    H1 B transfer .plz plz help

    While I am not sure what is best in your case, past paychecks may not always be necessary for H1 transfer. There is one case I know of in the past (with vermont cis, within the last 24 months) where the transfer was done without past paystubs (the lawyer correctly suggested these weren't needed...

    Retrogression and I-485 application

    As I understand, if you file I-485 between now and Oct 1, it will be accepted but not processed until your PD becomes current. (i.e., it won't be rejected, but that's about it.) So I guess it makes sense to file I-485 only if it helps with EAD. - If you file I-485 before Oct 1, and request...

    I-485 now? Spouse on F1 and I-140 pending.

    Hello, I have an I-140 EA pending at VSC, since early June. Given the retrogression, we wonder if we should file an I-485 (just an I-485; no plans for filing for EAD or AP) before Oct 1. Could you share your thoughts/experiences on the potential downside given the following: -My spouse...

    I-539: change to F1 processing time

    Thanks for the replies. I haven't gotten the I 20. I got my approval notice within 4 days of the online status update. It took pretty long for me..almost 4 months for approval from the receipt date, NO RFE was asked for too. No reason for the delay was given. Some say that they just don't bother...

    H4-F1 approved but I-20 not yet received

    Hi, I received my F1 approval notice just over a week ago, for an H4-to-F1 transfer. But I haven't received my stamped I-20 back yet.

    Hi, Vermont's processing-time table as of April 7th 2005 shows that the last I-539 ("to For M") processed had the receipt date of March 12th 2005. Mine has a receipt date close to March 12th, but it hasn't apparently been considered yet. Has anyone whose application was recieved after March...

    I-140 and spouse's H4-F1

    Physics to Finance. EB-1 evaluate?

    Thanks for the comments. I do have an MBA as well. If I file for EB1 based purely on the MBA and my current work, there won't be any publications to show (since the investment work is confidential). I figured that this would make it more difficult for meet the EB1 criteria. Which is why I...
