TN Denied
Hello: I had applied for the TN Visa a few years ago but was unfortunately denied at the border.
The denial was based on a couple of reasons. The job description I had provided to the border agent did not match the description of the TN - Computer Systems Analyst description and I did not have the required education. I had one year Post-graduate diploma certificate and 3+ years experience but it was not sufficient.
This time around I had an opportunity to complete a two year post-secondary diploma in business information systems. Do I now meet the basic requirements for TN? Thanks
H1B for my employees
Hi Rajeev,
We started Software consultancy in August 2008,last year we had 3 employees,this year we have 15 consultants working for us, They all are working for large software company(90000 employees), but I don't have direct vendorship with that company, we have one middle vendor, middle vendor company also very big(2000+ employees),
with January 8th employee/employer memo, I am not sure what I have to do about H1B for my employees,There is any chance if i file H1B for my employees, that would be approved, or we must have direct vendorship with end client to file H1B?
H1B for my employees
Madhu, direct vendorship is not required. But a letter from the end-client would help tremendously. Read this article: http://www.immigration.com/sites/default/files/ALI-ABA_H-1Art_2009Oct.pdf

H2-B visa
Hi, I'm on a J-1 visa right now, but I leave the US in 16 days. I have a job offer to come back and work here, can I apply for the H2-B visa before I leave the US? So that I could come back right away? Or don't even needing to get off the the country? Thanks.
H-2B Visa
Assuming you have no home residency requirement, you can start the H-2B process even while you are here in USA.

F1 visa to business visa or H1/L1
Which visa is easy to apply. Is it business visa or h1 visa
F1 visa to business visa or H1/L1
If you qualify, H and L visas are certainly more secure than an F visa.

Visa O renovation
My husband used to have visa O for 2 or 3 years, and we decide to come back to Mexico in 2001, now we want to come back to USA, could you renovate this visa or is easy apply for new different visa? He has a BA in Spanish Literature and I have BA in psychology, we have one eighteen and one 15 years old sons and 1 year old baby girl, and we live in Canada right now.
Renewing O-1 visa
You will need to have the employer apply for a new O-1 petition with USCIS, Norma.

H-1B filing
Sir,
I need your help.
I like to file for H-1B this year on EB2 catagory
I work as an accountant with masters degree.
I am on pending I -485 staus. I filed my greencard with EB3 in 2006 and it is taking too much time.
Somebody told me that I should be on different status than pending GC. Please let me know how much should be the prevailing wage, now I am working for 43,000 a year, because I did not have much experience. Can I work part time for H-1 ? or it should be full time. I am already working full time for my prior employer. How many hours do I have to wotk for my prior employer?
H-1B/EB-2/Prevailing Wages
Tanka, there are too many holes in your information. I cannot provide you meaningful advice here. H-1B is not filed under EB-2 or EB-3 category. Those are applicable only to green cards. Prevailing wages for a job depend upon where you work and what you do. You can see this information here http://www.flcdatacenter.com/
I think you should discuss your case in detail with your lawyers or arrange for a formal consultation with us through the "contact us" link on top of the page.

Employer-employee memo
Rajiv ji, I'm a consultant and I have a letter from Prime vendor saying my employer has total control over me, including placements, a client letter which does not identify my employer, just verifying my contract, a few propriety training documents from my employer related to my work I do at client, timesheets I submitted to my employer for last 3 years. I also report to my employer on a weekly basis through phone. Is it safe for me to go India for visa extension stamping and coming back? Please advise. Thanks so much

Working visa
Luis, read up on H-1B, L-1A and L-1B visas. They seem to be the most obvious choices.

H1B layoff, H1B transfer-RFE raised, New H1B approved
Hello,
I was laid off by Company A on August 14th. I found a job with company B on October 14th. A transfer of H1B was filed by company B, but an RFE was raised asking me to prove that I had maintained my status. Since, I had no way of proving that I had maintained my status, a new H1B was filed by company B. The new H1B was approved. I have my stamping interview in 3 days. What kind of questions should I be prepared to answer? I am concerned that they might not approve my case. Please help!!URGENT!
H1B layoff, H1B transfer-RFE raised, New H1B approved
Merely being out of status is no ground for visa denial in your circumstances. Tell the truth. You should be ok on the status issue.

Regarding H1B Stamping Documents
Hi,
I went to the USA in Fall, 2007 for my masters in computer science. I graduated in May, 2009 and got full-time job in a small company. They filled for my H1B and I got approval 2 months back. Now, I plan to come to Delhi in December for 3 weeks, to get my H1B stamped and go back to work. Can you please provide me a list of documents required for my case and what documents I should ask my employer to provide me? Also, is 3 weeks sufficient to get everything done. Thanks.
Regarding H1B Stamping Documents
Sharma ji, the consular web sites have complete, current list of documents and procedures. But they can ask for pretty much anything and can delay you for months, if they so choose.

Received H1B
I have received H1B (Notice of Action). I am an MBA graduate and have an experience about 2.5 years of Managerial level. But very recently I had to discontinue my job. Could I apply for visa interview with such condition?
H-1B Visa without a job
I am not clear about the facts of your case. If you are outside USA or wish to go outside USA and are asking whether you can apply for a visa stamp without a job, the answer is no.
