I got my first H1-B approval in 2008. I am originally from Mumbai and I have always got my previous visa stamps from the Mumbai consulate.
I paid my visa fees at an HDFC branch in Mumbai in the hope of getting an interview appointment in Mumbai this month. I am flying to India next week and I still do not see any open dates in Mumbai for the month of December. For some reason the VFS webpage displays open dates only at Chennai and Calcutta.
So the question... is it possible for me to visit the consulate in Chennai to get a visa stamp? Do I have to explain why I chose to come to Chennai instead of applying in Mumbai? Are there any other problems for people who choose a different consular district?
A quick survey on the US Consulate General - Chennai website only mentions to select the *most convenient* consular office. Right now I have at least one perfectly valid reason on why I should be granted an interview in Chennai.

I came to the US on F1 for MS and then trasferred to another college to pursue my PhD. During this time my F1 visa expired, but I am maintaining my legal status as my I-20 is valid. I got married last year and my wife who originally came on F1, is now on H1.
I am going to planning to go to India in end of April and need to renew my F1 visa. What are the chances of my renewal getting refused, due to my wife's H1 (dual intention) status? What documents if any, can I show in order to prove that I have intentions to come back to the US?
I need to get a visa interview date soon, so please reply as soon as is convenient.
Thanks in advance!

The answer should be "yes". The job should be offered to foreign national for processing his/her PERM or GC. However, the job can be accepted by FN, only after USCIS authorization. That authorization can be either H1 or EAD or GC itself. In other words, you can accept the job even after getting GC; however, in order to process your GC, there should be always a job offer for you from sponser right from begining(PERM LC).

Please click on link to read entire article - very interesting.
...There are now 2.57 million Indians in the United States, according to the American Community Survey of the U.S. Census Bureau. That makes it one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups. Indians are well-off, generally. Median family income is over $69,000. Indians are educated, for the most part. Seventy-six percent have at least a college degree.
India is everywhere. It’s in Booker Prize lists, spelling bees and specially-for-you nuclear deals. It’s in Sukhi’s homecooked chicken tikka masala paste at Whole Foods. It’s in Bhangra aerobics classes and Britney remixes. Newsweek called South Asians the “new American masala.” Five hundred years after Christopher Columbus thought he had discovered Indians, we are truly found.
When I first came to the U.S., Americans asked me about that “dot on the forehead.” Now, Madonna wears a bindi. Bollywood borrows Hollywood plotlines (well, two or three for one three-hour film). Now, the Kronos Quartet reinterprets Bollywood composer R.D. Burman. Birthday cards are reproducing old kitschy Indian matchbox covers. Body-hugging T-shirts worn by gay guys in the Castro say “San Francisco” in Devnagari script. There are even Bollywood appreciation classes at universities. My kitsch has become their cool....

Hello all:
First, I'd like to express my thanks to IV for taking up this cause and doing a wonderful job!
I am currently on an H1-B visa. My 6 year term expires 2/1/09. Current employer is yet to file LCA. Company lawyers have advised that any time I've spent out of the country (past & within next few months) can be used to offset the 1-yr cut off requirement for LCA application. I've been out for a total of 6 weeks to date, but would need more time, looking at an April-end LCA filing. I am now looking to change my job.
-Can I change my status to H4 until I get another job and then file for GC with new employer?
-What are current processing times for H4 if applied from within the US?
-Will I get subjected to H1 quota when changing back from H4 to H1?
-I've been told time spent on H4 is not counted for H1 term and I can apply that time (in addition to my 6 weeks) to the 1-yr limit (LCA should be filed 1 yr before 6-year H1 expiration). Is this true?
-If so, what about the time taken for H4 approval? Can I be in status after resigning & while waiting for H4 approval? Can the time taken for H4 approval be counted towards time not on an H1?
-Has anyone heard of such a situation? What are the chances of getting an extension if H1 ported to new company & LCA filed with them after joining?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi !
Our lawyer had posted our application on July 2nd and we had our fingerprinting scheduled for 21st august which was completed.
I checked my status on the USCIS site for the very first time today. And it says. "On July 30, 2007, we received this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case" . Can anyone kindly explain me what this means ( how July 30th and what mail are they talking about ?we never received any! ) ...

What I don't understand is why you are filing another I-140 when you already filed I-485? In any case you can use AC21 only after your 485 has been pending for more than 180 days.
Employer A with EB3 PD Feb2003 and I 485 filed
Same Employer A is doing EB2 PERM with I 140 PD porting
Is it possible to invoke AC21 in middle of process??
1. is it possible to use AC21 after 140 approval??, any time constraints?
2. what about between 140 filing and 140 approval?
3. at what stage it is not safe?
any advice please

Hello,
My original H1B visa was issued to me on Oct 1st, 2010 and is valid till Sep 30th 2010.
I got a new job in 2009 and they applied for my H1 transfer. It was approved and the new dates on the new I797 are 10/01/2009 till 09/17/2012. I went to India after that and when I returned, I got a new I-94 off course which was stamped to be valid until Sep 30th 2010.
Now I am nearing the end of my original H1B visa issued by my previous employer and stamped on my passport this coming October. I am also planning to go to India in this coming June. Will I will have to get my visa renewal stamping done this time if I go to India? Will I need a new H1B stamp on my passport from my new employer on my passport to come back?
I really appreciate any words of wisdom from all you learned people on this forum. Thanks in advance!

1.Did anybody have recently got H1B stamping done in Hyderabad consultate.
Yes, I got it done in October.
2. Any issues with getting appointment dates.
No. The only issue I had was that they don't let you book well in advance, which makes it difficult to plan travel. Also, I did not realize until the last minute that you need to submit your documents 4 days in advance before the interview. Luckily one of my friends told me about it and I was able to request my dad to submit the documents in time. Not sure what would have happened if I did not submit the documents upfront...may be, they might have still allowed me in.
3. I have all the documentation in place including pay stubs in the last 8 years.
Good. I have been working for 8 years as well and took the paystubs for just this year(2010) and tax returns for past 3 years. But, they did not ask anything as I was renewing for the same company for the same job. They just asked what I do for the company.
4. Is it preferable to get stamping done in Canada than in Hyderabad,
I prefer Hyd as that is where my parents live and I don't have to waste travel fares, visa fees (for canada visa), hotel, vacation etc by going to canada. I just got it done when visiting my parents. If you live close to Canada or have special travel needs, then may be Canada should be considered.
5. How many days does it take to get the passport back.
7 days total I think, including weekend.

Hi,
I applied AP online successfully by paying with my credit card. At the end when i get to the confirmation page, my PDF download did not include the i-131 application but only the confirmation number. I thought i should be ok and i sent all the required documents. I cannot add the LIN number to my case status portfolio as it says "Case cannot be found as it is not entered". My credit card has been charged. I received confirmation that they got my documents but i cannot check my case status online.
Did anyone faced such issue.
