Hello,
I am here on a H1B visa and my wife is on a H4 Visa. She has recently been admitted to a masters program and would start going to school soon.
1. We want to get a F1 visa for her, so that she can get paid for some work in the campus. Would it be possible to get the F1 visa in Canada. Does anyone have any recent experience on getting this done ?
2. Say we not apply for a visa but only apply for a change of status and do not even go to India or anywhere else before the completion of her program. After that she would go on an OPT. If we go to India then, would it not be a problem in getting a F-1 visa, as her education would already be complete. Does it mean that she should get her visa stamped before she completes her education.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Job visas only for highly skilled, salaried foreigners: govt (http://in.news.yahoo.com/20/20101020/1416/tnl-job-visas-only-for-highly-skilled-sa.html)
Wed, Oct 20 03:12 PM
New Delhi, Oct 20 (PTI) In an attempt to prevent foreigners from getting non-technical jobs, the government has made it clear that citizens of other countries will be taken only for highly-skilled assignments in India and should draw an annual salary of over USD 25,000. In an order, the Home Ministry nullified a Labour Ministry circular which allows one per cent foreigners among the total work force in any project with a minimum of five and maximum of 20 people. "An employment visa is granted to a foreigner if the applicant is a highly skilled and/or qualified professional, who is being engaged or appointed by a company/organisation/ industry/undertaking in India on contract or employment basis," according to the Home Ministry guidelines. Besides, the ministry made it clear that employment visa shall not be granted for jobs for which qualified Indian are available and also for routine, ordinary or secretarial/ clerical jobs. "The foreign national being sponsored for an employment visa in any sector should draw a salary in excess of USD 25,000 per annum," it says. However, this condition of annual floor limit on income will not apply to ethnic cooks, language teachers (other than English), staff working for the Embassy/High Commission concerned in India. The Labour Ministry had ordered that visa applications could be cleared by the Indian missions abroad at their level if the foreign national is skilled and qualified professional, technical experts, senior executives or in managerial positions and those kinds of skills which are not available in India.

Because you remained in the US for more than a year after USCIS denied your change of status you are barred from entering the US for 10 years. However, you are entitled to apply for a waiver of this 10 year bar pursuant to �212(d)(3)(A) of the INA which, if granted, would enable you to obtain an L-2 visa and legally enter the US.
If you are not upfront about your prior overstay, you commit visa fraud. As a consequence, you will face a lifetime bar to enter the US with little or no possibility of a waiver.

PD isn't current, but just check i-485 online status, showing "Document production or Oath Ceremony" (i.e., the last cycle).
There was indeed a soft LUD in June this year. After that nothing much else. Is there sth good coming along my way?
Appreciate if anyone here can share his/her thoughts/comments.

As we move closer to an Immigration reform, even government officials agree that such major change is very necessary. Here are some remarks by Secretary Napolitano on Immigration Reform at the Center for American Progress:
Over the past year, as this Administration has pursued more effective strategies within the current laws, the picture of how exactly those laws need to be changed has become clearer than ever before. In the past ten months, we have made tough choices, and implemented significant reforms within the current legal framework�but they are not enough to create the system that we want or that we need. If we are truly going to fix a broken system, Congress will have to act.When it comes to immigration, I took an oath as Secretary of Homeland Security to secure the nation by enforcing the law and managing legal flows across the border. Let me be clear: to do this job as effectively as possible, DHS needs immigration reform.Reform legislation would provide lasting and dedicated resources at our borders, and provide some critical legal tools that we don�t currently have to combat smuggling organizations. For example, we need tougher anti-smuggling laws in dealing with the aggravated crimes smugglers commit�including assaulting law enforcement officers, endangering children, threatening relatives and abandoning people in the desert� hundreds of whom succumb to death from heat and lack of water. We also need to update current laws that don�t cover some of the new means by which criminals conduct their business. For instance, today�s smugglers and drug traffickers often move cash through �stored value� cards, which aren�t even considered monetary instruments under the current money-smuggling laws.In addition, we need improvements to the current law when it comes to interior and worksite enforcement. Dishonest businesses often ignore the civil fines for illegal employment now on the books because they�re so low. It�s also very difficult to prosecute these crimes as felonies because of the over-elaborate intent requirements built into the current statutes.

First of all congratulations to all those who got their approval in the last couple months. Now comes the big dilemma for some of us. Did anyone tried to switch their jobs, or at least, ditch their current employer? Did anyone switched their employer immediately after the green card approval? I am sailing in this boat. I want to switch my employer ASAP, but is hesitating to do so... as you know there are some obvious reasons later. What are other problems that you think other than getting tons of questions during the citizenship? Appreciate your answers. ;)
I've taken quite a few lawyer opinions on this. It is best to stay put for 6 months to a year if you want to play it safe. There's no rule set in stone regarding this. If there is a very compelling opportunity, go for it. If not, just chill a little. If your employer treated you badly because you were on the green card leash, return the favor by playing some games with such employers & enjoy the fun.

Your Priority date seems to be Dec 2005 and if i remember correctly USCIS had a memo to complete all Background Check in 6 Months so yours should have been over long time ago.
But Again I am not a expert here and could be wrong, EXPERTS please advise
Does any one know on an average how much time it will take to complete background check?
My PD is current this month and there is background check pending on my case..

Here are the answers.
Hi Everyone
I am filling out my i-485 and I had a couple of questions.
A) What is the Expires On field in Part 1 referring to (right under the I-94#)?
Is it the actual expiry of my Visa (as printed on the Visa) or the date written on my I-94?
It should be the expity date on I94 form. If the current I94 form is expired / your visa(like H) is renewed you should get I94 attached with it with expiry date.
B) In part 3 it asks which consulate the Visa was issued. I got it at the American embassy in Oslo. I assume this is what they want to know. Could anyone reassure me?
Yes, it is the consulate where you got the visa stamp with which you entered USA.
C) In part 3b I list my wife who is an American. I assume that I should leave her A# blank. Is this correct? I also kinda think I read somewhere that even though it says middle initial (also in 3b) you should actually list the entire middle name? Is there any truth to this?
I think you can leave A# blank for your wife (but plz check with your lawer / others). Also I think you should write your name same as in your passport/other docs.
Thanks a lot. Hope someone can help me.

Why is Tata giving such huge donations to schools in US that are already established?
I would think he should have given donations to schools or colleges in India that really need it. Especially in remote villages where there are no schools or proper infrastructure.

Dec. 06 expired a lettler that USCIS send to my employer but we never received the lettler, it was a wrong information for the address my boss was talking with an officer of USCIS and she reported electronically to Nebraska about this problem, we send just in case last Friday again all the documents with the I-140 we don't know what evidence they need, but the thing is that we have to wait ; we don't have a lawyer everything was fine the only problem was that we never received a letter about the I-140 because the address omit the suite number do you think that no matter what we have to find a lawyer ...or just wait... the adjusment was submit in May 2006.

I went back and forth with the school for 2 months and finally got the aid. Note : school aid authorities have no clue what EAD or 485 means. You have to show all the papers and prove that you are eligible. Are you technically a parolee as well ? If yes , then you are eligible.

I just got me H1B approval Notice and copy of I0129 petition. There is nothing wrong with approval bu I notice few things and have few concern questions to the group if some one had similar experience in the past:
1. Passport number was not correctly typed in form I-129 (however copies passport were sent along with the forms by immigration dept)
2. My Alien number does not show up in 797A approval notice as I have pending 485.
3. The I-94# on passport card does not match with the one on new approval notice.
Now My questions is :
Do I need to get this passport#(1) typo fixed now or its ok?
Is it ok not have A# updated in H1B Approval Notice? My wife's H4 have her A#.
Do I need to get my I-94# matched with the one I had in my previous notice and A/D card stapled in passport?
All this happened due to mistakes commited by our Immigration/attorney.Now she is not ready to listen and asks me to call customer service as she thinks its not her problem.
Any suggestions/experience are apreciated.
