The Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) issued an August 20, 2009 press release, reporting a decline in offers of admission from U.S. graduate schools to prospective foreign students. This is the first decline in the rate of offers to foreign students since 2004.
While these significant reductions affected the overall decline in foreign student enrollment, the number of offers of admission to students from the People's Republic of China grew at a rate of 13 percent. The CGS press release indicates that this was the fourth year in a row of double-digit growth in the number of students from China offered admission to U.S. graduate schools.
With the up coming biggest education Expo in China (http://www.phdchina.org/english/index.shtml), the US is the country of Honour at this show. This is a clear sign that Chinese students are looking at the US as the main destination for studies and future opportunities.
There is a significant economic contribution made by foreign students in tuition and related expenditures, as well. Generally, a foreign student is required to pay tuition at the much higher out-of-state rate, even when attending a state school. The potential of Chinese students boosting the economy is significant and should not be ignored. Even Consular officers realize this factor and student visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137176.html) issuance to Chinese students has increased by 40% according to a recent survey.

I applied under EB2-NIW on July 28, 2007. Under the concurrent filing allowed at that time, I submitted NIW, I-140, I485, and EAD applications for me and my wife. I have changed jobs, and joined a new company last week.
Since I filed a self-petition, my application should not be directly affected by this move. However what do I need to do to inform uscis about this change, so that my receipts/EAD etc. do not go to the wrong place, or worse, get returned by the post office.
Please advice. Any additional info/experience would be great.

Hello,
You can not (lawfully) re-enter on an H1B, as you're out of status. If you get caught lying at the border, you will be turned back and will likely be permanently barred from entering the U.S. You'll want to re-enter on an H4 visa - you dont need an H4 petition, although obviously you'll need to qualify for the H4, so be prepared to document your spouse's H1 approval and valid status.
Are you stating that you were laid off (thus overstaying), or that you were benched without pay (meaning your employer should have been paying you)? With more than 90 days out-of-status, you may have triggered a period of ineligibility to re-enter the U.S.
Given the apparent overstay issue, I suggest consulting an immigration lawyer.
Hope you find these information valuable.

I left the US for good after spending around 5 years on H1-B sometime last year and have only made entries on tourist visa. Can I apply for a new 6 year H1-B quota since leaving the H1-B status last year or will I have to spend 1 year outside since the last tourist visa entry ?

Hi All,
I recently got my I140 approved and I am waiting to file my I485 as my priority date(Oct 2007) is still not current(EB2 category, India).Not sure how long it is going to take as the current backlog is July 2000 for India and China.
My brother is a citizen of the US and I need to clarify if my brother can apply for a family-based green card for me and how long does it take to get the EAD when applied through this process as compared to filing through the employer when I reach my priority date.
Also need to clarify if this process is sooner or still the same as applying through the employer.
Thanks in advance.
Current PD for sibling is 1998. I dont think there is any issues for filing thru family based GC.

Hey guys,
i just picked this puppy, i ws either thinkin canon s400/500 or sony T1, i know the quality of the pics of canon are superb, but from experience of SONY camera and the size size of t1 just blown me away.
anyway, i know that there are many features, which initially are not easy to use and it takes time, but once you learn the feature,s its phenomenal!
my question was, for INDOOR use, what is the best mode to use? i tried with auto, but thigns come out blurry when there are movigng objects, or people in my case, i try to use the sports mode, but then it comes out really dark. is tehre any other mode or anythgin else i can adjust in auto mode to take nice still pictures for moving objects indoor with decent flash?
Thanks

One required initial evidence (not medical) was not included in my recently submitted 485. Is it possible to send it now without receipt before 08/17?
If it's possible, what's the proper procedure?
Please kindly share your comments and experience.

There are organizations there that support all immigrants, and CIR is not just about undocumented workers, it will benefit us as well. IV should sign-up and join the tide.

I am on my 9th year extension of my H1B. I have to leave to my home country at a short notice. I have H1B stamped on my passport. However it expires at the end of September. I may not be back until the first week of September.
I have already filed for my H1B extension and I am waiting for my Receipt notice.
Will there be any issue coming back into US when my visa stamped on my passport is valid for less than a month. I don't think my extension will be processed by then.
Anyone on this forum who has had similar experience in the past?
Thanks for your response in advance.

Hello Friends :
I recd. an email from my attorney this evening stating that "We have mailed you the FOIA request for your and your spouse's signature."
This doesnt make any sense to me, as to what does FOIA mean to start with. So I emailed them back asking, what does it mean and is it something to do like RFE towards my AOS papers filed on 2nd July,2007 (no checks cashed yet, no info in system yet).
My Attorney replied back stating that - "We have filed for full copies of your petitions to be sent to us. The FOIA will allow us to obtain a copy to check the integrity of the filing for our records. Looks like, it will be several years before these I-485 petitions are actually reviewed by the Service unless we see a change in the law. ."
What does this all mean? I am so confused....
Pls. advise me. Thanks a lot

I posted the same kind of question in murthy forum and I got a reply that education requirement is not needed once I140 is approved which determines EB2/EB3. So I guess we can port to any job which is similar/same. Don't take my word and do your own research for exact info.
