Can you walk in for un-scheduled apointment? ... Now days this might not be permissible, but I remember 5 yrs ago at Toronto consulate, after all scheduled applicants have been lines up timewise, un-scheduled applicants were asked to form line behind on first come first basis. Not sure if anyone got chance, as I was like most lined up ahead in scheduled lineup. But wonder if it is still permitted, how about taking chance?

Please comment.

1. The short answer is: Yes, you can most likely accept a one year intra-company transfer to India, and then transfer back to a position in the US with Company B without necessarily lengthening your GC process.

2. BUT, in order to file for AOS based on the existing approved LC/I-140 (EB2 or EB3??), you would have to return to the US to work in the same position at the same location for which the underlying LC was approved.

3. Alternatively, if your position in India meets the USCIS definition of managerial or executive, and you transfer back to the US to take on a position that also qualifies as managerial or executive, Compny B could file an EB1 I-140 on your behalf (maintaining the priority date of the prior I-140), thus substantially shortening or eliminating the quota wait.

4. If you cannot qualify in the EB1 category, and Company B transfers you back to a new position or new location in the US. You can retain your original priority date, but the company will have to apply for a new PERM LC and then file a new I-140 for you.


[NOTE: The above analysis assumes you (and your spouse, if any) were born in India and subject to the immigrant visa quota for India.]

Hello,

I am working on H1-b visa. My green card stage: Priority date July '06, EB3, India. I-140 approved, I-485 filed Sept'07. I don�t intend to use EAD for employment now.

I have a need to get my future spouse on H-4 visa. With EB3 India priority dates retrogressed, filing dependent I-485 for spouse is years away. (Unless rules change!)

Question 1: IF I loose my H1-b status (job loss) and find a new job using my EAD, my spouse on H-4 goes out of status. So what all options do I have to keep her in a valid status?


Question 2: Proactively, say my spouse (when on valid H-4 status) starts a Masters program (part-time) at a University, can she file for a H4 to F-1 change of status (COS) that very week or month I loose my job. Or are there any serious timing issues in this option?

Thx

The bassist was reeeeealy close to a bright yellow-ish light everytime it came on (hit his arm and bass) it blew everything all to hell. Not quite sure how to compensate for something like that so I started taking shots when that one light turned off.

I was using a flash with a different band but from a distance. I wasn't too sure if it would bother them or not.

Thanks for the feedback!

Is no one in similar situation?

Hi glus,

Thanks for the reply can you or someone clarigy this,

What if the validity date of H1 is before the validity date of F1. In other words if the validity date of H1 is 10/1/2009 to 9/30/2012 and the validity date of F1 is 12/15/2009 to D/s but the approval date of F1 is on 7th Jan 2010 and the approval date of H1 is on 14th jan 2010.

Thanks

Your VISA status should be determined by the I-94 you got last. Which one is it?

Hi all,

I have a simple problem but can't get an anwer at the consulate because the person who's name is on the website to call is unbelievably rude even when I was very polite in asking 2 questions and calling him 'sir' all the time :(

I got my renewed passport yesterday and it doesn't contain my husband's name in the spousal name areal. So the problem is this:
1. I have applied for an H4 visa and I sent a copy of that application along as they requested.
2. All my proofs of residence were based on my marriage as the utility bill is in his name so there could be no confusion about the fact that I am married and the name of my spouse.
3. My address in India has been stated as my husband's address already but his name is not on the passport - is this really a problem?
4. I don't want to face any trouble when traveling as I'll be on an H4 with a passport that doesn't have hubby's name on it.

My question is:
1. Do I need to send anything else to them other than my new passport, an attested copy of my marriage certificate, and a $20 check for the return express mail?
2. Does the Washington DC consulate have an email address where I can submit a query as the two people listed on the website to call for passport problems do not seem to want to talk to anyone?
3. Can I possibly call the Chicago or SFO consulates to ask my questions as they seem to be better people (my hubby and brother got theirs renewed in these places)?

Please help!

Thanks.

Thanks for your help.I will try your solution. :)

Two questions for the experts...

I am on J1 visa and have received a home residency requirement waiver. Do the experts here know if I can apply for a J1 visa extension (after receiving the waiver)? I read somewhere that it may not be possible to do so.

Also, are there are any foreign travel restriction on a J-1 visa?

Thanks

I don't think there is any grace period. One of my friend did the same way and he went to delhi for stamping every thing was fine for him. Check with your lawer and make sure you have all the documents for stamping.

How employee can retain PD in case of I140 is approved and employee change jobs?
Would like to know more on procedure also.
Is there any impact if Employer revokes I140 after employee leaves company?

FYI - Mr. Prakash resigns...

My PD is Sep 2004 EB3. If I decide to move to another employer who could also file an EB2 labor for me, how long should I wait before they could file a EB2 perm application for me?
Suppose I apply for a position by replying to a job posting (advertisement) on monster.com or dice.com and I get that job, can the company use the same ad for applying for my PERM labor?

forgot to attach my previous employer experience letter
Same happened to me, I waited for RFE and send the experience letters when received RFE, but this can potentially increase your processing time.

Once you receive the receipt number, you could send the copy of experience letters if you are concerned about the processing time, (but that doesn't guarantee that you may not be issued RFE)

can u pls let me know ur date your application has been mailed and to which center.

I mailed it to NSC on aug 3rd nothign yet..

Sorry to hear that....Mine is TSC and They receieved my Applications on Aug 13, 2007. But One of My friend Filed with NSC and They receieved his application on Aug 16, 2007. His Check got cleared couple of days before.

Thnaks,

Here is the USCIS official URL page/ press release:

Now the PERM takes 2years... whats the difference for new guys? My friend stuck in labour for almost 15 months now. got RFE, replied to it and stood stand still..

But this helps for someone who filed during July'07 fiasco and waiting though. I got mine approved in late feb'09 (filed in July 07).

Something is better than nothing.... :-)

Hi

I am in Florida, let me know if I can help and own two companies in the US and one in the UK

sounds like you have already sent a response to the RFE and you want to follow on... yes... go ahead and do it... its not like they are waiting for you to make a mistake and then they will close your file.. for the most part, USCIS is a friend... so dont worry and send in your follow on document asap. make sure you dont repeat your earlier documents. just send in the new one and refer to your earlier RFE response clearly saying that an additional document has now become available...

my 2 cents.

My attorney office replied back to My I485 query yesterday in the overnight post(today is the last day to respond). For the marriage proof, i attached the marriage certificate which has my incorrect date of birth. I attached the affidavit describing that there is the entry error in the marriage certificate and applied for the correction and as in process with "Registrar of Marriage" office in India. In the meantime, i received the corrected marriage certificate today with the scanned copy. My question is, Can i send my corrected marriage certificate document today to USCIS ? Will they accept with one day delay?

PD: MAY-2002 - EB3

Thanks. That helps.
Now to make sure how do I know the person I found it correct?
I am in VA. Should I contact any senator on state or my county specific?

Welcome to MarkHerring.org (http://www.markherring.org/html/links.html)
here he is in my county. So I guess I am approaching right person?

Most have their websites. Send email and they will get back to you.
If no websites, find the address from the State Governor's website and send a letter explaning the situation. they will send you a document-release form. Fill that form and send copies of all the required documents for your case.
Most Senator's office are really quick in correspondence.

All the best.

yeah, on both pics i was just randomly doing things and hoping it would be cool when i was done...but anyway, thanks for input i'll keep at it.
