Hi,
My current visa status is H4. As i cannot work on this visa, I am interested in doing an Unpaid Internship. Please clarify whether I can do so on an H4 visa.
I'm trying to secure the internship in a nonprofit organisation. Will there be an exception for them, in case it's not allowed otherwise?
Thanks a tonne!!!
AFAIK, you can do volunteer work without restrictions, provided this truly is a volunteer work; i.e., there is no employer-employee relationship, and you are not working in anticipation that you will be hired in near future based on your current work.
Maybe a good test is, if the nonprofit organization requires your SSN before they would allow you to work, then you may not do that work on H4.

Had a quick question. Not sure if this has been discussed before. Planning to get wife here on H4 and she wants to study. I have applied for 485 and in retro now. Is it advisable to study on H4 or F1? I know she can work on F1 but would that not be advisable since lets say the VB does become current in future for me then filing her 485 might be a problem since F1 is pure non immigrant and USCIS might hold it againt her. Any info/simlar situations greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Amar
You can only work on an F1 under OPT which can only be applied for after at least two full semesters of studying or after graduation.
The F1 is not purely a non immigrant visa since this is the one people like my son are transferring to since they aged out of the employment based immigration system. If it were this would not be possible.
An H4 is as good as any choice if she plans to study. The fees will depend entirely on the state and the educational institution she chooses to attend.

i have strage problem..i am not weather its a problem or not..i have filed my GC in 2004 December and you all know that after that the BEC process came in every thing went to BEC's..and i had no hope on that file and i asked my employer to process my GC under PERM process in 2006 april and i got the Labor and I-140 approved in 6 months...and mean while i got the 2004 labor approved in Feb 2007 and asked my employer which one will be the best and he recommended me apply for I-140 for 2004 labor and wait untill the dates become current and he was expecting the 2004 will become current...so we have applied for I-140 for 2004 labor on May 1st 2007 and the status is pending...now my questios is..
1) Is there is any problem if i use the 2004 labor and apply for I-485.
2) When attorney file for I-140 did they mention any where in that forms that i do not have any immigration petiton has been submited before?
3) If they mention no (miss communication) and applied for I-140 for 2004 labor but in fact there is a petition (I-140) submited for me for my 2006 labor.will this be a problem for my 485 approval?
4) which one will be the best for me to use now 2004 or 2006?
5) I spoke to my attorney on this and he said as long as you have not filed for 485 for 2006 labor then there is no harm.But i am concernet about that if my attorney (2004 labor) mentioned that i have not submited any immigartion petition when he filed for I-140,which is not correct since i have appled for I-140 for 2006 labor will that be a problem for my I-485 process?

Please give us more details , don't mention color of the receipts(one is Visa appointment fees and second Visa issuance fee )
as far I remember , the receipt used to get visa appointment should match with what you you submit at consulate. If you have lost it then u need to get another DD and book/if possible edit the appointment deatils
But if you have lost Visa issuance fees , u don't have to modify ur appointment details but sure you need to get another DD

http://www.immigration.com/perm/permdolnews.pdf
Completing Form ETA 750
AILA: Has the issue been resolved as to how to complete item 10 on Form ETA 750B? As discussed, the item asks for either 10a or 10b to be completed, whichever is appropriate, not both. Please note that Consulate location has not been a required entry since 1990. The reason the question existed was that under the pre-1990 preference system, one could process under a non-preference category with an approved labor certification and no I-140 petition so the question was necessary on the ETA 750. Since 1990, the item should have been marked "N/A". Therefore, we suggest that the item is no longer relevant.
Another one says its mandatory to fill
Can some share there knowledge?
thanks

Employment Letter is a part of the initial evidence. There is a memo recently saying that any missing initial evidence will result in denial of application without RFE. Try to cajole your employer and gather as much evidence as you can about being asked for $$$ for helping you file 485

Hi,
Apologies for any inconvenience caused by this thread.
Does 1 require a UK Visa if they are travelling on British Airways? As i have my parents travelling from India to USA on British Airways(they have Multiple B1/B2 US Visa)..
Spoke to BA &they advised me to speak to UK Consulate.:(
Any info be helpful.
Thnx
You need a UK Transit Visa only if you don't have a valid USA VISA stamped in the passport.
My Parents always use BA, and they never take a UK transit visa.
But if i use BA to visit India, in the near future i would be taking a transit visa, as my H1 Visa on the passport has expired (Using H1 Extension Approval right now)

Since AC21 does not go in any official USCIS form, it is better to attach with G-28. My attorney did that and USCIS had acknowledged their receipt of the G-28 and supporting documents. The Ack was a letter to me and the attorney when my (new) attorney opened a service request inquiring the attorney of record after 4 weeks of filing G-28 and AC21 documents.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Hi,
My employer applied for my PERM and i-140 in 2005 in the EB-2 category. Both were approved.
In 2007, I left my employer to pursue an MBA, and converted my H-1B to F-1 visa. Now I am planning to return to my old employer.
I would like to know whether
a) if my employer did not revoke my i-140, is my old PERM still vaild? Can I apply for a new I-140 and a new I-485 using my old approved PERM.
b) if my employer did revoke my i-140, is my old PERM still vaid? I know I can retain the priority date, but was wondering what is the status of my old PERM?
Any help is appreciated.
I know that PERM is valid only for 180 days, and an i-140 has to be filed within that time, which was done in my case. However, does the law say anything about PERM validity if the i-140 is revoked?

That is depressing to know.
Yesterday I have opened a SR using the Expedite Processing CSR Option by calling USCIS. Spoke to a good CSR who understood the mistake and opened a SR for correcting the EB classfication and expediting the case (sence USCIS Error is an option for Expediting cases). Lets see what happens with this.
Also have a good contact now in Senators office, I already submitted a inquiry through their office and waiting for response.
Hello,
It often takes a few letters to be sent to USCIS before anything happens in such situations. It seems like USCIS sometimes disregards attorneys' letters. But once someone takes the letter seriously, you should see some soft LUDs on your case; although it does not always happen.

Hi All,
Joined California based consulting company in mid 2006, got project in Maryland(MD). Worked in Maryland but CA company ran payroll on CA address. I have LCA for Maryland. End of year,2006 filed tax filing with CA state.
Project went till February,2008 they are running my pay stubs,W2 with CA address. I filed CA tax returns for year 2007 but stayed in Maryland.
Now my questions is I�m present in Maryland(LCA) but pay stubs,W2 are showing CA address. In demographic information form(g-325) which I address I need to use. Should I go with physical address(Maryland) or W2 address(CA).
I have no idea how to go about this, can you please advice how to present my case.
Thanks,
Sampath.
In G325, you should specify the address where you lived. On the other hand, though your W2 says CA address, you should have filed taxes with Maryland and filed taxes with CA as non-resident.

Pineapple, although I dont have a solution to your problem I can definitely say that something is better than nothing. The senate dont have a problem with legal immigration, as long it is legal. If we can get our EB provisions as a part of this bill, most of them will be happy. There will quirks that can apply to immigrants as well, but that has to be addresed by the part of overall nature of the bill.
