I thought that the ideal time would be before applying for I485, and thus the dependant spouse would automatically get a gc with which ever spouse got the gc first. So I would think that both applying and getting married before either I485 is submitted, and who ever gets gc first their dependant spouse gets it too.
If the I485 is already filed I don't know if it can be amended.
I'm no attorney so you need to throughly research this.
This is true if you are applyinf through employer based. But our guy is applying through family based and he marrying before getting his GC could push him to the next category and a wait of several years.

Hello,
Wondering if anyone has a ecommerce online retail business , would be wonderful to exchange ideas and help each other.
Please PM Me.
Note - I DO NOT IN ANYWAY INTEND TO GET CONNECTED WITH AMWAY FOLKS,Amyway guys please excuse.
If you are looking for a ready-made solution - Volusions and a few other options are out there.
If you are computer savvy you can also use Drupal and other pre-built solutions and customize using smart cart and payment processing packages.
Writing everything from scratch may be a waste of time if online retail is your goal.

Hi Friends,
I am a green card holder, becoming eligible for citizenship in April 2009. My fianc�e has been in the US for the past 2 plus years on F1. She completes her MS in December this year .We plan to visit our home country in August this year and get married. I thought this was a relatively uncomplicated case till I read in some forum recently that marriage to a permanent resident can be a barrier to being admitted to the U.S. in F-1 status. This is because such a marriage obliterates the "non-immigrant" intent required for F-1 entrants. This could very easily jeopardize her plan to re-enter in F-1 status.
Any thoughts or advice on this? Appreciate all the help.
Thanks a lot.

I am planning to use AC21 and notify USCIS about it. I have the labor job title, code and salary. The salary applied was in hourly rate of $46. So at the new permanent job, I have it as annual salary.
So how much would $46 be in annual salary or should I just have an hourly rate on my experience letter from my new employer.

Hi,
My wife is currently on H1 (valid until Oct 2008). We just had a baby and I am thinking of transfering her to h4 (COS) for about 7-8 months. Once she feels comfortable she would like to start working again. In this case we would need h4 to h1b COS again.
Ques 1: Will h4-to-h1 transfer (while the h1 visa is still valid) be counted against a fresh quota or will this be just a COS application.
Ques 2: This is her first H1B which was valid for 3 years ( started in Oct 2005 - Oct 2008). Her company is about to file for renewal (for another 3 years - then her H1B maybe valid until Oct 2011). If she does COS to H4 now (June 2008) and if she plans to COS to H1 next year (Lets say March 2009), then will her new H1 application still be considered against the H1B cap ? The reason I ask is cos her H1B is currently valid until Oct 2008 and her company hasnt applied for renewal yet.
Ques 3: How much time does it takes to get the COS for h1-h4 and h4-h1 ?
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance...

I am kind of in the same situation...But, I don't know if the status means what it says.
But, I got the status change in Jul 2008 saying that
'the post office returned the notice we last sent you on this case I-485 application to register permanent residence or to adjust status as undeliverable. This may have serious effects on processing this case....'
The very next day I got this case status change saying that..
'We mailed document to the address we have on file, You should receive the new document within 30 days.....'
I took an InfoPass appointment and explained to them the case status emails. I also told them that I didn't get my biometrics notice. They asked me if priority date is current..I said NO and they verified too. So, they took the "document mailed" as the biometrics notice document and took my biometrics. I never bothered about that since then....
But, with new system change it shows as 'Document Processing & Oath ceremony'. So I am not sure what the original case status changes emails were about...and take the status 'Document processing and Oath ceremony' seriously.
Thanks in advance.

Hello gurus,
I woked with Company A and got my I140 approved(PD sep 04 EB2). I had issue with Company A that they asked me wait to apply my I485 in july 2007 wave. I frustrated and moved to Company B and substitued another labor(PD May-2002 EB3), got theI140 approval and 485 is pending from july 2007. In the Meantime, Company A withdrawn my approved EB2 I140 petition couple of months ago to protect one of their employee I140 petition.
Currently i believe the situvation is not good for EB3 and planned to enable my "Company A" I140 petition to apply for I485. Will USCIS allow company A to enable the withrdrawn I140 petition to apply my I485? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Natan
No, unless the withdrawl was in error from your company.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has issued new guidance (http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/health_care_occupations_20may09.pdf)on the standards for adjudicating H-1B petitions filed on behalf of beneficiaries seeking employment in a health-care specialty occupation.
The memo suggests that adjudicators should first consult the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics� Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) to determine whether the position qualifies as a H-1B "specialty occupation" as defined in the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The memo addresses licensing requirements for health-care workers in detail, and the effect of having a license - or not having a license - on approval of a case. If the foreign national has the required license, the adjudicator should not "look beyond the license." If the foreign national has a restricted license (e.g., license approved except for mandatory supervised practice), and the petition is otherwise approvable, an adjudicator should approve the petition for one year, or the duration of the restricted license, whichever is longer.
If the employee does not have the license because s/he needs certain immigration documents before getting a license, CIS can approved the petition for one year. The memo says that "The approval of any such H-1B petition shall not constitute approval by USCIS for the alien beneficiary to engage in any activity requiring possession of such State or local license. It is merely a means to facilitate the state or local licensing authority�s issuance of such a license to the alien, provided all other requirements are satisfied."

Thank you Solaris.
But what I need is the Employer Offer letter to me. They gave me a letter with some 3 lines saying my job title, Salary and start date. It does not include the Job responsibilities. It does not even say the word "Full Time". When I asked them they said that is their standard format.
Do you have format that I can use. I want to send them and insist that I get the letter in that format.

I think we need reform. Current H1B system is employer dependant and make us slave. There should be more breathing space.
Something like HSMP should come. In particular, the Fresh gradutes should be allowed to start their career in a honest way, not with the manipulted resumes designed/manufactured by almighty desi consultants.

Apologies if this is covered in a thread elsewhere (doubt it)
A colleague and I both filed EB2 PERM labors at around the same time in 2005.
Our 140s got approved roughly together too/
We both also applied for 485 on July 2nd, through the same lawyer, and both applications went to TSC.
Both of us saw our checks get encashed on the same date.
Here's where our applications diverged.
He received an LUD last friday and his EAD card has been ordered.
I received an FP request today(monday) but no LUD updates.
Although our applications are a bit dis-similar (he is married, i filed single), I have this theory that USCIS is splitting their queue, so as to not bombard its internal departments with the flood of work that has recently come in.
It makes total sense to split people into two groups (atleast), and for each:
a) send them EAD cards with a note of FP pending.
b) send them FP notices and do their EAD later.
(I know another friend who is in group a, while I'm in b)
Yes, we all like to bitch and moan about USCIS, but thats generally emo-talk.
So, has anyone else noticed this, or can anyone help me understand what I'm missing here.
This is just me speculating, but I'd like to throw this thought out there and have it rebound with your inputs.

You dont need transit visa if you are traveling thru frnankfurt (my 2 cents...just travelled in Lufthansa with expired visa but valid 797...no problems...however i heard it wld be a problem if it were United...so check with the airlines).....keep in mind that one might get stuck anywhere between 4 to 8 weeks if stuck in 221g administrative processing while getting stamping in India (in my case got passport and 797 in 23 days)....something to be aware of....my friend got stamping in india with only 6 months of 797 validity remaining....hope this helps
