I am a GC holder currently working in Texas. I lived in Ohio, still have an Ohio drivers license and still maintain a house there where all my letters go. I am trying to file for my wife who lives outside of the US. Should I be filing from texas or Ohio?
I think you should go with your actual place of residence. Also, remember to file Form AR-11 every time you move.
My PERM is approved under EB2. My education is 3 yrs Diploma+ 3 yrs B.Tech + 1.5 Yrs M.Tech + 8 yrs of exp at the time of PERM). All my education is from India. Do you see any problem with my education in I-140?
There are some variables. Generally speaking, if the BTech is supposed to be a 4-year degree and you got it in three because of your diploma, you should be fine.
I got married to a US citizen in Mumbai under the Special Marriage Act about a month back. He is currently in the US and I am also planning to immigrate there with him. I have a tourist visa & am planning on going to the US on that visa and then apply for change of status. Will it be ok to do that? & once I apply for change of status, am I allowed to stay in the US beyond the regular tourist visa timelines (meaning the stamp given at the immigration counter at the airport showing the last permissible date of stay in the current visit)?
I have EAD/Pending AOS. I ported to employer B based on AC21 in 2008.
Now i am considering a great opportunity:
-Joining S corporation in Florida
_I will receive similar hourly rate as prior employer
-similar job
-i will receive 40% of profits on top of salary
-the new corporation will be my fututre full time job
Does the new corporation have to be huge with lot of finances for me to use the AC21?
I have valid EAD can I join as a partner in the S corporation in Florida?
Any thoughts things i,ve to carefull with?
Very little is clear about self-porting. Read the Yates Memo of May 2005. It seems you should be fine as long as the jobs are same or similar, but like I said, not much is known about this issue.
CIS Ombudsman Submits Formal Recommendation to USCIS Regarding the Adjudication of Applications for Refugee Status. Please Check the attachment.
I highly recommend Rajiv Khanna services, We used them for our corporate Green card sevices, It was a great experience working with them, they know the immigration law, and they do have ability to guide employers and employees properly. As of now Rajiv filed around 40 PERM LABOR applications for us, and I am proud to say that all of them got approved. Couple of cases went thru audits also. Our filrm point of contact was Heather, she did a great job for the company and also to the employees. Normally Attorney offices won't entertain to talk to company employees, but in Rajiv office, Heather is so kind to answers our employee calls and made them aware of the case updates, as an employer we felt so happy when our employees experiencing good and great service.

If you have a valid LPR and you went and stayed over 2 years in the philippines and you want to come back here. If you don't have a re-entry permit how can you get a re-entry permit?
Reentry permit can be obtained only by people who have a valid green card. Your only option (other than filing for a green card again) seems to be to ask the US Consulate for a Returning Resident Permit if you can show them a genuine reason for your absence. Note that this would be a difficult application.
What would be derivative's status during the interim between the final divorce and the 485 is adjudicated/denied? Is it true s/he is still on AOS until the 485 is adjudicated?
In my view, the moment of divorce takes away the right to be a derivative and hence also the legal right to have a 485 pending.
Dear all
I came to the USA from New Delhi, India with a Master's in Microbiology in 1992 - to pursue a Ph.D. in Biochemistry / Molecular biology specializing in protein engineering. In 2000, started a post doc- 7 months at Brigham and Women's hospital - did not get along with the indian jerk of a boss so changed to the main Harvard medical School quad under a fantastic caucasian post doc mentor and a very good friend, a very liberal democrat (Go John Kerry).
I have lived in the United States for over 15 years. I was 8 years old when my parents brought me to this country. I don't blame them since they only thought of giving us a better life than what they had in Mexico. Through the years, I have acquired great knowledge thanks to the schools of this great country. In May 2004, I graduated from Southern Polytechnic State University with a 3.66 GPA. However, due to these laws I have not been able to find a job, where I can put my skills to work.

My E3 visa was applied and approved through an employer. I never joined the company or got paid. Are there any legal implications to the company as a result of me not taking employment with the company?
The employer should withdraw your application.
We started GC process with Khanna firm in 2004. I got approved my GC in month of February. My case was assinged to Bharathi, prompt answers were provided when ever we had questions, concerns & queries. Bharathi thanks a bunch for your help during this process. Whole process was cake walk, professionally handled. Would recommend Rajiv and his team members for everyone who is lost in immigration world and looking for professional help.
