I got my GC but my wife's application (based on my 485) is still pending. I think at this point I can switch jobs/go to school full time and it won't affect my spouse's case. Just want to double check on this, any thoughts??

Hi - i am converting my L1 to F1 which will cover me for 2.5 years. In the field i am working in, there is a high probability i will be able to find work before the degree is finished. Is it usual for big employers to already have H1 visas to sponser you on, or do they have to start from scratch. Im really trying to find out how easy it would be for a prospective employer to hire me after. (yes i am aware that one is supposed to return back to their country of origin)

The H-2B program is critically important for many businesses that have difficulty finding U.S. workers to fill temporary jobs. This is particularly true in seasonal industries. Comments from H-2B employers attest to the need for foreign workers in physically demanding seasonal jobs, often in remote locations, that many U.S. workers will not take.
The H-2B nonimmigrant visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137785.html) program permits employers to hire foreign workers to come to the U.S. and perform temporary nonagricultural work, which may be one-time, seasonal, peak load or intermittent and there are no qualified and willing U.S. workers available for the job. Note that this visa is not available for "temporary" agencies or other work placement agencies.
In order to learn more about employers� perceptions of the H-2B program, ImmigrationWorks USA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce conducted a survey: five short questions distributed among H-2B employers in July and August 2010. The survey asked how many H-2B workers the company had hired in the last three years and what types of jobs those workers held. It included two open-ended questions about the benefits of using the program and asked what if any problems employers had experienced.
Another open-ended question asked what employers would do if they were not able to hire H-2B workers. Participation was voluntary, and results could be submitted via email, fax or the internet. A total of 367 employers responded. The majority of H-2B employers who responded to the survey noted that temporary foreign workers are reliable and hard-working. Many also praised these workers� productivity: a benefit that offsets the cost of bringing them into the United States. Respondents appreciated that H-2B workers were willing to work seasonal jobs and then return home when the season ended.
Important benefit of the program is that it offers companies a way to hire foreign workers when U.S. labor markets tighten. The program increases labor market flexibility by allowing businesses to bring in foreign workers when U.S. workers move up to better, higher-paying jobs during economic expansions.

My 6 years of H1B expires next month (April 2009). My PERM labor was applied in Feb 2008 and got approved last week. My question is, can I apply for 7th year H1B extension based on the approved PERM (since it was filed more than 365 days ago)? Attorney says there is not enough time to file I-140 and get it approved (even with Premium processing) before my H1 runs out next month.
From my research online there are two options to extend H1 beyond 6 years:
- PERM pending for more than 365 days, or
- I140 approved
What about the scenario where PERM is filed more than 365 days ago and approved, but no I-140 yet?
Gurus I'd really appreciate your inputs here!!
You are good to extend your H1B for 1 year.
You are eligible for premium I-140. If you have given exact date on your H1B expiry then I would have answered whether you can get I-140 approved before applying for H1B.
The benefit of applying H1B extension with I-140 approval is that you can get 3 years.
Now you can still get your H1B extended for 1 year. No second thought on that, don't worry too much on that. The PERM need not be pending for 365 days, it can be approved. The rule is you should have applied for PERM 365 days before asking for H1B extension, which is true in your case.
Good luck.

Basically, I think your labor can be re-appealed but it is a waste of time. It's better to work with your lawyer and get the job duties tick and tied with the paper filing. Nowadays there are lots of audit in the PERM system.

Can anyone please share info on conversion of EB3 to EB2 after applying for 485 ?. Our lawyer now suggests that they cant apply for EB2 and they have to revoke EB3 application.. Is this applicable to even apply for EB2 labor and subsequent I140. I thought we need to revoke 485 only when we are about to apply for new 485. Also, please let me know if we can apply for EB2 when you are in EAD status and has not invoked AC21. Sorry, if this question was already answered in the forum.
you can start a new LC in EB2 anytime, irrespective of whether you are in EAD, h1, AC21, in the country, outside the country, travelling in space. No restrictions...
The only risk with what you are trying to do is if you try to file EB2 for the same position for which you had earlier filed in EB3 (ie. job duties and position are the same) you can get queries from USCIS about it. Make sure this position (or job duties) are different. Search the mesage boards, this topic has been discussed earlier

Hi! I hope this is the right place to post this. If not, can you please tell me where it should be posted?
We are caught in a terrible comedy of errors, but unfortunately it is not funny all.
My husband is from Turkey, and was/is here on an F-1 visa. To make a long story short, we filed our I-485 & I-130 applications shortly after we were married. Months after this, deportation proceedings were (wrongfully) initiated against my husband.
While we were waiting for our court date to have the deportation proceedings terminated, USCIS at the NBC denied my husband's I-485 for the sole reason that there were deportation proceedings against him.
The deportation proceedings were terminated with a note on the paperwork from the judge that the charges were wrongfully initiated. The judge asked the Federal attorney to ask CIS to help us in NY, but NY office advised they can't do anything since this decision was made in Missouri.
At this point, my husband has not been able to work (work document denied also, of course), the government has cost us $1,000s of $$ in attorneys, and we do not have money to pay them their almost $1,000 to start the I-485 process over again. We need our original case reopened and approved.
Oh, and before deportation proceedings were terminated, but after the I-485 was denied, we passed a Stokes Interview which was requested through my I-130 due to the deportation proceedings. My I-130 has been approved.
We have filed an I-230-B for appeal, but without the fee. So we have no receipt letter nor case #. We have been told by our lawyer that we need to get the help our our U.S. Representative, Anthony Wiener. However, a friend of mine, who helps immigrants in another state, told me we need to work through our senator, Chuck Schumer's office.
Is there any advice on working through a representative's or a senator's office to re-open/ investigate a case.... which is more effective, faster, etc?
Is there anything else we can do on our own or have our attorney do?
Right now, I'm fed up with our lawyer, and do not feel we are getting enough information from him, or perhaps he is not qualified to answer my questions; so I am seeking other advice.
Any advice is welcome.
Thank you!!
Smile and have a wonderful day!

I checked with my attorney, she there is possiblity of it getting approved but there is risk also.
In progressive experience I meet even the experience criteria if I include all my work experience prior to me passing the degree. could this work experience be used.

How can they ask W2 for all years. Nobody keep W2 for more than 3 years. That what they recomments usually. They used to askf or only 3 years of W2. I never heard anything like this. If they start asking for all W2s, then 90% won't get green cards. They are making life miserable for grene card aspirants

This means if you filed 485 on July 2nd you should get a reject letter in the next 25 days unless they retrogress on this as well.
Where did you get "25" days from? Also, wouldn't it depend whether you sent it to NSC or TSC?
Thanks,
Jayant

No you cannot . You can only teach Math at this time.
Is ESL offer from the same school that sponsored you for math H1?
If it is, then ask your lawyer if the school can do some paperwork so that ESL can be added to your approved H1 .

Hi,
I initially got my H1 B approved under the quota for 2006 but later on moved on to work for a non profit organization on H1B. Now I am offered a job at a for profit company A, can I just transfer my non profit H1B to a for profit H1B(since I have already been counted under the H1-B visa quota for 2006) or I have to again go through the new H1 B visa quota for 2008-2009.
Thanks in advance for your guidance.

You can always file under EB2 once your I-140 in EB3 is approved. Even thats what I did. I had masters with 5yr exp before joining in this company but some how attorney filed under EB3 which I noticed when I was filing for I-140 under EB3. So we waited till my I-140 gets approved and refiled again after filed for I-485. Now my labot got approved under EB2 and filed for I-140. Hope this helps.
I have one question though which I have already posted but didn't see any response. It would be nice if someone can clarify my doubt..
I have one question with regards to changing employer. My I-140 was approved long ago (in 2005) under EB3 and was filed for AOS during July 2007. But now we re-filed labor under EB2 got approved and refiled I-140 under EB2 category. I-140 under EB2 has been filed recently so I am assuming it will take months to get it approved. Now I am thinking of switching to new employer so what are my chances to move to new employer. Sorry am not sure if this message is already posted or not.

Just a quick update, the company B confirmed that they are going to provide me EVL mentioning me as FT. I gave them the below format which I got from the forum and they are ok with it. Now my question is do I need to invoke AC21 when I join company B, will there be any issues to my wife who is on EAD with my original petitioner A?
