Yeah, I have proof of Nepal. My mom still has properties and farm land in nepal.
I read at few forums that Indian consultate does not entertain changing place or date of birth? are there any exceptions to that? Or have they changed policies?
Has anyone been able to change the place of birth?
Thanks

I work in Health Insurance domain so if you need help in understanding the technical terms, may be I can help.
Kaiser Permanente mght be a good option if you are buying at individual level. I am not sure if they provide services in TN but if they do, then I would go for it. It is a HMO plan but KP hospitals provide reasonably good services at reasonable price in California.
Thanks for all your response. Kaiser does not provide in TN. when I get into trouble understanding the technical terms, i'll PM you.

Lets do it LAGAAN style . Play a Cricket / American Football match with USCICS .
1) If EB immigrants win, all immigrants for the next 3 years will get GC immediately .:D
2) If USCIS wins then let them introduce double retrogression . :mad:

one of my friend got his Initail EAD after 90 days by walking into local office but that was long back in 2002 . Not sure if laws changed ..
In the immigration world, 5 years is like 5 centuries.:)

Do not trust what the consulate website says
In 2001 i had my passport renewed in NY
they insisted...and were adamant...that it had to be 11 mnths to expiry not 12 mnths...it makes no sense but they don't care.
they also don't care what the web site says.
i was told that if i wanted to travel i could get a temporary passport, since mine was full...and btw it was damaged (old, overused and beginning to come off at the sea...which is why i wanted a new one) so i would pay a large penalty, and a mnth later when i returned a could again apply for a new passport since it would be 11 mnths to expiring.
make sense if you can!
Chicago has similar idiosyncrancies. They don't provide all the services they list on the web site. They also do not care what the web site says. Call and you will be in an endless spiral of people saying different things and not really wanting to talk to you.

In my experience, it is not required if your are still within the expiry date on the previous stamping and the previous stamping was for a H1-B. You just need to show the latest 797 ( h1-b approval) . I have used this feature many times, and have even changed two employers in between. Never had a problem, except once while coming back from Canada. The immigration officer was new and hence went and asked her superior who said it is no problem. I was let thru with not problems after that. I never had a problem in SFO, thru which i travel frequently.
I think i saw a FAQ for this on murthy.com . check that site as well.
In the end, I am not an attorney, so dont legally hold me to my response. consult your attorney.

Bank denied a consumer loan ,after approval due to immigration status specifically they said no loan unless you are a citizen. i am a permanent resident , leaving in the US for over 15 years. Applying for naturalization this year. Also the same bank had approved a consumer loan 2 years ago and now they say "oh we made a mistake then". Case or no case? I think I have been discriminated against.

While we are discussing this, I have another question. What if someone moves to a different company with similar role. I get it that the new employer will have to file for PERM and I-140, but is there something that can be done so that priority date is ported, assuming the previous I-140 has been approved when the shift happened and there is still more than 1 year left on H1B (either because < 6 years or because of 3 yr extensions after I-140 has been applied).
Thanks,
Gaurav

Thanks for the prompt reply and need clarification on few more things....
like when the new co is in the process of transfer of h1 or after the transfer of h1 the old co revoke I-140 then ...
1) Will I be able to get 3 yrs extension or that extension will be valid after H1 transfer ?
2) How it will effect the future GC process by new Co.?
need your suggestion on these too:
3) thinking worse scenario.. after H1 transfer to new co if lay off happens...then
how things will work out to stay on H1 status?
4) what I should discuss/need to clarify with new empl before making a move ?
thanks!

seahawks you said:
A passport must me valid at least 6 months is my understanding when I got my H1 renewed.
Could you please provide me a link to an official website that can confirm this?

I am in the same boat here. It took a huge effort to convince new company to process H1 and now their attorney is saying they can not file H1 unless I140 and LC copies are provided. My current company does not provide those documents.
I140 approval is more than 180 days. Please help guys
Thanks

THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH FOR PRECISE REPLY BUEHLER but am I not within my legal right to work for any hospital branch because they are all with one name.
My final question would be YES I was told that I will have a new ID and new payroll number and a separate paycheck but what can be done to rectify this situation. Like do they have to amend the H1B petition(mine is a non-cap hospital--- a charity hospital).
My H1B stipulates that I am a full-timer with 40 hrs per week but starting from next week it is going to be 32 sometimes and 40 hrs some weeks as we are not seeing many patients into our hospital due to the economy,jobs etc.
What is the solution. Do I have to move to a different job or can there be a solution to work for the same company (in different branches)
First assume that you are talking about the same company, so that you get one paycheck, one W2, etc.
Your H1-B job must match what is specified in LCA. In particular, LCA is location specific. If you work in a different location (and no longer work in the old location), you need a different (ameded) LCA. If you want to work in two locations, you need to file an amended LCA that lists both locations.
Now, if the two "branches" are different entities (i.e., you are going to receive different paychecks, W2's etc.), you need two H1-B's. File a second "concurrent" H1-B for the second position, and you will be good. The concurrent H1-B will be cap-exempt.

Anyone please advice if I need to get verified the PIMS check before my h1 visa interview at Kolkata, I have an appointment on 1st week of Jan2011.
Please share if anyone has any idea one this
Thanks
-MK
My H1 petition (3 yr extension after completion of 6 yrs) was approved on 10/4/2010 and I had my visa interview at the Kolkata Consulate on 10/29/2010. I was a little concerned because PIMS had mostly been an issue for newly approved petitions and in my case the approval was granted only 25 days before the interview. On the interview day, we were made to wait a little longer than the B1/B2 cases and the visa officer finally called us. We were asked some formal questions and visa was granted. Possibly the PIMS verification was done while we were waiting. Hope this helps!!
