Although I do not know the answer to your question about age restrictions, here is my understanding regarding I-140 in general. For the employer-based I-140 petitions the dependents do not come into play. The employer files the petition just based on your father's employment. The dependents...

Thanks jackolantern for your responses.

Thanks. Unfortunately, my attorney is out of station and will be back only end of July. So I am on my own on this one :(

Hi, As explained in my previous post, I got a medical RFE asking us to submit medical examination. It is due July 10. The TB skin test turned out to be positive and the INS physician has referred me to the county health dept. He said he will also put that remark in the I-693 form and give...

Just an update: got the EB1-OR I-140 approved prior to my trip to Canada. Just returned from Canada. Used my H-1B visa as suggested by jk. No problems in re-entering. Now got an RFE for I-485 asking for medical because I didn't submit one as my wife and I were expecting a baby at that time...

Referral to health dept even w normal x-ray: Please help! hi, I got a medical RFE for me and my wife asking us to submit 693 and 693 supplement. We did not submit a medical when we submitted I-485 because my wife was pregnant. I have the following questions: 1. Where can I find form...

Thanks jk. The note about flight reservations was because I needed to make prior reservation as the rate keeps increasing each day. Looks like I should be safe with the travel in terms of status. Thanks.

Hello all, I have a question on travel which I hope experts here may be able to shed some information on. Here is the situation: My current visa status is H-1B with a valid visa stamp expiring Oct 2010. EB2-NIW I-140 approved. No I-485 associated with this (not current priority...

I am not an expert on this...but based on information that I have read, for B1/B2 visas I think you need to leave the whole North American continent and re-enter in order to get a new I-94. So that means going to Canada and Mexico and returning back to US is not going to help in getting an...

Thanks !

I read on the USCIS website that the visa "may" also become void in this case and that one would have to reapply. Does this always happen even if we leave US within 10 days or so after getting a denial of extension? Has anyone had experience where the extension was denied, returned back to...

David, The USCIS website gives the "typical" processing time for each type of application. Check the following link https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard.do . In the section "Processing Times", you can specify the form and category, and it should give you a typical idea.

thanks Sulpha. The other award was from a local section of a professional association which is open to students and post-docs. The poster award was at a national conference of a professional association (with international membership). The poster was open to anyone (not just students)...

Thanks.

Thanks for all the detailed responses and copies of the USCIS decisions. I will read through those. Where do we find those decisions? Is there a link that takes us to the decisions and their reasoning ? Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your guidance and comments kariboo. For sigma Xi membership, that maybe true for associate membership. Is it also true for full membership? In any case, doesn't it need nomination and approval? If this is not strong enough as you say then I am not able to think of a way...

Hello everyone, As some of you may recall from my earlier posts last year, I was considering NIW and EB1-OR. Late last year, I applied for both NIW (I-140 only) and then a little later EB1-OR (concurrent I-140 and 485), all at TSC. The good news is that NIW I-140 was approved. The bad news...

Thanks for your reply HelpingHand.

Hi bhakum/others, I am currently on H-1B and I am planning on filing for EB1-OR and EB2-NIW sometime early next year. Further, I will be traveling to India in May-June, and will have to get my H-1 stamped in India at that time. Since you have been in this situation before, could you please...

Hi Rajeev, Has your situation improved? Did you go back to India or did you wait in Canada until it was cleared ? Please let us know. thanks.
