This is a Tricky situation.you need Medical leave for your child but 4 months is a bit too long. Pls.contact your Attorney about the consequences of taking 4 Months leave on H1B visa.make sure your HR provides you with all the Paper work that your Attorney might ask to substantiate your leave.
My LC and I140 approved (PD: may 2004). Applied 485 on Aug 8.
I became father last month.
My new born son is sick and he needs total attention for next 4 months. I have used up all my vacation and planning to apply for medical leave. Pediatrician recommends me getting medical leave and support my wife.
I work in a very big hardware company. I have completed 3.5yrs in H1B so far.f I apply for medical leave, I may get a pay cut (like 20 to 30%). Will I be affected because of this medical leave? Are H1B's allowed to take medical leave (upto 4 months)..
Your comments are very much appreciated.

I'm providing updates here just for future reference for others -
I called the local airport CBP office (even though my last port-of-entry was different), and talked to an officer there. They said that they will handle this issue as long as I can show my passport and visa information.
Phew, that is a relief.
Oh, btw it turns out that the one officer responsible for handling this is on vacation, so I have call again after 2 weeks to schedule an appointment.

Jun RN ur incorrect....this is the exact quote from the liasion Q/A
http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/AILAQandASept2007.pdf
"On top of already high receipts, we saw a dramatic additional increase in July. There were two principal reasons for this added surge. One was the Department of State July visa bulletin, which created an opportunity for hundreds of thousands to apply for permanent residence. While we continue to receipt the work we recently received, we project that we received over 320,000 adjustment applications due to the July visa bulletin. We also received a significant volume of concurrently filed petitions to sponsor the adjustment applicant as an immigrant worker, and over 400,000 applications for ancillary benefits such as employment authorization and travel authorization based on the filing of the adjustment application, for a total of almost 800,000 applications."
once again its 320,000 applications for our calculation purposes.
and 320,000 total I485 apps....they cannot figure our how many unique apps are there on such short notice

Deleted links to the blog since some members comuters got infected when they visited this blog site. I'll post the text from the blog in this thread soon.
Non-Immigrants - All talk and no action?
I have been a silent member of ImmigrationVoice.org, a group formed by and for Highly Skilled Non-Immigrants wishing to legally migrate to the US to lobby Congress for reforms. When I first heard about ImmigrationVoice on another immigration bulletin board, I was curious to find out what their agenda was. With an ambitious goal of reforming the immigration system to favor the Highly Skilled Immigrants and with a little over 200 members, I was one amongst the next 100 who hoped that this then small organization would make a difference and signed up. I am here on a H1B work visa and still have 3 years left. I know that this struggle has to start for me now for it would be too late.
By now, the organization had grown to almost 3000 members and with a dedicated team of advisors and group members, they made a bang in the immigrant community last year by going on a PR spree and even rallied amendments through prominent pro-immigrant senators and lobbying firms to include/introduce amendments in the failed 2006 CIR bill, all through meagre finances (compared to other anti-immigrant groups) albeit rich with passion and hope.
I consciously started donating not because I was hoping that something WILL happen, but atleast with the hope that I tried to make it happen and that I can proudly go down if it didn't. People have almost always benefited from the actions of a small group of highly motivated individuals who tried and tried and tried. Some succeeded but some failed. Those who led and won will make history. Those who followed and won will proudly remember the history. Those who refused to follow and still won will with guilt remember the history.
Hope is the quintessential trait of a successful person. If I knew how to predict the future, I wouldn't be here. What is important is that behind hope there is always strength. Mahatma Gandhi once said that "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will".
Every non-immigrant has the indomitable will to succeed based on his/her definition of success. I had the indomitable will to fly 12,000 miles to a destination I had never been to, clutching a scholarship and hope. I had the indomitable will to persist after 9/11 to find a job. If I didn't I would have called it quits and returned back home. My friend almost got killed at a gas station. Why? He had the indomitable will to try to stand up on his own to pay his tuition and living expenses. There are several stories of sacrifices and will power that constantly amaze me even till this day. One guy worked at a meat packing plant to earn minimum wage while simultaneously studying for a triple major. The worst part of his story was that he comes from a strict indian family of orthodox brahmins who by tradition and religion consider all living beings sacred.
When you hear these stories of how people have lived their lives to reach wherever they are, lobbying for a reform should be an easier task. Its not rocket science. Just like americans, we non-immigrants take our rights for granted. "We pay taxes. We pay Social Security. We pay Medicare. We pay state taxes. etc. etc." SO WHAT? You drive a car, get excellent health care, make enough money to buy your parents a house/car, parade yourself everytime as the rich successful lad who left the shores to the land of opportunity everytime you visit your motherland. At what cost?
Sometimes, Charles Darwin's quotes come to my mind; Like this one - "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."
We, non-immigrants adapt ourselves to the utmost degree that we almost always end up trying to find the easy route in order for us to preserve our way of life in the name of adaptiveness.
John Porter counters Charles darwin by saying-"People underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing. A leader's job is to help people have vision of their potential."
In my humble opinion, that is exactly what ImmigrationVoice.org has been trying to do.
Off late, it seems that a majority of the members seem to bring in their own agenda and rally behind their own agenda completely devoid of ImmigrationVoice.org's objectives. There was not one bulletin board thread which has never sidetracked from the topic of discussion. In the name of constructive criticism or the character of the devil's advocate, a small minority have caused confusion and resentment of the objectives of ImmigrationVoice.org. For those members, I suggest that you read the objectives of ImmigrationVoice.org and subscribe to them or look for another group with common objectives such as yours.
I have always had the opinion that if you can't get it done, step aside and let someone else do it. Observe, encourage, argue with a discipline and respect like a professional, but don't leave. Every single ounce of hope is required to achieve ImmigrationVoice.org's goals. Its hard to convey emotions through words, but I do know that deep within every non-immigrant's heart, there is a passion for success, hard work, commitment and willpower. If not, we wouldn't be forcing the nation/world to take notice of us or atleast try doing so.

meaning you are also planning to marry a US citizen....nothing wrong
This trend will accelerate more in years to come.
When i first came in 1999 marrying us citizen was sort of heard of by IT folks.
by 2003 i was coming across so many cases of marrying us citizen.
among non indians its very common resulting in their PD being more recent.
In fact my friends who went for marrying citizen ...are way better placed in life.
It become so hard to marry from india now with contract jobs lasting short time and salary being so low after cut form h1b vendors. eventually teh pain will reach the point of yield.

I spoke to our immigration lawyer today.
He said that entering on h1 while I have a pending 485 does not affect the 485 in anyway.
He advised that I enter on h1 even if I have the AP.
you can enter on H1. There is no issue with it.

Found this one on the internet... maybe someone can help to give more information about K-3 visa ...
Regards
Only US citizens can file for a K-3 visa. Geencard holders will have to bring their spouse on a non immigrant visa (HI or L1) or under the F2A catogory for family based immigrant visa which is heavily backlogged.
