Thank you very much for the replies.
Right now I am leaning towards cancelling my trip, even though it is going to cost me the entire price of the ticket, besides of course the immeasurable cost of not visiting home.
About the suggestion of hiring a lawyer, can an immigration lawyer here in the US help me in any way with a situation (the renewal interview) and an all-powerful person (the interviewer) half-way across the world? I can see how a lawyer may help smooth this problem if I were changing status while in the country (say from F1 to H1), but I don't see how a lawyer would help with my visa renewal...perhaps I just don't understand the extent to which a lawyer may be able to help. Is my question clear?
Again, thank you for the advice.

Guys,
IV has FINALLY gotten most of us Through the door. Now we have a 20,000 membership. If everyone of us contributes $10 per month that is $200,000 a month. If we cannot even contribute $10 PER MONTH, that is really really cheap of us.
Guys IV has done its job, now to ensure that we get to the finish line FAST, we need to dig into our pockets and not even very deep!
Common people It is $10 a MONTH

Can anyone please give me some suggestions..
My dad health is not stable and has been admitted to hospital. I would like to visit him. Does this qualify for emergency appointment. Mine is H1 revalidation.
Also please let me know what forms I need to complete before going to india.
Your suggestions are appreciated. Thanks
In word from your situation yes you can qualify for the emergency situation
the below are the reasons VFS mentioned when i was going for revalidation
1.Returning worker
2. For attending a funeral
3. If some family member is seriously ill
But things change i would advise you to check the website it tells u clearly who qualify for the emergency appointment. Also write to the consulate with your situation they will definately respond to you.

Dear Viewers
Could anyone please advice me on how to claim the unpaid salary from the previous employers.
I was working for a company based in Michigan run by an Indian. This person did not pay me my last month salary. He does not pick up his phone or respond to my email. I have all the proof that my client has paid him the money for which I worked but he continue to ignore my request. This guy owes me around 5000 dollars.
Any piece of advice would be of great help.

If u want to, you can apply for H1 extension as ur labor is more than year old. You will get one year h1-b extension, as ur I-140 is not approved yet. With approved I-140 u would get 3 year extension

When our original APs arrived last year in October they had a expiration date of September 28, 2008. But then we traveled to India and came back on AP. Now stamped AP says
Paroled until 02 Jan 2009
My question is which expiration date should use for renewal purposes and apply the 120 day rule.
Please let me know.
You should still consider the one which is on the AP document...

My Employer is paying for my Family GC Expenses (Myself, Wife, and Daughter). I have been working for him for the last 3 years. At the time of Filing my Labor, I have signed a letter (Just a letter on Company Letter Head) and faxed him the copy and the Original is with me. The letter says I have to pay back all the expenses for my GC if I leave the Employer before my GC approval time + 6 months.
My priority date is July 2006 in EB3 and 485 was filed on July 3rd. Based on the current trend it might take another 4 to 5 years to get my GC. My employer pays me very less and is not willing to give any hike in near future.
After 180 days (AC21), I want to change my employer. In the above scenario, can my present Employer sue me if I leave him? Please suggest�
Thanks in advance,
Ashok...

I am not sure about e-filing. Personally, I think efiling is a hassle as you have to go for a biometric appointment while paper filing or efiling does not make a difference in terms of work/result/timeline. I would recommend paperfiling. No matter how modern the front end is, the back end is all paper based and you will leave the people working on your case with a comfortable medium that they are familiar with if you paperfile. :D

You are talking about second FP on 485 right. I did not get it. My wife got it. Other thing I noticed is even after she gave her FP no LUD on her 485. I opened SR @ NSC for my FP notice.

Both the H1b have the same president's name and address during the application. is that enough. As I left that company and have no good terms with the last company anymore I don't know what kind of proof I can get. Also during the H1b application for Company A I receive some paper from the compnay that mentioned that the payroll of Company B is processed by Company A. All my W2's are from company A even i was working for company B.
Please advice
You have to somehow prove to USCIS that company A and C are subsidiaries and mere mentioning that they have been owned by the same person may not fly. You need some kind of proof on paper.
This is just one suggestion , ofcourse you have to talk to a lawyer before doing anything.

Hi,
I am currently holding L1 and B1 visa from a company A. Now some company B has applied for my H1 Visa. If I get H1b visa, does both L1 and B1 get cancelled.
Thanks.
My son was on B1 and then on H4. B1 was stamped in 2000 for 10 years. He was with me in US for 4 years and had 1 stamping of H4 in his passport after 2000. He moved to Canada in 2005 but still visits me on B1 which was issued to him before his H4 stamping and B1 was never cancelled. I am not sure about L1..

Folks,
I am in a dire situation. I received on Sep 15th 2008 the dreaded email "request for initial evidence sent case placed on hold". Neither my lawyers nor the employer has received that letter and now its being 45 days and now nothing yet in spite of repeated requests from lawyers and employer to the USCIS.
What are my option here?

Does this mean that we have to file I-485 before August 1st?. From August 1st, the August visa bulletin is effective and all the EB category dates are U.:confused:
You can file until Aug 16 .However from July 30 , you have to pay new feess..Better apply before July 30 and contribute to IV

I would pass this info to my employer and lawyer.
As of now my employer is bearing 45% of the costs and promised to cover the other 55% later.
Thanks
