-Do you mean you got H1 before even if you did not get J1 waiver?
近日我收到 2nd RFE (due 3/12/09, 要求提供J-1waiver, N年前有过8个月J-1), 虽已开始waiver申请,但估计不可能按期提交。
问题:
1. 若申请公司H-1B是否不用等到批准就可开始工作(假设USCIS receipt available before 10/30/09)?
-No, you need to get the H1 approved before you work (you can use premium processing to get it approved within 15 days).
10/30/09之后需处境激活?
-No, if you file H1 application before your F1 expires.
若申请学校的H-1B呢?
-No difference.
或者因J-1 issue resurface 根本不会批准?
-Technically, you are not qualified for H1 before J1 waiver, but it is possible USCIS still approve your H1 application just like they did it for you before.
2.拜读过Pjiang 的“I-485 被拒会引得三、十年的入境限制,--吗?” 等大作,“在提交 I-485 申请之后,如果申请人没有维持住自己的非移民身份,那么就进入了 AOS. 按照移民局的说法,AOS 是authorized stay,虽然没有 authorized status. 如果申请人在 AOS 状态时,其 I-485 被拒,那么其 authorized stay 也就自动地结束了。在这种情况下,申请人可以有两条路可走:1) 境内申请 reinstate 非移民身份;2) 境外签证。其中,境内申请的结果,有可能被拒,或批准了但要求境外签证激活。”好像未提及485 derivative 申请人的情况。
若我用485EAD开始工作(too risky?!)
-Somewhat risky because you do not get J1 waiver yet.
,一旦485被拒,
-You still can work until your EAD expires even if your I-485 is denied unless USCIS cancel your EAD at the time your I-485 denial.
可否不离境境求助245(k)等到J-1 waiver完成在重新开始工作?
-You may need to go out of US to get an H1 visa to activate your h1, so your unlawful presence can not be > 180 days if your I-485 is denied.
这种设想有无可操作性?
3. 像我这样的485被拒,是否可file MTR?
-Yes,but you can not win unless you get J1 waiver, but you can get some more time to extend your lawful presence to get the j1 waiver. If your MTR is denied due to lack of J1 waiver, you still can file a new I-485 after you get the J1 waiver as long as your unlawful presence is < 180 days.
4. 关于J-1 waiver, 有没有人境内申请,境外完成的?一旦不成功,是否可以有途径返回?毕竟全家都在这里。
寝食不安,感谢任何建议。
