If I-140 has been approved, would it still be fine to apply for transfer from H1-B to F1 status by using form I-539 & university issued I-20 ? How long does it take to transfer status from H1B to F1 ? When can one start school �. Only after I-539 approval or after only applying ?
For pursuing an MBA, does it matter if one is on F1 or H4 (spouse is on separate H1)?
Please look at Zima's post in For NIW and OsR applicants (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3081) forum.
You can get an answer to the second question by asking the International Student Office of the University. That answer will be more reliable then the answer from a lawyer.

Hi Vinod,
As a practical matter, you probably want to file your wife's I-485 application as soon as possible after the first day of the month in which your PD becomes current. As you know from experience, PD's can and do retrogress dramatically with little or no notice.
If your wife is in H4 status on the date that your GC is approve, she will automatically fall out of status. She can remain out of status for up to 180 days without losing eligibility to file for AOS, but if the PD retrogresses before she files, she has to wait and hope that your PD becomes current before 180 days have passed.
If your wife changes status to E-3 she can still file her I-485 when your PD becomes current. But,
E-3 status, unlike H-1 status, requires non-immigrant intent. So, theoretically, if your wife changes to E-3 status and then files the I-485 within 60 days, an allegation of immigration fraud could be made and possibly result in denial of her I-485.

Yes, the new quota starts on Monday. However, you still need a current priority date and all security clearnances before you are eligible for approval. (At least that's how it will work for the most part).
Who knows if they used all the 2007 numbers up. I suspect they will be very close to having done that given the number of applications they had.
Does the new Quota start Monday Oct 1 st?? Can we see approvals coming right away or will USCIS take some time to access the number of application received and then request the visa numbers..
Also did USCIS use up all numbers for 2007?
Any ideas???:confused:

A friend of mine is a citizen from a non Visa-waiver country, married to an American. They've been married for two years and she is expected to receive her green card in a few months at the embassy of her country of origin where she still lives. Because of abuse issues, she wants to separate asap but is afraid he might retaliate by trying to prevent her from receiving her green card. Is that possible, or should she wait until she has the Green Card in her hands? Thanks!

Hello All,
I am travelling in June to India, during that trip I have to stamp my H1B visa at Mumbai or Delhi. Does any one has a recent experience at Mumbai consulate about visa interview? Does anyone knows current acceptance percentage at Mumbai or delhi consulate? Is it safer to travel in the economic crisis?
At the same time I have heard some rumors regarding rejection at Port of Entry is that true. Anyone from this group has faced such situation?
Thanks in advance

Send a detailed letter explaining that you are at a risk of losing job to the EAD expedite fax line.
Another alternative is to take infopass and explain the situation to them and take the letter with you so that can send it to the proper place.
Also call the IO directly at 1800-375-5283, 1,2,2,6,1...3,4
Something should click.

140/485 concurrent applied aug 17, 2007 at NSC. PD May 2007 EB3 India.
I am with same H1b employer though now on EAD...h1 expired as PERM not applied until 6th yr h1b, so had no option.
As most know, NSC concurrent 140's will be taking forever to be processed. I have no hope for approval anytime soon. Actually I am expecting a RFE or NOID (hope not) because my labor cert approval was not submitted with my 140/485 due to timing of PERM approval and July fisasco deadline...i am lucky i still got receipt and EAD/AP.
My question...I'm basically miserable at my job. My employer is idiot who's making life difficult. I want to change jobs. I know it's very risky with 140 not approved.
1) can i invoke ac21 since 140/485 pending over 180 days? And if I can, what happens if employer revokes pending or approved 140?
2) With AC21...occupational outlook code is most important? Job title? or job responsibilities? I am looking to try and change what i'm doing...the job code is the same...the titles are somewhat different...and so are the job responsibilities...however it's same job code.
Please suggest....I don't think I can take any more with my employer.

Yes you can apply for EAD and AP separetly anytime
The only catch I found out recently is that when you use AP to travel back to US, this may invalidate the H visa and you will need EAD.
I am still not clear of this issue. I applied for EAD few months ago and found out this may be an issue , so have applied for AP (By e-filing) now

Thanks in advance for answering my question:
I have had an EAD from past 2 years, but I also had a valid H1B I was working for company A on H1 and my GC is filed by Company B future employment(and hence the EAD)
- Company A went down last year, so I was laid off, so my H1 lapsed.
- I switched to Company B since I have an EAD through them.
- I am on Company B's payroll currently.
- The company A folks needed help after they were shutdown, I helped and was paid for hours. (doing same and similar work) but not issued a 1099...
Question - I will need to file taxes on those hours, in terms of immigration have I done anything out of ordinary here? I don't know if USCIS and IRS connecected, or I am just being paranoid here?
Thanks!
As you are on EAD nothing wrong is done as for as USCIS is concerned. Just add that income as self employment income you should be fine. Also you can deduct those expenses you made to earn that income.

Atty Said ,It is fine to write 6/30/2010;The LCA can be for a longer period of time than that which is requested in the I-129 petition � it just can never be for a shorter period of time.
Thanks in Advance.

It appears like USCIS is finally reviewing the option of issuing Multi-Year EAD's..
Please see Memo release from USCIS
Source :
http://www.immigration-law.com/
1.
Question: During a recent meeting, USCIS stated that it hoped this summer to introduce multi-year EADs for I-485 applicants whose cases were backlogged. Please provide more information about the types of applicants that would be eligible for such EADs?
2.
Response: A proposal is currently under review by USCIS program offices to issue a multi-year employment authorization document to those applicants affected by visa retrogression. If this proposal is adopted, it will apply to adjustment of status applicants.
3.
Question: Please explain what USCIS means in this context by the term �backlogged� � does it refer only to cases pending more than a certain number of months where applicants are filing for renewal EADs?
Response: USCIS is considering issuing multi-year EADs to those applicants affected by visa retrogression. Further information will be provided once a final decision is made.
4.
Question: Will I-485 applicants receive an initial EAD that is valid for more than one year? Does this apply to all I-485 applicants (family-based and employment-based)?
Response: Further information will be provided once a final decision is made

Hi
I am going to appear for H1-B interview next month.
I was supposed to get my degree in 2000(Electronic Engineering) however due to backlogs and since I started job before degree completion I completed my degree in 2005.
Is that a real big problem?
Although I have double bachelors one in Electrical Engineering and other is science but my work evaluation is based on my bachelor of engineering degree.
Please help.

I believe as long as you have a degree certificate and 3+ years of work experience you should be fine.
- not legal advice
