Tks Metr - strange but thats logic then - cant argue that, wonder why ok for H1 and not on O1 - both r dual intent, I blv, unless O1 is seen as restrictive from that count.. well tks anyway for the heads up

reconnecting on this - need some perspective please
- can someone please update the latest facts on "whether there is need for AP" on pending I485 and passport having stamped O1.
- In my case there will be business and personal travel, and so can one do that on existing and valid O1 or does one need to go for AP and EAD?
- is it true I485 will be deemed abandoned should one have no AP

thanks...

Somnath is denied because he has transferred job (on OPT) before obtaining H-1B, IO think he had 2 weeks out of status and Somnath was arguing with IO (absolutely no no as far as I can understand).
Will try to ask him to petition for his reentry. If he can't get back, I will help him to transfer his money and pay the loan. I think he was extremely upset and said sth like I do not want to come back!

Hello,

I am confused and want some one to shed some light on my situation. I have an Advance parole and I have recently got my Canadian Citizenship and I have a Canadian and a Brazilian passport(country of born). I am in Canada right now. I am not sure which passport to to use to enter the US. I would prefer to keep my Canadian passport and use AP. Would it make a difference or have any problems?

Thanks.

Normally, anyone that resides in the US on a lawful status is a legal resident

Buying a house in itself should not be an issue. You will probably get a good deal. But if God forbid your application does not make it, or something else comes up that requires you to leave the country, what then? Selling a house is not quite as easy anymore from what I understand. I also read somewhere that you might get a bit higher rate mortgage unless you are atleast a green card holder. Find it hard to believe.

I have the 20% down payment for a house lined up. It gonna stay safely in the bank until the green card shows up. Just my point of view.

I bought a 4000 sq ft house in Feb 2008, My PD is Aug 2005 EB2.
Live a life man, the moments of life once gone is gone. Waiting for GC and then buying is not a way of life.

This is my personal opinion.
I am enjoying my life with my family. I have H1B till 2010 and also hold a Canadian GC which I kept it as a backup :)

To address these vulnerabilities, FDNS recommended a number of enhancements to USCIS procedures for adjudicating petitions for skilled and unskilled workers, including the following.
• Perform a name and address check on the petitioner to help establish the legitimacy of the petitioner. Current USICS policy only requires record checks be done on the alien beneficiary.
• Conduct targeted site visits to verify the legitimacy and eligibility of both the petitioner and alien beneficiary including, for example, verifying the location of the employer and the employer’s ability to pay the offered wage, as well as the alien beneficiary’s credentials.
• Enable adjudicators to electronically e-mail or telephone the employer to verify that the employer filed the petition and intends to employ the alien beneficiary.
• Verify the work experience alien beneficiaries claim to have acquired outside the United States because their work experience is vital to determining their qualifications and therefore whether they are eligible for the benefit sought.
• Require the employer to notify USCIS or withdraw the petition when the position is no longer available, or when there is a change in employment. According to FDNS’s report, many of the alien Page 25 GAO-09-55
Permanent Residence Application Fraud
beneficiaries do not report to work for the employer, or the applications are for family members or friends. In these cases, the employer had no intent to hire the alien beneficiary and the beneficiary had no intent to work for the employer. According to FDNS’s report, both were using the employment petition as a vehicle for the alien beneficiary to obtain lawful permanent resident status. According to FDNS, to close this loophole, a regulatory/statutory amendment would have to be made that requires an employer to notify USCIS every time the alien beneficiary leaves employment, or when the job offer is no longer

hi, see the link below which is proposed by

http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d0955.pdf

check on the pages between 29 and 30 ; may be for some reason they picked up your case and good to see everything went fine for you.
But I believe this is coming near future; it is proposed but not much studied by law makers as some of the changes need law changes so it may take a while. Meantime USCIS can run test run like your case.

Excuse me????????

I must honestly say that I get very annoyed at the many ways that persons try to beat the system and are so bold with it. It is always best to do things honorably, transparently and legally. You will never have anything to fear when you do it that way.

If Parents are considered resident for tax purposes after 180 days does that mean their income globally is taxable aswell?

---

Nobody can take away your GC once approved except when it was acquired through fraud.
If there is no fraud then you have nothing to worry.

---

---

you can't claim non resident alien for tax propose.

---

---

You are safe to go if you are let go after GC approval.

As I said again, for these people who argue hard for 180 days-staying rule after GC approval, why don't your people just give one actual example of denied citizenship/troubling for the reason of changing employer right after GC? What's the harsh of arguing? Stop arguing and just give us one actual example? One is enough and we all going to believe you.
