Question:
H1B: 4th year running
GC process: 140 filed, waiting for priority date to become current and then apply for I-485
Priority date is Oct 2007, so not expected to be current this year.
Can I apply for F1 starting next year? This is for an MBA course.
What are the risks involved?
Thanks.

Admins, didn't you consider closing this when you closed the other one talked crap about AP? And also drown Blog Feeds in red ;-)

This is not really a revelation as visa fraud has been a problem for decades at US consulates around the world. But it reminds us that there are bad actors out there and US consular officials have a tough job in trying to make sure that deserving applicants get visas while they ferret out the fraudsters. The $500 anti-fraud fee that accompanies every H-1B petition is supposed to help provide the funding to properly investigate and root out fraud. It sounds like the system is working.

The U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration Office of Foreign Labor Certification, issued a Frequently Asked Questions on Permanent Labor Certifications, titled Round 12.
In that update they answer the employer point of contact questions that is often asked by employers. The answer is that the employer must designate as its point of contact an employee of the employer who is authorized to act on its behalf in labor certification matters pertaining to the specific job opportunity for which certification is sought.
The designated employee may not be the sponsored foreign worker. The employer point of contact will be contacted by the National Processing Center to verify whether the employer is authorizing the filing of the application and sponsoring the foreign worker named therein.
Therefore, an authorized employee�s name and contact information must be listed in Section D of the employer�s submitted ETA Form 9089. It is not acceptable, for example, to reenter the employer�s name listed in Section C of the ETA Form 9089 or provide a generic title such as �HR Manager.�
Moreover, as indicated on the ETA Form 9089 and accompanying instructions, such a person�s name and/or contact information, e.g., the phone number and email address, must be different from the attorney or agent name and/or contact information listed in Section E of the ETA Form 9089, unless the attorney or agent is an employee of the employer. This has been a subject of a few audits in recent years.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH ANSWERS ON ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS, APPROVED I360 VAWA AND INTERVIEW?
I just received an approved i360 vawa petition from VSC dated January 26, 2011. The petition was approved on December 20, 2010 and I have a pending I485, filed on January 2010 and I asked the local office during my interview to hold on to it till my VAWA I360 is approved. Now, my VAWA I360 has been approved, I would immensely appreciate your kind help if someone can help me with the following questions.
1. How long does it take for an approved VAWA I360 to get notified to National Benefit Center to link my pending I485 to my approved I360?
2. Has anyone ever experienced this situation and how long did it take before securing interview notice?
3. Do I need to contact the local office since I suspect my pending I485 should be at the NBC or do you think its been transferred to local office.
4. My work permit EAD is expiring on March 9th this year and I would like to renew it since I still have a pending I485 since April last year and approved I360 this year. Do you think I have to renew my EAD since I'm hoping to secure my green card soon rather than paying another $380 this week for my work permit renewal?
If you need additional information, do let me know.
I have read couple of things online but I would really appreciate if someone can help me out. Many thanks as look forward to hearing from you guys.

Greetings all,
I am new to Immigration voice and feel very blessed for finding the site.
Here is my situation I am a green card holder since 1996. However I waited until now because I had I received probation before judgment in 2003. The case was expunged in 2007. The conviction was Annotated Code of Maryland article 27 , section 146 (c )(1 ) stipulating that : Any person who violates any provision of subsection (c)(1) of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction is subject to a fine not exceeding $1,000 or imprisonment not exceeding 3 years or both.
According to the information I found on USCIS, you can not have any conviction in the five years preceding your application; It looks like I should be fine. I am ready to apply now and it has been a good obedient green card holder for 6 years now, I don't have any issue with the law since 2003.
I am also married to a US citizen and have three children (all citizens). I was able to get all my information from the court prior to the expungement as well.
Please let me know what you think. Thanks you so much.

Dilemma
10-22 05:42 PM
Hello -
I am in sort of big dilemma. My Background:
- Single (not married)
- Currently on H1-B valid until Dec 2011.
- PD July 2007. Company A
- I140 & AOS filed concurrently in Aug 2007. Approved I140 (June 2008) & AOS pending. EAD & AP since Dec 2007.
I am currently working (full-time) for company A who started my GC process since last 3+ yrs. And lately I am realizing that my growth opportunity in terms of salary (more importantly) & career is very limited & been looking out lately. To an extent that I feel so frustrated that it has started to affect my social behavior.
Recently, couple of other employers have shown interest in me which align completely with my future goals. But, the problem is the following:
- they dont do H1-B & willing to hire me on EAD. Hopefully, AC21 should not be a problem as the prospective job will be in the same area.
- I am currently single planning to get married in a year or so. I want my spouse to have an option to be my dependent ie H4.
So, I have following questions to experts here which will help me decide what option to take:
1) Shall I go ahead with new employer & start using EAD ?
2) My GC doesn't seem to get approved for another year or so. Is it worthwhile to keep the option of my spouse being on H4 open & get myself frustrated & spoil my career in current company?
3) Can I move to EAD -> H1-B later? Maybe once I move out of this company A & join company B on EAD either company B or some other company may be ready to file H1-B petition ? This is just to open up the option of my spouse get H4.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance...

Yes, you can port your EB3 priority date to EB2, even if the sponsor is not the same.
There are many threads on the topic; you may want to read them for a quick understanding...
Hi All,
I would like to know if porting an EB3 Labor & 140 to EB2 with the priority date is possible?
I am currently on h1b, I am planning to join a new company and I qualify for EB2 category.
Is it possible to port priority date of my EB3 to EB2?? with my new employer?
Thanks.

I called Board Protection Dept they said follow the latest date. which is Dec 05, 2009. anyone confirm?
You are paroled into US until Dec 05, 2009. But if you want to travel outside US after July 29, you better apply for AP now.

You could have asked for the old I-140 priority date to be tranferred to the new I-140 at the time of filing the I-140. Now that the I-140 is already approved, it will be difficult to get them to make any changes on an approved I-140. Interfiling of new I-140 with old I-485 is possible once the visa number becomes available. The problem is that USCIS does not always acknowledge that they have done this, therefore you might be unsure if this was done or not. Some people prefer to file a new I-485 for this reason.

Quick survey to findout how many people like the idea of having their passports restamped here in USA and avoid all the surprises and shocks. This doesn't need any legal fixes. It is a convenient measure for everyone. Besides it was an old practice that was stopped for "security" reasons or some crapp. It is a small step but helps with any cases like family emergency or some urgent business need to travel abroad.
Based on the poll results and suggestions, we can comeup with a strategy to address the issue.

your wife's application should be tied to your PD. If you got it in EB1, then she too should be in EB1. The pearson memo will help. Get an infopass and clarify the issue.
