Thanks everybody for your inputs. My family is out of USA for about 1 year 11 month. Without me, they can't process for SB-1 either (they have to fly to another city etc etc having two school going kids). My wife was diagonsed with depression in USA and she has been treated for few years here...

Yah, I make much more than 100K, I have a very good market value in USA even during recession and thats why my employer will try every possible way. Only thing I wanted to know the procedure to switch back to non-immigrant from immigration status, there must be a way. I am going to consult with...

Thanks everybody for your response. No, they did not apply for SB-1, however we consulted with nearest Consulate, they told me that the case is very weak. However, we lost the energy to take a chance for its process either. I guess, I am getting mentally frustrated with the whole process.

Thanks for your quick reply. I need to wait for almost 3 years 7 months to be eligible for naturalization. So, its a long wait. I am sure my employer will agree to file for O1 and GC back to back if that helps my family to return. Only thing I am not sure whether that will solve my problem. I...

I do not want to evade tax, I am very much regular in tax filing. The thing is I have a valid GC (EB-1: OR), however family lost their status being more than 1 year outside US (case not strong enough for SB-1). I was hoping for F2A and already filed for I-130, however recent F2A visa date...

Can somebody help me by answering this question: Is it possible to switch back to O1 (non-immigrant, if employer is willing to sponsor) from LPR (got through EB1-OR category) being inside USA. If yes, what could be the process ? Will it be possible to adjust back the status to non-immigrant in USA ?

All four family members are all living together since we departed US about 1 year and 8 months back. Myself have a valid re-entry permit (I was supposed to travel back and forth, thats why applied for) will exprire Nov, 2010. However, my wife and GC child do not have RP, I did not apply because...

Thanks Jackolantern once again for your input. I understand your point. Yes, her treatment started before 1 year ended after she departed USA and still on going, so applying for SB-1 will be a good option. She needs to prove her US ties for the application: will the chance of success be...

Thanks Jackolantern a lot for your help on this, my wife has been staying almost 1 year 8 months (she has been going medical treatment here, not so critical treatment that I can convince consulate to get her SB-1) and I do not need to take a chance on SB-1 because, if it is denied then her...

Here is my situation. I have valid GC (employment based), my wife got her GC as derivative of mine. Now, because she overstayed beyond 1 year, I feel that getting SB-1 (immigrant visa) would be difficult for her. Can I sponsor her through Family based category (F2A) based GC and be in the...

Thanks a lot Jackolantern. Yes, she got ger GC as a derivative of mine. It looks like that it will be difficult for her to get SB-1 and so her GC will become invalid. If she stays back in the home country till I become Citizen, will it be possible for her to get GC/Citizenship as a derivative...

My wife had a GC before she travelled back to the home country. She overstayed beyond 1 year. She did not apply for RP thinking that she will return on time. I have a LPR status and we were married long before we got our GC. 1. She may not be allowed to admit to US without SB-1 visa. 2. If...

My application received on 10/31/2008 and FP on 11/20/2008. In the application form I advised them to send it to US Consulate because I did not know whether they will be able to process it before I leave. The status says " document sent to applicant", does it mean that they send it to my US...

My reentry permit is approved today and the case status says :'document mailed to the applicant' even though I advised them to send it to US Consulate. Does it mean they sent it to my address in the USA because I am still here ? Anybody experienced similar situation ?

Independent letters are very important, my lawyer even told me that the letter from people who know you will have very little meaning. Try to get couple of them from outside US. I approached people (some are big) whom I got to know in the conferences however were not associated with me in my...
