I have seen people getting FAFSA loan with pending I-485. If you are in non-immigrant visa status even H1B then you can NOT apply for FAFSA. But if you are in pending I-485 working on EAD then should be good. Better talk with school advisor for more detail.
Good luck

Hi boreal,
I had a problem with my wifes AP- they had not acted on it for 4 months I asked them to expedite it since we wanted to visit my father in law who was hospitalized for a medical condition- they did not respond to that request so I contacted my Senators office and asked if they could assist in this matter. They asked me for some medical documentation and faxed it to USCIS.. I noticed yesterday that her online status had changed to document mailed..we are still to get it but are optimistic that we should receive it soon.
In the absence of any compelling circumstances though I am not sure how it would work. but I would definitely recommend contacting your Senators office.
Thanks for this info. Would you mind sharing the fax number? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your answers.
Despite the situation sounds illegal and I agree it is - I didn't wanted to make something illegal and was just waiting for my employer to fill the papers.
I am as well what they call a skilled worker, I basically get a o1 visa to work as manager for a big company and I don't give a fuck - but yeah I get another job offer and didn't waited to have the new visa to start. You know sometimes you can take bad decisions, people can tell you things which never happen, and that's unfortunately how life is.
Last week I get another job offer, it's real and not illegal - I worked a lot to get this offer and spent so much time working hard instead to have fun.
I am currently filling a new o1 with a lawyer and plan anyway to leave the US asap. Maybe I will never have this visa and will probably be bar for 3 years but I really need to try to make everything possible.
When I get the first job offer in the US - I was working as manager in Europe, and everything was pretty fine. I accepted this job, sold and gave all the stuff I owned to come here, in the United States, to work. Today I have no apartment or place to live in my country and I know as well that when you get a non immigrant visa you are supposed to can get back to your country easily but it's like hard to keep 2 rent and 2 places.
I will be very grateful if you can give me your point of view about my case and share your experiences.
Thanks a lot
If he has canceled the visa that is not over stay. It is illigal stay which quite lesser offence then the over stay. What is your I-94 expiry date? If it is not surpassed yet you are not subjected to any bars.

There is an option in US Greencard called “Commuter Permanent Resident Card”. Refer the link below for more details
http://www.lanepowell.com/pressroom/pubs/pdfold/bc_2002_0005.pdf
This GC allows you to live in Canada/Mexico and commute to United States for work. Though you are loosing the year count towards US Citizenship with this GC, I think it’s a better option for anyone who wants to apply for citizenship in both countries.
(ie) Convert the regular Permanent resident card to “Commuter Permanent Resident Card” (Form I-90) -> Live in canada and commute to work in US for the next 3 years (Windsor-Detroit) -> get the canadian citizenship after 3 years -> convert the “Commuter Permanent Resident Card” to regular Permanent resident card (Form I-90) and settle down in US -> Get the US citizenship after 5 years.
The advantage with this approach is that you earn in US dollars though you live in Canada during the first 3 years.

this is in response to some who say what if India does this and that ...the point is that India will do nothing. In general we have passive leaders and our PM is a great example of that - if it was done against china then immediately there would have retaliation. in some ways it is good if it stops the misuse ...I guess the biggest losers in this are the lawyers - more lawyer shops will close down

I have also applied for the canadian PR 1.5 months ago. Yesterday I got a letter from canadian consulate to sit for IELTS as I am clamming 16 points on language skill with supporting documents. Now, I do not want to sit for IELTS..is there any way out? Do you guys know any small consulting firm in canada who can give me a HRSDC approved job offer? I will not mind to work for them for a year if I get my PR (it's better then waiting for GC for another 10 years)...
Is it mandatory to sit for IELTS? We have been working in US for few years so we cant do our jobs without knowing english. How can we avoid IELTS?

Thanks for collecting the data.
Assuming that:
- The above people also voted in the recent EB2I Poll (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum5-all-other-green-card-issues/414123-poll-to-sample-pending-eb2-india-pds.html) and
- The ratio of EB2I applicants who post on IV to total EB2I applicants is 1:100
Then, the USCIS approved roughly 1500 apps today.
Also, since EB2-I was at 2002 a few months ago, it means that these are only spill over visas. If this year is like any of the previous years, then EB2-I should get another 10,000 or so. This should be enough (based on the recent poll) to flush out almost all EB2I 2004 and prior applications.

you have till december to find a job. thats 2-3 months. put all your energy to find a new job and ask the new employer to file H1B. if you can find a job in a good company you will have another stab at it. stay away from consultancies this time if thats what causing the rejection...you need to elaborate more on your situation to exactly know what your options are (field of study/experioence etc)....
I am a Master's student and had applied for H1B through a consultant under master quota 2007. I was devastated when the consultant told me today that my H1B was not approved. When i checked online with my WAC no, as expected it said that a decision was mailed to the employer which in most cases means H1B denied.
I have OPT left until dec 07. I haven't yet found a job while on OPT but have been applying for jobs rigorously. I was really banking on the H1B visa for getting a job and then transferring it over to whoever hires me.
With my H1B not approved, I am totally clueless now. Please advice if my H1B application can be reconsidered/re-appealed/ resubmitted. Any other options/suggestions welcome.

Red my other posts where I wrote my experience as I was asked the same question. But here's the answers to your questions in nut shell.
If you have a valid H-1 visa then just stick to it and don't us AP unless you have to.
If CBP officer don't ask, you don't tell, but if s/he does, be HONEST and tell them that you don't. It will really stir the pot but politely tell them that GC on Employment Base is for future employment and that has been my understanding and in good faith my intentions are to go and work for that employer.
They can really harass you for hours like they did me for 6 hrs and then was told to go downtown office. BTW just on a positive note, my AP has been stamped and I am good to go.
There is no law that defines that you have to be working for the original petitioner while your application is being processed but just ethically it's a much better situation if you are employed by the same employer. CBP offficer's argument was that "what's the guarantee that you will go and work for that employer after approval of your GC? or what is the guarantee that they will have that position open for all these years as it may take a very long time?" I told them with a chuckle on my face that if it hadn't taken USCIS 3-4 years to process that application, that wouldn't be the question but they are still processing my file...I mean how many people you gave an offer letter who you want to start after 4 years as a CBP officer?" He gave me a rude smile and walked away to secondary check section.
Anyways....long story short, be honest, have patience and don't show desperation to enter the country.
Good luck...
Looks like Immigration Officers at Port of Entry are asking the AP entry individuals if they are still working from the GC sponsoring company.
I am planning to travel on AP and is not working anymore for the GC sponsoring company.
1. What would be the reaction of the Immigration Officer if he finds out that I am NOT working from the sponsoring company?
2. What documents should I carry to ensure the I will be allowed to re-enter to US on AP with my current non-GC sponsoring company offer letter, pay-stubs etc?
PLease advise

The congressional staff always works like this when they see a fax/letter/email:
For every constituent who writes about a problem, there are 100 others who dont write but have the same problem, and by working on that issue, it would be like working on an issue that would help 100 individuals.
That's why dont think that "What will happen with one fax?". No. Its not like that.
It will be consequential.

H1B is not required for filing Perm labour. You can file Labour in EB2 and after labour got approval you can file I140 along with Request to port PD. Once you get I140 approved with early PD on it,file another I485 under Consular Processing, when your dates are current. This will not effect your current EB3 I485.

Hi Sakthisagar,
So this time when you are going to apply in April for ur H1 extn, you will again be paying for H1 extn fees and H4 extn in case you have dependents ?
Also one can file for H1 extn 1 week before his current H1 expiry date right ? without premium processing ?

Hello
I have substituted a Labor in 2004, My priority date is 4/4/2002. My I-140 is pending since May 2004 and i renew my EAD every year, EAD expires in July 2008. I got my 9th year H1 extensions till july 2007 from the same company/employer.
I tried to change the employer and file a new H1 which was denied this month. The reason for denial is USCIS is not satisfied with the place of work, I have re-applied H1 again on the same company. Now can i apply another NEW H1 from a different company.
I am tensed as my I-140 has been pending since so long....can someone please help me in this matter and suggest me what to do.
Thanks
Raghu
My I140 has been pending for a long time too, without any reason. So finally after many service requests, I have talked to one of the senators of my state. I have explained the situation, ofcourse used the opportunity to highlight IV and EB immigrants problems and then talked about my specific case. There is a routine paperwork that my senators office has that they use to get authorisation from individuals like us to pursue the case with the USCIS. I have filled that paperwork and the request to look into my case. I have a strong notion that it is going to work. The senators office had looked into an earlier case for me with success where I needed to obtain a pending AP in a hurry. I have my own labor (NO Substitute)
I have no idea what the deal is with the H1- Why it was denied.
I suggest you talk to your senator's office.

thank you veni, that is very informative and solid reference.
looks like under 'advanced degree' category, just having a US Masters or foreign equivalent (4+2) is enough. lot of people are under the impression, its MS+3yrs. but the description in USCIS link states just an advanced degree (higher than baccalaureate) is enough. am i reading this right?
BS+5years is equivalent to having an Advanced degree.
But, I think its BS+5yrs, not BS Equivalent + 5 yrs.
That's correct.
Good luck!

two months is a reasonable estimate---but you could request premium processing and pay an extra $1000 filing fee for a decision within 15 days.
