Hi,
My wife needs to change her status from H4 to H1 as soon as possible (before 31st of March). Her current status is -
- H4 on passpost (expiring on 19th March)
- H4 extension approved till 2010
- She has an H1B approved till 2010 (no I94 with the approval notice as it was done when she was in India)
What are our options? These are what we know with pros/cons. Please add/correct.
1. Go for stamping to India.
This looks like the safest option as this is first time stamping. Both Mumbai and Delhi have 31st as first dates available for appt. Chennai is open but we have heard rejection rate is high. Please comment.
2. Go for stamping to Canada
She does not have a US degree and we have heard that first time stamping is difficult without it.
3. Stamping in Mexico
We have heard that first time stamping is generally not recommended.
4. Change of Status within USA
This is the easiest but will take much longer, at least 3 months or so.
Any suggestions are welcome. Please let us know as we are trying to formulate a plan so we can minimize rejection risk and get H1 stamp/COS before 31st.
thanks!

In my opinion filing TWO application does not seem right choice. What if both get approved ? Do you get two cards each ? What if there is a collision in their database and raises flags ??
Using one PD that best suites you seems to be the right way.
Or file independently with no dependents (less likely to fly with most)

and why do you think those courses are not taught in a foreign country?
yeah, because in that foreign country, people design some stupid GUI for that router, which obviously doesn't need assembly level programming for packet processing, so why waste money on teaching it?
(not to be taken in a literal sense, no offense to GUI developers, they have their own level of complexity and skill set).
So why do you abhor ALP so much?
If you written any firmware, you will know, for some devices, it looks and feels like an assembly level code only.

Please refer to news below
Based on this..
1) USCIS cannot be holding the applications for too long.
2) The receipt number would be faster now and we do not have to worry when huge number of application will go in WHEN they revert their July 2 bulletin.
----------------------------------------------------------
New Direct Filing Instructions for Certain USCIS Forms
Petitioners and applicants are advised that new Direct Filing requirements come into effect July 30, 2007. USCIS says it will not reject cases filed in the prior filing location for 30 days after the new instructions go in to effect, that is, through August 29, 2007. This is true as long as the forms are accompanied by the proper filing fees and otherwise meet the filing requirements.
Note that on and after August 29, 2007, USCIS will reject cases filed in the wrong locations.
Direct filing will be implemented for the following forms: I-129F (Petition for Alien Fianc�(e)); Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document); I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker); I-360 (Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant); I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status); I-765, Application for Employment Authorization); I-907 (Request for Premium Processing).
USCIS says it will issue revised filing instructions shortly. Meanwhile, in order to help the public determine the proper direct filing location, USCIS has developed a series of filing charts and posted them on its web site at www.uscis.org at the forms information page.
The above affected forms filed with the new direct filing locations prior to July 30, 2007 will NOT be rejected.

Finally...I just got an e-mail notification that my 485 application was approved. It has been 11 year long journey.
I was a donor member for 2.5 yrs, was a member of advocacy day for the last two years. Thanks to IV for all the help especially during the last year EAD expedite process. Good luck to everyone.
NO SR, NO INFOPASS...just waited patiently.

I want to add 'Family and Relatives pressure' in addition to 'Peer Pressure'. When I visited India lasttime, I was asked by almost all the relatives if We had bought a house. It has become an indication if we are doing well (earning well). After a while, i felt little bit uneasy to say that we did not buy house while many of our cousins already did. thats family pressure.
Other than for monetary reasons, there is a small group of people, who do not buy house even if they can afford to and live in apartments
- still not decided where to settle down,
- want to move to warm place, but just not yet due to job,
- think it is lonely to live in a big house with unfamiliar neighbors.
- have small kids, takes lot of time to meet their needs after work, daycare. cannot take the burden of maintaining a big house.

Peer pressure
Lets take fictitious families R & S living in the same rented community with similar back ground. Mr and Mrs R decide to buy a home and they buy one. Mr S does not think it is right for them to do so. How ever, Mrs S pressures Mr S into doing so. Believe me this happens all the time.

Where would I be able to find a USCIS approved physcian??..I think you need to get some kind of letter from him??..
Plz tell me how to locate??..any web site links
Here is the link:
https://egov.immigration.gov/crisgwi/go;jsessionid=cxFY_8R7Zuo7?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=CIV
Enter your zip code and find the doctor. Once the medical exam is done, the physician will give you two medical reports, an open one for you and a sealed report for USCIS you should submit with your 485 documents

I think we are not reaching all the ppl that we can as of yet. If we can setup booths in front of Indian Community centers in various cities, post flyers at Indian grocery stores etc, we would be able to reach a much wider audience. I think we might be reaching the maximum number of ppl that would contribute who are browsing this web site. No amount of requests would get non-contributers to contribute. So, probably the efforts should be concentrated on getting newer members from outside...
Yes this is definately a good idea and will help us reach many people unaware of IV. We represent about a million people stuck in retrogression and have only got 8500 of them.
Pls help us with these efforts by executing your ideas in your own state. Once you start, and tell others what you are doing I am sure many others will follow you. You will find posters and flyers in resources section of this website.

EB2 will move to 2005, but not as fast as you think. See these IV polls:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6266
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6128
again a small sample and possibly statistically invalid; but 50% of people waiting for GC from EB2-India have PD < March_2005.
why? Most people past 2005 have actively tried for EB2. Either by abandoning earlier filings and doing a fresh one in PERM, or by trying to recapture them.
In 2001 no one cared if your LC was filed in EB2 or EB3. From 2005 onwards people are actively looking for EB2.
If 50% of people from India have PD < 2005, all the more reason that EB3 would move forward!

There are thousands of anecdotes that I could share. My best is the look of shock on one of the IV member's face when I asked him to escort one of the lawmakers who attended the Monday evening reception dinner. We couldn't believe that we see him on C-Span and he is standing next to us and supporting our cause.
- Can you imagine the feeling when a lawmakers says I know about you guys. You are doing a good job. This shows we are visible in the Hill.
- I felt great when I saw the confidence on the smiling faces of IV members when they came out of lawmakers meetings. For those who missed this historic opportunity, I can't even begin to explain the change in mindset from the initial apprehension about visiting a lawmaker's office to, "Why do I only have three meetings set up, I want to fill in for others IV members who might not have shown up due to various reasons"
For those demanding immediate results when they themselves might not have showed up at the rally the answer is, we will get our green cards eventually. There is absolutely no doubt about that in my mind but these experiences and memories will be cherished for a long time. This is also important to me. This new "experience capital" which was initially present among just the core members has trickled down to other members, we are growing in strength and reach our goal soon.
I am glad I went for three days. I wish I could stay longer.
