Thank you very much, hadron. We did not use this forum much but I and my wife realized that you gave excellent advices which are far better than most Immigration Attorneys will give. By the way, Congratulations for your GC. It seems it took just couple of months for your I-485 to approve...

Thanks Hadron for your detailed explanation. There are another questions to ask. My wife had recently applied for I-130, Can she take time off for few months right after her three yrs of J-1 waiver despite I-130 is not approved but I-485 is applied? Can she leave her current employer...

My wife is doing J1 waiver job and will be finishing 3 years by mid of next year. Can I sponsor her (am US Citizen) GC by filing it now so she would get it by the time she finishes her 3 years j1 waiver job? I believe that since she is not interested in to get GC through current employer...

I'm planning to go for J1 waiver and at the same time would apply for GC becuase I'm US Citizen's spouse. My questions are 1) Should I go for J1 waiver through a HPSA/MUA or through NIW. What is the difference between the two? Which path is good for my case? 2) Can I apply GC right...

I had started a fellowship last year but need to visit home country late last year. While I was in my home country I had applied for endorsement of J-1 visa but unfortunately somehow I didn't get clearance from DHS. Finally I got clearance in early March but in the meanwhile, my fellowship was...

I had an interview with a J1 Waiver Hospital recently. Program Admin told me that in the event they hire me they will proceed to J1 Waiver process however, if couple of guys (who were interviewed earlier and also hold greencard) change their mind and accept this position then Hospital will stop...

Hello, If you remember I asked a question couple of months ago about my fiance' who is on J1 and was refused to get endorse her visa while she was overseas. Now US Embassy asked her to come over for J1 endorsement since they got her name cleared. Now question is, she already lost her...

Is it necessary that 2 years home residency should be done continuously? or someone could do it in breaks in five years. thanks.

DHS Sent forms for Appeal Today I received a package of fomrs for my Fiance' from DHS but without cover letter. My finace' was denied for J1 endorsement visa overseas. She sent an AR-11 form for change of address as well as sent separately a letter to DHS asking to remove any restrictions for...

Hello gurus, I would appreciate to know what is the maximum penalty for not submitting an AR-11 form to DHS. I was told that it could be USD 250 or 2 months imprisonment or 5 years bar to enter into USA. Is this correct? If yes, then is there way to appeal to reduce 5 years bar to let's...

I and my fiance' weighing couple of options after she was denied for J1 visa endorsement. My suggestion is that she should finish 2 yr HRR and in next few months I will marry her by visiting back home. Since I'm a GC holder I will visit her after every 3-4 months for a few days. By the end of...

Today I also gave a call to National Records Center to file FOIA. But the guy told me that they have a backlog of more than 70,000 and therefore, I should not expect a result soon. It may take upto a year. Any suggestions!!!!

Thanks hedron. But I'm thinking since USCIS is not involved in the visa process but the US Embassy in overseas. In this case USCIS may don't have any document related to this visa refusal. Can we request US Embassy overseas for FOIA ?

Hi gurus, I need yor urgent help about J1 visa rejection. My fiance was interviewed for J1 visa yesterday but got rejection. Earlier this year she had completed her 3 years medical residency and just three months ago had started fellowship. But once she left to her hometown and tried to have...
