I have an H1B approval from USCIS, and I am trying to go to Canada for the initial visa stamping. But then i have a problem. I initially entered the country as a visitor, and married a citizen, but only after my I-94 had expired for about a week. (My petition is still pending. The company I am working for could not wait for my greencard, since its already been years since I started that process, so they went ahead and applied for the H1B visa for me). I heard that it is a problem to do the visa stamping in Canada if you have been out of status before. Is it advisable to go to Canada for the visa stamping?

Copies of the documents will do. Original is not required for H-4 stamping.

Tam Ngoc Tran died on May 16th in a car accident. She was a doctoral student in American Civilization at Brown University. I had a brief encounter with this intelligent and lovely young lady in 2006 when I visited UCLA to assist foreign-born students in finding solutions to their immigration problems. Each of the students told me his or her story. Most shared the following themes: They were born in other countries and brought to the U.S. as toddlers. They grew up believing that they were born in the U.S. and that if they studied hard and got good grades,...

My sister is in US in Visitor Visa with I-94 expiration date of Nov 25th 2009. We would like to convert her status from B2 to F1 Visa ASAP.
1) Do you know anyone who has changed the status from B2 and F1? If yes, can you share the experience?
2) Is it risky to do that? What kinds of problem we may encounter?
3) Can she stay in US while F1 is pending? what happens if rejection shows up after her current i-94 expiration date?
4) Is it better to go home country and apply for the F1 Visa or it is safer to change the the status in US.
Any advise you can throw will be appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

My I-485 application was filed under EB3 category when I was working for my previous employer (PD - October 2006). I changed my job in August 2008, but never sent any documentation for AC21. I now have close to 8 years of experience and also a masters degree (MBA) from a reputed univeristy here in the US.
Now that EB2 dates are so close to October 2006, is there anyway I can port my application from EB3 to EB2? I can initiate this discussion with my current employer and may be able to convince them to help me. But I want to know exactly what needs to be done.
Thanks a lot in advance for your assistance in this matter!

I count myself as one of the lucky ones as I already have a GC for the last two years and enjoy working in the US. However, my company has offered me a position in Europe for three years and I was wondering how this would affect my green card status. Can I put it on "hold"? If so, is it easy. Any feedback would be appreciated.
thanks,
Tom

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html

2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.

There is a mistake in my 485 cover letter. The letter states that I am EB3 but actually I am EB2.
Will this cause any problem? Will USCIS deny my case? Please note we included I-140 approval form in the file.
Many thanks.

No issues, since her H1B is independent of your I-485. As long as she was in her old job/the job mentioned on her G-325 on the day you filed your app. you should be okay.

Hi there,
I work for one of big 4 consulting companies. Home office based NJ and live in NJ as well. Travel to Client A mon - thurs.
I rolled off from the project at client A and will be starting at client B.
Both Client A & B are in the same city in MA.
1. Will a LCA update be required even if you new client is in the same city/ state ?
2. How long does it take these days to update the LCA ?
3. Like H1 transfer can you start working at the new client on the USCIS receipt # ?
Thank you.

From Immigration Law
On 04/11/2007, Senator Hagel introduced this special bill for a relief from the current H-1B visa crisis. The bill is now in the Senate Judiciary Committee. The full text of the bill has yet to be made available to the public. As soon as the bill, S. 1092 is available, we will post the detail. Please stay tuned to this web site.
Is this going to be just h1 ? or will EB GC related stuff be included ?
Is there any realistic chance that this will get thru ?

CPA is not something thats awarded as a graduate degree by an accredited university. So probably no.
But make sure you are not shutting your option by talking to an immigration lawyer and finding out for sure if you are qualified.

US Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke, the former Governor of Washington state, was recently speaking to the Washington International Trade Association in his home state had some frank words about the impact visa denials and delays are having on US commerce: As we seek to open up markets for American companies abroad, the United States must also acknowledge that she has room to improve when it comes to increasing the secure flow of goods, services and people across our own borders. In particular, the United States often makes it too difficult for foreign company executives to enter here to do...
