Hi,
I just graduated with a Bachelor Degree, and I am currently on H1B. I am so concerned about the 5 year backlog on EB-3, which will take more 10+ years to become a citizen....
I am thinking about getting an online MBA degree from an accredited school ASAP, and ask my employer to promote me to a position that require an MBA, ex. manager. (I think it's not a problem in a small company) Will I be able to get into the EB-2 line?
Have anyone done that before? May you share your experience whether it's successful or not?
As long as your job (for which you are applying for the GC) requires it and you are qualified, you can apply in EB2 category. BTW, the 5 year wait is for ROW and not for over-subscribed countries such as India, China, mexico etc. Hopefully, you are from a ROW category country.
Good luck!

You can say 'Yes', but it will trigger unnecessary questions from IO. I am not sure about the consequences. If I were you, I would say NO as its not full time course and not going to change the status to F1. I beleive you should say 'YES' only if you change to F1 visa in the future.

1. Question regarding my I-94 form...
I have one which I got when entered US, 4 yrs back which is expired and after that I got new ones with each H1B application extension.
Should I send all of them or just the latest one? or the one i got while entering (Expired one)
2. Is it possible to travel on old AP While applying for EAD and AP renewal?
Thanks,

Gurus, please help. Can anybody throw some light on why my LUD has changed on I-485. Could it be because of name clearance.

Honestly, if the Democrats lose this seat, it is because of taking their voter base for granted.
Hopefully, this will light a fire under them and make them more focused on their promises.
I agree that if they lose this seat, it will be the end of CIS and it will be hard to pass any meaningful legislation for us either.

I think you should talk to a good lawyer immidiately. Waiting here for someone to answer would jeopardise your relatives entry back into US later. As per the law they should be leaving US as soon as you get the denials.
good luck.
good luck.

I have a question. Our files are stuck in the Chicago local office (after our interview last year) and the only thing pending is the Namecheck, which has been pending for more than 180 days. Our PD is current. Is anyone in the same position?
It is frustrating because you do not get any LUDs when your files are in the local office and I have no indication whether the Chicago officeis processing cases with NC pending > 180 days. Anyone knows?

Mmm.. here is a wrinkle scenario.. though it does not technically belong here...
I was overseas for a year (posted to another branch of the company, in another country, not my country of origin, for a year), just returned to US.
Would I be considered as "in US" all the time? And would I be considered to be "in US" for the time I was posted abroad?
The reason I'm asking is that given the way this is going with this legislation if if goes through, it might be better to be an "illegal" rather than legal. I see Zero talk about people in our situation (legal nomads).
Let us get to the bottom line.. is this legislation strategically really good for us? Is a "sneak" legislation better for us than a blanket amnesty which equates an illegal hedge pruner to a legal high skilled worker and makes no distinction?
Does it make more sense for us to have this legislation scuttled than face the prospect of seeing your friendly neighbourhood illegal plumber get on the gravy train while you wait and wait? (People like me would be waiting anyway even without this legislation)
I would really appreciate a strategic FAQ: What are we really fighting for here.. what are the likely compromises on the way..

Hi:
I received RFE (employment verification letter) from USCIS, texas center two years ago. I was still employed by the company who filed my GC application at that time. So the company replied and my case status was updated. But my PD was not current, so my case is still pending until now.
I lost job recently, if my PD became current in early 2010, will USCIS EVL me again?
I know no one can predict how USCIS works. I just want to check if anyone had experience that was checked employment status twice?
Thanks

What format are you saving images in? As I understand from what I've been told (I've shot with a D70, D1, and D200, but not a D100), the D100 can be quite a pain to use with compressed RAW, as it becomes very slow; are you sure the settings haven't somehow gotten changed to use RAW compression?

Hi, guys,
I'm having a little trouble with counting the years of experience for my EB2 petition. My attorney said I can only count the number of years I worked before joining the current sponsoring company!! The situation is, I jointed this company in Jan 2004. But my petition (Labor) appliction only started at the end of 2006. My attorney says that the three years of working experience (04, 05 & 06) can not be counted!
Is he correct on this?
thanks.

not sure about I-140, i think it should be ok to mention your spouse name but check with your immigration lawyer about this.
NOTE: as far as i know, if your wife is in H4 visa, you can file her AOS (I-485) as your spouse. But if she is in F1 visa, you CANNOT file her I-485 as your dependent along with your I-485 since she is in F1 student visa. but check with your immigration lawyer about this..
Disclaimer: I'm not an attroney so Consult an immigration lawyer about your situation.
I am on H1-B, and about to apply for I140.
My wife has recently got a F1 visa (and her H4 visa has been left valid).
I am applying for I140. Is it ok to mention her name on my I140 as my spouse?
Thanks in advance,
Ace

I have exactly the same question.
If you look at VFS appointment scheduling if it is more than 1 year that your 797 was renewed and if you did not go for stamping they put you under different class of renewal.
You can check this by going to VFS appointment site and there they ask the question are you applying for the same class of visa that got expired 1 yr ago or something like that...
Can anyone shed some light on this. Since i am on the same boat like the person who asked this question.

My company applied for my L1B petition in 2007 which was approved and I got an L1 visa in Mar 2007 which was valid until Aug 2009. However I traveled to the U.S only in December 2008. Since my L1 visa was expiring by Aug I applied for a L1 extension in May 2009. This was rejected in August due to some confusion with the I-94. So I had to travel back to India in Aug 2009.
I then applied for a fresh L1 visa based on my company's L1 Blanket petition. I got this new L1 visa in Sep 2009 and returned back to the U.S. This new visa is valid until Sep 2011.
My question is can I apply for another L1 extension?
Will my visa duration or stay duration be considered when applying for another extension?
I have stayed in the U.S on L1 status only from Dec 2008 - Am I not allowed 5 years?
Also I am not sure whether I have exhausted my quota of extensions. Will my case be considered as 2.5 years the first time and 2 years extension the second time?
Or will the Blanket visa be considered a fresh start allowing me another extension?
Also what will happen if I transfer to H1 at this point of time ... will my L1 stay duration or my L1 visa duration be considered when deciding the H1 visa validity?
Please help with some answers...
