All those who answered were right! You don't have to reapply H4 for your dependants when you change employers as long as their current status is still valid. I changed employers in 2004 and didn't have to apply new H4 for my family until 2006 when their previous status expired.
On another note, one does not need a new visa stamp in passport when one changes employers until current visa stamp expires.
I hope this puts your mind at rest. You may however want to confirm this with your lawyer and post his answer.

Good to hear this....though I am :mad:.......i am really happy that i have my lovely wife...kids....home...etc.....nothing wrong in my life....if i have the gc i will be more happy....
Ok i have to do this.
Difference between genius and ordinary is the former will understand without experiencing. Latter needs to experience to realise.
Having a perfect health, family and yet looking for this materialistic paper to make you more happy. Beats me.
How about this?. I will trade my GC to you , would you chop one of your legs for me?.
Health is the biggest wealth. Be happy with what you have. Focus on better things which will improve the life of your family and make them happy. Focus on things in your control.

Hi Zooom Can you please let me know what you have done in this case.Even i have the same problem.
I'm presently on H4 in US and have got the H1B visa approval(Mostly I would get the I94 and wouldn't require stamping unless i leave USA) . Due to personal reasons I need to travel to India planning to go to India.
I would like to get the visa stamped in Tijuana before I go to India.
I have not yet started working with my employer.Infact I did not get my H1B approval papers yet nor have SSN till now.(approval of H1B is on Oct 16th 2007)
Since October has been crossed and i dont have a paystub(since my approval is late) my question is are there problem if the consulate officer asks about why i have come for stamping even before starting the job (since i have 194) and what if he asks for paystubs as iam going after october 1st.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks in Advance

Do you know the story of the crow getting to the water by putting pebbles into the jug which had very little water?
Well, here we are: the water is IV's target...the pebbles are the contributions ($200, great, but $20, still good!!) from a large number of members. It's impossible to justify why one can not contribute $200 when the core members and some others like you & anurakt have given so much more. I believe it is equally important to encourage as many members to contribute as much they can.
No contribution is too small if it is actually made. An ounce of action is better than a pound of intention!
Some legislative action is expected in Feb. Money will be needed immediately. I don't think $20/month is the answer.
I think $200 is a very reasonable amount based on the cause. Life is not a charity.
You should pay a total of $200 immediately if you have paid less then $200.

Hi
My wife have H1B approved in 2005.Her stamping was refused on 226(g) section.She came to u.s.a on H4.Now her employer has applied for premium H4 to H1 transfer for her.
We didnot hear anything from them.It is already 2 weeks.
If it goes through.Does she need to go back for stamping to start working.
How the things will be?
How long the process will take (transfer)
If the attorney can help me in this,it is really great and appreicable
thanks
srinivasa
What is 226(g) section? Can you elaborate on why was H1 stamping denied even when you had H1 approval.

This is a link to other races in the DC area: I have never run a race; so I plan on running one of the 5K races in May or June and maybe try one of the 10K races in August. I am sure there are other races abound in summer. If there are others who are apprehensive about running the 10miler (like me).........you might want to try doing something similar.

Personally this is what I think: we should ask Mr. Gotcher to help us on a pro bono basis as a favor. At the same time, let him know that we will collect contributions from willing members and all will go to him to cover his expenses. I suggest this for a couple of reasons. First, raising money can take time. And we don’t know how many are willing to contribute. We may be stuck here posting “come on guys we have $3k we need another $2k before anything gets done”. Also, I think a lot more people will be happy to put in their money when they see some actions and movements. This way work can get started soon.

This is actually a very good idea. Maybe not 10% even 25% is fine.
This way microsoft, oracle etc. can get their workers.
Even Deloitte, PWC they hire americans and pay you when you're on bench.
Unlike most indian consulting companies, which don't pay you when you're on bench and make you lie on your resume.
Why to you want to discriminate between one set of companies from another set of companies? In effect, discriminate between employees of one set of companies with the employee of other set of companies? Let me guess, you do not work for one set of companies but may possible work for another set of companies, right? I see some posts on the forum want to change the system as to best suitable their individual situation and they don't care if rest of the world is screwed.
With the green card backlogs, a lot of companies have many employees on H-1B status, waiting for their green card. As such the ratio of people on H1 to green card is increasing. Why do you want to punish the employee on H1, waiting for the green card for many years, because of retrogression? I am not able to understand the objective and rationale of your suggestion?
This bill is not just about limiting the % of employees on H1. It also says that employers will be "investigated" and "audited". "Investigation" is done when there is an allegation of a wrong-doing. So in essence, the bill says that as soon as you employ someone on H1, you have done something wrong. Even after listing the job on DOL website for 30 days and going through all the other stringent requirements, is that how it should be? When an employer hire an employee on H1, the employer is paying filing fee, lawyer’s fee and 8-10% taxes for hiring each employee. This "Investigation" and other stringent provisions to make it impractical to file H1 is simply to destroy H1 program. For now you may see the bill as to how it best suits your individual situation and then you may suggest how it further fit exactly into your situation before coming with an idea, like the one you suggested, but the bottom line is, this bill makes entire H1 program "non-workable" as mentioned by the administrator. And it applies to Oracle & IBM Consulting, PWC, Deloitte and every other employer.

Lets not get stuck in debating and talking all the new news about legislation being introduced, Skil/CIR. The most important thing is to create awareness about problems we are facing (EB immigrants).
Time again we have seen that because of low awareness amongst all the peoples-reps (congressmen, senators, all others) our provisions have been dropped at the last minute.
The need of the hour is to keep working together as a unified team, we all do a good job as a team. We have seen that during the lame duck and also before in May, 2006.
IV core as a team exactly knows what is best for all of us. We have to trust them and help them do their thing, meanwhile we can all concentrate on
1)raising awareness, writing op/eds. writing to editors
2) Inviting other people who are stuck like us (to be IV members). Strength is in the numbers.
3) Creating a huge fund to help lobby/or other such activity that we need it for.
Some new members might doubt the intentions and the commitment of the core team. Also it is very easy to be skeptical of people asking for funds. When I was new to the IV team, I had the intitial skepticism about people on the forum asking for funds and contributing. It took me a good 2 weeks of being a guest on the site to register and then another 10-12 days to give my first contribution. So from that standpoint, I know that new people on the forum are going to take some time to trust IV and have faith in the core leadership. All we can do is to get new members (So many thousands stuck in retrogression). New members inturn will become active in a short time, Bigger and stronger IV with a 10,000+ membership will ensure being noticed and also will have the required funds to make it happen this year.

IVians,
Need help on the following the questions.
Present status: Spouse (Wife) of a H1B holder (Husband) currently working on H1B.
1. If wife resigns (reason being pregnant and can�t work, FMLA is not an option) would she immediately loose her status as H1B? Would her status be H4?
2. Presently wife has SSN, bank account, credit card etc., so what would happen to those if she falls back to H4?
3. If she wants to get back to a separate similar job, would she be subject to new H1B quota for which she has to wait till 10/2009 � 11/2009 or her new H1B be a case of transfer?
Please share your experience/knowledge. Thanks.

Some porter gave me red on this post.
You will understand later my brother. After you get the GC when you look back. You will say to yourself "Wow, I was being so small and petty minded: I was bashing up real people for a piece of plastic". That is the time we can meet and be friends
Value of a "person" will be known when he is gone. But the worthlessness of material thing gets realized when it actually comes. Character of a person is truly tested during trying times. May you reminisce about it later and wonder why didn't you do better
Good luck. And BTW I was not the guy who gave you red.
About this message: It's not just for MC, but many,many more of you. Is it really important that you won the race in life, more than how people remember you? I am not "targeting" anyone in particular, just indulging myself with some philosophy. Peace.

Instead of writing a letter, why not start with a phone call. Find out a bit about the staff ahead of time (Google, Linkedin, etc.) and then call the person that is most likely to be helpful. Then ask for a meeting.
