    Will postponing FP delay the application?

    Hi all, We just received our FP notifications, with the PFs scheduled on 04/16/2005 at San Antonio, Texas. However, we might have to change our son’s schedule as he’s out of the town for his college until May. My question is, while we (my husband and I) will still do our PFs as scheduled...

    F1 with 485 pending

    JoeF, Thank you for your reply. Just curious, as I don’t understand why he is no longer on F1 even if he didn’t use his EAD. If we look at a H1 holder with a pending I-485, we know that the H1 holder can still keep his H1 if he didn't use his EAD. Is the treatment different to a F1...

    starting a new business

    Robin, You can. There is no issue with immigration law if the sales people you hire are eligible to work in the United States. If they are not, you need to apply work visas for them. As I understand, you can’t get a GC through a company that you own 5% or more. However you can get yourself a...

    Can my wife's company sponsor her H1?

    JoeF, If you apply a H visa without Change of Status (consult a lawyer on how), there will be no I-94 attached with the approval notice. Please note that there will be overlapping period of time in this case. But your status is clear as it is specified on your current I-94, that is, you are...

    Can my wife's company sponsor her H1?

    It works, JoeF. Especially in this year, as there’s a H1 quota issue, many L1 holders have to grab one well before their current Ls expire. As far as I understand, you have a H1 approved doesn’t grant you the status of the H automatically. Technically speaking, you need to apply and obtain...

    Can my wife's company sponsor her H1?

    He-man, In order to keep your current L1 visa status, what you could do is to file a H1 visa application without Change of Status. In that way, you can keep L1 until the point of the time you active your H1. As such, your wife can keep hers as L2 too. Regards, Tracey

    Is there a ‘businesses’ someone without permission can do?

    Hello again, Joe, Thank you for your explanation. It makes sense to me. The day-trader is a good example for explaining buying and selling stock. What would you think about buying and selling real estate? For example, someone is buying a house, no matter if it is his first one, but his...

    Is there a ‘businesses’ someone without permission can do?

    Hello Joe, I happened to be in a presentation given by a company with business line of ‘direct sale’. Despite other issues, one question I had for the presenter was concerning the employment eligibility: who can work for the company. The presenter answered me indirectly, and said that no one...
