I have a job and I am on H1B. I want to apply for a change of status to H4. I want to know if I should wait for I-539 receipt before I quit or can I send the I-539 application and just quit. My goal is to not be out of status

Big Joe, Thanks for the prompt reply. Let me take a stab at my interpretation of these easy to understand laws and regulation :) This link states that one's absence should be temporary. I've lived in US for 8 years. If we have property, bank accounts, file taxes, obtain an REP before leaving...

Jack, its an employment based green card. What do you mean by delaying it. We have filed out 485 and as i understand now the ball is in USCIS court.

Anet, feel free to start your own thread.

I and my wife are hoping to get our green cards this year. We are thinking about moving to UK for a couple years. This move is just a short term career move so i can gain a certain international experience. After that we intend to move back to US permanently. Can we do this and not get our...

I do qualify for EB2 but since the dates are going in the wrong direction (lol) i am thinking if its better to apply in EB3. Also there is no reason EB2 is going to get better is there ? Thanks !! Tk (who hates the whole green card mess)

I am reading all these threads that say EB2 is going to be as difficult as EB3 for some time going forward. Can anyone through some light on why that is happening. I am too confused ! If old EB3 people are switching to EB2, then it can't be something new. People would have always done that. So...

can you please share your job profile etc that your lawyer thought was good enough for EB2 the very first time.....

I agree w/ the argument on immigration laws. No country can make favorable laws to immigration.. Although I think sooner or later they would give special privileges to graduates from US school and more so the ones with Masters degree and rightly so. But waiting for that to happen and planning on...

Very good point man ! This is what i am thinking. 1. Apply for LC. 2. Don't apply for I140. 3. Get an admit for MBA 4. Apply for F1. Easier since one doesnt have an approved I140. 5. Start school. 6. Ask the employer to apply for I140. If PD becomes current apply for 485 as you...

But the internship will be in the same field as what one wants to do post MBA and the full time job one has already is not essentially the same !

It is a hedge fund. They don't get bought out ! If they keep making money they keep running. If they keep losing money they shut down ! But again i am not too concerned about that !

Just to add some more info i found -- Lets say one has H1B, LC, I140 and I485 (pending), EAD, employer continues the GC process and you join school on that and not apply for F1. That would cause problem as one would not able to do an internship which is the most important part of the MBA...

Yeah that makes sense. Risk reward scenario probably not the best if one ends up in non top 10....Good point. Ok how about this... Lets say i get the F1 and i start studying full time. For some weird reason , while i am in the middle of my education, they reject my F1. Now i go back to my...

One applies for AOS after PD is current right ? I think the main delay is between getting the I140 approved and PD being current... One can do an MBA in that much time. Ofcourse if the PD is current and one has applied for AOS one can just wait for an year or so and get it over with.. Am i...

Thanks for everyone's reply so far. It is very nice of you to suggest part time/executive MBA as an alternate option. I have seen that being mentioned in many threads. I personally find it very discouraging. Ofcourse full time school is never the same as part time school. We should work together...

Green Card process is based on a future offer. As long as future offer exists you are good to go !

I must say your answer was very well thought out... About your a,b,c, a ) i wouldn't pay too much weight.. . i mean seriously . not so much can go wrong against you. b) i am little confused about this jargon. So lets say i have completed step 2 (first post. I140). now why would i apply for...

Hi guys, Breaking News ! This GC process sux. :) oh well I am on H1B visa right now. I have a masters degree. The first 3 year period ends in Oct 2008. Now my employer is suggesting that we start the GC process. I most likely meet the conditions for the EB2 category... But even then...

Hey, Why do you say that you won't be able to take any new/better job ? If you were on H1B before it means your future employer (post MBA) can get you the H1 visa right away as you wont be counted in the h1b cap... ?!?! Thanks !
