what are the complications of applying to eb2 if there is only 3 year degree bachelor degree? Have a masters degree from Singapore - will that be enough to qualify?
IMO there is a good chance you will qualify for EB2. When doing educational evaluation, you should base your claim on your masters degree. That way you would qualify.

Your understanding is wrong. 6 years in H1B only considered. They don't count period on L1,L2,H4 etc....
See the link.

USCIS Memo Time in H4 and L2 Status No Longer Counts Towards H1 or L1 Time - Law Firm Litwin & Associates, A Law Corporation Attorneys South San Francisco, California (http://www.litwinlaw.com/CM/ImportantAnnouncements/USCIS-Memo-Time.asp)
As I understand, the 6 yrs time period includes the time spent on any type of H visa - H1 or H4.

I know that there are too many threads open initiating new campaigns, and asking the IV administrators to make the threads sticky. However there is something that we can demand as part of administrative reforms at USCIS, without any need for congressional relief.
When any type of application reaches USCIS, it kinda goes into a black hole. Unless there is a decision on the application, all an applicant do is to cross the figures, and hope that the outcome will be favorable. Worst, sometimes people with later priority date get the approval, and the all a victim with pretty much straight forward case can do is self consolation.
We all know that there is a USCIS case login page, which allows us to create a portfolio and track the case approval. But the information provided by this site is really basic (Informing the applicant that the application was received on such and such date, and its pending for processing at our processing center). Why can't we ask USCIS to improve this portal, so that an applicant can view the details of the case like FP, background check result, priority date, associated 140 status, etc. I am giving this example for a 485 application, but this service can be provided for all other types of cases like H1B, EAD, AP, 140, 485, Labor Certification, etc.
BTW, I saw a note on immigration-law.com, and according to them its a just four (yes only four) member team which is managing their information technology at USCIS. On a lighter note, I feel like creating an Open Source software consortium which will develop the software to add in efficient case processing and better services, where USCIS can download the source code to enable faster deployment of customer services portals.
Anyway, fun apart, I think we should start a campaign to get more meaningful information from customer portal: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp
This way the case processing would be more transparent, an applicant will have more information about the case, the number of phone calls USCIS receive will go down substantially, and people like us will have much more peace of mind. I was wondering if we can come up with a case status detail page, that contains majority of info/updates we applicants want to see. It should not be difficult to compile such information. So meanwhile, when nothing much is expected from Congress on legal immigration relief, at least USCIS can provide this type of service improvement. Any ideas, criticism, pros and cons of such thing?

You can still get a 1 year extension claiming that your PERM application is still pending. It all depends on the officer that the decision has not been made on PERM application.
The PERM is already denied and you can not get the extension based on the denied PERM.

As they just started I-140 premium processing, I wonder why they cannot initiate 3rd stage premium processing.
I wouldn't mind spending a couple thousand dollars if I can get the actual green card in a couple of weeks after starting the 3rd stage. Time is money. If I can buy it, I will buy it.
I don't think it is very constructive to repeat the same story to the congress, which they are not tuned to. We'd better make various suggestions from many different angles so that they can pick at least some of them in a timely manner.

here are the visa numbers used in 2006 for EB2 and EB3.
EB-2: India(3,720), China(3,347), Canada(1,248)
EB-3 Skilled: Mexico(6,766), Korea(4,375), Philippines(4,114), Ecuador(3,747), Brazil(3,670), Poland(3,230), India(3,006), China(2,477), Pakistan(2,091)
Assuming there are atleast 300K Indians waiting for visa numbers in the EB2 + EB3 category (including dependents) and 6726 out of them were covered last year, we will have to wait for just another 44 years and 7 months to get an immigrant visa number. LOL
If everything goes well as planned atleast GC is assured for our children ( for some like me - grand children) .

The following attracted me.
- only toefl required. no gre/gmat required.
- low fees (with sponsored tuition option)
- detc accretion (legal, not a diploma mill)
- no residency required.
Other than that it is not a famous university. I believe it is not in any ranking what so ever.
more details.
http://www.aju.edu/Admissions/catalog.pdf
They offer specialization on sales, strategy, finance, hr, health services and marketing.
I am just thinking about applying. Not decided yet.
This is interesting. Do you know more about the program ?
The website has very little info. They want $75 fee to get started.
Is there info on who offers the degree, how many courses need to be taken, how long does it take etc ?

Hi All,
I am here in US on a H1B and my wife is on a H4. She recently got admission to a graduate school and has to start next week. I am worried that if I get her COS for the next semester (this is a 1 year program), then woud she be eligible to get her OPT at the end of the program? She would have been on a F1 for less than a year, but would have completed the Master's program.
I tried to get more information, but what I saw was that the OPT eligiblility requirement is atleast 1 full academic year on F1. Is this correct?
Help is greatly appreciated.

Can any answer this question or put our thoughts on this?
Now all EB categories being current most of us are applying for 485 so how does the Approval process work?
Is it the first come first out or
It depends on the Priority Date?

Few things:
1. The inventory of Pending I485 is not reliable.
2. If they approve all pending EB2 it means they have to move the PD forward and as they move the PD, new applications will be filed. There are thousands of EB2 labor approved and they are waiting to file I-485
3. Even if there is any spillover to EB3, nobody knows how USCIS will give those spillover number, will they go to EB3-ROW first or they will go as per the PD of Individuals regardless of Country of Origin.

whether you are in h1 or h4, it is important you maintain 'good standing' of whatever status you are in. if u dont have a job, change to H4, so that ur earlier h1 record remains clean (as long as u had H1, u got paid and have proof of pay /employment experience)
when you get ur offer down the line, if that company sponsors h1 for you, at that time theyll collect ur experience letters and proof and go for the H1. if the h1 sponsor is a different company, Im do not really think it is treated as a "renewal" since ur status as H1 has ended when u changed to H4. It may be treated as a "fresh h1 sponsor/transfer" for you.
However, you do not have to worry about the annual h1 quota in ur case even tho u have lost ur H1 status. you are included in the exception clause - "Those beneficiaries not subject to the annual quota are those who currently hold H-1B status or have held H-1B status at some point in the past six years and have not been outside the United States for more than 365 consecutive days"
so basically, according to me, if ur employment record is clean and if the new sponsor's requirements meets proper H1 guidelines, you can get back on H1.
im not an attorney..so the regular warning applies!

As per the new visa bulletin, my PD (Mar/26/2006) goes current from 1/September.
My husband is the primary applicant on the case with me and son as dependents.
485s submitted in Sep/2007. We received RFE for my son application and replied, we received update from USCIS that it reached them in July/2009.
USCIS web case status shows 'initial review' for me and my husband, 'RFE response review' for my son.
As we filed together, does this mean that all three applications were processed and RFE was required only for my son?
Thanks for all your inputs, being a great help.

Hello,
I am an Indian living and working in Gurgaon, India, and my wife is an American citizen. We're planning to apply for my GC and move to the US sometime next year but an opportunity has come up in my organization allowing me to take up a long-term assignment (on an L1 visa) in the US within the next 3-4 months.
I'm not sure whether it would be better for me to just take a GC right now (in which case, would my organization even have the option to apply for an L1 for me?) or should I take an L1 and go to the US whenever the opportunity materializes and then apply for my GC there?
I'm not sure about the pros and cons of both options and would really appreciate some advice although I shall be thinking about it some more on my own as well.
Thank you.

From Politico: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to push for a vote during the lame-duck session on a bill that would legalize young, undocumented immigrants if they attend college or serve in the military, according to Democratic sources familiar with a leadership conference call Wednesday. A vote on the bill, known as the DREAM Act, could come as early as next week, the sources said. Pelosi asked Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) and Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) to assess the mood of the caucus, according to one source. The vote on DREAM is probably easier in the Lame Duck House given...

Hi,
I recently received EAD and my I-140 approved an year ago . I am waiting for the 180 days count down to be over. but my question here is after 180 days if i want to use AC21 , do we really need to have the I-140 apporval copy or receipt number bcz it is still with my employer and they are not going to share with the me for sure. But it got approved and year ago for me.
Also is there any way i can get the receipt number of I140 by calling the USCIS ?
Please help!
