India. He said EB2 which can apply to any country. And at the rate its being used I see EB2 follows fate of EB3.

Thanks for the useful information.
Recently I came back from India based AP but they stamped Mar 23 2009 on my I-94 as expired date since my AP will expire during that time. So would I need to file H1 extension to get new I-94.

Just want to share the info that i got from my immigration firm news letter
Under Section 265 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), all non-U.S. citizens who change their residential address are required to notify the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) within 10 days of the change. This applies to all adults and children (of any age) who are non-U.S. citizens, including U.S. green card holders.
A person who fails to notify the USCIS of a change of address within 10 days of the change is guilty of a misdemeanor under Section 266 of the INA. The penalty for failing to notify the government of the new address within 10 days is a fine of up to $200.00 or possible imprisonment for a period not to exceed 30 days, or both. However, the government has not enforced this section of the law that rigorously to date, and many notify the USCIS of their change of address well after the 10 day reporting period without an issue, but this could change. Since we have seen an increase in USCIS enforcement activities with respect to H-1B employers and H-1B workers, and since many H-1B employers place H-1B employees at client locations around the country for short-term assignments, it is very important that H-1B employees notify the USCIS each time they move within the 10 day reporting period.
In order to report a change of address to the USCIS you may download, complete, and mail a Form AR-11 or Form AR-11SR (Special Registrants Only) to the USCIS, or you may report your change of address, electronically, by visiting the USCIS web site (www.uscis.gov), and following the procedures provided by the USCIS

Hi vvenkat007,
My wife has done BDS from India and is currently here in the US with me trying to get into a dental school.
http://nbdeforum.com is a good website to begin with for useful info.
First to come from India, he probably needs to apply for a Masters in Public Health or some degree like that to come to the US. Then, he has to take the National Board of Dental Examinations (NBDE Part I and/or Part II depending on school requirement) and ace them. Also, TOEFL exam ofcourse.
Then, he can apply to the 25 or so schools in the US that actually allow foriegn-trained dentists to get admitted into their 2nd or 3rd year (again depending on school) of DDS classes.
PM me if you have any questions. All the best to your brother!
Hi Friends,
My brother is finishing his BDS in India this year. I am planning to bring him to US for the studies in USA. Could you please help me on what he needs to do to enter here and are there any hurdles. I am new to USA too so don't know much about the ways so trying to find out. All I heard is unlike engineering its difficult to come for medical studies to USA.
Thank you for your help and support.

A friend of mine has PhD in aeronautics from a top tier university here in US. He will be soon starting teaching in a university and planning to file his GC under EB-1.
Are there any risks in getting I-140 approved under EB-1? or just having a PhD does not automatically qualify anyone under EB-1 category.?
Since he is born in India so reluctant to file under EB-2 due to endless wait.

Hi folks,
I have a appointment at calgary, canada for my H1 extension visa stamping. Any one has experience in Calgary.
My spouse entered the US on H4, she has a MBBS degree from india and she got H1 sponsored by a reputed university to do research.
I read on the posts that first time H4 to H1 stamping might pose a issue in canada if a person does not have degrees from US or Canada.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Health care reform has been passed for good or bad only time will tell.
But suffice to say it will give 30 million Americans some kind of coverage to seek medical care meaning more physicians are needed to provide care for these folks.
IV in the past had been working on excluding non-immigrant physicians from the EB category.Now that Health care reform has been passed, has anything been included in it for physicians practicing in rural areas(immigration benefits) ? If not i think we have missed a golden opportunity.

I think in many ways its advisable to not leave the country until you actually have the approved AP in your hand.
In this case i guess the folks got a bit lucky. The officers at the POE would have to really dig deep into your case details and compare all sorts of dates to probably determine that you left US before you got your AP.
I doubt there is anything that automatically cancels or abandons your application if you travel prior to receiving the AP approval notice.
just my 2 cents.

We are very busy these days trying to beat the H1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) rush. While we fell that visas will not run out on April 1, 2010, clients are anxious to get their cases out the door. We promise to deliver.
Here are some tips that may help our last minute filers. The issue today is a degree that has not yet been awarded. In the past, the USCIS has approved H-1B petitions (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html)for aliens seeking one of the 20,000 H-1B visas available to aliens who have earned master�s or higher degrees from U.S. institutions of higher education, where the alien has completed all requirements for the degree, and hence, has �earned� the degree, but the degree has not been conferred.
There is no reason to believe that USCIS will not continue that practice, so long as there is evidence that the alien has completed all requirements from an official at the educational institution qualified to provide that information. In the past, satisfactory evidence often was in the form of a letter from an official such as a Dean, Registrar, or department head, stating that all requirements have been satisfied and that the alien is simply waiting for the ceremonial conferral of the degree.
Be wary of letters prepared by unauthorized employees at the school stating that the student has completed all requirements toward a master�s degree, when in fact there are still examinations or papers to complete. USCIS is likely to question a letter that comes from a lower-level employee of the university. Be mindful also that use of such documentation when the student has not completed the program may be considered fraud. Also, use of such a document may result in the loss of the client�s chance at a slot in the U.S. master�s graduate quota since the petition likely would be denied on the basis of ineligibility at the time of filing.
More tips in later posts, good luck filing the H1's tomorrow.

Hi All,
Is there a fee for filing a renew advance parole document for a application based on a I-485 filed after July 2007.
I know that there is no fee for I-765 renewal, but , there is a conflict for I-131 based on the following info:
1.
USCIS - Instructions for Electronically Filing Form I-131 (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=e650065d85cee010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=9059d9808bcbd010VgnVCM100000d1f1d6a1 RCRD)
If you filed Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status under the fee structure in place on or after July 30, 2007, then no fee is required to also file a request for a travel document on Form I-131 for an advance parole or refugee travel document. Those applications may not be electronically filed and must be submitted to USCIS via regular mail or courier service.
2.USCIS decides 1-131 is not eligible for fee waiver - probono.net - Asylum Law (http://www.probono.net/asylum/news/article.198509-USCIS_decides_1131_is_not_eligible_for_fee_waiver+ i-131+fee+waiver+july+2007&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us)
The USCIS revisited a response they gave in the April National Stakeholder Meeting Q & A <http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/CBO_042908.pdf> to question #7 regarding fee waivers on the I-485 application package. Their initial response indicated that a fee waiver may be applied to the I-131 (Application for Travel Document) if the I-485, I-765, and I-131 were filed concurrently after July 30, 2007 and the fee waiver application was granted on the I-485.
Upon review of the applicable law they now note that the I-131 is not actually eligible for a fee waiver at any time. The legal basis for this reasoning can be found in controlling language at 8 CFR 103.7(b) provides that "... no additional fee will be charged for a request for travel document (advance parole) or employment authorization filed by an applicant who has paid the Form I-485 application fee..."
Thanks,
Amar

:confused: But the dates having moved beyond the April 2000 deadline ( may be temporarily), why should they not move fast when the VB was current for a long time and there should not be many cases after April 2000 those were not adjudicated. So I feel if the dates don't retrogress then they should move forward faster.

Hi
I was not so so keen until this matter was resolved..BUT my GC got approved.
I am separated from spouse. But when I filed 485, I was "married" because our relationship was still unstable.
Now QUITE FRANKLY I am NOT sure what's going to happen ahead.Dont ask me why. This whole uncertainty depressed me . If I re-unite and my wife is in India and I am on GC HOW do I call her here ?
If I divorce and re-marry how do I get my new wife here.
In any case , I dont plan on getting more than 1 person so pl dont look at it from a gamers view.
Thanks for ur help

It's not my intention to encourage marital discord. Having said that there are a couple options for you:
(a) If you re-unite and reconcile with your wife, you can file a follow-to-join petition, since you were married before you got your GC. She will get her GC fairly fast and be able to enter as an immigrant.
(b) If you get divorced and get re-married, you're out of luck. You would have to file a Family based I-140 petition (F2A, I think) and it takes about 5-6 years to get something like that approved. In the meantime if you want her to come to the USA, she will have to come on a dual-intent visa such as H1B. The consulate will not give her an ordinary visa. Of course, you can claim citizenship and "upgrade" your petition.
I am not a lawyer and this not legal advice. Please consult an attorney for your specific case.

I checked the website- but most posts are for electronic filing.
Didnt see anyone posting more on Paper filing.
I checked out the awesome post by Dhundhun on E-filing/paper filing etc - he has done a great job posting good info on self filing EAD/AP.
Was just looking for responses from someone who did paper filing in recent past and also if he/she faced any issues etc.
