Ask Visalaw.com If you have a question on immigration matters, write Ask-visalaw@visalaw.com.
We can't answer every question, but if you ask a short question that can be
answered concisely, we'll consider it for publication. Remember, these questions
are only intended to provide general information. You should consult with your
own attorney before acting on information you see here. Q - Both my parents are US citizen. My father is 80 years
and mother is 70 A - Absolutely and it is something I encourage. Each parent
should file an ***** Q - Could you please tell me if a
priority date for a labor certification approved in the 1970s which resulted in
the issuance of a green card can be currently used to grandfather an alien, who
lost his permanent residence status and is currently illegally in the U.S., for
245 (i) purposes? A - Once the labor
certification is actually used to get the green card, the priority date is lost.
Also, I believe CIS has specifically stated that in these situations, the
beneficiary would not be grandfathered. *****
A - There is no actual time limit, but extended absences
from the US can Q - I am presently working in an H-1-B status and my 6
years will be up in early 2006. My husband is presently an H-4, but has a
chance to obtain J-1 status to complete his Doctorate Degree. My question
is; If I change from an H-1 to a J-2 after my H-1 expires, will a
year as a J-2 count as if I was outside the country? Could I then apply
for an H-1-B after spending a year as a J-2? A - No. You must be physically outside the US to get credit
toward getting an additional six years of H-1B time.
