So, you are entitled to H-1 status through Sept. 2010. Most US consular officers would realize that the petition approval through Aug. 2011 is a mistake and either issue a visa valid only until 9/30/2010 or refuse to issue a visa until you obtain an amended petition approval with the correct validity date. If you do leave the US to go for visa stamping based on your current approval notice, there is a substantial risk that you will be stuck out for some time.
If it is essential that you be able to travel, my advise would be to have your current employer file an amended petition asking that the end date on the approval notice be changed to 9/30/2010. In that case, you will not be able to extend your H-1 status beyond 6 years unless both your labor cert. and I-140 are approved by 9/30/2010. Given current processing delays, this is unlikely.

H-1B visas are work visas that allow foreign nationals to temporarily work in the United States for a U.S. employer. A U.S. employer may petition a foreign national under the H-1B classification which specifically applies to individuals in a “specialty occupation." A specialty occupation has three requirements. First, an individual must have a bachelor’s degree or higher degree or its equivalent for the particular position. Second, the degree must be common in the industry among similar organizations. Third, the employer must normally require a degree or equivalent; or the nature of the specific duties is so specialized and complex that knowledge required to perform the duties is usually associated with attainment of the degree.
Individuals with H-1B visas are allowed to work in the United States for up to six years, but visas are granted in three-year increments. In some cases, the H-1B visas may be extended for more than six years. If the individual is in the United States, a change of status to an H-1B is filed in the United States. If the individual is outside the United States, upon approval of the petition, the individual must apply for an H-1B visa at the U.S. consulate. There are only 65,000 H-1B visas issued per year.
The beginning of the fiscal year for 2010 is October 1, 2009. Employers may begin filing their petitions six months prior to the start date of employment but the individuals cannot start their jobs until October 1.
It is vital for those individuals wishing to work in the United States to begin preparing their H-1B paperwork before the cap is reached. As of August 7, 2009, approximately 44,900 H-1B cap-subject petitions had been received by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and counted towards the cap. Please call us at 214-999-9999 if you would like to begin the H-1B process. The H-1B cap-subject count is available at the USCIS Web site (http://www.uscis.gov).

Does anyone know if there would be some kind of record about
when and how many times we have spoken to the IIO.
Like will a IIO be able to look at one's receipt# and say if they have spoken to an IIO earlier that day or whenever that is?
Thank you.
Every time that they talk to you, they log the date of that conversation.

For EB3 case, after receiving the approval for I 140, I know that we have to wait till DOL Proiority Date is current to be able to file for I485.
If we decide to receive the green card in any consulars overseas, can we just go ahead and file the I485 after getting the I140 approval? (without waiting for PD to be current)
Any advice would be appreciated?
I believe that you will have to wait for priority dates to be current even if you go for Consular processing.

Hi,
Is there any way we can check our labor processing status as it is a genral fact that no employer would prefer to give his employee to access his status and at the same time they would not let employee to call attorney directly.So in this kind of scenario I was just wondering is there anyway we can track the status.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Unfortunately the answer is No.
You will have to wait (and trust) for your employer/attorney to give you this info.
Also you can check on the current perm processing dates which the USCIS issues I think every 3 months to see
how far the queue has moved and if you know approx date when your labor was filed you can make a guess
based on the published date and your filing date

Hi,
My wife got her H1B in Oct 2008. But could not work until date.
We want to get her H1B transferred back to H4. There are NO pay stubs for her.
I am on H1B with job. And I have my pay stubs.
Will there be any problem in her H1B to H4 transfer without her pay stubs ?
Thank you.

Just to be clear - where were you born? India or Britain? You can be a British citizen, but if you were not born there, you are counted under the chargeable area of India, not ROW.
There really is no "priveledge" that you will recieve, if you were born in the UK. As Roseball mentions, if you are ROW and can file EB2, your dates would be current when it comes time to apply for I145. If you file EB3, you'll be (currently) stuck in Retrogression at I145 stage.
FWIW - you need to maintain status in the US to retain your greencard.

Hotel News Now, a leading Global Hospitality publication, ran a two-part series about staffing challenges facing the U.S. hotel industry. I was honored to be interviewed by the publication and share my insights on the problems facing hospitality employer in these challenging times.
With the level of unemployment about 8.5 percent, why do hotels still need foreign workers? There are various reasons, from location to the attitudes of American workers. And changes in schedules and lifestyle have affected one of the former staples of summer work�students.
The situation is bad for staffing professionals in the industry, said Jacob Sapochnick, a San Diego, California-based lawyer whose practice is devoted to immigration law. �Even though they can hire local people, they can never rely on them for the full term,� he said. �If you have a large hotel, need 50 housekeepers and hire locally, the turnover is very high. They find a better job or one that pays more. When you have H-2B workers, they know they have them for 10 months. Their visa depends on them working at that hotel.�
The more turnover, the less likely the hotel will function properly, Sapochnick said.

The AC21 is for job description being same or similar.
For example "Programmer Analyst" = "Computer Systems Analyst" as per the code mapping.. But if one takes "Senior Software Engineer" job.. with the same job description as per the approved labor which had title "Programmer Analyst"
will it be ok

My lawyer checked my application type as
"h", and stating "Spouse has an approved I-140"
Since I am filing as dependent. Should it be "b" " my spouse or parent applied for adjustment..."
Does it hurt to choose "h"? Thanks!!
If you are a dependent, you should probably choose (b). I chose (b) for my dependent wife, which is what my attorney recommended. Don't know about (h), but why complicate matters?

Did you send copy of her I-485? I-485's are individual petitions.
