Hi All,
Please help me on this. Here is the situation:
1. Company A First time H1B - Oct 1, 2004
2. Company B transfer - Jan 22, 2006
3. My current visa is expiring on Jan 22, 2009, but after Jan 22, 2009, I still have till Oct 1, 2010 to complete my 6 years of H1B.
4. Now, my wife who is on H-4 is currently in India on vacation, since she is not in US, her H-4 extension cannot be filed.
My question is, can I file my H-1 extension and go to India and get both of our visas stamped based on my extension? Or does my wife need to come back on her currently valid visa and file for her own H-4 extension?
Please advise and pardon me for my ignorance on this.
Thanks in advance,
DSP

I just noticed on USCIS website that all 4 of our family's I-485 (myself, wife, 2 children) have new LUD of 4/1/2009.
The message still says "case received and pending" on all cases.
I wonder what it means?
Thanks.
Congrats. It means someone touched your file. Please update the LUD date in the IV tracker

My wife is studying for Nursing and hence I know the anser. Either General Nursing or BSN will allow you to give the RN exam. However, before that have your crendtials evaluated by www.wes.org, so that an US equivalency is established. Based on that you can apply for the RN exam.
General Nursing is equivalent to an Associate in Nursing. For future promitions, BSN is better.

My case is similar too, my husband filed 485 for both of us on 29th June, we both have H1b. But on June 15th one H1b transfer was filed for me (dependent in 485) which was confirmed to us on June 22nd and I joined new company on June 26th.
But the whole transfer thing is not mentioned in 485 because we were not aware at time of filling forms (june 18th).
Is this going to create problem? do we need to send update/form to USCIS about this?

Hi
I am going to apply for i-485,
i have birth certificate which is taken in 2005 but I was born in 1974
some of my friends are saying...as you are born in 1974 and as your
birth certificate was taken in yr 2005, it might cause problems (ins poseses query)
to get the green card.
Is it right?
They are saying me to get Affidivits + non availability certificate now.
will it be a problem if I put my birth certificate....while applying for 485
thanks

My advise is to get a Non-availability of birth certificate because an RFE is the last thing you wanna see. My wife tried Allied Legal, India to get Non-availability of birth certificate for her parents. you can try them. They are the immigration attorneys in USA.

Hi
I was not so so keen until this matter was resolved..BUT my GC got approved.
I am separated from spouse. But when I filed 485, I was "married" because our relationship was still unstable.
Now QUITE FRANKLY I am NOT sure what's going to happen ahead.Dont ask me why. This whole uncertainty depressed me . If I re-unite and my wife is in India and I am on GC HOW do I call her here ?
If I divorce and re-marry how do I get my new wife here.
In any case , I dont plan on getting more than 1 person so pl dont look at it from a gamers view.
Thanks for ur help

It's not my intention to encourage marital discord. Having said that there are a couple options for you:
(a) If you re-unite and reconcile with your wife, you can file a follow-to-join petition, since you were married before you got your GC. She will get her GC fairly fast and be able to enter as an immigrant.
(b) If you get divorced and get re-married, you're out of luck. You would have to file a Family based I-140 petition (F2A, I think) and it takes about 5-6 years to get something like that approved. In the meantime if you want her to come to the USA, she will have to come on a dual-intent visa such as H1B. The consulate will not give her an ordinary visa. Of course, you can claim citizenship and "upgrade" your petition.
I am not a lawyer and this not legal advice. Please consult an attorney for your specific case.

To my knowledge, the PD field is always blank for EAD reciept notices.
I e-filed EAD renewal. On the I-797 Notice of Action that they mailed me, the "Priority Date" field is blank. The same is true for my last EAD notice of action as well which I did not check last time. Is it normally blank?
Is anybody else in the same boat?

Well, I finally got a hold of an actual human on the main USCIS number. They confirmed only that the office is open on Fridays for appointments. That means I am hitting the road to Milwaukee.
Thanks for the help. I determined that the website has different info for ASC and what is called the Field Office. Unfortunately, it's not clear and led to my confusion. Hope it all works out. Thanks again. JAFO.

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?

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.
It is better to register you marriage here in the US, appy for your spouse Adjustment of status and travel on AP to your home country to get married. The other choice is to wait till you become a citizen and then get married.

Hi Friends,
Thanks for answering all my question and I really appreciate all of you for sharing your experience.
I am new to all these and seeking for Family based GC category 2A applied in May 2005. According to the date in VB for the month of FEB we should get GC as of now but didn't happen.
I am confused about the "Note" that is written under the Family Based PREFERENCES chart in VB. Could some one make me understand in simple language what the below note says?
*NOTE: For February, 2A numbers EXEMPT from per-country limit are available to applicants from all countries with priority dates earlier than 01MAR04. 2A numbers SUBJECT to per-country limit are available to applicants chargeable to all countries EXCEPT MEXICO with priority dates beginning 01MAR04 and earlier than 01MAR06. (All 2A numbers provided for MEXICO are exempt from the per-country limit; there are no 2A numbers for MEXICO subject to per-country limit.)
Please reply.
Thanks a Lot
