Before starting the application process for permanent immigration, foreign nationals who enter the United States on non-immigrant visas (NIV) are considered to be here temporarily. The law presumes NIV holders intend to return to their home countries at the end of their stay in the United States. There are many NIV categories — student visas, business visas, visas for tourism, and investor treaty visas to name a few. While NIV applicants must have the intent to return to their home country, there are a few non-immigrant categories that allow a person to have dual intent, that is, to intend to be here temporarily now but eventually to immigrate. Prior to permanently immigrating to the United States, a foreign national will generally enter on a non-immigrant visa (dual intent NIV).
All NIV applicants are required to fill out an application form to the appropriate consular post and submit the DS forms according to the NIV category they are applying. The current forms available are DS-156, 157, 158, 156K, 3032). Currently, twelve consular posts are required to use Form DS-160, a Web-based NIV application form that incorporates all of the current NIV forms into one format via the Web site. When an NIV applicant fills out the form, the applicant has the option of uploading a digital photo. Once the form is submitted online, the NIV applicant will receive a confirmation page. The new DS-160 form is required in twelve posts (including Mexican and Canadian posts, Dublin, Hamilton, Hong Kong, and Tripoli), and the DS-160 form advances the NIV process since it is submitted in advance of the interview.
NIV applicants should make sure to utilize the appropriate DS form according to the consular post requirements currently in place.

If you spend more than 1 year and if you do not have approved I140 then you will be subject to H1b quota. I am not sure about it but I heard about this
Hi,
My H1B Visa expires in Aug 2009 (it was after first extension, till date i have already consumed 3 years 6 months in US). I have following questions,
1. After filing the extension next month, Can I leave to India immediately after getting the receiept (before approval). I might plan to come back to US after a year or so! I will be working at offshore for the same company.
2. If i leave a gap of 365 days, would i regain full 6 years after my re-entry in USA with the existing Visa itself?
I am very sorry if this is a repeated question, i did spend ample time investigating this query and then decided to post this in a thread.
Thanks,
Vibav

I am currently awaiting approval for my I-485. My priority date is August 2006 and I completed fingerprinting on Oct. 29th.
I understand the process of allocating green cards based on employment-based category and queuing based on the labor/priority date.
My question is regarding COUNTRY LIMITS. What role do these limits play in the approval process? To be more specific, if the applicant is from a country that has a very low number of GC requests, does the fulfillment of the country limit take precedence over the priority date/EB category or does it succeed the latter?
Please help....Thank you

My cousin is getting married to a US citizen in February 2009. I want to get information about K3 visa for spouse of US citizen. My questions are:
1. I have heard that it takes long time to get K3 visa, is that true?
2. If the above statement is true then what other visa option is best for her, visitor or fiance visa (K1 visa)?
3. Is it necessary that immigrant visa petition (greencard) is in process before applying for K3 visa?
Thank you all in advance for your help!!!!

the second charge of "false statement" to the officer is? That will look negatively on the character of the applicant.
In general traffic citations are minor misdemeanours. Not sure about fishing. But the second charge IMO is a bit serious.

We are posting the recent list of petitioners who received an approval in FY09 of Form I-129, requesting initial H-1B status for the beneficiary employee. Approximately 3,000 initial H-1B petitions are not accounted for on this list due to missing petitioner tax ID numbers.
While the full official final list of biggest H1B visa employers for FY2010 for the season has not been released, this preliminary list has been released for the Top employers this past US immigration year.
An H1B visa is a temporary working visa for professional positions, which allows foreign nationals to live and work in the U.S. for up to six years. This visa is an important tool for any employer to get the highly qualified technical expertise it needs to operate and grow its business.
If you compare the top 25 employers of US visas in 2009 to the past Top 100 H1B visa employers of FY2009, that many companies like InfoSys, Tata and Satyam have dropped substantially both in the number of US visas for foreigners applied for and their overall rank. In the cases of Tata and Satyam, they are not even on this top list anymore.
This further shows again both the fallacy of the arguments perpetuated by bigots in the US Congress and the US media about foreign companies (mainly Indian) taking the jobs of US citizens.

NIV Renewals - U.S. Diplomatic Mission Abuja, Nigeria (http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/niv_renewals.html) Check it out, it does not mention anything specific.
You cannot go to Mexico, it is out of picture (Visa Services (http://tijuana.usconsulate.gov/niv.html)).
Next option is for Canada, but if you do not have US education or experience in US as they clearly mention on consulate site of Canada (Visa Requirements • U.S. Consular Services in Canada (http://www.consular.canada.usembassy.gov/usa_visa.asp#ability)).
It is recommended to go to Home country for change of status or First time H1B visa stamping. The reason is, it is much easy to verify your education certificates, work related certificates etc if you are from your home country.

I got my Finger Printing notice today and I was comparing it with the 485 receipt. The 485 receipt had A# as A9xxxxxxx ( A with 8 digits) as the receipt number while the FP notice had A09xxxxxxx as the number.
The FP notice has a "0" after the "A" and the 485 notice does not have that 0. All the digits are the same but for the 0. Any one has it similar. do i need to worry abt it? any suggestions? You think i need to get it corrected?

have u seen the legal immigration/ foriegn workers issue address by Bush today. althou he spoke just 1-2 sentences. stating that ' legal immigration system needs to be fixed, so that foriegn workers are in no harm
Bush did not mention a single word about legal immigration. He was referring to foreign (limit/read that as Mexican) workers and putting in place programs to stem the flow of additional undocumented ones. He spoke just over a minute and there was not a bit to be gleeful about for legal immigrants.
have really started
What??
These tough times for folks like me have been there for the past several years. Now, I am hoping the letters campaign does make an impact and get the much required good will.
As a side note, seems like the writers have sort of given up already on his last year of his presidency as the entire speech was rather mundane. In a troubled time for the entire country with the economy down, house market bust, recession looming, he chose to highlight the past and glorify to garner legacy.
Will it be a year of inaction? I hope not, lets us do our bit by supporting efforts of IV.

YES! EAD is your license to work for any company, even for those not sponsoring you. It doesn't matter if your i140 is approved or not, you can work with EAD and that is legal.
