Hello!
I was trying to use the Free Conference Call service to ask a question to the lawyer but was informed that the access code 388991 is incorrect. Has it been changed? If so, can someone provide the new code.

Thank you very much for providing this invaluable service to the entire community.

Please refer to the thread running on the home page for the current conference access code. For this week, check http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/2098838-free-attrny-call-apr-14th-ari-and-greg-frm-visalaw.html

My company is downsizing for sometime now...and I can be next.

In that case can I move to EAD in the given situation ( as above) ?

Of course you can move on EAD provided EAD is current.

Thank you both for your replies.

I understand that we may not be eligible for an EB1 but would we still be able to apply for an EB2 without leaving the country?

Capriol,

Thanks and I think I got lucky. But does it mean that spouse case is not linked to my case?

is there nobody with info/experience on this????

I know someone who did not pay the bill but returned to US without any questions

disclaimer: may vary from case to case

My parents visited here in US last year. Unfortunately my mother got high fever and admitted in hospital giving me bill of 30000$.

Insurance company denied my claims as pre existing condition. I tried several ways to convince insurance company but all in vain.

I negotiated with hospital to pay 15000 and paid off hospital bill.

I also got a doctor bill later and that went to collections. I didnt pay doctor bill (500 dollars) till today.

Does this 500 dollar collection notice will effect my mothers next visit?
If I pay now does it matter anyway?
Is there any chance of deportation?

Please advice...

I filled the renewal with the same employer as well. The documentation requested at the counsalate depends upon the officer. He/She may or may not ask for any documents.

Hi All,

Are there any risks of filing 140 & 485 together? I just talked to an attorney & she said that it is better to get 140 approved 1st before filing 485, as when you file concurrent, the files go to inexperienced officers who will not judge your case properly.

When you file 140 separately, the file goes to officers who only deal with 140's.

Does anybody on here know of these risks/disadvantages of filing concurrently. I was under the impression that it was better to do this, but now I stand contradicted!

its back to the same question: IS MBA worth the time and money!

facing stagnation ..in our eternal wait for GC...what are the risks of not pursuing an MBA in you want to further or change ur career later on!

its not all bad to pursue PT..provided u make the right concentration choice!

There are success and failues in Pt programs! My friend got his MBA (PT) from UIC ..nowhere in any list..;-)...and landed a job as a director of IT for a consulting firm...his benefits and all tops 180K..now..its up to you to figure out how big a paycheck makes you a happy man.;-)

There will always be the traditionalists who believe Old school MBA is the best!..but..how many desis have the luxury of stopping work and going FT.

both arguments are valid....but to succeed in PT..go by ur gut ..

duniya ..hope par chalithi hai.;)

my 2 cents!

What did your attorney say?

No problem using AP through germany. I travelled in Jan 2009. No issue whatsoever. No one bothered to check any document.

They want to see you...They want to hear it from you..
So become a verified member today, and help us in making it LOUD and CLEAR, that YES, there are thousands in your constituency who are suffering. And will no longer be silent.

Texcan,

Thank you.

Just got off the phone with customer service rep. I called them to know the status of my service request that was created 45 days ago. After some wait, one lady picked up my call. I asked her to check the status of my service request. She tried for 10 mins to pull up that info but she couldn't pull up because of some technical issues. She escalated my call to another level.

One rep picked up my call.He seems to be nice and answered my questions. He said my case is under review as of 8/21/2008. When I asked him to see whether my name check is cleared or not, he said it is still pending as of now. FBI name check was initiated on Sep 18, 2007 and it should expire on Nov 30, 2008. Before that they should get a response for name check.

We gave our finger prints on Nov 2, 2007. How come name check was initiated on Sep 18, 2007? I am not sure whether i can believe his words?

I have a soft LUD on 8/21/2008. According to CSR words, i can assume that case was assigned to an officer. But i am not sure about the name check process.

Is any one got the similar response?
Please share your thoughts on this

Thanks,
palemguy

that got me back my rights to Post messages. thanks Kannan

Me sitting in Queens right now at home - waiting for wife to come back from her night duty at the hospital

I will be heading straight to work in New Jersey, later today afternoon, I will wrap up and few more dedicated volunteers will be joining me and we are car pooling to DC by late afternoon.

Will definitely try to make it to the reception

Come on dear folks - lets all make it to DC.

This is new to me. Can you please indicate the site address of this memo?
Thanks

It's lawyer Matthew Oh (www.immigration-law.com)'s interpretation of the revised visa bulletin.

A quick question:
I just have the FRONT side copy of the EAD stored.
Why do we need the BACK side of the copy?

Responses will be appreciated.

if say 50% of people in EB-2 quota do possess Master degree, do you think after STEM - the pressure on EB-2 visas will drastically reduced such that EB-2 will be current for all the countries??


all this calculation are possible, only if per country quota is eliminated.

logic,

I checked with my immigration attorney about this situation anticipating job change few days ago. According to him one can enter as long as s/he can show new H1B approval notice provided the old H1B visa is still valid (not expired).

As always, we can express our own interpretation, and its always a good idea to contact an immigration attorney to get specific answers.
