I think there is another option too. If she can get in touch with a hospital here, she can come directly for fellowship after which she will have to practice within the same hospital. Some specialties like Radiology and Pathology give you unrestricted license to practice anywhere in US after putting up with the fellowship for certain number of years (5 years in case of radiology). Please check this fellowship option with others who might be more knowledgeable.

Please name your thread appropriately, dont make it look like an ad for caregiver. Also, you are going to need an attorney for this and you will not be able to get your problem solved with forum posts.

I am going to allow this thread as we have allowed H4 related and visitor visa related threads for people before, and all visitors visa thread are non-immigrant visa related thread even if they are for parents of EB immigrants.

And please ... no more arguments between "This forum is overly Indian/Chinese" versus "This forum is not so".

There is a naturally high number of posts about indians/chinese because retrogression victims from India and China outnumber rest of the world proabably 8 to 1.

My lawyer also says the same. I'm also in similar condition where company is applying for 1 1140's.

Regd experience, I dont know if USCIS calls an employer.


Well, USCIS would/may call the person who has given the reference.
It may be very well be possible that this particular person is currently working for a different company.

If No I-94 attached with the approval notice then you need to get the stamping when you tavel outside the country.

Thanks everyone for sharing your experience.. After reading your post I was much relaxed to use AP at SFO to reenter.

I just returned and immigration check went very smoothly. It took 30 mnts to get to the first IO (as couple of flights landed at the same time) . He asked me to go for the secondary inspection and I was out within 20 mnts tops. No questions asked, just asked to sit. My IO was normal but there was another female IO who was acting stuck up with others.

A very smooth experience..! wife , Son and I came back on last Sunday on AP. No issues whatsoever. Had to go through secondary inspection but was through in 35-40 mins.

I am speaking from experience. Download the forms needed for filing 485, EAD and AP. Then when your attorney send you his/her set ( normally they do this in 2 stages - one they will send you a draft copy to verify and correct all info - some have online questionnaire; stage two - they send the final forms for you to verify and sign again - this they may do paper copy or online PDF - that cannot be edited - not fill able forms).

So, here I am providing links to all forms that I know are needed. These from uscis.gov site are fill able. Weekend is coming. Fill them, and print and keep them.

When attorney sends papers, compare yours with their and do corrections in theirs ( usually it will have stamps of the firm)

Application To Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status - I-485 (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-485.pdf)

Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status - I-693 (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-693.pdf)

There is a supplemental 693 also for vaccination records.

Biographic Information - I-325 A (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/g-325a.pdf)
There are A, B, C and other versions. I filled A

Application for Employment Authorization - I-765 (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765.pdf)

Application for Travel Document - I-131 (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-131.pdf)

Affidavit of Support - I-134 (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-134.pdf)

I completed all these forms with 100% correct info- still the Paralegal - made mistakes again and again ( I can't correct the PDF as Adobe PDF writer is 1800 USD). I lost ONE precious week. Hoping to file on 06/01/2007, filed on 06/08. Learn and be wiser from experience, yours and others.

Just sent this to 10 of my friends, keep spreading the word

www.immigrationvoice.org succesfully manages to revoke decision!!! Now its your turn to help them by contributing so that they can help you in future for action items like
recapture of visas wasted last few years
remove country based quota for employment based GC

and many more. Also remember it is non-profit and run by people like us stuck in this process.

Cheers and for confirmation check the article below from business week,

My parents visited here in US last year. Unfortunately my mother got high fever and admitted in hospital giving me bill of 30000$.

Insurance company denied my claims as pre existing condition. I tried several ways to convince insurance company but all in vain.

I negotiated with hospital to pay 15000 and paid off hospital bill.

I also got a doctor bill later and that went to collections. I didnt pay doctor bill (500 dollars) till today.

Does this 500 dollar collection notice will effect my mothers next visit?
If I pay now does it matter anyway?
Is there any chance of deportation?

Please advice...

Not paying the $500 is bad for your credit history. However, they should have no effect on your immigration --- AFAIK, the only thing they check if you were ever on public assistance ...

Thanks for sharing your experience.. BTW, were you using your AP for the first time? I have heard that while traveling on AP you need to go through secondary screen, which takes time. Is that true?

Yes you have to go to secondary inspection. Time depends on how many other people are referred to secondary inspection. There will be some with AP some with other issues. In my case, there were 7-8 people ahead of us and it took close to 90 minutes.

HTH

Agree.
Initial Evidence for I-485 includes
1. Copy of approved I-140 (or concurrent filing or I-140 receipt)
2. Employment Letter (for GC job)
3. Proof that person is maintaining valid status in USA since last entry in USA

Not a legal advice
----------------------------------
Permanent Resident since May 2002

When you say

Proof that person is maintaining valid status in USA since last entry in USA

What documents prove that exactly?

Eligible for 3 years if I140 is approved and you can't file I485 because of retrogression. But you said , you had already filed I485. I doubt you are eligible for 3 year extension.

thats not how USCIS interprets this (see the FAQ they released recently). They will give you a 3 year extension if 485 cannot be APPROVED because PD is not current, not only in the case where 485 cannot be FILED.

The wording of AC21 is a bit vague (3 year extension eligibility once 485 is filed) but USCIS interpretation has been clear until now in what they have been doing, and with the FAQ they even put it in print!

you can go to any consulate in india to get you visa stamped, regarding PIMS verification no idea in india if you can verify before you go for stamping.

Helo Indiana Guys/Gals,

Can we have some get together.If some member is in Indianapolis.Pl contact me 317-225-4349.

If I remember my Uncle's word correctly, it was Ted Kennedy who was instrumental in relaxing (changing) the rules for future immigrants in 60 or 70's. Only then, we saw a huge increase in immigrants from India especially doctor's and engineers in 60's & 70's.

Obtaining Green cards (or permanent resident stamps in the passport) at the port of entry if you had a degree in medicine or engineering and a job offer from an American company. Of course the total population of Indians in the US even until the late 80s was about 900 thousand. Only when the tech boom started in 1993-94 did immigration especially from India go up rapidly.
Also unlike now, a H1B was strictly for 6 years, no extensions until you spent 1 year outside the country and came in on a fresh petition.

EB3-I, PD Nov 2002, 485 filed 2004. Have EAD and also have approved H1 (year 9 -12), but not stamped on passport. With about 7000 people ahead of me, wait time for my GC is estimated to be 2-3 years.

Have been with employer who filed GC for over 10 years now. There is a job opportunity with another employer, but the job description may be different from what was filed on my original GC. Pay will be similar, but travel will substantially reduced, allowing me to be home more.

What should I be careful of if pursuing this new opportunity? Is there anything I should be asking the new employer for related to the job description filing? Should I be asking them to file H1 transfer or use my EAD? Should I ask them to file EB2-I and port my PD over?

Thanks - just want to make sure I am not jeopardizing my 10 year wait for this opportunity.

1. Make sure that your new company's HR and lawyer are comfortable in supporting the fact that new job is same or similar to old job. It is a grey area and you can be the best judge on it.

2. When you join the new employer ask their attorney to send AC-21 letter to USCIS indicating that you have moved to a same or similar job based on AC-21 porting.

3. Filing for H1 or EAD is a personal choice - as far as GC processing goes I don't see a difference in using either.

4. If they are willing and and the position qualifies you to file EB-2 and port PD- sure go ahead.

The article says they spend some thing like $20, 000 for their journey. How can a person who can not afford 2 square meals a day, come up with $20, 000?

Something is fishy.

Why blame illegal Indians? They are desperate for survival and come to USA to earn 2 square meals a day.

What about the Legal Indians? The so called best and the brightest.
Even legal Indians commit acts that bring shame. Just go to any anti-immigrant website and you will see tons of news article links. This is why antis call Indians slumdogs

Thanks for the information. On november 9, 2007, I called using other options and CSR level 2 took my data to begin a report. Today, I followed your instructions to check if there was a more effective way to obtain an aswer, but I am really dissapointed. CSR used my name to look in their system. The only thing that she could found was my H visa application. She never mentioned that there was an investigation due to my call of november 9. Finally she just asked me to wait 30 more days, and neven mention the option to place a report.

Hi akilaakka,
It was EB1-EA ("extraordinary ability") category.
Cheers.

ask them to quote the section of the law which makes it not legal for L1 visa holders not to participate in 401K. I am very curious to know.
