Hi
I came to US with H1 on Apr 2009. My wife who was working in the same company as I do, joined me on Dec 2009 with H4 visa. My H1 has expired on June 18 '10. I have applied for H1 extension much before and currently my status is pending with USCIS. Along with my H1 extension I have also applied for my wife's H4 extension. Her status is also pending.
My company has actually filed H1 visa for my wife for 2011 H1B quota.
I have the following questions, can someone kindly answer the same.
i) If my wife gets her H1 petition approved, should she travel back to my country to get it stamped and for her to work here in US?
Some say she should go back and some say she can start working here with her I797 notice, she can get it stamped whenever she goes to my country. Which is true?
ii) Assuming I get approval for my H1 extension and her H4 extension, should she get H4 extension stamped as well?
iii) Can she go for stamping for H1 as well as H4 in my country, if so which one should she go for first?

Friends,
LUD on my I-485 (TSC) had not changed for the last two years and I now find a soft LUD of 09/15/2009. Has anyone experienced recent LUDs on their pending I-485?
I am asking because I am wondering whether USCIS has really 'touched' my file or if this is just a regular 'batch update' that happened to all applications, may be because of the new website migration.
Appreciate your answers.
Thanks.

If one has Green Card based on family preference (son of US citizen), how long he has to stay in USA to maintain his Green Card. I heard it is min 180 days in a year ? Is that correct ?
What are other restrictions ? Does it impact citizeship ?
A detailed answer would be very helpful.
Also If one has Green Card which one if faster router to get his spouse to USA:
1. Applying as daughter in law of US Citizens. Or
(what family preference catergory this is ?)
2. Applying as wife of person having Green Card
(what family preference catergory this is ?)

1)
I am working on EAD for a company A (I have approved H1 with company B). i want to maintain both the statuses, can i do that by running the paycheck with H1 company?
You cannot be on H1-B if you are working using EAD.
2)
my fiancee is on H1 status and i want to change her status from H1 to H4 (H1 getting expired). will it be ok as long as i maiting H1 status?
Thanks
In order to qualify for H-4, the person has to be a legal dependent on the person holding H1-B. AFAIK, fiancee is not legally a dependent.

I am EB3 - Dec 2004 filer and there is no hope for few years that my date get current. i have filed another GC through my sister in May 2006 and that F4 category is moving quicker and expecting my priority date will be current in 5 years through my sister.
i have bought 2 Family house in Jersey City. now for my kids education we thought to move to India for 4 to 5 years until we get call for GC though my sister.
we are going to rent house - it's multi family near NYC. my landloard is willing to take care of it in our absence.
my Q is can we get B1 (Visitor visa) for 10 years , if we show that we have property in US and we may need to visit just to take check it ??
should we inform immigration officer about GC filed though my sister to assure that we will not stay in US longer, to get B1 visa?
can we get visitor visa before leaving USA? i mean converting from H1 to B1 for multi year?
i would appreciate some suggestions.

Hi,
Entered into USA on H1: 06/2001
Change of Status to F1: 12/2001
Change of Status to H1: 10/2004
Labor Filed Substitution: 07/2007
Appeal: 11/2009 in process
I calculated my time in USA excluding time spent outside the country and my 6 years will end in June 2010. When my employer renewed H1 back in 2008 he simply claimed for 3 years and USCIS approved till 03/2011. But I read somewhere online that we have to calculate our time spent in the country and should not go by the date that is on our H1.
1. Does the change of status from H1 to F1 reset the H1 time period or do we have to consider that time period while calculating the 6 years
2. As my application (AAO) is pending I heard I will get a one year extension. The question I have is can I stay on my current H1 till 03/2011 or do I have to renew my H1?
Thanks

Seeing no downside, more lawmakers reveal details of their work schedules (http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/seeing-no-downside-more-lawmakers-reveal-details-of-their-work-schedules-2007-09-18.html) By Jonathan E. Kaplan | The Hill, September 18, 2007
Do you know where your congressman is? Until recently, few aside from staffers could have answered �yes.� But under increased pressure from watchdogs and the public, more lawmakers are disclosing with whom they�re meeting, as well as when and where.
Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) is a case in point. For instance, she had two hectic days of meetings, receptions and fundraising events at the end of May.
On May 30, she met with American Insurance Group (AIG) officials, attended a meeting with Goldman Sachs employees to discuss sub-prime lending and alternative energy policies, sat down with Altria Group lobbyists to discuss tobacco regulation, and joined some of her business-friendly Democratic colleagues to meet with Morgan Stanley executives.
She then hopped on a plane for a two-day fundraising swing through San Francisco and Los Angeles, where she attended a fundraiser with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and raised money for herself.
This information normally is hard to come by for a reporter or government watchdog group. But during last year�s campaign, the Sunlight Foundation, a new watchdog, challenged lawmakers and candidates to publish their official work schedule online within 24 hours of the end of the workday.
�My sixth sense about this is that greater transparency is an antidote to corruption and members of Congress get that,� the executive director of the Sunlight Foundation, Ellen Miller, said. �[California Republican Rep.] John Doolittle is a case in point. We�re at the tip of the iceberg. More and more will do it as citizens begin to understand it.�
Gillibrand agreed to make her calendar public during the 2006 campaign, making it easier to see how she is using her time. Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) also started posting his schedule when he arrived in Washington even though he did not sign the pledge, his spokesman Matt McKenna said.
For Tester, open government is �a way of life in Montana,� McKenna said, adding that the reaction �has been all positive.�
Six more lawmakers, Reps. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.), Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.) and Doolittle and Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), have followed suit.
The calendars provide a glimpse into the harried lives of the lawmakers, showing with whom they meet and how they manage their time and highlighting differences between the House and Senate.
They also allow observers to link campaign donations to meetings.
Gillibrand flew to Palo Alto, Calif., on May 30. A week earlier she gave $4,600 to Clinton�s presidential campaign. On June 2, Gillibrand met � the calendar does not say where � with Jayne Shapiro, a wealthy businesswoman, who gave $500 to the campaign. Gillibrand also met with Marsha Kwalwasser, an executive at Northrup Grumman, according to CQ Moneyline.
Reporters and constituents love publicly posted schedules, and so do opposition researchers. MajorityAP.com, a Republican Web-based research service that provides information to reporters about Democratic lawmakers, accused Gillibrand of misleading the public by not stating where the event took place.
�It�s reasonable that the people in her district know that she�s in California raising money during the Memorial Day recess,� the website�s founder, Michael Brady, said.
A spokeswoman for Gillibrand said the missing location was a simple oversight, adding that Gillibrand�s office would look into adding the location.
Miller said Tester�s schedule should be the standard that lawmakers emulate, but that more disclosure is better than none.
Tester shares the same frenetic pace as Gillibrand, traveling, presiding over the Senate, sitting in committee hearings, meeting with constituents and huddling with Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.).
Take June 21, for instance.
Tester started the day at 9 a.m. with his senior staff, then attended a Senate Indian Affairs Committee hearing, met with a delegation from the PPL Corporation, presided over the Senate floor and lunched with former NBC anchorman Tom Brokaw.
The lawmaker returned to his office to meet with constituents, hit the annual ice cream social, chatted with more constituents � including the winner of the National Peace Essay Contest � and met with an official from the American Bankers Association. He and Baucus huddled at 3:30 and the Senate met at 11 p.m. that evening.
While editorial boards and government watchdog groups have praised the postings for adding transparency to the political process, each calendar has its shortcomings. Gillibrand and Schakowsky, for example, do not specify at what time each appointment occurred. Tester does not identify some people; Rehberg and Doolittle do not detail the time they spend politicking or raising money; and Hastings only lists his weekly schedule.
Most lawmakers do not archive their schedules, although Congresspedia does.
Castor, however, lists the times of her meetings and includes information on fundraising events she attends. She began posting her schedule in March.
�She�s a very strong supporter of open government,� Castor�s spokeswoman, Agustina Guerrero, said.
