My wife did her MBA and used her OPT before marriage. After a gap of OPT period she again went to school and got a MS degree. During her OPT, she did not work at all. Now she is unable to get second OPT for her recent MS degree.
Is there a way out to get second OPT? Can this new law (29 months OPT) if passed, be used to apply for second OPT.
What should be best approach? Please advice.
Thanks
A student can get an OPT once for every level of education. Since your wife already had an OPT at the "master's" level (it does not matter whether she could earn money during that period or not), she can only get another if she goes for a Ph.D. After completing the Ph.D., she will get one more OPT.
I do not know how the new law, if passed, will be "grandfathered", but I doubt if it can be used for your wife's case.

My wife'e H1B expires on Feb 2007 and she still has not applied for H1B renewal as she was on maternity leave. She will do so in first week of November. It looks like H1B extension process takes more than 3 months. Virginia is one of the states which just gives ur Driver license till ur H1B validity. So her license is valid till feb 2007. Would like to know if she can get her license renewed in Feb 2007 with a H1b receipt number or should she do Premium processing of her H1B. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I doubt they will extend it. They will just look at I 797 and see if the name and expiry date. How ever call Identity Services (dont remember the division's name exactly) @ 804 367 0064 and explain your situation. They are the folks that generally issue a letter for H4 visa holders who do not have a I 797. They will take atleast 1 month to send the letter once they decide to do it. Start acting now! Good luck.

Yes you can go to school part time on H1 for MBA. Some states allow you to claim in state tuition on H1 for state schools - that will significantly reduce the tuition bill. In addition Federal govt allows either a deduction of $4k / yr or a credit of up to $2 k / yr (search for tuition tax deduction and Lifetime Learning credits).
I agree with this ..
I did my MBA in MI and i got instate tuition too .....
Lot of states give Instate Tuition for H1B and H4 people just check with your university.......
Thanks

My passport was expiring so I applied for the new passport to indian embassy San fransisco. I got this new passport from indian embassy san fransisco. Now my company has applied for my H1B extension with the details of this new passport. We got a receipt number for the H1B extension but it looks like that it will take 2 more months to get the actual extension in hand.
Recently I found that my new passport has my mother's name speling mistake (one letter wrong). I am planning to call indian embassy to make this correct. As they made this mistake while creating this new passport ( my old passport and the application had the correct mother name )
I have following questions:
1. Does embassy cancels the existing passport and issues new passport in such case ? OR
It makes correction in the existing passport.
What does it do in such cases?
2. If embassy cancels the current passport and issues the new passport then in that case I should go for this change after I got my H1B extension approval (because my H1B extension has the details of current passport). is my understanding correct?
3. Say I reqest for this change after getting the approval of H1 extension and I get a new passport from the indian embassy then in that case do I need to inform about that new passport to the USCIS.
What should be the best sequesnce OR way to correct all this.

I have a quick question about PERM requirements. I was told by my attorney that if I own my company�s stocks, I will be considered a part owner of the company and this will automatically trigger an audit.
My company is a private company and I was given some stock options with very few stocks that I have exercised. I will really appreciate your response.

Our checks were cashed today (both for me and my husband). Our application (I 140/I485 conc.) was July 2nd @NSC received by R Williams. They were cashed in Texas. We did not even get the receipt notices yet. Thus, the wait sounds longer for us.

Some 63,000 flights had been canceled in Europe by the end of Sunday, in the four days since the air space of northern Europe was shut down by an enormous ash cloud from an erupting volcano beneath the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland.
Passengers are scrambling to find alternative travel routes. German tourists are being bussed home from Spain, while the Royal Navy is sending military ships to Spain to bring home stranded Brits. Thousand of Europeans are also stuck in the US with no option to leave at this time. Many visitors are worried about the implications of not being able to leave before their current status expires.
Foreign nationals stranded in the U.S. because of the airport closures in Europe due to the Icelandic volcano eruption and who are about to exceed their authorized stay in the U.S. have two avenues for relief. If at an airport and traveling under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), they should contact the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office at the airport. They may also contact the local U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office. Both Department of Homeland Security agencies have provided their staff and offices with guidance on the applicable legal authorities under the VWP in circumstances such as this.
Persons traveling under a visa should contact the nearest USCIS office and follow the instructions below. While these instructions recommend initiating the process 45 days in advance, USCIS is providing reminder guidance on how to handle such cases until normal flights are scheduled between the U.S. and foreign countries affected by the Icelandic volcanic activity.
We keep monitoring the situation and will update our readers as we obtain more news.

you can file for a change of status to H-1, but you cannot begin working until the change of status is approved. Alternatively, you can travel to a US Consul, obtain an H-1 visa, re-enter the US using the H-1 visa and then begin work.

Hi All,
I recently got my I140 approved and I am waiting to file my I485 as my priority date(Oct 2007) is still not current(EB2 category, India).Not sure how long it is going to take as the current backlog is July 2000 for India and China.
My brother is a citizen of the US and I need to clarify if my brother can apply for a family-based green card for me and how long does it take to get the EAD when applied through this process as compared to filing through the employer when I reach my priority date.
Also need to clarify if this process is sooner or still the same as applying through the employer.
Thanks in advance.

Why would anyone want to go 2 steps behind when already on last stage of getting GC. Won't it be like giving an 10th class exam again when you are already graduate and about to receive an job ?
Can PERM Labor be filed by an employer for a dependent who is in AOS?
Dependent has EAD and working.

pnagar: (1) Employment Verification Letter with your Job roles, responsibilties, which should match/similar to your GC labor; and your annual income. (2) Once your 140 is approved and 180 days have passed after filing 485; it will not affect you even if your employer withdraws the 140 application. It will affect only if USCIS revokes based on fraud grounds.
For the PD of 07, it is a long way to GC with out the help of organization like IV - If you have time, take look at the omnibus fund raising and help in anyway you can.

Not really digital, but an amazing accomplishment. From the Nikon press area:
Record breaking Nikon F5
Service engineers at Nikon�s German Service Centre were amazed to discover during routine servicing recently that a Nikon F5 had achieved 1,092,904 shutter releases without fault.
Translating into about 35 kilometers of film this figure is a testament to the durable design of the mechanism, now also shared by the latest Nikon D2H Professional Digital SLR.
To put the 1,092,904 shutter releases into context, it equates to 34 hours of continuous shooting at 8 frames per second.
The camera is one of the bodies used in the Matthaus Photographic Studio in Nuremburg, Germany.
Nikon Germany�s Service Manager Joachim Hoffman said: �This is the most shutter releases I have ever seen. The F5 shutter is, in my opinion, definitely more durable than any other camera�s. Because the F5 in question was well looked after and serviced regularly, that makes it last longer- it�s a bit like going to the dentist!� he added.

(I'm a new member to this forum)
My H1B extension was approved for only 6 months, based on the SOW (Client Contract) end date (rather than the usual 3 year extension).
I would be just about in my maternity leave for the pregnancy during the petition expiry and if my further extension is denied (god forbid), I was told that I would be terminated from my employers' payroll and I have to leave the country or change my status to Student, Visitor etc.
FYI: I'm working for this company since Oct 2005.
Is there any law that prohibits termination of a worker during her PREGNANCY DISABILITY LEAVE (MATERNITY LEAVE) Or FMLA (Family and Medical Leave) on the basis that the USCIS didn't approve the petition (god forbid)?

Dear IV users,
for the first time I/m doing self-filing could you please answer my naive questions?
1. How could I know which service center to file? I have my current EAD with me with the card and attached paper work and it says it is from Nebraska Service Center - so is this the service center I need to re apply?
2. Where can I find the mailing address for this service center?
3. Should I send a copy of my passport and other immigration history documents for renewal?
Please reply at your convenience.

I was looking through my LC and 140 documents and found out that there are two different job titles in LC. One is Employer Job title which is "Analyst Programmer" other one is prevailing wages occupational title which is "Computer Systems Analyst". My question is what should be my Title at new employer?
Programmer, analyst programmer, developer, software engineer, sr. software engineer, sys analyst, etc., are all the same.
The gray area starts when a developer moves into business development or becomes a manager.
