Foreign nationals may obtain their green cards by marriage through a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR). If the marriage is less than two years old at the time residence is granted, the foreign national will receive conditional resident status. The actual conditional residence card will have a two year validity date. Individuals who obtained their resident status based on a marriage less than two years are required to file Form I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions 90 days prior to the expiration date on the conditional residence card. Once the conditions are removed, the conditional resident status becomes permanent.
The petition to remove conditions should be accompanied with evidence establishing the validity of the marriage since being granted conditional resident status. Supporting documentation of a valid marriage may include:
· Birth certificates of children,
· a copy of the rent/apartment lease,
· mortgage payments,
· joint filing of tax returns,
· utility bills evidencing both names,
· copies of pictures,
· itineraries or boarding passes,
· insurance coverage listing both names,
· joint bank accounts,
· driver’s licenses evidencing both names,
· letters from family regarding knowledge of the marriage (including envelopes with postmarks),
· receipts for items purchased together (ie: furniture),
· cards written to both for a holiday, birthday, anniversary.
Other documents accompanying the Form I-751 include:
· A copy of the conditional residence card,
· Two passport style photos for the applicant,
· A certified copy of any arrest record and disposition of the case (for individuals who have been arrested or detained),
· A money order payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the amount of $545 for filing fees.
Kraft & Associates will answer your questions on conditional resident status and permanent residence. Call us at 214-999-9999.

I had contacted all the senators and house reps in New Mexico via their website and heard back from Senator Jeff Bingaman.
Please see his reply:
Thank you for your letter regarding relief measures to raise the quota of employment-based legal immigration visas. I appreciate your taking the time to write. I understand the important contributions made by high-skilled immigrant workers in our economy, and I will certainly keep your concerns in mind as we debate immigration reform in the 110 th Congress.
Again, thank you for writing. Please continue to keep me informed regarding this or any other issue of importance to you.

Hi,
My wife is on H4 and willing to apply for H1-B. Her educational qualifications
1.)High school education(12 yrs)
2.)BCA(Bachelor of Computer Applications)- 3 yrs
3.)2.5 yrs of IT experience
4.)She's also doing her M.Sc(Master of Science) in Information Technology. Currently in 2nd year and will be completing by end of 2006. (She may not have the degree certificate by April 2007).
Is she eligible to apply for H1-B for next year 2007
Thanks,
Kumar
It looks like she is. She has three years BCA and is short of 1 year but you said she has completed one year of MSc so using that one year plus three years BCA, she will be eligible. Make sure she has one full years of MSc trancripts. If she has deffered taking exams or something like this and has not completed the required credits then she might not be. I will suggest you to fax her transcripts to an evaluator and get an evaluation. It should cost $80-100 only but you will be able to sleep at night.

A frequent question that arises is whether a foreign national living in the United States for a certain number of years can obtain permanent residency based on the years of living in the United States. There is no law or regulation currently in place allowing foreign nationals to automatically obtain permanent residency based on the number of years residing in the United States. There are however, many ways foreign nationals can immigrate and obtain permanent resident status. Two ways to obtain permanent resident status are based on employment and family sponsorship.
One of the ways foreign nationals can obtain permanent residency is based on employment. The U.S. employer will sponsor the employee to qualify under a certain visa category. Specifically, the foreign national may qualify under one or more of the employment-based “EB” visa preference categories that are divided into four separate categories.
The four EB visa preference categories are:
EB-1: Extraordinary Ability, Professors, Researches, or Executives, filed on form I-140
EB-2: Exceptional Ability in the Sciences, Arts or Business, filed on form I-140
EB-3: Skilled Worker, Professional, Or Unskilled Worker, filed on form I-140
EB-4: Immigrant Religious Worker, filed on form I-360
Another process to obtain lawful permanent residence in the U.S. is through family sponsorship. That is, either a U.S. citizen or permanent resident family member or as a fiancé to a U.S. citizen and subsequent marriage. The process begins by either the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative filing form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative or form I-129F Petition for Alien Fiance with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). Just as in employment-based sponsorship, there are visa preference categories in family-based sponsorship. Family-based “FB” preference categories are divided into four categories.
FB-1: Unmarried sons and daughters of U.S. Citizens
FB-2A: Spouses and children of lawful permanent residents of the U.S.
FB-2B: unmarried sons and daughters of permanent residents of the U.S.
FB-3: Married sons and daughters of U.S. Citizens.
FB-4: Brothers and sisters of U.S. Citizens who are at least 21 years old.
The above preference categories are subject to a numerical limitation. More information on these visa categories is available at the U.S. Department of State’s visa bulletin at: www.travel.state.gov (http://www.travel.state.gov)

Based on these reasons:
1. EB legals doesn't really count when it comes to the consideration. For one, the numbers that are suffering are too small; for two, what you go through is nothing in the eye of Kennedy's --- you have a job, you have enough food, you are not dying in the desert....you are having a pretty decent life, except that you wanted more;
2. Senators like Sessions can still argue that "so many legal people are waiting in the line", because you are indeed still waiting even though you can now file 485. So allow you to file doesn't really change their argument;
3. What makes you think that if you shut up they are going to have a easy day? It's not like that you have any teeth to bite any way.
So the PD moves forward is definitely a good thing regardless how CIR plays out.
Mark my words.... President Bush will single handedly make sure to pass the bill as it is.....
No one can stop it.
Do you all think it is just a co incidense that all the dates became current just when this bill (which was supposed to be in grave :rolleyes: ) is revived by those who extremely opposed it?
Do you know how many people will stop giving a damn, because they just filed their 485 s?
People like me who are result of bad practice employers are still here, and lucky ones will depart.....
We have been dealt a crucial blow here.

Hi ,
my experience with O visa is that paperwork, presentation, previous track record of the lawyer with USCIS is critical
so in this case, absorbing the 5000 cost difference may be a good idea
Of course you can always ask your employer if they are willing to take that hit but as you know you have a 50 % chance there at the best
So decision is yours
If you're confident, you always have a change to get cleared everything.

I have used TataAIG insurance from India on 4-5 occasions for my in laws and my parents and I found it to be good. On one occasion we also got around $4000 reimbursed from them (in Indian Rupees) for the hospital expenses incurred for my in laws. Here is my take on the Visitor Insurance.
You have two options -
1> Get visitor medical insurance from USA (various company names are at www.samachar.com).
Advantages - Dont have to pay money upfront for hospital charges, but its kinda expensive then insurance from India.
2> Get visitor medical insurance from India
Advantages - this can cover insurance when in-flight also and for luggage also.
Disadvantages - Might have to pay money upfront for hospital expenses, and get reimbursed back in India.
Please note that this can be different from vendor to vendor. Also any existing ailments are not covered.

For tax purposes you are resident of state where you reside. For best opinion you can check with the international students center at your school. It is not illegal to attend classes online if your school allows you the option. Again for best advise contact international center they are supposed to guide you to keep your status legal.

My H1b application was delivered to USCIS on July 1st. I just find FLC data center has updated new 2008-2009 prevailing wage database which is also effective on July 1st. If based on the previous 2007-2008 database, my salary is above the prevailing wage, but if based on the new one, my salary is a little below that one.
Which database whill USCIS choose to use on my case?
Sounds like the new one.

Hi,
In DS-156 form there is an item 36 which says "Has anyone ever filed an immigration visa petition on your behalf",
What should be entered for H4 visa holder whose 485 has been filed.
And if we have to say "Yes" to this question , then whose name should be mentioned in "If Yes ,Who?", should it be the spouse name or the spouse company name ?
Thanks

For most Lawyers handing H1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html)cases, the problem with the Labor Condition Application (LCA) system has become a nightmare. Some cases take almost 14 days to be resolved and the FEIN denials are completely unreasonable.
Finally, the USCIS Ombudsman release a set of recommendations to handle the recent problems.
In August and September 2009, the Ombudsman received complaints concerning H-1B cases with incorrectly denied Labor Condition Applications (LCA/ETA-9035) filed with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). LCA processing delays and errors at DOL, when coupled with USCIS� current H-1B petition initial filing requirements, are prejudicing employers and individuals who are unable to timely file original or extension H-1B visa petitions. Untimely H-1B petition filings lead to
problems, including: (1) the potential loss of employees� legal status; (2) business operation disruptions due to the loss of continuity in the employment of key employees; and (3) economic loss to employees in the form of lost wages and costs of travel overseas due to loss of status. USCIS has the authority to mitigate the impact upon these customers.
To mitigate the impact of LCA processing difficulties, the Ombudsman recommends that USCIS:
(1) Reinstate USCIS� previous practice of temporarily accepting an H-1B petition (Form I- 129) supported by proof of timely filing of an LCA application with DOL, and issue a
Request for Evidence (RFE) whereby the H-1B petitioner later provides the certified
LCA; and
(2) Establish a temporary policy under which USCIS would excuse late H-1B filings where the petitioner has documented an LCA submission to DOL that was improperly
rejected.
Given that Form I-129 instructions say a petitioner must provide evidence that an LCA has been filed with DOL, and that USCIS has previously accommodated petitioners in nearly the same circumstances, implementing these recommendations as a temporary solution is warranted. We welcome the above referenced guidance, and hope this will assist many H1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) filers that are in need of faster processing.
