Hi all!
Wat would be the status of F1 student (OPT) mother of a US born baby after her visa expires, who is a single parent???

It would be illegal.

I have applied AP for my family 3 weeks before. My wife needs to go India by end of next month. If AP approval doesn't come to our hand by next month, can she leave the country? If she shouldn't, what are the alternate options? I appreciate your help.

If she needs the AP to return to the US, then she cannot leave until she has that AP in her hand. However, she may be able to return in H or L status IF she has been maintaining that status . If she is in a dependent status (H-4 or L-2), she can use that to return if you are maintaining the principal H-1B or L-1 status and if she has not worked.

Folks,
Mine is 2003 EB3 labor, I don�t have copy of the labor. Don�t know the job code and title, planning to switch AC21 and not sure how to get this code as i had already left the old blood sucking desi employer, any suggestions,
Thanks in advance.
:D

Keep faith in yourself and the Lord, some day it will happen for sure.

Prayatna (Try): We already did apply
Pratiksha(Waiting): We are already doing it.

and

Prarthna(Prayer): If not doing, try it. It works for all.

I can feel your concern, jk. Am in the same situation. We just got our GC along with our daughter, EB2, PD of Aug02. Our son, however, turned 21 in 2004 and missed the boat because labor was stuck in BEC till 2007.

The rule is that the child should be less than 21 at the time 485 is applied. The CSPA of 2001 gives credit for the time 140 was pending. In most cases this effectively means that the age is locked on the date of 140 application.

The CSPA does not give credit for the time labor is pending. Labor pending was not backlogged when CSPA was enacted, 140 was. Hence the law.

I do not know if there is any way out. I have heard that the aged-out child might be able to claim the PD of the parents if and when s/he applies for GC based on own employment. Nothing authentic, though.

GOK= god only knows..if you know anything about USCIS you will know that such things are impossible to provide guidance on.. ;-)

Why is Tata giving such huge donations to schools in US that are already established?
I would think he should have given donations to schools or colleges in India that really need it. Especially in remote villages where there are no schools or proper infrastructure.
Good question.
I am busy in meetings today and this weekend. But I will have some time on Monday. Please remind me on Monday to ask him your question. Thank you. :D

For those worried about not being able to live in the UK, I say "Don't worry, you are not missing a great deal".

I have lived & worked in UK for a couple of years many years back. Like most of my acquaintances at that time I didn't (want to) live there long. Most of my friends left for US, I returned to India. And then to US.

Life is US has its problems, the immigration backlog is one of them. But it is really a walk in the park compared to that in Britain. UK is one of the most racist society I have ever seen. There is racism in all countries (even in India, we call it Casteism) but no where as overt as in UK. In UK, the work culture isn't all that great, life is boring and the weather sucks. No wonder a recent investigation by BBC reported that 7 out of 10 Britons now prefer to live outside UK mainly because it's high cost of living, lack of livable space and for little more sunshine. And that number is growing every year. In % terms, that's the highest number and in absolute terms it is the 3rd highest expat population of any country, only India & China ranks higher. Britons now prefer the sunny & more livable places such as Spain (culture), Australia (language) and Florida (proximity).

When I left UK, it was with relief. Now when I visit UK on work or enroute to other countries, I feel sorry for the folks back there. I would any day prefer living in India - if not in US - than living in UK.

Bumping up.....

Hi All,

We need to work towards fixing the USCIS Online Case Status System of Texas Service Center, lot of people are not receiving updates in email/website about their cases.

How will you do that? I guess, while working on cases, user has to click somewhere to send an email. If they choose not to, then there will be no email. In my case, I never saw consistency in getting emails. I don't think that is a big issue, just check your status periodically. Bigger and important issue is how to get your case processed faster, and in sequence.

Thanks for quick reply.

As of now, my friend is getting trained by local institutes in other IT realted field and searching for job. If things go well he might get a project in a month or so.

Q.Till he gets a project what risk does he have to his status?
Q.If he gets a project will everything be ok?

Pls advise

Thank you.

Hi, Last August 07, I have applied for 140 & 485 and have a priority date of Feb 2005. I got married in July 08. Now, I can't apply 485 for my spouse as dates are not current. My 140 got approved. I am just worried that My 485 might get approved before I could apply 485 for my spouse. And no one knows when 485 date will be current again. Any ideas? Any one is in my situation?
Thanks.

Hi,

My friend got EAD.His wife is on F1 visa.If he starts using EAD instead of applying for H1 extension, Can he able to join his wife to his GC process who is currently on F1 when his priority date become current.His priority date is Sept06.140 Approved.july 2, 2007 filer.485 is pending.

Thanks

Please update your profile.

Hi,

My 9th year H1 expires this month and I am planning to use EAD to continue in my job (not extending my H1B). Can you please tell:

1) What do I need to do to with respect to Employer and USCIS to move to EAD status from H1B?

let your HR know you are switching and they will have you fill in a new form for their files

2) I read in some forum posts: there is a new law OR amendment - people working on EAD with adjustment of status will be deported.. we need to continue maintaining H1B status..is it legitimate?

No

3) My current Advance Parole is valid till Oct'09. As I move to EAD, is AP renewal required for any other reason other than travel purpose?

EAD and AP are 2 separate things and neither affect each other. They are both based on a pending 485 application and that's about all that is common with those 2 filings.

Thanks
AjaySri

Hope this info helps.

What is the Cutomare service No to Contact ( I dont have the receipt nUmber)

Dear Friends,
My PD (EB3)is Dec-02. I have gone for Finger Printing twice now.
I see lot of reference to '45 Day letter' in the forum . I have no recollection of receiving the '45 Day ' letter so far.
Am I missing something here?
Can any one of you please explain what this letter is about?
Thanks,
Sreekanth

Mostly IV and Immigration committee chair women, but how does it matter now.

I think It matters as what worked this time may also work for future issues like SKIL bill, raising GC quota, etc etc.

yea, maybe so jamie - i just wanted the "c" to stay within the confines of the square, and throw in a "circle" figure within all those ... squares. :)

:smirk: what do all you guys think?

Hi,

I am Us citizen and sent a request letter with my Mom to US Embassy in Armenia to kindly grant my Mom a tourist visa to visit me and my new born son. I also signed and sent dully filled and signed Affidavit of Support form with all the requested paper work. However, my Mom was denied the tourist visa on the grounds that I did not returned to Armenia in 2000 (8 years Ago) before my J1 Visa expiration.
But I got visa extension befor J1 visa expiration then applied for permanent resident and got my green card).
I did not violate any regulation.
What can I do ? Please Help.

I think a good Attorney can draft a letter to the consulate explaining the waiver.

Don't we all agree that these agencies actually need lawyers and not us?
