Hello,
Please advise me on the following !!
I am on H1B My wife is on H4 Visa and she is planning to do her further study for 2 yrs, and I have following questions in this regard.
1. How difficult it is to transfer from H4 to F1 visa, do I need help of Lawer or we can do it by our own ?
2. To transfer from H4 to F1 do I need to show 100% fee available in my account ?
3. Her course/study is of 2 years, is it sufficient if I show 1 yr fee in my account at the time of F1 transfer ?
4. If I dont have 100% fee, my parents can help me, but what document I need to get from them from India ?
Thanks

congrats..
I think, with attorney advicing you not to travel you should be able to convince the management about the need to cancel the trip for 'immigration emergency'

Our current immigration problems are a great reason to unite, to strive to achieve a worthwhile goal. Sure we're facing challenges but, in my opinion, we have a lot to be grateful for. One has only to read the aforementioned CNN article to see just how tough life can be when it chooses to be. My green card problems (only mine, not yours) certainly seem trivial compared to the lifetime of pain life has visited upon those women. Read it-say a prayer for those less fortunate souls-and then resume the struggle with renewed determination.
We will prevail.
CNN is asking us to fix our(India) country first before asking for justice in this(USA) country..............

an email reply saying " ... Based on your request we researched the status of this case. We are actively processing this case. However, we have to perform additional review on this case and this has caused a longer processing time. If you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from us within 6 months of this letter, please call customer service at the number provided below." :rolleyes:
My understanding ... bullshit! You ain't doing nothing.
I got similar letter for my SR regarding EAD. After I got this letter, my EAD was approved in 80 days. My EAD was pending for more than 270 days when my lawyer opened an SR. I got my EAD exactly after 365 days.
I am sure somebody is working on your case.

Interesting thing with this new form is the re-enactment of interim EAD. We yet to get any confirmation on that though.

Cut and paste for me by my attorney:
Some Observations from DOS on India EB-2 Unavailability
Cite as "AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 08011461 (posted Jan. 14, 2008)"
On January 10, 2007, AILA Liaison contacted Charlie Oppenheim, Chief of Immigrant Visa Control and Reporting at the State Department, to speak about the announcement of India EB-2 visa unavailability in the February 2008 Visa Bulletin. By early November, indications were that USCIS demand for India EB-2 visa numbers would place significant pressure on the overall annual limitation, leading to the decision to roll back the priority date for India EB-2 for December 2007 to 01JAN02, and for January 2008 to 01JAN00. Even with those significant retrogressions, USCIS requested almost 300 India EB-2 for December. (As an indication of the rate of demand and how close to the quarterly and annual limits usage is, the USCIS requested three India EB-2 numbers for January, all with dates prior to 01 JAN 00.) There is some possibility that India EB-2 could again become available if it appears that the demand for India EB-1 will not exceed the annual limit, but, that determination will not be able to be made until the second half of the fiscal year.
For China-mainland born EB-2, if demand remains as has been seen over the last couple of months, it is expected that the 01 JAN 03 cut-off date will hold, and it is likely that all numbers will be used within the current cut-off date.

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Case received and file gathering dust waiting for visa number.
On MM DD, YYYY, we received this application and mailed you a document describing how we process it. But you do not need to bother. Our system is so screwed up that we did not know how many cases we had pending. We did not communicate with DOL and DOS properly; so we ended up causing the July Visa Bulletin fiasco, which actually screws up your case even more if you were not one of the lucky applicants to have actually obtained your GC. But your increased fees for EAD & AP renewals have afforded us new janitors, so we will try to keep your files dust free.
P.S : If you are an advanced degree holder born in India. Hahahaha.

Yes I have been in US since 1991. Here is my story.
1991 1996 - Did Bachelors in US.
1996 -1998 - Masters
1999 - 2009 - On H1. Have been with same firm for over 10 yrs though I have had several promotions. Always kept H1 though spouse started working on EAD in Jan 2009.
Its been some wait. There have been time I felt so frustrated with this process I literally cried or felt like punching someone.
I wont really believe till I have card in my hand. Difficult to trust USCIS.
congrats dude. ur pd should be 1991 instead of 2001. You really deserve it. have fun.

Just noticed that my lawyer has attached marriage certificate of my co-worker in the dependendent's petition. I am waiting for the receipt.
What are the impacts of this mistake? To compound the issue, my wife is flying out next week for a month to India.
Gurus any answers on this is deeply appreciated.
You will gen a RFE and while sending the RFE response make sure you write a nice letter to USCIS mentioning that the law offices screwed it up.

Our fellow marchers,
The two of us, here in LA, are trying to hear as many stories as possible and get all the information to write our script. The more compelling the stories, the more powerful this documentary can be.
This is a collective voice and we are all in this together. Think of this as our chance to make this voice heard. All of us who are part of this struggle are giving our best in creating world-class software, products & services. But most of all, we are providing some of the best years of our life to this adopted homeland of ours. In return, we are living our life in a holding pattern instead of realizing our potential to the fullest.
Please do come forward and share your stories with us. People who are not in LA can still be a part of this, email us your stories. We will figure out a way to weave you in If you wish to stay anonymous, let us know and we will not mention your names, we just want to understand your life stories.
The broader our understanding of the issues that all of us are facing, the stronger the script would come out to be.
Bring your unique gift to this voice and help us make a change for all of us.

Buddy:
The way I see is that you have two options:
1) You close your shop here in USA and go back to India and take care of them there. India is booming, you will surely get a good job. But then this is based on your priorities and what u want to do.
OR
2) Find a very good old age home for them in India, where there is 24hrs support for them.. This will be cheaper for you and good for them. They will be in midst of people of their age and get all the support which you will not be able to give, as you and your wife are working.
Coming to US at this age and with such medical condition, will only become a burden for you and them. Since all they will land up doing is baby sitting your kids and maybe walk to the nearby mall. There is no way for them to interact with people of their age, which is big social need for everybody.
It is true no insurance will cover their pre-existing condition, so you will land up paying all their medical expenses. However, if u r a millionare, then bring them over here, then u will be able to take care of them......otherwise practically I see you losing all your hard earned $$'s....God forbid anybody getting sick here in US.
I just gave you some practical advise.
I hope you make the right decision, which would be good for you and your parents.

My guess is EB2 will return to current and EB3 will be retrogressed anything from 2002 to 2005. I doubt it will be any more current than that.
It's impossible to know. It depends how many applications were ready for approval by the time October hits.

Hi,
I am applying for AP Renewal for myself and my wife. Can someone please send me the information on the following.
1. AP is expiring on September 20th. Can I file even after the expiry of the AP?
2. I am in AL.So, I need to be sending the application to Texas Service Center. But I am confused on where to send the documents? I will be sending by FedEx or UPS?
3. When I prepare the documents, do I enter Part 9, Signature of person preparing the form, if other than the application?
4. Last year our attorney filed the application and I have a copy of that application. I see "Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Representative" form. I am sure I dont have to file that now but do I need to do anything so that I get the receipt/approval notices instead of going to the Attorney Office?
Thank you.
I found paper filing easier than e-file. Even with e-filing, you still need to mail your pictures.
1. You can file AP even after the first one expires. But I filed for renewal 3 months before expiry.
2. AP form has the TSC address. I used USPS.
3. If you are the applicant, what is the need to sign Part 9? It is self-explanatory.
4. There is no Notice of Appearance form if you are representing yourself and doing a self-filing.
