Hi Gurus,
For FP, USCIS takes the address from G325A or from the I485 form. The reason I am asking is because my company is putting their's address in I485. So I am wondering.
Thanks for the reply..

Thanks fromnaija, If she maintains any non-immigrant visa she can be added without any 'follow-to-join' petetion right i.e., she can be added to my 485 just like the normal process when my PD becomes current.
Yes that's correct as long as the marriage occurs prior to when you want to add her.

I currently work for a leading film company in the US and hold a senior position under a O1 non-immigrant visa. Last year I applied for my GC under EB3, which was the choice made by my company . My priority date is Jan 2008 and I recently had my I140 approved. However, I have heard that given my work history and experience, I may possibly qualify as EB1 if I did not apply through company sponsorship. My question is, can I simply cancel my current application and re-apply myself under EB1 using my own lawyer? I am really hoping that I can change this category as the EB3 situation seems to be completely ridiculous.
Thanks!
You do not need to Cancel EB3. You can apply in EB1 separately. They are totally independent.

My cousin is getting married to a US citizen in February 2009. I want to get information about K3 visa for spouse of US citizen. My questions are:
1. I have heard that it takes long time to get K3 visa, is that true?
Yes it is true that the K3 visa may take a year and the spouse must remain in the home country during that time.
2. If the above statement is true then what other visa option is best for her, visitor or fiance visa (K1 visa)?
She can try for K1 visa but it must be filed now and she must come to the US before marriage. The K1 visa processing can take a few months so your cousin may be running out of time.
3. Is it necessary that immigrant visa petition (greencard) is in process before applying for K3 visa?
The K3 is the greencard process and it can only be filed after the marriage has occurred.
Thank you all in advance for your help!!!!

Why should there be a restriction on premium processing ?

No need to pay taxes to India. I was grad student for 6 years and never paid a rupee to Indian tax authorities. Whoever got a letter from Indian IT for taxes on US income needs to see an Indian tax consultant.

What sort of "tricks" are you after.
I think it's fair to say that "learning to use the camera itself" is the easy part. Understanding of how to take good photos is a lifetime ambition for most of us... ;-)
To put it another way, there may well be small tricks like "if you set this up, you can press that button, and you've automatically set it ready for doing X". Which is great. But if you don't know the basic things like: composition, lighting/exposure and control of focus/depth of field, which are the basic photography concepts, then you're barking up the wrong tree fishing for tricks.
So, some tricks are "rule of thirds" and "blur out un-wanted background noise". But that's regardless of the camera you use.

I believe CGFNS is for foreign nationals who train outside the US. If you train here, I don't think you need it.
Well, when I talked to lawyer, even though he knew I have degree and Nclex from US, he asked me to get CGFNS visa screen.
Does this makes sense?
Thanks for you answer.

Hello All,
I have a certain queries regarding the transfer from L2 to H1B.
My husband is on L1 and me on L2 with my EAD still under processing. However my husband's firm wants to get his visa converted to H1 which automatically cancels my L2 status and I would have to apply for H4.
So now my query is for how long will his status of L1 be valid will it be till the start date of H1B, or the minute he files in his papers for H1B or when his H1B gets approved?
Thanking you in anticipation.
~Shruti
To my knowledge your L2 status goes away the day his H1-B is approved.
Gurus what do you say ?

Your H1B is tied to your current company. If your new employer wants to hire you, they have to file a separate H1B for you.
So your answer should be. "I need H1B sponsorship to work."
Thank You!!

Silicon Valley Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
Across Silicon Valley and the rest of the U.S., many employers are avoiding layoffs by reducing employee hours or by cutting salaries. However, H-1B visa (http://www.geelaw.com/lawyer-attorney-1054805.html)holders, and their employers, can run afoul of U.S. immigration laws if the salary is cut without a corresponding reduction in hours.
An H-1B employer must attest to the Department of Labor, that the employer is paying the H-1B employee the higher of either: 1) the prevailing wage for the same occupational classification in the same area of employment, or 2) the actual wage level paid by the employer to all employees with similar experience and qualifications for the same job. When submitting the H-1B petition, the employer must state the number of hours per week that they will employ the H-1B worker. So if the prevailing wage for a software engineer in the San Jose metropolitan area is $40/hr., then for a full-time job the annual salary would be $83,200. This would be the minimum that the employer would need to pay annually, and an employer could always pay more.
Suppose your Palo Alto employer informs you that all professionals are taking an across-the-board 15% pay cut. If the prevailing wage for your job is $83,200, a 15% pay cut would lower your salary to $70,720. If your employer started paying you only $70,720 annually while you were still working full-time, your employer would be violating the H-1B regulations, and you could be in violation of your H1-B status. However, if your hours were reduced to only 34 hours per week, then at $40/hour you would earn $70,720 annually. Therefore, an employer and its H-1B employee could properly follow the H-1B regulations by reducing the employee's hours enough to still comply with the prevailing wage. Of course, in this example, the H-1B employee would only be able to work 34 hours per week.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will celebrate the grand opening of its new field office and application support center in Bedford on Thursday, Sept. 2, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, naturalization ceremony and tours of the facility. USCIS Associate Regional Director Shelley Goodwin will preside during the naturalization ceremony and will administer the Oath of Allegiance to 25 citizenship candidates. She will be joined by USCIS� Boston District Director Denis Riordan and USCIS� Manchester Field Office Director Simon Abi Nader.
Gov. John Lynch will join USCIS and delivering remarks for the special naturalization ceremony. Joining USCIS for the ribbon-cutting ceremony will be Bedford Town Manager Russell Marcoux, Mayor of Manchester Ted Gatsas and Glenn C. Rotondo, acting regional administrator of General Services Administration, New England region.
The new office, at 9 Ridgewood Road, will provide a range of immigration services, including naturalization interviews, lawful permanent resident processing, fingerprinting and photographic services and is well-suited to serve the area�s immigrant community. The new facility replaces the former Manchester location on Canal Street. The new office is based on a national model for new USCIS office locations throughout the country.
The new building is being dedicated to Sgt. Major Abraham Cohn, Civil War Medal of Honor recipient. Cohn was born in 1832 in Guttentag, an East Prussian town. He immigrated to the U.S. in the mid-19th century and fought for the Union during the Civil War serving with the 6th New Hampshire Infantry Volunteers. He was awarded the Medal of Honor �for conspicuous gallantry� in the Battle of the Wilderness (May 6, 1864) and �for bravery & coolness� at the Battle of the Crater (July 30, 1864).
The 25 citizenship candidates originate from 13 countries: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil, China, France, Iran, Kosovo, Malaysia, Pakistan, Poland, Russia, Sudan, Thailand and United Kingdom. The ribbon cutting will take place at 11 a.m. with the naturalization ceremony to follow at 1 p.m.
