The withdrawal of the H-1B is not really what decides whether you are out of status. Presumably the former employer withdrew because you no longer work there. In that case, you have been out of status since you came off payroll.

However, if there is only a short gap between your last paystub and when the new company files the H-1B, you could still be approved for a change of employer and extension. You should discuss with the lawyer preparing the new H-1B.

You should not be subject to the cap in any case, since you were already counted towards the cap within the past 6 years.

Hi:

I am currently using EAD. My I-485 is pending status. I am planning to get married in India soon. She will be in India as I can not bring her on H4 and student visa is difficult. So dilemma is about 485 name addition. Can I add spouse's name in I-485 application whenever Priority Date is current?

If yes, then how does it work? I mean is it possible at all?

It is going to be difficult. She has to come in on some kind of dual-intent visa. She could come in on a student visa but would be difficult to prove that she does not intend to immigrate in the interview if they find out about your I-485. Alternatively, you would have to get a H1 and she would have to come in on a H4.

This is not legal advice, please consult a lawyer for your specific case.

My wife changed her status from B2 to H1 in US.Her H1 was approved without any problems.Could that cause any probelms in the future when she applies for green card.What is the chance to get her H1 denied in the consulate if she travels abroad because she changed from visitor to work visa in US?
Thanks

If the gap between arriving on B2 and converting to H1B was less than 3 months, there could be a problem with "intent" as H1 is considered a dual intent (temporary non-immigrant worker who may have the intention of applying for a permanent immigrant visa i.e., GC) visa while B2 is not. While filling up the B2 application, there is a question which we need to answer NO asking this very question. I assume your wife answered NO during the B2 process. So, with H1 in less than 3 months (if this is the case) or arrival, she has "lied" in her B2 application as per the immigration laws.

I may be wrong.Please consult an attorney if needed.

Just Google Credential evaluation services, you can find couple in your area.

1 . Where is the donor forum? I could not find it
Donor Forum is visible only to the donors in the forum page.
2. I am a donor (two times). But I do not have access to it.
Donor forum access is provided to verified current donors only. Past donors cannot subscribe to this forum - it does not work like yearly/lifetime membership. To have continuous access to the donor forum, you will have to be a recurring donor.
However, if you have donated recently and cannot access donor forum, please contact me and I will be glad to help. Thanks.

So IV do not provide the important news to the members who are not donors. That is unfair. Even though I have not filed my green card I have donated some amount in the past.

Don't tell me you got one for this!

The job does not need to require Masters degree. Unlike Greencard filing under EB2 vs EB3 it is not any harder to get H1 under Masters quota, all you need is Masters from accredited univ. You need to figure out what the RFE is for.

It's about time the govt decided to question H1B visa hogging companies.

Let's hope some thing good comes out of this grilling

the date
:rolleyes:(not number of days to president signs)

thanks

Hi, My mother lives in Haiti, i was not able to file a petition for her before the earthquake happened. Now with all of that going on, i need to know how to file and get her quicker to the us? Any response will be greatly appreciated, thank you

Thanks for the link GC_ASP.

Health insurance is a daunting concern, esp. in times like this. One suggestion is to think about High deductible HSA plan. This plan will work best for People who are healthy and have no health issues, but want to cover for the unexpected emergencies.

For example, I opted for 0/1500 plan through Kaiser Permenante. This plan will allow you to roll over the extra $s into next year and from next year to the next, etc. You will build an account (and I think can invest the money to grow it further). You can use the funds from the account that you built over the years to pay for future expenses. But the catch is, they will pay for your claims only after you spend the first 1500/Yr. Basically, this is an option to control how you want to spend for your medical expense.

Like I said its good for healthy adults. For children this may not work, because they might need more medical care than healthy adults.

Cheers!

I am currently on H1B, and my current company is not willing to sponsor me for GC. I am in my 5th year. I have found another company who has agreed to hire me and start my gc process, however, I am in a fix. This new offer is in CA and I am currently in NJ (+ my family)

I don't want to take this option unless it is absolutely necessary. My spouse, has the I-140 approved and not yet filed I-485. PD is Jan 04, EB3.

What are my options?

How many months left for you in fifth year? You need atleast 6 months to join another company so that they can do all the necessary steps in those 6 mnths before they file PERM. Are you trying to transfer to consultancy or full time employer?

Dear IV members,

We have a very big media opportunity to have our voices heard. A high profile reporter is writing a story with a slighly different angle by covering the immigration plight of our muslim members.

IV does not ask or maintain data on religion/faith/ethinicity of our members and we do not differentiate members based on such criterias.

However it is a need of this reporter and we wish to help in getting this story out in a major newspaper with immigration issues we are fighting for.

If you have a compelling story and you are a muslim IV member, please contact me or Salil (raydhan@immigrationvoice.org) from IV core ASAP with your contact and a brief detail about your plight.

Pappu, In one of the midwest calls i attended there was a member from Pakistan who had a Sorry story to tell. I dont remember his name. Get in touch with PASKAL who leads the efforts from Midwest(Minnesota). He should be able to point you to the right person.

Thanks I_need_GC

thanks fittan, actually the salary will be much lower, about 30K - 40K lower. is there any problem?

haha, great story on how it all just worked :P

Are you sure someone didn't plant those oranges for you to find?

Yeah pretty much, they were all over the place :P

1. An F2B petition can be converted and you will retain the original priority date as long as you do not marry before your father is granted citizenship.

2. You can and probably should pursue both family based and employment based permanent resident status simultaneously.

Immigration laws are a federal mandate. It does not matter where your lawyer is based...........

Try to get a good lawyer. Where they are located should never be a consideration.

You must have filed 2 G28s ( 1for you and 1 for spouse) with the 485. With that logic, when you change attorney, separate G28s are needed to be filed for you and spouse.

#1 is really a nice shot Antonio. Good lighting, shadows and balance. I am also impressed with your concert photography pictures at your website. BRAVO!

Bill, thank you so much for the comments and visit my site :D
