that is available to applicants in research (such as doctoral students).
Murthy.com has information here:
MurthyDotCom : Employment-Based Immigration (http://murthy.com/eb1opr.html)
Additionally, you can always apply in EB1 Extraordinary Ability if you have outstanding qualifications (almost matching that of a Nobel Prize Winner or you are the top of your industry).
EB1-EA tips (http://bit.ly/dophyK) (<= Look here for tips)
Just a mere Doctoral degree does not get you qualified for EB1. You need the publications as well as recommendation letters from industry experts. :)

If it is not too urgent for you to visit India. I would recommend you reschedule your flight and do H1 in PP. Its just too risky to assume that you will get approval notice before your vacations ends and you will be able to schedule appointment and get stamping done. If I were you, would have postponed unless its absolutely urgent.

Well, the 109th congress already passed part-I of the whole process: changing the US laws to allow special exception for India.
Once the President signs this, they have to negotiate the so called "123 agreement" that is a bilateral *binding* agreement between US and India. It will again have to be approved by congress.
I don't think anyone here knows how long will it take for the "123 agreement" to be concluded and presented to congress for approval. But once it does, expect desi resources on capitol hill to be again busy with it as their top priority. And that would shut us out for the period this stuff is pending in congress.
So what I am saying is that the window between now and when the "123 agreement" shows up in congress for approval is important and we should not miss it. At the very least we should be aware that this is coming and plan accordingly.

1.Is it mandatory to have a pending 485 application in order to get H1b
extended beyond 6 years using I-140 approval?
2.Do I need to be with the employer who filed PERM in order to get the H1b
extended beyond 6 years using I-140 or can a new employer file for my
extension using the approved I-140( without having a pending 485
application ) ?
Greatly apprecite any response...
thanks
You can use your 140 approval notice copy to extend beyond 6 years. It does not matter to which employer the 140 belongs to. It is not mandatory that you should have 485 pending.

If she will not be able to get F1, what will be her status in USA ?
If she has filed for I-485 then she will be in Adjustment status - allowing her to study, work on EAD and travel overseas on AP. If she hasn't applied for I-485 when her F1 is denied then she will have to come back on H4 - she can study but not work.

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.

Are people getting soft lud on 485 recently?.
The reason why i am asking this is my 485 did not have any LUD for past 1 year and i got one today for all my 485(mine,dependents). 140 did not have any LUD only 485s. No AP,EAD renewals..
I know from previous threads it means nothing. Just wanted to check. Was trying to not post about this but at last i posted.

I believe the correct Kafka analogy should be "The Trial", not "The Metamorphosis".
The Trial is about a character, Josef K. who is arrested one day, out of the blue, for an unspecified crime. The novel is about K.'s futile attempts to figure out why on earth he is being prosecuted.

I was in united states for 5 years and 2 months on H1-B visa. I did not apply for green card during my stay and had to return to India in Aug'2008 due to personal reasons. I want to find out if I am eligible for applyng H1 in this year's quota through same employer with whom I had earlier H1.
Here is my situation -
1. My H1-B petition is valid till 12th July 2009. My passport is not stamped to reflect this date.
2. I came back to India for good on 31st August 2008.
3. If I go back to US before 12th July, I will only get extension for remaining 10 months (as I was in us for 5 years and 2 months). But I want to go for couple of years, so have to go on new visa after completion of 1 year in India.
So I want to check if I am eligible for filing H1-B in this year's quota through same employer ?

Nobody can file I-485 before their PD is current.
You need to wait 4+7 years to file I-485.
Till that point, you need to maintain a legal status here.

any ideas about 1-2day /night cruise from Houston/Galveston ? I want to avoid Immigration checks.
Thanks in advance.
there is a wonderful app called "GOOGLE". That would help you
follow these steps:
Procedure A
1.) type www.google.com
2.) in the small box that appears, type cruise deals
3.) click enter
4.) in the results page that you may or may not get [depending on what crap u typed in step 2] open each page
for eachpage follow the below things
Procedure B
1.) click on page
2.) look for the deal you want
3.) if you find it, then book
4.) if you don't find, then click on back button
repeat the above [procedure B] until u get what u want
if u don't get anything from above steps then retry procedure A with a different keyword.
i hope I have technically enlightened you with the magical powers of search engine!!!
Good luck :D

Hello Everybody,
This is my story,
1 - Came to US on B2 (visit visa) in October, 1999. My legal stay way valid till April, 2000
2- Found an employer and in March, 2000 filed for H1B/extension of stay. Lawyer at the time told me that since we filed H1 i don't need to file any other extension of stay
3- August, 2000 received approval notice of my H1 but approval notice mentioned start date of October, 2000 rather than March, 2000 as requested in the petition and approval notice did not have the I-94 card attached with it meaning they did not change my status. Appealed the decision and got some feedback from USCIS that they will look into this. Started working for the company in October, 2000. In January, 2001 Company received another notification from USCIS but I was never provided the copy so not sure what was the decision and was told all is fine but never provided the final approval notice. When i checked case status back in January 2001 it said case approved and approval notice sent. However when I check online case status now I see following,
Application Type: I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER
Current Status: Cable sent to American Consulate or port of entry notifying them of approval.
On September 7, 2001, the appropriate American Consulate or port of entry was notified of the approval of this case. Please contact them directly if you need more information.
4 - In 2002 transferred my H1 to new company and got the approval with new I-94 card without any issues.
5- In 2004 transferred my H1 to another company without any issues and I�m with that company since then. They filed my labor, I-140 which has been approved and now ready to file I-485. Lawyer of this company wants to attach the approval notice of my first H1 from 2000 with I-94 card attached to it showing proof of my change of status which i don't have. I have approval notice without I-94 card from 2000.
6- I also left the country in 2006 and went to Canada for two weeks and then came back in the same month without any issues.
Current lawyer is fling I-485 without my first approval notice from 2000. Do you think this would cause issues or generate RFE for I-485? I heard that once you leave the country and re-enter legally all previous status issues if any are put to rest, I left the country in July 2006 and re-enter in the same month?
Please provide your input on my case...many thanks!!!

We (parents) had applied for family based concurrent AOS in Aug, 2008 while we were on
tourist visas. We are now in India on Advance Parole(valid till Aug. 2009) that we received
after filing AOS.
Today(Feb, 2009) production of green card has been ordered for my wife and will soon be
received in USA. My case is still pending but we expect it processed soon. Thanks for all
the help.
My questions is
(a) What documents we need to show at immigration on returning to USA?. We have I-485
Notice, Advance Parole and valid Passports.
(b) Do we need to request somone in USA to mail our green cards on receipt.?
(c) How much maximum time we still can stay in India.? We wish to stay here for another 1-2
months. In any case making travel arrangements etc. is likely to take atleast 2 weeks.
(d) But is there a time limit for returning?
(e) Can we safely enter 2-3 months after the cards are received in USA, and
(f) sending GC by mail is not objectionable?
Also, in totality, Which one of these scenarios is correct:
1) Do we have to return immediately on approval of green card, enter with advance parole
only and it is not legal to mail green cards?
OR
2) It means if we can get our cards mailed and receive it here, we can safely travel back
with our green cards, even after 2 months of its receipt in USA. Overstay abroad is not an
issue whether it is 2 weeks, 2 months or even more. Am I right?
We would appreciate all the help here, as these are some of the question I have looked over
many sites and forums but could not find answers to. Thanks so much!
