I am a Spanish citizen and I am currently holding an F-1 visa with post-completion OPT that expires in 06/2011. I am working at a company in VA and I got married in Michigan to a US citizen in 09/2010.
My company is offering to sponsor me for an H1B visa in order to continue working here after 06/2011. I am also preparing all the paperwork to apply for a change of status to a green card through marriage (I-130/I-485). Can I submit the green card application at the same time as my company submits the H1B request?
Yes. They are independent.
I also have to travel outside the US on 05.2011. I know I would have to ask for advance parole in case of green card application or obtain an H1B visa stamp outside the US if the H1 has been processed.
You must have advance parole to travel abroad after you have applied for green card. If the green card is approved while you are abroad and you do not have AP, theoretically the green card is considered abandoned.
H1-B VISA is independent of green card. You can obtain an H1-B VISA in a consulate abroad after you have the I-797 (H1-B approval).
What is the best way to be able to travel abroad in these circumstances?

This is where the lawyer comes in. Or someone who has been through this can describe his experience.
As long as your resume and experience letters match you with the Labor, you are good. eb3 is less riskier than eb2.
For peace of mind, you can get a second opinion from another attorney by having him match your profile with the substituted Labor.

My OPT started on July 12th, 2006 and I did not apply for my H1-B last year because the advanced degree cap quota was reached even before I got my job. Now, my OPT expired on July11th, 2007. My attorney suggested me to use the 60 days grace period to stay in U.S and get my H1-B Visa stamped in Chennai, India (Because, the 60 days grace period will get over by September 11th, 2007 and there is 19 days gap before my H1-B starts). In the H1-B approval notice it is clearly mentioned that I would attend the Chennai consulate for my stamping. The problem is that, I am not able to find available dates in Chennai consulate for H1-B stamping. Can I attend Delhi or Mumbai consulates? Please suggest me a way to come out of this situation.

Is it true that my spouse (currently on H4) with pending AOS if outside US when my (principal applicant) approval comes, will not be able to use H4. Will her H4 get invalidated the moment i become a permanent resident. What happens if she boards a plane and reaches US to find that her H4 is not valid ?
Is this a valid circumstance. Has anyone been in a similar situation.
H4s better keep AP along when traveling.

Not all non-profits are cap-exempt.
He could theoretically apply for a change of status from B-2 to H-1B. However he should not be using the B-2 to look for work. Any change of status, or H-1B visa application at a consulate, might bring up the questions of his activities in B-2 status, and whether he misrepresented anything. If he found a job while in the US in B-2 status, his activities in B-2 status might be questioned.

Hey m0r,
Yeah that is a great idea. I hope to have some Swift 3D V3 tutorials out soon that cover a lot of stuff such as movement. Maybe a Swift 3D Open Source section; I won't mind to have that placed on the site :)
Cheers!

Delaying beyond your legal stay would obviously make you out of status and there are quite a few repercussions for it. It is still February, you still have time
Unfortunately, this forum has very few answers ,mostly questions being posed,so, I doubt you'll get any useful responses

Any one can update this thread please?

I (and my spouse as dependent) applied for I-485, AP, and EAD on July 17, 07 and am yet to get the receipt notice. My (and my spouse's) H-1 expires on 12/31/07 and I plan to travel out of the US between November 8 and December 24.
In case, the I-485 receipt notice does not come before we leave, would we be considered as having abandoned the PR application? Any idea how long it might take for the receipt notice to come for people in my shoes?

My wife changed her status from B2 to H1 in US.Her H1 was approved without any problems.Could that cause any probelms in the future when she applies for green card.What is the chance to get her H1 denied in the consulate if she travels abroad because she changed from visitor to work visa in US?

Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer Has Just Posted the Following:
“If we are truly going to fix a broken system, Congress will have to act”
The following is a statement from Lynn Tramonte, Deputy Director of America’s Voice:
We have entered a new chapter and a new phase in the immigration debate. Secretary Napolitano today laid out the framework for fixing the broken immigration system, and the solution is comprehensive immigration reform. Drawing on her years of experience on the southwest border, and her new role as the nation’s top homeland security official, she said that we need Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform, and create immigration laws that truly work for our country.
Reform will secure the border, protect all workers, and require undocumented immigrants to register for legal status, pay fines and taxes, clear background checks, and get in line for citizenship. This will benefit all Americans by strengthening the rule of law, bringing in more taxpayers, cutting costs for enforcement, and making our nation’s borders stronger and safer. Now is the time for Congress to take the next step and pass legislation that would accomplish these goals.
As Secretary Napolitano pointed out, the American people support comprehensive immigration reform, and the debate we are about to engage in is not the same old debate. Law enforcement, labor, business, faith, and community leaders are all demanding comprehensive reform for our nation’s security, economy, workers, and families. We have a new President, who was elected because he promised to address important problems like this with practical solutions. We have a new Congress, with leaders who also promised change and progress to the American people.
The Secretary’s speech today was an important moment, but it was just the opening bell. It’s now time for Congress and the Administration to put serious muscle behind advancing the proposal – and it’s time for politicians of all political parties to set aside partisanship and demagoguery, and do what’s right for the country.

Hi All,
My previous I-140 was denied due to the ability to pay issue since company was in loss and Idid not get prevailing wage since PD.I have appealed it hoping I can extend my h1 beyond 6th year.Is it true?
Also, Now we have pre approved labor with lower in same company where I can satisfy by showing W-2 to prove the ability to pay. Now If I am planning to apply another I-140 with labor sub,
would it matter to the new I-140 appllication if the previous I-140 was denied and is being currently appealed? Because in the I-140 form there is a question ,
"Has any Immigrant visa petition been filed by or on this person?"
Should I say "YES", Right? and also give the detail of previous filing????
Also How does USCIS verify the W2?BY contacting the IRS or ?
Please suggest?
Thanks
You have to give them detailed information.if you don't still they pull up your records.
IRS database can be accessed by USCIS under homeland security rule to verify any information regarding an individual.

Is there any law for disabled immigrant. I am 33 years old, and I am disabled, and I am here in US from 1998. I really want to settle down in one place, and it does not matter whether it is India or America but I think I have to make a choice right now, or my future will be a big question mark.
I have waited for a long time, thinking future will be bright, day by day I dont feel I will get my Green Card, So as my lost option I am wondering whether there is any option for disable immigrant? Any help is appreciated.
thanks

1) I got my first H-1 on 10/01/2006 ( I-29 date). When is the latest I should renew my H-1B visa
Answer: At least three months before your H1 expires.
2) I was a July filer and my wife is already using EAD (business). Does it make sense to renew her H-4 as well
Answer: No.. She is already doing business, which she can not if she goes back on H4. If she is making money then no point going for H4.
3) I was going to apply for AP for my wife? Will I loose my H-1 if I apply AP for myself too
Answer: As the previous member said, both are separate issue, so don't worry and just apply for her AP.
