Here are my thoughts...
1. You can get copies of your H1 approvals from your previous employers.
2. When USCIS talks about I-94, it usually is the bottom copy of the H1-B approval( some one, please correct me here)
3.USCIS, usually has all this information in their DB...so if they are still asking the same information, then is it possible that one of the other 4 questions is driving this?
Please keep in mind, if you are legally in this country all the while, then there is very little to panic. Don't worry...
if it helps any:)
Gurus,
I have received an RFE asking for 5 different things. one of them is asking for evidence of work status since the day I came to US first time. Now, while going through my H1 approvals, i came across something that seems a little wierd, but i have emails from those days to tell me that i was in clear legal territory. however, given that i have this rfe, i want to run this by you gurus...
i was with one of the big indian IT firms when i came to US. my first h1 approval expired on Jun 2004 and the next one from the same company was valid from the very next day to nov 2006. However, I applied for H1 transfer in nov 2004 (got receipt notice in nov2004) and then started working for a desi consulting company in Dec 2004. The H1 transfer approval came along in Feb 2005 with "approved from" date as Feb 14 2005. So for the period between Dec 13 2004 and Feb 14 2005 when I was working with the desi consulting company based on a H1-Transfer receipt notice, what is my legal status? I know for sure and have emails from the employer confirming that it was ok to work on a receipt notice without actual approval in hand... but my memory fails me for now... so, how is this supposed to work? any ideas?

If you don't have revenue, then financial statements from banks, venture capital funding agreements and OEM agreements will work. The company simply has to prove that they are in a position to pay you. Revenue numbers don't mean much. Remember that a company can have revenue but still is not be making any profit.
Andy
One thing I have not been able to understand re: RFE and ability to pay etc. is
if cash in bank is good enough or if revenue/profits are important as well.
THe startup I am considering is still in the phase of developing a new product (hence no revenues) but have a good amount of seed money in the bank.

Dear Attorneys,
I am on H1B and July-2007 I-485 filer. I've maintained H1B status and have not used EAD/AC21. I'm getting married in January-2010 and just want to make sure to add my future wife to the AOS application after we get married. If I voluntarily withdraw my I-485, and continue on H1B status, can I file I-485 again at a later stage. Will the withdrawal of my AOS application negatively affect my chances to get green card in the future.
Appreciate your response.
THANK YOU
Ronhira,
I am in a similar situation as you are wrt to applying AOS for spouse. Why do you want to withdraw your I-485 ? You can always add your spouse to your AOS application when dates become current for you, rt ? Even if your AOS is approved you can still apply for AOS of spouse within 180 days of your AOS approval. The only caveat is that you should have been married before your AOS approval date. The only risk in this scenario is if USCIS approves your AOS application when your PD is not current, in that case you cannot apply for AOS of spouse and she goes out of status. The chances of this happening (AOS getting approved when PD is not current) is pretty rare or low.
I would like to know your thoughts on withdrawing I-485.

THis is what I posted in the comments:
"To All the Anti-Legal-Immigrants:
We are not asking that America change its immigration laws.
All we are saying is that America and its nodal agency for immigration matters (USCIS), has already approved our petitions for legal immigration. They also stated that on July 2 you can apply for green card based on that approved petition, and then they flip-flopped on July 2.
We love the United States and thats why we are here to contribute and live the American Dream. We ask the federal government to show that it is really the leader of the free world, to stop this flip-flop and honor its word to legal immigrants.
And btw, we are not cheap labor stealing your jobs. We are working on the bleeding edge of technology and science to make America globally competitive and the world a better place to live.
We speak the language of chipsets, enterprise software systems, biochemical and biomedical technologies, neural networks, AI, fuzzy control systems,
composite materials, nano technology, cancer and AIDS research etc. etc.
Finally, we are not stealing your jobs, we are already living in the US and working on our jobs legally for the lat 5-10 years. To send us back will mean the opposite of what you desire, it would mean shipping your jobs to overseas locations."

USCIS hate people filed between July 2nd to 17. because they believe we joined AILA to file lawsuit against them. They have a long memory.
Like I said before, everyone will get receipt. for the rest of July 2nd filer, it will take another 2 months.
However, get receipt, FP, EAD, and AP not mean you got GC.
This time, our group July 2nd filers got selected and are unlucky one.
USCIS has long memory, and they random select victims, so maybe you will be selected for GC.
Do you have a proof for your argument or is it just your opinion?
I probably am in the same situation as you, but it is hard to believe your claims.

Folks,
I echo Walking Dude's comment. You can either keep complaining about how the immigration system is failing you and how unfair it is OR you can take action and actually DO something about it. Please participate in IV's campaign if you haven't already done so. AND please motivate OTHERS to participate as well. It will only take 10 minutes of your time.
True. No need posting I cant believe uscis crap dos crap recession crap etc etc. Time for action.

Getting the copy from USCIS is not all that time consuming. Start by filing your PERM through your new company. It takes 3-4 months for it to get approved. Most probably by that time you will get the copy from USCIS. Even if you don't get it, go ahead and file an I-140. You can always port the PD later.
Another option might be to offer your old company some money like say $1000 for a copy of the I-140. Depending on how acrimonious your departure was, they might accept it or they might not.
Yeah! I am going to do that.Also my company is going to file for perm probably in next week.
The thing is if I am not sure how much he will ask for. If he asks too much I am not sure wheather I should give that much money. Because if the CIR passes then even if my PD is old ,still my new LC will be invalid with this new company.(Because of 15'th may deadline). So paying too much money might be like playing a lottery. Chances are I might loose. Am I correct?
Also with that form I never seen a single person said "he successfully ported the PD" . But still I will give a TRY.
Thank you for the help.
I can't join the old employer due to family reasons. unfortunatelly due to circumstances That's just not an option for me.

I support this. Can IV Core provide some input and insight into this idea and also the recent memo that emerged on on AoS.
Thanks!!
Raji
I am not usually not a nay sayer. But with CIR discussion around corner, it is an easy shot to say wait for your turn. So could have been this E-Verify, But our rightwing friends did a very hard sell (Look at their websites with banners to call etc.) and I think administration supported it in private because that is going to put pressure on House Democrats and conservatives from south. They will have to face angry hispanics next year if house fails CIR this time. With strict E-Verify and tough economy they are going to face bad time and will boot out all the Nay sayers for CIR in next election.
I think we need to wait and watch.
Besides If they try to attach our provisions in this omnibus, CHC very well know that they can kiss a good bye to CIR for good. So they will do their best to take ouir provisions for hostage. My 2 cents!!!..
If they attach our provisions though, I will be very happy..
Thanks!!

This is what is going on, per my understanding:
- After recent acquisitions of "do-nothing" Congress by major media publications like NYT etc, politicians want to "do" something. That something is the "New" border enforecement bill that might be passed by the Congress.
- This bill will/ should HAVE most SKIL bill provisions
- This is a lame duck session so there isn't much that can be done after this happens. This is plain political posturing. It would be a miracle if a conference is called to resolve this New border enforcement bill and the CIR bill. Highly unlikely.
- Status-quo. Nothing happens before election.
- Democrats take Congress. Movement on immigration next year. Added momentum because of Presidential elections in 2008.
-Incase, Republicans retain congress same scenario but slower progress.

I just went to India last month on 28th for visa stamping.
It was very good experience. I had purchased VFS coupons for 200 INR so that I can stay relax, put my luggage in clock room, have a snack.
They took us to US consulate in BUS. After security check and fingure print, I waited for name to be called. They called my name after half an hour. I was prepared for interview. But all he said - your visa is granted. He didn't ask me single question or not asked me to show any document.
On same day, I went to VFS office and stood in line from 4 p.m. . Finally they started giving passport at 5. I got mine around 5.30.
Whole experience was too good.
__________________________________________________ _______________
Keep in mind that VFS office need your documents before 3 business days. If you get appointment and not able to submit documents on time your case will come as no show up and it will take 2 business days to after your original appointment to have receipt activited. You will need to go to VFS office and actviate receipts again.
I am assuming that this is in Mumbai since Chennai does not collect docs in advance (atleast till Nov 1, 2007).
