1. Is it is consulting job? If yes then it does not matter. If it is a full time job, go for stability. You need to hold on to your job for quite a while.
2 "Consider" is a dangerous word. Have them give you in writing when would they start the process. If they are not giving you in writing, believe me, they will never start the process.
3. It is random. Consulting jobs tend to get more RFE.
Good Luck.
I got laid off recently.
Now got job with 2 companies. 1 small and 1 big. 3 questions:
(1) Should I select based on my salary? Big company offers more salary.
(2) I have to now start Greencard again. So should I choose big company or small ? Both said they will consider sponsoring if performance is good.
(3) If I transfer H1B Is Big company likely to get RFE or small?

What was your own LC PD? Nothing personal just out of curiosity...
LC Sub/EB2 with PD June 2001 filed on July 27 with RD of Sept 8 got approved y'day. 140 filed on July 5th was approved on jan. no RFE, all were smooth.
I was afraid because of my last years on L1B and filed H1b though this year quota and not sure if i'm lucky to have a number lottery. This gave me major relaxation.
Best of luck you all.
Had 1 Soft LUD on Jan 31 on 485 application.
USCIS is doing a great job thank to IV to make these possible.

123,
Yes. U have to file a G28 for ur spouse. I am in a similar situ and am in the process of doing so myself.
As for the actual porting, did u do an H-1 transfer or did u start at ur new company using ur EAD? If u did transfer over ur H-1 did u wait until u got the actual USCIS receipt to start work?
Does anyone know what what legal expenses one might ...once form G-28 is filed for a new lawyer to represent an applicant (I-140 has been approved and I-485 was filed more than 180 days ago)??
Hi All,
I have used AC21 to switch employers. I also changed attorney using G28.
Do I need to file G28 for my spouse as well for the new attorney?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

IV Members from Nebraska,
I think it is time we started our own chapter in NE and get the action going. Members from Nebraska, please respond.
Yes that's the spirit. Starting off is difficult but you only need a few dedicated members to get the ball rolling, and motivate others. We have members in different parts of NC, and we are able to get a lot of things done on the phone or internet.
You can start by creating a google or yahoo group, and verify member information (name, contact info and such) as you sign them up.
All the best.

Hi there,
I am working for a small Indian consulting company with 60-70 employes. My H1b expires on Sep 30 2009 and initial extension for next 3 years was filed on a regular processing on May 13th and moved to premium processing on Jul 27th. I was working with an insurance client at the time it was filed and expedited thru premium processing. I also mentioned the client name and address at the time of filing extn.
Now I got below RFE asking for a supervisor name from the client (they also mentioned client's name in RFE)
1)The project name the beneficiary is assigned to
2)Whether there is a vendor through whom the beneficiary's services are provided;
3)The name of the vendor appilicable;
4)Whether the end client or the vendor supervises the beneficiary;
5)The name, title, contact information of the person who primarily supervises or will supervise the beneficiary at the worksite;
6)Whether the worksite has the ability to assign the beneficiary to a different employer.
The day I received RFE the contract between my company and end client came to surprise end(FATE!!).
Here are my Questions:
1) One of the major Indian software company is ready to give me offer and take me as their employee in US. Can I withdraw my petition thru my employer and ask Indian company to apply for a transfer before Sep 30th?
2) what will be the success rate of transfer after withdrawal? and consequences in my future GC processing ?
3) What if my employer withdraws petition and files new petition mentioning that I am working on in-house project. We have some work at in house too.
4) My employer also looking for other clients and hopefully I will get one soon. a) In this case Can I withdraw the petition and apply a new one with a new client information? b) or Respond the current RFE with new client details and explnation. (I heard that USCIS don't entertain this.)
5) what is the better option to get the extension approved out of above all? New suggestions also welcome
Thanks in advance.

The purchase of a piece of property in America, a single-family house, a PUD (planned unit development) or a condo (flat within a condominium) will guarantee you and your family a green card. This is one of the extreme measures implemented to help stall the meteoric fall of the United States economy in light of the economic crisis, Bulgarian weekly Stroitelstvo Gradut reported on January 15.
Thirty-five accredited investors will have the opportunity to acquire real estate in the south-eastern state of Florida � by purchasing a house � they will be granted a green card for permanent residence and right of employment for the buyer himself and his/her entire family.
Additional conditions are that the prospective buyer must have a clean criminal record, a good credit record, the ability to present and prove a decent monthly income, and no outstanding financial obligations or credit liabilities. The purchase itself can be done either with cash, bank transfer or monthly instalments, but the financial resource must be proven legitimate.
The US government has allocated 10 000 such visas nation-wide for potential investors in real esate, under a programme approved by the US Congress. Florida's is the first such programme that has actively been given the green light to commence. Specialists in the field argue that this is the best time to invest and purchase property in America, as prices in some states have been slashed by as much as 25 per cent. Experts argue that within three years' time, however, the market will stabilise and prices will rise.

Your wife can start school pending H4 to F1 COS but you cannot change to F2 until her F1 is approved. It is much easier for you to apply F1-COS and simultaneously apply F2 for your wife but the caveat with this is your F1 might not be approved as USCIS expects you to maintain status until you get their decision which in this case you won't.

Hi,
My wife and I are currently working on EAD and have used the AP to entry the US. We will be going to the Canadian consulate to apply for Canadian Visa (want to go on vacation). I had the following questions:-
1) What all papers are required?
2) How long will they issue the canadian visa for? I am planning on obtaining a multiple entry visa. When I was on H1 they issued me a visa which was till the end of my H1 expiration date.
Thanks.
Sorry to be sarcastic but , does your question requires a thread ? simple search in google and canada embassy will answer all your questions .

There is a story in the Oct 6 Wall Street Journal on high skilled immigration reform. If anyone has a subscription to that, pl. post for the benefit of members...
OpinionJournal's Political Diary
Who leaked the Foley emails and why?; industries seeking more high-skill immigrants pin their hopes on Congress's lame duck session; new film debunks the hypocrisy of anti-development greenies. (Click to Subscribe)
2:30 p.m. EDT
http://www.opinionjournal.com/
=======
Seperately, the Economist has a 15-page report on the "Global Hunt for Talent". It specifically highlights how restrictive immigration quotas for skilled workers are hurting US competitiveness and how other western nations are racheting up their efforts to lure skilled foreigners.
http://www.economist.com/surveys/displaystory.cfm?story_id=7961938
Here are some excerpts
Most governments are easing restrictions on the entry of skilled workers. Some are going further and offering incentives. Germany has made it easier for skilled workers to get visas. Britain has offered more work permits for skilled migrants. France has introduced a “scientist visa”. Many countries are making it easier for foreign students to stay on after graduating. Canada and Australia have not only tilted their long-established points systems further towards the skilled, they have also introduced more incentives. Australia and New Zealand have created a ladder leading from universities to the workforce and then to permanent residence.
Two economists, Fr�d�ric Docquier and Hillel Rapoport, estimate that average emigration rates worldwide are 0.9% for the low-skilled, 1.6% for the medium-skilled and 5.5% for the high-skilled. These rates have been accelerating far faster for the high-skilled group than for the rest. Skilled immigrants accounted for more than half of all admissions in Australia, Canada and New Zealand in 2001. The global war for talent is likely to intensify. Most developed countries are already struggling to find enough doctors and teachers, and are wondering how they will manage when the baby-boomer generation retires. Developing countries, for their part, realise that they will not be able to plug into the global knowledge economy unless they give their people the freedom to move around.

Your questions are valid....but either way, you must enter US ASAP on your AP (or have someone mail ytou your GC). The issue is that you are NOT totally free once you get GC because immediately leaving your sponsoring employer is a no-no and can cause your GC to be revoked or be an issue at the time of citizenship. It is advisable to stick to the employer for 6mts to 1 year after GC - if the employer is still functioning. Also, USCIS has increased employment place visits for recent GC approvals. :)
Thanks for your answer!^^

Arent you allowed to apply for OPT only after you express ur desire to "graduate"?
if that is the case that means you have completed ur studies.
The other option would be enroll for a second MS...and try to go find a job on CPT?
i would not travel out on a OPT...
if you really want to travel...travel when ur F1 is valid.
Hi,
My F1 visa (I got 2 yr student visa for Fall 2007) expires in May 2009. I applied for OPT and starting date is June 1st 2009. Since my F1 visa stamping is expiring, what is my possibility of visiting India after May ’09? Is there any possibility of extending my F1 Visa for another couple of yrs without leaving the country and continue on my OPT? Or any other suggestions? Please help me..
