What are the best options for parents who are visiting? What are the best options for parents who get green card?

how is the max time one can stay in the US on H1B visas calculated? If a person goes outside of the country for around 6-7 months, does that buy extra 6-7 months to extend the H1B visas? My wifes H1B visas expires mid 2010. So my question is what if she leaves the USA right now for 6...

Waht exactly is "follow to join" ? Also does a CP process depend on Priority Date? I was wondering if I can start a CP process for my wife if it is not dependent on priority date? Can she get her Green Card in India? If this is possible, how long does that take? Does she have to be in India...

One more option I was thinking about. Please let me know what do you experts think? Is it possible to convert my EB3 case into EB2. To the best of my knowledge my qualifications match with requirements for EB2. The question is can this be done for an already apprioved case. If this could be...

My GC was approved 2 years back and it still shows "Testing and Interview" Whats that supposed to mean?

Thank you guys for all your replies. I really feel sad and angry at the same time about this situation. I really wonder how stupid these laws could be? I mean how silly it is to have no options for a mother of 2 infants and a wife but go back to her country? She is not an illegal like...

are there any other options just so that she can stay in the USA with her family? husband and 2 infants? I mean student visas? hardship basis? anything at all? We don't care if she can work or not. Also what her H1B finally expires and she stays in the USA, what will be our options then?

Opinion does count when the facts are not clear black and white. There is a lot of gray area around priority dates.

Thanks for the clarification. In the previous post you mentioned my PD would get current around 2012-2015. Please explain the basis if you don't mind? My PD is Sep 2002, EB3 India by the way.

The link I mentioned clearly states "your spouse will not have to wait any extra time for the visa numbers to become availble" Am I interpreting this wrongly?

Follow to Join RealCanadian and others, Thanks for all your help on this matter. I did not yet give up so have been doing a lot of reading and research on this matter. I just came across a page on the USCIS.GOV website abourt "follow-to-join" option for the spouse. Basically filing the...
