It would be really great to get clarification on this issue. Hope it's taken up by AILA in the immediate future like you indicated.
I'm not sure it will be taken up by AILA -- I was so surprised by the resistance I encountered when I asked a well known attorney with a blog (v. popular with IV members) to submit this question to the AILA committee which reviews topics for liason meetings, and it took several rounds of email and some very severe rhetoric from me to even get him to send it to the committee! I feel it is terrible that our self-professed advocates hesitate even to ASK a question, let alone propose specific reforms...
The deadline for submitting questions is Feb 15 -- so if you are interested, get in touch with your attorneys and send in the question. Maybe numbers will move them.

To the best of my knowledge you can not file for AOS while you are on TN . To process your green card you have to switch to your H1B from TN and start your green card as any other national i.e file for your Labor certification, I-140 and then i-485 .This process is same like any other national. All the best.
You can file for AOS from any status. The only problem will be that you cannot renew your non-immigrant visa unless it is a dual intent visa like H1B, L or O.
Since you are a Canadian citizen, I am assuming that you don't actually have to get a H1 visa stamped on your passport (I may be wrong - check with your attorney). When you enter the US, you should be able to show all your documents for H1B approval (LCA application, approved petition, etc - I don't remember the entire list) and get an I-94 with H1B status and expiry date.
As far as AOS petition is concerned, I think it is considered adandoned unless you are on a valid H1 or L status. Since you are on TN status and you will be leaving the country on TN status, your application might be considered adandoned. You will have to talk to an attorney and find out if you can travel out of the country.

Hi All,
I am in tough situation. Hope you can help me. I applied and got OPT card on DEC-2007. I thought I can complete my MASTER's by that time but one of my proff gave me D grade and according to University rules, I cannot graduate if I have D grade in Graduating Semester(Even though I have 3.09 GPA including that subject). Right now I enrolled in an online course and I will graduating in MAY2008, at the same time I am in Consultancy who are applying for my H1. They don't have any idea about my Case and are really confused when I gave the Graduation status letter that was issued by our University.
This is the matter that I have in my Graduate Status letter.
"This is to verify that harish is graduate student in good standing, currently working on Master of Science degree with a major in Electrical Engineering. He has successfully completed 30 of the 33 required hours of enrollment on his graduate plan of study, and is currently enrolled in the remaining three hours. He has passed his exit examination, and has submitted his application for the degree for the spring semester of 2008. Provided that he successfully completes his final enrollment, he would be awarded his degree. Spring 2008 degrees will be officially conferred on May 26th, 2008. Diplomas and official transcripts that display spring awards will become available approximately the third week of July, 2008"
Is this enough to apply for H1 in Master's Quota? if not what is the right way to apply and get H1 safely. I am planning to apply H1 with Bachelors even to be on safe side but we all know the chance of getting H1 with Bachelors is very less.
Please help me what to do with this situation and having letter from the university.
I believe that you need the actual diploma (you send a photocopy of it to USCIS) for getting counted in the M.S. quota. Most schools give the diploma once you have finished all requirements.

]i am thinking that this is a liar's post.[/B].. i am very surprised that USCIS went to extent of finding H4 inconsistencies and denying a dependent GC... that would take the cake... it makes it sound like USCIS is out to catch people with the smallest slightest mistakes... i do not think that is the case...
What do you mean? I'm asking a genuine question which happened to my brother. If you can not understand someone's pain and can not offer any help then what are you doing here? Bashing people with such kind of remarks and playing with their sentimence...
I'm going to report this post to Moderator..

One of my friends had his 485 pending. He took leave of absence from company and went on to pursue full time MBA for 2 years.
In the middle of MBA, company had to remove him from payroll due to re-org.
Green card came in a few months.
He is now doing a hot shot MBA job using GC.
Will he face issues during N-400?
Is there anything wrong in what he did?
This is according to Ron Gotcher at http://immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6273
----------
Generally speaking, there is nothing to prevent someone from going back to school while they await final green card processing. The new school program, however, raises two important questions:
First, after completing the new program, will you work in the same or similar occupational classification as that for which you received foreign labor certification? If so, then there is no problem. If not, that presents a very serious problem. At first glance, it would appear that receiving an MBA would move you into a different occupational classification. That will certainly be an issue if you pursue this path.
Second, you are obligated to take up employment in your field within a reasonably short time after your green card is approved. I would think that if you had already started a new semester, you could wait until it ended to resume your employment, but not much beyond that.

Thanks jsb....I didn't know this....But I think its still better if I wait for 140 approval...Then atleast one other uncertainty will be removed from my GC journey...Hopefully it would only take a month or two more than normal processing time for my 140...If it gets delayed further, then I might use it anyways..It's nice to know though that I have an option..Thanks again
Yes. Note answer to Q 2. In case there is an RFE to sponsor of I-140, and there is no proper response, I-140 is denied, resulting in denial of I-485 too. I-140 has to be approved or approvable.
Once mega data entry is done, there will be a lull on new filings for quite sometime, giving USCIS time to look at the cases. I don't know what is current I-140 processing time, but it is better to have it out of the way before you think of moving on.

Yes. As long as your PD was current in some point of time you can file WOM. Be sure to include Department of State as a defendant so it could be ordered to release a visa number for you..

Since on 2nd July they said they will reject the AOS application, what if they would have done some rejection during that time, and by the time July filers get their application back, it is after 17th of August. In that circumstance, can you send the AOS application back arguing USCIS's mistake and ask them to take it back after 08/17 and would they take it back politely or reject it again.
Its going to be another lawsuit :confused:

Vic,
when was your I140 EB2 filed in Nebraska service center (receipt date) and when did you receive the RFE?
My understanding is you should have completed the masters program before labor was applied....Consult your attorney before responding to the RFE.
All the best!!!
Thanks

Hi, Guys:
My old H-1b will expire on June 30 2007. My employer has applied the new H-1b extension, but it is still pending. I am planning to go back to my country this summer and try to apply for H-1 visa in US embassy in early June. My question is whether I can apply for H-1 visa using the old one (expire on June 30) while the new one is pending. How long will be my H-1 visa valid (usually 3-month in my country)? Will I get 3-month or till the expirating date(June 30)? Can I come back to US? Many thanks.

From my lawyer:
We are being told that they are holding all of them for now. We are unsure
where this will land because of congressional pressure and lawsuits that
will be filed. We are still waiting to get more answers about what
immigration plans to do.

Attorney Murthy referred to few cases (I think she said 3) that went thru her law firm, which got approved on the last week of June and also on July 2nd. She said both her client (who were pleasently surprised, good for them) and the law firm were surprised as the dates were not current in June and also not in July due to revised VB.
She mentioned it in the context of lot of crazy things that is happening in USCIS and questioned the 60,000 cases that are being claimed to have been approved in under a month. All these bizarre happenings would get questioned and hopefully explained in the litigation.
Join the litigation was the big message in the conference call today.
Good Luck.

From IRS point of view, parents are considered dependents if you are taking care of them at home. You could bring them on visitor VISA mentioning that they will be here for medical treatment. You may have to show proof of Insurance etc ... in the affidavit of support. Medical exprenses are costly here. That is the only problem.

I thought once your EAD gets approved then you H1 Visa is not longer valid.
You could keep EAD and H1 together active?? Any experts, could you please throw some light?

Dear All,
Today, one of my Friend�s I-485 got returned from Mail room due to Filing fee missing.
He is 100% sure that he attached 325$+70$ filing fee along with application, he has photocopy too to prove his stand.
He is lucky, that he is re- filing it again, my question is , what happens, if the file get returned due to mail room clerks error . Can we refile again after 17th Aug,2007 ?
What proof we have to make sure that we filed properly, will USCIS honor our proof ( that is photocopy of all the document we retain ) as a proof that we filed properly.
