It is not illegal. Some companies apply for extensions a bit late and in the mean time, the VISA expires. It is OK. At the most he/she will not be able to drive as the drivers license is linked to the VISA expiry.
Fine then of course.

H1 processing for 2nd time : First 6 yrs on H1 over!
My 6 yrs of stay on H1 gets over in November 2007. I have not applied for GC. I know that I need to stay outside the US for a period of 1 year before starting a new H1. I will be going back to my country in November.
Can I find a company which will apply for H1 for me in April 2008 and enter US in Nov.2008 (after I complete 1 year stay outside the US)?
Am I eligible to apply immediately in April 2008? Or do I need to complete 1 yr of stay outside the US before even applying for a fresh H1?
When will I be able to enter the US : after Nov.2008 or Oct.2009.
Any inputs in this regard will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

due to changes in procedures, a lot of the applications are going to the lock box facilities, this is slowing things down (it was actually supposed to make things go faster but we all know USCIS pretty well by now)
I have heard a lot of cases where it's taking about a month to get the receipt.

Hello,
I wonder if there is anybody who could help me with my questions about the diversity visa in US.
I was among the randomly selected people for DV 2009. Currently I am in US with F-1 visa. I learned that I am eligible for Adjustment of Status. Do you think it is reasonable to process my files in US or should I go back to my country?
What kind of documents should I fill in? Also I need to pay the filing fees (for I-485 $930 for example). Are there any other costs? I also read that there is a medical examination report, how much could it cost to me?
So after reviewing everything what will be the best decision for me? I asked an attorney but he didn't have enough of experience to help me, and I can not afford one more attorney.
I will be thankful if somebody could enlighten me on these.
Thank you very much.

You should be good as long as the existing Visa is valid when you reenter. Even though the existing Visa stamping is tied to your previous employer, You do NOT have to go for Stamping just because you changed the employer and got the new H1. The IO at Port Of Entry might ask about your current employer and you should mention your new Employer and show the new H1B approval at at that time.
I hope this helps. Good Luck & Welcome Back!!!
Thanks.

I have my H1B stamped visa from company A,and is valid till September 2010.I came to India in August 2009 and planning to come back to US in the next month.
Meanwhile i have filed for a H1B tranfer to company B in April'2010 and it was approved in last week.
My question is can i come back to US on my stamped visa from Company A.Is that still valid even after my transfer was approved to Company B ?.
Do i have any problems at port of entry to us ?.
Or do i need to go for H1B stamping for Company B.
please tell me what are my options.any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone,
According to my immigration-lawyer, I have received a notice for interview. I filed under EB2 category and only my and my wife's I-485 is pending. I had friends who got their GC without the interview, but i got called of an interview, so I was wondering why i got called for an interview-any specific reasons that some of us get called for an interview?
Another questions is; i read some blogs and almost all the people who were called for an interview seem to get a list of documents from the INS to take along for the interview. My attorney didnot mention anything about the list, so do all interview notices come with the document list or is it normal to not have one?
Please any insight in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
There has been a lengthy discussion on the same topic few months back, use IV search. BTW, please fill in your profile - no profile often leads no response.

I'm on my OPT, basically student F1 visa.
The thing is the company where I work is ready to sponsor me. They only don't know which occupation to write for me in order to be eligible for H1B.
I'm working over there on administrative position and doing various accounting things.
Thanks

Write LSAT and go to Law School and become a lawyer and to start practicing you should get admitted to the bar. The bar requirements vary.
In some states like california , you can work under a attorney for 10 (if not ten say 'n') years and get addmitted to the bar.

I have an approved I-140 and my 3-year H1-B extension is currently being processed but not in premium and has not been approved yet.
I have decided to leave the job/country and want to know if there were any consequences of leaving without the approval (current I-94 has a July 2010 expiration date). I am still working and technically in status as it is in process but the approval could take a few more months. Should I push for premium? Any advice? I would hate to have any problems with getting future visas to the US, either tourist or getting back on an H1-B.
Many thanks!

Mostly they do not ask you 797 if you have valid stamping. You need to show new original 797 only if you have extended one, so that they will issue i-94 till end of your extension, otherwise your i94 will have expiry date (of stamping in passport ) as your end date of I-94.
Does that makes sense ?

hi,
i have a question whether to use EAD or H1B? Initiallly i re-entered into usa after finishing my first 6yr term of H1B in June 05 on H1b. Later changed employer. New employer filed my GC using existing labor (EB3) in 2006 and also filed for i-140 & i-485 in oct 2007. so the transferred h1b is expiring on 06/2009. my ead expired in Oct 2008. I am thinking of renewing EAD than H1b which i am planning to file in this month (Feb, 2009).
questions:
1. If i go back to India in Mar 09 - Can I come back using EAD (Once its approved and someone sends my EAD & AP to India) as i haven't used EAD?
2. my transfered H1b is expiring on Jun 09 and i don't want to go to Madras to stamp the transfered company's visa on my passport as i doubt to get it - the Consulate might ask me so many questions when its expiring in june why you want to go to usa for 3 or 4 months.
3. The best bet - do i need to wait for my renewal of EAD & AP and then leave?
Please let me know as my travel plans are dependent on this.
thanks and appreciate your prompt response

Below is a decsription of this amendment from AILA document which lists all the amendments that were discussed yesterday
http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22584
It confirms that the amendment #1231 applies to Y visa only. On the Senate discussion thread yesterday when this amedment was being discussed some body mentioned something along the lines that that Sen. Kennedy said he supported employer recruitment for all jobs and that really scared me ... I think Sen. Kennedy might have been referring to jobs that require the Y visa
This amendment does not mention anything on H1Bs. There was a lot of discussion on this point yesterday. I think we can breathe a litlle easy now.
The CIR does have other restrictions on H1B like $5000 more fees, restrictions for consulting companies & non-disaplacement clause but I don't think any GC type LABOR CERTIFICATION is required.
From the aila doc:
Durbin Amendment (#1231) to Remove DOL-Determined Labor Shortages as an Exception to Y Visa Recruitment Requirements
Senator Durbin (D-IL) introduced an amendment that eliminates DOL-determined labor shortages as an exception to employer recruitment requirements for Y visas. Senator Durbin argued that the amendment is an attempt to require that jobs be offered to Americans before they are offered to Y visa holders in the new worker program. Removing the provision in the underlying bill allowing the Secretary of Labor to declare labor shortages, he said, would achieve this, since all employers who use the Y visa program would always be required to offer jobs to Americans first. Senator Durbin cited the AFL-CIO as a strong supporter of his measure. Senator Grassley (R-IA), a co-sponsor of the amendment, also expressed his support for the amendment.
Senator Specter argued in response that this amendment is simply unnecessary, since American workers and their wages are already protected under the law. Senator Kennedy, however, expressed support for the amendment. He agreed with the general principle that a measure protecting American workers is good for the country. Ensuring that new Y visa workers don’t encroach upon American jobs or affect American wages, he said, is a step in that direction.
The amendment was agreed to by a vote of 71-22.
