"creative' would still be illegal
Neither you nor your wife are allowed to violate your 'H' status.
That would include a home based business.
You are only allowed to work for your employer (the H1 petitioner), and your wife is not allowed to work at all.
This is not an issue of whether or not you report the income, nor whether a form asks for an SSN or not. It doesn't even really depend on if there is any income generated.
You cannot WORK at any thing that is not listed on your H1. this includes babysitting and mowing other people's lawns.
about the only legitimate 'home-based' activity is going to school (allowed on H1 and H4) and occasional passive investing in companies .
the statement is not entirely true. You are free to open your one-man corporation as long as you don't get paid. As a business owner you can employ workers or nobody as long as the cash flow remains in the business rather than in the form of your own paycheck.
a friend of mine, prior to getting his GC, opened his own consulting firm while working for some other company. He didn't have tax problems and in fact, he was able to take advantage of the tax benefit. Loophole or whatever, he did deduct quite a lot of car/computer/tech books/equipment depreciation, namingly business expenses. I don't think that was proper but that's what his accountant did on his returns. The morale of the story, you can oopen your own business but better talk to an immigration lawyer and an accountant.

I came through JFK two weeks back. I used AP and no questions were asked. The officer was confused that my AP was expiring in 2 weeks and I have not used it at all. In the secondary inspection, the officer could'nt understand that I have not received my green card yet since my 485 has been pending for 6 years now. I got to explain to him about the delay for EB3 I and visa numbers. Nothing else was asked.

Agree: I also strongly suspect that honoring the RD is BS that USCIS is dishing out. I feel they are selecting cases based only on ND and approving them randomly since all their systems, tracking, receipt # seems to be based on ND and not RD. Historically the ND and RD were only a few days away from each other and so it didn't matter - but thats another fight.
However, there have been approvals with dates starting src 08******

Is changing the status to H4 mandatory?
Can she not just start using EAD?
Can she not remain without job and still maintain H1-B Status?
As per below link
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=a62bec897643f010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=1847c9ee2f82b010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD
Thanks for your reply.
I don't think she can do that legally. I think being on H1b status without work is more of an issue for an Employer.....Employer is bound to pay minimum prevailing wage to H1b worker according to her H1b petition, that may be the reason why they want to cancel her H1. If they do that than she has to transfer to some other status(H4 or EAD).......One more thing, Use of EAD invalidate H status.

Email sounds very sincere and honest. Thanks Richard!
4-5 months ago, I sent a similar one through WhileHouse.gov. Outcome: I'm subscribed to their emails everyday:)
Guys, let's not discourage and denigrate people who try something, It speaks low of ourselves.

Only the old passport would be cancelled not any valid visa's within the old passport. Just use both passports for travel from now on and you should be fine.
Hi,
My passport was expiring in Dec 2009. My H1-B visa tht is stamped on this passport expires in Sept 2011.
I am currently in india and have applied for a Passport renewal. The passport officer cancelled my old one and is going to send me the new one, which will have a different passport number. My questions are:
1) Since my Visa is stamped in the old passport which is now cancelled, will it be a problem during the port of entry?
2) How should i inform USCIS about my new passport # (or do i need to?)
Has anyone been in this situation before?
Thanks in advance.

Can you tell me when you applied for extension and if it was processed by VSC and transfered to California or Texas. How long did it take for the whole process.
Anyone who knows, can you tell me how long they have been doing background checks on H1 extensions.
Thanks

My wife had the same issue 2 year ago. Couldnt start a project coz they needed SSN for background checks. I contacted the Congressman's office and they inturn called the DHS and SSN office and made the SSN office talk with DHS. That speeded up the process. Hope your brother will get it soon... I know the pain.

No offense. But I see that the poster has only 1 post & that is the one he posted today. Wonder if this id was created just for the purpose of amusement, that one would derive in reading the various comments that would result from such a post.
I know that today is friday and all but come on.
Again. No offense. In my opinion everyone who logs onto the internet has multiple personalities.

Humbly request to be civil while posting :-)

Kudos for visiting the senator's office. Highly appreciated.
Politics Rule #1: No permanent friend or foes.
Politics Rule #2: No concrete stance on a any issue. Keep changing according to demands by "Polity".
Who is the polity? WE, intending legal immigrants, are ALSO polity, just like the "undocumented".
If you met a staffer a Sen. Feinstein's office who was anti-legal lets edcuate that person. PM the admin/pappu with details of your experience.
Again thank you for taking the time to lobby!

Who needs GC
If people think that life back in india or in their home country is better than the US then why are they lining up in the GC queue.
Do not take GC as convenience, it has much more value.. Your children are safe, You do not have to bribe the telephone, electricity department to provide the facilities to your house in America. Basic necessities are provided without any hassle
1)The world economy runs on the US economy.
2) OIL is traded in US dollars and will always be that way so that there is always a flow and need of the dollar.
3) Oil is the cheapest in this country except the oil bearing countries.
4)You have jobs in every field here. In India the IT sector is coming up. Other sectors are at the same level.
The list is long so .... It is not a convenience...
The best point brought about in this whole discussion. We all know getting a GC is not easy. Its harder than it should be and contradictory to the principles that shapes the US. It is enscribed on Lady Liberty "Bring your tired, your sick, your meek and your poor... etc." Now it seems like, "we don't even want your most talented to stay here.. they can work here.. but that's about it..."
We all want a GC for the convenience of Travel, career mobility, global mobility and for the lifestyle that comes with all of those things. The US has its problems, but you will get steady power, steady water, safe roads, advancement opportunities, entrepreneurial opportunities, etc.
Let me tell you how it works in a former Soviet republic... if the power is on - great, its off - horrible.. if you want to live anywhere remotely liveable with amenities you will pay an arm and a leg... you want to take out your savings - tough break, the bank CFO is actually an Assemblyman's son and he has wired all Deposit interest accounts to a Zurich and has himself fled; someone hits your car because they ran a stop sign - you are out of luck because that guy knows the prosecutor's son and all of a sudden you are at fault and have to pay for his car, you want to start your business - prepare to pay bribes to government inspectors every month otherwise they will bust you, prepare for a 90% tax bracket, prepare for some oligarch to come along and offer you cents on the dollar for your business and muscle you right out..
THe list can go on forever... we all want a green card so that we and our offspring and eve relatives have a better life... should it be easier? YES! But we have to deal with what we have and use the system to our advantage..

I know it is frustrating for you, me and all of us. IV team is working hard in the background. I am not speaking for IV but this is my personal observation. While convincing the house about our provisions has been an uphill task, IV has been in the past assured that at the appropriate moment, IV's provisions will be considered in the bill but the chances of our provision(s) in the secure fence bill seem remote at this time. The reason is that once the lawmakers become accomodative to hear and consider our provisions there are 40 other parties working to get their's included as well.. the list is long... At this time the lawmakers are looking at putting the secure fence act on the president's table and would avoid having any differences on the congress and senate versions to avoid a conference. Thus they can go back to voters saying that they are working hard to secure the borders.
All that is happening at this time is election time rhetoric. No one is touching the very sensitive issue of Immigration reforms going in to the election. Everybody who matters in the DC circle wants a status quo to be maintained and spin it in the direction of " Lets secure the borders first".
Lets keep trying from all angles... media, meet the lawmakers, faxes, letters, news papers articles..atleast this is a lot better than keeping our hands folded and getting frustrated as months and years go by.
