Hi, my daughter got a job but before the H1b could be filed the quota for 2006 got over - on May 26 2006. Her OPT expires on May 15 2007. What are her options? 1. Any chances that the quota will open again for this year? 2. She was told that she can apply on April 1 2007 and get premium...

What is the difference between H1B and EB visas? Does not the H1B get converted to a Green Card - or is it that H1B visa holders are eligible to apply for immigration

Hello everybody Thanks for all this input. Can my husbad get an Affidavit from relatives we are like - cousins of his mother or father. Problem being that there is only one aunt directly related who is alive. Geeti

You have to check if your priority date is current - you must be on F2B - so see the vise Bulletin to check if the priority date (should be May 1999) is current for your country.

Thanks We are getting a 'Non-availibility ' cert from the Muncipal authorities. And have got an affadivit from an Aunt who was present at the time of his birth. So with these two things, I suppose, it should be sufficient? Thanks for the reply Geeti

Hi So is there any news that the retention of Priority date clause under the CSPA will come through? There are so many people waiting for this to happen!! The surprising thing is that you move up automatically from F2b to F1.... the same logic does not work here

So when so many people are interested in more clarifications shouldn't the concerned authorities give some clarifications? And if one case has been approved they should also let others take the same advantage rather that wait for them to fight out the case.
