I read everything you wrote. To cut short, I don't think you will any issues at all.
No need to carry documents to prove your legal marriage. You already did so and thus got your GC.
GC makes you "permanent Resident" in US. Past is past. I am not an attorney but I strongly believe you won't have any issues.
If I were you and find myself in doubt, I would spend $300-$400 to consult 2 different attorneys and get their opinion to remove any hesitation.
Hi,
I received my permanent green card based on marriage to US citizen, valid for 10 years last month. Now, I am planning to travel to India after close to 9 years, but I am extremely concerned about returning point of entry issues and I wanted to see what would the community suggest.

Thanks.

Sorry for the confusion but I am not on H1B i am on my EAD already for over a year now. In that case, I guess I can be employee of my own company. Plus even if I quit as a CFO, the problem is if USCIS wants they can see it on the paper that I quit the role, so whats the point quitting. I may be wrong but just a thought.

What desi3933 said above seems to reverberate a lot whenever this question comes up. But I have not found an official statement/legislation number referenced by anyone yet. The limited time I spent trying to search for it did not yield anything.
Does anyone have the legislation?
What I do not understand is, when one is allowed to have two different H1s and be working for both the petitioning employers while maintaining each of them, why can't someone work a different job (using EAD for I9 form) while he/she still maintains their full time position with the H1 petitioning employer? As far as I know, the restriction on a H1 is that the beneficiary should use it to work for the petitioning employer only; that it can't be used for any other work.
I know a lot of attorneys also seem to say that "if you use EAD, you lose your H1".
And a lot of attorneys say that it is a grey area.
This is from one of the muthy bulletins:
http://murthy.com/mb_pdf/050208_P.html
It is subject to interpretation whether one who holds H-1 or L-1 status and who otherwise is maintaining that status can do so while also using an EAD to work in a part-time or other position. AILA outlined a number of arguments in support of allowing the EAD work while an individual also should be considered to be holding H1B or L-1 status. The USCIS is reviewing and considering this matter.

There is no way he can get elected a senator. Also let him be a leader of NumbersUSA or FAIR - who cares. At least we know there is one less NO vote in the house when it comes to SKILL act.
Is there a something that actually prevents him from becoming a Senator?

I'm in the similar situation my wife hasn't rcvd EAD yet but we rcvd RN.
I suppose the RN you are talking about is refering to "Receipt Notice(s)"
So basically u got ur ead but ur wife hasnt. and both of ur status online show that both are approved?

Department of Homeland Security, that is what all the Lawyers are insisting, don't ask me why.
LOL, why? Because it's written in I-485 form - "The check or money order should be made payable to the Department of Homeland Security", Page 5. I would suggest reading these forms carefully before filling them up.

I have done some research into this category.
500k option seems easy but it has also some string attached.
Few basics of EB5
(1) Fund needs to be legal. If you bring from India then there should be enough trace of funds. Lets say some one gift you money in India then you need to show that you paid gift taxes in India. If you get gift from some one here then you need to pay close to 75k as gift tax in USA.
(2) I searched for few regional center program and almost all program charges 30-50k administrative fees ( Application Fee ) which is non refundable if GC denied.
(3) If you borrow money against your property in USA or India and invest into this program still you may not be able to balance it. Average Loan rate will be 10- 12 % while average return in Eb5 regional program is 6 - 10 %.
(4) You cannot withdraw money for 3-4 years. Some program ask you to make commitment of 5 years. Also no one specify exit strategy.
(5) Some program hold your money into Escrow account meanwhile you get your GC and once they collect enough amount to kick start project they will not give you any damn return. ( Just interest rate which is very very low these days ) so lets say you invest money today and they cannot collect enough money for next 1 year then you need to wait for 1 year to have them invest and another 1-2 year for them to start giving out return. and besides that once return starts there will be a commitment for certain years.
bottom line is if you have spare of 600k-650k money and not expecting more than 0-5 % return on that money you can go for EB5 for shake of GC. if you have 1.1 - 1.2 million then
you can buy business and employ 10 full time USC. That can give you more return.

vikramy, do you know what the RFE is about ? Medical Exams? Are you the main applicant? usually the main applicant gets things first. But you know, this is USCIS expect the unexpected. However you only have 30 days to respond to a RFE so make sure immigration gets it. and think positive, you'll get your green card!

Ok Guys.
There is one letter per day.
Here is the third letter
http://murthy.com/news/n_applof.html
I think we should all draft a letter each and post it on this forum too. What's the big deal in sending a letter. I mean, I have also written so many letters to lawmakers and also sent greeting cards too. So should I scan all of them and post it on this site to show off that I really care for all IV members and I am the one responsible for any 'success' in any immigration effort that will happen n future due to these letters?
Guess who she will send a 4th letter to??? - to IV :D :D (requesting us to leave her in peace)

Hello Every one,
I am in a very complex situation, I will try my best to describe it. I worked for company A which applied for my H1B visa which got approved, in June'10 I moved to another company B as the job prospects are good. My Ex-employer A was not happy with that, he did not agree for VISA transfer. So my current employer B applied for another H1B petition which is under review now.
As I have a valid H1B applied by company A, my school terminated my F1 (OPT)status from this Oct 1st, which would otherwise get expired in March 2011. My Ex- employer(A) said that he filed for withdrawal of my H1B a week ago. I informed this to my current employer(B) and they have requested premium processing. I am worried what my status would be now, because I am no longer in F1 visa and my H1B is with another company for which I am not working anymore. Am I out of status?
Please let me know your suggestions/opinons. Thanks a lot for your time.

Update on experience:
After my mistake in entering the 'A' number, I went ahead and changed address again as per suggestion from USCIS representative and lawyer. Update is as below
--------------------------------
I could change my address using the 'A' number in AR-11 and I did get a new confirmation number for AR-11 address change. However when I entered the petition number for a pending petition, the system said that I have already changed address on the petition and it has been less than 45 days since I changed and also asked if I have moved again.
When I answered 'no' I got the following message:
"At the time you previously notified us of your address change, you were informed that we would send you a confirmation notice. You were also informed that it may take up to 45 days from the date you notified us to receive that confirmation notice.
It has been less than 45 days since you notified us to change your address.
If you do not receive a notice of confirmation that your address has been changed on your application/petition within the 45-day period, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for further assistance."
----------------------------------------------------------
Any thoughts, inputs will help.

My younger brother has a visa interview next week at Delhi consulate.
Some facts
-I am on h1b (came as a student in 2002)
-My Parents are currently in US. This is 3rd trip to US.
-My Sister and Brother in law are GC holder alongwith 1 GC holder kid and 1 USC kid.
-We are expecting :)
I am not sure how these facts will be seen @ visa interview by the officer as he can easily think that my younger brother is a potential immigrant.
There is one big supporting fact and that is my brother has an admit to IIM which he has to join in Jun last week. He just wants to come here for 1 month.
Anyone out here has any suggestion which might help for stamping? DS 156 I have clearly disclosed about my Sister having a GC and parents being here can be asked in interview.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.:confused:
There's no need to try and shove any information unless asked, and in the process appear too eager to prove intent to return. Just ask your brother to keep all his documentation in order, and that includes admission letter & fee payment receipts etc to show if asked. He can definitely mention purpose of visit as a short, relaxing vacation before coming back to slog on his MBA like crazyghoda mentioned. Just ask him to stay relaxed and truthfully respond to questions with mostly to-the-point answers.
From my brother's experience, your papers are more important. He should have your employment letter, H1 I-797, and your I-134 affidavit of support form with supporting documentation, and optionally a letter from you inviting him & stating purpose of visit. They already know from your I134 if you have sponsored your parents. In our case, they quickly checked upon me and granted him a visa.
Having said that, standard disclaimer of "Your mileage may vary" applies. ;) My best wishes for your brothers interview. :cool:
