Can anyone please reply.
Your wife can apply for SSN and can work on using EAD. This will not affect your status. You can still work on H1.

Hi,
I am currently working on a fulltime H1B and my GC process is going on with second stage (I140) in progress. Now my old employer wants me to work parttime for them which I agreed upon but this is a possibility only if I have a parttime H1B applied w.r.t old employer which I am thinking to apply for it and work parttime. But my question here is does this effect my GC processing? If it is what are the effects? Please reply me back. Thanks a lot.
Regards

EAD 1: valid from Jan10 2005- Jan 9, 2006
on July 11, 2005 you applied for EAD 2
On July 29 , 2005 you got it approved. What will be EAD 2 's start date? 30 July , 2005 or Jan10, 2006?
If 30 July 2005, then basically you loose 6 months of time, that means you are getting EAD of 6 months duration.

Hi All,
I opened a service request with USCIS when my I485 was current in 09/08 and i got response saying that still investigation into my background remains open, so the case is not yet ready for decision. I filed my I 485 in August 2005 and in july 2007(then my file was current) also i was told that the background check is still going on.
Now we know that if it has been more than 180 days after we file I485, no need to wait for background check to process the petetion. My intention is to get my file out of this loop by the time PD becomes current. If any one had this issue and got it resolved, please advise me how i can handle it.
Thanks.

This is Indian Citizen marrying another Indian Citizen, Green card holder does not have a seperate citizenship! Srinivas having said that. Best way is get her an H1B visa. otherwise whe have to wait long years. but If you are a US citizen then things can change. You can get her in US in K Category Visa and file an I-130
But seek your attonrney's advise always.
Congrats to You and Would be!
May GOD Bless.

My current status is H1B with I-140 approved. I am planning for a fulltime MBA for which I have to transfer my visa to student visa. I heard from some sources that I cannot transfer to student visa when my 140 is approved. Does anyone here knows how far this is true?

Hi to all,
I met with a potential client who is an illegal immigrant living in the US. She has a child who is a US citizen. The father was voluntarily deported and the mother gave him permission to take the child back to their home country to visit the grandparents. The father was supposed to make sure the child returned to the US within 3 months. It has been 6 months. If my client files an application under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, will the US Government begin deportation proceedings?

The H-2B program is critically important for many businesses that have difficulty finding U.S. workers to fill temporary jobs. This is particularly true in seasonal industries. Comments from H-2B employers attest to the need for foreign workers in physically demanding seasonal jobs, often in remote locations, that many U.S. workers will not take.
The H-2B nonimmigrant visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137785.html) program permits employers to hire foreign workers to come to the U.S. and perform temporary nonagricultural work, which may be one-time, seasonal, peak load or intermittent and there are no qualified and willing U.S. workers available for the job. Note that this visa is not available for "temporary" agencies or other work placement agencies.
In order to learn more about employers� perceptions of the H-2B program, ImmigrationWorks USA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce conducted a survey: five short questions distributed among H-2B employers in July and August 2010. The survey asked how many H-2B workers the company had hired in the last three years and what types of jobs those workers held. It included two open-ended questions about the benefits of using the program and asked what if any problems employers had experienced.
Another open-ended question asked what employers would do if they were not able to hire H-2B workers. Participation was voluntary, and results could be submitted via email, fax or the internet. A total of 367 employers responded. The majority of H-2B employers who responded to the survey noted that temporary foreign workers are reliable and hard-working. Many also praised these workers� productivity: a benefit that offsets the cost of bringing them into the United States. Respondents appreciated that H-2B workers were willing to work seasonal jobs and then return home when the season ended.
Important benefit of the program is that it offers companies a way to hire foreign workers when U.S. labor markets tighten. The program increases labor market flexibility by allowing businesses to bring in foreign workers when U.S. workers move up to better, higher-paying jobs during economic expansions.

Hi I'm a Moroccan citizen I was placed in removal proceedings (NY Buffalo) and took voluntary departure. once my wife's divorce was finalized we got married while on voluntary departure. we filed motion to reopen the case and it was reopened and transferred to Los Angeles, CA then the judge closed my case based on marriage with an I130 receipt without prejudice. The I130 was filed on june 2009 and was transferred to Los Angeles on November 12, 2009. I made an appointment with Info Pass but they just said you have to wait untill we call you. My lawyer said I can't file for the I485 untill the I130 is approved. My question is: How long will it take before we will be called for an interview?
An estimation will be much appreciated thank you very much.
I cannot give you any estimation But my question is why can't you file I-485. Any one who pending marriage based I-130 should be able to file I-485. Double check this with another attorney.

The other day, three guys, a Pakistani, an Indian, and a Czech, and one Serb girl (originally from the beautiful city of Belgrade) met the staff of their American lawmakers, to tell them about the problems faced by the EB-immigrant community due to backlogs and insanely low visa numbers for EB-greencards.
You can't get more American than this.
My experience with the meetings with the lawmakers' staff has been very positive. I approached it with nervousness; however, the staff has ALWAYS been extremely polite, sincere and encouraging. They listen to us, and engage in meaningful discussions and question answer sessions with us. Quite often, we are told that this was the first time that our point of view was being told to them. We ask them what advice they have for us. And they all ALWAYS tell us to (a) talk to other lawmakers and (b) call them frequently, as they provide daily totals and tallys on pro-vs-anti calls on different issues to their bosses.
So folks. We still have time. We have a few weeks. Please (a) join together and form state chapters, (b) educate yourself, (c) call the lawmakers offices (d) meet the lawmakers and (e) do all this within the next few days.
Too often we take a fatalistic approach towards issues. Other times, nervousness and fear renders us incapacitated. Be proud of the fact that we are a diverse group of high-skilled immigrants. We are educated professionals. We are doctors, engineers, scientists, and other professionals.
It is our duty, as intelligent and educated professionals, to tell the lawmakers that we are facing problems, and to request them to fix those problems, since they have the power to do so.

Would going to Canada and re-entering without going for visa stamping count as lawful entry??
Yes (assuming you stayed in Canada for less than 2 weeks or whatever is that number).
Or one has to go and get the visa stamped to qualify as lawful entry??
Also when you go to Canada and come back Without VISA stamping, he gets the same I-94 or different I-94??
Thanks.
If you did not submit your old I-94 at the time of entering canada, then you keep the same I-94. In fact, if you do not have a valid visa stamp (i.e., you are entering using visa revalidation), then it is best not to submit your current I-94.

I am planning to get my H1 stamped during my next trip to India and have a couple of questions
1) Have anyone used Yourmaninindia or Sahara Care or any other service to deposit H1 forms at VFS Mumbai. For Mumbai consulate, the forms need to be submitted 3 days prior to Visa Interview and they do not accept courier :mad:
2) I recently found that if you have an appointment at one of the consulates in Mexico, you can Fax the 797 and get PMIS verified in advance.
Do we need to submit the entire H1 fee for appointment ? If there is a cheaper way, I am thinking of taking an appointment , get PMIS verified and cancel the appointment.
3) Any idea if they do a PMIS verification for H1 extensions (same company) as well ?
I am hoping this helps. My H1 renewal 7th year came through in December effective January 10 2010. I was at the Mumbai consulate interviewing for H1 visa on January 21st and received my passport in hand in 3 business days.
