Hi All,
A few questions for those who have experience with registering a sole prop. in the US.
My wife is on an H4 visa and has registered a sole prop. earlier this year. Since she is not eligible to work, she has hired a U.S. citizen as a contractor to run the company.
Does owning a company in the US have any impact on our green card application?
Can she draw profits from the company at the end of the year as a return on the investment she made to start the company?
Is she considered a "U.S. person" ( seen in multiple tax forms )?
Is it safe for her to fill out a W-9 form with the FEIN that the company was registered with?
Thanks for the quick response.
Not a very good idea, IMHO.
Has she hired anyone for company affairs - hiring, tax and other reports. She can NOT perform any work for sole proprietorship, other than as pure investment.
C-Corp could have better choice.

Anti trust lawsuits are brought about when it is found that a company or institution is using it's power of monopoly to bring in anti-competitive measures. In this case, which institution is using it's monopoly - the government?

Gurus,
First of all sorry to open a new thread. My PD is March 06 EB2. My i-485 reached uscis on July 2.
Is it advisable to change jobs? I'm planning to join bearing point consulting comp where they would start GC only after one year. As you guys know consulting job is quite unsecured. Only advantage with the new company is career growth.
Or should I wait for the outcome of lawsuit
please advise

I am in the same situation and my attorney advised me to definetely file my wife's H4 extension along with my H1, but make sure to only request her H4 extension till Sept 30, 2007 so that her H1 approved COS will take effect from Oct 1st.
Hope this helps.

I heard that only applicants who are current are considered as backlogged - is this true?
Applicants who are not current - which statistical group do they belong to?
You are correct. Is USCIS definition to show less numbers on their graphs.

Hello everyone, i have a good news to share that i just checked my case and it shows "Card production ordered". I guess it means my 485 has been approved.
Thanks a lot for everyone here and you guys are very helpful and ofcourse this web site as well. Great and good luck to everyone!
Well, i do have a question regarding my wife 485 case which i just filed this month (July 1st) as my case is current from July 1st. I filed my 485 before i got married, and now it is time and i filed on July 1st, and not received any receipt number from USCIS for my 485 case.
As per my lawyer, there is no worries as we filed on time, and your case is approved just today, means, they should process your wife case when time comes. May be another 4 or 6 months. As long as her case is processed without any issue, then it is fine.
I would like to hear from you guys that if anyone has got this kind of case and any inputs from you guys would be really appreciated.
Thanks once again for all you guys help, and inputs. Great!
Your lawyer is right. I was in the same situation. For employement based GCs you can file dependents case upto 180 days from approval. Check law 245(K)

Hello Gurus,
I have a strange situation, request advice, suggestions and ideas from expertise...,
My H1 B petition/I 94 is expiring on July 14th 2008, I need to apply for extenstion now. I have applied for 140 and 485 through another company B as future employee.
Now, I cannot show to my current company that i have applied for 140 and 485 and I need to extend H1.
In the H1 extension forms/questionaire there is a column asking if you have ever applied for 485 and 140, since i cannot disclose this to my current emp, can I just say 'No' to these questions. If I say No what would be the impact?
or Do we have to say 'Yes' Mandatorily else will it create problems??
Please show some light on this..

I am posting this on behalf of my cousin who is stuck in India pending stamping. He went to Mumbai consulate for H1 B stamping on Apr 29th. He was asked for further evidence about his employer and his employer's payroll details for all employees etc. After much confusion created by the consulate, the details were provided by his employer and by him (sealed copies) as well. He has visited the consulate 3 times and VFS office couple of times and was told your passport will be returned in couple of days but till date he has not received it.
He also has his AOS application pending with USCIS with his wife as the primary applicant. He has a valid EAD card and AP (which needs renewal). It's been a really long time he had to spend away from his family. He has certain questions he would like to get clarified,
1. How long can it take for 221g pending case to clear? I have submitted my passport to consulate on 10th Jun.
2. Can I write consulate a hand written mail (not an email) asking for passport saying that I want to travel on travel doc as I'm away from my wife for 8,9 months.
3. Can I ask consulate to return my passport without H1 stamping for renewal of Travel Document (AP)?
4. Can I travel on my travel doc (AP) after asking my passport back without any problem at the port of entry?
5. After asking for my passport back will it affect the renewal of my travel document (AP)?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I got appointment letter for Biometrics from USCIS. I already gave in 2007.
Why are they asking again? and I only got this, my husband and son didn't get it.
Right now I am on EAD, since last december(2009) I am not working, will there be any issues as I am the primary applicant.
Thanks

Yes lonemetro,
You can re-use priority date established on first I-140 for any sub-sequent I-140 filling. As I understand from your post, you have EB3 labor approved and have just filed for I-140 based on it.
Now, parent company wants to transfer you. Generally I would think you should be able to transfer and still have your GC process going if the company indeed is a 'parent company' but seems there is something different here.
As a general rule, as long as your previously approved I-140 remained approved, you can re-use priority date established for that I-140 for any subsequent I-140 petition. The sub-sequent petition can be with any employer, and yes, you would need a new labor to file that new I-140 :)
Try EB1 or EB2 this time :cool:

I was on H-1 and got laid off on July 23. I filed for COS to H4 online on the same day and got the electronic receipt the same day. As I had filed I-539 after work hours, the receipt shows that USCIS received my application on July 26 instead of 23. I got the paper receipt in next 3 days. I hope this will not create any problems as my employer sent notification to USCIS on July 31 and I received my last paystub on July 31 though it was only till July 23. I have been working in US with good status for last 5 years.
Now I have some questions. Any help is greatly appreciated:
1) I recently got two Job offers from different consulting firms. When I told them that my H4 status is still pending, their attorneys told me conflicting things.
- One employer's attorney said that I have to wait till my H4 is approved and only then they could apply for my H1. At this time I have not status and they cannot file my H1.
- The other employer's attorney said that I could apply for H1 while my H4 is still pending by giving pending petition reference in the new H1 application. This will let USCIS adjudicate both the pending status together and there will be no problem for my H1.
Which one of them is correct ? What are the risks involved if I go with the advice of second attorney? Is there a possibility that filing H1 increases the chances the both my H4 and H1 applications are rejected and I could be OOS ?
2) Second question is that the second employer wants me to start immediately after I get H1 receipt. Am I eligible to work on a receipt with my situation or do I need to wait for the complete approval ? What if I get an RFE ? As this is a consulting firm, they have work order from end client for only 3 months and it will be renewed after every 3 months. Will this 3 month work order will create any problems ?
3) What is my current status ? Will the current time while H4 is pending will be counted against H1 or H4 ? As I have only a little over year left in my H1, it is important for me to know how much valid time I have left for H1. This processing time could go in months if I get an RFE.

Hi
I am planning to port my EB3 to EB2 but I donot have the Approval copy of my I-140 of my EB3 (But I have the receipt number) and I asked my privious Employer(who applied my case in EB3 and I used AC21 and moved to another company) for a copy of approved I-140 and he is not willing to give it to me.
Can I still port with out having I-140 approval copy of EB3? if yes, how?
