Q&A 分析

1. Dear Mr. Fan, my 485 is pending now. Now I am having the problem, USCIS asks for birth certificate, which must be issued by the appropriate civil authority showing timely registration, date and place of birth, and parents' names. Along with that there should be a translation. I initially submitted a notarized document showing my birth date, place and my parent’s names, which is very similar to most of our Chinese people’s. Unfortunately, I don't have a certificate like many people born in 70's, any suggestions or experience would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!! Thanks for a million and waiting for your kind reply! 对于从国内的人，只要出示公证处所发的出生公证便可，无需有出生公证。对于台湾来的人则是需要户口膳本的中英本。有经验的移民官员都知道这是对中国及台湾来的要求。要是有这样的情形发生，申请人应该要求律师查出法律的条文，然后寄给移民局。一般而言，往往真正的医院发的出生证明反而不能被接受。因为移民局所要求的是由政府单位所发出的证明。 2. Dear Mr. Fan: I have a very trouble case and would like you kindly to give me answers: Our I-140 and I-485 filed together as outstanding researcher were denied in March 2005 because CIS Nebraska Center officer thought my job offer is not permanent: he said that ‘the scientist position is permanent for most universities, but I am not permanent employed. I may change job after 2 or 3 years.’ It is strange the officer’s decision of separated position from the employment, I think. My attorney on behalf of my university has appealed I-140 with letters stated my permanent employment from an associate dean and a human resource director, and associate general counsel. However, I don’t know the possibility of this appeal. (What is your guess?) So I have to think about my daughter who has lost her status now. Our problem is that my daughter is above 21 years old and her status was depending on the pending of I-485. She lost status because of the denial. My attorney said my daughter can apply for another I-485 based upon the I-140 appeal, so she can temporarily have a legal status. You kindly told me that I-485 still active during I-140 appeal period. Should she apply for I-485 again? My daughter’s H4 visa has expired. Her status was on I-485 pending and she is still on advance patrol (CIS issue active date: June 22, 2004 to June 21, 2005 ) until August 21, 2005 (first entrance) and January 13, 2006 (second entrance) on passport or I-94. She wants to have an F-1 visa, but she cannot have it within the US because she doesn’t have no-immigration visa. She could not apply for F1 visa outside US because she may be denied because her immigration status / motive (already denied). My attorney could not answer me well. Could you tell us how to apply for F1 visa for daughter and how to keep my daughter legal? Thank you so much, Bo 只要I-140仍在上诉阶段，I-485就仍然是有效的。申请人的女儿无需再申请一份I-485。因为女儿已经超过21岁，H-4是不能再申请。至于F-1只是因为已经提出I-485往往申请不到，因为F-1不可有Dual Intent。但是因为I-140已经被拒，I-485也就失效。所以可以提出F-1，但往往同时H-4早已失效。所以已经失去非移民签证，在此时F-1也就申请不到。最好的办法是I-140的上诉一定要得到批准，否则情形会很不好。 3. Dear Mr. Fan, I have filed I485 almost two years ago, still there isn't any updates from INS. What's the normal processing time for EB3 application right now? If my spouse has only I485 pending status now can she apply for H-1 or H-4 status? Thanks 因为I-485是属于EB-3，自然要等很久财会被批准。此时除非一直维持合法的非移民签证，否则是不能转到其它的任何签证。唯一解决的方法是要国外的领事馆去签H-1或H-4。但是因为已经提出I-485，领事馆这时多半不会给H-1或H-4。 4.我去年8月同时递上I140和I485，今年2月140批准，4月按手印。现在以H1B做市场及财务工作，无EAD工卡，485等候。请问：（1〕我是否可以换市场或财务（相近但不等同的〕工作？（2〕如能换工作，是否要办H1B，或由新公司申请EAD？ 3〕485未批准前换工作对于485的批准是否有影响？非常感谢！ AC21要求identical 或 similar的工作。申请人要注意similar的解释与定义为何。基本上要看工作的要求为何，以及工作的内容。我想市场与财务是两个不同的工作与要求，所以AC21可能并派不上用场。为了安全理由，申请人最好一直保持H-1B，万一I-485有问题，因为持有H-1B，仍可留在美国。只要工作符合AC21，转换工作对I-485不会有问题。 6. I have a question about my Green card approval (I-485). My I-140 was approved in 2003; I-485 was submitted at the end of 2002. Now I don't get any notice from INS about my I-485. I sent a letter to Vermont requesting the case status. The answer is short of people working on security check. My question is, what can I do to speed up the processing instead of just waiting for time passing? Someone gives me two options: 1. through lawyer to submit case request. Do you have more way/channel to communicate with INS at Vermont Center instead of sending regular letter or fax? 2. File a new I-485 to INS, hoping INS is processing new application faster than old case (it already was Put into stack due to backlog. Is it true and help? 律师并没有特殊的管道，但是对一些拖得很久的案子，我们可以与移民局联系，或是经由移民律师协会负责这方面与移民局的联络律师帮忙查询。有时也可以托当地的国会议员出面都会有所帮助。我曾当面请教过移民局的资深的移民官，他的回答是移民局不会掉了这些案子，但是这些案子大多被压在很底下。往往重新申请I-485是解决之道。我不知道这样的答案是否有用，但可能是一条途径。 --------------------------- 本文由范毅禹律师事务所提供 本律师事务所精办各类劳工应聘及专业移民申请 (包括H-1，L-1，EB-1，EB-2，NIW，劳工卡，绿卡等申请)。所有申请由多位美籍律师及拥有15年经验的范毅禹律师亲自处理，我所并特设中英移民网站。内有最新移民新闻资讯及由律师主持的移民问答集，欢迎读者流览查询。 www.Fan-Law.com CALIFORNIA : Fan & Fitzpatrick, P.A. 370 E.
