Hello - I have a unique situation. I'm currently in the US on H1B, and my fiance is in India working for a reputed software company. We are planning to get married by end of April.
I want her to come to US on a work visa (hopefully H1B). I got to know that to make the FY09 H1B cap, she has to apply for H1B on Apr 1 2008, and wait till Oct 1 to travel if her visa gets approved. But since we are getting married by end of April, I don't want her to stay in India till October while I'm here.
The other option I was thinking was to apply for her H1B on Apr 1, but still go ahead and apply for H4 in early May, so that she can travel on H4 in May. And once her H1 is approved, she would already be in the US and can start working from Oct 1. Is this possible? Will this plan create any problems for her H4 or H1 visa application?
If the above does not work, what are my other options? If I miss the Apr 1 2008 deadline, the next earliest she can apply for H1 is Apr 1 2009, and work from Oct 1 2009 - and I don't want to wait that long.
Another option is to get married before Apr, get her to US on H4 before Apr, and apply for change of status to H1 on Apr 2008. But the marriage plans for Apr is made and to push the dates back would not be easy.
Any help in this matter is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Papers: 1st author 3, other 7
Conference/Posters: 1st author 3, other 13
Recommendation letters: 7
Just by having papers or reco letters is not good enough for NIW. Infact NIW is made tougher in recent times. Proving that work is in national interest in the most difficult part and cases are rejected due to this reason. If you are from India NIW would only save you couple of months of PERM work. EB2 is retrogressed. NIW was useful when labor certifications used to take sevaral years. If you are from india and you think you are really extraordinary and exceptional in your field, then go EB1. It is current now.if you have to apply in EB2 only then use the perm process. It is fast now.

Hi Becks,
Thank you so much. I am much relieved now. So, As long as I work for the sponsoring employer(even though the labor location is different) is it ok to file Ac-21 and move to another employer.? My impression was that I was obliged to work for that exact position(the one on the labor) to prove the 'intent'.
Thanks.

That layout didn't take long to make at all. I didn't add any detail yet. It's a work in progress :)
BUT, I am a beginner and am just trying to learn photoshop and do something useful at the same time.

It is 1 million reen cards every year. If you add up family based, lottery, asylum EB etc., it all comes to around 1 million.
Out of 140K EB green cards, only half the green cards actually go to high skilled immigrants. The other half go to the spouses and children of high skilled immigrants. So out of 140K, less than half of these green cards are actually allocated to the high skilled EB immigrants.

Hello,
Can Team-IV go to USCIS as a group to ask them to clear the I140s pending quickly. This way, we can ask CIS to follow the FIFO rule.
If they can clear 100+K I129s in 6 months, Why can't they do the same for I140s??. I think there are about
135K pending I140s in CIS (Source immigration-law.com).
That would equate to 340K I485s pending. Even if I consider 10% as duplicates(No Source, just estimate), we will still get about 300K I1485s in the processing queue. This way, everybody will know which category is backlogged and plan accordingly.
As an Individual, we also will have one of the stage completed and be eligible for longer extension of stay etc.
Any suggestions???

Hello,
Honesty is almost always the best option.... here would be my answers:
1. I came to US for work and have found US to offer challenging work environment full of opportunities. After working for 6 years, I would like to upgrade my skillset and hence, the decision to go for education
2. In this global economy, it is hard to plan exact details, but I believe that with my US experience and added education, I should find a rewarding position anywhere in the world
3. I've attached the papers of my home in Pakistan where I intend to return in the long run, but most probably I'll have to move to the place where I'm offered the job after my education
Of course, there is no gurantee that the USCIS will respond positively to honesty, but at least your friend's conscious will always be clear.... good luck to her!
