I am in the same boat:::::::::

July 2nd Filer.
Reciept notice received on October 11th on Phone.
Waiting for EAD,AP.
FP Not Done

I'm thinking about pursuing maser degree of Biostatistics.
I heard the job market demand is high and
most jobs require master degree at least.

As a research assistance, biostatistician, research analyst..

Could I apply as EB2 ?
Am I qualifed?

To your question:
Yes, You can apply under EB2 with Masters degree.

But do your own research on pursuing masters. It will take alteast 2+ years to complete and land on a job. The GC process and Economy might swing back or forth without your control.

I haven't file 485 and have no EAD.

Just an approved 140 with looming layoffs.

How many years do you have left on your H-1?

Are companies hiring people on H1b for permanent jobs? I seem to have a tough time finding companies that sponsor H1b. I thought the Big 5 Consulting firms did not sponsor H1b or GC? But, it seems from this post that I was wrong. Can someone tell me what companies (Fortune 500) companies sponsor H1b/GC or is there a list I can get from somewhere.


thanks,

Hi Guys,

My wife was on a H1B visa with a company until June 2010. She is no longer working and her Her H1B visa is now expired.

I am in the final stage of my green card process and we have both EAD and Advance parole. Since we have valid EADs and Advance Parole documents, we didn�t bother to pursue a H4 dependent visa for her. We are planning to go to Thailand next week for a 10 day vacation. I just want to confirm that she will be able to come back into the US with her Advance Parole document which is valid until June 2011.

I would really appreciate your quick response since we are looking to purchase tickets in the next couple hours.

Thanks and have a great weekend,

Advance Parole is good for re-entry (make sure that date is valid on the doc itself).

Unless you are sitting on a pile of cash, this is really a no brainer....

Like others have suggested :
(1) Give it to me, i will invest it for you..;-)
(2) Depends upon your familial situation and resources you have, both here and in your home country.
(3) If you plan to go back to India ( i am guessing yo are Indian..)

This really is a personal choice that you have to make, with your spouse. By posting such question on open public forums, you have just opened the floodgates to getting made fun of and ridiculed...believe me, it is very tempting...

hi dionysus
i got this from some requirement agencies

can we just buy a vacation for the burger king (a.ka. steve king) and ask him to go to bahamas or cancun or somewhere.... so that we can pass the recapture bill....

Thanks perm2gc!

Can you please tell me what you mean by labor. Is it the I-797 Notice of action (approval notice) for H1b, and letter from my current employer stating my current job status?

Thank you,

pradeep

File for her as CP. Whenever she is ready to move here have her get an H4 visa and then change CP to AOS when she gets here.

Caveat: I am not an attorney so ask your lawyer if this is a feasible option.

Congrads. Did your dependent got approved I-485?

I have created this thread to communicate and track MI chapter activities on creation of eGroups to serve the needs of the MI chapter

1) Data on 10/20 meet has been compiled and documented. Minutes of the Meeting will be provided to the attendees soon through a secure eGroup (files/document section)

2) Work in progress to provide a secure, trusted E-group which provides the best features available to our community. Pilot groups have been created in Yahoo and Google to study the features, ease of use and ease of management (for the mods).

Results so far

Google
---------
Pros :

1) New.
2) Has stacked thread view similar to Gmail.
3) Ease of use (not much functionality to confuse users).
4) Supports HTML pages and also commenting on those pages. Google search available to search the threads.
5) New, hence not blocked in many offices ( esp mine :))

Cons :

1) Buggiest of the three! (I created a 'Restricted' group. None of the links are working)
2) Key features such a Polls, Database missing.
3) Limited management options.

Yahoo
---------

Pros :

1) Stable
2) Lots of management options. Powerful
3) Powerful member features - Polls, Database

Cons:

1) Old/dated
2) Text only ( unless you send E-mails externally)
3) Options could be overwhelming to a new user!
4) Blocked in many offices ( E-mails can still be received. Other features like Polls, Database need to be accessed from home)

Right now, per my experience so far - Yahoo seems the best option. Let me know your ideas.

And once we decide on a platform

1) I need 2-3 days to setup the group to meet groups needs and expectations.
2) MI meet attendees will be sent invitations to join the group.
3) Others who responded to the Meet invitation but couldn't attend will be contacted to check if they wish to join the group
4) MI chapter eGroups successfully launched!

First i would like to thank all of them for providing me invaluable responses and support.


Since i work as a independent contractor i am not sure if i can complain to DOL.

I greatly appreciate if any one who went through this process can provide me a referral to a reasonable lawyer based in NJ in terms of fee and services .


Thanks a lot and god bless you all.

The greater danger in our lives is not that we set out aim to high and fail, but we set them too low, and still do.

What are you talking about?
Somebody here said Zoe Logfren was able to get her bill passed on wednesday. All I am doing is asking what was passed and where?

Am I missing something?

congrats man , have fun put up a big party rock and roll and jump man jump....... after so many years u got ur green..........

I filed in last week of June but have still not issued receipts. There are many like me. At the same time, some July 2 filers have receipts.

The explantion for this is that USCIS does not stricly follow first in, first out. They continue to process applications and issue receipt notices haphazardly, that is why some early filers have not recieved RNs while some later filers have. This has created a lot of confusion and anxiety.

The only thing that can help us is a legislative fix. Please help IV help ourselves!

Your sentences are confusing. Please no offense.

You can file your wife's I-485(derivative adjustment) once the PD is current. So just relax and keep on looking Visa Bulletin every month to check if the priority dates are current.

My case : got GC on June. Filed wife's case in June and she has an EAD.

All the best.

so here is exact question , what about if i get GC approval before my PD gets current?

Could you please clarify:
- what's the logic for not applying for 485 (when 140 is pending)? how can that save you any money?
- did you mean premium processing 140?

It saves you money because a I140 denial will result in 485 denial. You save the filing fee of 485.

I think more members will join and people will be willing to contribute more if they see positive things happening. Right now we seem to be going no where. Even if a basic thing like filing for 485 during retrogression gets passed, people will gain confidence in IV and they will be willing to contribute money.

I totally agree with you! Many members are doubtful of what IV can really do for legal immigrants. Many people think that nothing can be achieved with just less than 10,000 people. Without seeing any hope for any changes, people just feel desperate and stay where they are without thinking of this issue.

I've read a post in a Chinese immigration website regarding how they thought the immigration trends in the future. Most people, if not all, believed that most of the immigration bills, including CIR, SKIL, and 485 filing, have no chance to be passed in the congresses, not only this year, but also in the future. They thought that the only thing that had a chance was H1 quota increasing. I hope that's not true. But their arguments made sense. We believe that we contribute to this country so this country needs us. But Americans don't think so. Many ordinary Americans do not really care about legal immigrants. Those who care may have lost their jobs to us. Our employers don't really want us to get GC because we can change jobs freely once we have GC.

Those thoughts, combined with last year's facts, make people believe that we cannot make a change. But I believe that if IV can make any change in the near future, e.g. 485 filing, people would regain confidence and join this organization. This is like a vicious circle. People don't contribute, then IV cannot achieve goals. Thus more people lose confidence and contribute even less.

Please contact ashwin_27/nmdial/snathan to add you to the I485 filing initiative. Thanks. If many more like you could join the battle...we'd be victorious by now....
