Hi All,
I am here in US on a H1B and my wife is on a H4. She recently got admission to a graduate school and has to start next week. I am worried that if I get her COS for the next semester (this is a 1 year program), then woud she be eligible to get her OPT at the end of the program? She would have been on a F1 for less than a year, but would have completed the Master's program.
I tried to get more information, but what I saw was that the OPT eligiblility requirement is atleast 1 full academic year on F1. Is this correct?
Help is greatly appreciated.
I am in the similar boat, don't worry your wife can always take etc classes as electives, and complete her one year. You can always pick etc classes, and make sure you remain in legal F1 visa status.

The backlog is so huge that there is no "light" at the end of the tunnel
FB immigration is capped at 480K and EB immigration at 140K. Both are backlogged.. the ratio of cases is also perhaps 3:1 or 4:1, so the bulk of those pendng 485s are likely to be family based. the EB I-485 cases are probably somewhere around 250k of that 750k...
Also, what is a backlogged case? USCIS has been changing the definition as they see fit. At one point cases that were pending FBI namecheck were not counted in backlogs!

like family based etc.
Most probably today is History of legal immigration, tomorrow is family based immigration and Thursday they will talk about employment based immigration.
Keep an eye (or should I say an ear) out for Immigration Voice during the third part :)

it is fine to have both I-485s filed and pending - generally speaking, if one gets approved, USCIS should deny the other (as a LPR you will no longer be eligible to adjust your status to lpr).
Thank you very much for your reply. Just wanted to know what is "LPR"?

Now because all embassies and consulates required to use PIMS to verify your H1B status... sometimes takes several weeks to get the passport stamped. In my case takes 3 weeks after interview to get my passport back (embassy at Lima, Peru).
So beware of the timing
I just bring a copy of my wife H1B approval and copy of lasts taxes ... just in case

I'm not sure of the file format. I can't remember off the top of my head which type an eps doc is. I can say that swift will import any illustrator shape, or stroke. I think as a default it gives the object a 1.0 thickness.
If you have Flash, but no illustrator, no worries, because Flash will export any simple construct fills or strokes as a basic illustrator format.
I do almost all of my work in swift with imported shapes. (though the lathe and extrusion editors in swift are nice also)

My mother recently got a tourist visa for 10 years. I know that when she enters USA she will get I-94 which will be valid for 6 months, and she has to go back before the I-94 expires. My question is:
1) Can she go back to India for say 2 months and come back to US to stay for another 6 months?
Ex: she comes on 1st Jan 2011 , goes back 31st June 2011 , then stay for couple of months in India and Again Come Back on 1st Sep and stay for more 6 months ?
According to my understanding tourist can stay only 6 months in USA in a calendar year, provided they don’t apply for extension, is it true?
2) What if she comes on 1st Jan 2011 stays for 6 months, applies for 6 months extension gets it.
Goes back in month of Dec. stays for 2 months and again comes on March 1st 2012, will she face any problem at port of entry? Due to her extension she took on her last visit?
Please help me understand pros and corns? What is the best way to use 10 years tourist visa to stay in USA legally to Maximum period.

I'm facing a frustrating issue and am hoping that someone can provide help on this. I'm on my H1 10th year extn. My I-140 (EB-3) was recently approved and I cannot apply for I-485 as the visa dates are not available. My Company recently changed their name from ABC, doing business as XYZ, to DEF, doing business as XYZ (the doing business as part of the name is the same and there was no merger, just a name change).
My first question is does this invalidate my approved I-140 and should I refile the I-140. Also, when I file my H-1 extension what document should I provide to prove the name change (or is it even needed?)? Any help on these 2 questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

because i was getting conflicting opinions, i consulted an immigration attorney from a big law firm. here is what he says:
You can start working as soon the new company receives the h1b receipt notice.AC21 portability can be applied to H4 to H1 as well.
Link to AC21 guide:
http : // USCIS Home Page (http://www.uscis.gov) / files / pressrelease / ac21guide.pdf
"D. AC21 105 -- Visa portability
The AC21 105 provides that a nonimmigrant who was previously issued an H-lB visa or provided H-1B nonimmigrant status may begin working for a new H-lB employer as soon as that new employer files a "nonfrivolous" H-lB petition on the nonimmigrant's behalf, if:
(a) the nonimmigrant was lawfully admitted to the United States; (b) the nonfrivolous petition for new employment was filed before the end of their period of authorized stay; and (c) the nonimmigrant has not been employed without authorization since his lawful admission to the United States, and before the filing of the nonfrivolous petition."
Based on above information. I would assume that its safe to start after getting the h1b receipt notice. This is for other people in similar situation so that they get the right info.

How much time we need to wait before we start campaigning for a separate bill like SKIL bill.
I would like IV core team to Initiate some work, the work which volunteer like me can take forward. I am not good at lobbying, but I am sure with you folks help, I can do something.
Can super moderators can come up with a master plan, which we can implement at each state. Once one of the moderators commanded that � I like the Idea, but why don�t you volunteer for it, since it is run by a volunteer organization�.
I appreciate your command, but some one can lead it and let us take care of the rest. Initiation is the most difficult.
I too am busy with my work, but for the noble cause and to release the frustration which I had for this EB-system, I can take any trouble.
As I mentioned before, I can contact Sen.Mike DeWine, I met there staff before for some personal reason and they were too nice.
John Boegher ( Forgive my spelling) Majority leader is in my constituency. I can easily talk to him too.
But as an individual, it is practically impossible to make any impact, but as a group, at least 50 people with a several sign petition from each state, if we approach it can make some difference. I have some influence to get it published in Dayton daily news too.
Also if I do it at only Ohio, there may not be an impact, but if we all try to coordinate in different state, at the same time, the massive force can make lot of difference.
We can also include the University student at least can sigh the petition.
Any thought is appreciated, every time in the forum, people says � it s good idea� and leaves at that point, please it is the time, we need to act.
If we agree to my above point, we can start collecting the names and phone No with the state wise. It may take some time but surely we will keep it as backup.
Loosing the battle and telling that we will pack up and go back to India is not the solution, that is coward. I am sure, people who commended, will live for next several years complaining about the system.

Hi,
I am a green card holder via the DV program of 2007 and my husband is on student visa. We had entered US individually prior to our marriage. Our marriage took place back in Nepal in 2008 and considering the long waiting period for the dates to become current, I didn't file I-130 for my husband immediately after our marrigage thinking that we would wait for my citizenship. But now seeing the advancement in the current dates for Family based visa, I would like to file the I-130 for my husband. Please advise what my best bet would be? Wait until I get my citizenship or file now? Also if I file now, how long might it take for him to get his EAD and GC?
Can I file the I-130 form on my own for would need to get a lawyer for that. Currenlty we are in Seattle, Washington.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

All,
I am a little confused. I just got my H1B extension done recently and my attorney sent me a letter saying that if I go out of the country for stamping I need to make sure my Passport is valid beyond the H1B period.
My passport expires in May 2008 and my current H1 is valid till July 2010. Does anyone see any issues in going for stamping in India in July 2007 with my current passport and later on some time next year applying for a new Indian passport.
Appreciate your help
