There should not be any issue for applying with only 2 months left. If you wait to get the next approval notice and go for stamping closer to the starting date of your next year of H1b you could get stamp for the next period too.
If there is 2 months or above left on the current extension then they will not give a visa including the new approval period. They will give only for the 2 months. So perferably go closer to the begining of the next period along with the new aproval notice (if you want to travel freely for the next period too)

Note - This has been posted in the regular forum also. Re-posting it here to get an attorney perspective.
I just wanted to throw this out there, since I did not get any definite answer from any forums.
When in need for I-485 issues, who is better to contact - Congressman or Senator.
I just want to know the pros and cons of each and maybe this analysis will help others down the line.
Points to note are:
1. There are more congressman in a particular state than senators. There are only 2 senators in a state.
2. Senators are more powerful than congressman (not sure that this power applies for talking to USCIS or not)
3. Senators and congressman have different terms in office. Hence is it better to contact someone who is going to stay longer, or someone who is up for election soon and hence may help.
4. For a particular USCIS case, can we contact both congressman and senator at the same time. Is this good.
Can members throw some light on this based on their prior experience and based on their knowledge.
Thanks in advance.

With the D100 now carrying a street price of $1499 from legitimate dealers...things are looking mighty nice as the price of admission for quality gear keeps going down.
There are regular refurb D100 for $1,199 on the market recently.
If you want the best value for money, the E+ rated, at Adorama now, 35-70/2.8 AF-D and 80-200/2.8 AF-D are the best buy in town. I always tempted to get them to add a few zooms to my primes.
But until the 1Dx comes out which is 4mp, and the 1Ds holds a price above $6,000 until April, I am NOT buying any more Nikkors, unless the FF digital F6 announces on time, which I think is an impossibility!

Recently my I-140 petition for EB2 was denied on educational grounds . The employer opened an MTR/appeal.
Is it possible to re-file the I-140 petition in EB3 using the same labor certification, while the first I-140 is pending appeal at AAO.

Dear friends,
I have an EB3 pending for years, and I submitted a marriage based green card application a couple of months ago.
I had the interview recently. The office said she requested the EB3 file, but the office that was processing it wouldn't release it to her. She said a person could have only 2 pending 485s, so the 2 applications should consolidate, either the EB3 file comes to her office or this marriage based green card application goes to the office that process the EB3 file. And she said she wouldn't want to release the marriage based file to that office. So we are stuck.
She went ahead and validated that our marriage is real, but she couldn't process the 485 because she needed all of my files. She didn't seem to be familiar with cases that have previous pending 485s. She had me signed a letter saying I'd like to withdraw my EB3 application and she'll send the letter with my EB3 485 receipt notice to the other office, hoping they'll cancel the EB3 green card application and release the file to her. She didn't seem to be certain that would do the job. She wasn't sure how long it would take and it's possible someone else will take over my case.
It's been a week and there's no updates online. I'm now scare that if anything goes wrong, I might lose my EB3 application and get stuck in the bureaucracy. I'm worried and would like to ask whether it was a typical way to handle cases like mine. Thank you very much!

Hi All,
Joined California based consulting company in mid 2006, got project in Maryland(MD). Worked in Maryland but CA company ran payroll on CA address. I have LCA for Maryland. End of year,2006 filed tax filing with CA state.
Project went till February,2008 they are running my pay stubs,W2 with CA address. I filed CA tax returns for year 2007 but stayed in Maryland.
Now my questions is I�m present in Maryland(LCA) but pay stubs,W2 are showing CA address. In demographic information form(g-325) which I address I need to use. Should I go with physical address(Maryland) or W2 address(CA).
I have no idea how to go about this, can you please advice how to present my case.
Thanks,
Sampath.
In G325, you should specify the address where you lived. On the other hand, though your W2 says CA address, you should have filed taxes with Maryland and filed taxes with CA as non-resident.

Hi guys,
I know this is Off Topic (OT), but I was wondering if ALL Tax payers including immigrants on H1B will be getting the proposed tax rebates. This had happened in 2001 as well and my citizen co-workers remember getting checks.
Does anyone who was on an H1B in 2001 remember getting a similar rebate check? I definitely dont remember getting one.
For tax purposes, you are considered a "US resident" and will get all the breaks or rebates that a US Resident will get.
I think I did get the 2001 year rebate

Honestly, if the Democrats lose this seat, it is because of taking their voter base for granted.
Hopefully, this will light a fire under them and make them more focused on their promises.
I agree that if they lose this seat, it will be the end of CIS and it will be hard to pass any meaningful legislation for us either.

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently updated their list of Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) approved schools (http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/ApprovedSchools.pdf) .
The schools listed have all been certified to participate in the program. The program allows foreign students interested in obtaining an education in the United States to complete a visa petition, pay the required fee, and attend a U.S. College or University. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) created a web based system called the Student Exchange Visitor System (SEVIS) which maintains information on the foreign students accepted into the program. The SEVIS monitors the students for the duration of their approved stay, as required by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA) of 1996.
Interested Foreign students: There is a process in obtaining a student visa, but it is not a difficult one. The student must first obtain Form I-20 from the U.S. College or University from which he/she intends to enroll, pay the required visa fee (Form I-901) and contact a local U.S. Consulate/Embassy to schedule an interview. At the interview, the student must have Form I-20, proof of payment of Form I-901, financial support documentation, and a completed visa application. The SEVP procedures differ among U.S. Consulates/Embassies; contact your U.S. Consulate/Embassy NOW to determine its particular procedure on applying for a visa before planning for the interview.
Interested Schools: There is a separate process to obtain F & M Certification. Authorized school officials must obtain and complete Form I-17. An overview of the SEVP Certification process can be found on the ICE website . If approved, the school will be certified and allowed to issue Form I-20 to qualifying foreign students.
If you need assistance or an explanation of the SEVP/SEVIS (http://www.ice.gov/sevis/), please contact our office (http://www.mvplg.com/contact.htm) to schedule a consultation.
