I am EB3 - Dec 2004 filer and there is no hope for few years that my date get current. i have filed another GC through my sister in May 2006 and that F4 category is moving quicker and expecting my priority date will be current in 5 years through my sister.

i have bought 2 Family house in Jersey City. now for my kids education we thought to move to India for 4 to 5 years until we get call for GC though my sister.
we are going to rent house - it's multi family near NYC. my landloard is willing to take care of it in our absence.

my Q is can we get B1 (Visitor visa) for 10 years , if we show that we have property in US and we may need to visit just to take check it ??
should we inform immigration officer about GC filed though my sister to assure that we will not stay in US longer, to get B1 visa?
can we get visitor visa before leaving USA? i mean converting from H1 to B1 for multi year?

i would appreciate some suggestions.

Yes, as long as you have valid AP, you can re-enter and resume working on a valid EAD.

No need to staple.

Thank you very much for your reply Elaine!

I have an I-485 filed under EB2 category and have used the Advance Parole documents to travel outside US. As a result my I-94 states my status as "PAROLEE".

I recently got my EB1-I-140 (Extraordinary Ability) approved and my lawyer wanted me to apply for a new I-485 saying that transferring a I-485 gets rejected more often.

However, on knowing that my I-94 states that I am a Parolee she tells me that she cannot apply for a new I-485. Is that true?

Urgent response will be greatly appreciated.

You can do it for your friends if you can able to support them while they are in US.
Can we sponsor visitor visa for friends or is it only for relatives?.

Hey HybridIllusion,
It all depends on what format your 2d image is in. If it is in AI or EPS, you can automatically import the image into Swift 3D and animate it. If it is a JPG or GIF, you might have a few more steps before importing into Swift 3D.

Take your image and import it into Flash. Export the Flash animation as AI (adobe illustrator) by going to File | Publish Settings | File Types tab. Check the AI box and then publish the movie. The image will be exported in the AI format. From the AI format, you can import into Swift 3D and animate with no limitations.

EB2 - NIW National Interest Waiver (Special Considerations for a green card)

Stealth protectionism on the immigration front is surfacing again in Congress. Two odd bedfellows -- self-described socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (D.VT) and A+ anti-immigration lawmaker, Chuck Grassley (R. IA) -- are at it again. Earlier in the year, the duo inserted the Employ American Workers Act into the stimulus legislation (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) -- something I called "Protectionist Turducken" -- to prevent the hiring of H-1B workers by recipients of TARP and Federal Reserve funding. On Nov. 19, they proposed the "Employ America Act," a bill (S. 2804) which would require employers of over 100 workers who...

One week (wife and I) here in S. Florida.

It's been several years since the employment-based preference categories developed huge backlogs. However, no one was prepared for today's announcement from the State Department that most of the family-based categories will retrogress between one and three years beginning on January 1, 2011. Consider the worldwide categories: Beginning in January 1, the 1st preference category (unmarried sons and daughters of U.S. citizens) goes from a 5-year to a 6-year wait. The story is much, much worse in the 2A category (spouses and children of permanent residents) where the wait expands from a mere 4 months to 3 years, a 9-fold increase....

Hello all,

I applied for I485 + I150 in June 2007 under EB3. My I-140 is still pending.

Employer used a preappr labor with PD of May 2005. However, the lawyer gave me only the ETA 750B portion of the labor to fill

Now, from some forum I found out that PERM was started in March 2005 and the form was 9089 to be used for labor after march 2005 filings.

So, how did my employer file my labor using ETA750B part which was applicable for old labors since my PD is May 2005 which is after the PERM?

Lawyer and Employer are not willing to help, hence reaching out.

Hi All,

I am applying my Labor on EB2 tomorrow (07/26/2007). Is there any glim chacne for me to get the approval before 08/14/2007? I am going through Atlanta. Please let me know how long is the average time to get the cetification from atlanta center. (One of my friend applied on 07/17/07 and got the LC on 07/23/07 from atlanta center).

Thanks All.

You could take a look at Track it. It will give you an idea of Atlanta backlogs . You could have a very good chance at Chicago though . Your friend was one in a million lucky and you could be one too .

did the court rule on the AZ law yesterday? can't find it in the news........

I am hoping there will be some sort of action that will force federal govt to take up immigration reform.

I do not think so. I believe these are two separate issues and should not have any effect on the chances of your frnd securing visa.
