A friend told me about the E category visa for Australian nationals. Is this true?
According to him, if you become an Australian national, you can use the E-visa.
Has anyone migrated to Australia and returned to US successfully on a E-visa?
Has anyone also applied successfully for a green card on a E-visa?
How long does it take to get Australian nationality?
I think you can apply as Australina national but your priority date is dependent upon your birth country not the country of acquired citizenship. I have a friend who is an Australian citizen (born in India) and is stuck in retrogression.

A 700billion$ bailout is not helping much. You think we can help the economy? We are at the mercy of the employers whose earning results are going down because of recession. :( It is hard for me to believe that we can help the economy by buying houses and how are the law makers going to get convinced? Show me the proof.
500,000 Legal immigrants in limbo:
lets say (I mean lets Tell them) 1/5 th of that # buy on an average $300K houses.
That equates to $30 billion.. Not a bad #. But I am sure all want to buy houses eventually. Thats $150 billion. Not a small #.
Lets say (again tell them).
1/100 th of 500,000 start companies, of 5 employees each=25,000 jobs.. Not bad again.
This idea is inline with our IV campaign that was discussed sometime back. We can tell in different forms to the media. Somebody may publish.

Guys,
I took an info pass last week to check the status of my case. Specifically to check whether the interfile is success or not. IO at USCIS office mentioned that she cannot check whether my case is in EB2 or EB3. I am surprised to hear that. Gurus any has this kind of experience?
Also, She mentioned that my case is assigned to an Officer on August 13th. Do any one has any info how many days(on average), an Office will take to approve a case. Any info. is helpful to me and all.
Overall the Field Office people were polite.
Thanks,
Thun.

Case Interfiled on 08/06/2008 (Attached the EB2 I-140 to the existing I-485 Application).
Hoping that interfile is success.
Hmmm...If ur 485 is assigned to an IO, then ur EB2...EB3 is Unavailable and ur current for EB2...So IMO, it's EB2...Don't worry...

if you have EAD and 140 is approved (And 180 passed since 485filed), then why are you worried about H1 status ?
am I missing something here ..I let my H1 expire and am using EAD now.
I had another question - if one has EAD and 140 is approved (and 180 days passed and a person does not hav H1) - then how long can that person stay unemployed ? please reply if you know ..Thanks !!

Would request you to elaborate a bit.
Note that I am not using either my EAD or my AP. All I am using is H1-B and my Canadian Passport to enter and leave US. Most people on the Canadian US border to that.
Also, I commute to US everyday to work, which is less than an interval of 12 hours.
Your input is greatly appreciate. Thank you.
Using H1-B or AP does not make a difference. Filing I-485 implies that you have a residence here in the US.
Having said that, typically, trips outside US that lasts less than 24 hours are not counted. That way, daily trips could be OK. However, may I ask, where do you spend your weekend?
It comes down to this question. Are you residing in US? The burden of proof is on beneficiary (I-485 applicant).
I would suggest that you should consider getting second opinion from a reputed attorney.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I am in bit of a situation and trying to sort my options. I got my EAD, last month. Also took care of finger printing and received AP documents also. I 485 was filed in July 07. My I-140 is not yet approved.I am accepted to school in france for one year business course, starting Jan and ending Dec 08. Max I can fly back few times from France to US, for few days (In case there is rule for not staying abroad for more than six months). Plea
I am planning to either
a) Submitmy resignation and leave US by end of Nov 07 OR
b) take Leave of Absence from my firm for 15 months.
Is there a way I can continue my GC processing, factoring that I will be out of states for whole of next year.
Your suggestions are sincerely appreciated
Thanks,
Alp
First of all you need to talk to your emplopyer before you take any decision.What if he revokes the I140.Then when you get back to US you have to start the GC process again.
Why dont you defer your business course for a yr.By that time you're I140 wld be most likely approved and then you wld have passed 180 days.That makes it easy for your GC to process.

Dependents don't need SS# to file. Only primary applicant is required to have SSN.
You need either a SSN or a TIN to claim someone as a dependent. (Iam not sure if it applies to kids, but surely to adults)

Right now we don't have any savings, paid off the car as of Oct 30th. I was trying to figure about the money which we are going to save from here on...I will take all your advice, sounds so logical and keep the emergency fund for 6 months aside.
Coming to the city we live, it's a small place in Florida and not many employment opputunities for techie people. Like I said I am working for state while my spouse is consulting and travels every week (can't find a job in his area). We never imagined a management change leading to a risky and frustrating job situation, making us to repent our buying a house. Because the moment I stop impressing this new boss, we are out. Huh...I don't want to imagine that, because we will be left with a house we can't sell or rent (don't know if some one would want to rent it) and have to move.
Thanks all for your time and advice. Let's keep it coming...

Could you please explain this a bit. I am not sure if I am understanding this right.
.
My attorney prepared the EVL for my employer to sign. I have handed that over to my boss who has sent it to HR for review. This letter has lot of legal lingo and information related to my LCA and I-140 e.g.,
"We acknowledge that, according to the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. �1154 and 8 U.S.C. �1182(a)(5)(A)), ............"
"We acknowledge that <my name>'s immigration petition filed on <I-140 filing date> listed his job title as <my LCA job title> and <my name>'s current position is in same or similar profession...."
So my concern is why would any employer sign this letter without knowing anything about my LCA, I-140 etc (I had changed job about 240 days after 485 filing). So my current employer may have issues signing this letter.
But my attorney insists that this letter (in same format) needs to be signed in order to respond to the RFE. My thinking is that all this lingo and stuff related to LCA can be eliminated from the letter so that my employer is more comfortable signing it.

Why do they get the FP and Medical if they are going to expire. Why not when they are ready to give the GC. That way they can save time and money for millions of applicants. I guess that is what they do not want to do.
Technically speaking, you send your I-485 when they are "ready", which means, your dates are Current, you are eligible for a visa. Beyond that point it is supposed to be a short administrative delay, which unfortunately is extending to years...

I came back last month from India via Frankfurt on Lufthansa. Airline does suck badly, but there is no need for transit visa if you got valid AP/visa stamp.
Folks - Amsterdam, Dubai, Brussels are the best way to go. 4 years back, I had problems with Lufthansa, I did not know I ahd to take transit visa and they never allowed me on flight and I had to travel the next day by going to german consulate in morning get visa and went back in afternoon, and surprisingly they had blocked me for that day. Until then, I always used to travel ONLY by lufthansa, but after that experience, I never wanted to. I always fly emirates and I like it.

Are you sure? Cause I did work with them, no one imagined the crisis of real estate was going to be soooo steep and also no one imagined that my i-485 was going to be approved so fast.
I can proof I worked with them from 2002-2006 (4 years). They gave me a letter saying they still not able to get me a job, i did have intent to work with them.
That is the point. It was not of your own volition.
Also, there is no rule that says citizenship is not available to people who do not work for the sponsoring employer for a certai nperiod of time after GC approval. It is just good practice to stick around for a few months after approval, but it is not law.
You will have no trouble. Change your status from bittersweet to sweet and have fun. Also, good luck finding a new job.

2/ What can we do to communicate our agenda to senators and congressmen?
The most effective method is to fax your suggestions to the lawmakers� offices across the country. We should start with the sponsors and co-sponsors of the PACE bill. Pls learn how you can access PACE co-sponsors names in the 3rd post at this thread:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=151
Also in the above thread (1st post) you will find a word attachment that articulates our basic agenda. Please use material freely from that letter, or even the whole letter itself, to communicate with your lawmakers.
This is the link to contact details and web pages of various senators:
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
Find your senator�s name and webpage listed there and fax your letters to them at the numbers listed under Contact Me. Pls note that for the most part, you can contact only the senator of your home state. So, for e.g., if you live in New Mexico, you have to contact only the senators from NM. Please include your name, address, phone number and e-mail id in your fax. Due to this limitation, it is very important that we connect with PhDs in various states so that we can contact all senators and congressmen across the country.
Once you fax it to them, they will most likely contact you with questions or to just thank you for your letter/ fax. If you do not hear from them in 3-5 days, it is advisable to call up their office and ask if they received your message and how they are following it up.
