I would transfer to a visitor visa and then identify which university and course I want to join. Once I have all the things lined up I would hire a good attorney and file for a new F1.
Good luck.
hie,
i was on opt and my opt ended jan 24th 2009. i had applied to a masters program for spring 09. my old school ( where i did my bachelors) transfered my sevis information to my new school( where i was to start masters). however i decided to discontinue with my new school's masters program. i did not registered for classes. i told them that i would no longer want to pursue that particular masters anymore. i now want to join another institute for a short time. they require my sevis information in order to make an i20 for me. my new school( where i had applied for masters) says that they do not have an i20 for me since i cancelled my program. whichever institute i transfer to for future studies would require a copy of a current i20 from me for admissions.
now where does this situation leave me? am i out of status as of now? will i be able to transfer to any university/institute for my future studies?
Good luck.

Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer Has Just Posted the Following:
Individuals who apply for a non-immigrant visa must be admissible to enter the United States. Inadmissible grounds to deny entry into the U.S. include, but not limited to the following:
Communicable disease;
Criminal record involving crimes of moral turpitude;
Possession of or trafficking in a controlled substance;
Trafficking persons;
Involved in money laundering;
Previously removed (deported) or previously overstayed a period of admission to the U.S.
If a non-immigrant visa holder subsequently becomes inadmissible and thus ineligible to enter the United States, depending on the inadmissibility ground, the visa holder may apply in advance of travel for a temporary waiver of inadmissibility. The waiver application is applied directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) prior to travel. Along with the signed Form I-192, Application for Advance Permission to Enter as Nonimmigrant, the applicant must submit the filing fee of $545, an official police record from country of nationality, proof of citizenship, and supporting documentation regarding the inadmissibility showing rehabilitation and character reformation. For questions concerning eligibility of the temporary waiver application, or any other area of immigration, call Kraft & Associates at 214-999-9999.

Greetings everyone.
I ran into these forums few days ago and realized what I have been missing for the past few years :-). Anyway, my GC priority date is Nov 2005 under EB2 (India). I am very GC-illiterate in the sense that after actively tracking and monitoring it for a year or so after filing for labor, I kind of gave up on the fact that I was going to get GC anytime soon and moved on. Except for replying to lawyer's emails whenever I get them, I didn't really monitor anything else. Anyway, here is some additional information -
1) I applied along with everyone else in July 2007 for I-485 and got my EAD.
2) I went for VISA stamping in Hyderabad in Nov 2009 and got 221(g) (I had all the documents but you know how 221(g)s were given out at Hyd like M&Ms at that time) and upon lawyer's recommendation entered the country through AP.
3) A part of my company was recently acquired by a different very large MNC and I chose to remain in the other half which wasn't acquired and we chose to do business as (DBA) as a different company. Lawyer said she took care of it on the GC app - I am guessing she filed for AC-21.
4) I currently applied for a EAD (current one expires in couple of months) and AP.
Long story short, my app status currently shows, "post-decision activity" -->Does it mean they already took the decision? Is there a chance something could go wrong in the next few weeks? I called the lawyer's office yesterday and they said I should hear from them in the first week of August and if the app status doesn't change, they will open a SR on my behalf around Aug 10th...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!

Hi guys,
I understand that after getting your 45day letter your case will be in the BEC database and will be processed in order.
Now I just saw people on this forum with PD Aug 2003 got approved 10/17.
and I know a friend with pd oct 2003 got approved in April.
Suppose that the guy got approved 10/17 was input to the system after the other luckier guy, the most conservative estimation is now pd Aug 2003 is being processed.
Anybody heard of any later PD being approved recently? from DBEC?
I'm just thinking, if we share the pd/approval information on this forum we'll have better estimates about our cases and have a somewhat less stressful life.
Thanks.

I need to travel to UK for 2-3 days next week.
Am I eligible to get the Visa stamping done in London?
It is very unikely that the US consulate in London will accept your visa application unless you have close ties to the UK. You will probably need to apply in India, or consider Canada or Mexico.

Dear Fellow Posters
After 12 months of toil I have finally completed the narrative and evidence that I need for an EB-1a (Extraordinary Alien) application. I ab about to complete the I-140 paperwork to go with it.
My questions is this - I have contacted a small number of Immigration attorneys who have quoted me approx $6000 for the whole process. How many of you value think that USCIS would look at my application more favourably if I used a reputed attorney rathen than putting in my own application and paperwork ?
Thanks in anticpation of your replies

I am on L2 since my husband is on L1. I work full time for a US employer with an EAD. Now, what would happen to my status if my husband quits his job?
What is going to be his new status? If it is not L1, then your L2 status is gone as well.

Are you kidding me - why are there no stop gap measures/short term fixes asked for all the high skilled folks stuck in retrogression for the very reasons outlined in this letter. This is politics at its best -
I think that's what they mean with "bringing the supply of employment based green cards in line with the need of US employers".

I'm sorry to hear about your mom's situation.
Obtaining the green card doesn't mean your mom has to come here immediately. She can attend the interview and choose to come at a later point. I'm not too familiar with the appointment process/wait times etc but it seems like a lot of hassle to have to reapply.
Is postponement of the interview a choice?
I dont know how long ago you obtained your green card or citizenship but these days it's a loooooooooooooooooooooong wait for the elusive GC. So grab your chance when it comes.
That was my two cents.

AFAIK, EB1-B requirement includes at least a tenure-track position with the sponsoring University, whereas from your current job title I would guess yours is a contractual (no-tenure-track) position. You may instead take a shot at EB1-A (exceptional ability), which, like EB2-NIW, does not require a tenure-track job. Also, from your stated qualifications, you have a reasonable chance of getting approved, more so if a competent attorney handles your case. (I should add, these days USCIS seems to have raised the bar of EB1-A approval relative to EB2-NIW, so hiring a good attorney is important.)

Hi All,
I have a strange issue, paining me since I have joined this new company, ( I am using AC21, since I am on EAD and AC21 is not yet filed). I am one of those unlucky fellows with really long name(First Name) stuck on my passport, and I have been using this all along, as my legal name while applying for visa/485 related activities. However, I go by the last part of the First Name and so all my other records here (like DL, SSN card, Bank Accounts, 401K account, etc) have got the last part of the First Name as my first name.My H1-B visa had the complete first name printed on it, and so I have been thinking, people could see that the name I have been using is in the last part of the complete First Name on the Visa and Passport.
However, in the EAD card, the name got cut(or incomplete) as the entire first name could not be printed on it. When I showed this to the new employer, they are using the name as displayed on the EAD card(which is not what I go by) in all the accounts they are establishing, like Paycheck, 401K info, ESPP etc.
Now I am in a soup, I have requested them to use the last part of the first name, which they are chcking with their immigration lawyers. But in the meanwhile, I want to know, does any one has this kind of problem. What should we do if the name is incomplete on the printed EAD card? (Ofcourse once I get GC, I would rather change this damn name)
Any one has any ideas?
Thanks
:mad:

Hi all,
I submitted an application via premium processing for EB-1a with USCIS at the Texas Premium Processing Centre last month (April 2007).
I received an RFE notification via letter after two weeks listing the requirement of further evidence against 3 out of the 8 criteria I submitted.
I can submit further evidence - but my question is this ... "Why have they not made mention of the other 5 criteria I submitted" ? Has this failed ? Do they not matter ?. I am quite concerned because they have not made any mention of my other criteria ? Does anyone have any advice.
Thanks in advance.
There is a complete black box on the other side and you should be prepared for all 8 in case a query comes. good luck!

I have received all the receipt notices for I-485/AP/EAD for myself/wife.
Situation is this:
My current H1B expires on the 30th of September 2007 and I have applied for 3 year extension under premium processing last week.
If for whatever reason my H1B extension is denied then what are my options? First off, would it invalidate my I-485 application as it is employment based.
I believe if the answer to above is no, then I can just use my EAD and continue working.
Thank you for your time.
