Hello Folks,
I am on H1-B and have an EAD. My Dad is a builder in Hyderabad and I want to promote the apartments in US. Can I rent an office space and just do marketing without registering a business? All sales will be completed in India.
Thanks for your advice,
Ramki
Notwithstanding the advice you get here, you should contact an attorney for legal advice. Don't act on the information you get here. You don't want to jeopardize you immigration status.

I came in US with my family when I was 15-16, back then we were on L2, then as time passed by we switched to H4. Then I turned 21 so I had to go on Student Visa (F1). Still living in US legally.
Now my question is I've been staying in US over 10 years now, legally. I dont know if its rumor or not, but someone told me, that you can apply for Green Card if you lived in US over 10 years legally, is that true?
Going through all that H1B process sounds really hectic. Also all my family members, friends and relatives are here, I don't know anyone back in my birthplace. any suggestions or tips, would help a bit.
thanks :)

Hi
I lost my job in January and since I was not able to get a new project. So, returned back to India in May'09. My AP was valid till 21-July-2009. I did not file for extension while in US.
Now, I am getting a job in US and the employer is asking if I could join immdiately. Please let me know:
1. If there is any option for me to renew my AP from India?
2. Any other options, since my H1B got expired (6 years) in May'09.
Note: My EAD is valid till June 2010.
Thanks for your help.

1. You cannot file I-907 yourself with the USCIS to upgrade to Premium. It has to be done through your employer or Attorney.
2. However, it is legal for you, the beneficiary, to pay for it ($1000 fee), i.e., you can write a check that is payable to the "Department of homeland security".
Form I-907 is a fairly easy form to fill. Fill it out, get it signed by your employer, and send it to the service, on behalf of the employer.
If you know the receipt number of the H-1B application, it shouldn't take you more that 20 minutes to get it all out.
PS: If the post helps you, how about contributing a fraction of that $250 to this noble cause :)
Gurus,
My H1B extension is pending with the VSC. I want to upgrade my H1B extension to a premium process by paying 1000 USD.
Now, my question is - Can I do it myself thru efile or regular way using form I-907? Or should it be done only thru the employer or attorney?
I am asking this because my attorney is charging a ridiculous attorney fees of 250 USD on top of 1000 USD for upgrading my case to a premium!
Please help.
Thanks!

Thank you so much for your input .Right now I'm in a kind of predicament that my current employer told me in the middle of premium processing that he was hiring another person in my place.Then, when I spoke with my attorney he said we couldn't do anything in the middle of the process but to go ahead with it.I was approved for H1B 3 days after this incident.But, I have never worked for them since then and it's been a month trying to find another non-profit employer.So, in the midst of all this scenario, what would be the next alternative to be in the USA, how long I can be like this , I dont have a single pay stub, so can I show a reason that I was sick /or leave of absence when I find another job and include this kind of document with the peition or can do nothing for this period of time in the new petition.Could anybody please help me and Thanks in advance.

I think that it is very common to get the EAD card with Finger Prints not available printed. I do not think that you should be worried too much about this.

Hello IVians,
I am with company A on L1B in the US. Company B is processing my GC for future employment. Now my L1B is up for renewal in December. There is a lot of paperwork that my company has asked me work on. In one of the questionnaires, I am asked if my labor / 140 / 485 is pending. I don't know what to answer.
-- The truth.
Does any of the forms for L1B renewal needs this info? Will it be an issue if I say no? Does USCIS really care?
-- if you lie and USCIS finds out then you are in big trouble. Also, existing applications can be looked up at any time (Eg: while adjudicating your 485 they can go over your old L1 application).
Atleast the visa stamping form DS-156 asks if an immigrant visa petition has ever been filed for you, so its not uncommon, dont know about L1.
Pls share your experiences.
Thanks!

Guys:
Is there anyway to get H1-B extension done fast ?
Using Premium Processing or anything like that..??
Please share your thoughts.
Yes there is. I paid for mine and got approval in 10 days. I did that because I did not want to wait.

I am getting ready to n-470 to preserve residency. My company is sending me to UAE for one week period which will leads to other long back and forth trips there. I need to file n-470 to preserve residency for naturalization. I have already lived here for more than one year as a permanent resident. My questions are:
1. Where do I find a sample communication letter as a support document?
2. What do I write in it?
Thank you in advance.
rubbing salt on wounds....good job. People are waiting from 2002 for Green Card and you're asking naturalization issues.

Hello,
Last week i received RFE for my wife's father's name. The name on birth certificate is different from school leaving & other docs. I'm trying to get it corrected from Mumbai.
I beleive if i get a correct one matching with other docs, i should be ok.
Another issue, i have is i have rented an apartment under my name close to my work in the same state. All my docs have my home address, my question is will it affect my case if they find another address under my name?? I still have official address as my home everywhere...
Yes you need to make sure that all documents have consistency in names and dates. As far as your second question goes USCIS has space for just one address which should be your current address. So as long as you can prove that the address listed in CIS system is the most current address then you are fine. There is no law or no way to provide multiple address. Just make sure you can prove that address on file is your primary residence.

I guess you can use your old I-94 to travel canada. Please see following link.
http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1260.html
When you travelled, they would pull the old I-94 and give new one.

tanyas_21: Amendment processing time is same as normal H1 processing time. Your status is H4 until the H1B amendment (797 w/ I-94) is approved or You re-enter USA after you get your H1B stamped. USCIS usually sends cable to home consulate mentioned in I-129 about the approval of H1B - It is one of the reason, most of the attorneys' recommend people to get it stamped from home consulate. As long as you go with all the paper work, You can get it stamped from Mexico, and I dont see any issues. Do not attempt to get it stamped from Canada unless you have a verifiable US education. Good luck!

The Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill introduced in the House of Representatives would revamp the existing employment-based (EB) preference system in a number of important ways: 1) Increase in EB Numbers - The number of employment-based green cards would increase from 140,000 per year to 290,000. 2) Recapture � Currently, 140,000 persons are permitted to immigrate to the U.S. each year under the EB preference system. If less than 140,000 visa numbers are given out by the end of the government�s fiscal year on September 30, the remaining numbers are essentially thrown away. As a result, in most years, 20,000 to...

Folks, here are some lobbying and action items that will be very useful.
1) Try reaching out to your American friends/managers/colleagues and ask them to call Senators.
2) Universities are missing in action here. They are major beneficiaries of high-skilled immigration, because graduate school is typical first step. They must be concerned with not only the fact that special categories for researchers/professors is gone but also that lot fewer students from India and China will labor in their labs. COUNCIL OF GRADUATE EDUCATION is a good place to start.
3) Someone please write and op-ed piece of NY Times. They are pretty sympathetic to these kind of issues. A major criteria for publication in the op-ed section is that the topic should be current. The plight of legal immigrants can't get more current that this. Any op-ed piece will get major exposure to our plight. Here is a link on how to contribute to NYT op-ed: http://www.nytimes.com/ref/membercenter/help/opedsubmit.html
The op-ed should not be complaining in tone, but rather show the value of having a proper high-skilled immigration reform for the American economy.
4) Where are those powerful desis we see on rediff? There are many desi executives, board members. They regularly dole out money to campaigns. If they can't put a word for us now, when will they do? After all most of them went through this process.
These are only some ideas on how we can cause at least some ripples. Please contribute more and put some in to action.

Hi all!
I've been trying to get a job offer from Canada for the past one year as my occupation is not on the list of occupations that have shortage. I'm a market research analyst and work online with a UK company for almost 3 years. I would love to move to Canada and have a real job and family but am at a stage where I do not know what else to do as the companies want you to be present in Canada and Canadian govt asks for a job offer to get a visa?
Very confused here. If someone got an arranged offer from Canada could you please guide on how much work experience you had and how you got an offer?
Thanks!
-If your job is not in NOC, you have limited choices.
1)Move to Canada & study for 1 yr., a person who have study there for 1 yr. in Canada & has 2 yr. of experience can apply for Canada immigration, even if his profession is not in NOC list. You would be eligible as you have 3 yrs. experience.
try this (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/skilled-worker-professional-immigration-b4.0/)
2)Job Offer from Canada, this would be quite tough as everyone prefers local candidate.
