I am on H1B visa and my wife has filed N400. We have been married for 1 year and 2 months. she just gave her finger printing on June 10th. we have not yet filed I130 petition as of yet as we were thinking to do that after she gets her citizenship. But today I got laid off from work and the immigration officer mentioned that my wife should file I130 ASAP to avoid deportation. In form I30 On line Item 15 it says to enter the name and address of present employer. I got laid of from work on June 19 today and my wife is filing this I130 petition on Monday June 23. My termination letter indicates june 19th date. I will receive my last pay stub on July 3rd.
Should I put the name of the current employer on line 15 or should I say "unemployed" and explain in a seperate piece of paper about recent layoff? I will be out of status and will be inviting immigration if I mentioned that. Please help.

I assume your wife is not yet citizen. As a spouse og GC holder Applying I-130 does not change anything . wait until your wife gets citizenship and apply. Otherwise you have to conversion

I don't think it is true.

Thanks for the response STAmisha..

My lawyer is saying whatever exp. you will give, you should have originals of that. I don't have much hold of my lawyer and he is not suggesting whether I should use new experience than what I used in my first labor.

Thats why I want to know if anybody else has done this before..

Thanks for the suggestions Fred! I applied a bit more sharpening to the head, I think it's not so OOF looking now. I'll have a go at cloning out the twigs later, it looks a bit difficult but it could be fun trying.

an local govenment gave me an offer but the salary is lower than prevailing wage around that area shown in the DOL. Would it be a big problem for H1b application next year? It is impossible to increase the salary because the working location is not rich in that area.


I heard that I can hire some survey company to get a lower salary survey for the specific location which can be used to apply H1b, is it correct? Thanks

Should I accept this offer? I have searched jobs for 6 months and only have this offer. Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi Folks:

Thank You for your interest. I just reserved the conference room at Tysons Pimmit Library 7584 Leesburg Pike Falls Church, VA 22043 - (703) 790-8088 on 5/9/2009 from 3PM-5PM.

I expressed interest to lead the MD chapter but definitely looking for support to build our chapter.

Agenda for the meeting:

nixstor would be updating us on the following issues.

(1) State Department's Forecast on the Visa Bulletin for the remainder of
the year

(2) Immigration legislation progress on the hill & WH so far

(3) Miken Institute Global conference on Housing and Immigration.

(4) DC/MD/VA chapter

Thanks,
Rayoflight

P.S Ask for the conference room at the library.

For those who are in MD and wondering why the Tysons location

(1) Unlike the Montgomery County Library facilities, Fairfax County library meeting rooms are free.

(2) Tyson's Pimmit is conveniently located off of 495.

The Job description that my employer used in LC a little different than my actual skills - i mean say the LC job desc is "Java-Jsp-Servlets -XML" and my actual desc is "Oracle - Datawarehouse - XML "

Do you think USCIS with reject my case because i changed my Employer ????

Thanks

My friend used AC21. He switched jobs after 6 months of filing for 485. He had a query on his 485 seeking experience letters for previous and current employment. He filed those and his 485 approved.

I think he has to give some BDS exam first to get a scroe and then using that he should be able to apply to various colleges. The course fees is about $200,000 . So if you can get admission somewhere and can pay the fees then he can be minting money soon:D

She's done it aready. Why worry about the future? I do not see a problem with switching from B2 to H1. Hope she was not working while on B2 :)

From the horse's mouth

"Adjustment applications and ancillary benefits � The new application fee for an I-485 is a package fee that includes associated EAD and advance parole applications. Thus, if you file an I-485 with the fee listed above, while you will still need to submit applications for an EAD and advance parole, you will not need to pay a separate fee so long as your adjustment application is pending. However, if you filed your I-485 before this fee change, to apply for or renew your EAD or advance parole, you must file a new application with the new fee for those applications."

The new fee for I-485 is $1010 but you do not need to pay any additional fees for EAD/AP renewal for the duration of the application which is pretty good saving in my view if you are an indian with with a PD of say 2005 or later under current law.

For comparision purpose, the current fees structure would cost you $325 (for I-485 - one time fee) + $180 ( EAD - Yearly renewals) + $170 (AP - Yearly renewals).

After writing this email, I realised it could be a decent savings under the new system for ppl like me (India.. 2005 PD). I would have gone for it had the fees kicked in earlier than the current July 30th date. Oh well. I will rather file my I-485 and take the AC-21.

I had my Labor go through without any issues. I haven't yet applied for 140.
what would happen if I apply for F-1 visa to pursue my studies as full time student since F-1 is a non-immigrant visa and I have cleared my labor.

I know I can't proceed with 140 since its a petition for immigrant status and my F-1 will be rejected. My question is does labor certification also affects F-1 visa application?

Thanks in advance

My wife switched from h4 to f1 status. you can do the same and status studies, assuming you have valid status/visa right now. Later you can get visa stamped.

H visa is dual intent, and f is non-immigration. Since you already have h visa it will not be a trouble. This is from my experience and some of my friends.

good luck .

If the non-profit that she plans on working for is (a) affiliated with an institute of higher education; or (b) a research organization;

then she should not be subject to the cap. Otherwise, the non-profit probably is subject to the H-1B cap, so she couldn't start until October 1.

Hi,

My H1 transfer got denied. My company said they are unlikely to file an MTR. I have a valid EAD and old company H1 (based on 140 approval) valid till Jan 2010.

Can i find other company and file a different H1 transfer based on my old company valid H1?

Please Advice.

Hi All ,

I am currently on L1B visa valid till Mar 09.

I can apply for renewal for the same in Sep 09 and wanted to check if there would be any issues as if i travel to india and return on the old petition in oct-nov 08 (in case the renewal is still pending).

Will my return on the old petition cancel my L1 renewal petetion ?

I am trying to get the L1 renewed as soon as possible so that i can file for EAD renewal for my spouse.

Any views would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Not advisable to apply for L1 extension now. You should do it after you are back from India. That is because, they will also extend your I-94 when you apply for extension (i.e the L1 extension approval notice will list your current I-94 number).

You would'nt want to end up in a state where you leave the country and return your current I-94 at the airport and CIS approves an extension on that I-94 (which you no longer have).

When you return, you will have a different I-94 that will be valid till Mar 09 and you have to file for extension again with that I-94. Alternately, you may go out of the country to get a new visa stamp before Mar 09 and re-enter with that visa stamp and get a new I-94...

convoluted, isnt it? Better to make that trip, come back, get a new I-94 and use that to extend your status.

Thank you for replying. My Apr 2008 EB3 PD is so deep in the pit that I better take chances to apply again in EB2 .

Clifford

I wish that the closest strawberries, which happen to be the brightest ones that draw attention, could be in better focus. Using a smaller aperture would bring more of the berries into focus. Otherwise, I really like the photo. Good job! :cool:

In my experience, that level of qualification might cut it for a community college (that gives associate degrees) or adjunct positions (very low paid temporary positions) in 4 year colleges, but won't for a full time tenure track position (requires Ph.D.). Business schools might have some flexibility in hiring if the person has a very strong business background (e.g., CEO of some company).

Anyway, most academic positions are advertised in academickeys.com and the Chronicle of Higher Education. Around bay area, other than Stanford and Berkeley, you have SJSU.

Have another question regarding AP, we have filed 485 in jul 07, we got Recept for AP, but no other updated on AP, in case of Emargency can we go to the local office to get AP, is there any Rule that poeple applied AP for the first time will not get the same from local office.

Pd: EB3, Aug 04
I 140 : Jan 07
485: Jul 07

check your AP application here https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/login.jsp and if is says approved then call your attorney. usually this AP approval goes to attorney if you use attorney during the filling.

if the online status is not yet approved then may be they are waiting for FingerPrinting to be done. Did your FP complete?

Hi ,

As many of you know that some have filed on their own and not through lawyer , pls update here if any of the self filers have received a RN or check got cashed .

also what is the alternative if we don't receive RN before 17th august , self filer are you planning to refile ?

CC = check cashed
RN = Receipt Notice

Thanks
