Hi,

My Company applied PERM in Sept'07 at Chicago. Till now company hasn't heard back yet and now employer is planning to file one more PERM appl. through different Lawyer. Can we file one more application without hearing/know the first case status?

Appreciate the reply.

Thx...

You cannot file a new PERM under the same position under the same company while the other one is still pending.
The DOL states an "average" processing time of 90 days, which may be extended based on whether or not an audit or multiple audits are issued. We are however noticing the average processing time is about 4 months or so.

My wife did her MBA and used her OPT before marriage. After a gap of OPT period she again went to school and got a MS degree. During her OPT, she did not work at all. Now she is unable to get second OPT for her recent MS degree.
Is there a way out to get second OPT? Can this new law (29 months OPT) if passed, be used to apply for second OPT.
What should be best approach? Please advice.
Thanks

A student can get an OPT once for every level of education. Since your wife already had an OPT at the "master's" level (it does not matter whether she could earn money during that period or not), she can only get another if she goes for a Ph.D. After completing the Ph.D., she will get one more OPT.

I do not know how the new law, if passed, will be "grandfathered", but I doubt if it can be used for your wife's case.

Works fine for me. My case is still pending. And wow, I got a soft LUD 3/25/09 on my I485. Woohoo

Had my appointment on Sept 8 at 10am, wife was also with me for her H4 stamp. Went for fingerprinting, then went to 20th floor for interview.

This was the interesting part! The Visa officer asked where I worked, then asked me where I was from. I said Lahore, he then started asking me about situation there with respect to the floods, and whether our families were affected etc. He then said, everything looks good and told us to come back on the 10th (2 days later) to collect passports. He did not check a single document (job letter, paystubs etc.). Just asked me about Lahore and sent us on our way.

Considering I am Pakistani, I thought this should give hope to other Pakistanis applying. Btw my first name is not so rare, but last name very rare. Also work for a Fortune 100 firm.

One of my friend is ready to apply for 485. He is all set.

The problem is he got recently married and his wife's passport and other details are not yet ready and she is still in India.

Can he still submit his 485 for his wife?

Gurus, any help / suggestions is appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks

graduated with a MS in Computer science in may2007.
i applied to another university and got my sevis transferred to do my MBA there.
i have done 11 months 20 days of full time CPT at the previous university(where i did my MS).
am i eligible for another full time CPT at my new university where i have started my MBA (from jan 21st 2008)?

the international students service at my previous university is saying "i am eligible for 12months of full time CPT for every educational level, and i cannot get another 12 months if i do MBA because it is a masters degree too".
please suggest.
thanks

yes, they're right. CPT is 12 months max full time and it is 12 months for every educational level.
1.Part-time CPT is 20 hours a week or less. If done during school year, must maintain full time status. It has no effect on OPT.

2.Full-time CPT is more than 20 hours a week. (25 hrs a week is full time). If you do more than 12 months of full-time CPT, you lose your OPT option
