I have a quick question. I am a late July AOS filer. I have not received the RN yet. My H1is expiring in mid Jan 2008. Should I wait for EAD and not file H1 extension ? Please suggest. I need to pay for H1 that I want to avoid but at the same time, do not want to take risk as well.
I strongly recommend keeping your H1 renewed. Its always a good idea to have your H1 until you get your GC - whether on EAD or not. Your EAD is backup to your H1. Unless ofcourse you are married and your spouse is already here and you want to work for a different employer after 180 days of your I-140 approval. You never know what could happen to GC until you get it. Talk to a lawyer too!!!

Check with your employer the status of your I-140. If I-140 is denied then it results in other pending applications like I-485 also being denied.

One of my friend was in same situation as you are in now.since he droped out from school from second semister he completed 6 courses (18 credit hr),after he worked in H1 for 2 years he againg joined the same school for an MBA program and he managed to transfer some credit hours from previous courses,he enrolled in most of the online courses offered by the school and finished his MS.
Here is what he experienced at the time of Stamping.
1) Why did you left the school from second semister?
He said he got the nice job offer which he can not turn down
2) Why did he go back to school after two years
He said that he needed the MBA at his current working company to move on to better position.
He got his visa after the W2 and pay stubs verified by the counsler (latest 5 stubs)
hope this info helps
Thanks for the reply...
But My problem is my school does not offer any courses online and my work place is almost 4 hours drive from my school.....
If i enroll back in school through open university and take courses that counts towards my graduation will that help in convincing the Visa officer that I have not abandoned my intent to earn my masters degree....
I cant wait till i complete the remaining courses... any one else to share any ideas or experience...

conspiracy theory
I have heard from a couple of folks that they have met some senior senetors like Bob Dole and have influnced INS to speed up their case of GC processing. Is this true ? .
If this is true is there a way to stop the influence by senetors so that these everyone gets a fair chance of getting their GC.
Thanks in advance

Gurus,
I have a question regarding duration of legal status, as determined by the I-94 card.
- My brother's current H-1B ends on Oct 31, 2008.
- His company applied for 3yr H-1B extension in July, till Oct 2011
- The petition was approved and it has the approval notice date of Sep 5, 2008.
- My brother had to travel outside the country due to business reasons (left on Sept 9, returned on Sep 12).
- At POE, he got a new I-94 based on his current H-1B, with validity up to Oct 31, 2008.
1) My understanding is that his H-1B status in the country ends on Oct 31, 2008, as determined by the new I-94. Is this correct?
2) If the above is correct, then what are his options? As far as I know, there are two:
a) Leave the country before Oct 31, 2008, apply for a visa, and return with the new visa and get a new I-94 at the POE.
b) Apply for an amendment or extension of stay? I am not sure how this works, but I have heard people talk about it.
I will really appreciate if someone could share their thoughts and experience in this matter.
Thanks.
PS: I apologize for opening a new thread

For once, I am actually glad about the EB backlogs. The more retrogressed my date is, the less chance that the USCIS will raise any RFE.
Having said that, I dont want to be waiting around for ever.
unless he gets an RFE out of the blue asking for an employment verification letter, with a 30 day turnaround time. Then he does need to worry about his immigration status too.
485 pending means having a same/similar job offer ready at all times.

if he is part of that company for three Years and in that if he is a manager for an year, he will be eligibile for L1A. Then can apply GC without labor and should be able to get GC in 1 year
If he is part of that company for an year, then he can get L1B and can apply for EAD for this wife within 6 months of I-94 dates.
But i'd suggest to try for L1A and get GC like an instant coffee at StarBucks.
Take a lawyer advise. The immigration lawyer in their company can do it. Or pay 350$ to sheela murthy and get a full advise.
Or there are lot of chaps in this firm who carry this knowledge like me.

H1B � Bringing spouse in USA
Hi Friends,
At the outset apologies if I am raising this q in the wrong thread. Could not find a better thread.
I have been in USA this Jan 2011 on H1b. My wife is in India.
I would like her to come here at USA for few weeks. However We are going through a little difficult financial situation.
I wanted to understand from tax implication perspective.
Is it correct that if she comes here for few weeks then I can file a tax return in future for FY 2011 claiming her as a dependent which would double tax deduction?
Pls let me know in this context:
# How much is the deduction available for spouse?
# Is it necessary that she comes to usa on h4 in tax year 2011 to claim the deduction
The reason I am asking is if I can save tax it will offset my cost of tickets for her to and fro.
Pls help me by providing your guidance on following so that I can plan given my little financial difficult situation.
Pls provide ur valuable inputs.
thank you
Even if she comes here in Jan-2012 you can take Do a joint tax return. She needs to be here while filing for the taxes at least first time to get ITIN number used for tax purpose.
She can file as resident here but you need to pay taxes for Worldwide income.
Amount depends upon you earning. You will Standard Deduction Double as against filing the Single ($10800) and additional Personal exemption of around $3500 Deduction.
Note: These are deductions not actual amounts

And so are the Americans who are anti-immigrants. I have heard Tancredo on Boston 680 AM with the other nut job Howie Carr saying that they don't want non-European immigrants in this country. I have no problems with republicans. Guliani, Romney, Huckbee, ron paul are all decent people with different views but they are not hate mongers like tancredo. Tancredo is not only a protectionist but a big racist bigot and he should be deported back to Europe where his illegal immigrant parents came from.I am sure America is not foolish to elect this bigot as a President but if it happens somehow, it would be a good idea for smart people here to pack our bags. Tancredo has well documented plans to ruin this country.

Hello:confused:
My previous company is refusing to give me a official experience letter..even though i worked there for three years..
I am ready to file for my 140 and my attorney initially said that two Notarized affidavits from employees at the firm who worked with me will be good enough..
now he is saying he is not sure if USCIS will accept those affidavits...
has anyone used such affidavits to prove their experience.?did it work
Will USCIS reject 140 because of this or will they issue an RFE...
can i send the h1 approval that i had with that company as a proof of working.
gurus..plz advice..
Get letters from your Ex-colleagues or Ex-Managers who worked with you during your employment in that company. Get letters on plain paper and not on the letter head of the company where they are working Now!
It works.
It worked for me. I had an RFE for experience certificates and I did the same. My lawyer suggested it to me.
Similarly my friend who worked with me in my previous company needed it from me and I gave it to him. It worked for him as well.
Hope it helps.
Make sure the experience mentioned them matches the job requirements.
Your Ex-colleagues don't need to be currently working there.
In my case I worked there for 4 years and my colleague worked for fewer years there than me and quit before me. In this case he mentioned his dates of employment only meaning he verified my experience and employment only for those years when the was working there. In other words I worked there for 4 years but my colleague worked with me only for 3 years and thus he verified only 3 years. For other 1 year I had to find another colleague.

You didn't tell that. Then something else has to be done. 1st option, you can have your petitionor employer write something promising that you'll be paid that much at the time your 485 being approved. But it will come back to you when you file 485, and you'll have to show you are paid that much at that time to get 485 approved. 2nd option, ask to waive the wage requirment, aguing yours is different from others in the same category. But this has rare chance of success. Any way, the most important thing is find a capable atterney.
OMG. This is hilarious.
First piece of bad advice:
Write a letter to USCIS "promising that you'll..."?? This is USCIS we are talking about, not Santa Claus or the fairy godmother. Writing letters promising that you'll be a good boy in the future does not work.
My girlfriend would not buy this, an immigration officer with USCIS will simply shred it and mail you a denial.
Second piece:
Oops, we dont meet some reuqirement of USCIS, ask them to waive it, saying "I am different, your regular rules dont apply to me". Why not add an addendum letter asking for Visa Bulletin also to not apply to you. Neither the requirement that 5 years of GC is needed for citizenship.
Stop giving bad advice. If you dont know, say you dont know. The only thing good in your post was the advice to get a good lawyer.
OP: also try to contact UnitedNations (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/private.php?do=newpm&u=8672) and see if he is willing to help with this. Since time is so short, see if you can find his email/phone_number (he has helped tons of people with ATP issues on immigrationportal.com and is essentially a PhD on this subject matter. I tried a google search, but am having a hard time getting his email... try it out, if you can find him, its worth the effort you spend looking for him)

What is your service center for 485?
Does USCIS issue multiple RFEs on I-485 simultaneously or consecutively? The reason I ask is because both myself and my wife recently got RFEs. Myself because the Doctor forgot to fill in the Tuberculosis details and for my wife about her birth certificate. We have responded to both and the responses are exactly what they requested in the RFE.
Should we now relax and just wait for the PD to be come current and get our GC or is there a possibility of getting more RFEs? When there are multiple issues in an application would USCIS raise all of them simultaneously or wait for the response for the first one before raising the second one? Any one have any experience in this regard?

It asks me for the A number. Should I put in the number on the I-94 or should I put in the number for each petition.
Enter the one in your EAD card or 485 petition - both will be the same. BTW, I-94 number is not A number.
