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.

With not many 'easy' H1b cases anymore. This looks like another route for the 'attorney' to get more clients, selling fear!
I agree !! it is definitely bad news and many may end up spending more on a plastic card. more business for lawyers !!!
maybe guiness book of world records should have an entry for the costliest plastic card I just hope and pray that future generations have better options at home and in different countries and links such as these point out the hard truth that everyone needs to have a plan B - and be mobile and ready to move. (i.e. not get stuck with immovable assets).

i am on h4 and this was the first time a company filed for my h1b. so would that be ok if company "B" files for my h1b with h1b filed with company "A" is pending with RFE.
Yes. I would refer to Co A's filing in the 2nd one, so that CIS doesn't think you're trying to deceive them or hide anything.

Guys,
I was coming to work and just heard a small advertizment about "All Things Considered" on NPR. The advt said like this -"There is so much debate is going on about illegal immigrants but there is little debate about Legal Immigration, that story later on today on 'All Things Considered'. "
Anyone has any idea? Not sure if they will be taking phone calls or its pre-recorded story but it will be good to have IV feature or at least IV agenda featured on NPR.

I am getting this error for last two days
"Multiple duplicate SRs already exist for the customer" i tried creating different account also . any thoughts???
Received the RFE today. It was asking for my birth certificate copy & translation. My lawyer says this is very common. For me this is stupid, they already got my birth certificate copy and the translation.

Dear All,
Need your help to let me know what are the options available after the denial of L1B petition?
A brief history of my petition which has been denied.
Case Applied: August 2008
RFE Issued against my case: April 2009
Response to RFE Submitted: May 2009
Case Denied : August 2009
Reason:Proposed job does not requires specialized knowledge and that you, as employee, do not possess specialized knowledge.
Other information: This case was a premium processing and still it took one year to make a decision. I am not sure why was that?
Can I reapply L1B blanket now (September, 2009)?
Also my job role is core developer in the project for 3.5 years now and I also support product related issues in a very complex financial project. I assume that my role was not correctly portrayed in the petition hence it got denied.
So, I need your help to let me know
#1 : What are the best available options for reapply?
#2 : Can I apply for L1B blanket?
#3: Is there any wait period to reapply?

Anybody?
This is inexplicable.
2003 PD and waiting?
This sounds like injustice to me.
Although I got lucky and got my GC however I honestly wanted them to do it in the
order of Priority dates.
My best wishes are with everybody.
May everybody get his/her GC before Sep 30th.

Yes for H1B you are entitled to get Return ticket back to your home country if you are being laid off or fired. Last year my earlier employer offer me return ticket to home contry. They specified that we are offering as per the clause or law of H1B visa. Offcourse I didnt accept it but you cant get money for not accepting this return ticket offer.
Hope this help

I would return home to Canada. I am not sure of the immigration policies in India :)
Could you point me to chapter and verse from some official DOL or USCIS website?
Thanks.

How long does FQIA on my I-485 application will take ?
Please let me know.
I created similar thread before, just lost in time.

Contributed $200 towards Advocacy.
It just cost 44 cents to file a FOIA. Just file it and think later how much time it will take.

1. You can apply for transfer but there might be an RFE asking about your paystubs which you can't provide as you are not on H1 now.
2. With new H1, you can only work from October 2010.
3. Now a days we can predict. If you want it quick you can opt for premium.
4. Any way even it is H1 Transfer or New H1, you need to reenter using your H1 so that your I 94 reflects your current status.

I received this private message from Sledge_Hammer. This is the person, who gets irritated when someone writes "u" instead of "you". He also has issues with other's control and understanding of English language. Over here, he has given me full exposure of his command over English language. Thank you --

Your life story!
You're a fucking son of a rotten whore that was fucked both ways by a rabid dog on the streets of Dharavi slums. While the dog was fucking your mother she was having such a good time that she even offered to lick the semen off of the dog's penis once it was done. Of course, while all of this was going on, your dad was getting ass fucked by your uncle, your grandfather, his father, and all the slum dwellers.
Nine months later you were born. You are the product of your mom's eggs and the rabid dog's semen.
Have a good day!
WOAH, LOL i can just imagine the hindi/punjabi version of it!:D

She cannot travel to india right now, as she needs rest after surgery. Can we apply visitor visa extension on medical grounds or is it safe to apply for extension on tourism/visiting grounds, Please advise.

talk to some lawyers, or research internet, there are some number of days, after your visa expiry or H1B rejection that you need to pack and leave...find out if that applies to your case..
also when you got approval was it having new I-94 attached to it..or was it approved for consular processing..

I'm curious if anyone has got multiple RFEs on their I-485 application. I had an EVL RFE last year and wonder about the chances they'll give that (or any other) RFEs again in future.
Any personal experiences?
By multiple RFE I don't mean many questions in 1 RFE letter. I mean USCIS sends you 1 RFE, receives reply and resumes the case and then at a later point in time sends another RFE on the same application.
No personal experience but based on recent visa bulletin and slow movement prediction going forward I would not be surprised if they send another EVL RFE, especially if your PD is more recent. This is because if and when your PD is approaching to be current, that could take 2, 3 4 or even 5 years. They may ask for EVL again to verify you still have a job offer after 5 years.

Hi,
I would really appreciate if someone throws some light on this issue. I am a J1 scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. I do not know what category that is because I am not paid either by my sponsor (upenn) or by my own government(India). Now, i wish to get enrolled in a full time MS program of University of Arkansas. In order to do that, should I apply for transfer of J1 from UPenn to U of A ...or should apply of transfer of visa from J1 to F1.In case I apply for F1, can I :
1. Start my classes till my transfer from j1 to f1 is pending
2.receive assistantship or on campus employment from UofA till my status from j1 to f1 is pending?
Thanks in advance.
