You asked this question as "Monsoon05" and also as "Jk" - so you are still pretty good at lying and playing games with the system.  Do you think the answer will change?\n\nWhen people write to complain that they can't get a visa to come to the US, or there are long delays in their cases, it is because of people like you who have intentionally lied to get some sort of immigration benefit from the US government.\n\nYou lied that you were not married so it would be easier to get an H1b visa, then you bought a fraudulent marriage certificate to support your claim, then you applied for your wife to come to the US and now she is leaving you and you are afraid of your past deeds - good! You are an example of everything that is wrong with our immigration system - the loop holes and technicalities that are exploited by citizens of other countries, who then enter the US and lie again to get other benefits to which they are not entitled, then cheat on their taxes, so that someone else is paying for everything. In this case, I hope for nothing more, or less, than karma.

Its better to consult US visa issuing authority on the  subject. But apparently it seems that both visas cant be there same time.\n As in VISIT application form there is a check-box asking 'wud you work over there'.\nHow that question be replied in 'NO', where there is H1 on the passport.\nAnd how that can be 'Yes', when you are applying for VISIT Visa.

It should be a separate sheet from your cover letter.  Here are a couple examples.  It's very easy to put together.  Don't lie tho -- potential employers are allowed to verify your past salaries.

Nope - you're required to support him and must prove you have over a certain level of income to do that.  Sounds like you're not marrying for love, just a green card.  Be aware that the government will find out - the interview is very hard and those guys will spring questions on you you'd never expect.

YEAH I WENT TROUGH IT LAST MONDAY. WELL IF YOU HIRED A LAWYER THEY SHOULD TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING FOR YOU. BUT IF NOT YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF TO IT JUST HELPS TO HAVE THE LAWYER THERE. WELL WITH YOUR APPT. DATE ON THAT SHEET THEY SENT YOU THERE IS A LIST OF EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD BRING. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE WITH YOU MOST OF WHAT IS ON THAT LIST.ALL THAT YOU HAVE. MAKE A REAL EFFORT.  ALSO MAKE SURE YOU MAKE COPIES OF EVERYTHING AND ORGANIZE IT IN A BINDER. YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST TWO COPIES OF EVERYTHING. THINGS SUCH AS TAXES , PAY STUBS, JOB LETTERS, BIRTH CERTIFICATE <--- THIS COPY HAS TO BE CERTIFIED BY NOTARY AND TRANSLATED BY NOTARY IF YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE. MAKE SURE IT IS VERY ORGANIZED AND YOU KNOW EAXCTLY WHERE ALL OF YOUR PAPERS ARE BECAUSE DURING THE INTERVIEW THEY WILL BE TALKING TO YOU WHILE SIMUNTANEOUSLY ASKING YOU TO SHOW EVIDENCE OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. IF FOR SOME REASON YOU DO NOT HAVE THE DOCUMENTS THEY REQUESTED JUST EXPLAIN TO THEM YOUR ISSUE AND YOUR ATTMEPT ON GETTING THE PAPERWORK. AND IT REALLY DEPENDS HOW EASY IS YOUR INTERVIEW ON WHO YOUR INTERVIEWER IS. SOME ARE VERY STRICT AND REALLY TRY TO GIVE YOU A HARD TIME BUT SOME JUST WANT TO HELP YOU AND GIVE YOU THAT CARD..WELL IF THEY SINCERELY THINK YOU DESERVE IT. DON'T BE INTIMIDATED THOUGH THEY WILL RECORD WHAT YOU ARE SAYING JUST STAY CALM. I THINK IF U DONT HAVE A LAWYER CALL ONE FOR A FREE CONSULTAION AND LET HIM TELL YOU WHAT PAPERS YOU NEED AND HOW TO PREPARE THEM JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE. oNCE THE INTERVIEW IS OVER ( SOMETIMES NOT ALWAYS) THE INTERVIEWER WILL TELL YOU RIGHT AWAY THAT YOU GOT APPROVED. THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU RIGHT AWAY THAT YOU HAVE BEEN DENIED. YOU WILL GET A LETTER APPROX. 2-3 WKS STATING THE REASON. BUT DONT WORRY LIKE I SAID IF THEY DONT TELL YOU WETHER YOU GOT APPROVED OR NOT IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU WERE DENIED. ALL INTERVIEWERS ARE DIFFERENT. ANOTHER THING THEY CAN DO IF YOU DONT HAVE THE SUFFICIENT INFO. TO COMPLETE THE INTERVIEW IS RESCHEDULE YOU. THEY WILL RESCHEDULE YOU BACK 2 TO 3 MONTHS LATER. BECAREFUL THOUGH BECAUSE YOU ONLY GET 1 RESCHEDULED APPT. IF BY THE 2ND TIME YOU DONT HAVE WHAT THEY REQUESTED YOUR CASE GETS DENIED. I HOPE THIS HELPED GOOD LUCK IM SURE IN A MONTH YOU WILL BE A RESIDENT ILL KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED FOR YOU!!! :)

The grounds for obtaining a waiver are very limited. The most common means is by obtaining a "no objection" statement from the government your home country, although USCIS might require additional grounds. Other bases include: substantial hardship on a US citizen spouse, service in a medically underserved area (for foreign medical graduates only), or securing a waiver through an interested government agency. In any of these cases, it is not easy to do.\n\nYou can apply for a waiver while you are in the U.S., but you must maintain your nonimmigrant visa status (J-1) the entire time preceding your application for an H1B.\n\nGood luck

I was married on April 1st 1967 (UK) as were many, many, other couples.  You see, earnings were low then and if you got married before April 5th, the end of the Tax year, you got a really welcome tax rebate.  Mine came to a month's earnings.  It took a lot of convincing people when the invitations were sent out.......

Yes, I am going through a similar situation. Your question has really scared me.  April 05?!? My husband, from Mexico, just applied in September of this year.  Was your wife in the country illegally or is she currently? That would delay things, right?

There aren't that many choices.  You're obviously not "married filing jointly" or "married filing separately."  \n\nIf you were divorced on Dec 31, you each file as single since that's what you are.  One of you may qualify to file as "head of household."

That visa is null and void. You need to re-apply not as a K1(engaged to a US Citizen), but as a K3(Married to a USC).

You can fillout all the necessary paperwork, check: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-129f.htm\nI once was in a similar position and went to one cheap immigration firm (called Latinos Unidos or something like that) and they only made things worse, if I had followed the INS instructions I could have done it myself without a problem. If you cannot afford a real decent lawyer I would advise you to do it yourself.\ngood luck!

if you received other income(child support, alimony etc) which would have possibly disqualified you then you might have a problem.  i would just call them and schedual an appointment to speak with your case worker. although it may be worrisome, dont let it whack your brian all day. just call in the morning and see what they are talking about.

B1/B2 (visitor visa) change of status to H1B(employment visa) is possible but beware that you must prove to the USCIS that your original intent when you came to the US was not to change status (i.e. you had legitimate reasons to come to the US as a visitor and didn't come there to look for a job)\n\nIf you are eligible to apply for H1B (must have bachelor degree and work experience), you need an H1B sponsor (employer) to file a Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (USCIS Form I-129) with required supporting documents like copy of your educational certificates, passport, experience etc. You can start working for your employer ONLY after your H1B approval. If your application is denied, you will receive a letter that will tell you why the application was denied.

Where you the one who sent in the papers? if so... then you should have gotten a reciept #. Something like EAC - ## - ### - #####. It should be something similar to this. If you did then go to the www.uscis.gov and scroll down. On the right hand side at the very bottom you will see... "enter case #." You can track info through this. If you have any question... please feel free to ask me.

Hello SM.\nThe L-2 status is dependent on the L-1 status of the principal visa holder. Whereas the H-1 is when you are directly employed by a firm. \nIf you switch to L-2 and get approved, you will get an EAD (by my knowledge, which needs a cite) .\nYou should go talk to a legal firm about this. As most of the firms would be happy to give you more information and be able to provide you with the guidance also. \nCalling law firms or emailing  and asking them over the phone will be an excellent idea. I usually email Prime Law Centers for help, since they do not charge for that and their services are great and inexpensive. Google search should land you with law firms, if not check Prime Law Centers. \nGood Luck .
