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!
You need ask your school officials regarding their CPT policy. It varies from school to school.

If you are planning to send it through an attorney, dont forget to send the new G-28.
Also, once u have sent it, i will suggest taking an infopass appointment after a month or so and making sure that the new lawyer information has been updated.

We need a handle to kick start a similar plead. In the last one year and quarter here at this forum, I had never seen one that CIS has done injustice to us by mis-interpreting a rule or law or act. If somebody knows otherwise, please state and cite facts. The class action suit ("Schneider vs. Chertoff") was filed by Shusterman on behalf of a group of international doctors in response to CIS regulations implementing the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 1999. Section five of the Act provides that "any alien physician" can qualify for a green card through a "National Interest Waiver," provided they practice in a federally designated health professional shortage area. The National Interest Waiver program is intended to accelerate the hiring of international doctors willing to serve in such areas.
In its regulations implementing the Act, the CIS stated that only primary care physicians, not medical specialists such as surgeons or radiologists, could qualify for green cards through a National Interest Waiver. The agency's regulations therefore eliminated the right thousands of international specialist physicians had to petition for green cards through the National Interest Waiver program.
Thanks.
Can Carl Shusterman help us get USCIS release the numbers allocated and how they were allocated?
He below argued how USCIS interpreted the law and won

I am a UK citizen brought up in India. I am in US now working on H1-B. Since I plan to return to India after few years for good, I decided to apply for OCI(overseas citizens of India)/dual citizenship of India.
I will have to apply for green card after few years to maintain my employee status here in USA.
Now, the question is, will I get privilege if I am UK citizen compared to dual citizen of India when I apply for US green card?
If I get any privilege(like quicker processing time, etc) I will just get a visitor's visa/PIO card of India for now.
Please advice. I am really confused. Thank you.

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Thousands of Irish citizens living unlawfully in the United States could be legalised in return for more work permits for U.S. citizens lured to Ireland by its thriving economy, an Irish minister said on Wednesday.
"There is clear evidence to support the establishment of some form of bilateral agreement between the U.S. and Irish governments," Labour Minister Tony Killeen said in a statement after he returned from a trip to New York.
Killeen said that, while 30,000 to 40,000 illegal Irish immigrants were living in the United States, two centuries of mass emigration to the United States from Ireland because of famine and unemployment was clearly now at an end.
Ireland's Trade and Employment Ministry said more than 4,300 Americans immigrated to Ireland in search of employment in 2005, compared with 1,700 Irish people moving to the United States, where more than 10 percent of the population claims Irish descent.
Killeen said a jobs fair in New York showed how appealing Ireland had become in the wake of the "Celtic Tiger" boom.
"The interest expressed by Americans to come and work in Ireland was so great that a queue more than two-and-a-half blocks long formed outside the exhibition venue," he said.
"In less than 15 years, Ireland has gone from being the sick man of Europe to one of the most dynamic economies in the developed world."
Killeen told Reuters in New York last week that Ireland would also try to lure Irish and U.S. citizens back to Ireland where the population is now back above 4 million, having slumped to a 120-year low of 2.8 million in the 1960s.

Since there is a mad rush of i485 applications , USCIS is going to do lottery to select applications for approval.Rest of them will be rejected.
Just kididng guys, take it easy.
Just gave a thought about it. USCIS can do anything. People who got rejection in H1b lottery feeling bad still.

Is there a provision to port my PD to my child (not born here) plans to come back here sometime in future!!
(FUN Intended)
I think it is possible according to this cfr 22CFR Sec 45.2 (http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=c4934c1786b99f1896b1c58f5df66 d79)
Sec. 45. 2 Priority date of applicants.
The priority date of an alien who is the beneficiary of a petition approved by the Service to accord status under section 124 of Public Law 101-649 shall be the filing date of the approved petition, as determined by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The priority date of the spouse or child, accompanying or following to join such an alien shall be the priority date of the alien spouse or parent.

You are okay, when you leave current employer, make sure there is not an overlap in dates when you get paycheck from there and get paycheck from new employer. couple of days won't matter but if there happens to be gap of more than 2 weeks you will probably need to explain that later at the time of 485 approval

Hello,
I am not sure if this situation below has been faced by any forum member. Would appreciate any information/experience or advise from fellow members and attorneys
I am on H1-B - I- 140 approved stage (EB3) for past several years and have faced no issue with Extensions(5) and 8 Stampings over this long period, working for the same employer.Apr 2003 PD with 1 yr left on current H1 extension.
I 485- AOS not applied
I am now contemplating to return permanently due to personal reasons and in this process effectively abandon the H1-B and GC process.
After I return, my employer would keep the I-140 and GC process active and I may work for the same employer remotely.
What are the options I have ?
1.If I do not apply for the H1-B extension next year but my employer keeps the job open for the next few years(future employ), is Consular Processing possible once Apr-03 becomes current- say 3 years from now.. - what documents would I require in that case?
In the next 4 years, possibly Eb3 April 03 might become available thus making the AOS possible thru Consular Processing
Do I need to apply H1-B extension in this case if I am out of the US but still want to keep the GC process active?
2. If I need to apply for H1-B extension next year with the same employer assuming the job is still available (only if I return and assuming PD is not current),
Based on Neufeld memo, what would be the additional documents reqd for such an extension ?
3. In case CIS construes this as abandonment, would this have any bearing 10 years later, if I apply for Perm. Residence thru I -130 route, family based immigration
Would appreciate any advise on this.

Hi All,
I recently got my I140 approved and I am waiting to file my I485 as my priority date(Oct 2007) is still not current(EB2 category, India).Not sure how long it is going to take as the current backlog is July 2000 for India and China.
My brother is a citizen of the US and I need to clarify if my brother can apply for a family-based green card for me and how long does it take to get the EAD when applied through this process as compared to filing through the employer when I reach my priority date.
Also need to clarify if this process is sooner or still the same as applying through the employer.
Thanks in advance.

USCIS would keep family pack submitted at same time together. In your case it seems like your applications got separated. Taking an INFOPASS appointment may reveal this to IO and you may ask that they confirm that your son's application is together with the family pack.

Hello All,
I need your advice. My H1B for first 3 years is expiring in Sep 09. I am a consultant and my project is till June 09. So I will be on bench after that till I get a new project. So if I have to file for extension should i file it now when I am in project or should i wait.
When I asked my employer about filing extension, they told that they are getting lot of queries these days. They even told be if my project is getting over early then its difficult to get an approved extension as these days they even have to send the contract letter of clients which do states that when my project is going to end.
So i need to know what are my options.
When Should I file for extension and is there any other options.
Thanks in advance!!

At a recent AILA Conference, Michael Ayetes (USCIS Associate Director, Operations) announced, that during the months of July - August 2007, USCIS had received approximately 800,000 employment based adjustment applications (I-485s): 40,000 concurrently filed with I-140 petitions, 320,000 stand alone applications, and 400,000 dependent applications.
Of the 140,000 annual employment-based immigrant visas available, second and third preference categories are allocated 57.2%. If most of the employment based cases filed in July-August 2007 were second and third preferences, it could take approximately ten years of allocation to complete all these cases.
Although USCIS has posted on its website that I-485 cases received on or before August 9, 2007 have been entered into the system, a number of attorneys have not yet received receipt notices for cases filed at the end of June and July 2007. Moreover, some cases initially filed in Nebraska and transferred to Texas have now been forwarded to the Vermont or California Service Centers for faster processing of receipts.
USCIS is making every effort to process EAD applications within 90 days of receipt. The processing of Advance Parole applications may be delayed due to the number of cases filed.
A Biometrics notice will be issued even if a visa number is not available at the time.

Guys,
I am currently working as Programmer Analyst for a company who is currently doing the GC. I have been with them for about 7 years.
Starting next month I am going to use my H1 7th year.
I am pondering about a new offer Firmware Engg. My GC detaisl are below:
PD: 06/2003 -- EB3
Education: MS
I am planning to stay in H1B, if possible with the new employer. But thinking of doing PERM and see if I can port my earlier date during I-140 filing.
Any suggestions or recommendations ...
Thanks
Srini
