'current residents'.
How can we obtain such document, and what if we can't? It seems unfathomable that the US Gov would request a possibly unobtainable document and then permanently deny our chance to live in the US together, if we are absolutely unable to obtain this document?
Does anyone have any advice, or can tell me what happens in a situation such as this?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, as long is there is a 140 or 485 pending some where some place or a Labor pending for more than a year, you are eligible for h1 extension beyond 6 years.
My first 2 extensions after 6 years were based on a labor from previous company.

The upside-down "V" shaped branches in the upper left corner are distracting, but could probably be cloned out with a bit of work in PS. The bright leaves in the upper right corner are also distracting, but a bit of burning in could probably make them stand out less. The water is blown out down at the bottom, but that's easy to excuse if you're using a P&S where you don't have much control over the exposure - or even a way to reliably gauge it until the image is on your computer monitor. Overall, the image has potential, and it shouldn't be too hard to fix most of the little issues I see with a bit of time in Photoshop. :)

The H-2B visa program is vital to America�s small businesses and thus to America�s economic recovery. The H-2B program is capped at 66,000 visas per year. This is the same arbitrary number set by Congress in 1990. The visa allotment is split equally between the winter and summer seasons. Small business owners rely on the H-2B program because it is the only way they can legally hire workers for temporary and seasonal positions when they cannot find Americans to hire.
Small and seasonal businesses hire American workers and they do hire every qualified
American who applies for a seasonal or temporary short-term position. Nevertheless, even in this economy, positions remain unfilled, leaving these businesses desperately in need of workers. This is not surprising since these jobs typically involve low-skilled and semi-skilled labor, involve work at remote locations, and are only short-term in duration.
Unlike the hiring of American workers, small business owners must go through a tough application process to hire foreign workers through the H-2B program. Employers must prove to the U.S. Department of Labor that there are no available U.S. workers to fill vacant short-term positions. H-2B workers go home at the end of the season. They cannot, and do not, stay in the U.S. permanently through this program.
Without access to more temporary H-2B workers, many small businesses will be extremely short-staffed this year and could be forced to close. For small businesses, relief must come now so that America�s employers can get the seasonal temporary workers they need to help in America�s economic recovery.
RELIEF NEEDED:
� An H-2B visa returning worker extension will go a long way in helping small and
seasonal businesses survive in the short term. The extension would provide
emergency relief by exempting from the cap H-2B returning workers who already
have successfully participated in the program in one of the previous 3 years.
� Without Congressional relief soon, many U.S. businesses will be forced to limit their
services or close their doors permanently rather than be a part of the economic
recovery.
CURRENT LEGISLATION:
� H-2B relief has been introduced in the House by Rep. Stupak (D-MI), and in the
Senate by Sen. Mikulski (D-MD), as the Save Our Small and Seasonal Businesses
Act of 2009 (H.R. 1136/S. 388).

Hello
I came to us on h4 visa . after comming here i joined a university and applied for change of status to f1 and it is approved. I am planning a trip to india. do i need to go to indian consulate for f1 visa? if i have to go wat r the chances of rejecting f1 visa? if my f1 visa gets rejected can i come back on h4 visa? is my h4 visa valid? or do i need to apply for h4 visa again? and if i apply wat r the chances of approval ? please help me i am in a tough situation. please i need ur advise. thank u :)
Since your spouse is in US on H1, do you know if she/he filed for his I-140/I-485. If so, there are chances that your F-1 visa can be rejected on the grounds of "potential immigrant" even though your I-485 is not filed. F-1 can be rejected because your spouse has shown immigrant intent which means you could be a potential immigrant as well.
Otherwise, if you have all the documents (educational background from accredited university, bank statements, valid I-20), you should get your F-1 visa without any issues. If for some reason its denied, then you can use your current valid H4 visa to re-enter US on H4. In that case, you will again roll back to H4 status upon re-entry.

My lawyer mailed my concurrent case (140/485/AP/EAD) on 03/23/07 thru DHL. I am in TX. I also included my Personal check of $1000 for 140 PP.
1) When should I hear something about my case from USCIS?
2) which service center will be processing my case?
3) Will I hear about something directly from USCIS or its only the lawyer who will me main contact?
Will appreciate your comments.
Thanks

Agree with the post above.. Lots of H1Bs are filed by unscrupulous employers who bring a person on H1B and don't pay them till they get a contract / client to bill the H1B to..
USCIS needs to investigate this.. Time to write to USCIS to be more vigilant in monitoring these firms to ensure real people with real jobs out there can get the H1Bs

A key figure (http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=hastert&btnG=Search+News) in the latest political drama was a key figure in immigration debate (http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=hastert+immigration&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&btnG=Search+Archives). I wish he makes way and hopefully some moderate does something for the immigrant community.
Just curious. Do you know of any reason why he might make way for someone else?

I happened to read the following on a different thread on IV
"for cases that has to be filed by overnight courier that is by the USPS Express Mail the center will only pick up mails from the U.S Postal Service once a day and in the morning. Therefore any mail that is not picked up in the morning will be picked only the following day and is given a next day receipt date."
Does it mean that any packages that were sent out yesterday(Thursday) will be delivered today(Friday), but USCIS will only pick it up on Monday morning and then assign Monday as the receipt date? Anyone with some knowledge on this, please clarify.

No. But the employer can file for 1 Year extension if there was a Labour or PERM was filed and it's pending. If I140 is approved and waiting for I485, employer can file for 3 year extension.

Sure can! See the tracker. There is at least one person who filed in Texas and has his/her EAD approval date before the Finger Printing date
I also had got my EAD way before my 1st FP - but that was in 2005
Referring to your signature, did you file your spouse 485 after you got green card?

Hi,
I am planning to file my I-485 and for that I got my Birth Certificate from India and have a question related to it. The name provided for my Passport and all other documents is "Rajendra Upadhya Kumbhasi" but in my Birth Certificate they have included my father's name along with my name i.e. my Birth Certificate has "Rajendra Murlidhar Upadhya Kumbhasi". I would like to know if this could be a issue and if so will a affidavit help me resolve this issue.
Please let me know.
Regards,
Raj

She will get her EAD even if your priority date retrogresses in the next visa bulletin.
As far as I know, you don't neccessarily need to file EAD with your I-485. Once your I-485 is pending, you can file EAD anytime after that(irrespective of PD movement) but its always better to file them together.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
