Me and the wife have our H1B and H-4 approvals (I-797s are good until June 2012). We both have EADs and AP documents. I have never used mine (EAD/AP) but wife has been using both of her documents. She travelled (March 2010) on an AP (AP good from Sep 2009-Sep 2010) and upon entry was...

You missed the boat when it left for off-shore in july 2007!! Get in the line (File your 140) and wait until PD becomes current..I am sure boat will make second trip soon, then you will be able to take-off (485) , take-off...yeah in a boat!!

From what I have seen thus far, all of the above scenarios are correct. I have seen people who have been counted toward the cap and some I know have not been counted toward the cap. Most of the people I have known have had no trouble getting to private practice or for that matter into so called...

J1 Waiver approval This is what I heard from USCIS 3 years ago (2006) upon approval of my J1 waiver condition (based on the VA recommnedation). "Application Type: I612, APPLICATION TO WAIVE FOREIGN RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS Current Status: Approval notice sent. On June 28, 2006, we...

Hello Gondalguru, was your PERM filed (2006) by the same employer through which you had filed NIW in 2004 or PERM employer is different from employer at the time of NIW petition? Am I correct in assuming that you began the NIW employment in July-Aug 2003? Thanks.

My husband is a J-1 waiver EB-2NIW physician at a VA Medical Center. Our adjustment is pending. I have an EAD. My husband's department at the VA has daily need of contract/fee basis physicians and approved funding for the whole year. At the present time they have enough US CITIZEN/GREEN CARD fee...

Is any one familiar here with the USCIS's service center and lockbox receipting updates issued on Aug 3rd 2007?

if i were you, i would with the approach you have just suggested, maintain your h1b. system is not reliable at all.

Travel Dont day dream please! USCIS is not sending anyhting anytime soon (i.e. before aug 17) that will give you time to rectify. This is the single chance given out (by mistake and they are already paying for it) by USCIS. Agency is finding every single, most crapy reason to reject the...

I am an EB2-NIW physician who doesnt require labor/perm etc. I have submitted a bunch of petitions (I-140, 485, 765, 131) on my behalf and my spouse (except 140) to the USCIS since dates were current for me and I was labor/perm exempt in he month of july. I am not too keen on counting down...

Sequence of approvals? I am an EB2-NIW physician who doesnt require labor etc. I have submitted a bunch of petitions (I-140, 485, 765, 131) on my behalf and my spouse (except 140) to the USCIS since dates were current for me and I was labor/perm exempt. I dont count down the time for I-140...

Why not EB-1 If all those who file for EB2-NIW (researchers self petitioning for waiver of labor...) then why then they all just file in EB-1 extraordinary etc etc. Is EB2-NIW any easier to get into than EB1- extraordinary thing? Btw I am a NIW physician (its different category for...

Hello I see a lot of people filing EB2-NIW I-140. Are you all aplying for NIW-physicians category? If not (reseachers), then who certifies on your behalf that your work is in National Interest. Btw ETA 9089 is needed in multiple sets for the petition.

So what should the Indian NIW-EB2 physician's strategy be? Does that mean: 1) File NIW-EB2 140. Can one get extensions beyond 6th year of H1B based on approved NIW-EB2 I-140 (since person will be retrogresed)? And keep working for the same employer untill PD becomes current? 2) Also...
