I am in need of this info and want to clarify my doubt. Please reply soon.
Both parents were in India and Indian Citizens by birth at the time of birth of their chidren in India. Birth of year for children is 1996 and 2000 (still minor). As such both children are Indian Citizens by birth.
If one or both the parents acquire foriegn (Canadian) citizenship and does not apply for Canadian citizenship for their children, does it affect Indian Citizenship of their minor children in that case? Will the children automatically loose their Indian Citizenship? or children can still be Indian citizens as they have not acquired foriegn citizenship, even if parents have acquired/renounced the Indian citizenship? (Parents have to write to Indian Consulate that they are renouncing their own Indian Citizenship due to acqusition of foriegn citizenship in order to get Indian Visa for themselves.)
This doubt originated due to information in Wikipedia under Citizenship Act of 1955, which has a clause which says "Renunciation is covered in Section 8 of the Citizenship Act 1955. If an adult makes a declaration of renunciation of Indian citizenship, he loses Indian citizenship. In addition any minor child of that person also loses Indian citizenship from the date of renunciation. When the child reaches the age of eighteen, he has the right to resume Indian citizenship. The provisions for making a declaration of renunciation under Indian citizenship law require that the person making the declaration be "of full age and capacity."
Regards,

Guru, I intend to seek your opinion/thoughts on some thing that is going on in mind.
I am working as a contractor for a Insurance Company. My GC process is started thru a desi consulting company. Priority date is Jun 2007 EB3 - India
The company is now offerring me to join them as permanent employee. They are saying they can help me with immigration.
My question is .. I dont understand how they can help me. I think the best they can do it apply as EB2 - India. (Which we heard recently is no better then my current EB3 India.)
Am I missing anything here ? Trying to make up my mind one way or the other (to accept this position or not.)

I had my Labor go through without any issues. I haven't yet applied for 140.
what would happen if I apply for F-1 visa to pursue my studies as full time student since F-1 is a non-immigrant visa and I have cleared my labor.
I know I can't proceed with 140 since its a petition for immigrant status and my F-1 will be rejected. My question is does labor certification also affects F-1 visa application?
Thanks in advance

I am no expert but based on my understanding on this.
1. Your friend can associate with one of the companies in USA and have an agreement so that the money gets paid to the US Company and then transferred to Indian company/individual. The US company pays tax for the payments received.
2. You can direct the online payments to your bank account via paypal or other methods and then transfer the money to your friend. No need of merchant account. However, you need to report this as an additional income on your W2 or similar and then pay taxes.
3. You can register a small business and then associate with your friend in India. All the payments will be made to your US company and then paid as services / product fee to your friend in India. (Info about starting the Business in USA can be found at Immigration Voice Starting a Business wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Starting_a_Business))
I am not sure there could be other ways, but these are some of the obvious ones.

USCIS kept on updating the total number of cases received for H-1B for FY 2009-10. However, the recent USCIS H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) cap count indicates decline in number of cases than what had been previously reported. The updated count reports the receipt of 44,400 ‘Regular’ cap cases, by June 12, 2009 which is lesser than the prior count of 47,700, given as of May 22, 2009. There is no explanation too from USCIS for this decline in trend. Thus, this reduced number may reflect either withdrawals by employers, denials by the USCIS, duplicate filings, or an error in the prior cap counts.
As of this writing, both the Advanced Degree and Regular caps remain open. We will continue to provide updated H-1B cap count information.
More... (http://www.visalawyerblog.com/2009/06/h1b_cap_falloff_in_total_count.html)
USCIS financial loss:
cap : 65000 (minus chile, singapore 6800) = 58200
cap count : 47,700 (max) , 44,400 (min)
H1B filing fees: 2320 USD per application
shortfall : 24,360,000 (min) , 32,016,000 (max)
Assuming 15% premium processing 1000*1000 = 1,000,000
Total shortfall for new applications : 25 million USD. (min)
Also since I have 2 year EAD now, I may not renew my H1 this november. I am sure, L1, H1 extensions etc are having similar revenue impact.

Hello,
I am currently on H4 visa and I am planning to pursue an MBA program. If i choose to study in H4, i know i qualify for the California resident fee discount. If i change my visa to F1 for studies, would i not be eligible for the california resident discount? or would i lose the residency status?
Thanks.
Hi, My wife was in similar situation and I can provide following advice:
If the school is public, then you need to stand benefit of resident tuition fees. However, keep an eye on the bigger picture, that is your career after the school. These days its difficuilt to get H1, although good MBAs should not have this problem. Some CA schools allow OPT and consider time on your H4 for OPT if you were a FULL TIME STUDENT on H4. But you can change status to F1 just before filing OPT (6 months or so) I.e. Be in H4 Status for 3 semesters and be full time student and change to F1 in 4th semester and right away file for OPT or CPT. You will need to work out the technical details of this. Hence you can take advantage of the best of the both worlds.
If it is a private school, resident or non resident fees dont matter. H4 is of no benefit in this case, file for F1 right away.

Took about 2.5 months for me. I would ask for a complete copy of the Alien record.
I would suggest that you ask them to provide you with the result of the FOIA on a CD. CD has no charge.....
thanks man and one more favor
what should I specify underneath
Identify the documents, records, or information you are seeking. Be as specific as possible.
section if I need all the documents submitted with my I-485 application?

Certain felonies make a person inadmissible, which means no Green Card may be issued for such a person for either 15 years of indefinitely. You need to be more specific. Crimes of moral turpitude are inclusive. There are some limited waivers for some, but not all grounds of inadmissibility.
I dont think you have understood the question. The OP asking what if the sponsoring person is deported due to feloney charge.

due to changes in procedures, a lot of the applications are going to the lock box facilities, this is slowing things down (it was actually supposed to make things go faster but we all know USCIS pretty well by now)
I have heard a lot of cases where it's taking about a month to get the receipt.

But the July 2nd decision was reversed later. Why did they not file then?
Besides, companies do not need to pay for 485. Makes no sense for them to pay for something that they do not have to.
On a separate note, does anyone know of any company which has discontinued GC processing because the new rule states the employer has to pay for PERM?
That's our company policy(1 year bond of course)
BTW they did file after July17th.:o

Hi all, not sure if this has been posted in any other thread, if so, Admin please delete.
I was surprised to get a letter in mail from USCIS today dated March 26th referring my letter sent to White House from IV letter campaign.
Basically it says the letter was forwarded to USCIS from White House and after they researched my case, it is still under name check and my PD is not current yet for a visa. They also included three inserts on fact sheet about name checks-why and how, new memorandum on name checks that has been discussed here and the March/08 visa bulletin showing that my priority date is not current.
Just basic stuff but I wonder if these are being sent to everyone that sent a letter to the President during the campaign. Anyone else received the letter?

Hello All,
Here are my case details, please help me.
- I am on a H1 visa through company ABC and my H1 visa and I-94 are expiring on Sep 30th 2007
- My wife is currently on a H4 visa and she arrived in May 2007. Her h4 visa and I-94 are valid till Sept 30th 2007
- My consulting company ABC has filed for her H1 visa and she received her H1 approval notice in May 2007 (after her arrival here) with a start date of Oct 1 2007. Since it was not a COS, she didn't receive a new I-94.
- Since our plan was to stay together for a few more months till November, My employer(and my spouse H1 sponser) ABC has filed for my H1 visa extension and her H4 visa extension and we have received receipts for both of the applications.
Would that be sending wrong signal to USCIS, saying that she wants to continue on H4 and not work on H1? Would that cause H1 approved petition to be cancelled or revoked. Is it true? If its going to be a problem, what are the immediate steps she can take since she wants to work?
We were exploring ways that she can get the H1 I-94 legal status from staying within US instead of exiting the country and getting a H1 stamping right now. What steps can we follow.
* Form I-539 which we used for extending the H4 status, could we have used the same form for requesting a change of status to H1 and since it is almost taking upto 3-4 months, would we have been granted a I-94 for H1 sometime in Nov as we were wanting? Could she stay in the US legally once this form had been filed until its approval?
* Should the employer file for I-129 to amend the status of stay from H4 visa to H1 visa and when he should do it?
Regards
Prakash

I got laid off recently.
Now got job with 2 companies. 1 small and 1 big. 3 questions:
(1) Should I select based on my salary? Big company offers more salary.
(2) I have to now start Greencard again. So should I choose big company or small ? Both said they will consider sponsoring if performance is good.
(3) If I transfer H1B Is Big company likely to get RFE or small?
Go with consulting company.They will cooperate for your green card filing in EB-2. Any full time job never gaurantee green card.
