If you had bothered to search these forums you would have got your answers in 5 minutes. However its just easier to ask something and sit there waiting, right? instead of reaching out, researching a bit?
Now that someone has answered your questions, would you consider atleast contributing (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15905) to IV? The same questions you have asked here, if you ask some of the good lawyers, would have cost you $300!
Please do not hurt any ones feelings and sentiments (think about your self in that situation and then answer.
People come to IV because they think that there are some good people who would suggest and help.
And please remember one thing, if you are in a hurry and dont have time. you would not think about browing or searching, but post your quesiton. And who knows he might have even done his browsing and asking for experts opinion.
And IV is an org and it at their wish and will of individual whether to contribute or not.
so please do not force any one.
Good luck to you.

In my instance I have been working with my current employer for past 5 years and this is 2nd H1B renewal with the same employer. It is sad that they have such a policy which discourages jobs in consulting sector.

My wife got her H1b in 2007 and she was working for the company for 1 year and then she delivered in Oct 08 and since Oct 2008 she's on maternity leave. She was supposed to join back but because of the downturn her employer asked to extend the maternity leave and its an year almost. During this whole period her employer is ok and he has not removed her job. Is my wife is in status? I read on the web that the maternity leave is mutual as long as the employer and employee exists its ok. But my question is that is there a time limit on that. Also she's not getting paid for the full year when she was on maternity leave. The state remains the same now also. So what are right steps to do.....
Change to H4 till the employer asks to join back and then change to H1?
Please suggest
As other posted mentioned, 6 months is ok and justifiable because most of the companies allow mothers to bond with the kid. 1 year seems a stretch! I agree with gcformeornot and my2cents, if you are unable to justify and prove the employer-employee relationship then she is out of status.

I think the starkness of the Cherry Creek Reservoir area makes it difficult to capture its charm. (I lived 1-2 miles away from there for 24 years.) If I still lived there, I would be concentrating more on the cloud formations (which you don't see in too many places) when using the 17-85 lens. I would also take a couple of shots of the same scene, one metered for the sky and another for the shadow areas and blend them in PS.

We should be allowed to participate.
We are legal immigrants and most importantly - tax payers, shouldn't that be enough??

Hi, I recently got a H1B extension stamping in Chennai consulate upto 2010 and I came back to SFO last week. Since my passport is expiring on July 2009. I-94 was issued upto July 2009.
Now my issue is to extend my I-94 upto the validity of H1B visa. I went through similar thread and it says crossing US border to Mexico or Canada will do to get the new I-94. So I am planning to make a trip to Mexico after my passport got renewed to renew I-94. Does it work?. Or do I have to go out of American Continent to get the new I-94. Some thread from (other sites) said, I need to go out American Continent..Is it true?.
Or is there any other way to extend my I-94 without crossing the border?.
Gurus - Please help if you faced any similar situation and sucessfully got your i-94 renewed.

I think you are absolutely right. Starting a business without a partnership is nearly impossible because you will be violating the H1 by working for it.
However, if you go into a partnership, that will be like owning stocks of a company. You don't have to work for it.
But you raise a good point about tax return scrutiny when you go for stamping. They can ask how you were making business income.
Has anyone here run a business on H1? What are the tax implications?
I have looked into this and talked to my lawyer. The basic consensus seems to be -- yes you can start your own business (wither alone or in partnership with someone else). But as long as you are on H1B VISA and do not have at least an EAD, you cannot actively(which means you cannot be running the day to day operations) work on your business. You can promote the business perform occasional volunteer work, but cannot be paid for this work.
I believe you can derive profits from the business (check with your lawyer because he's the one who will have to deal with any USCIS headaches), but as with all things, if the profits are high enough, your business may be scrutinized by the USCIS. Also remember when you go to the consulate to stamp your H1B, they will examine your tax records, and you will have to have a good enough explanation as to how you owned the business without violating the H1B status (by actively working on it). It's tricky and unless you are talking about small amounts of money think very carefully about starting your own business.
Since you cannot actively run the business, it makes sense to partner with a person who is authorized to run the day to day operations of the business (either a citizen of the US or a perm resident).

Most of the american students (not all) does not develop the attitude and key qualities required for Higher education in science and technology. As per my observation, lot of them seems to have high ambition, which is good, but no focus on means to achieve it.
Overall development of personality and physique is good but the psychological preparedness to tackle the technical and scientific problem is lacking at a high degree. This can be attributed to the basic education system where the focus is on external physical and social development and hence they have good qualities for marketing but majority of the folks fail to realize that and instead of finetunning the strengths the lack of focus keep then working on other aspects during entire teen years. This is where they need direction from education specialists.
This is in contrast to what we see in south east asian countries where the focus is not on external and physical development but on cultivation of attitude and psychological preparedness which turns the students into science and technology much more than sports and fashion.
Even now their standard set for 3rd grade and 5th graders are way too low compared to Asian and European 1st & 2nd grades. Whole number to fractions transition does not take 2 grades. But understandably so, sudden changes in education standards will be harder on kids in immediate generation as the base is not set. Next gen will benefit.
There are pros and cons in both the system but the key is what is needed for the economy. Right now it is science and techno graduates in US and their system does not support it. It is hard to make that shift but If they can successfully put it together, in next 20 years you will see a fair amount of science and technology graduates in US which will include US born kids generation of immigrant population.

My H1 and family's H4 non-premium extensions were applied on 10/12/07 and approved from Vermont last week on 1/10/08. Approvals not yet physically received. These extensions were on the basis of approved I-140 and retrogressed EB-3 PD.
