It is really tough to get EB2 without work experience. Requiring a foreign langauge usually does not qualify for EB2 category automatically.

I guess I wasn't shocked when I saw this story, but I have to say it depressed me. The AP reports that Derby Line, Vermont and Stanstead, Quebec, really one town that happens to straddle a border, is now installing security gates to physically separate the community.

Nothing wrong with gates and fences. It's security measure, ... I am all for it and fine. Unlike Quebec, atleast in my America, outsiders are not frowned upon. Nor denied help just becaue you cannot speak their language (French). Take away from my last trip to Quebec (Quebec City) is, they don't like to see us in their part of world, nor do we welcome them.

Is it possible to extend H4 status after using EAD for a person whose I-485 pending in derivative status.
I read Cronin Memo reg. dual intent "Revision of March 14, 2000 Dual Intent Memorandum"
It seems to discuss reg. using AP to enter the country and maintaining H status.
Not sure if anyone here has done the extension of H4 after using EAD.
Cronin memo:
Cronin Memo (5-16-00) | Carl Shusterman (http://shusterman.com/h1blvisasmemoworkingadvanceparole.html)
Appreciate any comments reg. this,
There's no 100% clear law/rule on that situation and it's somewhat up to the consulate to decide. In theory, she should have no problem getting an H-4 visa at all. However, that's based on a USCIS position saying that your underlying H-1B work authorization remains valid, even after you travel using a Parole. You're correct, though, that there's always been a logical problem with that CIS position, since your status is technically Parolee. Since the consulates are run by the USDOS, they are allowed to take their own position on that problem, so there's always at least some risk of them causing problems with an H-4 visa application. so it is better to file an H1B amendment and go for H4 stamping.

Hi guys,
Some of may think "Wait for the actual letter to come" but I feel too nervous and just want to share my thoughts. I applied for EB5 and my I526 was approved. Then I applied adjustment of status and got an I485 RFE. Have not got the letter yet but got the email that my case is on hold right now. Can you tell me about the RFE? Is that common? Is that the first step of denial? I'm so nervous right now. I will write what they are asking when I got the letter which I'm expecting on Tuesday or Wednesday. Thank you very much.
These days people are figiting wrong ful denials through MTRs. RFEs are common and one does not have to worry about RFE. Just wait for your letter and respond accordingly. There is no "first step" for denial - if your case is approvable it gets approved - if not it gets denied - period.

Hi California members,
There is an IV action item to fight recent practice of USCIS in denying I485 applications in some AC21 cases. For more info, please visit:

It’s a serious issue which can affect many of us, please act now and send letters (letter formats and everything else is ready in the thread quoted above). It will only take a few minutes of your time.
State chapter leader,
Please try to bring attention of your state members to this IV core approved effort.
Thank you.

My personal experience. If money is not an issue and you want your GC process to ride on smooth sail. Hire your own immigration attorney and pay them yourself this way they present your interests not the companies. Ask the company to pay the USCIS fees. Company attorney will always put companies interests before yours.
My two cent.
I'm working with an MNC and I'm abt to start my GC processing.I did go through the forum on threads on Fragomen.My employer's preferred attorney is Fragomen.
How good are they ?Else if not is there any other way I could avoid getting the GC processed by them?

Hi,
I anticipate an inevitable situation arising out regarding my parents' health, that would require us to move back to India sometime in 2007. My EB2 NIW PD is Dec 2004. Does somebody out there with knowledge about issues and procedures connected with transferring from AOS application to Consular processing in India?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am (L1 B) in US since April 2008 with my wife (L2). Our I-94 and VISA expired on Oct 08. Before expiration my company applied for the extension of L1 (I-129). The status changed to "Request for RFE" on Feb 09. Got the RFE with 11 questions yesterday. The questions asked were more about my specialty, my company and the clients contract, other fellow aliens from my company working for the client's status and profiles. So now not sure what my company will do with the RFE.
My questions are -
1. If my company withdraws the L1 Extension petition, then how many more days I will be able to stay in US legally.
2. My wife is currently 22+ weeks pregnant, will US Govt consider anything for her medical situation?
3. Whats the possibility that VSC will accept the extension if we send the answers to the RFE?
4. If the petition is denied, then how many more days I will be able to stay legally?
I would appreciate if anybody can answer my questions.
Thanks in advance.
Saurav

I am a july 07 filer with EB2 PD Oct 2005. I switched employers in early part of this year. My employer has been very erratic and not paying me salary for past 2 months because his money is not cleared from his client. I have found another contract but my employer wants to wait until his money is cleared before he can pay me and that can take longer than 6 months !!! (if his money is not cleared before)
Under such circumstances I am jeopardising everything. I was wondering if I start working for my own company on a W2 with a same job profile same salary structure will USCIS consider this as something fraudulent or do they allow self employment under AC21 ? After I have my GC I plan to continue working for my own company. In that case what do I need to do from my side to make this happen ? I started my company in August 2008.

Hello experts,
Here is a situation of my friend .
1.He lost his and his wife's passport alongwith the receipt notices and FP notice.The current visa which has expired and I-94 is also lost.
2.The lost passport includes the old passport with old visa in it.
Can you please throw some light as to what are his options.
Thanks & Regards
Did he filed a police complaint? If not, ask him to file a police complaint and then apply for a duplicate passport with a copy of old passport along with the copy of police complaint.
After getting the duplicate passport, (if he goes to his respective embassy, I think he may be able to get the duplicate in a day) ask him to call USCIS and talk to immigration officer. He also may need to contact his attorney who will provide a plan to obtain duplicate copies.
Thanks

Hi,
I had applied for my H1 extension in June 2008 and waited for some time and then upgraded it to premium processing in July. I did not get any result on my H1 extension but in the meantime my GC was approved in August. My question is will i be able to get my H1 processing fee back, at least the premium processing fee. I heard if your H1 processing doesn't get any result in certain time you will be entitled to get your money back.
Thanks in advance
If you have not received any RFE or NOID or DENIAL or APPROVAL with in 15 calendar day of your PP upgrade then you are entitled to receive the PP fee by USCIS policy. One catch though, not sure whether it will be applicable if your GC was approved with in 15 calendar days of PP upgrade - just throwing one exception. You will never know what is in fine printing :)

As the title suggest, it is meant for folks who have invoked AC21 (1-140 approved, I-485 filed & pending more than 6 months, job desc almost similar) successfully and unsuccessfully.
If you have successfully transferred, can you comment on the experience, any denial notices that you had to overcome? Have you got the green card finally?
If unsuccessful, what issues are you facing? Is there some work around or going back to desh is the only option?
Thoughts/Comments--from AC21 league members.

Sorry to hear that dude.
Name Check as such is a nightmare(I'm stuck there) but to go thru it for more than 2 years and then redoing it is ATROCIOUS!
Please write a letter to the First Lady.
Also Please write to the USCIS director Emilio Gonzalez and also to your senators.
PM me if u need any info.
