[....You have to file her F-1 before your H-1 expires or gets denied, also you might need to show that she will continue to be on H-4 as of the date that classes start (based on you being on valid H-1 status). If this is not possible i suggest you file a change of status to B-2 and then you can decide what needs to be done, this will give you some breathing room...]
How long it takes to convert her status from h4 to B-2? and how many days it will be valid after having a valid B-2?
to convert her B-2 status, do I need to be on B-1? or it can be anything?
Does she can able to COS from B-2 to F1 (Student)...?
~Thanks in advance

Did you get any receipt # in the mail or from your lawyer before calling them to ask for the checks to be cashed?
Because they are refusing to enter a "service request" for my case unless I provide them with a receipt # (Which I didn't get, that's the reason I am calling. This is like a closed loop. I am calling because I didn't get anything receipt yet, they tell me I cannot do anything if I don't give them a receipt #, it's funny, isn't it?). They don't accept my tracking number from USPS express mail as a proof of receipt.

Thanks to Thomachan (for highlighting why legal immigrant's children should be considered in the Dream Act) and Sanju ( for focussing on the key decision makers who can influence this). I am sure we can make atleast an attempt to get this included. :). This will help legal immigrants with children in high school and college to a large extent.

Is not weired funny dicriminatvie while 2003/2004 already gor GC while April2001 are waiting for approval.
You do not think there should be once a year declaration for clared date upto so n so not a single file is pending.
Why April2001 has to wait for 8(eight!) years

All,
I dont know what you guys think about the competing bills - Frist and Specter, but I get the feeling that the Frist bill which does not include any of the Illegal immigration amnesty provisions but does contain almost everything you would want for EB immigration better serves our purpose.
The Specter Bill with the Guest Worker Program even if it passes the Senate will not pass the hardline conservative Congress - which could mean that all our EB provisions also get scuttled. Hence, I think it is in our best interest if the Comprehensive Immigration Bill (Specter) does not see the light of the day on the 27th. I would desist from urging the Judiciary committe from trying to make the deadline.
What do you guys think

But dont you need to wait for AP approval to travel if you are in AdjustmentOfStatus Phase?
Thanks
You don't necessarily need an AP to travel if you have filed for AOS. If you have a valid H1 unexpired visa you can travel on that. You wife would need to get her H4 visa stamped to come back to US.
It is a matter of choice if you want to use AP for travel or your valid H1/H4 visa.

Does this mean I can port the PD even if I moving from a technical position to a managerial position in a different company. of course I know one has to file a new perm and I140 with the new company.
refiling perm and 140 may be to help you promote from eb3 to eb2 category and still let you keep the old PD.
Also, refiling could be required if your job categories are changing. from technical to managerial or so.

Topics at this forum range from H1B to visitor visa to citizenship to EB-based GC and sometimes even family-based GC sponsorship.
Agreed that quite a bit of discussion happens on issues related to EB. When you spend over half your waking hours at work, and EB-based immigration affects not just your status in this country, but your job, your finances, and pretty much your entire life, it is not surprising that so many posts relate to EB-based immigration.
And I haven't even mentioned the zillion forms and stages of EB-based immigration compared to others...
At the end of the day, you are welcome to post a thread on any issue you care about (relating to immigration) and like previous replies suggest, the mission of the organization is quite clear.
Hi guys,
this is my first post, so please bear with me ..How can a novice know that this forum is for EB category ? small suggestion to iv team, a small iv admin fix...
can typing immigrationvoice.org take us all to "ebimmigrationvoice.org" or eb-legal-immigrationvoice.org" ? (eg. ibnlive.com takes you to ibnlive.in.com) In that way eventually everybody will know its a eb immigration voice and no other legal immigrants forums..
Sr members, please share your views on this topic..
thanks

Currently in wetsern europe and going tomorrow to pick up my passport....am getting 2 stamps...1 for current extension that ends end of next month and then a second one for the new extension valid until '10....had to pay twice the fees since its 2 stamps.
They discussed the issue at the consulate and decided that the best way to proceed was with 2 stamps to avoid any issues at port of entry.
Reason - The stamp needs to match the dates on 797...so either get 2 stamps or get 1 stamp for the latest extension which will only be effective for travel beginning 10 days prior to date on 797.
Guess based on a previous post it varies from consulate to consulate.
Whatever you get, doesnt matter, as long as you get it and it allows you to come back when you want to.

Thanks for the effort. Obviously it is not their interest to release the data, that's why we need to figure out a way to force them to discose such data. I think it's possible to get a court order to request such data.
It takes years and months to get a request fulfilled under FOIA. In this administration, run of the mill govt agencies have been given even more latitude in fulfilling FOIA requests -- forget about the DOS and its response to FOIA requests. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear -- even other agencies within the government who don't need FOIA are unable to make this happen. Do see the magnitude of the problem?
The only way to break the logjam is through political pressure.
Again, I'd say, please don't assume the IV people who have been working on these issues are naive or lack information. ;-)

Its better to change your employer.
Even my attorney has screwed me big time in 2004. We had a discussion for over two days with my HR and the attorney and the decision was to file the labor in EB2 category otherwise I was not willing to start my GC process with the company. Then the backlog stuff happened and after 3 years I came to know that it is EB3 labor, by that time the attorney stopped representing my company and even the HR left the job.
Now my company doesn't want to start an EB2 process as they don't want to put extra money. So look for a better/similar job and make the move. As the market is improving this is the right time to take some decision.
Cheers!!!

Hi
I'm on h1 and also have an EAD
My current job is on my h1. And I have an EAD, but never used it.
Question: Can I work pat time on my EAD and still retain my h1.
Any pros and cons?
Thanks
Tejal
Dude, this is grey area, One thought is, Once EAD is used for 2nd job fulltime /parttime you lose your H1 status and there is other thought if you stay with your GC sponsoring employer and retain the full-time job you should be fine retaining your H1 status and ofcourse you can use EAD for your P/T job.
And hey this is not it there is one more thought going around, If your last entry is through H1b you still are in H1 status even after using EAD for your 2nd Job.
Fact of the matter, nobody is sure about which thought is correct.
