I am trying to get a green card for the US. My parents are from east asia and I was born in Canada. I went to University in Maryland from 1992-96 and obtained my dental license. I am licensed in the US and intend to purchase a dental office soon. I will still be keeping my dental office in Canada for at least 1 year once I am able to work in the US. I heard about a investment visa however I am not investing more than $400k but it will employ at least 4 US nationals(ctizens). Can I still use the investment visa or can I get a visa for opening a secondary dental office in the US and still keep my existing office in Canada until I qualify for a green card. Also can anyone recommend a good lawyer. How much should it cost for me and my family(wife and 3 children ). Email me if you wish AT

Thanks for the response.

I do have some other questions as well :
1) So does it mean, if we apply for fresh h1 and once it's approved, we can stay for 3 years initially irrespective of L1 stay, for my case its' 13 months ? If not, how L1 stay affects initial h1 approval timings ?
2) If I apply for h1, let say in June'10, and once it's approved what could/should be my joining date with new employer ?

Thanks.

There is no issue if your wife is the derivative applicant and gets her EAD through you. You can also start but it is more complicated since your business has to be doing excatly the same thing as your labor application. Also, i think you should get lawyers advice if you are starting it. There is no complication for your wife to start a business.


T
The business started by you need not be the same as in your labor application as long as you maintain your job with current employer or you switch to a similar job. For example, you can start a company for renting real estate without any problem as long as you can show that your job as stated in the LCA still exists ow will exist when the GC is approved.

Hi

I am on H-1 and recently filed for my 485. After I receive an EAD in 6 or so months, am I eligible to go to school full-time while waiting for processing on my 485 application?

If you are on H-1, you cannot apply for L-1. You would have to work for a company outside the US for a period of 1 year before you can apply for a L-1 assuming you are in the US currently.

Hi

I am applying 485 for me and my wife.My wife got H1 in Oct 2006 but she didnt work until now So she dont have any paystubs.So my attroney suggested to do it on H4 but her H1 is to be collapsed for that she is planning to go canada (not for stamping)and come back so that her H 1 will be collapsed and H4 will be there.I came to know from my friends that canada people are not givng any I 94 for visitors who travle by road.If we request for I 94 they are asking to keep the same I 94 which we have in our respective document.I just want to know how to get the new I 94 for her?
And also Please suggest If there is any way to apply for 485 without cancelling her H1.
Thanks in advance

Applying for I-485 is not a problem.Problem is only if your your wife gets caught for not having paystubs(that means not maintaining legal status).If your wife having a valid visa stamping , she can travel outside US(may be india) and re enter into US which clears her previous illegal status.Let us know if you find more info.

Thank you! Hopefully 8c/page is not big money for me.

All you need is History/Documents report to check upon the status. So that's 8c per case. Opinions are free in PACER.

I was in a similar situation as you and had to use this firm. H1B filing experience was fine but the entire GC process and filing was not a good experience at all. There were days I had to call the paralegal and teach him the new immigration laws and that's never a good sign ! Because of their mistake I was stuck in Eb3 rather being in Eb2. May be they will deal differently with your case but have a chat with them and your company managers before you agree to use them. I m with another company and another attorney firm and they are awesome !

Anyway, pm me if you need more info. Good luck,

Just sent you a PM

No need for exp certificate in applying for H1.

At embassy/consulate, for visa stamping, you should keep it as they may like to verify. It is not mandatory but good to have.

I-140 is only for the beneficiary, i believe in the form you need to mention your spouse and children names but the reciept notice or approval notice only contains beneficiary name.

Hi Folks,

Please suggest how safe is it to travel on previous employer's visa stamp and new approval notice....

Also, what happens if your previous employer cancels your visa, can u still use the same stamp...

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am currently working on EAD, having invoked AC21 once in the past. My labor was filed in 2005 under EB3 (I was eligible for EB2, but my company filed it under EB3, as per their policy). I filed 485 during July 2007 fiasco and am currently working on EAD.

My job qualifies for EB1 now and few of my peers have got Green Card under EB1. Can I port my filing from EB3 to EB1? Would it be better to do it with current employer or with a new employer? Pl. advice.

Thanks


If you I-140 is approved you can port the priority date of your old I-140 to the new EB-1 I-140. You might not need to go through this trouble if EB-1 is current.

Jason, here's an old photoshop tutorial (http://www.dphoto.us/forum/showthread.php?t=2245) that will either confuse you or help you similar effects to the processed photos above. It will either confuse you more, or make it easier! Once you understand some of the principals, it won't take you hours at all. Good Luck! :D

Great info - extremely helpful for the photoshop newbie like myself - thanks
