I worked on an L1b in the US for 4 years. Because my company wouldn't sponsor me for a green card, I decided to switch to another company that offered to sponsor me for permanent residency and employ me in Europe in the meantime. Unfortunately, the PERM was audited and the legal entity that applied for the PERM is being dismantled as the result of an acqusition.
As a next step, the company could sponsor me for an L1 (not sure if L1a is possible, otherwise L1b) or an H1, but it's unlikely they'll sponsor me again for a green card soon. I also have an offer from another company, who'd offer to sponsor me for an H1 and possibly for a green card later on.
Since my spouse has a green card (same sex couple, therefore no family green card possible), I would very much like to return to my home in the U.S.
Which one is the safer option - L1x + H1 or H1 + green card? I have two bachelor degrees and 13 years of specialized experience but no masters degree. Any other advice for my situation?
Thanks!

Yeah, the first one has a bit of haze that pulls down the saturation. The foreground is interesting and pretty. I would try bumping saturation and contrast in PS. And maybe increase the overall exposure.
Also, is there a reason that you cut off the left of the bridge? I probably would have tried a horizontal shot too.

Hi allnaturaldmt!
Are you able to access the XML file using just your browser? You don't need a crossdomain file if the XAP is located in the same domain as that of your XML file - which it seems to be based on your description.
Thanks,

Hello motivated,
you can search some good online universities to join her and change her status to F1.She can do MBA or Masters through some accredited online university,so that she can attend classes online no need to go anywhere.
If you try in this route she can get her CPT/OPT so that she can work,
and will achieve masters degree finally,which will help to find a sponsor easily.
If u want to persue that job which is offering you bright future,may be this is the option u can use to maintain the status of your wife.

Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of going into graduate school next year under F-1 status, which presumably should last until the end of my program in 5-8 years. As many of us are painfully aware, students aren't allowed to work except on-campus or as part of approved OPT and CPT programs.
My question is: is it possible for me to take out a TN (NAFTA) visa during the summer of one of my years so that I can work? F-1 and TN are both non-dual intent, so is it possible?
Thanks,
Vince

Found this while searching the website of the Senate Judiciary committee. Even though it is more than a month old, the references to SKIL bill in the hearing offers a glimmer of hope to us..As I understand the SKIL bill has been referred to the same committee for several months now.
http://judiciary.senate.gov/hearing.cfm?id=1801
this is old news.
we at IV had contacted members before the testimony. you can get more details in the old thread on this topic.

Good news for EB2 I/C and all EB3 old filers ! These will save huge number of visas for them. Not many People who have filed in July 07 Visa bulletin fiasco would have FBI name check pending.

There is a policy for accepting asylees from Cuba and allowing them to seek permenant residency.
Its called the wet feet/dry feet policy. See Here on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_Feet/Dry_Feet_Policy)
The wet feet, dry feet policy (sometimes called the wet-foot, dry-foot Policy) is the name given to a consequence of the 1995 revision of the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 that says, essentially, that anyone who fled Cuba and got into the United States would be allowed to pursue residency a year later. After talks with the Cuban government, the Clinton administration came to an agreement with Cuba that it would stop admitting people found at sea. Since then, in what has become known as the "wet feet, dry feet" policy, a Cuban caught on the waters between the two nations, "wet feet", would summarily be sent home or to a third country. One who makes it to shore, "dry feet", gets a chance to remain in the United States, and later would qualify for U.S. citizenship.
You better carry a nice towel with you when you come back from Cuba and make sure your feet are dry when apprehended by coast guard. And make sure you dont end up getting kidnapped and killed in Cuba, coz they really dont have very nice law enforcement.

Hello,
My labour got approved but we still have to file for I-140. My h1b is going to expire on May 2007.
Can I get H1b extension based on Labour approval? If not, is it necessary to file I-140 soon.
Thanks in-advance for any update.

Slightly sooner than expected but the H1B cap was reached today. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to reach the statutory cap for fiscal year (FY) 2011. USCIS is notifying the public that yesterday, Jan. 26, 2011, is the final receipt date for new H-1B specialty occupation petitions requesting an employment start date in FY2011.
The final receipt date is the date on which USCIS determines that it has received enough cap- subject petitions to reach the limit of 65,000. Properly filed cases will be considered received on the date that USCIS physically receives the petition; not the date that the petition was postmarked. USCIS will reject cap-subject petitions for new H-1B specialty occupation workers seeking an employment start date in FY2011 that arrive after Jan. 26, 2011.
USCIS will apply a computer-generated random selection process to all petitions that are subject to the cap and were received on Jan. 26, 2011. USCIS will use this process to select petitions needed to meet the cap. USCIS will reject all remaining cap-subject petitions not randomly selected and will return the accompanying fee.
On Dec. 22, 2010, USCIS had also received more than 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of persons exempt from the cap under the �advanced degree� exemption. USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions that are otherwise exempt from the cap.
Those who missed the filing this week, should get ready to file on April 1, 2011 for the FY 2012 term, we feel that visas will run out fast this coming April.

In my job search (banking and finance jobs) there is this one question i come across on each and every job application-
"Do you now or will you in the future require sponsorship to legally work in the united states?"
and options to tick on the form are 'yes' or 'no' with no space for explanation.
So i mark 'yes' and i guess thats where my job applications get stuck.
Should I answer yes or no, since i am on L2 (visa valid for next 2 years) and currently have 2 years Employment Authorisation (EAD) where i can work for any employer in the United States ?
I understand that companies ask this question because some of them are not allowed/ do not have a policy to sponsor visas.
I want to know whether i am legally required to say 'yes' beacuse i am on L2 ( since after 2 years, my visa renewal depends on whether or not my spouse's L1 is renewed)
OR
Do I still have a choice to say 'no' since my visa renewal gets done if my husband's gets done or i manage it on my own through a consultant... and the company i will join in both cases does not have to sponsor or pay for my visa either now or in the future.
I do not want to misrepresent any information and get thrown out of the organisation after i join, nor do I want to lose out on opportunities because of answering this question wrongly.
(There is a separate question that asks if i am legally allowed to work in the US and i answer 'yes' to that since i have an EAD)
Let me know please, it'll help a lot.

please reply gurus.
Remember, you are signing each and every form. Which means you are certifying the following: "I certify, under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America, that this application and the evidence submitted with it is all true and correct."
So when a form asks for your address, it HAS to be YOUR address. Providing any other address would be illegal. Tell your employer he/she cannot force you to commit perjury.
Thanks,
Jayant
