Hi,
I graduated on May 2008 with an MBA degree. My OPT started in Jul 2008 and is valid till Jul 2009. I am not eligible for 29month extension.
I was on an internship till Jan 30th 2009 and am looking for fulltime positions now.
I understand that I will have to file for H1 on April1st and I can stay in the US and work legally if my H1B is still in process under the cap-gap rule passed last year.
How long can I legally stay in the US on OPT without a job?
Can anyone please throw light?
Thanks,
TPR

Thank you so much for your reply.
My followup question is since my prevoius H1B expired few weeks back, am I still eligible to apply 8th year H1B extension thru company B based on previously approved 140 (with company A)?
Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Hi,
I need advice on my situation. My wife filed EB2 based 485 application through her employer and my application and my son's application were filed as derivative applications. My priority date is Dec 2005 and country of chargeability is India. My application and my son's application were approved on August 04, 2010 but my wife's application is still pending approval. It has been nearly 10 days since derivative applications were approved.
I understand that derivative applications cannot be approved without primary application getting approved first but why, then, my wife's application is still showing "initial review"?
I am confused and getting a little worried about this. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.

If a College fresh guy gets Rs 6,00,000 / yr at bangalore what will be the salary of a 10yr experienced developer 5 years down the line when the talents will move back ?
In fact I�m sure 10yr experienced can immediately mandate a salary of Rs 30,00,000 /yr at Bgl �. You will save almost the same that you are saving here.
PLease keep all media info in media thread.. Thanks.

MY PD - July 8 2004, RD July 2 2007 NSC. I-485 - Pending USCIS's mistaken with EB Classification. (came to know of this after opening 3 SR's and 3 Infopass appointments).
My Attorney wrote to USCIS last week about the problem with my I-485 (USCIS mistakenly put me as EB3 instead of EB2). I want to know experience of memebers / Attorneys who have writen to USCIS for any reason(s) (USCIS Mistakes, Eb3->EB2 porting, Etc) and goten response and how long did it take for getting the reponse. Any Hard LUDs/Soft LUD's after sending letter etc.
Please share you experience.
Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for that link. It is good to know that there is a possibility that I-140 PP may come back in the near future, even if in phases.
One comforting factor here is the extra $1000 is big money for no extra work which is very tempting to USCIS. So everyone knew they would bring it back as soon as the load became manageable, but the big question was when would the load become manageable.
Now from the article, it looks like it may start happening very soon.

Has the LC/PERM been approved based on EB2 is the question? IF yes, you should also try for it and ask your employer.
The new eb2 perm has been applied and pending.

There is no 6-year H1B visa. There is only 3-year H1B visa that can be renewed again for a total of 6-years stay on US soil. If you have spent 5 years on US soil and your tourist visa visits add ip to say 5 months, you still have 7 months on your H1B term. Even if you get a new visa it will be only for 7-months validity. Sometimes, USCIS makes a mistake and issues new 3-year visa but that is a gamble. Why not just stay off-US soild for a few months?
I left the US for good after spending around 5 years on H1-B sometime last year and have only made entries on tourist visa. Can I apply for a new 6 year H1-B quota since leaving the H1-B status last year or will I have to spend 1 year outside since the last tourist visa entry ?

As of June 19, 2009, approximately 44,500 H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085) cap-subject petitions and approximately 20,000 petitions qualifying for the advanced degree cap exemption had been filed. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.

For your condition, I believe for #15 is AOS pending .. you will lose your H1/H4 status when you entered using AP.
not sure about #14, I think it's PAROLEE.
Thx
Hi,
I looked at different forums. But I could not locate a definite answer for my questions.
I have H1. My wife has H4. Both will expire in 11/2009. I don't have stamp
but she has stamp. We both used AP to enter into USA recently. We did not use our EAD.
Questions on EAD paper filing :
14) Manner of Last Entry into the U.S. ?
15) Current Immigration status ?
I believe that the answer to the question 14 should be PAROLEE or Advance Porole. How about question 15 ?
The immigration officer put 'Conditions: AOS DA' in our AP and new I-94 both. What will be the answer, AOS Pending or H1B/H4 ?
Please share your experience. Thanks in advance.

I have a question about multiple 485 filings.
My PD was Eb3 May 2002 and I filed my 485 last week. My wife was added to the application as well.
Now my wife's PD is current and her date is EB3 Jan 2006. Can we file her 485again and add me again as her dependent.
Attorney says no but I am not sure if I can believe them. Besides there is a risk of not filing again for her seperately as in the future the dates may retrogress. I would prefer that both of us have independent applications in as well so we can both fall back on each others application if the need arises.
Is any one else in my shoes and knows the answer

Please advise:
I am on F-1 and working under CPT from Jan 07 to Aug. 07 and will extend CPT from Sept 07 to Dec. 07.
I applied I-485 and 765 (EAD) as a husband on my wife's LC on July 2, 2007.
I will not be getting my EAD before Sept. 07.
My confusion is whether is it legal to extend my CPT on F1 even if I receive AOS receipt number ??
you travel and try to re-enter US on F-1(PT) status this shouldn't be a problem. My understanding is F1 (non-immigrant intent) and pending 485 are incompatible for re-entry. Check with your lawyer.

There is always an ad for rain gear in the back of photo mags by this one company...I can't think of their name at the moment but I'll find it when I get home. Stuff looks pretty neat.
I've seen those ads, but wonder how effective the products are. I bought one after seeing it in an add and it fits perfect with my 300 but with smaller lenses it's to big. I was hoping I might hear from someone who has one for a smaller lense (17-80 ish).

Hi, I am currently on my 5th year H-1B visa. I have an option to stay with the same firm and they will help me apply greencard. But I am also considering an opportunity in Bermuda for a 2-3 year program (with the same firm).
My question is if I come back to the US after 2 years, will I be able to apply H-1B visa again? Will it be a whole new H-1B petition/application process subject to the H-1B cap?
Or will it be just another H-1B renewal process following my previous two terms?
Do I need to wait for another two terms of H-1B to expire before starting the greencard process?
Can I ask my currently employer to apply for greencard concurrently while I am working outside the US?
Thanks,
E
