Further update: My wife received approval for her COS to F-1 visa this week. She also got the EAD based on her I-485 application. So, there is reason to be hopeful. Cheers, KK

Should be okay.. But, try to retain your job title though. I changed my department in March 2007 within same company, same building but there was no change in the job title or job description/responsibilities. Even though my new manager's title is very different from my original manager, i...

Yes, I included an employment letter stating that i am still in the same job with same title, description and the salary is at least xxxx, (the amount mentioned in my labor filing). I also included pay checks as support documents for I-134 (affidavit of support).

H4-F1 details I got quite a few PMs for this, hence thought of sharing the same info here. Few clarifications about the I-539 form: Do I need to say "yes" to any of the following questions? a) Are you, or any other person included on the application, an applicant for an immigrant visa...

God is great..Indeed Yes, you are absolutely correct. My lawyer told me that she shouldn't travel outside the country till we get her AP (if and when her PD becomes current). Update on my situation: Based on today's revised bulletin (July 17th), my wife's AOS that we filed on July 2nd...

Hi, Here is the list: 1. Purpose of application for change of status to F-1 2. I-539 along with Check for $200 in favor of USCIS. 3. Photocopy of Admission letter 4. Original I-20 from University 5. SEVIS I-901 Fee receipt 6. Photocopy of I-797 approval notice for H-4 visa, along with...

Oh..My wife already was admitted for the Fall program. She was planning for this from last december. She wanted to do it on H-4, but now she will have to do on F-1 visa. In your case, you may consider talking to DeAnza college (if you are in bay area) or any other community collges. Admission...

Hi, We spoke to two lawyers (one from my company and the other outside) and they both suggested that i should go ahead and apply for F-1 visa right away. And, hopefully it will be accepted. I filed the I-539 to change my wife's status from H-4 to F-1. Let's hope we get the response soon...

Got card production ordered mail I got the mail y'day (July 10th) that they ordered the card production on July 9th. Any idea how long it takes to receive the I-485 approval notice and the actual card? Before you congratulate me, i shall tell you that this is a disaster for me as i couldn't...

Hi, The worst thing happened and my I-485 got approved yesterday on July 9th. I am not sure how it got approved even though my Priority Date (July 2005) has never been current. Now what? Is my wife's H-4 still valid? Is there any grace period? I just got the I-20 from her school and am...

Hi, I think you would be able to file for their I-485 only when your PD becomes current. (Hopefully in October). Till then, they can stay on H visas. The only concern is if your I-485 gets approved before you could file their I-485 (which is a remote chance, but it happened in my case)...

I guess mine is contrary to many of the posts here. I don't want my I-485 to be approved till my wife can file her AOS. I applied for my I-485 when i was single in Sep 2005. I got married in Feb 2006 and we came on H-visa. We have been waiting for my PD to become current so that my wife can...

Hi all, I am applying for F1 visa in the second week of May with an I-20 from Univ A. But, i am also waiting for admission status update from a university of my choice (Univ B). But, i was told that it may take as late as June last week to get the admission result. So, if i appear for an...

Hi, Thanks very very very much for the response. So, i take it that i should send my wife's passport details as well without any concern, right? Yes, i couldn't add her to the I-485 now because the PD is not current. My PD is July 2005. I don't know how many more years i have to wait...

Hi, My H-1B expires in July 2007. My company hasn't filed the H-1B extension yet. They plan to do it in June using premium processing. Does the short validity on the H-1B adversely affect their visa chances? Also, i have applied for my I-485 earlier and i have my EAD and AP with me. The...

Hi, My H-1B is expiring in July 2007. I plan to apply H-1B renewal in Jan 2007. I am also considering changing the job role from engineering to marketing in the same company and same business group. Do you suggest i change the role first and then file for H-1B extension using marketing job...
