I am a nurse from the Philippines currently living in northern California, enrolled in university, working towards my masters degree. I currently have a F1 student visa, have already passed the NCLEX and also hold a Philippines RN license. I don't have any work experience as a nurse besides my clinical experience as a student. I wanted to know what my current options are? I have a company willing to sponsor me on the east coast. I was referred to them by my sister-in-law who is currently working for them. I spoke to the companies recruiter but she couldn't answer some of my more detailed immigration questions.
I just wanted to get some options from some helpful members here. I currently have an appointment with an immigration lawyer next week but wanted to be somewhat inform on my options before meeting with the lawyer.
I know their is a long wait currently for nurses coming from the Philippines. Does it make my situation a little easier considering I am already in the US on a F1 visa? I was told that if they were to lift retrogression for nurses that I would be process asap because I am currently living in the US legally... I seriously have my doubts about this lol.
Any insight on my current situation is much appreciate.
Thank you all very much,
Sheryn:)
A lot of nursing jobs dont need a 4 yr bachelor's degree and thats why you cant use
H1B for that unless the specialised nursing jobs needs a bachelors.
Therefore (thankfully) Nurses are directly applied for Green Card EB3. However there
is significant backlog even for ROW EB3. There is lobby effort to allocate green card quota for nurses like they did in 2004.
The employer (with the lawyer help) will file I140 for you and when the PD is current you can file I485.
But since you are on F1 visa, filing I140 you might have problem with the non immigrant intent clause at the
port of entry.

Friends,
I am currently working at a systems company based on my EAD (H1 has expired). PD is Jun 2006.
I intend to marry a woman who is currently on F1 visa. I would like to know if there are any pitfalls from immigration point of view.
Renewing her F-1 visa stamp could be an issue as F-1 requires non-immigration intent (it is very difficult to make a case that she does not want to immigrate to US when her husband is in US on the green card route).
I understand that she can get an EAD only when my PD becomes current.
Can she file her I-485 petition based on my approved I-140?
Yes, that's how a spouse would submit I-485 petition.
If yes, would she continue in F1 status (or what will her status be?).
Her F-1 status will no longer be valid; she will be in the so-called "AOS".
Any other potential pitfalls in this particular scenario?
Any pointers would be useful.
Thanks in advance.

I found this really old post 11 2004. I saw your tutorial for coloring code. I am need a coloring page for www.walrusdogblues.com My fantasy is to have five colors red blue and yellow black and white. and the ability to drop them in the drawings as needed to blend the colors. If that is too complicated then something simpler. My illustrator will try and make crisp lines to drop color into. am I dreaming? "Money is no object"

URGENT ACTION ITEM
I've asked this of narrower groups, and no luck so far.
Tomorrow, Tuesday is the last day for this, Wednesday at the outside.
If you are in MI and have an immigration attorney in MI then call him/her ASAP. Ask if they know any motor company or big corporate executives here on visas. If they do we would like one to testify on Thursday. If not testify then at least add name to a list of executives.
Alternatively, if anyone in big motor company knows of foreign executive, either email me contact details, or ask them yourself, if I ask there is no come back on you. For just create a list of foreign executives and give to me with their job titles, and even phone numbers.
We have a plan and we have a chance of getting bill 962 revised.

Hello,
I will be getting married to a H1 holder in India and because of the time involved in obtaining a marriage certificate, am planning to leave shortly after the wedding with my existing B2/tourist visa. What are my options of applying for a H4 once I do that - would I have to come back to India to apply for that, or can it be done from Canada/Mexico - are there any risks pertaining to intent of travel associated with such an action. Thanking you in advance for valuable help in this matter!

He can do that, but there is a chance that the CIS will reject the change of status application on the basis of preconceived intent. If he does come here, he should wait 60 days before filing the change of status application. My recommendation is that he apply for an H-4 abroad and then enter using the H-4 visa.

My details are as follows:
My details :
H1 - six year completion in Oct 2010.No H1 stamping on passport
EAD - valid upto Oct 2010. Applied for renewal in Aug 2010.
AP - valid till Dec 2010
Even though I had EAD, I never used it for employment.
I returned to US last month.I used AP at poe since I didn't have project.
Please advice.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I am also thinking abt applying for Canada PR?How much would it cost? Is location specific?
Again, looking at the website might help u more get the whole picture and all the details, than asking a question or two on forums http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp
The cost varies by family size. For a family of 4, in the beginning u'll need 1000-2000 for application fees and to prepare ur documents. one or two years later, you'll need another 1000-2000 for medical exams and landing/visa fees.
If you apply to the federal program, you are allowed to go anywhere except quebec. There is also a provincial program in each province that allows u to immigrate to that province, but then again u can move later..

Similar case. My lawyer told me that we can't apply the second I140 under premium because the original labor is gone with the first I140. So, I could not wait for second I140 and went ahead and filed for 485 under EB3.

Yes that is right. The biometrics is essentially only for I-485 and that is the only LUD that may get updated.
i did the same... selected 485 only, i asked the lady who checked ID she said that was ok...
also if you think about it the FP notice was for 485, if EAD or AP requires FP we should get separate FP notices init? :) (thats my take on it)

'Masala Dosa' and I met with staff of Senators Mel Martinez and Bill Nelson. The meetings went very well. We had the opportunity to see the compromise announcement on the floor while we were in the office of Senator Martinez. That was a good deal.
We talked about IV, our individual cases, the need for reform and possible amendments the Senators could raise - like parity with agricultural workers (ability to self-sponser greencard), I-485 application even when priority not current, backlog elimination center update and the need to push it through, support for existing immigration reform bill, explained why the hard country limit is bad for Indians, Chinese and Philippinos and urged them to talk about keeping the limit at 10% and yet allowing unused numbers to flow to India and China.
One observation we had was that the staff had no clue what is the difference between H-1B and Greencard processing. So we spent some time educating them about how the quotas are formed, the caps etc ...
We have them all the material mentioned in the IV site for reading. Hopefully the feedback trickles down to the Senators and we get to have some of our amendments. The best part of it whether these amendments come or not is that we made an attempt to explain our problems to Senators.
Overall, it was a fruitful trip, and a well spent day. I will continue to follow up with the Senators office and keep in touch with the staff. 'Masala Dosa' will follow up with staff at his place.
We need to move on to the next step and target who would be on the committee for reconciling House and Senate versions. I am looking forward to folks who are knowledgeable in this matter to come forward and give the info.
Let us make this bill through this time and get our greencards. :D

It is always good to maintain L1A status. I think best way to apply your L1A extention under premium & family under normal. I think premium fee is only for primary application & not dependent. If anything goes wrong with I140, you will be ground zero on status. In that case, You may have to leave the country immediately.

If dates stay current (expected for maybe July), I-485 processing is FIFO based on receipt date of I-485.
If dates retrogress, I-485 processing is FIFO based on PD.
