To whom they tried to deliver....basically its PO box..no signature required for PO boxes.
In real practice, they leave a note in PO Box. After reading note, that something is for you, you need to stand in Q, sign it and receive it.
I think, USCIS is also undergoing same thing. Post Office must be putting notes in boxes. Due to high volume, signing part must be getting delayed.
Accordingly Post Office must be putting on-line status as attemped to deliver.
I never ask for Signature Confirmation on PO Box. Delivery Confirmation is enough.

If she worked in India in past 3 years for at least 1 year for the same organization. She can get a L1 Visa and then get the GC processed on EB1 category. She will get her GC in 7-8 months.
:confused:
Gurus,
Please advise.
Can a spouse of Green card holder get an H1b visa.
Spouse is currently studying MBA final sem.
She has 3 year industry work experience.
An US based corporation might be willing to sponser her h1b visa because she has worked for their indian counterparty.
The question :
Her husband is a green card holder and she must disclose it either on the H1B petition or at the time of visa interview.
What are chances of her obtaining h1b visa ?
I heard H1B is a dual intent visa.
Thanks in advance for your time and efforts on this issue.

Thanks Nixtor, I am in CA, but would have been more than eager to join you otherwise. Could you record (handycam) a few shots.
AJ,
Thanks for the offer. I am not sure if I have permission to shoot any thing on a federal govt agency premises, but will do my best. My sources tell me that some main stream media will cover it. For us to be able to make a good impact, we need to have people there.

For folks who are past the 180 day period:-
what does one have verify with HR of the new company specifically with regard to AC 21 portability? :confused:
Most recruiters / HR folks know nothing about AC21 etc. (Most when they hear green card, say per company policy, they will start haver 1 yr!).
Should one ever bother about confusing the new employer about AC21? (Assume that Job titiles and descriptions are practically the same. Nothing drastically different. And taking the new job on H1b transfer. i.e. not on EAD).
(PS: I am not taking from the context of desi consulting firms where it might be easier to get any letter with exact same job description etc.).

Guys as gk_2000 said it does not apply to us
Log In (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/usc...0048f3d6a1RCRD)
Well in those cases the term "Long Term" does not apply because as per my understanding, the longest duration one can be on "Conditional Residency" is 2 years.
I think this is smart ploy by Lord Session. It hits multiple birds with one stone.
1. He can attract moderate republicans, centrist and independents by showing he cares for immigration. Election season is approaching!
2. Create in-fight between legal and illegal supporters.
3. Weaken CIR... Pleasing his base

interesting. but it still does not answer one question: What happens if you continue working on H1B for primary employer per guidelines of I-129 petition (ie. 40 hours a week) and then use EAD to work part-time for someone else.
Does that 'kill' the H1 petition? MOst lawyers say it does, a couple of them say it does not, since you are fullfilling all your I-129 requirements with your primary employer
This is a gray area, but, my take is, it will void your H1B. See, the logic is this.... EAD is not a status. It's just an employment authorization, just like AP is a travel parole document. You have option of two status:
1. Non-immigrant status (H1B/H4 etc).
2. Pending AOS status.
You can't be in US on both the statuses. So, without being in status 2, you can't invoke EAD, but when you invoke EAD, you are in status 2, so, lose your H1B.
I might be wrong though.

AFAIK, for summer the courses can be part time. This was the case back in 2001 when i went for my masters.
Please check this with the school and your wife can take one evening class and be enrolled for atleast 3-4 months and move on to the F-1 Visa. Community college will be a good place to start, as she will not be spending a lot of money also.
I hope this helps. All the best.
GO I/WE GO. TOGETHER WE CAN.

its good you have your backup plan. My case was very similar to yours. I had applied for my AP simultaneously with my wife. While my wife got hers in 2 months, mine was gathering dust. I had to write to the ombudsman to get some action on my case after 4 months had passed. Finally I saw a few LUDs and it turned out to be an RFE!!!! They said I didn't include photos, which clearly wasn't true. They had probably lost my photos. So I resent my photos and included the overnight envelopes. They approved my AP, but still chose to send it by USPS. Pretty aggravating.

I agree. I like the second one better. The color seems to "pop" more.
