Folks, Anyone had any experience with India Health Network's "Pre-existing coverage rider". See here... http://health.indianetwork.org/riderFaq.html I could not find any other insurance providers that specifically deal with anything other than outright refusal to cover for issues that...

Hi Folks, My sister came here on a F-1 last year (Sept 2006). She got married to a US Citizen in Jan 2007. The marriage was performed in India (so she has a an Indian marriage certificate, photos, etc etc) Now, she is back in the US on F-1. Presumably, her husband who is a US...

Folks, Just wanted to share the good news, and provide hope to everyone who has been waiting. We were pleasantly surprized to receive our I-485 approval in three months. We received the cards in the mail today. Here are the details. All dates are for primary and spouse (except the I-140...

Does this mean that a spouse, who initially was on H-4, and now has used the EAD (derived out of the primary&self I-485) will _NOT_ be able to revert to the H4 status once the I-485 is denied ? Of course, the spouse would notify the employer and leave the job. Clearly, the primary will revert...

Does the Name Check procedure only get initiated _after_ the I-140 is approved ? Or can it be initiated by the Service Center before the I-140 approval ? What exactly is the process to find out: A) Has the Name Check query been issued by BCIS ? B) What exactly is the status of that Name...

Folks, The H-4 petetion for my wife was approved today. Previously we had taken an appointment with the US COnsulate in Ottowa for July 1st week. The I-797C has no I-94 as part of it. What does this mean ? When my wife leavs the US, the current I-94 will have alreay expired (30th April...

Folks, We applied for a H-4 for my wife (on 13th March, 20006) who was previousl on OPT (expiring on 30th April 2006) We received the approval today (dated 30th May 2006) with the validity to the same day as mine (principal) (Jan'2007) BUT, there is no new I-94 at the bottom of the...

As far as I understand.. you should have no problems in getting the new visa stamped on your passport. My sister has done this twice.. primarily because it was a long wait in getting the appointment in Delhi. If the new visa stamping is rejected (which I doubt, since you already have an...

You have an OPT. This must have been derived out of a M.S/Ph.D. ? Since that is a higher degree, the 20,000 quota applies to you. Last year, this 20,000 quota expired on Jan 17th 2006, I think, and the regular 65,000 quota had expired sometime in August'2005 This year, the 65,000 quota has...

If one has been granted admission in another school, should the new I-20 be received before the OPT expires or (expiry+60) days ? Also, immediately after receiving the new I-20, is it imperative that the school be joined within 5 months of the I-20 reception date or the I-20 application...

What happens if the Old employer revokes the LC in the 6th year itself ? That means that the 7th year extension can NOT be applied ? How soon before the end of the 6th year can one apply for a 1-year extension ? Does termination of a granted H1 because the underlying LC was revoked...

Does this mean that one could get the first H1B extension with the new employer based on the 365 day rule of a valid pending Labor with old employer ? Do you mean that the second extension cannot be granted ? Or do you mean even the first extension cannot be granted ? What if the old...

Does the OPT become invalid as-soon-as she applies for her H4 ? or Does the OPT become invalid immediately upon the approval of her H4 ? Under what 'status' is she after her OPT expiry (30th April+60days) but before her H4 approval ? She will have an application pending, but does that...

Hi Folks I hope this thread provides some information to me and others in similar conditions. First some background My wife is on an OPT (stemming from her M.S. F1) and this expires on 30th April 2006. She has been searching for jobs, but hasn't found one. Additionally, only about 1000...

Alright :-). I was not going to do that. I will confirm everything. Thanks again for the help. I am glad that someone with a similar situation is posting on these pages to help others out with the same situation This is very helpful. Is there a specific document that you can point me to that...

But even if yours had gotten approved (and hence you had a plastic card, or a valid AP), you could have applied for her AOS based on your approval and gotten her an EAD/AP as well. Then it would have been a matter on only time; long time, I agree. Are there any problems in the...

Is it absolutely imperative that the derivative spouse has to file AOS either with the primary applicant or before the primary applicant's I-485 approval ? Can the derivative: A) Not apply for a AOS after the primary's approval if the derivative is already in the US on another valid visa ...

Refer to for which you answered And for which you answered I am a bit confused now. Initially you said that the F-1 status would be lost as soon as the AOS application was received by VSC and a confirmation sent. Subsequently, you said that her F-1 and AOS are completely independent. I...

Thanks for the help. However, one thing is not clear: When you say that the F1 status will be lost when "AOS is started", do you one of the following for "started": A) Application for AOS is received by VSC, and a confirmation (EAC#) is sent back B) Application for AOS is approved, and an...

But can one "maintain" the F1 OPT if AOS has been applied for ? Does it not get invalidated ? I am thinking that her moving to H4 might be helpful because if my I-140/NIW gets rejected, then she does not go out of status as I revert back to my H1-B, and she reverts back to her H-4 (based on my...
