Congratulations on our first BIG SUCCESS! Your efforts, time, and resources spent have paid back!
While rejoicing our victory, I remind myself that this is the first. There are still challenges for each individual and our community on the journey of legal EB immigration:
(1) How will the CIS, DOS, DHS, and FBI handle the job in the future?
(2) What will the increased fee be used for? How can we and other goverment agencies monitor the accountability?
Let's think about what's next... Will this success be the end or the beginning of our grassroot activism? Does the present move by CIS mean efficient services in the future?
Take care, enjoy the moment and plan for the future.

My current H1 expires on the 30th of September 2007. I have applied for H1 extension under premium processing and it is pending.
My Query is:
Can I work after my H1 expires on the 30th and my H1 extension is still pending? i.e. continue working based on a pending H1 application? If so, for how long?
Thanks,
-Ski
Yes, you can continue to work on pending H1 application. On pending H1 extention there is no limit for how long you can keep working. if you get an approval then you can just continue working till your next H1 expires and
thus you dont have to take a break.

Hello,
According to my knowledge the majority of name checks submitted are electronically checked and returned to the submitting agency as having "No Record" within 48-72 hours. The processing time for FBI name checks usually take from 30-120 days but timing does vary from case to case. The FBI�s intention is to have all visa requests processed within 120 days. Most name check requests that are over 60 days old are the result of the time required to retrieve and review field office record information. Any case which is not processed within this time frame is usually delayed because of a potential "hit" which will be further reviewed manually.

Visa is required when you have to travel outside US and reenter again.You can get as many extensions as possible by the law.visa stamp is not a problem for your next extension.
Thanks! This is good news. We have been working 24/7 and forgot all about this. I got mine but my wife did not travel at all and never needed the visa. I was worried that it might cause problems.

Depends on whether the role for which he is applying requires a PhD or not. Once again, consult a good lawyer.
Small addition to your post. EB1A does not require a job offer, but it needs the applicant to prove exceptional ability. EB1B (outstanding researcher or professor) and EB1C (multinational manager) do need sponsorship and a job offer.

I work in a private firm (<300 employees) and they have filed for PERM and is under audit. What would happen to my PERM if a bigger firm takes over my smaller company.
My H1-B 6 yr limit will expire by January 2010. What are the risks to my immigration status if my company is acquired by a bigger firm?
1. Will I have to re-file for PERM again with the new company?
OR
2. Can I continue under the already audited PERM in smaller company's name?
As long as the successor company wants you to continue with them , you have no problem. You can ask your attorney to send details about acquisition if there is any RFE and you are safe.
But you should really try to find out, if the future company would like to support your PERM, because that is more important - company support.
All the best.

For tax purposes you are resident of state where you reside. For best opinion you can check with the international students center at your school. It is not illegal to attend classes online if your school allows you the option. .
It is illegal to have all online classes on F1. On F1, you can take upto 3 credit online per semester, rest need to be in class.
If you are on H1/H4 etc., you can take all online class.

Q : Will this affect my ability to travel?
Possibly, if you leave the country prior to the completion of the receipting process and do not have the appropriate travel documents, you may have difficulty returning to the United States.
Ok so no travel unless you have AP...right?

LAMP - Calgary. Also, some financial analysts are predicting that the $CDN will actually be worth *more* than the $US by the end of 2007.
By then, US GC will become easy and everyone will run towards Canada

lMy wife got RFE after this LUD, Mine and my kid's no change. Waiting for RFE details. I think since the processing time for Texas is Aug 2007 they are pre adjusting the apps, i guess.
I too had SL on my 485 on 4/10/09 but none of my family members and nothing after that. Does this mean they have assigned my file to an IO?

My current status is H1B with I-140 approved. I am planning for a fulltime MBA for which I have to transfer my visa to student visa. I heard from some sources that I cannot transfer to student visa when my 140 is approved. Does anyone here knows how far this is true?
Sandy
I hope you do understand that once you change status to F-1, you essentially are losing your priority date and your GC application. Also, you will not be able to get a F-1 visa stamp on your passport as you cannot prove that you don't have an intention to immigrate (because you already had applied for and got an I-140 approved).
Thanks,
Prasad

Hi,
Should I go to Canada or Mexico and re-enter US with EAD/AP before my AP expires to start working on EAD and avoid any "out of status" issues ?
Does Canada Mexico ask for valid VISA and I-94 to get a visitor visa?
Should I go to India(my home country) and re-enter US before my AP expires to keep my status ?
It doesn't seem to me that you need to leave the US at all. You are authorized to stay here because you have a 485 pending. You can work using your EAD. The company should have reverified your I-9 form when the H-1B expired, assuming that you showed the H-1B paperwork to complete the I-9. However, since you have an EAD, you were not working without authorization.
However, you have a lawyer who has reviewed all your paperwork and presumably s/he knows something that I don't.
Whatever you do, you should NOT try to enter the US as a visitor when you really want to work here and be a permanent resident. That would be fraud.

Guys,
I was coming to work and just heard a small advertizment about "All Things Considered" on NPR. The advt said like this -"There is so much debate is going on about illegal immigrants but there is little debate about Legal Immigration, that story later on today on 'All Things Considered'. "
Anyone has any idea? Not sure if they will be taking phone calls or its pre-recorded story but it will be good to have IV feature or at least IV agenda featured on NPR.

but the advantage on that is after graduation you can get an EAD/ OPT for 1 year ... can do on-campus jobs ... and some off-campus jobs
If you are any other type of visa AND been a resident of CA for atleast 12-13 months ... you may qualify for instate tuition (this i know from personal exp in CSU system)

I could not understand what you mean by "NON-RIR labors were being processed first compared to the RIR ones. "
From AILA and immigration-law.com:
"AILA has reported that the BECs are still processing April 2001 traditional cases for the traditional case track and it is not expected to move ahead for sometime due to the huge number of 245(i) cases which were filed in April 2001."
I think we will not see a lot for Traditional Cases for a looong time.
My NON-RIR - PD - 04/2002 is also stuck in BEC.
Last i read was that the NON-RIR labors were being processed first compared to the RIR ones. So think twice before u take any decision.
