First of all, let me begin by congratulating the IV core team and other members on staging a dignified protest to the entire July VB fiasco!
I have a question regarding the medical exam for the AOS. The civil surgeon I went to did not do a TB skin test and instead took an x-ray to verify no signs of TB. Has anyone else had the same experience, i.e. no skin test, x-ray only?
The other strange thing he told me was that some of his patients send the x-ray as part of the 485 application. Has any1 else heard of anything like this?
Last I checked, the USCIS did not employ medical personnel, but then what do I know?
Any input from fellow IV members is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and good luck to all.

Thanks,
Jayant

The Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) provides for the admission of different classes of nonimmigrants who are foreign nationals seeking temporary admission to the United States. The purpose of the nonimmigrant�s intended stay in the United States determines his or her proper nonimmigrant classification. Some classifications permit the nonimmigrant�s spouse and qualifying children to accompany the nonimmigrant to the United States or to join the nonimmigrant here. To qualify, a child must be unmarried and under the age of 21.
F-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(F) of the Act, are foreign students coming to the United States to pursue a full course of academic study in SEVP-approved schools. An F-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an F-1 student.
M-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(M) of the Act, are foreign nationals pursuing a full course of study at an SEVP-approved vocational or other recognized nonacademic institution (other than in language training programs) in the United States. An M-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an M-1 student.
SEVP is the DHS program that administers SEVIS. It ensures that government agencies have essential data related to nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors to preserve national security. SEVP provides approval and oversight to schools authorized to enroll F and M nonimmigrant students and gives guidance to both schools and students about the requirements for maintenance of their status.
ICE SEVP I-17 FAQs provide information for schools about SEVP certification, including background on SEVP and SEVIS, SEVP certification basics, an overview of the SEVP certification process, preparing the petition for SEVP certification, and preparing for a site visit.

Smmri,
You are not subject to the cap. As you spent more than a year outside the US , you have the option of resetting your H1B clock (in other words ,apply for a H1 which would be valid for 6 years ,but would also be subject o the cap) or reviving your old H1B which would not be subject to the cap.
If you need a reference ,PLease refer to the AC21 provisions.
I have an old H1B visa with approval date December 19, 2000. I moved to US in Jan 2001 and spend only 2 months in USA in total. Stay outside USA from Mar 2001 until now.
Can I apply for the remaining time against my initial six-year period of admission and will be exempted from the cap?

I know a colleague of mine who also changed from L1 to H1 last year but he joined his new job after 2 months from Oct 1 .
I have also read that only when you go out of the country and when you stamp your visa thats when one of the visa goes invalid.
Is this right?
Dude,
You are already out of status as you are not on L anymore. As of october 01st, your status changed to H-1b and you can only be employed by your H-1b employer.
Talk to a lawyer who knows L stuff (not many do) and straighten things out.

Finterpring while H1 stamping is different. You need to get finterpring again when you apply for I485. They took my fingerprinting when I went for H1 stamping(though it was couple of years ago), but gave finger printing again after applying for 485.
So better you contact USCIS. Search in IV forums, I read sometime back that there are some people who didnt get fingerprinting notice.

I am currently working for big consulting firm, they hold my H1 and 485 is pending for more than 6 months. i have valid EAD from pending 485.
I am getting full time opportunity, my new employer is ready to transfer H1 as well as they are willing to accept me using EAD. so its entirely my preference.
can you please tell me adv/dis adv of using H1 over EAD or vice versa. (my 6 yrs of H1 will finish in another 6-7 months)
Thanks
If they are willing to process H1B, go w/ H1B. You will get 3 year extension since 140 is approved. Also, at the same time file for AC21. You are all set.

Hello All,
I am in a strange situation.
My attorney is about to file my I-1485 this week.
My details:
Previous company:
Perm PD: June 2006 EB2
I-140 EB2 approved in Nov/2006.
Current company:
PERM filed: Oct/24/2007
I-140 EB2 filed on Jan/31/2008
trying to recapture the old PD of June/2006.
Today, when I checked my I-140 status, it says "Request for Evidence sent" yesterday.
What are my options now? I do not know if I am eligible to go ahead and file my I-485 now ? What are the implications if I go ahead and file my I-485 now.? Please let me know your ideas.
Thanks in advance

How can you change jobs if you have not filed for I485 and it has not been pending for >6months?
If you change jobs you will have to start green card process again.
If you stay with your current company, and if PD becomes current in summer, they can file for 1485 and then once your i485 is pending for >6 months you can try to change jobs using AC21.
Gurus step in and correct me if I am wrong.
All reliance on my opinion is at your own risk.
Good luck.

Hi,
to stay away from india while on AOS, you need AP.
to maintain AOS, one needs to keep renewing AP.
So when you apply/renew AP candidate needs to be here...
So your daughter will apply for AP, get it , travel... come back 6 months prior to AP expiry, go to india and study and you will send AP by mail ...
she will come here every 4-6 months prior to AP expiry and renew and go back.
You need to give a sound reason in port of entry why you are staying away for long durations..!

it is nothing but an employer letter in which you need to specify your designation and your continuation of your employment with that company. I sent the same letter for H4 stamping to my spouse.

Yes it seems USCIS is also asking the public to help improve its website. It has posted a link on its homepage "Help improve uscis.gov" which was supposed to take you to another page. Unfortunately that link is broken as of now. If you click on it, it takes you to a blank page.
I would say, for starters, how about posting links that actually work????

As of June 19, 2009, approximately 44,500 H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085) cap-subject petitions and approximately 20,000 petitions qualifying for the advanced degree cap exemption had been filed. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.

No active members.
I had 3 of my co-workers in IV and they are no longer here. What ever i did before for IV is with the help of the university students and most of them i know left after their graduation or ready to leave in the next few months.
As always there are other members who are in IV and they do not want to participate in the IV activities. All they want is to get the information from IV forums.
