She was not allowed to explain much. She only got to say that the lawyer advised her that the questions pertains to a I140 application on her name, and not I495. And this is the reason why she answered No on the form.

Hi. The story: The girl came in the US 5 years ago in the US with family on H4 visa (dad was H1). She finished high school in the US, started university in the US. Shortly before turning 21, the dad applied for her for I485 (dad got I-140 approved). But before the application was sent to...

I meant I485, sorry. Yes, the lawyers have the intention to notify USCIS that she was not in the US at the time of application. They say that this invalidates her application and they suggest her to try to get F-1 from her university. The father asked the layers not to notify USCIS, but...

Here is the story: The father's company applied for green card. The family is: wife, 18-years old son and 21-years old daughter (in March 2008 turned 21), all in US previously on H1/H4. The family is not from a retrogressed country (E-2 application). The lawyers initially said that they...

Does anyone know if there is possible to deduct the attorny fees as employment-related expenses for employment-based permanent residency? Thank you.

Is the $1500 fee applicable for the one-time 3-year extension of H1-B (after the regular 6 years, with I-140 approved but inability to file for I-485)? I remember reading somewhere that the fees do not apply for the 1-year increment extension (but I cannot find the source anymore) Thank you

Hi, I just want to give you my time line. I am from a non-retrogressed country and, fortunately, I had a very fast processing. first PERM applied: May 26, 2006 PERM rejected: June 05 (rejected because the position was asking for MS and I had Ph.D; The system replied: not enough...

My lawyer sent 5 recent paystubs, no experience letter. My I-140 was approved last week. We sent the application on Nov. 6, 2006. I have no idea why was so fast.

I have a question. My Perm labor was approved, I am from a non-retrogressed country; therefore, I am getting ready to apply for I-140/I-485 concurrently. I am also pregnant in 5 weeks. Therefore, the x-ray test cannot be performed, for example. Please, tell me about your experience of wife...

Please, I would be interested to know where are these evaluations about degree + experience available. For example, what is the relation between MS+1 (in job description) and Ph.D. +0 (applicant)? PERM system said that the "minimum requirements are not met". Why? Thank you.

How interesting. I used to work at Babes Bolyai before coming in the US 7 years ago. Send me a message at emirica@emsl.com. I started this immigration mess a few years ago.

Mihai, are you romanian?

We could not go with Ph.D.+0 exp. because the salary came too high (level 3). We had a previous prevailing wage with Ms.+1 from the same company that was still valid and we wanted to use that. So, the ads were posted for MS+1 in Materials Science. So, I am still not clear. Why the Ph.D...

My case was filed on May 27th in Atlanta. It was quick. That means that the 3 years after master during the Ph.D. is not counted as experience. Anyway, I have the master from my country and the 10 years experience before Ph.D. But the Ph. D is from US and the lawyer wanted to use this. And...

Hi. My PERM application was denied today. The job requirements were MS+1 year exp. in Material Science. I have Ph.D. in Materials Science and it was included as such in the application. The reason for denial was "the candidate does not meet minimum requirements". Does anyone have any...

I am in H1B visa with a company. I have received an offer to work a second job with a different company as technical consultant (work in week-ends’, from home, extra from the 40h full-time job I have with the primary company). They offer me mostly stocks as payment. I know that you can have...

What's wrong with DV? I work in the US for the past 7 years, I am paying taxes, I am for an eligible country for DV. I am indeed stuck with LC in PBEC, but I have nothing against DV. Why not then lobby against any lottery, of any sort? Green card is a lottery too, at a different level, but still...
