A frequent question that arises is whether a foreign national living in the United States for a certain number of years can obtain permanent residency based on the years of living in the United States. There is no law or regulation currently in place allowing foreign nationals to automatically obtain permanent residency based on the number of years residing in the United States. There are however, many ways foreign nationals can immigrate and obtain permanent resident status. Two ways to obtain permanent resident status are based on employment and family sponsorship.
One of the ways foreign nationals can obtain permanent residency is based on employment. The U.S. employer will sponsor the employee to qualify under a certain visa category. Specifically, the foreign national may qualify under one or more of the employment-based “EB” visa preference categories that are divided into four separate categories.
The four EB visa preference categories are:
EB-1: Extraordinary Ability, Professors, Researches, or Executives, filed on form I-140
EB-2: Exceptional Ability in the Sciences, Arts or Business, filed on form I-140
EB-3: Skilled Worker, Professional, Or Unskilled Worker, filed on form I-140
EB-4: Immigrant Religious Worker, filed on form I-360
Another process to obtain lawful permanent residence in the U.S. is through family sponsorship. That is, either a U.S. citizen or permanent resident family member or as a fiancé to a U.S. citizen and subsequent marriage. The process begins by either the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative filing form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative or form I-129F Petition for Alien Fiance with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). Just as in employment-based sponsorship, there are visa preference categories in family-based sponsorship. Family-based “FB” preference categories are divided into four categories.
FB-1: Unmarried sons and daughters of U.S. Citizens
FB-2A: Spouses and children of lawful permanent residents of the U.S.
FB-2B: unmarried sons and daughters of permanent residents of the U.S.
FB-3: Married sons and daughters of U.S. Citizens.
FB-4: Brothers and sisters of U.S. Citizens who are at least 21 years old.
The above preference categories are subject to a numerical limitation. More information on these visa categories is available at the U.S. Department of State’s visa bulletin at: www.travel.state.gov (http://www.travel.state.gov)

I thought I would post on how I resolved my expired I-94 issue today. Could be of help to someone.
I have an I797 and corresponding H1-B visa valid until March 31st 2011.
When I last came into the US on Dec 31st 2009, the immigration officer stamped the I-94 valid until date as March 30th 2010. Essentially giving me only three months of stay.
I did not notice the problem (coming in after a long flight and being jet lagged didn't help) until yesterday when my attorney was going through my documents for some other purpose. As of yesterday I had been out of status for over 3months.
We called the CBP office at Pittsburgh Airport (where i reside) and explained the situation to them. They asked my visa validity date and passport validity date on the phone. After which I was asked to go the the CBP office and get it corrected.
Today morning I headed over there and was met with the most friendly immigration officers I have ever met. Pittsburgh rocks in that. When he heard my case, he asked me if I had presented my latest I-797 to the officer at the time of stamping. When I replied yes, he said it did not make sense why the officer stamped the date he did. He asked to see my passport and I-797 and in 10 minutes told me he would be issuing me a new I-94 with the correct stamped date as March 31st 2011.
Afterwards he mentioned that it was expired and I was lucky because some other officer could have asked me to do a reinstatement (something that apparently costs a lot of money and a lot more trouble according to him)
In my case it was a genuine mistake on the immigration officer's part, since all my documents at the time of the samping indicated a later date. IMO that was the critical factor.
However, as he advised, please be extra sure before you step away from the counter at port of entry, that all your stamps are correct.
Good luck for anyone facing this problem, if you have the valid documents the officers are most probably going to correct the mistake and not give you a hard time about it.:)

I don't remember the amount of fees submitted while filing I 485. However the filing was done after the July fiasco (Aug 2007). so whatever rates were applicable after Jul 2007 that must have been the fees that has been sent.
So in that scenario, is it just okay to send the AP application with out Fees?
How are you July Filers applying for AP? Are you sending in the check for the AP fees too?

If I have an approved labor and switch attorneys, is it mandatory for current attorney to hand over the approved labor and all relevant documents to the new attorney or can he choose NOT to give it ?
Just wanted to run it by you guys and seek your views on it. I do know that the LC is employer's property .
Thanks.

Generally attorneys charge a retainer fee. What that means is they are willing to represent you regarding any issues with a case. Some services are covered with retainer fee and they may charge additional fee based on any extra work. For Example AC21 Retainer fee is around 750/- where they submit a G28. Then for any RFE they generally charge in the range of 250$.
Thanks for the reply. I understand the retainer fee but I guess what bothers me is why the attorney wasn't up front about the situation or simply charge for a consult then going ahead with a retainer when we simply thought there was something more involve to do with my case at the time.
Its the way that the situation was manipulated to get us to retain this attorney for further use when at the time it wasn't needed that feels fraudulent.
Thanks again!

Write LSAT and go to Law School and become a lawyer and to start practicing you should get admitted to the bar. The bar requirements vary.
In some states like california , you can work under a attorney for 10 (if not ten say 'n') years and get addmitted to the bar.

I e-filed EAD renewal. On the I-797 Notice of Action that they mailed me, the "Priority Date" field is blank. The same is true for my last EAD notice of action as well which I did not check last time. Is it normally blank?
Is anybody else in the same boat?
I checked my receipt notice. PD is blank. I checked with a friend of mine and his receipt notice PD is blank too.
BTW mine is paper based filing.

My main worry is that since I dont have a copy of the I-140 approval from old employer, Is there a way the new employer can ask USCIS to look up that case(I have a copy of the receipt)?

Milind,
We did the same for both me and my spouse. I think we applied on Sept 5. I got mine within a week. Its been more than a month and we have not received my wife's SSN. We did call SSA on Sep 22 and they said everything was fine and we should receive it soon, If we do not receive by the end of the month go again to the local office. Have not received it yet, So plan to go to the SSN local office again tomorrow. My guess is it could have got lost in the transit.
Hope this helps.

I and my wife are on EAD here and my wife had to go to India urgently on an Advance Parole that was expired last month. Can I apply for the AP renewal for her while she is in India, so that she can come back without any problems? Please let me know what options do I have. I am hoping that she would not be out of status or staying illegally here. Any answers would be very much appreciated. Thanks all.
Please tell me what options I have with me now.
There is an opiton you can apply for a "re-entry" permit for a person outside US. But it is a very difficult route, go thru an attorney, who can help you in the right way.

during the period from July 2009 to November 2009, your extension was pending and not rejected/denied by USCIS and also your sponsoring employer did not revoke the application. so, logically it should be authorized employment. you can work with the receipt itself, if nothing is decided about the application.
but, better talk to ur lawyer. since there is gray area for ignorant IO @ POE to misinterpret, better have your lawyer available on call during the time of your entry to explain to IO.

Hello, Thanks for your reply
Currently, i am in H1b and my Spouce is in H4. She is attending school in H4 visa (She got stampted and has valid i-94 till June 2011). My employer said my job will be termineted after 1 month. Can my spouce change H4 to F1 and start to attend the school or she has to wait until she get F1 COS approved? In the mean time, can i change my H1 to her f2(dependent) once she file F1 but not approved.
And are there any other options if i did not get a job to transfer my H1B?
Thanks
