Today's news that Indiana Democratic Senator Evan Bayh will be retiring is probably bad news for much of the Democrat's legislative agenda. But when it comes to immigration, this is probably a good news day. Bayh's last vote on comprehensive immigration reform was a bad one. He voted with anti-immigration Senators to filibuster the 2007 version of comprehensive immigration reform and there is little reason to believe his vote in 2010 would be different. On the other hand, Senator Lugar, his Republican counterpart from Indiana, is a much more likely vote in favor reform. Bayh may feel freer to vote...

Hi,

1) Is there any rule that you have to stay with your company for 6 months after getting the GC?

2) Is there any rule that you have to stay in the same job profile for 6 months after getting the GC?

Thanks.

You can always volunteer i guess..

Can we work for a Charity Organization without getting paid while on H1?

The work would probably be 2 hours a month.

Thanks,

Any clue?

My friend Dan Kowalski linked today to an article in the Detroit Free Press about Naji Chammout, a Lebanese native who has been waiting on his citizenship application to be approved for ten years years. That might surprise people when they learn that Chammout volunteered for the US Army in 2004 when he was a green card holder and served as a translator to top American military commanders in Iraq. He sold his Louisiana gas station for the chance to serve his adopted country and went to some of the most dangerous places in the war zone. US Army Brigadier...

i was on F1 he helped me...
wats the problem. maybe i can help.
I used to work in the International Admissions of my university when i was a student.

My priority date is Jan 2006 in EB3 and I wanted to understand what happens after you file I-485. Is is all first come first after that or they will process 485based on priority date. What if I filed my 485 on july 1 and another person with an earlier priority date filed it after 6 months considering the priority dates are still current till then. Will mine be processed before the other guy.

Also, I was going to take a promotion in my company and file a new application in EB2 but with all dates being current now I am confused. I will still apply for 485 in Eb3 and get the benefits for EAD and AP but I am sure the final approval and getting of green card is going to take 5-6 years for jan 2006 eb3 dates.

My questions

Can I still change to Eb2 after filing a 485 in EB3?
Can I port the priority date from EB3 to Eb2 after eb3 140 is approved?

Please help
Thanks

Here's my take on the new Visa Bulletin First, bad news for Dominicans. Separate cutoffs have now been established for the Family First and 2B preference categories which are now earlier than the worldwide dates. Family First is 01 JUN 2004 and 2B is 01 JAN 2002. Also, Indian numbers are pretty bad again with most categories stalled. Mexico is the only bright spot with some strong improvements in the employment categories. Family 1st- no improvement for most countries; three week advance for Mexico. Family 2A - world numbers jump from June 2010 to August 2010; Mexico stalled at March...

Hi,

1. Valid H1-B stamping, expiring in 2010
2. Trying to renewe EAD/AP (Didn't use both until now).
3. Instructions of I-131 has the following statement

If you travel before the advance parole document is issued, your application will be deemed abandoned if:
A. You depart from the United States; or
B. The person seeking advance parole attempts to enter the United States before a decision is made on the application.

My question:
1. Does my applying for renewal of EAD and AP affect my travel?

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

My questions are about F1 to H1b change status.

I applied an H1b through a consultant company on April 2008. I received a notice from USCIS told me had been lottery H1b. However, until now my case is still pending. My OPT expired on Jan, 2009 and can't be extended. I am in the middle of the 60 days grace period right now. My questions are:

1. If the 60 days expire and my case is still pending, can I legally stay in US till H1b approved?

2. If my H1b is rejected and the 60 days expire, how many legally days can I stay in US? Do I have another 30 grace period days?

3. In my situation, what should I do right now? Do I need to find a school to keep my F1 visa? When is the best time to find a school?

4. Can I transfer H1b to another company during my H1b is pending?

I am very appreciate if you can answer these questions. :)

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would really appreciate if you can help on the question below.

1) My wife changed her last name after our wedding.
2) She got it updated on new passport, I-20 and SSN.

Now, we are planning to travel to India. She has her old as well as new passport .. and the F1 visa and I-94 is still at the old passport.

My question is: Does she need to get her F1 stamped again in order to get the updated name on her new passport?

I would greatly appreciate your fast response.

Thanks,
-Ashu

My wife is going for h4 stamping this week......one of the forms asks for.......has someone filed for an immigration petition on your behalf?.......should we say 'yes' to that?

As long as your husband maintains his H1b status, you should be fine.

Hello gurus,

I have a few questions about my case.

I have a 3year degree in Bachelors of Science (Maths) and a 1 year degree in BS in Computer Information systems from Golden Gate University in (San Francisco, CA). However at the time of my GC filing, my lawyer advised me that i cannot file for EB2 but for EB3, since my bachelors degree does not evaluate to a 4 year US degree (based on the single source rule). So i had to file my I-140 in EB3.

Recently i read an article on murthy.com http://www.murthy.com/news/n_combdg.html this article clearly mentions that the person I-140 was denied by USCIS but the AAO overturned the case. I asked my lawyer about this, she says that even thought the person had two degree, they were from the same university, but from my understanding ethiraj college is an autonomous university.

I have a feeling my case is similar, what do you'll think i should do..
