You would qualify for the H-1, but if you are out of status, you will have to travel to home country to get an H-1 visa before you can start working. Check the details with your lawyers. Once you have been outside USA for more than one year, you have the whole five years available again. No we do not have any updates on Visa applications for H1B. So far, we think they will be accepted as usual.

Answer: F-1 (Student Visa): The F-1 visa is for full-time students enrolled in an academic or language program. F-1 students may stay in the US for the full length of their academic program plus 60 days. F-1 students must maintain a full-time course load and complete their studies by the expiration date mentioned on the I-20 form.

You will be authorized to work for a specified period of time only if you are granted either Optional Practical Training or Curricular Practical Training. Yes you can work for any employer under F1 OPT, since you have been granted an Employment Authorization Card (EAD), to work in connection with the education obtained in the U.S. You will be legally considered to hold F1 status until sixty days past the expiration of your EAD card. You cannot work after the EAD expires.

Although this is not the most optimal scenario for a potential employee, it is not completely improbable to attain work status in the USA for F1 holders. On graduation, the employer will be responsible for proving why you would be in a more advantageous position than an American citizen. It should be noted, however, that the mere implication of a job offer from your employer is proof that you do meet these requirements.

If you do not plan to travel outside the U.S., you do not need to renew your visa. However, if you need to travel abroad, please stop by International Student Services, so that we can issue a new I-20, for the purpose of visa renewal. A Designated School Official will then enter your information into the government database, and produce a new I-20. The processing time for I-20 requests is nine (9) business days.

I am currently on valid F-2 derivative visa, in-status, residing in the US. The principal F-1 holder is also in-status and on a valid visa. I am intending to study fulltime in the US, I have been issued an I-20. I have not applied for a change of status with the USCIS (DHS Form I-539).

Yes. We will process your documents both academic and financial to obtain an I-20 form for you with which you should be able to obtain the requisite visa.

Yes it is technically possible, but it may not be desirable, as there could be risks in re-entering the U.S. after foreign travel. Therefore it is better to avoid switching from B2 to F1, especially soon after entry into the U.S., even if the USCIS (INS) initially approves the change of status to F1. For a situation like this you can contact an attorney.

Yes. Spouse and Kids qualify for green card irrespective (except for J1) of the type of visa, as long as they are on a valid visa in USA. The type of visa of the spouse/kids does matter. If the spouse/kids are on a J-1/J-2 visa with a 2yr HRR, they may not adjust status to permanent residency unless No advantage as of today because EB 3 and EB 2 are both current for the whole world. Please check the Visa Bulletin.

It is not possible to give an exact number because new viruses are literally being created every day. Furthermore, different antivirus researchers use different criteria to decide whether two viruses are different or one and the same. Some count viruses as different if they differ by at least one bit in their non-variable code. Others group viruses in families and do not count the closely related variants within a family as different viruses.
