Keep Visiting IV
It is better to maintain ur F1-status (meaning all that needed to be on F1) atleast till you get receipt number.
(So that there is no need to worry incase ur application gets rejected and you dont get receipr number).
If you are on F1 while applying i-485, There is no clearly defined rules on when your F1 status goes out after aplying I-485.
If you are currently on valid F1 status then you can keep that status if you want to, provided if you obey all F1 rules
In general, If you use I-485 EAD and AP you are almost out of F1-status
http://www.nafsa.org/_/Document/_/nsc-nafsa_open_house.pdf
from above link:
16. What is the guidance regarding adjustment of status and SEVIS maintenance? Until what point must a person maintain F-1 or J-1 status?
A period of authorized stay begins at the time the applicant properly files his/hersection 245 I-485 with CIS. The applicant’s nonimmigrant F-1 or J-1 status should bemaintained at least until their I-485 is properly filed to avoid triggering unlawful presence issues.

your site is not a good intro for business.
"home", "about" and "services" all link back to index, no content, no details about who is behind this, the examples provided in "portfolio" are not even clickable, and worst, the mail link doesn't work from index.html as it's misconfigured (emailto instead of mailto..), only from the portfolio page, but on this page, the link on the portfolio menu is wrong,
basically, you better hurry and get that site done if you're looking for jobs...

Hello all,
I am a student on an I20/M1 vis
I have just recieved a new I20, and sent a form I 539 for extension of my I20.
I have my old I94, I20 etc.
It is currently under processing.
First, is there any way they can move it to another processing center? Its in the vermont center right now, and they are still processing documents from May 2008 according to CIS website.
Second, my original I94 is valid till 14 April 2009 but my original I20 is expired.
My visa is 5 years(M1 valid to 2013)
Can I go and visit my home country with the old I94(since its valid long enough) and new I20(which just got issued)??
or do I need to wait until the processing comes through?
thanks in advance.

What are the dates for applying for H1 and the start date for H1?
I will be done with my OPT by June 2012, so when should i start my H1 filling and is there any way that i can extend my status?
what are the ways of applying for H1?
Sorry if i have been asking the same question which has been answered before, if so please do not mind to direct me to that particular page
Thanks,
Rohit
Do it as soon as you can. You have a lot of time though. This year's quota started from April 1 which will come into affect on oct 01. You have nothing to worry.

Looks like AGjOBS bill has good chance of passing. Does anyone know what the definition of agricultural worker is ?
Could one by considered agricultural worker if they are in landscaping business ? what about in agricultural sales.
We are about to see creation of huge black market for documents claiming someone is farmer if this rule is passed.
Can one be illegally working as Ag worker while on H1 ? :)
May find something here AgJOBS Amnesty Legislation Re-introduced (http://www.numbersusa.com/index).
AgJOBS amnesty legislation that would provide amnesty to close to 3 million illegal aliens was re-introduced in the Senate and House by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA; S. 237) and Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA; H.R. 371). The Senate passed AgJOBS legislation as part of its �comprehensive� immigration bill (S. 2611) last May, but the measure died when the House refused to take it up before adjournment. In addition, both the House and Senate saw stand-alone AgJOBS measures (H.R. 884 and S. 359) introduced during the 109th Congress.

Does anyone have any experience how long it takes to get the Canadian visa if my family members who are visiting were to travel to the Canadian Consulate in Seattle.
Earlier you used to get on the same day (in matter of hours), but apparently in March of this year, they changed their policy. "Minimum 24 hours" is not a very helpful indicator for planning :(
Temporary Resident Visas (Visitor Visas)
Applications submitted in person are accepted during our walk in hours Monday through Friday 8am to 10am. Effective March 8, 2011, applications submitted in person will no longer be processed on the same day. The minimum processing time will be 24 hours. Passports will not be returned until processing is completed. Processing times for mail in applications vary, please allow at least 4 weeks for processing. The Seattle Consulate does not provide expedited service, if you have urgent travel, it is recommended that you apply in person.

I was wondering if anyone has any info on the job
market for international students in NY. I will be graduating
in Dec and will be on the job market soon.
Some of my friends say that there are jobs to be had but
not many are keen on sponsoring H1, even non-tarp firms.
Can anyone confirm/refute this?
I heard the same from students in MIT, Harvard as well. I graduated in the 2002 tech downturn, so I know it first hand. Companies pretty much have a ban on hiring H1B.
From the American companies' standpoint H1B has so much headache, most H1B talent is not worth the hassle unless its a critical human resource.

You can apply for multiple H1B at the same time. No need to pay Company but they will aks you to join once H1B gets approved. so at that point you need to decide which one is better for you. You can work for both of them if one of them is ready to offer you part time work. Please Get attorney advice on that part.

few days ago, I tried to extend H4 visa for my spouse but I heard through one of the lawyer in the firm that once H4 visa holder used EAD, H4 becames invalid unless you enter again in POE using H4, we cant apply for H4 extension as the current status is AOS. But we are still exploring it.
I checked in H4 extension form I-539, they ask:
1. current immigration status?
2. whether you want to extend current status or change of status?
But my spouse is working so if we say change status to H4 from AOS then not sure whether she can use immediately EAD to work? I opened a thread regarding this.
Anybody experienced the same issue as above? Thanks.

What I was wondering was that, since BOTH F-1 and TN are non dual-intent visas, would they allow people to hold both of them at the same time? So that I can study during the school year, and work in the same area in the summer instead of having to go back home to support myself.

came back to US on dec 30. Didnt get paid for the month of sept oct nov dec. But i was never out of status as I was in india. ... i have paystubs till aug 30 2009. never out of status
You actually were out of status since Dec 30 till this moment and you still are out of status. You are immediately out of status once you are not paid for the job or fired, regardless of the fact if employer revokes H-1 or not.
You can not do H-1 transfer any more. Your next H-1 petition will be a new petition but you will not be subject to H-1 cap as you already have been counted for 6 years.
So I presume it would safe to get a job offer and leave as soon as possible, then wait for the H-1 petition get approved, stamp H-1 visa and get back.

Hi,
I am trying to find health insurance for my spouse who is in H4 visa.
Could you please let me know if I can buy the health insurance only for her? Is there some law which states H1B visa holder also needs to buy the health insurance along with the spouse?
BTW, I am living in NJ.
Appreciate, your inputs and pointers on this issue.
Thanks,
I guess the new law requires you to have a health insurance...please check the new law which came into effect last week.

Greetings all,
I am new to Immigration voice and feel very blessed for finding the site.
Here is my situation I am a green card holder since 1996. However I waited until now because I had I received probation before judgment in 2003. The case was expunged in 2007. The conviction was Annotated Code of Maryland article 27 , section 146 (c )(1 ) stipulating that : Any person who violates any provision of subsection (c)(1) of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction is subject to a fine not exceeding $1,000 or imprisonment not exceeding 3 years or both.
According to the information I found on USCIS, you can not have any conviction in the five years preceding your application; It looks like I should be fine. I am ready to apply now and it has been a good obedient green card holder for 6 years now, I don't have any issue with the law since 2003.
I am also married to a US citizen and have three children (all citizens). I was able to get all my information from the court prior to the expungement as well.
Please let me know what you think. Thanks you so much.
