It is not necessary approve before you leave this country. You can leave before they make decision. But you can not return USA using expired AP.

You can not return into USA using expired AP. In order to use new AP which you have already applied. It should be approved before you leave USA.
Other option you have H1B stamping if you are maintaining H1B. thanks

Hi,
My H1B extension got denied, I have n't got the denial notice yet. Can someone please advice what options do i have with out going out of status? and how long i can stay in this country?. My current I94 expired in sept 2009.
Please advice.
My situation was same. Upon getting denial notice me and my employer talked to Murthy and on there suggestion we filed a fresh extension petition with all documents. We filed under premium processing and I got approved H1B with I-94 in 10 days.
I suggest you to consult with a highly recognized immigration lawyer and based on your denial reasons act accordingly.
You can also appeal against denial, but then you can't work and there is no premium processing in appeal. You might have to wait for many a days.
Consulting with a lawyer will help you my friend. Good luck.

well, i realistically see two options here:
1. Get your family here ASAP and apply COS for all. If your COS gets approved, most likely theirs will get approved as well. You can do yours in premium and theirs by regular. As long as they get the receipt within 2 months, they'll be in status.
2. You can apply COS for yourself in premium and ask your family to stamp H4. If they get stuck in 221g, then it could be months before they get here. That's the downside.
Your L1 visa stays if your COS gets rejected, so you don't have to leave immediately.
If you file a L1 - H1 COS under premium processing and also file dependent petitions (H4) at the same time, even dependent petitions will be premium processed at no additional cost. In other words, you only pay $1000 towards your H1 premium processing and USCIS will also approve all dependent petitions. But you need to file them along with your H1. If you first file your H1 under premium processing and later H4s, then your H1 will only be premium processed.
If I were you, I would get my family here on L visa and then file all the COSs at once.

It looks like my lawyer has already mailed the application to USCIS. The priority dates becomes current only on July 1st.
What are my options here? Does anyone has faced such a situation?

Although it does not feature in this article, Bush is using the word 'Guest Worker' more often these days. Any opinions about the emphasis on the word 'Guest' these days in Bush's speeches? Is there a covert message there?
He is backing off from amnesty. Guest worker is one option without amnesty. Here is numbersusa crap (http://www.numbersusa.com/index) on covert message.
Current state of guest worker program is at Unions Split on Immigrant Workers (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/26/AR2007012601635.html).

Hi,
There are 2 processing centers - Atlanta and Chicago...but all the audited cases can be processed only at Atlanta, i.e chicago audited cases will be transferred to Atlanta....
I believe there is only one processing center for PERM now. Only Atlanta is doing the PERM processing. All cases are trasfered to atlanta from chicago. Thats what I heared from Ron Gocher.
Thanks

Yes, the wording is very important. When I sent the AC21 documentation, it was just a letter explaining employment details and particulars, but when I replied to NOID, they specifically requested "prospects of employment" - and we responded as "this is a full time permanent job and the prospects are good" - which means they see it as future employment.
As long as you have worked for original employer for a good period of time, stick to your skills, have good w2 history, you don't have to worry - you can always show that your prospects are good.
Though Green card if for future employment - the entire process revolves around how best you fit the future employment category - AC21 is one such rule that gives you room and flexibility.
Thanks for your quick response. I might as well ask one more question that's in my mind. Did you go thru the company's attorney or you hired yourself? I really don't trust my company's attorney as they work for the best interest of the company rather then the employees...may not be the norm but mostly its that way.
Could you PM me if you know good attorney's other then Ms Murthy (cause they are expensive)
Thanks.

Can this question be taken for next conference call ? I have seen numerous people looking for answer to this question becasue the underlying law (AC21)pertaining to this issue is very vague. It has not been answered in any previous conference calls.
============================
What is the relation between a 3 year H1B approval granted on an approved I-140 and the underlying I-140 petition ? Specifically, what happens if an employee leaves the company, are the remaining years (out of 3 granted originally) still valid ? What happens if the original employer revokes/cancels the I-140 peition on which the extension was originally granted ? Is the H1B petition based on a an approved I-140 linked to that I-140 in anyway once it (H1B petition) is approved ?
In summary:
Does the H1B extension based on approved I-140, once granted linked to I-140 in any way ?
If yes:
What happens to the H1B if I-140 is revoked ?
If No:
Any law/precends supporting the conclusion ?

You have a valid point but in worst case scenario, can i use the EAD and handle the RFE at the time of citizen ship... is the RFE during approval of GC or during citizen ship ?
You won't get an RFE during approval of GC since you are legally here all the time due to AOS but your wife will get it when you file for her GC since she would be out of status all this time.

I am a Master's student and had applied for H1B through a consultant under master quota 2007. I was devastated when the consultant told me today that my H1B was not approved. When i checked online with my WAC no, as expected it said that a decision was mailed to the employer which in most cases means H1B denied.
I have OPT left until dec 07. I haven't yet found a job while on OPT but have been applying for jobs rigorously. I was really banking on the H1B visa for getting a job and then transferring it over to whoever hires me.
With my H1B not approved, I am totally clueless now. Please advice if my H1B application can be reconsidered/re-appealed/ resubmitted. Any other options/suggestions welcome.
Get a job in either an educational, research or a non profit organization and reapply for H1B under quote exempt category. do it soon as that too takes time... preferably through premium processing after securing a job. good luck.

If this happens it will be a bad news as given environment I 140 approval takes years . Very soon there will be a backlog in I 140 stage.. They are just swaping backlog from one stage to another..

do they normally send a receipt notice for the new 765 application that you file to correct EAD error...?
i.e. if we do not receive a RECEIPT NOTICE in like 2 -3 months- should we follow up by Infopass or Calling 1800 number? OR just wait!!! for 4 months to end and then call and infopass

Of the 3 the first one is my pick. Nature has little regard for keeping things level and plumb, so the shot has a slightly tilted feel to it. On the second one, it feels a bit cramped and probably would have benefitted by a bit more of the sky - perhaps by shooting from a lower angle.

Have your 485 checks been cashed? You really need to start following up - if you went through a lawyer, check with the lawyer. If not, tell the lawyer to give you a status on the receipt notice.
