My cousin is getting married to a US citizen in February 2009. I want to get information about K3 visa for spouse of US citizen. My questions are:
1. I have heard that it takes long time to get K3 visa, is that true?
Yes it is true that the K3 visa may take a year and the spouse must remain in the home country during that time.
2. If the above statement is true then what other visa option is best for her, visitor or fiance visa (K1 visa)?
She can try for K1 visa but it must be filed now and she must come to the US before marriage. The K1 visa processing can take a few months so your cousin may be running out of time.
3. Is it necessary that immigrant visa petition (greencard) is in process before applying for K3 visa?
The K3 is the greencard process and it can only be filed after the marriage has occurred.
Thank you all in advance for your help!!!!

Hi,
I am currently on h1b visa without a project from past 1 year in US and my employer asked me to convert to L2 visa dependent on my husband who is on L1 visa . I do not have any paystubs for my stamping. If I go to canada consulate for stamping, what is the success rate for my visa being approved?Will I be able to come back to US without any issues.Also, can you suggest me to which consulate should I go for my stamping?Please help!
Thanks.
If you didnot receive pay for 1 year means you were illegal in USA. This site is for highly skilled Legal immigrants. you can file a complaint against ur empoyer for not paying wage once you are on L2. If you win case against ur employer keep record with u and go for l2 stamping .. you should not have any issue.
Note : I am not an attorney. This is my view and can be differ from other.

Hi All,
Sorry for posting this in an Immigration forum. I am just trying to get some advise from people who might have already been in this situation.
My cousin came to US on F-1 visa in Jan 2007. She has been attending grad school in NY...She got money from India to pay for her tuition for the first semester as she had no financial aid....One professor promised her aid starting Aug 2007 but that prof left the university for personal reasons so I paid her tuition/insurance for one semester ($10k)....I have also been helping her with her living expenses since she arrived in US....She only worked 1 day throughout the year and has a W-2 with $29 as earnings for 2007...
My question is, can I claim her as a dependent in my tax filing....She lives in NY and I work/live in TX.....I am planning to consult a tax professional regarding this, but I just wanted to get a heads up from you all before visiting a professional.
Thanks for your time.

You can live in US legally beyound your current H1B I-94.
As long as your AOS (I-485) is Pending, Ofcoure u need EAD for work.
Hello Friends,
I have utilized AC-21 and moved onto another employer and I will be using my EAD. I have an I-94, from the I-797 of my previous employer, which expires in May 2008.
The question I have is if we have utilized AC-21 can we still live here in US past the I-94 date? Will the stay be considered legal? I ask because as far as I know when a person is on H1B he can not afford to go past the I-94 validity date, does the same apply with an AOS applicant?

I usually spend some time every day at my San Francisco Bay Area immigration law office making inquires on pending cases. It is a frustrating process because I rarely receive answers and when I do, they usually are not helpful.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") has recently released guidance on how to make inquiries at their Service Centers (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/USCIS%20update.pdf). They provide a three step process. The first step is to call their National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283. If the issue is not resolved in 30 days, you proceed on to the next step which is to email the USCIS Service Center where your case is pending. The email addresses are:
California Service Center csc-ncsc-followup@dhs.gov Vermont Service Center vsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov Nebraska Service Center ncscfollowup.nsc@dhs.gov Texas Service Center tsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov (tsc.ncsfollowup@dhs.gov)
If there is no response to the email, you proceed to the last step which is to notify the USCIS Headquarters office of Service Center Operations by email at SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov. The notice indicates that you will receive a response from this email within ten days.
It remains to be seen whether this system actually works. I will try it out in a few cases and will report back what happens.

Hi,
We had been to Canada in Sep, 2003 for our Canadian residency stamping. While on our way back to San Francisco, US immigration did not stamp our passports or take back our I-94's. Prior to this trip we had been to India in March, 2003.
Now I am confused as to what should be our last date/port of entry to US? I-94's/passport stamp still indicates our March, 2003 trip and Our Canadian PR stamp does indicate date PR was stamped in Canada. But there's not other stamp/proof on passport for our entry to San Francisco.
Any pointers/suggestions?
Thanks
Travel to contiguous territory such as Canada for a period of 30 days or less does not count as last Port of entry because they dont take your I-94 or stamp your passport. Therefore you have to put your Prior trip of March 2003.

This is really a contentious issue both in the pro and anti immigration communities and it is surprising that it has taken this long for one of the major advocacy groups to raise the issue publicly. . Pro-immigration groups are divided on the strategy question of whether allowing measures to go piecemeal will peel off support for some of the tougher measures like a legalization program. But if comprehensive reform fails this year, it will be the third failure since the comprehensive movement began in 2004 and it could mean waiting until 2011 or even after the next presidential election...

What I understand is that, your spouse can apply for H1, but not "change of status" while on EAD/adjustee. The establishment of H1 status for your spouse is possible only via an entry using H1 visa.
So your spouse can wait in USA for the H1 approval notice and then travel outside USA for consular processing.
Anyway, it may not worth all this pain, since she can continue using EAD.
Thanks for the response, but does that means anybody who is on EAD cannot apply for H1B while in US ?

No my friend , you are not alone here.
My employer did not allow us to file EAD and AP for employees. Only for spouse) and I was wondering if I can file myself. But I don't think we can do it without a receipt notice.
As far as new fee structure is concerned, we'll be better off paying the new fee compared to the old fee and attorney fee combined.

Hi,
My Company recently started Perm process and posted ads in newspaper and jobsites. We have recieved couple of resumes. One of the resume meets almost all requirements, but doesn't have enough experiance in one skill set and also doesn't have required Bachelors Degree in MIS or Computer Science or EEE.
Can we reject the candidate saying, doesn't have required bachelors Degree in above mentioned 3 fields, and not having enough experiance in one of the specified skill set?
And also do we need to do interview candidates before rejecting?
Thanks..
Are you VP or HR person or interviewer? Why do you care about these things?
If you are not employer, your company will take care of these things.Did they ask you to help them in this regard??

Guys, youtube is a great site, especially for viewing funny videos from Daily show etc of Comedy central.
However, streaming video can put you in trouble at work, so avoid it, unless you are sure its safe. Streaming video takes up a lot of bandwidth and chokes network(if a lot of people do it).
Best thing: do it from home.

A great tip from AILA to share with our readers regarding the H1B visa. It seems that H-1B petitions (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) for Speech Language Pathologists (SLP) and similar related occupations are being closely monitored to ensure that accurate job duties are being identified to confirm CGFNS (Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools) certification requirements.
There are multiple progressive occupations within the Speech Language Pathology career field including, Teachers of Speech and Hearing Handicapped (TSHH), Teachers of Speech and Language Disabilities (TSSLC), Speech Language Pathologist Assistants (SLPA) and Clinical Fellows (CFY), and Speech Language Pathologists (SLP).
While all of these positions require a state license, only SLPs who are certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) may provide direct patient care without supervision, and thus, only certified SLPs require CGFNS certification.
According to CGFNS, the other related occupations (TSHH, TSSLC, SLPA, and CFY, all of which require a minimum of a bachelor's degree, a license, and direct supervision by a licensed SLP) do not provide independent patient care and must be supervised by a licensed SLP and, therefore, are not eligible for CGFNS certification.
USCIS officers ask that H petitioners carefully delineate the job duties of positions within this career field so that officers can determine whether the position is one of the SLP related occupations that do not require CGFNS certification.

The date you sign the form has nothing to do with the date USCIS receives your application packet.
if we sign 28th june , it will be considered 1st july filing ?

True enough, Dixie. I was hoping that other affected parties would become aware of this site through digg. Even one more contribution through this promotion would be worth it, I think.
