Since your company does not want to disclose the financial statement to USCIS, there is nothing that can be done. The point really is whether they can prove that they have the ability to pay you for the position. Ask your company if they can furnish such a proof without disclosing their...

The research done during Ph.D. can be used if one can show that the research done was "outstanding". In any case, the original poster's credentials are weak for an EB1.

I am working at a University as a faculty member. My EB1-OR is sponsored by the University. The accompanying letter with I-140 lists teaching as a part of my job, along with doing research. If I now move to an *industry lab*, which is very reputed (spin off of Bell Labs; 100's of...

EB1-OR should be straight-forward. Talk to your University.

NIW is EB-2. For India and China, it is not current.

I used to think that you cannot get *any* kind of security clearance unless you at least have green card. Let us know if you do get one.

I am on academic H-1B (never been on industry H-1B). This summer I have an option for doing a consultancy work in a company. 1. Do I need to get the company file a concurrent H-1B? 2. If yes, what happens with cap? 3. If the company instead sponsors a project through the University, can I...

Go back to the consulate and ask for it! They are supposed to return you *all* original papers. I do not believe that a copy of I-797 will be sufficient at the port of entry. At best, it is risky.

In principle, you can get an H1 visa stamp from any consulate. However, remember that the consulate may request "security clearance" and they will not give you the visa stamp unless they get that from Washington DC, which means you would not be able to enter US for an uncertain amount of time...

VISAs in the old passport remain valid unless explicitly canceled by your home consulate.

Sorry, I indeed meant LCA H1-B.

Does an academic H1-B (petitioned by an institute of higher education) require labor certification?

Hello All, I am going to take up a new job soon. Both my current job and the new job are in academia and hence there is no issue about quota. My H1-B for the current job extends till next year September. However, the actual start date of my new job is Jan 15 (that's when the new semester...

The point is probably what an international letter good for. There are basically 3 things you need to establish: (i) Your field has national importance; (ii) your accomplishments have national impact; (iii) and your work is better than your US citizen peer. I do not see how an international...

EB-1 OR requires sponsorship from your employer. Most schools view post-docs as temporary employees and do not sponsor them for green card. If the school is sponsoring you, then they should take care of the letters (or give you advise on how to obtain them and what should be the general...

I believe that you can open a company, but you cannot "work" for that company on H1B. In other words, you cannot employ yourself on H1B.

This post probably should belong in the O visa forum, but I cannot post a thread there. Can I apply for a O-1 Visa while I am on H1B? What happens if O-1 is denied? Does such a denial affect my H1B status and/or future O-1 applications?

Hi, Currently I am working for a University with a cap-exempt H1B. Now I want to go to Industry. There are VISAs left in the advanced degree category for which the start date will be Oct 1. However, it is possible that the University will not be interested to retain me for Sep. So, if the...

I had to go for my H1-B stamping at Frankfurt consulate. For post-docs/highly educated people, they require additional documents that they do not post on their website. I feel that it is simply a way for them to excuse themselves from granting VISA immediately. So here is the list of things that...

My field Hi All, Thanks for your replies. These are very helpful. My field is computer networks. Although it is not precisely listed, I am assuming that group 3 ("All fields in Computer Science and Related Professions") subsumes that in addition to "Communication Engineering" and "Computer...
