Getting the F1 visa in general after a school accepts your application is relatively straightforward and they will help you with documents part. However you are right to be able travel in and out of the US, once you have received your approved F1 status from the USCIS, next time you leave the...

Changing employers on the H1B visa with portability provision can be achieved but you want to ensure that you have the appropriate documents when you do it. If your current employer is not paying you that does violate a lot of things but of course if you do go out of status then you have to...

In terms of bachelors degree proof and specialty occupation there are nmerous things to consider and many of it is very arbitrary. The specialty occupion in broad terms must be a professional postion that would require a bachelors degree as a minimum criteria for hire. So hopefully this extra E3...

There is nothing much you can do as the expiry date on your actual F1 visa is the only relevant point for re-entry to the US. That needs to be valid and if it is not you will need a new visa to enter the country. While legal status can be maintained within the US beyond the expiration of your...

You can't start working on your H1B status until October 1. There is a gap solution for certain specific type of foreigners if you read here with OPT and the F1 visa. http://e3visa.info/2010/02/11/f1-visa-opt-occupational-practical-training-information/ Premium processing just means you get an...

Hi, This is a good guide regarding the J1 visa 2 year residency rule waiver: http://e3visa.info/2009/12/23/j1-visa-2-year-residency-rule-waiver/. It is not the quickest process and I guess can be done from anywhere, it is just it is not a guaranteed process given it requires so many government...

Yes agreed ultimately if you need or want your passport back you can have it and hopefully send it back to them when the "delay" for administrative processing is completed to get your visa stamp. It is a shame you and others are forced into this process but this is hidden part of US Immigration...

Hi Jordan. It is tough in your area to qualify for any of the visas as the US immigration system is not geared very well to your sort of industry. The best fitting visa for any significant amount of time would be the H2B visa and possibly utilizing those skills at a industrial location or theme...

Hi, The safest bet would have you both applying for a green card separately via your employer if possible. I would assume your wife has to be on an E3 visa for it to be possible as I would doubt anyone has tried to do it from the partner visa. Then if one of you advances at a faster rate, the...

I have a similar issue with the names on passport and visa and have never had an issue at the border through multipe re-entries. If you are who you say you are then there shouldn't be an issue.

The best time is as soon as possible as the longer you wait chances are the longer you will wait for green card.

You can use your old passport for your visa and your new passport as your passport. This is perfectly fine with the USCIS

I agree with everyone here as while on non-immigrant visas (unless you couldn't care less about a future in the US and being denied future visas or being removed) then don't apply for Unemployment benefits.

In all honesty I doubt it and even if you could there are so many grey areas here, it would be a long long case. Seemingly b/c it seems like this company has IRS issues you may not even have anyone to go up against

The best ways of finding a sponsor are through networks and people he knows but otherwise it is really often about taking a chance and coming here for interviews.
