Hi,
Congratulations on getting the F1 approved !
I am also planning to convert my wife's status from H4 to F1. I would really appreciate if you could answer some of my doubts since I am also planning to apply F1 for my wife:
- What are the precautions needed to be taken so as to avoid rejection ?
- Can you send me the sample Cover letter you used for your application. I heard that its really important in decision of the application.
- Also is it better to show the financial amount in Banks + Stocks ( would this potray as potential immigrant since money is inside USA ?). Or should I also show some property back in India so that it shows the ties back in india ?
- I will be the sponsor for my wife and since I am on H1-B , will that have a negative (-ve) impact since H1-B is for DUAL intent visa category for immigration & temp work ?
- How to show property valules in India ? An Affidavit or Original documents or how to combine all together ? does everything need to be certified by SAME lawyer or an authorized Attested official (because if yes, will an Indian Attested document suffice ?)
Thanks once again for your help , I really appreciate it... have a good day...
regards,
Sunil

My Indian passport is going to expire very soon and my visa has also expired.
I have applied for extension for 3 years.
Will I face any problems in getting new passport from Indian Embassy?
Has anybody done that before?
I am sorry if this is not right place to write about it...
thanks
you can get your passport renewed by sending it to the Indian Embassy in the US immediately. I don't know about your visa. Talk to your lawyer. But why did you let your visa expire? That I am sure you know IS ILLEGAL.

1) There are flights from Manchester, NH to Baltimore, MD for about 150$ (Flying to DC from Manchester costs an additional 100$). It is just 45 miles from Washington, DC. I have read in one of the postings that there are trains from Baltimore to DC Central. We can book hotels in DC through Priceline.
2) If we have enough people, we may be able to drive to DC (rent a bus or a minibus from Boston) But it is at least a 10 hour drive. That means we may have to take at least half the day off on Wednesday as well. We can then start back Thursday evening itself.
It makes sense to book hotels together as it will give us a better chance to prepare for the rally.
I hope more people come forward. I know this is a difficult thing to do. But it is necessary.
There are so many IV members from in and around Massachusetts and only one other has volunteered so far!

Hi all!
Wat would be the status of F1 student (OPT) mother of a US born baby after her visa expires, who is a single parent???
Well you have sufficient time for the OPT to finish, but say you are at the end of your OPT you need to find a job which does h1b so that you have a valid visa status (or) continue your education so that you have another study visa.
Say you want to go back to your home country, then make sure you have proper visa for your kid to enter your home country. Say your home country is India, then you need to file PIO Card for your kid or get a indian visa for your kid before you enter your home country, because your kid is a US Citizen and needs permit to enter in to your home country.

Did you declare your arrest record at the time of I-485 filing and did INS respond to that? What stage of I-485 filinga are you? Do you already have your AP?
As far as I know you can be denied entry IF your I-484 is denied while you are out of the country.

When I will get my GC approved, I will scan all the documents into soft copies and shred them later (except the originals).
After a long journey on several non immigrant visa's my GC finally got approved. The questions that I would like to throw out for the group to think on is regarding the period for which one has to keep all the H1/H4 approval notices and supporting documents?
In my case, I have been here for 10 years and have a 15 pound folder that has all the approval notices (I-797) and supporting documents (copies of I-129, transcripts, everything under the sun)
I would hate to have to carry this for the rest of my life.
Lawyers - Your legal opinion would provide relief to my aching shoulders :)

For me EB3 PD date doesn't mean anything because EB2 PD is current. I believed you may retain your PD if you got your I-140 approved.
do you know if you can retain your PD from your eb3 application for your new application..

Hi All,
I am here in US on a H1B and my wife is on a H4. She recently got admission to a graduate school and has to start next week. I am worried that if I get her COS for the next semester (this is a 1 year program), then woud she be eligible to get her OPT at the end of the program? She would have been on a F1 for less than a year, but would have completed the Master's program.
I tried to get more information, but what I saw was that the OPT eligiblility requirement is atleast 1 full academic year on F1. Is this correct?
Help is greatly appreciated.
I am in the similar boat, don't worry your wife can always take etc classes as electives, and complete her one year. You can always pick etc classes, and make sure you remain in legal F1 visa status.

Dont flll 1040 by yourself if you are not a tax expert.
Line 34 in 1040 is tuition and fee deduction and you have to file form 8917.
get Some software such as Turbotax or Taxcut
Are you serious? I must be a super expert on taxes because I have always done it on paper using a calculator for the last 14 years and counting. Just spend an hour reading the instructions and you're done. Have a question, call the IRS. Unlike other government agencies (cough.. USCIS cough..) the agents at the other end of the line are actually helpful and responsive.

Gurus Pls help
I was with Company A whn I got married which had my visa and I 94 till Nov 08,2006. My wife wnt to consul. and got her visa and I-94 till same date.
I came back to US alone and changed to company B in July 06 and got my I-94 till 2009. Since my wife came to USA after that she didnt get her xtension.
i forgot to file for her xtension.
I had to agn change the company C in Dec 06. Thats whn i realised her I-94 expired in Nov. I applied for her I 539. But it wasnt approved by INS.
I have decided to send her back before 180 days, because if she crosses 180 days, it can be a 3 yr ban.
She will have to go back to consulate now now for visa stamping. Will she have a problem?
Thank u
Why don't you apply your H1B in premium rather. Strictly speaking she has have gone out of status. But at the worst case, the USCIS will just approve her I-539 as non extension of status (which means she doesn't get a new I-94 with the extension and rather just gets a H4 approval and would be asked to go to the home consulate for visa stamping and reentry.) . Hence my bet would be to wait for her I-539 approval and then make the decision. But most likely her I-539 extension of status would be just approved (ie she would get a new I-94 with new extension date ) and she doesn't have to travel back to the consulate.

My friend who is currently working for a IT consulting firm has applied for H1B transfer to a direct hire position with a leading healthcare co. He is currently maintaining H1B status, working and getting paid.
He came to US originally on L1B in 2005 and applied for a L1 to H1B transfer (with change of status) which was approved in Oct 2006. The problem - he continued working for the L1B firm till Dec 06 and then joined the H1B employer. At that time, he did not know that he was supposed to start working for H1B employer right from Oct 2006 when the COS was approved. The lawyer who filed the application advised him that it was OK to continue working for the L1B firm till Dec. He has subsequently maintained H1B status at all times and has even travelled out of the country, got H1B stamped etc. without any issue.
Questions:
- Was he out of status for 2 months (Oct to Dec 2006) when he continued working for the L1 firm even after COS approval?
- Could this be a problem for the H1B transfer that has been currently applied for. Does USCIS check only whether the individual is currently maintaining H1B status, or do they go back and look for past periods also to determine status violations?
- Even if USCIS determines he had violated his status, is there any provision (like 245k) which protects him for the current H1B transfer, since the potential out of status period was only 2 months?
Thanks much!!

If you have the valid H1b stamped while your 485 is pending and got RN,FP done,you should not have any issues in POE.So are you done with your FP?? Its always safe you wait for FP and finish it and then decide your travel plans.
HTH,
I travelled after 485, got h1b stamping , came baack and recently my checks also got cashed and am looking for the Reciept Notice also.
I did not have any issues anywhere.
For FP - you just have to make sure someone is checking ur mailbox so that you will know when FP date comes, and you can postphone FP to a later date when you return

Hey Alabaman,
First of all thanks for your reply.
No I haven't filed a tax return before, because there was no need. I started studying in August 2008 and remained most of 2009 in the US.
2 points:
1. So therefore I guess I'm a nonresident for 2009 (because I wasn't a lot in the US in 2008).
But I'm a resident for 2010 (because I was in the US almost all of 2009). With 2010 I mean the tax filling I'll have to do next year.
Am I correct with this reasoning? Does the substantial presence test only count for the next year?
2. Is it correct, that they took 25% of my sign up bonus away? I was an F-1 all of 2009.
Christian

I got EAD on February 2008 with my primary GC employer. My PD is just 4 months away and I got a job offer in a big company which I cannot afford to loose.
The the job duties in my new job remain the same but I am worried to change job during this time when PDs are jumping very fast. The max I can delay the joining my new employer cannot be more than a 1 month. Please suggest the best approach...
The best approach is to go ahead and change the job. What are you worried about? File AC 21 via new company's lawyer.
