The Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) issued an August 20, 2009 press release, reporting a decline in offers of admission from U.S. graduate schools to prospective foreign students. This is the first decline in the rate of offers to foreign students since 2004.
While these significant reductions affected the overall decline in foreign student enrollment, the number of offers of admission to students from the People's Republic of China grew at a rate of 13 percent. The CGS press release indicates that this was the fourth year in a row of double-digit growth in the number of students from China offered admission to U.S. graduate schools.
With the up coming biggest education Expo in China (http://www.phdchina.org/english/index.shtml), the US is the country of Honour at this show. This is a clear sign that Chinese students are looking at the US as the main destination for studies and future opportunities.
There is a significant economic contribution made by foreign students in tuition and related expenditures, as well. Generally, a foreign student is required to pay tuition at the much higher out-of-state rate, even when attending a state school. The potential of Chinese students boosting the economy is significant and should not be ignored. Even Consular officers realize this factor and student visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137176.html) issuance to Chinese students has increased by 40% according to a recent survey.

ask to see if ur company can support the original GC application also. If they will provide you documentation that you mention in the 3rd point you should be fine.
Your company attorney's should be able to guide you more.
I think this is no different that using an EAD to switch jobs. You can continue working on H1B also - provided your company sees no need to file amended H1B .

It will be great if any IV Guru can shed some light.
I am currently on EAD working to company B after invoking AC21 for past 1 year. Thinking of starting GC processing with current company.
So I asked my old company A to give me a copy of my approved I-140. He sent me a courtesy copy. Since i read in forums that copy of the original not courtesy is required, I sent a mail to Lawyer CC'ing my old company and I got a reply from the lawyer that he did not pay the lawyer fee. OfCourse like any desi company my old company collected lawyer fee from me. I am sure he will not pay it and already he stuck me in EB3 after promising EB2. SO I am pondering on my options.
Does any one know if I can use the courtesy copy of I-140 to proceed with my new GC process?
I read from one other forum I can use FOIA(Freedom of Information Act) and get a copy of I-140, but it will take minimum of 8 months.

Good evening,
I am currently in the United States and in the process of changing my Q1 into a F1 visa.
My contract with the Q1 visa unexpedently ended in June 2009 and the visa was expiring on the 17th of september 2009.
I sent the file with all the papers to the USCIS before the end of the expiration date and is still in process at this time.
I heard that i can not exceed the period of 180 days after my last day of work with my Q1 Visa.. Is this true ?
I was thinking by the time i filed everything before the end of my Q1 visa, i could stay in the United States until the approval or denial of my F1 visa...
if this is true :
1. Do I have to wait in France for the answer of the USCIS, or my case will be cancelled and I have to start all oveer again in France ?
2. If I do not stay more than 180 days, going back to France and coming back for exemple 1 week after to the US with a tourist visa, am I able to change my status to F-1 ?
3. If i receive an approval answer from USCIS after a few days that I've been back in France, will it be valid ? Can it be sent to me ?
4. Do I have to get a new I-20 from the university if I am starting the process in France, or the one that I have is still valid ?
Could you help me please, beause i am confused...:confused:
Thanking you by advance for your answer

My I140 is approved and my I485/EAD/AP was applied last month and nothing is approved yet.
The company finances are not looking good , if I lose the job then what would happen to my GC application. I am hoping to get EAD before company pulls the wire on me though.
What would be my best options. Please reply ASAP

Hi, I just joined the group. Is there anything scheduled so far?
I also have an immigration question.
My employer filed the PERM with EB-2 in September 2007. It was audited in November. Still waiting. I have the fear I could get laid off. If this will happen before the Labor Department approval, and before the 1-year renezaw of my H1-B (exp. Sept.08), what will happen? Do I loose everything?
Thanks for your support.

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/Pinocchio.jpgBorder guards are not known to be the friendliest people in Federal service. The immigration attorneys at Fong & Chun in Los Angeles routinely hear stories of border guards shouting at aliens who are telling the truth, bluntly telling aliens, "you are lying to me," or asking in a hostile manner, "why are you lying to me?" The border guards do this, even when they do not really think someone is lying. They do it to destabilize or disturb the alien, to get the alien to make an error or say something wrong. Basically, it is a trap.
Recently, Alan Bersin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Bersin), the commissioner of US Customs and Border Protection (http://www.cbp.gov/) -- the head of all the border guards -- told Congress (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j07I9Bw4Q1kxusXReW4qAjNPdR2AD9FM4S300) that he did not know he was required to fill out and keep Federal paperwork to verify that his household employees had the right to work in the USA.
Bersin is the head of US Customs and Border Protection.
Bersin is a former California Secretary of Education.
Bersin is a former US Attorney.
Bersin went to Harvard and Yale.
Bersin says he had no idea he had to follow the law?
Why is he lying to us?

Hi,
I have received the EAD card yesterday with No finger prints available. But we have done our Finger printing before the EAD is approved. Approx 4 weeks before.
Is this normal? Or i should contact USCIS about this?
I know some applicants getting their EAD cards before finger prints were taken for them No finger prints available makes sense.
Any responses are appreciated

If I were you I would just get a new exam done and submit it. Also, you should explain that you DID submit it in the first place and send the sealed envelope again. What do you have to lose if you send 2 medicals? Hanging on to the sealed one you have does not gain anything.
About envelope being huge? Well, no regulation says that you cannot send any envelope greater than 11x17. That would be just plain stupid if they rejected because of envelope size, and I seriously doubt they would do that. Thinking about it, it would be funny to see someone chest xray pop out of an 11x17 envelope :)

Amitga,
Iam in a similar situation as Ihitha. Iam planning to go to Chennai in June for stamping. Which answer do you think would be a convincing one for that question asked by the VO ?
Also after changing from L1 to H1, i had my H1 transferred between 3 companies (i changed jobs within a span of 1 month), and the current employer iam working for, iam working for about 1 year and 3 months. When i go for stamping, would they be asking for paystubs from those two companies, or does it matter only with the latest company iam working for ?
It wouldd be great if someone can help me with some suggestions.

Hi Folks,
Can anyone please shed some light :
--I have EAD and 485 pending. My current status is H1B. But if I use my EAD without marriage...
--Later I get married and I cannot bring her here, but if I wait until my PD becomes current and at which point of time my spouse can be added to 485, so does my spouse need to maintain a valid non-immigrant status to be added to my 485 since she will be out of US.
Thanks,
iruk

The key might be that your current employer should be able to give you some kind of letter that details your job duties, etc.
If this letter can allude to the duties in your original labor that's all your attorney would need to make your case.

Hi,
I am a july 2 filer and I am in the same boat. I did call uscis and usually they give us the same answer that says we received your application on so and so and we will work on this. this is the latest and greatest information we have. I tried a different combination and found that my application has been moved to STORAGE facility. I am in the process of retriving that by sending Expedite request from lawyer.
Try this combination to know the status of your application.

This will connect you to immigration information officer who has access to the database and he can give you a good picture about your application.All the best

I am suggesting we should write to White House and to the Ben Bernanke in Mass and draw their attention towards a million people waiting for their green cards, logically they should have already got it(10 years waiting is illogical) but if USCIS use Visa recapture these people can get green cards and green cards to these people means a million new house buyers in the market new cars buyers etc etc. Everybody is going to get green card one day, why not now..That will help bail out the housing market. I'm sure it'll strike a cord with the lawmakers as it will benefit them politically....
