Hello all,
Recently I got my H1B stamped at Mumbai India, this was my
third H1B, and fifth US visa(I got two B1/B2s in addition). The
US Visa stamping process has been streamlined and better organized
than it was when I got my first one in 1999!:)
Process started with me paying visa fees upfront at HDFC bank.
after paying the fees, they will give two copies of the receipt,
one for you and one for the consulate.
Next step is to get yourself photographed. Every photo studio
in Bombay knows the specification now, so it was no problem.:)
Get digital copies of the photographs.
Next step is to go online and fill the application forms. One needs
to upload photographs and enter the fee payment receipt number
in the form. Once completed, print the application after saving.
The application form has a bar code, so please make no changes
after the printout, if you do one needs to take a fresh print.
The next step was to arrange an appointment for visa stamping
which can be done online, once appointment is fixed
one can go to the visa application center which is very
near the Consulate at Breach Candy. They will verify the application
and give you a confirmation of the appointment. Make sure
that you submit your application form at least three business
days before the visa appointment.
To avoid the morning hour traffic we checked into a hotel
near the consulate. The appointment was 10:30 AM, but we
reached the consulate at 10:00. The appointment confirmed
suggested we do not go to the consulate before 10:15, but
went ahead anyway. The security let us in. :) The consulate
was full of visa aspirants, and I braced myself for a long wait.
We submitted our application forms after getting our fingers
printed.
To my surprise, we were called for interview at around 10:10.
The consulate officer commented that I have already lived
in the US, to which I said yes. The question was repeated to
my wife, who also had a stint in the US. Then she asked me
what kind of work I will be doing in US. I gave a rather long
answer which I guess bored her a bit. My six year daughter
complained that it she is tired, the consular officer started
small talk with her. Then she said my passport will be sent
by courier. By 10:20 we were on our way back home.
We received our passports separately over the next 10 days.
surprisingly my daughter got hers within 2 days, but my
wife had to wait full 10 days!
I am in the US now :)
Thanks for sharing your expereince. Just wanted to know Where did you stay in Mumbai? And how much was the rate?
Also did you submitted H1B fees diff. of new and old fee duting the visa interview?

My AP was los in mail too (see signature). In my case I had gone to India to get 8th year H1 stamping, when the UPS guy left it at my door and I never got it. Yep, UPS, not USPS, this package was sent by my lawyer who knew I was in not at home :)
I called USCIS when I got back and they said I should re-apply if I need to go outside of US and re-enter on AP in next year, else don't worry.

There's definitely something fishy about the way these events took a sudden turn. It's all surfacing now. USCIS certainly needs to have transparency in the way they performs their duties. This is entirely unacceptable.

My understanding of the Neufled memo does not invalidate the question asked by Saarissimo. The memo refers to a person being the sole owner of a company. If the LLC in question is owned by X,Y and they then offer Saarissimo 33% of the company to own, then Saarissimo's employment in the LLC should fall under employer-employee relationship unless it is specifically written in the operating agreement that the company will cease to operate if Saarissimo is terminated from employment.
I know people on H1B sponsored by ABC LLC, and owning upto 2% of ABC. They have never had any problems, and are well on their way towards Green Card processing. Unfortunately, I do not know if the considerations change dramatically if ownership is 33% instead of 2%.

Don't worry about it. Infact I had 3 different numbers..one for EAD on F1, 140 and 485.
The 485 and EAD (GC based) had the same number. When ever I had to apply for AP or EAD (did only once as I always had H1), I used the one on 485 receipt as this is what I have on my GC.
I was under the impression that I will have only one A#... apparently I was wrong :)..many people said go take an infopass, get it consolidated etc.. I think this will mess up things than clearing it going by their efficiency.
Forget about the one on 140....always use what they gave you on 485 receipt... leave the consolidation part to them.

My attorney uses Fedex and we get receipts on time.
I would recommend to use Fedex instead of UPS.

I have been working in the USA with an H1B Visa since Nov, 2007; this until August 2009 when I was laid off by my employer/sponsor (Company A). Last time I entered the US was August 13, 2009 (I was admitted until Sep 23, 2010 day the H1B visa expires). Last pay stub August 2009.
I dedicated myself to get a new job (I didn't know at the time that my staying represented a huge risk for me). I finally got a job offer on November 15, 2009. It is an international group who just opened an office in Miami.
Holidays, all the foreign management start up procedures, along with the fact that the lawyer was very slow, made that the actual application date for I-129 March 1st.2010. Imagine that. We required premium processing.
On January 15, I asked my lawyer if considering the delay of the new employer (it is a new business here in the US), and all other issues, it was better for me just to leave the country and simple apply again on April 2010. He said no.
On March 1, 2010 (effective date of the application) I started to formally work for company B -I just got my first pay stub. On March 22, 2009, USCIS sent a request for further evidence. The lawyer has the letter -I enclosed- in his desk since last Thursday. Response is due May 6, 2010.
As you can see USCIS requires, among other matters, pay stubs from January 1 2010 to present (from Company A). For 2009 we filed my W2 and 2009 income tax return. They didn't ask for 2009.
What should I do? Should I say that I don't have the pay stubs (implicit recognition I didn't maintain status), explaining that I indeed got an offer, and all the reasons for the delay?, or try to ask my ex employer if they give me a letter indicating I'm still her employee (I doubt they will do that, but I can try).
What are my options/risks; deportation for instance? Should I leave the country immediately?

But I definitely want to send Condi a letter reminding her of the contributions of the skilled legal immigrant community to the thriving US economy since ages.
Its because of us skilled immigrants that economy is thriving. Even the US business leaders accept that. We have the skills to setup new companies and create new jobs for everyone.

Check the update provided by "abuddyz".
Nopes, in my case the officer was polite and just asked what my previous status was, to which I said "H1". I asked him if I will lose my H1 status when I enter on AP and he said yes, which was true as your new visa status becomes "Parolee". You can still work on H1 without using EAD, which is what I am doing now.
Its ok and legal to use your AP to travel back. See this recent Murthy Bulletin http://murthy.com/mb_pdf/032108_P.html
I still don't have an answer to my original question, anybody ?

Hi ,
My wife's name was wrong in the EAD card we got recently , my attorney doesnt want to fix this , we called USCIS and they have asked to sent a new 765 along with old form having the name right ( jus to proove its not our fault ) and the EAD card . Should we send the supporting documents any similar experiences ??
Thanks
