It costs time, stress, sleepless nights, anxiety, restlessness and some hair loss(the list could be long for others) if you get a RFE relating to AC21, these are all bonus in addition to the money you spend for filing MTR.

I visited the country first ~8 yrs ago as a visitor. I got a job offer from a desi company and they filed for my H1. I was never informed about status of the H1 petition. I was informed I am in status and it was OK to stay longer than the time allowed by my I-94 (in a visitor status).
In the process, I ended up staying about 10 days longer, but then I returned to India, and came back after a couple of months, again as a visitor.
Now I'm on a H1B (8th year) with I-140 approved, but haven't traveled at all, and would like to get a visa issued/stamped in my passport.
I have since lost touch with that employer and they don't seem to be in business any more, nor can the owner be contacted.
I recently learnt from someone that the petition was in fact approved.
I called USCIS, and I was told the employer who filed the petition can file a form (I-824?) to get a duplicate copy, but they need to attach a copy of the original as proof!! *Or I can file a request under Freedom of Information Act*, they're not sure how long that'll take to get processed.
Questions:
1) Will the overstay become a problem? I do not have any documentation of the filing/status/approval of the H1 petition filed at that time.
2) How else can I get a copy of the Approval Notice to prove I wasn't out of status during the less than 2 weeks of overstay about 8 years ago?
3) Will this become a problem with my I-485 (whenever that will be filed with a PD of early 2006)?
Thanks,
Jazz

Hotel News Now, a leading Global Hospitality publication, ran a two-part series about staffing challenges facing the U.S. hotel industry. I was honored to be interviewed by the publication and share my insights on the problems facing hospitality employer in these challenging times.
With the level of unemployment about 8.5 percent, why do hotels still need foreign workers? There are various reasons, from location to the attitudes of American workers. And changes in schedules and lifestyle have affected one of the former staples of summer work�students.
The situation is bad for staffing professionals in the industry, said Jacob Sapochnick, a San Diego, California-based lawyer whose practice is devoted to immigration law. �Even though they can hire local people, they can never rely on them for the full term,� he said. �If you have a large hotel, need 50 housekeepers and hire locally, the turnover is very high. They find a better job or one that pays more. When you have H-2B workers, they know they have them for 10 months. Their visa depends on them working at that hotel.�
The more turnover, the less likely the hotel will function properly, Sapochnick said.

Guys,
My wife was working on H1B now and she got EAD last week. Out of the following options which is TRUE and which is BETTER.
Option 1--> Moving to EAD from H1B by signing on I-9
Option 2--> COS from H1 to H4 and then to EAD.
I read in some of our threads that if we choose option 1 and if something goes wrong in AOS, we have to file for new H1B again. We have to wait for quota etc etc.
I also read that if we choose Option 2, if something goes wrong in EAD, we can always change back [ie RESUME]to H1B.
I am not so sure about these. Could some one share their thought.
Thanks
sree

If one has already recieved their Green Card and been working with the same employer who sponsered their Green card, for 6 months, can they then leave the employer and take a break for another 6 months?
Is it necessary to be working always if one has recieved an employment based Green Card?

Q's is will it have any impact on 485 process for the employees in case of any issues in the company in other areas ?
Please let me know.
Is it possible for you to share your companies name which is being audited.

Whatever maybe the motivation, but I hope there are enough politicians like him who depend on immigrant votebanks to push for CIR. Not sure, CIR even if passed would do any good EB. :rolleyes:

Just came accross this site. Not sure how accurate the data is, but looks like so far from 2002 there are only 701413 total pending 485 cases. I guess majority of those would be non employment based. Any one seen this data? Is this accurate?

My understanding is that you can transfer existing H1B. I am not a lawyer.If you have a copy of your H1B approval notice, you should be able to transfer to your new company. However, if you may have to visit US consulate back in your home country for Visa. You may want to double check with immigration gurus.
