So let's have premium processing in all stages?
Wonderful, why not this suggestion:
Sell GCs for 30k each, or put up on auction.
30k is achievable goal for everyone if we save money for 6 years straight. Maybe live on bread and water or something but hey, after buying the GC, can get back to living normally!
I think the premium processing idea is just money milking strategies by the respective departments who process the different stages.

it's catch-22 situation. its easy to get 797, but not VISA, entry to US and most importantly a job in this economy. same as housing, cheap prices, but no job security. not to state the obvious but, there is a reason why cap didn't reach in a day.
a good idea though is, apply for H1, get 797 approved. Normally its for 3 years from Oct'09. But don't go for stamping for another year(not sure if u can wait on stamping) or the period legally allowed and don't try to come to US for another six months or the period legally allowed . So u can come to US in 2011, if its allowed legally. does any one know the law?

Hi All,
I have my EB2 485 pending (since July, 2007). I have EAD based on that filing. I am also on H1B - so I am not using EAD. But my wife intends to use EAD (based on our current EB2 based 485 filing) from coming August.
In the meanwhile I have got my EB1 140 approved. My question is if we file for 485 based on EB1 petition, do we lose our current EAD till a new EAD is issued under new filing? Are there ways to ensure that my wife continues with her employment and I move ahead with 485 filing?
Thanks for help.
Explore interfiling... no personal experience ... but the idea is that they use the same I-485 but interchange the underlying I-140. Seems like there is no special form for this but to just write to USCIS with evidence for the new approved EB1 I-140.

When i heard that little girls question (recorded version in NPR news this morning) and michelle's response of "well, i guess your mom should have 'proper' documents" sounds very interesting. Does she imply that she is not happy to face that question or does she say in a subtle manner that illegals should not be here ?
One more thing to note is that in Maryland, schools "do not" check legal status of children's parents during school admissions.but isn't that atleast an utility bill or rental contract is required as proof of residence? then in that case, how the systems are working here ?
On the other hand, one of my close friend ( 11th year in this country with H1B extension in pending) can not get a driver license despite the fact he is a tax payer, his status is absolutely legal, bought a home few years back, working for a real company, but just can not get his driver's license in Missouri.
What a shame?
In an extraordinary exchange at an event that is usually just a photo op, First Lady Michelle Obama fielded a question from a second grader that really reminds us of the fact that the millions of people in the US working without status today are real people with real families. While the antis choose to dehumanize these folks by portraying them as criminals and parasites, this little girl reminds us that we're talking about people who are faced with terrible choices in life - living in utter poverty in an unstable homeland or living in the shadows in a wealthy...

Hi,
I will be done with my second master's this July 29. I have two months grace period to leave the country as I already used my OPT after my first master's. I have a job offer and they are willing to do my H1B which starts from October 2011. But my two months grace period will end this september 29. If my H1B is filed in September under Premium processing, will I be in status or out of status for those two days. Did any one face similar problem before. If so, can you please give me the solution?
Thanks,
KEDoubt
You can extend your F1 status under "cap-gap" relief
USCIS - Extension of Post-Completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) and F-1 Status for Eligible Students under the H-1B Cap-Gap Regulations</br> Questions and Answers (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=1d175ffaae4b7210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=6abe6d26d17df110VgnVCM1000004718190a RCRD)
Here is an extract but please read the entire document carefully from the above link
Q4. How does a student covered under the cap-gap extension obtain proof of continuing status?
A4. The student should go to their Designated School Official (DSO) with evidence of a timely filed H-1B petition (indicating a request for change of status rather than for consular processing), such as a copy of the petition and a FedEx, UPS, or USPS Express/certified mail receipt. The student�s DSO will issue a preliminary cap-gap I-20 showing an extension until June 1.
If the H-1B petition is selected for adjudication, the student should return to his or her DSO with a copy of the petitioning employer�s Form I-797, Notice of Action, with a valid receipt number, indicating that the petition was filed and accepted. The student�s DSO will issue a new cap-gap I-20 indicating the continued extension of F-1 status.

Hi Folks:
Is there a time limit for one to travel on Advance Parole. I was told that if a person travels abroad and intends to enter using AP, the maximum time allowed is 6 weeks, is this true?
Thanks
My son "traveled" on AP for almost 6 months.

I entered exactly the following on a separate sheet for that item:
"Pending adjustment of status petition. Lengthy adjustment and the need to visit family from time to time."
I self filed for I-131 (both for my spouse and myself) and had no problem with the approval.
I see. And did you attached any documents with that statement?

Can she open a business on H4 and won't need B1/B2 (I read somewhere that Canadian citizens generally come on B1/B2 to establish a business and then apply for E2)? Let's take an example, we invest 50K into a business and which employs 5-6 US citizens and also buys raw material/products from US suppliers with profit generated is 3K per month, will that be OK? Also, since she is on H4 and I am on H1 and none of us can work for the business how do we set it up?

This shouldn't cause any problem... My GC was approved in August while i was in India. On my return two weeks after the approval, the officer allowed me in on AP. I showed him the printouts of my approval email and he said you can use your green card next time you go out of the country.
Hope you get your approval soon

you are ok. You only needed to get married anytime before your I-485 is approved.
BTW that is a funny title for the thread "single and then married". Most of us are indeed single before we get married :)

Immigration Law from Houston Immigration Lawyer - Annie Banerjee Has Just Posted the Following:
There are only 65,000 visas given for regular H-1Bs and 20,000 for holders of US Master's Degree. As of July 09, only 24,800 regular petitions were filed and 10,600 US Master's petition were filed. The reason for this slow filing is two fold.
Heading into a deeper recession, the economy is definitely a factor. Unlike what most people think, Companies would rather hire US workers, and not pay the $2320/- filing fees plus attorney's fees.
However there are some professions which have a shortage in the US. That is true of computer professionals. But the computer professional market has been bruised by a poorly conceived and legally impermissible memo that CIS promulgated on January 08, 2010. The CIS is their infinite wisdom deemed that professionals need to be "controlled" directly by the petitioning company.
The IT business typically have contracts that go through tiers--- from the petitioning company to the end user. The CIS thinks that this creates "job shop" a four letter word to them.
The Jan 08 memo is startling in how unconstitutional it is---- how it totally disregards the rule of law. The class action lawsuit against it will hopefully see the end of the memo. Meanwhile software companies are outsourcing their business elsewhere.
However if there is a contract using an intermediary, control can be shown if another employee of the same H-1B employer works for the end user and actually supervises the H-1B beneficiary.
For instance if Company A, the H-1B employer has a contract with Company F and Company F has a contract with the end user, Company Bigshot. If Company A has employee X who works for Big Shot too, who supervises employee Y, who is the beneficiary, then control can be established under the January 08 memo. Of course all companies have to provide a ton of document to prove the case.

Like I said earlier, you have 240 days before you go out of status. If you are receiving an RFE, it means your case is under review. Upon receiving your response to the RFE, the officer should be able to adjudicate case fairly soon. However, if you are nervous, I recommend file for an expedited review when sending your response. That said, I would hate to pay the extra $$$$ if I don't have to.
