Does anyone know how receptive the ASC in Boston is to FP walk-ins? Also, is there ANY way of calling ahead of time and finding out if they accept walk-ins?

Hello Mates & Buddies,
I am currently holding Indian Citizenship and planning to file my H1 on Indian passport.
But at this year end I am also planning to take my Australian Citizenship.
So could anyone please suggest or share his experience whether transferring H1 on totally new citizenship is possible or not ? if yes then what's the way ?
And does anyone has any experience or knowledge of E3 (Australian Work visa to USA).
Thank in advance !!!
Always,
Nirms
Are you planning to shift the H1 to a different citizenship for retrogression based issues ?? if so, i dont think there would be any advantage as Green Card Quota's are based on "Country of Birth" and not citizenship..

the lawyer asked me to cancel the appointment.
My company booked me a ticket to India for a week and I got it stamped in India (Mumbai) no questions asked and in less than 3 mins I was out the consulate.
I suggest cancel the appointment and wait until you are traveling to India and get it stamped.

If I dont transfer my H1B for a couple of years then what happens. So for example I get a job today and start working on EAD and there for a 2-3 years just by renewing EAD via my husband. Three years down the lane I want to get back on H1B due to problems with I485. Is it possible to get on H1B at point in time because I still have three years remaining on it. WOuld the cap be applicable? In addition, if we find out there is a problem with I 485, does INS give me some time like 1-2 months to make that change in status that is from AOS to H1B?

1. Yes it is true that nurses and physical therapists dont need to undergo any labour certification process. They can file the I140 directly. The only thing that they need to do before filing an I140 is that the hospital in which they are working will have to post an internal ad for 10 days. The ad will display the nurse wage and other details. Once you are done with displaying it for 10 days they can file the I140 directly.
2. Nurse dont fall under H1B category. There is a specail category called T1 visa under which they fall. Since nurse degree is not at par with other graduation degrees like physical therapists they will not fall under H1. Irrespective of that, if the GC is filed for a nurse it will automatically go under the EB3 category.
PTs and nurses had a special provision in 2005 and 2006 where they were getting green card on arrival. It is called a Schedule A category which gave 50k visas to these medical professionals few years back. At that time the requirement for nurse and PT was quite high and that's what caused the Bush administration to introduce those 50k visas. These visa exhausted soon and since Oct 2006 this category is also retrogressed.
We dont know when the nurses and PTs will see the relief again; till then they continue to fall under the long EB3 queue.
Hope that helps

My in-laws attended visitor visa interview at Hyderabad Consulate on 25th Feb. My mother-in-law (not working) got her visa (no questions asked) but father-in-law (an electrical engg manager, still working for central govt) was asked to fill out a questionnaire related to his professional experience and then given a white slip with a case number/email address and asked to email his resume/CV for further processing. He was told it would take 7 days to process his application.
I tried searching for similar cases on various forums and found some cases but couldn't find information on how long they took to approve the visa. So I was just wondering if anybody here has any further updates on such cases. Appreciate any feedback.
TIA.

First of all you would need a visa to visit UK.
I don't think Malaysian nationals residing legally in US and travelling to UK need a visitor visa...But I am not sure if UK visa law considers pending I-485 (AOS) a valid status....If you still maintain a valid H1 status but plan to re-enter on AP, you should be ok in my view...

Hi - i am converting my L1 to F1 which will cover me for 2.5 years. In the field i am working in, there is a high probability i will be able to find work before the degree is finished. Is it usual for big employers to already have H1 visas to sponser you on, or do they have to start from scratch. Im really trying to find out how easy it would be for a prospective employer to hire me after. (yes i am aware that one is supposed to return back to their country of origin)

No. But the employer can file for 1 Year extension if there was a Labour or PERM was filed and it's pending. If I140 is approved and waiting for I485, employer can file for 3 year extension.

1. The title noted on the labor form was "Associate". On the job description letter, is it ok if the title is noted as "Financial Associate Analyst". Plus my labor was approved as IS Manager. Would the "financial" title cause a problem?
2. My lawyer put a very generic sentence as my job description. Does my job experience letter have to have the exact same generic sentence in it? and is it ok if the letter has more duties on it other than the one mentioned on the labor form (i did different stuff at that job, finance, IT, sales etc)
3. My lawyer put the required degree on the labor form as "Computer Science". However; I have a MIS degree. Is that going to be a problem when applying for i140?
It is surprizing that generic description of a job got through Labor without any questions. There is no clear answer to your questions. General principle is that jobs description should be more or less same as in Labor application. If your Labor was approved as IS Manager with your title to be an Associate, your job is expected to be of management type. Analyst job seems to be a technical job. Clear these issues before your employer filing for your 140 proceeds.

We are in regular contact with Senator Conrad's office and iv-physicians has a seat on the physicians task force that has been working on this. As you well know the environment is toxic towards any immigration relief but efforts are ongoing nevertheless.
Please join the physicians chapter for further information. See the link in my signature. As a reminder- this is a closed group that works with sensitive information, make sure you provide your name and telephone number, e mail for contact and general info about immigration status, practice etc.

I have my labor cleared and 140 applied in 2007. Later in 2007 I had filed for 485 based on the pending 140 application and received EAD as well. But the 140 was denied later due to ineligibility to file on EB2 and a new one I140 was applied in EB2 refering the pending 485 application and the same old labor. This I140 has been pending since last few years and my attorney only received a letter stating it is under review, when a SR was raised. Meanwhile I have received EAD and AP extensions properly based on the pending 485.
I would like to apply 140 again from a different company using the old labor and refering the pending 485 application sine i am currently on EAD using the pending 485 application.
Questions
1. Can i do that?
2. If so, what documents would i need from my company to process this.
1. What is the point in applying EB2 again for the same labor when you are not eligible. It will be denied sooner or later. Either you should have applied in EB3 I-140 or should have started a new labor process. You just wasted your time.
2. No you can not apply for new I-140 with new employer when the labor belongs to different employer

Hello everybody ! I am 22 years old. My parents had applied for GC under the employment based category. I, unfortunately, aged out before my parents applied I-140 because of the stupid backlogs. So I aged out even before an I-140 was filed. I was reading the Child protection act info and could not understand if I will be "automatically classified to the appropriate category" for GC which is Family 2B and retain my "original PD." Does this apply to me as I had not even filed I-140 when I aged out ? My parent's PD is Oct 2000 so does this mean I am under Family 2B with Oct 2000 PD ?? Please help me out. I am sure many of you with sons/daughters that are in a similar situation. Thanks
My son also aged out before my I140 was filed. I was told that he would not be able to keep the same priority date and it would be fixed by the date when I could apply for his family based application. So, if I were to file an I130 next week his priority date would be March 2008.
In order for the priority date to be fixed at the point when labor certification was applied for the I140 would have to be submitted before his 21st birthday and be approved within a time period that could be deducted from his age at time of approval, making him under 21 at that time.
The child status protection act is pretty useless to children in your position or my son's since the big delay occurred in the labor cert stage.
If however, you can find a different interpretation of this situation feel free to send me a personal message and I will follow through as well.
There are a number of members in IV whose children aged out so while this is not a prevalent subject matter it is one that affects more people than you might realize.

Hi All,
I just received an RFE for my I140 which says:
-----------------------------------------------------
The ETA Form 9089 you provided indicates a requirement for a Master's or Bachelor's degre in a certain field of study.
Submit evidence that the alien obtained the required Masters or Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Computer Science, January 24, 2007. Evidence of education must be in the form of an official record showing the dates of attendance, area of concentration of study, and date of degree award, if any.
The job offered is for a software enigineer.
You have submitted a copy of a Masters Degree of Technology in Polymer Science and Technology and of the Bachelor's degree is in the discipline of Chemical Engineering with Speciality in Polymer Technology. If you have not been granted a Masters or Bachelors in the required field, provide proof that your degree(s) has the same elements as a Masters or Bachelors in the required field(s).
-----------------------------------------------------
How to proof that my degree(s) have same elements as a Masters or Bachelors in the required field(s) - the required fields being 'Engineering or Computer Science'? I think the confusion is because the title of my degree is 'Master of Technology' and not 'Master of Engineering'... same with Bachelors.. it is 'Bachelor of Technology' and not 'Bachelor of Engineering'. Anybody from India knows they are almost same. But how to prove it to INS?
Please reply ASAP so that I have time to execute the suggested steps. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance...

Hello,
Assuming a 40 hr/week position, a person works 2080 hours per year. The Annual Salary for a $46/hr position is $95680/year.
Also, if you only have annual salary for the new position, you could convert to hourly by dividing by 2080.
But I wouldn't even worry about all this. Just send in the annual salary figure (just for your own satisfaction make sure it is more than $46 per hour) and USCIS will figure out the rest.
Hope that helps.
