Your friend has to wait till he gets his citizenship. A GC holder can only sponsor someone to visit, but can't sponsor another person for GC. A citizen surely can. I heard that an immigrant could apply to USCIS to grant spouse also a GC based on hardship grounds. But I would not bet on largesse of USCIS. It is a headache dealing with bureaucrats, lawyers and appeals.

If your friend had a traditional marriage (Church/Temple/Mosque etc ...) and not registered it or just an engagement, it should be fine. There is a risk that your friend's (would-be) wife might be denied entry into USA based on marriage to an immigrant. F-1 VISA holders are not supposed to have immigration intent.

Once his (would-be) wife lands here, your friend should have a registered marriage in USA. She has to continue on F-1 VISA till he gets his Citizenship.

There was a V VISA provision which expired as of December 2001 or 2000. This would have allowed GC holders to bring their spouses on V VISA. Ask your friend to join the groups which campaign for this provision. :)

Can you give some inputs on my query..??

I am now thinking of joining an Indian based company and work for same company in US. With this I can always have a base in India and can think of relocate back if need arises. Can anyone tell me the recruiting procedure for some major companies for an applicant like me ? or How to get a recruited to Indian company while being in US..??

My area of expertise is ASP.net 3.5, AJAX, SQL Server., C#. I hold BE in CS and later completed MS in US. I have been working in US from past 5 years after completing MS.

Greatly appreciate any inputs on this�

Interesting queston. Now if you want to look for such a job, you need not really restrict to Indian based companies like TCS , INFY etc... A lot of MNCs have moved IT to India and other countries - A lot of American companies do have offshore development centers in other countries - right from Microsoft, Dell, HP, AMD .................the list will go on and on - a lot of employees relocated to their home countries and some also travel back and forth on business trips ...

Now, if you think that it is in your best intrests to join companies like Infosys, TCS etc.. a lot of those jobs are filled via referrals through existing employees or once in a while they have reqruiting drive across the country

Please, respond with any advice/experience

It is difficult to predict the timeline.
The house members are not happy with the Senate bill.
I have read that the conference committee may meet next monday ( all hearsay).

We can only pray and hope for the best.

how long is the conference comittee process? and after that should the bill go thru house also? or will it go to president's desk??

I only got time to smell/touch the card. Before I could taste it I had to mail it back for replacement due to incorrect information on the card

We did not send any original passports to NewYork consulate. Only notarized photocopies.

Hmmm, why is this in Job Offers? :h:

Hi everyone,

Any answers on that? Any ideas?

Thank you

Dude, its about Illegal Immigration,......nothing to do with legal immigration or any laws pertaining to backlogs etc !!

r u almost closeto ur GC is that so?

If not EB1, even EB2 is fine because you belong to UK and EB2 is current for you. If you claim EB1, you can easily apply in EB2 and it's "current" for you.

Sit back and enjoy man...

When you give your FP had nothing to do with the date your NC is initiated (done a couple of weeks after ND)


I am not sure what is the process after fingerprinting. Can someone please clarify?

I believe NameCheck must have been initiated. As far as processing 485 is concerned, does the PD have to be current?

I am trying to figure out what is the tentative schedule for the "magical" GC to appear in my mailbox :) ?

I would appreciate any pointers / links

- H1B is good as long as employer-employee relationship is maintained, which in your case should be fine
- You may have issues with 140 approval (Just my opinion, I may be wrong)
- If you are considering H1 transfer, that may have issues as you may not have latest paycheck..

Thanks for the reply. Is I-140 very dependent on company's financial position? What if actually everything goes back on track and I get my pay and stuff?

Can you please elaborate your views about I-140 here?

Thanks again!!

My i485 was filed in july �07 and I got my AP in oct. �07, which is valid up to oct. �08
I want to go to India for 9 months, can I stay for that much period?
I will enter in USA in feb.� 09 on my H1-B VISA STAMP ONLY, BUT NOT ON AP.
Is this work? Any questions at POE about the long stay outside USA?
Any adverse effect on GC process? Pl. help.

Thanx goosetavo...every single bit helps a lot...very highly appreciated!

Hi,

I came to US on L1 Visa and later applied for COS to H1 last year. I work for consulting company. My client wants me to travel to Nigeria for 3-4 weeks for project implementation. I would like to if I can get my H1 Visa stamping there. Will there be any issues in getting the stamping and should I need to do any legal preparation for the same ?

I would like to hear advice from seniors and anyone who has faced similar situation.

Thanks and Regards,
Arun

Is your filing date 6/13/2007? Perhaps they are working on your case. Cross check with perhaps they are touching your application

Hello,

My 6 year H1 term expires on Feb-2010. I have a I-140 pending in NSC since July-2007 with no signs of movement.

Hypothetically, if my I-140 gets processed after Feb-2009 and is denied (God forbid!), then will I be able to extend my H1 visa? If so, on what basis can I do it?

I do understand that H1 can be extended only before 6 months of expiration if and only if I have a I-140 pending or approved.

Thanks!

These are all free, and theres tons of them. :)

See this from FAQ1 released by USCIS itself


Q6: What happens if an application is filed at the wrong Service Center?
A6. Forms I-485 should be filed at either the Texas or Nebraska Service Centers. However, through August 17, 2007 only, employment-based adjustment applications filed at the California and Vermont Service Centers will not be rejected and will be relocated to the appropriate Service Center. Filing at the wrong location could result in processing delays.
