Thanks for your reply. Answers to your questions are 1) My husband did put in my name on 485 at the time he got his green card. However, I couldn't adjust my status 'cause I was on J1 visa and I also had to complete J1 waiver. 2) I really don't know the difference between I824 and I130...

NCV losing my I824 I was wondering if anybody heard anything like my case. I married my husband before he got his green card and I'm just finishing up my J1 waiver. My attorney has filed I 824 last year which has been approved and notified to US consul in my country. However, the consul...

Somebody told me (not a lawyer) that if you are going to be working with FQHC, your salary doesn't have to meet the prevailing wage. Is that true? My lawyer doesn't seem to know anything about it. Anybody heard of it? I don't know if I should change my lawyer.

I'm in the middle of transfering my H1B and I'm supposed to get base salary + incentives based on the number of patients that I see. However, my base salary doesn't meet the prevailing wage and my lawyer cannot file until we find a salary survey that will make my salary meet the prevailing...

Drj1victim, when did you turn in your resignation? I'm in process of J1 transfer and I received an offer letter today. They are going to mail me the contract in a few days. I'm going to start at the new job on 11/6/06. Should I turn in my resignation now or wait until H1B has been...

Can you get J1 waiver as an independent contractor or do you need to be an employee? Like working for emergency medicine staffing companies (locum tenant companies) Anybody have any experience with that?

I really appreciate all your replies. Thank you.

Hadron, can you get a waiver by working ER shifts in Underserved area when you're FP? I thought they wanted you to be in outpatient clinic to do your J1 waiver. Appreciate your reply.

I have non compete clause and I can't work in the same county for 2 years. I know it's not allowed to have non compete clause in J1 waiver contract but he wouldn't sign the contract without it, so I had an addendum contract stating non comepete clause. So I can't find any new job in the...

Today my employer fired me with no notice. He said that he will not give me the 90 day notice 'cause I harmed his practice and told me not to come back to work as of tomorrow. How long do I have before I can find a new job? I don't think I can find a new job within a month as everybody...
