Hi Friends,
I am a green card holder, becoming eligible for citizenship in April 2009. My fianc�e has been in the US for the past 2 plus years on F1. She completes her MS in December this year .We plan to visit our home country in August this year and get married. I thought this was a relatively uncomplicated case till I read in some forum recently that marriage to a permanent resident can be a barrier to being admitted to the U.S. in F-1 status. This is because such a marriage obliterates the "non-immigrant" intent required for F-1 entrants. This could very easily jeopardize her plan to re-enter in F-1 status.
Any thoughts or advice on this? Appreciate all the help.
Thanks a lot.

Here (http://www.dphoto.us/forumphotos/showgallery.php?cat=1377) are a few pictures from my excursion to Turkey Run S P last weekend. While my camera performed better than I expected from a late-90's era 2.7MP DSLR, I didn't fare so well, coming home with far fewer "keepers" than I would have liked. My greatest problem was that I either didn't set up a tripod or failed to increase the ISO to get more DOF in many landscape shots that needed it, and frequently I also got motion blur from lack of tripod usage. This experience has taught me that for me personally, even though the D1 is 2 stops faster than Velvia, I still must slow down and use a tripod - not only to prevent blur and enable slower exposures, but also to force a slower and more thoughtful pace of composition.

How much time does it take on an average to generate a FP notice from the receipt notice date and when does the actual FP take place?

so does it means I can have only one GC (I485) processing at a time ? I can't have two GC(I-485) processing in parallel , one dependent I-485 which was filed through my husband's and another one filed under my own GC processing ? Actually, as I already have I-485 filed under EB3 and was planning to file another one under EB2 and though I will take the one whichever gets approved first. Also, this way there will be a backup plan as well. But seems like that is not feasible..huh (

Has anybody recently applied to change visa status from H4 to F1? I want to know, how much time USCIS is currently taking to process F1

Hi

After changing the address on sunday, there were soft luds for 2 days on all pending 485.

Is this same with all address change.Last time it took 3 weeks to get the letter.

Any experiences?

Thanks

Where do you guys see this update? link please. I can't find it anywhere.

Thank you very much for all your comments...This information is very helpful for me.:)

Her petetion is filed in May. And she travelled out of USA last month. So you need to do is to start working and get a visa stamp of H1 when you go out of the country. Can you please stop advertising on the board about your company..

thanks for that, i saw this initialy but overlooked it.
Do you know much about creating your own animations?do you have a tute or can you point me to a good one?

Swift3d is a great program for quick and easy 3d solutions, however more control over the export file size needs to be addressed for web based applications. what do you think?

niklshah, thanks for the suggestion....

TSC is processing May 20 EADs and our R.date is July.

Hi,

I have recently recieved approval for I-140. With no surprise, employer denies to share the copy. I am planning to file FOIA to get the copy. Questions I have :

1. Can I file for FOIA even if my I-485 is not filed?
2. Reason to ask 1. is, Form G-639 requires Alien Registration Number (A#) which I believe, one can get only after filing I-485. Please correct me if I am wrong.
3. If I am right, Can I file FOIA without Alien#?

Thanks a lot in advance and appreciate the response.

Thanks a lot for giving a reply on time.

I hope you realise this is a serious issue. You need to find out from your employer who filed your H1 whether he filed it as a "Change of Status" (COS) petition or "Visa to be issued abroad category".

If it was a H1 COS petition, then you have been accruing unlawful H1 status since your H1 start date as your status automatically changed from H4 to H1 (assuming your approval came with an attached I-94). In this case, you need to get back to H4 status. You can do that by re-entering US on a valid H4 visa (preffered way) or by filing a new H1 to H4 COS petition.

If your H1 petition was not filed under COS (filed under Visa to be issued abroad category), then you are still on H4 status (assuming you have been maintaining a valid H4) and there is nothing you need to do. If you want to convert to H1, then you need to go to a consulate mentioned on your H1 application, attend the H1 interview and re-enter US using H1 stamp.

Hope this helps and you take the necessary action.

I was on H-1 and got laid off on July 23. I filed for COS to H4 online on the same day and got the electronic receipt the same day. As I had filed I-539 after work hours, the receipt shows that USCIS received my application on July 26 instead of 23. I got the paper receipt in next 3 days. I hope this will not create any problems as my employer sent notification to USCIS on July 31 and I received my last paystub on July 31 though it was only till July 23. I have been working in US with good status for last 5 years.

Now I have some questions. Any help is greatly appreciated:

1) I recently got two Job offers from different consulting firms. When I told them that my H4 status is still pending, their attorneys told me conflicting things.
- One employer's attorney said that I have to wait till my H4 is approved and only then they could apply for my H1. At this time I have not status and they cannot file my H1.
- The other employer's attorney said that I could apply for H1 while my H4 is still pending by giving pending petition reference in the new H1 application. This will let USCIS adjudicate both the pending status together and there will be no problem for my H1.

Which one of them is correct ? What are the risks involved if I go with the advice of second attorney? Is there a possibility that filing H1 increases the chances the both my H4 and H1 applications are rejected and I could be OOS ?

2) Second question is that the second employer wants me to start immediately after I get H1 receipt. Am I eligible to work on a receipt with my situation or do I need to wait for the complete approval ? What if I get an RFE ? As this is a consulting firm, they have work order from end client for only 3 months and it will be renewed after every 3 months. Will this 3 month work order will create any problems ?

3) What is my current status ? Will the current time while H4 is pending will be counted against H1 or H4 ? As I have only a little over year left in my H1, it is important for me to know how much valid time I have left for H1. This processing time could go in months if I get an RFE.

Administrators?

Why this is not coming in the front page?

Is this posting wrong?

Thank You....

Yes.I too agree with u.

what are u acheiving out of this poll???? get back to work !!

Thanks for the advise ...

Well they are always saying they "want to start" discussions things can turn quick if they want to ... But the point is whether we "in" or are we "out" of discussions if we have atleast one point representation in those talks I think there would some help instead of asking all of us to go back and start process again, this is what 2007 CIR did and it would be if we do nothing... For me I have sent emails / calls when HR XYZA legislation of Lofgren was in discussions.. but those are small numbers and I wonder whether IV Core is doing something through their Lobbying channels... Surely its coming if not today during the tenure of President Obama.

Added a pink thing.

Hi,
I am (L1 B) in US since April 2008 with my wife (L2). Our I-94 and VISA expired on Oct 08. Before expiration my company applied for the extension of L1 (I-129). The status changed to "Request for RFE" on Feb 09. Got the RFE with 11 questions yesterday. The questions asked were more about my specialty, my company and the clients contract, other fellow aliens from my company working for the client's status and profiles. So now not sure what my company will do with the RFE.
My questions are -
1. If my company withdraws the L1 Extension petition, then how many more days I will be able to stay in US legally.
2. My wife is currently 22+ weeks pregnant, will US Govt consider anything for her medical situation?
3. Whats the possibility that VSC will accept the extension if we send the answers to the RFE?
4. If the petition is denied, then how many more days I will be able to stay legally?

I would appreciate if anybody can answer my questions.
Thanks in advance.
Saurav

Please share the RFE.
