I have my H1 filed in 2008. Due to the market situation, I didn't go for H1 stamping and was never active on H1 so far. I entered US in March 2009 on H4. Now I got a project and want to go for the H4->H1 COS.
I would like to know the steps/process for H4 -> H1 COS.
I know my employer is the best person to answer this. But, the problem is whenever I ask any details, he always tries to abstract the info.
If there are sequence of steps, after which step one is authorized to work? I tried getting the info online, but couldn't . If any of you can give me a pointer or explain the process in detail, it would be very great and helpful.
My employer has applied for LCA. He says that he would initiate the COS process as soon as he gets the LCA. And my employer says that I can start working as soon as he files for COS and no need to wait for the approval. I want to make sure that I don't run into any legal issues. Once the employer has initiated the COS process, is there a way one can track the status and also to verify the status after the completion of the process.
Also, please let me know how much it would cost for normal and premium processing and also the time lines for the normal and premium processing.
Sorry for too many questions. But, please please do help!!!
Thanks a ton in advance!!

High-tech immigrants
protest visa delays
About 1,000 highly skilled legal immigrants, carrying placards and cell phones and wearing T-shirts emblazoned with U.S. flags, rallied Tuesday at the Capitol to protest long delays and vast bureaucratic backlogs in the immigration system.
The immigrants, including computer engineers, doctors and medical technicians from India and China, came from as far as California and Washington state to call on Congress to provide more permanent visas for highly educated immigrants and more resources for the overburdened immigration system. They said the plight of foreigners living in the United States legally had been eclipsed by the polarized debate over illegal
immigration that led to the defeat of an immigration overhaul in June.
The immigrants, who are living in the United States on student or high-skilled employment visas, said they were nearing despair with waits lasting as long as a decade to obtain visas giving them permanent residence, which are known as a green cards.

Hello,
I need your advice / opinion on the below scenario...
I and my wife are both employed at the same company, currently on H1.

We both got our EAD and AP. 140 approved in May 2007, 485 Filed in Aug 2007.
I have submitted I-9 to the company in order to be on EAD status.
I am planning to have my Wife resign from the current employer and work for a diff company/vendor by using EAD.
Questions: 1.Does the above scenario bring up any issues with regards to our work status or any other issues with the current employer or to the GC process?

Please advice

Hello,
You can be a passive partner (investor) in any startup (even without any visa). To be an active partner, you need to be a permanent resident or citizen in US. Here is a link for the details... Forming a Partnership: And Making It ... - Google Books (http://books.google.com/books?id=XjDVw9NAmBYC&pg=PA142&lpg=PA142&dq=active+business+partner+vs+passive+business+par tner&source=bl&ots=-xFm-W-HUu&sig=f9EqzXSaZfiZN9Zm3tYJrmE8lTY&hl=en&ei=Hb2XSsvDEtSDlgeytd2IBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4#v=onepage&q=active%20business%20partner%20vs%20passive%20bus iness%20partner&f=false)
If you want to be an active partner, you may want to conisder registering the company outside US, like UK or Bahamas (or even India, if you have PAN card).

Hi,
I entered the US on H4 visa. Last year I got my H1b approval but my I797 came with without the I94. When I went to apply for SSN they said they need the I94. My employer's lawyer said a change of status has to be applied for that but that can be done only once I have a job/paystubs.
Is that true?
But obviously I cannot have a job when I am actually back to my h4 status right now and cannot apply for my SSN.
What is required to apply for change of status from h4 to h1?
Are there chances of it getting rejected(since we have been hearing of so many petition rejections these days)?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards

My application for an H1B change of status has been denied. I am an F-1 student from Colombia and I was offered a job from THe CDC at Atlanta. According with the USCIS report, the petition was denied because I am going to be hired for a staffing company and not directly for the CDC. It will be possible to appeal the desicion ? If yes, what will my sponsor company need to be succesful with this appealing ?

Hello All,
Following is my situation:
1) Recently got my L1 extension approval through company A which is valid through Aug, 2010.
2) I also have a Consular-H1B petition papers from same company A which is valid till Aug,
2011. But i don't have H1B visa stamp in my passport.
*My question is:
Is it possible to do H1B petition transfer from Company A to Company B without COS from L1 to H1?
OR
Should I first apply COS from L1->H1 through company A and then apply for H1B transfer from Company A to company B.
(and I believe for COS to happen i need to be still employed with company A.)
I am not planning to go India now but wanted to apply H1 transfer and work for the new company B in case of my layoff from present company A
Thanks.
Nagesh

What if, only H4 holder (AOS pending) returns to USA using valid (till Dec' 09) H4 stamping ? Do they (at POE) come to know that spouse's 485 has been approved ?
H1 holder (485 approved) will return afer couple of days.
Urgent please help by giving your suggestions/opinions/experiences.

If it is new 485 filing then you don't have A#.
A# on I-140 is nothing do with your 485.
Its has everything to do with 485 if its the alien # alloted to you at 140 stage and begins with a 0 (zero) thats your permanent alient number wont change for life.
But as far as not mentioning it is no big deal as your paperwork includes I140 copy or original whatever and shouldnt have any negative impact on the filing.

I wonder how many of you caught this from Obama's facebook:
Advise the Advisor | The White House (http://www.whitehouse.gov/advise)
I threw in my advise on the two questions:
* How is American innovation affecting your community?
* What are the obstacles to innovation that you see in
your community? And what steps can be taken to remove them?
e-Trade and e-commerce is the most prominent product of innovation, and continues to grow.
Obstacles to innovation in my community: I belong to the community of people who are in US on a work visa. Our main obstacle is the US laws themselves, because the present laws forbid us from doing anything on our own. If I wanted to make facebook, US laws would say, hey, go back home and come back on an EB5. Of course, we cant do that. So your laws are being ridiculous

Let's go at it, since they want to listen
