My attorney said she could get us to talk on one of the AILA meetings as she knows the AILA president very well. This could be awesome!! Let me know. I am from NY close to the City. She also asked if she could add link to immigrationvoice.org to her website.

Any suggestions?

My priority date will become current on June 1st 2011. I will add my wife to green card process on June 1st 2011 (she is in US in H-4 status now). My I-485 is with Texas processing Center.

If I leave my sponsoring (green card) employer after 3-4 months of getting my green card and join another employer or have my own company, does it affect my wife's green card that may be still in process

yes you do - they process it pretty quickly. check out www.britainusa.com

I've been a devoted fan of Adobe products for years - particularly Acrobat - and I'm happy to honor Adobe's CEO Shantanu Narayen. The Indian-born Narayen has a familiar story - he came to the US to pursue an advanced degree and then he was recruited by a tech company to stay. He began his career at Apple and then co-founded Pictra, a company that was one of the first involved with photo sharing over the Internet. He joined Adobe in 1998 and in 2005, at the age of 41, was promoted to his current position at the top of...

The USCIS has issued guidelines for petitioners filing cap-subject H-1B petitions for Fiscal year 2011. The guidance explains what that cap is, what petitions are subject to the cap, filing fees, where to file, etc. See here (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=4b7cdd1d5fd37210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=73566811264a3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60a RCRD).

no, only after you ae a citizen

Hi
This is my current status

I am on H1 B visa and currently working in the US. My visa expires in July, 2011.

I was sent to the US on a long term onsite assignment from the company I was working in bangalore, India. I am asked to come back to India in June 2010.

What are the implications of me quitting thecurrent job once I go back to India? Is my H1 B visa still valid?
In case if I go back to India and move to a different company, do I have to go through everything starting from filing the H1 petition to get the H1 visa?

Kindly reply

Please apply for spouse now if you can. Dates will not remain current for long. Yes ,dates have to be current for filling 485.

485_spouse

thanks a lot for your reply!

If you want to retain your priority date your I 140 should be approved from your old employer, else you need to start from scratch again.

If my priority date is current based on March visa bulletin, till what date can I file for my 485? Do I have time until end of April?

I recall that USCIS was planning to issue 2 year AP and 2 year EAD. I see that the 2 year EAD has been implemented. ANy idea, if and when the 2 year AP implementation is expected?

Thanks

I am currently in L1B status and filed for AOS (I-140/I-485) in July 2007. My I-140 was approved last week and 180 days of pending I-485 are also over. My question is whether there is a huge risk involved in porting to a new employer using EAD, particularly because I do not have any other safety net like H1-B status. I understand, in case of I-485 denial, I will not have any other option to fall back upon. But if USCIS mistakenly issues a NOID or denial for some strange reason, would I have any other option to appeal without going out of country. Can I continue appealing such a potential denial from outside of USA and come if they reopen the case.

More specifically, I have heard some of the AC21 cases have been mistakenly denied or a NOID issues due to ignorant USCIS immigration officer. Can something be done to revive the AOS when there is no backup option like H1B? Would that action needs to be continued from outside of USA or can be done here itself.

I am trying to look up dates for H1 visa stamping in Canada and the website says no appointments for 6 weeks. I am thinking of going for visa stamping in July. is there any chance that they might open up some more appointments in the next few days even though it says unavailable currently? please post your comments and experiences regarding this.

Same info on Murthy site..looks like we have to wait for details

I can't see any good reason why they would do that unless they have a system to allocate the applications to adjudicating staff by State or by Region. Do the Chinese cite any reasons why they feel that way?

I thought Paris Hilton is coming to lobby in DC with her Tinker Bell when I read this headline.

Ok for a long time I have been thinking about getting enrolled in a Phd program and this year I was hoping I get a chance to chase my dream after having the GC... well it did not work the way I thought/planed and now I want to weigh my options.

here are my details:

EB2 I with PD Sep 2005
Primary Applicant
currently on H1B
I 140 approved early 2006
Approved EAD (till Oct 2010)
Approved AP

So my questions is:

Is there a way I can join a univ as full time research student?
Can I take a leave of absense (ofcourse w/o pay) from my current job to join as a student?

If anyone knows anything about this kind of situation I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks for everyone in advance...
