its back to the same question: IS MBA worth the time and money!

facing stagnation ..in our eternal wait for GC...what are the risks of not pursuing an MBA in you want to further or change ur career later on!

its not all bad to pursue PT..provided u make the right concentration choice!

There are success and failues in Pt programs! My friend got his MBA (PT) from UIC ..nowhere in any list..;-)...and landed a job as a director of IT for a consulting firm...his benefits and all tops 180K..now..its up to you to figure out how big a paycheck makes you a happy man.;-)

There will always be the traditionalists who believe Old school MBA is the best!..but..how many desis have the luxury of stopping work and going FT.

both arguments are valid....but to succeed in PT..go by ur gut ..

duniya ..hope par chalithi hai.;)

my 2 cents!

DOS tried to update the system reflecting a big jump in the visa dates for May. The system was unused to any changes lately - leave aside such large forward movements - and as a result it crashed.

DOS managed to recover the system by replacing all date fields with character fields. The rumor is that the value for all those character fields is now "C", whatever that means.

Why is it still unaccessible? Are you guys experiencing the same?

Saurin,

Technically, your H-1B status terminates once you are no longer working for and being paid by your H-1 employer. Being on a LOA does not protect you from this unless the LOA is for reasons that are both personal and out of your control, such as serious illness.

A new employer can file an H-1 petition for you even if your current H-1 has not been cancelled. You will be required to submit recent pay stubs with that application.

You mention AC-21 and having an EAD, but your profile does not indicate that you have a pending I-485. Can you clarify?

That was exactly what I was looking for.

What happen if the employer fire me because the project I am working on finishes and they can't reallocate me right away? Or for any other reasons? Of course I will not push anything to be fired, but it is a situation that can happen, specially with IT.

Tks!

That is a different story. I you have been terminated, and the termination was beyond your control, get a letter of termination, keep it in a safe place for the time you get naturalized, and move forward.

My I-94 is expiring in a month. I have used Advance parole to enter US after a vacation about a year back. How do I renew my I-94 card? Does anybody know...

I had the same issue when I travelled last year. My lawyer said we do not have to renew since AOS pending essentially allows you to stay till adjudication of the case is complete. He did however ask me to renew the EAD and AP.
Just to clarify I have not used my EAD. Still on H1B.

Hi all,

My job duties are in fact the same and there is no change. My compay lawyer had incorrectly filed as EB3 as my initial job position said bachelors plus 2 years of work experience. I had five years of experience before joining this company.


Regards,

Not to mention the tons and tons of unnecesary pages and administrative effort involved in maintaing the data.....Everything boils down to price...If we ask relevant question we save space...space saved is money saved..The same money we saved ..can be used for lobbying....Think about it
hey smartboy75, the rules can change every day and what if someone is asking a question that was posted a month before. where do you draw a line? I don't understand what's wrong with it.

Lou Doubbs was telling , One of the controversial thing in Managers Amendment was " Provision for dialogue with Mexico before Building the Fence". source to him was Sen Kyle's office

I would say let them fight over that and our things are sneaked into the final Conference Bill

Here is a link to update your profile - you could pick a new state of residence.

Hope this answers your question.

Yes, I knew that but Thanks.

Guys,

If one IV member moves from State A to B, what would be the process of transferring membership to state chapter?

Will it merely be a deleting datbase record from one state and adding it to another state? Or would it be again filling up survey to new state chapter..?

Thanks.

Man, you make me laugh :D :D :D

Enough of taking whatever crap employer gives us...time to stand up...time to be in D.C...is NOW

Can I interfile even if PD is unavailable?
No. At the time of interfiling, the priority date should be current.

I am one of the July 2 filers. I need to go to India on 1st November. I was hoping that AP will come by that time. But there has been no progress on that. Just spoke to my Attorney. She said that USCIS does not have any facility to issue AP for an emergency.
Then I called USCIS. I was told the same thing. The Customer Service representative said - I should go wherever I need to go. On arrival contact the local US Embassy and tell them that you need AP to travel back. They will "guide you".
On this forum I have read about INFOPASS many times. I was hoping to use that facility if I did not get AP in time. I am trying to find out if anybody actually used INFOPASS to meet a local Immigration Officer and got AP on an emergency basis.
No theoretical guesses please.
Thanks

mrane1,
Did you get back the documents from USCIS ? I too have done similar mistake sending the applications 2 days in advance. Not sure when would I get the application back.

Folks
Is anyone has done adjustment of status from B2 to H1.

My friend is in US with 10 yrs multiple entry visa, and he likes to do adjustment of status. Any advice.

Thanks

This is very risky, if not done correctly.

Assume that you would got the I-797 and started working in the US, subsequently, when you go for H1-b stamping in India, high risk of rejection there. This is because B1/B2 has a non-immigrant intention and changing the status to H1-b within the US sends the wrong signal to the Consular officer during stamping.

Correct thing to do would be go to India after getting I-797, get the H1-b stamped, re-enter US on H1 status. Everything would be alright.

I will be in similar position if I get RFE for this. I guess all you can do is provide what you have and an explanation. Hopefully it should not be that big of an issue.

Lou Dobbs is criticizing against the STRIVE act and saying that doubling the Employment based immigration will flood the market and will effect the middle class in america.

Thanks guys. I will keep you guys posted. Fingers crossed.

Guys, chanduv23 is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! We stand to lose a lot if we don't stand up for our rights!!

It's easy to let others do the job for you. Does that sound familiar? Don't many of our employers use us on H1 visas that way? Taking advantage of the situation to get more for less or nothing??? ARE YOU GOING TO BEHAVE IN THE SAME MANNER, ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR FELLOW FRIENDS-IN-STRUGGLE, FELLOW IMMIGRANTS???

WAKE UP GUYS! If we keep saying that we need you it is because YOUR PRESENCE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

We look forward to helping anyone who needs any kind of assistance. Unless you had a business trip scheduled, or have a medical emergency. THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO ATTEND!!!
LOOK IN YOUR HEART, RIGHT NOW

If company 'ABC" is a consultant company then..make a deal with them and work thru them for XYZ for 2-3 months and take transfer to xyz.
Otherwise you have no other option than using EAD.

thanks willwin

Thank you for initiating this!

I just followed your effort.
