Hi

I am about to start my process for green card. Not the best of times to file, but I absolutely cant afford to lose more time. My filing would be in EB3 as I have a 3 year bachelor degree. I have a professional accounting degree also but I dont think I would be making use of it. My approach right now is of least risk.

What I am little concerned about is the designation / job code to use. Though I have worked as a Programmer Analyst till now for 8 years now with some elements of Business Analysis - my idea is file as a Systems Analyst (Onet code - 15-1051.00 ). The reasons are two fold - one, to allow me to work as Business / Financial Analyst when I decide to change my role couple of years down the line and second, to limit the number of responses to advert given present market conditions.

I am not sure if what I am trying to do has any risks. My lawyer suggests that I should put only and only those elements in advert, for which I can provide experience letters at I 140 stage. So the exact business analysis elements may be difficult to get, but I see the job description at Onet site can quite fit my profile well. (I have done requirements analysis in my last job)

Also I am wondering if I need this approach at all. Like if I would want to work as a Business Analyst later on, I could file an another labor in anycase - the time lags to get 485 cleared are so long that I can get another labor approved before I apply for 485. This way right now I can get the priority date crystallized first up and care about job role later on.

However I dont know if the other reason - to prevent too many applications by posting this job code is a pragmatic one or not.

Please advise. Thanks much in advance.

Here is s tricky situation :

8th Year H1 extension applied by current company. Still in process, should be approved in Nov 2006.

Can I transfer to a new company using this H1 ?

I have EAD, can I work on 1099 as self employed?

You should only disclose class B misdemeanors and up. I would think that your citations are class C misdemeanors, which are same as traffic violations. I don't think you are required to disclose those, unless you got arrested, taken to court, etc. Just my opinion.

Hi Almond and dilbert_Cal,
I am in my seventh year of h1. I applied for one year extension.Not granted yet.
So do I have to wait to get the extension approved ? Can I get my 140 approval and re-appy for 3 year extension and then make the move ?

I am really grateful for that bit of info previously.

Hi Guys,
As always thanks for all of your help who are out there and lending a hand to each other in this immigration mess.

After denial of I-140 (EB3) in November of 2007 in response to my A2P RFE, I filled for appeal in December 2007. Now my case is in appeal with AAO. My H1b is expiring in June 2008. I am hoping to get an extension based on my pending appeal.

In the meantime, another company has offered me a job and agreed to file the labor of my behalf. In the current situation of mine, where appeal is pending, which will take a long time for the final decision, my lawyer suggested to file the new labor through that company and this time under EB2 catagory. I dont have masters degree but I have BS computer science and now more than 5 years of US experience. He suggested EB2 since for my home country EB2 is always current.

I just want to get an opinion for all of you about this situation of mine, and filing labor under Eb2 cat under PERM. The position in the new company is Senior Security Analyst and requires Masters degree or 5 years of experience.

Also , what is the process of getting extension on H1b while appeal is pending and how early should I file the extension before June 2008.

I did post another thread related to the last issue regarding the H1 extension here

I apologize for this, I should have remove that one but am unable to find the delete option
Thanks in Advance

Very good!!! I guess it relates to most of us..

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!

Can you get second OPT doing a different Master's though you already had Master's. Did something change? The last I checked, you could get your second OPT only if you complete a higher degree like PhD than what you have.

Please advice. Thanks

cool thanks, r there any tutorials for this?

A member suggested that it maybe a good idea to have IV presence on facebook. This will help increase our publicity among our friends whom we can recommend to join. Our aim is to get as much publicity and membership at this time so that we can succeed in our upcoming campaigns.

We have a group called 'Immigration Voice' on Facebook now started by IV core.

Could you now help us increase the publicity of IV on facebook among your friends so that we get more participation on IV site

Someone who knows facebook well, pls post ideas how we can use it best to our advantage.

I believe so....if your LC is approved in August, then your PD is August. It is not qualified under July VB.

gc_check are you paying attention? :) That is already linked there.

There is an error in the article.
It does not say that H1B workers lack any courage and will power to stand up for themselves. They lack unity, are narrow minded and cannot work together. Their high education works in their disadvantage because they use to fight within themselves. As long as they cannot stand up and support their own cause, it is good news for anti-immigrant organizations.

Ask the Indians (native Indians, but why make the distinction ;) ), they will say every american, non-american in this country is illegal! :D
