Hi,
I will be done with my second master's this July 29. I have two months grace period to leave the country as I already used my OPT after my first master's. I have a job offer and they are willing to do my H1B which starts from October 2011. But my two months grace period will end this september 29. If my H1B is filed in September under Premium processing, will I be in status or out of status for those two days. Did any one face similar problem before. If so, can you please give me the solution?
Thanks,
KEDoubt
You can extend your F1 status under "cap-gap" relief
USCIS - Extension of Post-Completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) and F-1 Status for Eligible Students under the H-1B Cap-Gap Regulations</br> Questions and Answers (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=1d175ffaae4b7210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=6abe6d26d17df110VgnVCM1000004718190a RCRD)
Here is an extract but please read the entire document carefully from the above link
Q4. How does a student covered under the cap-gap extension obtain proof of continuing status?
A4. The student should go to their Designated School Official (DSO) with evidence of a timely filed H-1B petition (indicating a request for change of status rather than for consular processing), such as a copy of the petition and a FedEx, UPS, or USPS Express/certified mail receipt. The student�s DSO will issue a preliminary cap-gap I-20 showing an extension until June 1.
If the H-1B petition is selected for adjudication, the student should return to his or her DSO with a copy of the petitioning employer�s Form I-797, Notice of Action, with a valid receipt number, indicating that the petition was filed and accepted. The student�s DSO will issue a new cap-gap I-20 indicating the continued extension of F-1 status.

It is not a problem with EAD. I am on H1B. I have already received 2 temp. driving certificates. I am expecting one more temp. certificate before getting the original plastic card. The DMV officials told me that there are lot of immigrant people from India, China and Mexico. So the under-staffed dept requries more time to validate.

My mother-in-law is on a visitor visa. She is supposed to go to india in 10 days. But she had a medical emergency and had a surgery this week. She cannot travel to india right now, as she needs rest after surgery. Can we apply visitor visa extension on medical grounds or is it safe to apply for extension on tourism/visiting grounds, Please advise.
Yes you can. Please explain to USCIS about the surgery and they will give the extension.

Your I-94 should be valid as long as your H1B is valid. If you applied for H1B extension they will give you new I94. It should be at the bottom of your 797, please check your H1B approval notice.

Are they also getting new I-94 every time...:confused:
I forgot that. they Do not need new I-94 every time. But I remember We were asked to put all Entry to Canada on I485 papers . I use to go Toranto Every week at that time.

Hi Friends
After clicking on donate link.. I found that,, minimum contribution through paypal/credit/debit card is 100$..
Can I donate 50$ as one time contribution by writing check on IV name and post it through USPS?
Please do not scold me for deciding to donate this much small amount.. My budget supports this much only at this moment.

Hi Guys
I am about to file the 485/EAD/AP based on EB2 PD May 2003.
My lawyer says that after July 30th 2007, if we are filing EAD & AP along with 485, then we do NOT need to include the fees of EAD and AP. The total fee in such a case is 1010$.(485 + Biometric = 930+80 = 1010$)
Is this correct that if EAD/AP are applied with 485 after July 30th 2007, then there is no special fee for EAD/AP
Thanks
