I had a lot of emotional and financial distress upon my graduation and I didn't get to apply for OPT. What do I do?
I mean I know I need to go speak with the dept that handles intl students in my school?
But, like, any pointers or information to please assist me?
Any constructive information/help, will be useful!
Also, I am looking into getting into graduate school within the next yr to yr and half!
If you graduated 1 year ago and was no longer a student in this last year, and did not apply for OPT before graduation, then you are already out of status - your F1 status ceased when you graduated. Moreover, your I-94 most likely said D/S. So the I-94 covered your stay only during the time you maintained F1 status. So you have been accruing illegal presence time. 6 month of illegal presence would trigger 3 year ban on reentering US; and 1 year or more would trigger a 10 year ban.
The prudent thing for you to do is to go back to your home country, and come back with a proper VISA.

Last week I attended the Annual Immigration Lawyers conference in Las Vegas. During the conference, government officials spent some time to update the attendees of the most recent information and upcoming changes.
It seems that the collection of the $500 fraud fee for new H1B or L-1 petitions is being used to invest in hiring more investigators. One recent trend is that business practices that were standard and went unchallenged previously, now are being viewed as �fraud.� Many companies must revise their practices to meet current standards. This does not mean that these practices of employers or businesses are necessarily fraudulent.
The biggest frustration for lawyers dealing with H1B's are the unreasonable RFE's being issued by the service since the April 1 filing. USCIS is making requests for photos of the premises, copies of contracts between all involved parties, and evidence of doing business including leases, licenses, and other proof. These requests are onerous for employers, as well as disruptive and harmful to both the employer and the employee when the H1B petition is often denied without valid justification.
USCIS presumes fraud if the employer meets two out of the following three criteria: has been doing business for fewer than ten years, has fewer than 25 employees, and/or has less than $10 million in revenue. Most well-established, bona fide companies started with these drawbacks. Even many large, well-known, highly-reputable companies are being issued intensive requests for evidence (RFEs) that seem to be without basis. This trend must stop, otherwise employers will be discouraged from filing for new H1B workers.

Moderators, please delete this if you want. I am re-posting as a new thread simply because the other thread seems to be closed.
I was pleasantly surprised, although looking back at it, this was going to happen. The Indian media would have immediately tried to cash in on the news and interview the people associated with the movie.
Nevertheless, this is good news, and I wonder if we should try to capitalize on it. How?
If IV can get "IV merchandise" (T shirts, caps, etc) signed by a Boman Irani or a Rajkumar Hirani (and perhaps also embossed with a standard message that we all included with the flowers), and put it up for sale (on ebay etc), it might help to
1. spread the word on this issue
2. raise money for IV!
What do you think? Is this feasible? If it is, we should go for it as nothing matches Bollywood when it comes to spreading a message.
Thanks for reading!

Hi All (Please respond)
I was laid off from company A in MAY 2002 (got salary till 31st May), later joined company B from 1st July 2002, so, I think, I was �out of status� for 1 month, later left company B because of differences on 31st October 2002 (received salary till 31st Oct ) and filed for H1 transfer with other company C on 11th November 2002, I got H1 approval on March 10th 2003, and started working with company C from April 2003 till now, so have 5 months gap between company B and C.
Was I out of status? If yes, looks like I was out out status for 6 months (5months continues plus 1 month earlier), unfortunately this comes to 181 days (june, nov,dec,jan,feb,march).
My I-94 was never expired and I went to India in Feb 2007 and got H1B stamping done and entered US with no problem.
I started my labor with current employer in May 2004 and got I40 approved as well, now filed for 485 in july rush, got EAD and fingerprinting notice, I am worried that my 485 may be denied because of �out of status� in past.
My Question:
1.Was I technically out of status and unlawfully present?
2.How does 180 days calculated? (continues 180 days or 180 days added in two time span like mine)?
3.If there was any out of status or unlawful present in past, Is it erased after lawful entry in US (I did enter in US this year after H1 stamping in India)?
4.Is Fingerprinting notice assures that everything is fine except security and criminal check?
Please help? I am really tensed after reading few forum, This will be horrible emotional set back for me and my family after 6 years in waiting if our 485 is rejected.

Is there any legal issues?
Is it a good idea?
It's a BAD idea. It has been discussed for several 100 pages, and thrown out of the window by the experts and core group.
Remember couple of things:
1. Suicide attempt is illegal in the USA
2. Satyagrah is to correct any injustcie. If there are too many people applying for GC than the available number of visas then long wait is inevitable, that's not injustice.
3. Satyagrah/hunger strike is a last resort meaning only when you run out of all other option such as Legal Battle, contacting Govt/politicians etc. Did you file a law suit yet about revised July visa bulletin?

Just got back from getting my fingerprints processed at the Salinas ASC. It was an extremely pain-free experience. Starbucks could learn about customer service from these guys!
They didn't even ask me about my appointment date (I went a full 2 weeks earlier than my rescheduled appointment). They only asked for my EAD for identification. I was in and out within 8 minutes. The 1 hour drive from San Jose is well worth it. I was the only person there for fingerprinting there that Saturday. The employees were friendly, professional and efficient.
This is in sharp contrast to the San Jose ASC, where I was told that "Neither us nor the other ASCs accept walk-ins. We cannot process fingerprints without an appointment."
Good luck to the rest of you.

Hi all,
This is my first post here, if it is not in the appropriate location please excuse me.
My company filed my I-485, EAD and AP together.(On Auguest 6th this year) They asked me for only one check for $745.
I was reading through a few posts and found that everybody had submitted 3 individual cheques for the same...
Is this ok? Or did my company do a blunder.
I have not yet recieved any receipts.

I was employed by company A between 2002 who has filed I-140 and I-485 in 2007.
After company ceased to exist, USCIS granted an H1 extension based on an approved ALC filing and I moved to company B. According to the owner of company A, it has no plans to file for bankruptcy.
Company B filed for the H1B extension and I received one that expires Oct 2012. However, company B is now unwilling to continue my employment. My employment will cease Nov 2010.
Besides looking for another job, anyone has any inputs?
Provide all your details in your profile (Prioroty date, I140 filing date, country etc., ). Then based on that, you can get relevant info from members.

Hi
I am going to appear for H1-B interview next month.
I was supposed to get my degree in 2000(Electronic Engineering) however due to backlogs and since I started job before degree completion I completed my degree in 2005.
Is that a real big problem?
Although I have double bachelors one in Electrical Engineering and other is science but my work evaluation is based on my bachelor of engineering degree.
Please help.
Tks

You can use EAD with current employer. I think your company has to do the change your I9 form to EAD. You don't need to inform as you are not changing any company.

Before i begin let me say its my mistake :(
My EAD expires Oct 08 and my lawyer sent me the forms to file in and send it back to him to be filed in Aug 08. But it was delayed by me till last week and was filed yesterday. what are my chances of getting EAD and continue working. In June 08 i went to India and came back using AP so i am not in H1 (i assume).
what should i do if i dont get EAD approved before oct 08?
Thanks:confused:
stop working until you get your EAD

That could be things like
NOID - Notice of intend to Deny.
RFE - Request for evidence.
For I-140 USCIS does not update the online status properly. For both of my EB3 and EB2 I-140s still the case status says they received the application and processing!
Wait for the document that they sent.
