The Immigration and Nationality Act (Act) provides for the admission of different classes of nonimmigrants who are foreign nationals seeking temporary admission to the United States. The purpose of the nonimmigrant�s intended stay in the United States determines his or her proper nonimmigrant classification. Some classifications permit the nonimmigrant�s spouse and qualifying children to accompany the nonimmigrant to the United States or to join the nonimmigrant here. To qualify, a child must be unmarried and under the age of 21.
F-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(F) of the Act, are foreign students coming to the United States to pursue a full course of academic study in SEVP-approved schools. An F-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an F-1 student.
M-1 nonimmigrants, as defined in section 101(a)(15)(M) of the Act, are foreign nationals pursuing a full course of study at an SEVP-approved vocational or other recognized nonacademic institution (other than in language training programs) in the United States. An M-2 nonimmigrant is a foreign national who is the spouse or qualifying child of an M-1 student.
SEVP is the DHS program that administers SEVIS. It ensures that government agencies have essential data related to nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors to preserve national security. SEVP provides approval and oversight to schools authorized to enroll F and M nonimmigrant students and gives guidance to both schools and students about the requirements for maintenance of their status.
ICE SEVP I-17 FAQs provide information for schools about SEVP certification, including background on SEVP and SEVIS, SEVP certification basics, an overview of the SEVP certification process, preparing the petition for SEVP certification, and preparing for a site visit.

Dear Sir / Madam
I am a software consultant on H1B. I have recently concluded my employment in California for client A and now I have relocated to GA where I am working for client B.
I have the following questions in this regard:
1) Should I do an LCA transfer to the state of GA from CA? + How many days do I have from the date of original relocation to do this transfer?
2) Can I do this paper work by myself or would I need the help of an immigration lawyer? + Any idea of what the average / approximate expense would be?
Any information with regards to this is highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Your Company has to file LCA not you. Technically they have to file H1B amendment. Many people does not this. It has to be filed Immediately. There is nothing like grace period.

My wife is currently on H-1B status. Her employer has decided to close the company and cancel her H-1B effective from 2/28/09. My wife has an EAD and Advance Parole. We applied for her EAD and Advance Parole, when my company applied for my I-485 Adjustment of Status in July 2007. I wanted to know:
a) What steps are needed to move my wife from H-1B to EAD?
b) Do I also need to move from H-1B to EAD in order for my wife to use EAD?
c) Do I need to move my wife to H-4 status before she can start using her EAD?
In short I wanted to inquire, how to ensure that she is still in legal status after her H-1B is cancelled by her employer?

I wanted hear another opinion apart from my own. It surely did help.Thank you.
I don't believe leaving the company that you had signed an I-9 form with have any impact on your GC app as long as you have a same or a similar job lined up if and when you do get an RFE regarding the same.
As mentioned several times, GC is for future employment and you can switch employers as many times as you want under AC21 (of course you don't want to go overboard with switching employers every few months either :)).
I hope this helps - again this is my understanding of the law and not a legal opinion.

The Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky has registered and notified the winners of the DV-2010 diversity lottery. The diversity lottery was conducted under the terms of section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and makes available *50,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.
Winners should start finding out very soon. Notifications to the randomly-selected diversity visa or "green card lottery" winners are being sent between May and July 2010.
How does it all work?
Soon an official letter from the U.S. Department of State Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) in Williamsburg, Kentucky will be sent to the mailing address that you provided in your entry. Being selected as a lottery winner does not guarantee that you will receive a visa; you must still apply and qualify for the immigrant visa. The notification letters will provide further instructions, including information on additional forms and documentation required and immigrant visa application fees.
Only participants in the DV-2010 program who were selected for further processing have been notified. Those who have not received notification were not selected. They may try for the upcoming DV-2011 lottery if they wish. The dates for the registration period for the DV-2011 lottery program will be widely publicized during August 2009.

Hi,
I am graduate student in Clinical Psychology. I am going to be working for a state employer during summer. This is mandatory for my program and I will receive 6 credits for it by the end of summer. However, due to some graduate school rules, I will have less than minimum credits to take during the Fall '10 and Spring '11 semesters. I was wondering if I could go ahead and work on CPT during summer (the employment is not paid), but register for those credits during Fall '10 and Spring '11 (breaking it up into 3 credits each) which will ensure my minimum registration.
Also, can I apply for CPT during a semester when I have taken minimum credits required and I am a TA (full 20 hours)?
Thank You in advance. Your timely opinion is appreciated!

So in this case, the person should send the documents from India, correct? One of the requirement was I-94 card. How will we provide that if you are out of the country? What to say for Last Entry?
Q10 - Alien Registration Number (A-Number) or I-94 Number (if any)
Q12 - Provide your last date of entry
Q13 - Provide your last place of entry
It is not necessary that one should remain in the US to apply for EAD renewal.

There is no equivalent non-immigrant visa to an E. However, in some circumstances, an H-1 or an L-1 visa might be possible based on professional or managerial position with the US enterprise in which an investment is being made.

Guys,
I spoke to another Border Post official and he suggested that i drive uptp the nearest border and they would refuse my entry to Canada as i don't have a valid visa and i can turn around and come back to US and i can get a new I-94. Do you think it would be safe to do this ?
Any advices?
If you have travelled to Canada in May even if you have a single entry visa into Canda, you are more likely to be let into canda than refused. On the way back if you ask they might issue you a new I-94, strictly speaking they don't have to unless you have stayed some period (I don't know the exact period) out side the country.
Most parents coming to US on visitor visa and wanting to stay in us for more than 6 months apply for new I-94s(extension), just because attempting to cross the border does not give them a new I-94.

I'm not an attorney, but an immigration paralegal. You can apply for the extension within six months of expiry. As long as your passport is valid at the time of filing you should be fine.

any help - urgent
come on srarao,
Think about it , Is this really something you should be panicked about ?
I donot have my middle name mentioned in H1 anywhere although i filled my application with correct middle name. Its very common to not have midlle name mentioned by USCIS in application.
I have a spelling errors in last name in visa, no problems ever.
There are ways other than "Middle Name" to figure out who you are based on your appliation. So donot worry too much about it.
Donot worry ...donot worry be happy you got receipts.

Transit Visa is Not Required in Frankfurt. Infact I had renewed passport with all pages blank. At the transit one officer asked me On what Visa are you travelling to US?
I said I have Advance Parole.That's all. The Officers are nice and friendly. They know it.
Infact I visited German Consulate at BOSTON before travelling. The Consulate General was extreemly good and told me "Not to waste money on transit visa"
