Hi,
I am currently doing my MBA here on a H4 visa. I want to know if I would be eligible to apply for the H1 Visa ( in the 20,000 quota) without converting to
F1 status. Please advise.
Thanks in advance...
You woulkd be eligible provided you have completed your MBA. If you are still working on it then you would not be considered an advanced Degree HOLDER.

Posting for a friend.
I have been working with company A since december 2005 on my OPT.
Company A filed for my H1 that was approved and the start date for this
visa is december 1st 2006 (OPT expires december 15th, 2006). I am
talking to company B that wants me to join in november but is not sure
if they can file for a transfer before my visa begins. I have looked
around in various forums but havent found a satisfactory answer.
I have pay stubs from company A but, of course, they would be dated from
before the beginning of my visa. Can I use these for my transfer
application? Is transfer even possible in my case?

My sister is in US in Visitor Visa with I-94 expiration date of Nov 25th 2009. We would like to convert her status from B2 to F1 Visa ASAP.
1) Do you know anyone who has changed the status from B2 and F1? If yes, can you share the experience?
2) Is it risky to do that? What kinds of problem we may encounter?
3) Can she stay in US while F1 is pending? what happens if rejection shows up after her current i-94 expiration date?
4) Is it better to go home country and apply for the F1 Visa or it is safer to change the the status in US.
Any advise you can throw will be appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
My family had visited me way back in 2004 on a visitor visa. Due to unavoidable circumstances, they had to stay beyond the stipulated 6 months ( for 2 more months). We had requested the govt. for extension approval and it had been granted then.
We would like to have them visit us again by Nov of this year. However, when they went for the visa to consulate(last week), it got rejected, because the consulate person informed them that they had overstayed last time around.
I would like to know when can I legally apply for the visa again? And is there a way I could enhance my chances of an approval, rather than a rejection, next time I try. I am working on an EAD and my husband had filed for I485 for our family(I140 approved stage).
Any advise would be appreciated.

Hi,
My I-140 was approved in May and I am still waiting for I-485 approval. I filed in August 2007 concurrently and my Priority Date is June 2004.
I thought that concurrent filing will also mean concurrent approval, but may be this is not the case. Otherwise should I call NSC and ask them about it (whats the best way to call them ?)
Thanks

Hello Everyone,
My dates are current last month. I added my wife couple weeks back [I couldnt add her earlier as i was not married then]. I got her receipt notices and also fingerprinting. My question is :
is there a way to say that she is linked to my application ?
becuase when I call USCIS, they say: This is separate application and they cant say if it is linked to primary or not.
--> Does receiving receipt notices mean that they accepted her application and linked to primary ?
--> does Fingerprinting appointment means that they accepted her application.
My concern is if my GC is approved and if she is not linked, it would be a problem,I guess.
So, please advise me as to how would i know if she is linked to my application?
please advise

Folks,
I am trying to put together documents for my wife's 485 application. The birth certificate was re-issued a couple of years back (with corrections to her mother's name and including her last name which was missing earlier).
The lawyer says we need to put a good reason down for 'why a corrected birth certificate was not obtained until now'.
Do you guys know of a good reason to provide USCIS? Know of any reason which was accepted in case of your friends?
Please do advise. Thanks!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

No. You can't port PD from spouse.
You can port your own PD, if you have another EB3 approved.
You can port the country of chargeability, if she was born in another (ROW) country.
My priority date is in 10/2006 under EB3. My wife just start her GC process under EB2. Can my wife port my PD date to her GC application?
Thanks!

Hi All,
I need some advise on my situation.
I am working in India and my H1B visa has been approved to work with a client in the NJ area. After the visa approval and before the stamping, my employer has asked me to go and work with a different client in the NY area (as my original client project got canceled). So, the client and the location are changing.
So, I will be going for my H1B visa stamping with a client letter and location different from what is in the petition. Is that OK or is it a sure shot denial case?
Do I need a new LCA or H1B amendment? My employer is not keen on doing them, and thinks that it should not be risky to go with the existing paper work.
Please give me some advise.
Regards,
S

Hi,
I have applied for H1B extension for 3 years based on my I 140 approval. I have submitted all relevant documentation except for client letter.
My current H1 expires in Oct and we are expecting our baby in October as well. I would like to know what would be my options in case my H1 extension in denied. I cannot leave with the new born atleast untill december (need time to get passport n visa for the baby) and I wouldn't want to get into any legal issues like staying in US n not being in status.
Looking forward to your advice and suggestions

Hi,
I had a question regarding employment in OPT STEM extension. I recently(one week back) got a job and joined as a independent contractor(adding me as a vendor to company and at the time of joining they asked me to fill W-9 form) in company. I was joined first and thought of ask them to enroll in E-verify later.
But couple of days back when I ask the HR for company to enroll in E-Verify in order to update to school officials. HR refuses to enroll because as I was working as an independent contractor and not coming under their payroll.
Regarding how do I get paid? They will pay me bi-weekly. But I need to rise the invoice and submit time sheet and give it to them so that they will pay me a payable check.
And even I got approved OPT STEM extension couple of days back which I was applied through my previous employer.
Is there a way to come out of this situation?
Even thinking of adding a consulting firm layer in between the company and me but I don't want to do that. Please help me out.
