    We (at my work) have used the ombudsman once for an H-1B approval notice, so it's worth the shot. We received it within 72 hours.

    Because you are in status right now, your employer or employer's attorney would just complete the H1B as a Change of Status and Extend Stay request. Do not leave the U.S. If you leave, it will need to be consular processed and you will be subject to the 100,000 fee. You do not do anything at this point, this is all on your employer and their attorney. Since your employer took part in the lottery they should probably be able to complete the i129 themselves, it's very straightforward once the position merits Specialty Occupation. source: I file the i129 H-1B forms my employees at my organization, only difference is we are not subject to the CAP Lottery.

  5. Sinead91
    It's not best practice from what I have seen. By beginning your Adjustment of Status you are declaring you intend to stay and J1 is an exchange visitor program, not dual intent. Just what we have seen at work and it muddles the water a little less.
  6. Sinead91
    Since she doesn't have the 2 year residency requirement, go ahead and marry and file your adjustment of status paperwork. Once she receives her EAD, then the J1 program should end for her.

    I would recommend having a MOU (memorandum of understanding / formal collaboration letter for your own records in case, but i don't see it affecting or impacting your J1 or your approval.

    What is the basis for your 212E requirement? Government funding or visitor's skills list? I don't see it being an issue. We have had employees with similar situations. We did have a signed memorandum on file outlining the collaboration between the two sites (our category is Research Scholar). Since the basis of the J-1 is to exchange knowledge and foster collaboration within the scientific community (in this context), I dont think it's a problem. You said you already received a favorable recommendation, has it gone to USCIS for approval? In that case, there is nothing to worry about. You just need to have your waiver in hand for an H1B petition.
  12. Sinead91
    Why is your spouse abandoning her H1B and working under a H4? Will her employer not extend her H1B? But yes, once her H1B expires at the end of September, unless they extend it for her, she has to wait until she has her EAD in hand before continuing employment.

    if you have a valid passport, valid stamp and valid i797 in THEORY you should be fine, however with this administration, who knows.

  16.    appleblossom reacted to a post in a topic: H1B USA visa questions
  17. Sinead91
    The only way for you to get your own independent visa is to find your own employer. If you have a specialty occupation, then you may find someone to sponsor your H1B or you can enter under the TN, if you meet the requirements, but a diploma won't be enough. You can only work on H4 status when you have an EAD and the only way to receive this is if your spouse has an approved i140. If they do not have this, then you cannot work under H4.
  18. Sinead91
    Won't be an issue. With H1B filings you submit a copy of your most recent i94, which you download from CBP. This is the same number as what is on your H1B, so if there's an error on your i94 on your 797, they will look at the i94 from the CBP website. The i797 is submitted to show proof of maintenance of status and you then also upload your i94 with it

  24.    Blandben reacted to a post in a topic: H1B - Medical Required?
  25. Sinead91
    No, Medicals are typically required for immigrant visas, H1B is a non immigrant visa (although from within the US it is dual intent). The LCA is submitted by your employer and has nothing to do with a medical or your health. It is submitted to the Department of Labor and is there to protect salaries for H1B workers. It ensures you are paid a fair wage based on occupation and metropolitan statistical area.

    Your new employer should file a new H1B for you, and you will need a new i797 also.
