This is not correct. you can apply for 1 year extensions if you have applied for 485 and is pending.
not true. For H1 extension you only need an LC >365 days old, or I-140 approved. Just 485 pending does not matter.
If your I-140 is approved and your PD is not current, you will get a 3 year extension irrespective of 485 filing or not. This has also been confirmed by the USCIS in its recent FAQs.
If your LC is >365 days old you get a 1 year extension.

Unless, people realize that it is in their interest to spread this grass root effort it is all futile. Do you guys really think that distributing fliers by four guys at the parade is going to make a difference.
Though I really commend what these guys did and they were truly heroes but if I were them, then based on the turn out (only 4 people) I would have decided to go back.
After all, these were not doing only for themselves but for every one else too.
What a pitty! :mad:

You can see many denials for 3 year degree people in various forums including IV.
I have one copy of the denial of my friend in hand. (AAO appeal in progress) It is 3+1+2=6, still they denied for EB2.
.....
You have not still answered my question for official source or link for your claim. I don't care how third party evaluator evaluates. I have seen so many varying evaluations done.
By theoritical no problem, if you have credits equal to US bachelors and masters degrees.....
Also, your calculation 3+1+2=6 is incorrect. Since this is BSc+BEd+MSc. For MSc, BEd is not needed and therefore you can't add time spent for BEd. Just like two BSc degrees do not make it equivalent to MSc.
If this one year program is not BEd, but "post graduate" diploma, still it is not going to work, since that "diploma" is not required for MSc.

Hi,
I was in a similar situation back in 2006. I got my visa stamping for my future H1-B but at the POE, the officer stamped my I-94 only till the end of current H1-B. But he mentioned that I can go to the nearby CBP office and get it changed once my current H1-B expires. And I did exactly the same. No issues.
Go ahead and enjoy your vacation.
Thanks!

I looked at converting to RIR but there seems to be no point in changing. There is no guarantee that an RIR application will be processed before an TR. Also, they are picking up applications in random order and not FIFO. So, I decided against the conversion.

I have contacted Gowda himself and he seems very responsive and helpful. Fees sound pretty reasonable as well. I have been thinking of using him for my H-1B renewal.
Anybody else has experience with him?

Although this type of mistake on the I-94 would be an issue of you were solely maintaining H-1B status, because you are considered to be in the U.S. in an authorized period of stay as an Adjustment of Status (AOS) Applicant, the incorrect date on the I-94 should not present a problem for you. Technically your period of authorized stay as an AOS applicant can only end once your AOS application is adjudicated, so the dates listed on the I-94 cards for AOS Applicants are always somewhat arbitrary to begin with. Customarily AOS applicants are issued I-94 cards that are valid for a one-year period, however, if for instance, that year ends, and the I-94 �expires�, the AOS Applicant would still be maintaining valid status so long as the AOS application remains pending.
In any event, we are not sure if the CPB Deferred Inspection unit will correct this because of the situation above, and we do not feel that the correction is necessary. In addition to continuing to be in period of authorized status as an AOS Applicant, you also have a valid I-797 for H-1B status, and even though you re-entered the U.S. on Advance Parole, you are still eligible for employment pursuant to the H-1B petition.

Isnt your case within USCIS processing range within the 30 day range? Did you file at NSC or TSC.
My case is similar..but I filed in late July 07....I feel the pain.....but having waited sooooooo long...whats a few more months.
Right now, in the employment category EB2 India with PD < Apr 04 are the only ones they can process...hopefully USCIS officers can scratch their asses half the time and still approve atleast a few cases.
Lets just wait. (nothing new there right !!!!)

if you qualified and filed for 485 depending on your PD, you most probably will get only 1 year extension. I just filed mine May 29th for 3 years and filed my 485 June 8th but when approved I got my H1 extension approved only for 1 year. I may be wrong, just referencing what my lawyer said..
Before they used to approve one or three years based on either Receive Date or
approval date (random) of your H1 extension application.
But in the latest FAQ http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/EBFAQ1.pdf (question 17),
they announced that if your PD is not current at the time of your *date of filing/received date*, they will give
you three years extension.
I applied my extension on July 9th thinking that my PD is not current based on July 2nd VB. :(
Now it seems I get only one year extension.

To bring more details to my question:
a) Though my job title is like programmer analyst, my SOC job code is given as 17-2071.00 which is "Electrical Engineer"
I was never an electrical engineer (not even by my education). I do not know why the original filer used such a SOC code. Now my new role (lead technical architect) will have a SOC code as 15-1031 as that is for computer architect.
Morever my new employer will not provide me a Ac21 portability matching my labor cert.
My role responsibility is following as per labor cert.
Job Title: Programmer/ Analyst/Systems, Software/Engineer/Developer, or Related to IT
Reponsibility:
develop, create and modify general computer application software. Analysis user needs and design, develop software solutions. Design, develop, analyse and implement software and end user product. Coordinate various account projects with IT consultants; nurture close relationship with the major account customers by providing quality technical support and apply principles of computer science, engineering and mathematical analysis.
Do you feel that changing the job as lead architect willl be a paradigm shift for me causing my GC gone denied?
Thankis in advance.

Your's is a tricky situation.
First gather all the documents you have and would be necessary to convince the consular...to prove yours is a minor offence and done with out much knowledge of the system... blah blah blah...
Secondly, find out how long the offence will stay in your record...no clue what you did and don't want to know either.
Third, weigh your options...and take a risk if you should.
I am an F1 grad student - I was planning on going home this winter, and while there I would have to renew my visa so as to be able to re-enter the US.
However, while filling out the forms to set up an appointment for the renewal interview, I remembered that I had a misdemeanor conviction (I pled guilty) for bad checks (this was a very long time ago, about 6 years - it was a bad time, I made some mistakes). When I say 'yes', on the DS-156 form, in response to the question regarding criminal convictions, how likely is it that I will have my visa renewed? Isn't is usually the case that consular officers are looking for any reason to deny visas/renewals?
It seems like my only option is to postpone/cancel my trip, if I want to be able to come back to complete my studies.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
