Dear Sir/Madam,
I had a chance to visit your
outstanding web site where I came across very helpful “Do It Yourself
Package”.
My question is that presently I
am employed with a university as Associate Professor, having landed here from
Australia with an E-3 visa while my wife and daughter are on E-3D visa. Before I
order the packages I would like to know which one best suits my case under EB-1.
I have been given to understand that it would be Outstanding Researcher or
Professor Petition.
I would appreciate if these are
clarified.
Thank you.

Dear Sir.
I am very glad to find
your
website on green card application and I am sure it is very helpful for
people
like us. I am writing this email to get your best suggestion for our
situation. I am a PhD candidate on F1 visa status. I have been offered
a postdoctoral
position at a government lab and I was told that my status would change
to J1 after accepting the
position (after OPT I guess). I had some queries about the status and
waivers.
Is there going to be Home-residency requirement for me. I didn't take
any funding from my home government or
the government of US at anytime. Also, Pakistan is not in the revised
"Exchange Visitor Skills List".
My question is am I still subject to Home residency requirement? Will I
still have to take a J1 waiver, if I want to switch to H1 after
my postdoc position ?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

William,
I have ordered your I-485 package and have prepared all my paperwork, the
package helped me the process a lot!. I have one more question before I'm ready to send it all in. I hope you can help.
I got married to my wife in January (last month). She is German and has
been in the U.S. on a visa for almost 5 years. Her I-140 has been
approved as well, but the category she is in is not current and it has
been taking forever. So even though the marriage was a little sooner
than we had planned on, it made sense to do it so she could apply with
me for the Green Card rather than waiting on her category to be
current. Now, we both live in Atlanta, but since we are both still in
our own leases, officially we have separate addresses. Do you think
that will be a problem or a reason to ask us to come in for an
interview? I'm trying to avoid that since an interview will slow down
the process.
I look forward to hear back from you! Thanks again for all the great help!

Dear Sir,
I have a question related to L1A visa and Green card. I had been in US for 5
years in H1B visa. I joined my present employer and had been working there past 2+ years.
I would like to purchase a Complete Do-It-Yourself package for EB1-EA.
I am Senior Manager
in the organization. At the juncture of 6 years completion of H1B visa,
my employer transferred me to Toronto, Canada office to lead the
Information Technology practice. But I often require to travel to my
head office which is based out of Mountain View, CA. And hence my
employer is planning to file L1A visa for me so that I can travel
between US and Canada. And also my employer is planning to file Green
Card under EB1 category since I will be transferred in L1A. My question
is:
1) When can my employer file Green Card under EB1 category? 2) Is there
any qualification requirement to file Green Card under EB1 category? I
have 2 years Bachelors
and 1 year Diploma, and 15 years of work exp including 5 years in
Managerial / Senior Managerial capacity.
I will be grateful if you kindly respond to my question.
Regards.

Dear William,
I would like to thank you for keeping your web site alive and for posting most
typical questions.
I also have a question with regard to the I-140 / I-485 forms. Suppose
I file I-485 before I-140 is approved but after I have received the
receipt. I cannot figure out if USCIS will issue me the EAD, or it will
wait until the I140 is approved. If it does issue the EAD, it is for 1
year. What will happen if the I-140 is denied before the 1 year?
Thank you very much.

Dear Green Card Apply
Service,
It's happy to see your business and service running great. I ordered a Complete Do-It-Yourself Package for Extraordinary
Ability and now I got the I-140 approval after 6 months waiting. Your package helped me
very much for my I-140 self petition, THANKS.
This time, I would like to ask you some advise related to the I-485
application: Do they request any Affidavit of Support for myself and/or my dependents
to file I-485 in the Extraordinary Ability situation?
I am looking for your advise in your earliest convenience.
Best wishes.

Dear William,
Your web site has been a constant help in living through the difficulties of
immigration green card applications.
My question is: I have a J-1 waiver application pending (already submitted). If I apply
for a EB-1 now (I will work 3 years at a medically underserved area), do I
have to inform the State J-1 department that I am applying for the EB-1?
Thank you,
17. Email from Zhou on 10/9/2012
Thank
you for your reply. I am finding your website very useful. I have
previously met with an immigration lawyer and was discouraged both by
her lack of organization in the approach to my specific situation, and
her failure to fully examine my credentials to recommend the best
strategy for my situation.
I am trying to decide whether it would be helpful to order two of the
EA, OR and NIW packages (I do not anticipate any difficulty attaining
my prospective employer's sponsorship). In addition, I have a few more
questions:
1) Will my spouse and 2 children automatically be considered for a green card with my EB applications?
2) In addition to letters
from the experts in my field, would it be helpful to have letters of
recommendation from a) the Dean of our medical institution, or b) government
officials (congress/senate)?
Thanks again,

William.
Thank you very much for your last email and valuable information on your
web site.
They are very helpful.
May I have other questions: from your recent answers on the web, it seems that if applications are under
EB1-EA or NIW, applicants can
change job in the same category (category means same research field?) at any
time; while if application is under EB1-OR, applicants can only change job
after I-485 is filed 180 days or more, right?
Thank you very much for your kind help
again.

Thank you for your quick and nice reply!
I have learned a lot from you. Thanks a lot!
My
other question is: If I lose I-485, EAD is invalid, can I still apply
for H1? Is now Okay to apply for 140 and I485 at the same time? My
friend is using his OPT to work and he is not sure if he can get H1 in
remaining time, somebody suggested to apply I140 and I485 at the same
time so that he can use EAD to work. What's your opinion on this
issue? do you have package for it?
Thanks.

Hello,
You have a great Web Site here
helping people with their question. I have an unique situation and need your
help and advice.
I was working in a State University, which applied my green card under NIW, EB2,
and my I-140 under NIW got approved in May last year. As I am from India I have
to wait for actual green card for really long time. In the mean time for
personal reasons I had to come back to India taking leave. In this situation my
questions are:
1. My NIW 1-140 will be still valid for future use right if I change my green
card processing from AOS to consular processing? My understanding was NIW is not
employer specific and when my visa quota is available I can get green card and
go back to US for work right?
2. My second question is, as I am a researcher I need to collaborate with
faculties in the US and I am getting several offer for collaboration. Now the
question is when I visit them in the US at various US universities, what type of
VISA I need to apply for for my entrance to US? I had H1B for three years, but
now of course I don't have a H1B. So shall I go in J1 visa? If I apply for J1
visa in the mean time when I wait for my green card, will it hamper my green
card application in any way?
Thanks so much for your assistance.

Dear William,
I got the package. It is really great. I have two questions regarding the NIW
petition. I have some questions regarding green card application.
Here is my situation.
I just got my Ph.D. in electrical engineering and am currently looking
for a job. My area is in wireless sensor networks, worked on a NSF
funded project. I have 4 conference paper and 1 journal paper (all
first author), no citation. I reviewed 2 papers delegated from my
advisor, and has been invited twice to review and submit articles (has
emails), but didn't respond. Member of IEEE. I am wondering if I
qualify EB1 or
NIW.
My spouse filed I-140 through EB3 a few years ago. I'm wondering if my NIW gets approved, can I use his priority date.
If I apply NIW, how to define "same field", I plan to look for jobs in industry,
academia and part time teaching. For teaching job, it is less likely I will do much research.
My spouse (has a
master degree) filed EB3 and got I-140 proved through labor
certificate, however, he switched employer. Now can he apply for NIW?
Thank you very much for your responses!
Sincerely.

Dear Customer Service,
The information provided on

I did my MD in India, it is a bachelors degree. Then I did orthopedic
surgical training in UK and gained membership of royal college of
surgeons. I am about to finish my MBA by distance learning from Indian
university. I have done advanced diploma in management studies too.
Currently I am doing research in the Top ranked orthopedic research lab
(no 1 NIH funded) of USA on H1B. I have 1 original publication, 1 is
being peer reviewed and also expecting few more publications from my
pioneer work in fracture healing in next 6 months or so.
I have presented in several national and international conferences. I
am a certified trauma course instructor ATLS and also a reviewer of an

Hi,
I had submitted I-140 by myself with your Complete Do-It-Yourself Package.
The USCIS received my application and issued an RFE. I saw it online, but the RFE letter is on the way and I
should be receiving by the end of this week. I have no idea what to do about this.
Does this mean that
the case is weak? If so, can I withdraw
the petition? Or, is it likely that most of the applicants get RFE. If
so, I would like to submit the response to RFE letter. What type of
responses
are required? Can you help in this regard? Because they may give me
limited time, shall I hire a lawyer? Please advise. FYI, I have a PhD
in
Applied Physics, and am working in Intel.

Dear Sir,
I need the help of your EB1-OR
package. I am planning to apply for EB1-OR and would like to know your comments
on the following questions. I have also given a brief background about myself at
the end of this email.
The company I work for was started
in 1925. The company was sold to the new owners. The company name was changed
to a new name. There are a total of 72 patents that belong to the old firm. The
new management bought all the patents from the old company. There are no new
patents issued to this new company. There are also no academic publications.
2. We have a small engineering team (20 members) that includes about 7
engineers. 2 engineers have PhD (including me) and rest have bachelors degrees
in engineering. A few of them have patents to their credit but under a previous
job. All these people were hired by the new management during expansion of the
company.
Given the above scenario, do I
satisfy the requirement for EB1-OR that states that the employer should have
proven track record of academic accomplishments?
'Thanks for your review.

my
immigration application was filed under EB3 back in 2009( with priority

also include performing "virtual surgery" which will help the

to ask in helping me to choose the proper application path.
I am an Assistant Research Professor at a University and I started this
position in May
2009 on H1B status. Prior to that I was working as a postdoctoral
appointee for four years on J-1 at Argonne National Laboratory and then
at my current place. My wife has a PhD degree in organic chemistry and
for four initial years on J2 she was eligible to work as a postdoc and
then Laboratory Manager at another University.
When I received a job offer from my Department we did not think we will
stay longer than a couple of years in
U.S. Therefore we did not apply for the Green Card right away even
though my wife lost her work authorization getting H4 status. Life
however changed our course and now we are thinking of green card
application. My position is not tenure track position since I am
working in government funded research laboratory that is affiliated
with the University.
I was thinking to apply for a green card claiming Extraordinary Ability
or Outstanding Researcher or NIW qualification. I do not really know
which path is the best for me. I know that I want to do it myself
having bad experience with immigration office at my current place. Any
advice would be deeply appreciated.

compliance and troubleshoot units that trip on various reasons. I can
get that in the recommendation letters.
I have a masters in Mechanical engineering and my work (Thesis) is a basis of at
least 4 other publications. My professor can give me a recommendation letter explaining the above. Unfortunately, I don't have
any other publications on my name as I left the school early for my job.
I am interested in buying your Complete Do-It-Yourself Package for EB1
Extraordinary Ability Petition and Complete Do-It-Yourself Package for RFE of Extraordinary Ability.
Please let me know what you need to assess my application and how you can help me with my application
process. I am attaching a latest resume.
Best regards.

Dear Sir,
First of all, thank you very much
for your excellent web site and best wishes all of you.
I just finished my
Doctorate program and I just received my OPT card.
My husband is a Green card holder. I would like to ask you a few short
questions and I would be really grateful if you could please give me an
answer:
1) If I am
not able to find a job for several months and my husband sponsors me,
can I still be hired by a company later on? In other words, can I
change my status down the road from being sponsored by my husband to
being sponsored by a company if I get a job offer after my OPT expires?
2) Do I have to have an OPT card which is still valid in order for a
company to apply for my H1B visa or they can hire me directly with an
H1B visa? I think it is not possible to be sponsored by my husband and
still be able to work, correct? It has got to be a company which
sponsors me, right?
3) Finally, if my husband has to sponsor me, how long before my OPT expires should we apply for it?
Thank you for your time.

Hi William,
I want to buy the EB1C -
Executive/Manager DIY package from your great site. I am working for
European multinational company in China as a business controller. The
company is considering to assign me to the US branch as Senior
Controller.
I am in the process of negotiating the contract with the US branch. I
would like to the company to sponsor me for the green card through
EB1Multinational Executive or Manager. I have 3 questions:
1) My
friend told me that getting EB1 directly from China will take quite
some time (about 1 year). It is better for me to get L1 visa first.
Then after landing in the US, I can start EB1 application immediately.
Is his suggestion correct?
2) If my friend
is correct, as L1 visa is a non-immigrant visa, I suppose that the
contract that the US branch will offer me should be a temporary job
offer (e.g. 3 year contract), otherwise US embassy may reject my L1
visa application, because they would suspect I want to immigrant which
is not the purpose of L1. However, after landing when I start the EB1
application, USCIS would require a permanent job offer. So what kind of
contract should the US branch offer to me, a 3 year contract or
permanent employee contract?
3) I read from
your website that "The USCIS frequently focuses on the number and level
of subordinate employees when evaluating if a position is managerial.
If there are few or no subordinates, then petitions are routinely
denied, even if the prospective immigrant is the highest level employee
and responsible for an essential function. Further, the subordinates
must themselves be managers, supervisors, or professionals."
However, I have no
subordinates in both my current job as business controller in China and
future job in the US branch as Sr. business controller. What should I
do to prove that I am in a managerial position?
Many thanks for your help!
