我的EB1A 140 cc 485同时寄给USCIS的TC中心,后来又转到NC。485 RD的日期(12/21/2015)刚刚过了我J1签证(已waiver)的最后期限(12/14/2015),虽然是合法居留(valid stay)但没有了合法身份(out of status)。一直在找给H1B的工作到现在还没有结果。如140批了,可485会不会被拒?因为看到你说是“申请人当前身份必须合法”(你的原话“然而,非移民申请如果被拒,其 I-485 也将面临同样的结局。引申来说,在 AOS 状态再申请 I-485,是瞎子点灯白费蜡。”

皮匠老师,you answered my question last time about my wife's application from F1 to H4. Thank you. I have another question:
My H-1B will expire in September 2011 and my application for extension of H1B to 2014 has been approved. But my wife's application from F1 to H4 (her I-539) has been submitted based on my old I-129 (expiration date is 9/10/2011) and is pending now. So I am wondering if I can change that pending application so it will be based on new I-129? or we have to file the second I-539 based on my new I-129 (expiration date is 9/10/2011) even the old one is pending. Thanks.

In the I-863 form for the green card application for my parents, I am the only sponor.
Therefore
I will put my annual income (my W-2 Item 1) as the household income in Line 23
and I will put my annual income (my W-2 Item 1) in Line 25, as the 2010 federal tax return number. Even though the AGI shown in the feretal tax return (form 1040) also includes my husband's income, I will not use that number, since it includes my husband's income and he is not the sponsor.
Thank you so much for your kindly help in your busy time!

In the I-864 form, I only put my annual income in Line 23, since my annual income is enough to support and my husband’s income is not needed.
However, what should I put in Line 25, where it asks for the income from the federal tax return. The federal tax return is jointly filed and it automatically includes my husband’s income in the tax return.

你好pjiang老师,在下有一问题,劳烦予以答疑
老婆opt即将到期,准备申请转h4, 我的h1b是08年F1-opt转过来的
and will expire 9/10/2011. the application for extension of my H1b has been filed on 4/06/11. (pending)
现在在填表的时候有个问题,在I539form part3中2和3应该勾选哪一个?
2,is this application based on an extension or change of status already granted to your spouse, child, or parent?
3,is this application based on a separate petition or application to give your spouse, child, or parent an extension or change of status?
if pick 2, it seems she has to file extension again in 09/2011.
if pick 3, she can request the requested date of 09/2014 (my H1B 3 year extension) ?
老师,我曾参编一本“人民军医出版社”出版的书,有老师告诉我申请绿卡的材料中尽量避免有MILITARY的词出现,是这样的吗?如果我写了people's militarry medical press 会有麻烦吗?如何避免?我准备申请EB1A

2.关于汇款:人在国内,到底该怎么汇款?在I140 instruction说:“the check or money order must be drawn on a bank of other financial institution located in the United States”是否只能让人从美国汇?如果自己操办,该如何进行?地址填什么,才能确保U.S. Department of Homeland Security收到?

I am sorry I cannot input Chinese charaters in office. I have a question regarding the DS-230 form after the I-824 approval. I received my green card last month and my son's I-824 approved last week. My questions are:
(1) In form DS-230 part II has a Petitioner Address section. Should be my address or my son's address?
(2) In form DS230 Part I has a section regarding his mother's information: should he fill in his step-mother's information or his bi-mother's information? I divorced 11 yrs ago and living with his step-mother currently. He is living with bi-mother now.

Thank you for your response. I already read your post regarding traveling while H1/H4 pending. My question is really to your statement in that post,
在当前 H-1b 批准书过期后入境
因为你的 H-1b 批文已经过期,新的却还未批,不管是申请签证还是申请入境,都是不能批的。你的机会只在于等待新的延期申请的批准书。
I fall into this category, so when you say, your only chance is to wait for the approval of new application of renewal. Does it mean that, I can take the chance to leave US, and in case my renewal is approved before the date when I come back to US, I can use that approved renewal to enter US?
Or I should never take chance on that, just do not leave US before my new application is approved.
请问pjiang老师,
My current H1B expired on 7/15/2010, and my renewal application is still pending (it was received 6/1/2010). I really need to go back China in 2 weeks, and my HR called USCIS and they said they are working on cases received on 5/15 now. Can I still go back China in 2 weeks without this renewal approved? Or if my case will be approved right before my travel date, but I only see approval status online but not received the paper approval yet, can I just go and ask HR to mail that to me.
I am really frustrated now with this renewal stuck and delaying my back to China trip. And I really appreciate any advice or suggestions.

如果我很快file一个新的申请(MTR被deny之后两个礼拜之内),是不是有可能我的老case(previous I-140 and MTR)还没被移下架,我的新的申请又被assign到同一移民官手上?换句话说,您觉得我大概得等上多久再refile我的申请,以减小新case被assign到同一移民官的概率?

My current employer is in the different area from my NIW application. But I have still been active in my NIW research area in the past years: 1) as a non-paid consultant for my previous employer for the on-going research; 2) keep reviewing the papers in the NIW area; 3) as 2nd author for a few papers. Are these enough as evidence to get approval? Is that helpful if I ask my previous employer to provide the letter claiming me as a consultant (no payroll, though)? What other evidences I need to provide to make my case stronger?

pjiang 您好!我想咨询一个关于F1学生身份的问题。
去年底在Phoenix被公司layoff,后来搬家到Houston 找工作。在最后一张pay check 之前递交了H1b转成 F1 身份的材料 (Houston Community College),递交后的receipt date 是11月25日。当时按照community college 所给地址寄到 Vermont Center,在2月初被USCIS转送到California Center,然后pending 至今杳无音讯。因为不知是否能被批准,也为了省钱,所以根本没有在Community College 交费上课。
我现在拿到了今年秋季入学的一个MBA 录取,打算办理那个学校的I-20,请问我这种情况是否可以在美国境内办理F1 转学,还是必须回中国去签证F1?

a, if the appeal gets approved, I will be fine, and can legally stay per the new I-94;
b, if the appeal is denied, I will be Out of Status, starting from the date of denial of the initial I539 or the date of denial of the appeal?
c, if the appeal is still pending when I leave the country, will I be considered illegal overstay?
Could you please clarify the situation for me? Thank you very much!

请问老师我的情况:我是以L1身份来美工作,I-94的日期是8/19/2009。我08年4月被layoff, 交了I-539申请转换成旅游签证,但是填表的时候笔误写成b-1。后来打电话到移民局改成b-2,收到书面确认修改为B-2。11月份的时候收到移民局来信,要求b-1的补充材料,公司证明,statement of departure from the United States,以及财力证明。我发现他们还是没有把我的申请改为B2,就写信去说明。09年1月,收到denial, 原因是:you did not provide any information regarding your departure from the United States or evidence that you have the ability to financially maitain yourself while in the United States.
我现在file了I-290B,并补上了statement of departure和财力证明。
请问我现在是合法居留吗?如果在8/19之前我的申请还是pending,我是否必须离境?这次被拒的纪录会不会对以后签证留下不好的影响?非常感谢!!!
I have a question about AC21. I have both I-140 OR (company sponsor) and I-485 concurrently filing and pending now. I may have to change employer due to company restructure.
I think clearly AC21 should be invoked after I change to a different employer. The question is should I invoke AC21 after I-140 is approved or should I invoke AC21 immediately after I change to a different employer? If AC21 should be invoked immediately after changing employer, will that cause the deny of I-140?

Dear Pjiang,
Thank you for your reply!
But what are COS and OOS?
Do you mean it is best to first adjust her to H4, then file 485 on her behalf?

During the process of I-485, which is with no regard to its PD, the applicant may be required for an interview.
我刚才又在网上查了一下B2延期的问题,看到这样一段话:
if an extension request is denied and the applicant remains in the U.S. beyond the denial date, unlawful presence will begin to accrue. Accrual of more than 180 days of unlawful presence will preclude the foreign national from reentering the U.S. for three years. One year or more of unlawful presence will bar reentry for ten years. The law does afford a 120-day grace period regarding the accrual of unlawful presence where an applicant timely filed an extension request; that is, unlawful presence will not begin to accrue until the extension request is denied, or until it has been pending for 121 days, whichever occurs first. This should not be confused with failure to maintain nonimmigrant status, i.e., staying beyond the authorized period of stay stamped on the I-94, which will result in automatic cancellation of a multiple entry visa.(出处:http://www.philippinenews.com/article.php?id=2579)
也许我还是应该让我父母I94到期后120天内离境。

请教您一个关于I-485申请费的问题:
我现在正在准备给我父母办移民,the filing fee for I-485 is $1010 (according to the instruction). However,I just learned from a friend of mine, that 她只交了一份申请费(她也是给她父母一起办的).She said she remembered very clearly one of the document indicated that if both of the parents file together, only one filing fee is required, that was in 2006. Unfortunately, she couldn't locate the copies of the petition she filed.
Do you happen to know anything about this? Is there a different way of submit the petition that only one filing fee is required? I have been searching the whole day and was unable to find anything mentioning this - I found only you, and I even registered with Wenxuecity - just to be able to ask you this question and hopefully get an answer from you.
Thanks much in advance.

问一个Priority Date transfer 的问题。我有两个approved I-140. EB3, priority date 06/2003; EB2, priority date 02/2006. 2007年7月File I-485 用的是 EB2 的 I-140,当时 EB3的 LC还关在小黑屋里。
问了公司找的律师关于Transfer the EB3 priority date to EB2,他们坚持说必须再 File一个Amendment on the EB2 I-140. 可是I-140的Amendment的Filing, 就跟I-140一样,至少也得8-9个月。跟他们说了半天,他们还是坚持这是唯一的途径。

However, he doesn't have a valid Passport, he needs to apply for a reentry permit or a refugee travel document, but I am so confused by the rules. I will really really appreciate if you could help me to understand the rules. Here is his situation:
1. He is not a Chinese Citizen.
2. His passport expired on June 11, 2005
3. His country will not renew or issue him a new passport because of military compulsory service issue.
I want to file I-131 to obtain a reentry permit or a refugee travel document (I don’t know which one is the right one to get) for him because I heard that if you have a green card but no passport, you can get a travel document by filing a I-131 and use it as a passport. However, I have so many questions about this travel document:
1. Should he apply for a Reentry Permit or a Refugee Travel Document? I don’t know if his situation can be qualified as refugee or asylee because I don’t think he is a refugee or asylee unless the USCIS has different definition for these two words.
2. Can a RP be used as a passport to go to other countries?
3. Can he use the RP to get a Chinese visa to go to China?
4. If he goes to other countries, can he come back to the US using his green card and RP without a passport?

最近打算回国返签H1B,但是突然记得在2006年的F1的身份out of status过。原因是没有注意到I-20过期了,但是还需要一个学期完成学业。在学校IPO的advisor的帮助下,在I-20过期后的5个月之内申请了reinstatement。期间经历种种,申请文件被移民局的人搞丢了,但是是在申请寄出的3个月后才知道,然后又重新寄资料到另一个处理中心。这时候离I-20过期已经超过5个月了。最后是通过了。
目前正在准备NIW的申请。读了I-140 instruction 上的这段话后,不明白是不是现在还需要填ETA-750B,因为现在已经过了March28, 2005 很久了。请PJiang帮解答一下. Thank you!

谢谢Pjiang老师的回答。 你的博客文章我又拜读了一遍,真得很佩服。现在的问题是,还是必须跟律师打交道,律师的理解往往不同,又不能fire他们,因为是学校的律师,学校的人事部门听律师的。我现在的情况时,8月15号,要去上班,学校刚刚把H1-b申请交上去(没给办premium)。之前律师说只要拿到H-1b的receipt就能上班, 但后来发现我用过AP, 现在是AOS, 律师现在给我的说法是:“ If the H-1B petition is still pending you can use your EAD card for employment purposes. Once your EAD card expires in September, you can then use either your H-1B approval notice or your extended EAD. Either way you are covered."
对不起,我知道我接二连三的发贴...大家都烦了吧,可实在是没人商量啊...律师出差,根本联系不上. 一直没睡觉,睡不着.....东想西想...
问题:
1)如果我OUT of status 并且还在美国,律师可以帮我申请H1B吗?
2) 因为OUT OF STATUS, H1B 申请被拒的可能性有多大?
附我前面的发贴,帮大家了解情况. 皮匠真的帮帮忙啊..多谢了..
附贴2
学校不同意我自己填表格.而且那个该签字的人也不在....(估计不想承担责任...555)
等他们FILE的时候,我肯定已经OUT OF STATUS 了.
现在我该怎么办呢?
Pjiang老师,向您请教一下。我的NIW I-140批准,I-485 pending, 学校的H1-b 有效期到2009年,去年拿到EAD卡和AP(都是2008年9月到期),2007年年底和2008年3月用AP回国和去加拿大。EAD卡从来没用过。现在要到另外的学校工作,在transfer H1-b,接到学校律师的信这么说,“ However, I noticed that the last time you traveled, you used your advance parole documents. Once you enter the U.S. with Advance Parole you are technically an adjustment of status applicant and no longer in H-1B status. By filing the H-1B petition on your behalf, this should reinstate your H-1B status but we recommend that you go ahead and extend your EAD as well.”
现在有点迷惑,我用AP回美国后,到底还有没有H1身份,我一直工作到现在算不算违法工作,我现在需不需要延期我的EAD卡(从来没有用过EAD)。 我读了您的文章,很清楚我用了AP之后可以延转H1-b, 可是还是不清楚,我用了AP回国之后,没有任何延转H1-b的行为以前这段时间,我到底是什么身份,是H1-b 还是AOS? 这段时间对我的身份和485申请有没有影响,我现在如果不延期我的EAD卡,是否会有风险。罗罗嗦嗦讲了这么多,希望您能明白我的问题。多谢您了!!

Pjiang 老师, 谢谢. 我又仔细的读了一遍你的文章,的确找到答案了.只是想确认一下
在requested action中,像我们这种要transfer h1b的应该选

...
1. Please submit an evaluation of the beneficiary’s education equating the beneficiary’s education to that of an accredited United States college or university in accordance with the applicable regulations. The evaluation must be by a reliable credentials evaluation service which specializes in evaluating foreign education credentials or by an official who has authority to grant college-level credit
2. Please submit documentary evidence of the exact influence as an individual that the petitioner’s work has had on his specialty or on the field in general.
3. Please submit documentary evidence of the beneficiary’s individual specific contributions made in his field. Are these discoveries and contributions being applied and used? Provide documentation to support your claim
4. If the petitioner’s research results have been cited by others in this field, submit citation indices, showing number of citations and titles of articles in which the petitioner’s works were cited.
5. All research appears to have been conducted as a member of a team and the beneficiary is not the lead. The beneficiary’s role in the research projects needs to be clarified. Please describe specifically all of this petitioner’s exact individual prior achievements and how these have influenced his field.
6. How does the petitioner’s work compare to others in this field? Have experts (other than other members of the beneficiary’s research groups, beneficiary’s University research teams and beneficiary’s collaborators) in this field recognized the petitioner’s work? How do the petitioner’s publications separate him from others in the field? Submit documentary evidence in support of your response.
这个是要独立推荐信吧。
7. Any additional evidence submitted will be considered in conjunction with the current record to determine the petitioner’s eligibility for this classification.
Please submit the requested information within forty-two (42) days from the date of this letter. Failure to do so may result in denial of your petition.

At present time, your husband may only file I-130 for you not I-485, which means you can not apply GC while you're presently in the states unless you don't care to be out of status.
Once I-130 has been filed for you, you are difficult to apply B-2 visa any more.
Another option is that your husband may apply for citizenship in 5 yrs of becoming a PR, then he can get your GC with no waiting.
回复lang2007的评论: You may have your passport stamped I-551 at local USCIS office, and file I-90 for GC.

皮匠老师,你好,我有些问题想问您. 我现在485pending搬家,然后发现很多人因为搬家丢文件,开始担心绿卡将来会丢掉,然后就困惑,如果有485approval notice但绿卡丢失的人,算是处于那种情况,出入境,工作该怎么办,因为原先的身份肯定没有了,又不算485pending, AP 和EAD 肯定不能用了,手头又没有绿卡,听律师说,移民局又不给补寄。难道真的要重新办? 你能不能帮忙分析一下这个问题,这几天真的很担心。谢谢您!

Finger print--
Is it true that it does not matter where I do the finger print? Even in a different state from the main applicant? Thank you.

Teacher Jiang/Pan, please look at my case and help me to make the best decision.
I have NIW I-485 pending name checking for almost 3 years. I have done everything except for WOM. I have used AP twice in the past year and stayed in China for about 3 months each time. When I go back to China again within a month, I will have to stay for 5 months or so. I believe I can't use my AP to come back (right?), so I plan to submit I-824 for consulate process, and apply for H1 visa when I come back. I thought there is not an approval issue of I-824 in this case and I can just submit and leave, but I was wrong after asking questions at the 移民论坛. I have only about 1 month in the US, but it takes 6 months to process I-824.
1. Before I-824 is approved, can I still use AP to come back in case of an emergency, e.g., a RFE on the I-824?
2. If there is no RFE, are there any other risks on my I-485 if I leave US before I-824 is approved?
3. What will happen if my I-485 is approved before I-824 is approved?
I have to leave, but just want to know if there is still a way to keep my pending I-485 valid.
Thank you very much. I appreciate any opinions you may have.
3. Can I still file the extension after the I-485 denied and/or during MTR?
- extending H-1 is relevant to I-485
(only relevant after 6 year limit, right?). Then after 6 year limit, what is the difference between H1B and EAD? To my understanding, if I-485 denied, both will be invalid immediately.
1. I am now parolee status (not H1B even I can work using H1B) since I paroled in the States.
2. If I extend my H-1B now (can I do it a year before the current one expires?), my status will be changed back to H-1B from parolee immediately after I get the receipt notice?
3. Can I still file the extension after the I-485 denied and/or during MTR?
Sorry for so many questions since it is critical for me now.

Thanks a lot.
I went to Infopass about one month ago. The lady just told me the same information as the online and refused to do anything else.
I called the USCIS yesterday and talked to a real person. She told me to wait for another 60 days for the reply.
Anything else I can do?
Thanks.

Thanks Prof. Pjing. I also post this message on wenxuecity http://web.wenxuecity.com/BBSView.php?SubID=immigration&MsgID=356608
I only used AP to parole in States last year and never used EAD. However, I have been under H-1B status for 5 years and my current H-1B will not expire until next July. It seems like I can't do extension right now. Even I did it, to my understanding, it will be dependent on AOS and not fully separate nonimmigrant anymore.
Right now, if I received I-485 denial notice and filed MTR within 30 days, I would be back to parolee status but not H-1B. Is that right? The only reason now they deny my I-485 is that I didn't response the RFE since I never received the notice. I contacted them a few times and kept the records.
Please comment on these ways below for my case:
1. Wait the notice and prepare MTR.
2. Try to transfer to O-1 (how difficult these days?) or F-1, B-2? Can I do transfer before MTR is approved?
3. File another I-485 since my spouse got I-140 two years ago (can I file another immediately after first one denied?) Is there any tricky thing to be aware of?
Appreciate much. I believe my case will be a very good example for your class!

Thanks a lot Prof. Pjiang for your help. Please see also the reply message in the forum http://web.wenxuecity.com/BBSView.php?SubID=immigration&MsgID=356489
I am not sure if you fully understand my situation. As what I learned from http://www.hooyou.com/advanceparole/h1bv-ap.html that I am now in parolee status and it is dependent on my I-485. Once my I-485 denied I have to file 'motion to reopen' to keep my parolee but not H1B status.Please correct me if I am wrong.
What else can you think of as a back-up during the MTR? My spouse has got green card for 2 years as primary.
Appreciate much your help!

If dependent got approved, that means the principle will be approved shortly due to a delay of technical issue. Since your principle is 12 mos behind, I think your case may have been forgotten by VO at his desk. Goto Infopass.

Hi Teacher Pjing, I have urgent questions about MTR, H1 and parolee.
Now H-1B five years and the H1 status will expire until mid 2008 to reach 6 year limit.
Last year reentered US via AP. Now parolee.
Didn't receive RFE of I-485 for 3 months.
Called USCIS one month later after RFE mailed out. Today, received mail from USCIS saying if still havn't received RFE call them again to ask for resend the RFE.
Contacted Senator's office and was told the I-485 case was forwarded to their clerical unit for abandonment denial.
So questions are if you are still not confused and know something about it:
1. Should I and Can I do extension of my H-1B ASAP for a back-up? When can my status change to H-1B from parolee if I can? After the receipt notice of H1 extension or after approval of it?
2. During the period of 'motion to reopen' if I receive the denial notice, can I still work legally as H-1B? I don't have valid EAD.
3. Please have other suggestions if you have.
Thanks a lot.

Teacher Pjiang is Great.

You don't have to notify the change of employers.

Teacher Pjiang, if I quit my job after 485 pending more than 180 days. As of today, my 485 has been pending more than 2 years. Within this period, I have changed several employers & have never notified INS about it. What should I tell the VO if they asked me why I did not notify INS about my employer change. Will I get into trouble for my green card because of this? Would you please advise at your convenience? Tks.
