I130 Asylum and 601a
Hello,
I need help, I feel like my lawyer is not explaining anything and guiding us correctly. My husband came to US in 2017 and has had an active asylum case since then. In 2022 we got married and I am a us citizen, after or marriage his lawyer said we couldn’t wait for asylum decision anymore and need to file i130. We filed and got approved for i130 and now he said the asylum case is dismissed and we need to file something called 601a or he will be deported. Has any one else had experience like this? My husband now has no work permit and no status and our lawyer is just saying different things every time. Any advice would be appreciated thank you. #601a #asylum #i130

Someone had the I140 request denied, and consequently the I485 that was active appeared denied , what did your lawyer advise you? I made a motion for the I140 which has not yet been analyzed (it was sent within the deadline 93 days ago) and a motion for the I485 which was denied! I'm still in the US, my I485 was denied 58 days ago! #290 #eb2 #denied #motion #I-290B
My EB1 October Visa Bulletin predictions
ROW: Current for both Final Action Date (FAD) and Date for Filing (DF)
China FAD: 6/1/2022 - 10/1/2022; DF: 10/1/2022 - 2/1/2023
India FAD: 2021 - 2/1/2022; DF: 6/1/2022
Just my guess and I'm not confident at all... If I'm right, I'll feel good, but if it's not right, well, that won't be surprising. #visabulletin
Previous company h1b moved to 90 miles away without amendment, will it be deemed as violation of h1b in 485 application?
Planning to submit eb3 485 application in next month, just realized that h1b's requirement about home location. I moved to a place which is 90 miles away from the company's location, and didn't know that I need to file amendment, it was back in Covid situation, we barely need to go to office and I did commute to the office several times. The thing is that I can't file amendment anymore because I already work in a new company with new h1b now.
I wonder whether IO would consider this as violation of h1b status, and say that I am out of status in AOS application? How serious is this? I have a USA born baby, could he help waive it?
Super stressed now, any tips would be appreciated. Please give me your advice or similar experience!

A-Number on Green Card Forms
Hi All, I first came to the US as an F1 student and did my OPT during that period. On my EAD card, I have an A-Number. However, when I adjusted my status to H-1B, the A-Number was never on the paperwork (not in the forms, not in the receipt notice, not in the approval letter). Should I include the old F-1 OPT A-Number on the I-130, I-485, I-765, etc.?

Online access code to check document Tab in myUSCIS
Hello friends,
I was wondering if it's required for a case number to start with 'IOE' in order to receive an online access code from USCIS for the document tab. Additionally, I was curious if anyone who has filed for a Green Card through the EB category using paper files has been able to view the document tab after logging into myuscis. I appreciate any help or insight on this matter.
Thank you. #document tab #USCIS #Paper filing
My friend is undocumented (edited)
Hi guys,
My friend "A" is an illegal immigrant (undocumented) and has a girlfriend "B" who is in the US with her student visa (F1 - expired but has valid i-20s). "B" was offered a green card sponsorship through her workplace, so they are trying to get married because they heard from somewhere that "A" can also concurrently file as a spouse for a green card.
Is that true? I really don't think it's a good idea for them to get married if this isn't valid information. All this time, I thought only marrying a US citizen can save his status. I don't want any of their statuses to be ruined.
Please advice!

H1B Visa Portability
Hi everyone,
I needed some assistance on some visa issues.
I have graduated last year with MS in Data Science and currently on my F1-OPT.
My EAD ends on 5th August, 2023 and I can opt for either STEM OPT extension or H1B cap gap. I got my H1B approved from my current employer just this July. My H1B visa - change of status starts from October 1st only.
However, my current employer is laying off candidates and have mentioned that if they don't find a project for me in these 3 months- until September, they might let me go.
I have another job offer but confused about the start date and H1B visa transfer process. I am super stressed out as I don't want to be out of a valid employment status.
If there is anyone who can help me with this, I will be very grateful.
Questions:
Can I change my job during H1B Cap gap?
What if my current employer lays me off on September 30th? Would I still have my H1B as valid?
When can my new employer begin the H1B transfer process?
Would I need to have payslips of October from current employer for H1B to be valid?
If anyone has any legal leads, or have faced a similar situation before please comment. I will DM you. Thanks again for reading this and helping me.

PERM Priority Date
My immigration options are given below:
October 2022: My employer filed PERM, but not yet approved.
January 2023: NIW I-140 approved.
May 2023: EB1A I-140 approved.
I have the following queries:
1) I want to clarify if having an approved PERM means I have obtained the priority date. Is it necessary to file an I-140 after receiving PERM approval through the employer to secure the PERM priority date?
2) If my PERM is not approved, but I file I-485 when EB1A becomes current, what happens if my PERM gets approved after 1 or 2 months of I-485 filing? Can I update the PERM priority date on my submitted I-485 application with the approved PERM? Will this shorten my waiting time for the I-485?
