Hi JoeF, She was in the EB1-Outstanding Researcher category, where employment offer is required, for a big private research company with several hundred researchers. She was on H1 having worked for the company for over 3 years by the time she got laid off, one month BEFORE getting her...

But her EB1 category does require job offer (not the NIW type). So what do you think of the consequence, JoeF?

Did they swipe your green card? Or just look at it only?

Thanks, but what makes you think it is OK? Any legal backup (URL etc.)? Although she was on EB1, she was on the category where employer sponsorship is required. So does that mean if you are on EB1, you can be laid off even before I-485 approval and then get green card legitimately...

First of all, she did NOT treat to obtain her green card. That's the point. So NO fraud was involved in her green card application. The sponsoring company did have the intention to apply for her green card all the way through and even paid for her attorney fees. She did not go through...

Why? Could you give your reasoning behind? Like to hear about your comments. Thanks in advance. She just consulted the lawyer. According to the lawyer, since she was put on the company's severance payroll till two months after getting the green card. (Plus, she already had obtained the "work...

Hi Here is a scenario where your feedback is most welcomed: My friend was laid off one month PRIOR TO receiving her I-485 approval notice in the mail, while she was still in H1 (already passed 180 days with AOS pending and obtained work authorization card then). However, she was offered a...

Also, with the lack of pay stubs (due to unemployment), how does the person proof his/her residency in the country? The tax return is another issue as well.

What if someone was unable to find job after being laid off by the sponsoring company? Till the time when the person applies for citizenship, will this prolonged unemployment create any problem? Given the high unemployment rate with some industries such as IT, there is a whole bunch of...

Hi kamboi, To answer your question, they have all information with them, including how you got your green card in the first place (also noted in your green card as well, e.g. Exxx-employment based). For employment-based category, they sometimes will verify your initial sponsoring employer...

Hi JoeF Let's be more positive, nothing is impossible unless if you try. With immigration and other issues in this country, nobody will pay attention to you unless if you speak loud. However, I agree with JoeF that we should use the appropriate way to tackle the issue smartly. We...

I totally agree and support the idea of giving credit for LPR to relieve the 5-year PR requirement a bit. In Canada, for instance, the time you spent in the country before becoming LPR is counted 50%, up to a certain maximum period of time, towards the 3-year physical presence requirement to...

Congratulations! Did she check your passport to verify your travel records as on the N-400 form? btw, How did you obtain your green card initially?

Thanks. Does anybody know how likely will this turn into law? Any recent progress?

I was reading a note posted by someone else and have the following: =================================== SEC. 102. FIVE-YEAR RESIDENCE REQUIREMENT FOR NATURALIZATION (a) Section 316(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1427(a)(1)) is amended by inserting "after the...

But what if for a frequent traveller at the land crossings who just happened not to have taken down any detail record for each trip? The person might just be able to put down from memory the rough exit/entry time. Would the inaccurracy cause any problem for future naturalization?

They don't? If so, then how do they determine your absences in such a case during naturalization? It is thought that they usually will check what you put in the N-400 form as length of absences against their computer record, right? Actually, a lot of people at the POE got their passports...

The passport is required at the POE (especially when flying in), even though it may not be required by law. This is because most likely, the BCIS officiers will need to stamp on your passport with a note of your length of absence. If without the passport, you might run through some hassels...

Also, can someone tell if the permit can be applied online or a form has to be used? Thank you.

Hi everybody, Given the lengthy processing time of re-entry permit (over 1 year), can we apply for a new permit before the current one expires, just to save time. Thanks.
