i've been in the US on a f-1 visa since 2006. i am getting my masters at the moment. i am planning on getting married to my girlfriend who is a US citizen. i have been with her for the past 2 years and am dearly in love with her. we plan on getting married and i was wondering if i get married to her, can i apply for a green card right away or do i have to wait for a while before i can apply for a green card. she is also a student getting her bachelors.
my second question is that if i can apply for a green card then could i take a semester off and return to studying next semester or would that be a problem since i am on an F-1 visa.
i would appreciate it if i could get an answer soon so that i could take the semester off.
thanks.

Hi, Thanks for the reply, but she did not even know at that point about this provision. This was a kind of typo error, (05 to 04) .
Is there a possibility to rectify this problem?

On February 18 and 19, the University of California (Irvine) hosted a symposium where many of U.S. immigration's Rock-Star professors came together to try and solve "Persistent Puzzles in Immigration Law." The topics covered a wide expanse. A subject discussed that particularly interested me is Congress's often inexplicable delegation of regulatory authority among a surfeit of federal agencies that administer and enforce the immigration laws, each with its area of real (or presumed) expertise and overlapping responsibilities. One speaker mentioned her concern about the possible mis-use of E-Verify by some employers to screen current or would-be workers for employment eligibility,...

Hi,
I have an approved I-140 with my current employer. I have an offer from another employer that I am considering but the new employer will only transfer the H1B and not sponsor the GC.
Q1: Can I transfer my visa and start working for new employer and keep the GC process with the old employer if they agree to keep the offer open?
Q2: After visa transfer, if my PD becomes current, can I file I-485 with the old employer while working for the new employer?
I really appreciate any help.
Thanks

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html

Please I need advice. I am currently preparing to file I-140/I-485 concurrent application and do not want to include the names of my children who are US citizens on the application. This is because I do not want the name of their mom to come up since I don't want to add her name too to the application. Although we got married outside the US, and I mistakenly wrote that with her name on my B1/B2 application I still will want to file this application as single. She has some issues to clear with USCIS and I do not want to complicate matters by adding her name to my application. I truly will appreciate your advice on this matter before I submit my application. Thank you

Hi all,
I am in a confusing situation would really appreciate some suggestions.
I am the primary applicant and my spouse is the beneficiary for the 485 applications that were sent on July 07. I have received a RFE on my 140. My PD is 12/2004 EB3-India.
My spouse company may be willing to apply for her under EB1C. I have a few questions:
1. Can she apply for 140/485 simultaneously? (I heard concurrent applications are not possible)
2. Can the existing 485s be jeopardized by the new 485s?
3. Do we need to go in for FP and do our Medicals again if we apply for 485s again or are they going to reuse what we have already sent?
4. Do we need to withdraw the existing 485s at some point of time
5. Is this worth the hassel of complicating the applications?
Please help!

Hi,
Please advice me on below:-
1)I am on H1b visa and currently i am on bench. My 140 is approved and my H1b is expiring on sep30 ,2009. I got rfe for h1b extension asking for client letter.
Should i convert to h4 or do h1b transfer if i could be able to get someone to transfer it.
2) Also if I go to h4 visa will my green card processing with priority date remain same if i go back to same employer and ask them to file my h1b again after i get a project. Or they again have to start the process again even with same employer. Also what if i go with different employer.
3. If I apply for H4 visa now and in mean time i get a project before sep 30 2009, then what do I need to do. can i just ask my employer to again file h1b extension.
4) SO if I do h1b transfer or go on h4 what are the pros and cons.
Please let me know ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
I'm F1 right now, graduating in may. I'm not sure if i'm going to work or go to school after graduation. If I apply for OPT then get into school again as an F1 student, is my current F1 visa void (valid to 2012) ? Will I have to get a new F1 visa because I applied for OPT?
Thanks in advance

Computerworld, which has been the media outlet of choice for the protectionist crowd, reports on one subject addressed by DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano during her testimony this week. Napolitano told the Senate Judiciary Committee that USCIS is stepping up enforcement in the H-1B program. Anti-fraud measures being instituted include site visits. Some of the antis out there probably think that I have a problem with this. They would be wrong. Many of the anecdotes of bad behavior reported by critics of the H-1B program are quite unlawful under existing law.The vast majority of employers comply with the law and are...

Hi,
Need good advice.
My fiancee had an approved post decision status on her H1B application. She's waiting for an interview in the US Embassy for final approval.
We're planning to get married so that she can bring me and our 2 year old son.
My concern is what will we do, will we marry before her interview or after her interview?
Another biggest concern is I have a pending petition from my mother who is US Citizen, I belong to F1 Category. I know that if we'll get married my petition will move to another category which is F3.
So this is a bit confusing whether we will marry before her interview or after her interview?
Please put some inputs. Thank you very much!
