In my opinion EB1 India will never become current again, unless a pandemic or something else. It will start getting backlogged same as EB 2 unfortunately
Why you don't talk about EAD option for 1 year with I-140 approved if anyone looses a job. A person can keep extending EAD unless they've to go to India in emergency for which they can get the parole I think.. or if they find a job o=and going back to h1b they need to live the country and enter again this is also an advantage for many ppl.
Hi Mandar. Watched this video and many other from you. Great content. Quick question based on what you mentioned. I have i94 expired in 2022 online, but my latest I797 has the i94 mentioned valid until 2025 Jan. Do I still need to worry or I am good until Jan 2025 ?
@mandar - Filed EB1 485 in Jul 2024 with PD of Mar 2021. Today my case status changed to "Casw Remains Pending" stating we are temporarily pausing work on your application b/se an immigrant visa nunber is not available. Does this mean, they exhausted all visas for this FY?
This sounds bad for EB1. Was your case EB1 upgrade, your date was current for a while till Jan 2023. Mandar is giving us hopes EB1 will become almost current. ;) I hope your 485 process resumes with october visabulletin as the new visa numbers become available.
Hi Mandar, thanks for this informative video. I went onto the online I 94 status portal and found that I can get my most recent entry on the I 94 online website but I cannot get any travel history for myself. I have been in America when I should be visa from 2014 and I must have traveled multiple times, so do you think it's concerning and I should be heading the lawyer to resolve this?
Hello Mandar, I am here in USA since 7 years. And after watching this video and thought of checking my i94. To my surprise looks like mine expired in 2020. Adn I am panking right now/ What should I do? will I be under trouble? My H1b has been extended just last year after the 6th year. I have not travelled outside USA since 2017.
Your renewed Approved H1B should come with a I-797A. That I-797A should have an I-94 at the bottom. That should be sufficient for now until u travel outside of US. Hope you find it.
Mandar, for Canadian citizen who got H1b while he was still Indian citizen with H1b stamp on Indian passport and then they became Canadian citizen after entering US on H1b. Would their i94 tracked to India or US?
Mandar, thanks for your positive news about EB1 India. Just a quick question, can the EB1 ROW spillover numbers carry forward to the next fiscal year? Meaning Can they be utilised for EB1 india in Oct 2024.
Will updating Name on my SSN using EAD card void my H1B status. I have an Ead but continue to use my H1B. Please let me know. I know SSN updates ead card info while updates on SSN and get it verified from UsCIS.
It’s in the museum. It gets taken out by every lawmaker in round robin with a new bill number to show that they care. Then it goes back into the museum. (Sorry 😀 for a bad joke )
Mandar I need your valuable advice on this- I am in the AOS state for my EB1C case. Me and my wife got Birth Certificate RFE on I485 and responded to the RFE 3 weeks back. My PD is Jan 2018. Do you think I can get my GC by end of this year?
@@venuswealth6 My birth certificate has missing information, submitted proper affidavit for that but still got RFE. For my wife every information was there but hand written on a form. So I think they want a computer generated document.
Hi Mandar, on H1b if one gets a new job and there is a gap of 3 to 4 days between last day of previous job and first day of new job, is that an issue and will be considered as “unemployed” for those many days?
Hello Mandar, I lost my job while working on H1B. My priority date is July 2013 and I got EAD which is under extension processing. Since I didn’t get job yet and H1B 60 days grace period is about to end, does my EAD give me right to stay in US until I get job ? Pls advise. Also, pls advise if there are chances for mid 2013 PD EB2 to get GC in couple of months ? I have option to move to Canada.
Hi, does this prediction mean the final action date or filing date ? I see filing date is still 2022-Feb. does the filing date also predicted to move forward? If so what’s the approximate forecast for filing date movement ?
Hello Mandar, My priority date is mid 2013 under EB2. I just lost my job and was working on H1B. I also have EAD which I never used. Its extension is in progress. If I don’t get job in couple of months, my H1B would be voided. Can I stay in USA on EAD basis even if I don’t job ? Also, shall I explore Canada as an option to move as my PD is Mid 2013 Pls advise
Hi Mandar, i had visa approved till March 2025 but passport was valid till Jan 2025 because of that i got i94 till Jan 2025. Later i had my job title changed so applied H1b amendment got i979A approval till April 2027 and also got paper i94 extension along with i797A. I have recently renewed my passport so my question is paper i94 came with i797A still valid or i have to leave country or re-enter?
Your i-797 is valid. Basically whichever is latest that applies. Before your amendement your i-94 was latest, after your amendment i-797 is latest. If you applied amendment in feb 2025 that could have been trouble in this case you are good
Hi Mandar .. my daughter has a pending i485 and because of this she has an ead and Ap.. how would I know if she has a new i94? She was on F1 but now working on the ead based on pending i485.

Hi Mander, Need your help with my scenario. I’m on H1b visa (6th Year) until Oct 30th 2024 My Visa Stamp on passport is until April 30 2024. I have travelled to India and entered US on 1st Jan 2024 and got my I94 extended until Oct 2024. My employer applied for H1b extension and got approval until Oct 2027 with i94 until Oct 2027 Now, My question is- Should I leave the country before Oct 30th 2024 and re-enter? If yes, I would have to go for Visa Stamping as I need valid visa to reenter. Also, I’ve got a new passport since my old passport expires in Dec 30th 2024.

The reason is the Birth certificate is not computer generated. Though they didn’t mention this directly but in the notice they said to provide documents where information are not missing
Respect respect respect to you sir
We learn a lot from you
Thanks Mandar for all the information specifically for I94…
Thank you Mandar, good and informative content especially on I94.
Thanks Mandar for your support to people 🎉
Hi Mandar, I pray that your prediction of EB1 India dates moving significantly beyond Dec 2022 comes true.🤞🍀
I m sorry to say that this is not practical on the basis of pending inventory.
In my opinion EB1 India will never become current again, unless a pandemic or something else. It will start getting backlogged same as EB 2 unfortunately
Prediction is at 15:24
Hope at least reach to March 2023 for EB1

Thanks for all the insightful content. Does I-94 expiry matter in case of ‘pending AOS for I-485’ when you have used Advanced parole to travel.
Nope, it is only for Visa people. not for EAD and Green card
Thanks Mandar , Can you do prediction for EB2 ROW
