Hello,
I am currently on H4 visa and I am planning to pursue an MBA program. If i choose to study in H4, i know i qualify for the California resident fee discount. If i change my visa to F1 for studies, would i not be eligible for the california resident discount? or would i lose the residency status?
Thanks.
Hi, My wife was in similar situation and I can provide following advice:
If the school is public, then you need to stand benefit of resident tuition fees. However, keep an eye on the bigger picture, that is your career after the school. These days its difficuilt to get H1, although good MBAs should not have this problem. Some CA schools allow OPT and consider time on your H4 for OPT if you were a FULL TIME STUDENT on H4. But you can change status to F1 just before filing OPT (6 months or so) I.e. Be in H4 Status for 3 semesters and be full time student and change to F1 in 4th semester and right away file for OPT or CPT. You will need to work out the technical details of this. Hence you can take advantage of the best of the both worlds.
If it is a private school, resident or non resident fees dont matter. H4 is of no benefit in this case, file for F1 right away.

Can u just work part time in EAD without H1B.
Can u please guide me as i plan to do MBA part time.
I heard your salary leave should be very similar and job close to the one on H1b.
If its different ( salary or profile) , USICS can reject the EAD application.
Can u please guide me

"TUCKER: But he does make a point. You can -- you've got to create jobs for these people so that when they come out -- the Vacaduar (ph), for example, says 40 percent of the engineers at Duke end up not going into engineering because the salaries aren't there when they graduate. They go into investment banking. "
As far as I know Boeing, NASA, Raytheon etc. who recruit candidates from West Coast and some East Coast schools, pay great salaries to fresh graduates who are US citizens. If engineers expect to be making anything close to the bloated salaries in Finance, they are in the wrong major.
Doesn't it still mean that there's a shortage of people willing to work in Engineering and they have to import that talent?
It's like the time in school, when the only people willing to work in on-campus restaurant jobs like Subway, Wendys etc. were desis or Chinese: because the salary per hr was minimum wage and lot of American kids felt its beneath them to work there. It did create a shortage of people in that line.
I frankly don't understand the line of reasoning followed by Lou Dobbs & Co.

HI Folks
The reason for this post is as usual- too much confusion and no clear answers. i read on oh law firm that if you are not in a non-immigrant status i.e are working on EAD, there should be no gap in your EAD while you are working. Meanin you should stop working if your current EAD expires and your new EAD is pending- otherwise its a violation of law and provisions of 245 do not protect you because technically you are NOT a non-immigrant.
Is that true?????
Now, i recently had to go to India for an emergency, and had to come back on AP- did not have time to get my H1b visa stamped. I asked at the immigration counter if my H1b is invalidated and he told me it is. I spoke to my lawyer and she told me if you resume your H1b employment with the same employer- you are back in status- i kinda did not buy that though.
Can someone please shed light. My concern is that my EAD is expired- new one is pinding. Although i was on h1b when i left for India, but came back using AP. Am i breaking a law by working??
thanks
If you resume the job you were doing before you left, you do not need EAD. If you switch employment, then you have to use EAD.

Just curious.
Who played what role in the reversal of USCIS/DOS decision?
Did IV core / AILA / Congresswoman Lofgren worked together in the back ground? Flower campaign / SJ rally / media - newspaper articles ?
May be all of the above had its unique impact on USCIS's decision to accept I-485?

I am a nurse from the Philippines currently living in northern California, enrolled in university, working towards my masters degree. I currently have a F1 student visa, have already passed the NCLEX and also hold a Philippines RN license. I don't have any work experience as a nurse besides my clinical experience as a student. I wanted to know what my current options are? I have a company willing to sponsor me on the east coast. I was referred to them by my sister-in-law who is currently working for them. I spoke to the companies recruiter but she couldn't answer some of my more detailed immigration questions.
I just wanted to get some options from some helpful members here. I currently have an appointment with an immigration lawyer next week but wanted to be somewhat inform on my options before meeting with the lawyer.
I know their is a long wait currently for nurses coming from the Philippines. Does it make my situation a little easier considering I am already in the US on a F1 visa? I was told that if they were to lift retrogression for nurses that I would be process asap because I am currently living in the US legally... I seriously have my doubts about this lol.
Any insight on my current situation is much appreciate.
Thank you all very much,
Sheryn:)
A lot of nursing jobs dont need a 4 yr bachelor's degree and thats why you cant use
H1B for that unless the specialised nursing jobs needs a bachelors.
Therefore (thankfully) Nurses are directly applied for Green Card EB3. However there
is significant backlog even for ROW EB3. There is lobby effort to allocate green card quota for nurses like they did in 2004.
The employer (with the lawyer help) will file I140 for you and when the PD is current you can file I485.
But since you are on F1 visa, filing I140 you might have problem with the non immigrant intent clause at the
port of entry.
