1. Can he own a coroporation while his status on OPT? I know one can own a corporation if his/her status is on H1B.
Yes
2. If he own corporation with his current status (OPT) and if he files his H1B in year 2010; what issue might he face?
If the H1B is filled by his company it will be rejected. If it is filled by another company then there are no issues.
3. Are there any legal obligations to own a corporation while his status on OPT? Or does he require to take any extra measures / precautions to own this coporation?
Yes, just make sure that you file all forms and pay all taxes :( even if you are not in US.
Note: He just wants own this company and not plan to do anything much to it until he settles down and he wanted utilize this oppertunity.

I just found this link (http://immigrationvoice.blogspot.com/) where this topic is already covered. Mods, please remove my post (and maybe it would make sense to create threads specific to the USCIS/DOS mess up to - at the moment it does not look very organized to me and it is hard to find information. Maybe sub-threads with "law suit", "publicity" would channel comments better?)
--------------------------------------
I only read about an article in two online newspapers but believe this whole topic should get significantly more attention. I do not know if that is going to help to get this started but I sent an e-mail to our local TV stations and hope that some may be interested and even pick it up. Again, no idea if this is going to work but I assume that if they get more e-mails regarding the same topic, interest will come up....

Hi,
With having many international operating companies in the U.S. who all employ legal alliens who are going through the "greencard process" to become legal permanent residents, the Department of State (DOS) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have destroyed many plans, caused significant financial loss for applicants and very likely acted against the law. Here is an open letter from congresswoman Lofgren which explains the situation a little bit more detailed: http://lofgren.house.gov/PRArticle.aspx?NewsID=1808
I think this would be well worth a few minuted report - everybody is talking about the pain that the illegal immigrants go through but (without taking away anything from that), the pain of legal alliens having to deal with the willful behavior of USCIS and DOS is not much better.
If you would be interested in more information, I would be more than happy to help.
Best regards,

My wife's and mine EAD renewal was applied on the 23rd of July (company lawyer delayed filing). I received mine in 30 days but my wife's case is still pending, though I am working on my H1 and don't need it. My wife's current EAD expires today, is there anything we can do to get the process to move faster or get her case expediated other than just wait till 90 days. There are lots of people I know who received their EADs even though their applications were sent much later. If the discontinuity is long, my wife may loose her job.
Please help. Many thanks.

1.Did anybody have recently got H1B stamping done in Hyderabad consultate.
Yes, I got it done in October.
2. Any issues with getting appointment dates.
No. The only issue I had was that they don't let you book well in advance, which makes it difficult to plan travel. Also, I did not realize until the last minute that you need to submit your documents 4 days in advance before the interview. Luckily one of my friends told me about it and I was able to request my dad to submit the documents in time. Not sure what would have happened if I did not submit the documents upfront...may be, they might have still allowed me in.
3. I have all the documentation in place including pay stubs in the last 8 years.
Good. I have been working for 8 years as well and took the paystubs for just this year(2010) and tax returns for past 3 years. But, they did not ask anything as I was renewing for the same company for the same job. They just asked what I do for the company.
4. Is it preferable to get stamping done in Canada than in Hyderabad,
I prefer Hyd as that is where my parents live and I don't have to waste travel fares, visa fees (for canada visa), hotel, vacation etc by going to canada. I just got it done when visiting my parents. If you live close to Canada or have special travel needs, then may be Canada should be considered.
5. How many days does it take to get the passport back.
7 days total I think, including weekend.
Yes, I got it done in October.

Hello Attorneys / Experts,
Thanks for this great service... Appreciate if you can pl provide your inputs to my situation below :
Jan'09 : My Employer submitted 7th year H1B extension - Vacation Recapture + Extension based on pending I-140
Feb'09 : RFE was issued asking information related to Company
Feb'09 : H1B - 6 Years completed : H1B Visa / I-94 Expired in Passport
Mar'09 : RFE responded with the requested information
Apr 10, 2009 : USCIS Denied H1B Extension petition.
I understand from my employer that I can no longer be on the US payrolls and that I've to leave the country in 180 days.
Is Motion to Reopen (MTR) / Appeal is an option to legally stay in US ? If MTR is submitted, can I continue to work for the employer / client and get paid ?
Appreciate your inputs in this area.

Could someone help me with this issue, please?
I applied for I-140 and I-485 in August 2007...my PD is sept. 2005, Eb3....
...I saw online the following message for I-140( I don't know what RFE was about:
Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed.
"On January 24, 2008, we received your response to our request for evidence. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. You should expect to receive a written decision or written update within 60 days of the date we received your response unless fingerprint processing or an interview are standard parts of case processing and have not yet been completed, in which case you can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done."
My notice date for I-140 is Oct. 4th 2007 and receipt date is August 16th 2007...I've done my fingerprints in december 2007...my question is:....
......does it mean that Uscis will approve or deny I-140 within 60 days like they said above...even though the processing times for I-140 in Nebraska is Jan 2007?
What does the above message mean?
Does this mean Uscis is working on my I-140?
Could someone clarify this please? Anyone faced a similar situation?
I would highly appreciate your reply.
Thanks in advance!

Why not microsoft? The rest of high tech industry will not survive if they can't move their 60% of operations outside of USA. Bone headed congress will continue to come up with legislation that encourage illegal immigration and discourage legal immigration. Sounds like 19th century for UK, 20th century for USA and 21st century for China and India. Dollar declines and what is the use of GC? I am thinking of going back where the growth is.
In the last radio show that IV was invited (cannot recall which one), one of the premier companies had in fact opined that they will move the jobs overseas if the doors are not opened here. Most probably the company was Oracle.

Friends,
I have had my GC for about two and a half months now. I am currently checking out SOA consultant positions with a consultancy in Saudi Arabia. I don't know the length of the contracts yet. Can I work out of USA and still apply for Citizenship after the wait of 4 years and 9 months ? Does this require me to stay a certain amount of time in USA for every year ? What are the tax implications ? Would I have to file taxes on the income that I earned out of USA ? Thank you.

2. If COS to L2 is approved, Can I work on my old H1B again if I find an employer who is ready for transfer?
3. If I travel to my home country(India), will my H1B visa be cancelled? as currently i don't have any H1B approval.
4. Whether the Request For Evidence(REF) on my H1B transfer will have any implication on L2 stamping?
Please help ..

Hello friends,
I filed for I-485 in mid-June 2007 but never received the receipt notice
(due to the issue described in this thread: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11788&highlight=undeliverable).
After months of calling USCIS (probably called at least 10-15 times over past 6 months) and having the lawyer send a written letter, I still did not receive the receipt notice as the customer service reps kept telling me that USCIS doesn't send a duplicate receipt notice.
When I saw that one of my friends who had the same issue received a "Replacement Receipt Notice" after calling them numerous times, I decided to call them again. I was able to convince one of the reps to put in a service request requesting "resend whatever was returned to USCIS as undeliverable".
I finally received a letter from USCIS that they will resend the receipt notice but it has been a few weeks since then and I still have not received the promised receipt notice.
Now I need to file for EAD ASAP but it requires you to attach the receipt notice (Notice of Action I-797C or I-797??).
(lawyer didn't file for EAD with I-485 as I have H1)
So my question is:
Can I use the Biometric appointment notice (ASC Appointment Notice I-797C) instead of I-485 Receipt Notice I-797 to file EAD form I-765 as a proof that I filed I-485 ?
What are the odds that they will send my EAD application back saying that I need the actual I-485 receipt notice?
What are my options?
Thanks in advance!

Hello All,
I have my EAD as does my wife. We are still on valid H1s (until 2009) and I have no plans to change my employer. We also received our travel documents. The question I have, and need your input on is can my wife travel (to India) and back on her H4 (even though we've filed for adjustment of status) or does she have to use her Advance Parole to do so?
I apologise if this question's been asked before and thank you in advance for your answers. Please email the same to me at skakodker@hotmail.com if you feel that is more convenient.
Best regards,
Sunil

Hi guys,
I have an urgent case regarding the I-485 initial evidence. I sent out my I-485 application w/ I-864 and I-864A back in November, 2009. I am a F-1 visa holder currently in PhD program with around 21,000 stipend per year. My wife which is the petitioner (I-864) has no income and she filed a I-864 with my stipend in the first I-864 form. Since I am the beneficial and the instruction said that I didn't have to include my W-2 form. My parents in law had a joint account together. My father in law filed another I-864 form with his stipend of 20,000, and my mother in law filed a I-864A form with her stipend of 20,000. They have joint tax returns, and I have given immigration the copy of their 3 years W-2 and 1040 form.
A few days ago, immigration has send me request for initial evidence (I485) with the check marks says
1. The household member on the petitioner/sponsor's form I -864, must submit the federal income tax return submitted to the IRS for the most recent tax year.
2. The household member on the petitioner/sponsors form I-864, and I-864A must submit all supporting tax documentation (W-2s) submitted to the IRS for the most recent tax year.
My question is, I have submitted my parents in law's tax return for 2006 to 2008. we do not have the year 2009 because it is not going to be ready until April. What do they want?

A few days ago, immigration has send me request for initial evidence (I485) with the check marks says
1. The household member on the petitioner/sponsor's form I -864, must submit the federal income tax return submitted to the IRS for the most recent tax year.
2. The household member on the petitioner/sponsors form I-864, and I-864A must submit all supporting tax documentation (W-2s) submitted to the IRS for the most recent tax year.
My question is, I have submitted my parents in law's tax return for 2006 to 2008. we do not have the year 2009 because it is not going to be ready until April. What do they want?
