Thanks for your reply "WeShallOvercome", The question which you answered is on top of my head from so many days, I asked some many people and they are not sure, Thanks your help
One more question is right now my wife is on H4, My I140 and 485 are in pending, if my wife got EAD she can use it right?
2) If my I140 denied and her EAD become Void, Is she permitted to stay in USA or She needs to go out of country and enter with h4 status?
Thanks
Ajay
I do know that you guys will be safe on your H1 and H4 status. I do not know for sure if she needs to go out of the country and re-enter on H4..I've heard something like that before though..

HOUSTON: A federal jury has found five people guilty of conspiring to obtain fraudulent work visas for nearly 90 Indian nationals in exchange for at
least $20,000 per visa, the US Attorney's Office said.
Mahendrakumar "Mack" Patel, 55, Rakesh Patel, 36, Alberto Pena, 38, Bernardo Pena, 38, and Marte Othon Villar Sr, 48, encouraged and induced the illegal immigration of Indian nationals in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars per visa, a statement from the US Attorney's Office said yesterday.
The jury found that Alberto and Bernardo Pena, twin brothers from Brownsville, along with co-defendants had encouraged and induced 87 individuals from Gujarat to unlawfully enter US on temporary H-2B visas, knowing that the Indian nationals did not intend to work for the company that was used to get visas for them.
The brothers also knew that the visa-seekers did not intend to return to India when their 10-month visas expired, a statement said.
Pena twins also travelled to India to assist the Indian nationals with the application process and visited and corresponded with the US Consulate in Mumbai.
Two other co-defendants -- Mack Patel of Ft Worth and Rakesh Patel, a Houston pharmacist -- pleaded guilty for recruiting Indian citizens who were willing to pay $20,000 to $60,000 in exchange for visas to enter the United States

This is a Tricky situation.you need Medical leave for your child but 4 months is a bit too long. Pls.contact your Attorney about the consequences of taking 4 Months leave on H1B visa.make sure your HR provides you with all the Paper work that your Attorney might ask to substantiate your leave.
My LC and I140 approved (PD: may 2004). Applied 485 on Aug 8.
I became father last month.
My new born son is sick and he needs total attention for next 4 months. I have used up all my vacation and planning to apply for medical leave. Pediatrician recommends me getting medical leave and support my wife.
I work in a very big hardware company. I have completed 3.5yrs in H1B so far.f I apply for medical leave, I may get a pay cut (like 20 to 30%). Will I be affected because of this medical leave? Are H1B's allowed to take medical leave (upto 4 months)..
Your comments are very much appreciated.
thanks

Everybody should use this template to e-mail the reporters and Senators. Its point blank and thought provoking.
I just read the summary prepared by IV core team -a job well done.
I like to think that being illegal is better than legal as per the provisions in CIR!
What do you think of H4-spouses who can't work whereas those illegal can now apply for a work-visas!
What do you think of parents who were not issued visitor visas for silly reasons? Whereas those who by hook or crook got here are being given work-visas?
How come the illegals are guaranteed a GC within 5 years and the current legal immigrants are NOT?
How come the illegals can work and the legal residents on certain visas can't?
How come the illegals can work for any employer while H1Bs can't?
I am not against giving these benefits to illegals if that's how it needs to fixed. But what about us, the bright and good folks!!
When did h1b become a joke?
This grand-compromise is not making sense at all. It's smelling real bad for legal-visa holders.

Ppl on their own have to realize the importance of a movement like this .No amount of convincing by friends/relatives would make any difference.
Hats off to ppl like Yann , Swede who really understood what this rally was all about...

Zcool,
Sorry to hear that. My friend also got very much similar RFE for H1 extension. Company replied to the RFE with the help of one of the best attorney's. It has been almost 3 months since he replied. But no action so far from USCIS. He is using AP to travel to india. There is always a chance that USCIS may issue a RFE on your 140 as well. My friend is planning to change the employer to avoid this mess. Consult a good attorney to come out of this.
good luck.

I was hoping that AILA would ask questions on capturing unused visa numbers and EB visa usage per year from USCIS!
I dont think USCIS can make a decision on capturing unused visa numbers. It is a directive that has to come down someone higher up, the president maybe. So AILA cannot ask them that question.
About annual wastage of visa numbers, since Ron Gotcher bought this news out, it must have already been discussed in an earlier [but recent] meeting or perhaps Ron has his own channel.

Prem : It is their will, they can issue it again, if they feel that considerable time has passed and they want to check if you are still employed on terms mentioned in your Labor.
No one can question USCIS, they can even deny an approved application. It is not a give and take exercise with them............. it's a one way street.:)

Dear IVans,
Now that the SEP VB is out, what does this indicate in terms of
- future VBs
- visa availability in the coming months
- awareness about visa wastage
- dates becoming current for most EB categories
- light at the end of tunnel for most of us
- USCIS efficiencies
Pls share your thoughts. Thanks!
USCIS efficiencies :D : They are not efficient. People with PD in 2002,2003,2004 are still waiting and that are in 2006 getting released. Where is FIFO and efficiency in their process? No transparency in their process.

Say a person has finished his 6 years and got a 3-year extension based on an approved I140. Now, he is working in his 7th year and his 485 gets rejected. Would that mean he still has 2 more years of H-1B or does that mean he loses the remaining 2 years of H-1B time immediately since 485 got rejected?
He will be out of status. Your 3 year extension beyond the allowed 6 years is based on that LC/I-140 from which your I-485 was filed. If the I-485 is rejected you have no right to stay beyond 6 years.
It is best to not use more than 3 years of H-1 if you have a pending I-485. That way you have 3 more years of H-1 in case you get rejected. The pending I-485 gives you unlimited time in the form of EAD/AP. Dont waste your H-1 time.
It only makes sense to keep H-1 while you have AOS if your country of chargeability is ROW, which is usually current. If your country is backlogged, it will most likely extend your H-1 over six years. Please consult a proper immigration attorney before you do anything.

Hi,
I own a D70
I too have become obsessive compulsive about the back focus issue.
I can see it (barely) when I use the kit lens.
It is Not there with the 50mm 1.8 Nikkor I have tried as well.
To the average user, you would never notice it. As far as I can tell, my BF is about 5mm behind what I lock on to. You really only see it if you are wide open and zoomed way in.
Im not sure if I want to bother sending it in. (Hassle)
Other than this issue I must tell you that the D70 is a fantastic camera!
I've used tons of cameras and this one functions beautifully.
It gets excellent color. (Skintones blow Canons away)

Well here is what I have thought of doing if I get into your shoes when I140, US GC looks dicey. (I already have Canadian PR till August 2010).
I would take a three/four week vacation and go and live there. Prepare for a job and get first hand ground feeling of what it feels like living in Canada, make a living and raise a family. After all making a living to able to support yourself is a important corner stone thing. You can't live of fresh air.
Can you compare your situation ? No. You are not the same nature, skills, personality, intelligence and willingness as others and most of all your own Luck. You know yourself best and the only way you can tell that the place will work out for you is when you go get a sample for yourself and your gut feeling. I went to Vancouver and just loved the place. My wife saw the clouds and gloom and hates the place (spoilt by southern california). You will be your best judge.
Take the harshest sample: Winter is tough in Canada. Go now and take a feel of what you will be expecting and set your expectation.
Info: Approx 90% of the Canadian population lives within 100-200 miles north of the US border.
Down the road: Make a plan and see whats your options down the road. Looking back is no good way of planning for the future. 3 years + few months, you can be Canadian Citizen. You have then the option of using TN and come right back into the USA, if you even have the need. Looking back now I feel I should have started this journey 2 years back. In the next year or so I would be a Canadian and could have come right back without the 140 and 485 headache. After two years I am still holding my breath for 140. Rightfully, Heaven is where I feel at peace. US has made me feel miserable and bitter after 9 years of rough rollercoaster and no end in sight. Can't buy a house, can't live freely, always on the edge and mercy of the Boss and H1B.
Having Canadian PR in hand is like having a bird in your Hand, and US GC is like two birds in the bush (I feel the birds are in Bush in Texas :) and its going to eat me, rather than I eating it) You don't even have the US Bird in sight and the story is getting tougher....
All options good. Go spend some time in Canada and see what your gut feel says.

Yes i called the original civil surgeon and the tb test is going to cost $15 only and xray $40.
I found the reason i got the rfe.
I had a copy of the last tb test report.
That civil surgeon forgot to check mark the tb test !!!!
He checked a different section !!!
I feel bad that i missed to read it!
I could have rectified the darn doctor then and there.
It was during the july fiasco. We were all in a hurry and tensed up.
Thanks for your update.
Once this rfe is cleared, i am going to sue that doctor for expenses!
I feel sad that people dont do their jobs properly in this advanced country.
you are complaining about the doctor who missed to check mark the tb test. Even you missed to fill in your profile.
Please update your profile.
