I'm coming to the US for the first time on H1B. Do I need a one way or a return ticket? My travel agent told me that since I have a multiple entry visa (expiring on Oct 2011) a return ticket is not required unless I need to travel back home within one year. Could someone with knowledge about this issue help me out. I would really appreciate a reply from someone who recently landed in the US on H1B.
Thanks
Ticket does not matter if you are on H1B - one way should be fine.

Query on behalf of a friend -
What are the timelines for I-539 Change of Status for H1 to H4?
Is premium processing option available for the this change of status?
Friend worked till last week of pregnancy (clean H1 history before). Her 12 weeks of maternity leave is ending soon and looks like the family needs to pay attention to child's condition and she has no choice but to become a full-time mom (another full-time job in itself though). She was in status during her maternity leave (some part of which was covered by STD insurance, remaining unpaid leave totaling 12 weeks under FMLA). She needs to change her status from H1 to H4.
- File for H1-H4 ASAP with in the unpaid leave window
- No premium processing available for H4

Washington DC has declared Sept 18 as car-free day encouraging commuters to leave car at home. For details see link below:
http://www.wmata.com/about/met_news/story.cfm?ID=1461
This suggests that on Tuesday car traffic in DC area may be less than normal, and public parking may be relatively easier to find. Normal daily parking is $12 to $16 within 1/2 mile of Washington Monument (familiar vertical landmark). Never-the-less, if possible, Metro rail is the hassle-free choice.

Dear all:
May I ask what I should do in the following situation?
I hold F1 visa and my new job starts on Sept 1. The int'l student office of my current university mistakenly set my OPT start date on May 6. My OPT has been approved and EAD card arrived.
That is, I will have 120-plus "unemployment" days accumulated by early August, which will then violate the "90-day unemployment rule" of OPT.
I am under tremendous pressure and really want to hear your opinions.
Many thanks in advance!

Gurus,
I am in a process of getting name change for my wife on pending I485. This is because her first name is given as 'FNU' by USCIS on the I485 file, EAD and A.P. As she did not have first name in passport.
We recently got her name change on passport by adding my(husbands name) as SURNAME. Now we want to refelect this change on EAD and 485.
For this amendment my lawyer is charging $400.
I want to know, if we can do this amendment on our own and avoid lawyer. Do any one on this forum know how to deal with this situation. Please let me know.
Your answers are highly appriciated.
Thanks,
hydubadi

Can anyone tell me after my 6th year of H1 i have a 3 year extension of h1 visa, can i go to india and come back on that visa or do i need to have AP. I got my 140 approved and i got my 485 receipt notices.
you can use the visa, need not use AP if you dont want to. If you have a visa stamping already, using the H1 visa is the preferred way to return:
- you get an I-94 valid for 3 more years (with AP you get one for just one year, which is a bit weird)
- using AP atleast sometimes pushes you into secondary inspection which is another hour spent with the customs and border patrol folks. While they are typically nice and friendly, I personally hate being stuck in that no-mans land at the airport.
Only advantage of AP is if your GC is approved while you are abroad, you are supposed to return on AP as your H1 status would have ended. in practice people have re-entered on H1 in such cases and its been ok. Depending on your PD this may not may not be a concern

Hi Members,
I am pretty new to the forum. I thought you must be helpful answering my questions because attorneys in my company provided are not helpful.
My attorneys filed Labor with the missing job information like in the allien job experience section. i saw the the current job start date is wrong then the job 2 is put with the wrong dates. Job 3 is not there. I got a audit as ******** is my attorney as special audit. when I contacted they said its electronically filed then can't change. They will take care in later stage.Then THE LABOR IS CERTIFIED. Now I see nothing has been taken care. they are filing I-140.
Now my question is if i get RFE in I-140 in future and I send the experience letters obviously which will be different date( as labor is approved with aliens wrong info in experince).
PLEASE members let me know the complication.. am getting really worried..Let me know what to do.

Hi All,
Joined California based consulting company in mid 2006, got project in Maryland(MD). Worked in Maryland but CA company ran payroll on CA address. I have LCA for Maryland. End of year,2006 filed tax filing with CA state.
Project went till February,2008 they are running my pay stubs,W2 with CA address. I filed CA tax returns for year 2007 but stayed in Maryland.
Now my questions is I�m present in Maryland(LCA) but pay stubs,W2 are showing CA address. In demographic information form(g-325) which I address I need to use. Should I go with physical address(Maryland) or W2 address(CA).
I have no idea how to go about this, can you please advice how to present my case.
Thanks,
Sampath.
In G325, you should specify the address where you lived. On the other hand, though your W2 says CA address, you should have filed taxes with Maryland and filed taxes with CA as non-resident.

I usually spend some time every day at my San Francisco Bay Area immigration law office making inquires on pending cases. It is a frustrating process because I rarely receive answers and when I do, they usually are not helpful.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") has recently released guidance on how to make inquiries at their Service Centers (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/USCIS%20update.pdf). They provide a three step process. The first step is to call their National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283. If the issue is not resolved in 30 days, you proceed on to the next step which is to email the USCIS Service Center where your case is pending. The email addresses are:
California Service Center csc-ncsc-followup@dhs.gov Vermont Service Center vsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov Nebraska Service Center ncscfollowup.nsc@dhs.gov Texas Service Center tsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov (tsc.ncsfollowup@dhs.gov)
If there is no response to the email, you proceed to the last step which is to notify the USCIS Headquarters office of Service Center Operations by email at SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov. The notice indicates that you will receive a response from this email within ten days.
It remains to be seen whether this system actually works. I will try it out in a few cases and will report back what happens.

Hi, this is my first time in the forum and I wish to seek advice on my situation.
I'm a green card holder (singapore citizen) who got married while being a US PR. I wish to apply for my wife (singapore citizen) a green card.
How long is the typical wait? while applying, is it true that my wife can't enter the US?
I kind of know the answers but would like to confirm with this forum. I know the situation can be pretty bleak.
Many many thanks,
