I am going to India for my wedding, I plan to do my L1A stamping and get an L2 for my wife. Now suppose my L1A stamping is denied, what happenes to my existing L1b petition which is valid till 2011 Oct? Can I use that to file and L2 for my wife and return back to US?
Your current approval is not invalidated by denial of an L-1A. You can use it.
I have 3 yr Bachelor's degree (BSc) + 3 yr Bacheolor's degree in technology(BTech) from India and 8 years of experience. Do I qualify to apply for Green Card under EB2 category if the position requiers MS or BS+5 yr experience.
Usually, you are NOT permitted to put together two 3-year bach. degrees. So, it appears unlikely you will qualify for EB-2.
I have a GC since Nov 2004 and stayed in US for 3 years before moving to India on a temporary assignment. I have been in India for the past 2.5 years and have got a re-entry permit. When I return to US in April of next year, since it has been more than 5 years since I got GC and I had been physically present in US for over 2.5 years, will I be eligible for applying for citizenship?
Since you have been out of USA for more than one year, you will be eligible for naturalization only after 4 years and 1 day after you come back to live in USA.
SAN JUAN-Puerto Rico Governor Luis G. Fortuño extended last night the validity of birth certificates issued before July 1, 2010 to American citizens born in Puerto Rico for 30 additional days, until October 30, according to Secretary of State, Kenneth D. McClintock.

I was in my fifth year in USA without starting my LC process. Since it was a critical stage for me, I asked my company and Mr. Khanna to file PERM LC for me ASAP. My contact person, Seema, helped me a lot in preparing the case in a speedy manner and also answered all my questions promptly. Its a very good feeling when you work with nice and professional people. Today after three months of filing my case I received a "Congratulations" email from Seema that my LC got approved. Still have a long way to go but sure its a good start.
I am presently in Canada on Canadian PR (and have an indian passport). An employer in Indiana (from a hospitality background) is interested in hiring me.
1. They have no clue abt H1B visa. How do I proceed?
2. I was on J1 from 2000 to 2001. I do not have a waiver. Will this affect my application?
If you have neither complied with the J-1 home residency requirement, nor obtained a waiver, you cannot get an H-1. Make sure you are indeed subject to the 2-year HRR. You may not be - then an H-1 is a possibility. Go here to ask DOS for an advisory opinion: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/info/info_1288.html
My mother had an appoinment to get a visa today and she got denied but they did not give her a reason, is there a time period she should wait to try again or can we find out why somehow.
They are required by law to give a reason. Contact your Congressman.
I have been a petitioner for my brother since I offered it in 2002. Now, I don't want to be a sponser for my brother. Can I cancel it or not?
You can withdraw the Form I-130.

WASHINGTON—Under an executive order signed by the Governor of Puerto Rico, certified copies of Puerto Rico birth certificates issued before July 1, 2010, will now be valid through Oct. 30, 2010. The validity of those certificates had previously been set to expire on Sept. 30, 2010.
Here is a question from one of our corporate clients:
Let's say hypothetically an employer hires someone for 20 hours a week for clerical office work who is in the U.S. on a student visa.
The O-1 nonimmigrant visa is for the individual who possesses extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, or who has a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry and has been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements.
Hi all, Finally I have got my GC approved. Just yesterday I recieved my card in mail. I am so happy and relieved because it has come in just the right time. Many thanks to everyone at immigration.com. These people are very professional. Specially I would like to thank Prerna, Vijay and Mathew for helping me out throgh out my GC process. I would highly recommend Immigration Law firm to anyone looking for representation in immigration matters. Best thing about them is you can actually talk to the lawyer or your assigned contact person yourself which unlike other law firms is almost impossible.. Great job guys..You are really the best.
