I was granted another H1 due to long processing times when my Perm was denied and appealed again, but time is running up and perm could very well be denied again. Wondering What are the Chances of my getting an E2 Visa? Investing $100K of my parents money into the company I've owned with...

What are the Chances of my getting an E2 Visa? Investing $100K of my parents money into the company I've owned with a partner for 6 years in the US. I plan to show the money is at risk by first paying off company debts as they arise before pulling the money back out of the company if the E2...

I'm not sure which EB category it is, but he's definitely seeking that route to a green card now. Upon the H1 visa (1 year visa) approval last week, he's been quite clear that marriage is no longer a consideration as it had been before the approval. NuvF who wrote in was right on in his...

If someone has lived in the US on various visas for 13 years and was approved for a new H1, are they required to leave the US for visa stamping in order to activate the visa? Uncertain if unlawfil presence occurred since the last visa was an F1, which ended during the processing of PERM and H1...

The attorney said if an immigration officer deemed the marriage invalid given how close it took place to visa expiration, then he could be banned from the US for life. This is a huge risk that we don't want to take. He's followed all immigration laws for 13 years, so why can't we take another...

Didn't realize we shouldn't post to the forum if consulting with an attorney?!?! I'm a USC mother to a USC 2 year old with severe disabilities. Our child has emergency surgery nearly every month and needs his father! His dad and I have been dating for 5 years and were advised not to marry...

Attorney explained that a labor certification will still be considered “pending” while the denial or revocation of the labor certification application may be appealed, or while the appeal is actually pending, for the purposes of determining if an H-1B nonimmigrant is eligible for extension of stay.

How do you determine if unlawful presence has begun to accumulate when the most recent visa was an F1? The F1 was terminated from not meeting attendance requirements and reported by school to ISO in January 2010. Since then, a perm and H1 visa were denied and appeals are being filed for both...

When an F1 visa holder is not permitted enrollment in school for future semesters, due to lack of attendance (family emergency), on what day does the 180 day clock start which applies to the bar? I've read that F1 holders are given 60 days before the 180 begin to accumulate...making the total...
