I don't think F-1 is dual intent. F-1 is non-immigrant visa. Dual intent means, even though the visa it self is non-immigrant but it has intent to change to immigrant visa, such as H-1B Temporary worker and K-1 Fiance visa.
For more accurate answer, consult an immigration attorney.

Hi all,
I have a simple problem but can't get an anwer at the consulate because the person who's name is on the website to call is unbelievably rude even when I was very polite in asking 2 questions and calling him 'sir' all the time :(
I got my renewed passport yesterday and it doesn't contain my husband's name in the spousal name areal. So the problem is this:
1. I have applied for an H4 visa and I sent a copy of that application along as they requested.
2. All my proofs of residence were based on my marriage as the utility bill is in his name so there could be no confusion about the fact that I am married and the name of my spouse.
3. My address in India has been stated as my husband's address already but his name is not on the passport - is this really a problem?
4. I don't want to face any trouble when traveling as I'll be on an H4 with a passport that doesn't have hubby's name on it.
My question is:
1. Do I need to send anything else to them other than my new passport, an attested copy of my marriage certificate, and a $20 check for the return express mail?
2. Does the Washington DC consulate have an email address where I can submit a query as the two people listed on the website to call for passport problems do not seem to want to talk to anyone?
3. Can I possibly call the Chicago or SFO consulates to ask my questions as they seem to be better people (my hubby and brother got theirs renewed in these places)?
Please help!
Thanks.

Thanks. Yes it is within driving distance, just the city is different.
I was tensed because I didn't know the right answer.
With all the H1 issues going on nowadays because of location, I wanted to confirm.
Say when I file my H1 extension, then the employer address is the going to be the new one, in the LCA.
So was concerned if it will raise any red flags.
What do you all think?

Hi,
I looked at different forums. But I could not locate a definite answer for my questions.
I have H1. My wife has H4. Both will expire in 11/2009. I don't have stamp
but she has stamp. We both used AP to enter into USA recently. We did not use our EAD.
Questions on EAD paper filing :
14) Manner of Last Entry into the U.S. ?
15) Current Immigration status ?
I believe that the answer to the question 14 should be PAROLEE or Advance Porole. How about question 15 ?
The immigration officer put 'Conditions: AOS DA' in our AP and new I-94 both. What will be the answer, AOS Pending or H1B/H4 ?
Please share your experience. Thanks in advance.

I have a very unique problem.
I'm filing 140 and 485 now with my current company (company B). I came to USA in Sep 2000 via company A. I joined current company in May 2003. I did not resign from company A till July 2003 ( was on vacation from company A and got paid).I also got experience letter from company A saying that I worked from Sep 2000 to july 2003
Now in my biographic forms should I declare that I worked in company A from Sep 2000 to May 2003 (or) Sep 2000 to July 2003?
If I put Sep 2000 - July 2003, will I be in a problem? Please advice
Also, I LC just got approved from P-BEC. We dont have the physical copy yet. can we file 140 and 485 without it?

Here is the USCIS official URL page/ press release:
http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/premproc_22jun09.pdf
Now the PERM takes 2years... whats the difference for new guys? My friend stuck in labour for almost 15 months now. got RFE, replied to it and stood stand still..
But this helps for someone who filed during July'07 fiasco and waiting though. I got mine approved in late feb'09 (filed in July 07).
Something is better than nothing.... :-)

I believe what you need to show is the company's P&L statement with revenue statement, and not just $7000 in profit. if the company has a revenue of $1mil or more, it should be fine, if less then it needs to show how many employees it had and what profit or loss it made....it should be at least $1.0 profit, rather than a loss.
I know company need to show profit and loss
my question was company net income is not enough to meet proffered wages
but if we look at the company NET CURRENT assit from schedule L in tax return
and then pro rate the wage for 7 month ( because company file the LC in JUne)
then company meet the ability to pay

I entered US on H1 and the officer stamped the I-94 expiry date to the expiry date of the passport. I applied for a new passport but forgot about the I-94 expiry date. Does it mean that my H1B is expired and not valid? Can I re-enter US on the same H1B visa. Or, my H1B is no longer valid and I have to use AP?
Please let me know.
When did your I94 expired?
Even though it expired and if you are having a EAD you are legal.
Your H1B visa is still valid. If you want you can reenter using the same H1B Visa.
All you need is to extend your stay. I think you can do it by contacting CBP office in your area.

I have completed 3.5 years of my H1B and am looking at the possibility of applying for GC either under EB2/3.
After my 12th, I did a 2 year Diploma in Business from Australia and then did a 2 year MA(History) in correspondence (open uni) from India and also a 1 year PGDCA by correspondence.
I have more than 10 years of IT experience to go with my 12+2(fulltime)+3(correspondence)years of education.
Questions:
Please advice if I qualify for EB2 and if so will there be any issues ?
Please advice if I qualify for EB3 and if so will there be any issues ?
The challenging thing here for your attorney is to provide proof that you have ABET 4-yer bachelor or equivalent degree before filing i-140. Even EB3 is going to be challenging task. Remember H1B requirements are different from EB green card.:(

Every employer does not do it. My employer does not do that.
Keeping H1 also has some advantages.
... If I485 is rejected
... Freedom to travel, heard that AP is just for emergency travel (at least intent)

Hi,
I have been in US for last 2 years on L1 B and my L1 expires in Dec 09.I My company has already applied for renewal. I wanted to know is it possible to file Green Card, once my petition is renewed, on my own even if employer is not interested in doing it. I am ready to pay my expenses and get it filed. Just wanted to know if it is possible. I have been with my employer for 4 years.
Regards,
AD
All Employment Based green cards must be filed/sponsored by an employer.
You cannot file by yourself.
