Nope, that's the passport number. Book number does not apply if you hold a Nigerian passport

KMRR:
dear VO please advise me

My name is KMRR. I am in India. I needed your suggestion before going to apply for H1b.
My First H1B approved 2008 July . I got it stamped on passport from India on April 2008.
I came to USA on May 15 2008. I applied employer transfer.. Here are my H1b transfer details.
I got approval from USCIS for 04-21-2009 to 07-14-2011 .
I returned to India on June 2009 for family reason.
June 2009 to March 2010 I was in India. Again I came to USA on March 2010.
On June 2010 I applied change of status H1 to F1(Try valley university) on August 2010 I revoke my petition when it is on the process. Because they are fraud University.
Here my question - is there any impact on my H1B if can recapture now.
Again I applied change of status F1 on 2011 April with University of Northern Virginia (UNVA). When it is on process I returned to India on July 2012.
I received denial letter on November 2012..I was in India.
Now my question is can I recapture my H1B. what are the chances to getting H1B Approval.
One of my friend also applied H4( after divorced with her Husband A) to F1 with the same university. She got denial on 2012 she returned to India.
Now she got married and applied H1(new husband B) . she got 6c1 misrepresentation. Please have a look at on attached document.
I thought that I am also on same boat but only difference is she got denial and she has to move from USA.
My case is a bit different “ I moved to India before denial .
Please advise me “ is there any chances to recap my H1B if so what are the chances to get 6c1 and how much you charge for whole process.
Thanks

There's a different thread for the VO, but this is not even a VO issue. They issue visas and don't deal with CoS once you're in the US...USCIS takes care of that. I'd suggest you talk to your company attorney if you have one i.e. the one filing for you. If you've had contradicting details about yourself in past dealings with them or they suspect some fraud, then you might get the same result. I'd still talk to a lawyer if I were you.

Hello house pls who is going for the USA school fair in abuja today?

The information you'll garner here reading from Part 1 is a zillion times more than what they'll tell you there. The earlier you started reading, the better.

That's the quarter system, not the very popular semester calendar...a number of schools operate that.

warriboy21:
please guz

is it ok for an international student to work and receive money as a freelancer in the US(Online jobs and all)

is it regarded as a job

is it against the immigration laws for student not to work offside campus.

thanks in earnest reply

Yes, even if you don't receive any pay....at least doesn't sound like passive income/work to me.

lekan96:
Ok Noted bro, thanks so much.

Note that while the semester calendars already mentioned are about the most common..some schools operate on the trimester/quarter calendar, slightly different. Get to know which one your choice school uses.

@ justwise, @LagosismyHome, @Walspring, @ gentledoj etc
Good day everyboby.

I want to ask...

Is it possible for me to do a PERSONAL RESEARCH on a particular topic and get it publish? If it is possible, do i need to get a lecturer to endorsed it for me? or just go ahead and publish it?

NOTE: I'm not a master(graduate student), just a BSc.


I DON'T HAVE A JOB, HENCE I NEED TO GET TO WORK ON SOMETHING.

My questions for you would be, do you want it published as a conference paper, journal ? what publications are you looking at? ..Papers go through serious peer reviews by different faculty from different schools/industries. Your paper will need to successfully pass through the process which is rigorous even for people with some research experience..so basically it's more than just a project. That's one reason you want to consider working with someone who has that experience and also in that field. There are few other reasons as well.
Check out this link https://www.researchgate.net/post/Why_is_it_becoming_increasingly_rare_to_see_single-authored_journal_papers

Can you please give the site for Auction vehicles in the US?
THANK YOU

In most cases, you'd need a license to get vehicles on auction. One advice..don't buy online since it's your first time. If you are really interested, look for a dealer around you who has helped one or two people get good cars and goes to the auction regularly. They'd know the good used ones. You can go with them to the auction as well..it's a nice experience by the way.

Walspring:
Welcome to the right place where you will do it yourself without using any agent or falling into wrong hand only if you are ready to read from previous parts to this present part and learn a lot.

1, you can use your Aunty as sponsor provided you will prove to VO why she is going to spend such money on you and to be realistic California is very expensive in terms of living while the Bay Area is not if I am not wrong then it is sure and on record that most schools in California will be expensive with housing as well..

2, you will get schools but in terms of affordability maybe above 30k for overall total maybe that is affordable for you and your sponsor but make use of Google and gradschools.com to get your taste.

3, do the process yourself then make use of my answer 1 and 2 and update your Aunty because your Aunty won't be the one to go for the visa interview and reply questions that VO will ask as well..

The bay area is super expensive...

@lekkyg, in addition to the answers above, that your aunt is in Cali doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a better life there than somewhere else. If she's planning to sponsor you?, that can be done from any state within the country. You could also be really far from her if you eventually move in to there, even though you'll be in the same state. Widen your options...try other states as well and aim to get some funding. Nothing bad in giving California preference if you get say full funding!

brightify:
you will see at auction, a friend of mine got Honda accord 2005 for $1800 and he make sense die

...and how much will he spend on repairs? add that to the cost.

Wireless charging would have made a lot of sense; and well those airpods would be so easy to lose...

Triggeredsam:
Good life I wish all, please Which bank offers sharp sharp Form A processing abi na black market is the option! Urgently need to pay fees deposit 2000usd the course is competitive only 17 need for MSc now 15 have confirmed there place by paying deposit! Need help please house

Competitive course...hmm. What course is that? And what is the name of the School? I hope you know paying that deposit may guarantee admission but not visa.

xcaper:
So what hapens if one fails to get a job within 60 days after masters in engineering ?

Enroll in some course to extend your I-20, change your F-1 status to another or carry your bags and leave...those are the major options you have.

LagosismyHome:
Stem : after F1 study graduation you will be given one year OPT , then after the one year you can apply for extension for another 24 months ..... Making it a total of 36 months after graduation . However you need to be in employment to get the 24 months extension and the JOb must be related to your field of study .....So yes if you qualify that would be 3 years work permit

However this has nothing to do with Greencard ........ For green card work route , usually your employer would need to file a work visa called H1B (which i guess within that 36 months so the earlier within that time frame the better). Then after h1B visa at some point then file for Greencard ....... Once you have an approved Greencard then 5years later Citizenship . Gosh it seems like many years ahead but time goes by fast and if you are lucky at some point you get to the END (which becomes clearer once u see an approved greencard) ......So for now, its to take it one step at a time .. Also check Canada they have a faster route if you want stay

..and xcaper, you need to get a job within 60 days of graduation to qualify for OPT. So, OPT is not automatic!

onyembu2013:
@bilikey, how can someone get to read all those professors publication. I have been trying to find some professor publication but to no avail

Just google the name and you can see links to his/her profile. That should have links to free copies of papers and journals. Use google scholar as well.

oluwafemikolade:
Hello House, Please anyone know or has an idea about the process of getting a car registered in Texas? What are the requirements needed to be get this done.

Walspring
Lagos is my home.

Typically if you are buying from a dealer, they get the registration and inspection done before sale and you don't have to worry about it until renewal. A lot of private sellers do it too..that being said, the DMV website has the requirements if you have to do it yourself
http://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/register-your-vehicle

electronic:
I applied late Bro!
U of Arkansas Fayetville Reject PHD
U of Arkansas Little Rock Admit PHD no funding
Miami Ohio admit Msc no fundiing
Oklahoma State University. Reject PHD

You should widen your options to schools in Texas as well..try UTD,UTA and submit your application as early as you can. You should get funding with your profile for EE. Hope your LoRs and statement are really good too.
Another thing that can help your application is also to contact professors who's research work align with what you want, and then email them about your interest. Give them a call if you can. You should have read few of their papers before doing this, or they might not even reply your email.

MBA in Business manegment (Msc)

You mean MBA?

slimmy2005:
Yeah I know that. Once just have to respect intellectual property sometimes and appreciate efforts to put down to get it out.

Please, I have a friend that is Pace University. She is presently in Connecticut but looking for how to get accommodation in Manhattan. I don't know much about New York. Any suggestion how to get cheap and safe accommodation.

I don't think 'cheap' and 'Manhattan' go together in the same sentence..Staten island and long island would be options or even Jersey city

LagosismyHome:
Well everycase is different and what worked for A mightnot for B.... but in my friend case
She is doctor who had finished residency in the US so her earning power was good and her husband although a naija but citizen hasnt done much career wise so he was almost earning below poverty line self to file for her ..... that helped with the proof i guess among other things they had to show but really it was their lawyer who provided them guidance ...

Your sister can present that line of reasoning to her lawyer (economic hardship ) and see if he can package her story or advice her

That's the job of the lawyer, all he needs tell them is what he wants.
By the way Mustghan..you can always ask on avvo.com. You can get some free legal consultation some 15 minutes or so. Hiring an immigration attorney is expensive and might not be worth it, depending on your case. Those guys are out there to take all your money. Don't hire one unless it is absolutely necessary. I'm sure you know there are no guarantees too.

I saw Verizon commercial about fiber optic internet the other day but I never cared to listen what the speed limit was. That kind of gbps should be for multiple connections and big businesses.

Very big ones..those are lightening speeds!

mevisbleek:
Has 300 been released?

Thought 150 is the latest

You can get up to 2Gbps on fiber...but of course you won't need up to that if the most you do is stream live and probably play internet games

MsNas:
Quit educating! But I beg to differ on a few things (expenses wise). No pun intended oo.

First, I'll say you have quite the money to spend. Cos I'm pretty sure most of us international students never spend up to $10,000 in our first semester not to talk of $18,000. Lol

The fact is that apart from tuition, he could still do virtually everything written there at about half their cost.

Rheenah:
Okay. This is crazy. Like very crazy. There is no time in the states!!! 24 hours is not enough here. I'm still in my orientation week. Classes haven't started yet I'm stressed. Idk if its my school or if that's how it is with other schools. I can't even remember when last I came here. To all those who are waiting for their visa, you will get it. To all those helping those in need here, God bless you. God bless this e-family

@bolded..well it's about to get even busier

LagosismyHome:
Although I am not an expert on immigration matters and stand to be corrected as sometimes these Visas gets confusing .. Staying/ Living in the USA as a dependent visa no problem, its the right to work and school that brings the complication

Situation 1: when you are a student - F2 cannot work or attend full time school So if she plans to study then she has to be on her seperate F1 visa ....... If she wants to stay at home, not school and not work then f2 ok .

Situation 2: When u are now on work permit: If she is on her F1 she can remain on it or switch to your H4 dependent visa ..if she has no visa she can be put on h4..... H4 can school but cannot work so here it gets tricky

For both of you to work then you need to be on separate H1b visa because remember I said h4 cannot work only school . So after her own graduation if she wants to work then she cannot if she is still on h4 visa. She would need to switch to her own separate h1b to be able to work .

So the best thing might be to be on separate f1 , separate h1B until after a company has successfully filled green card for you and spouse . At Green card level there is no work or school restriction …..I know it’s annoying but I think that how it is but again I am not expert . when you get to that bridge its best to consult an expert who will can recommend what will work best for your situation

cc: Tending

The best bet might be for him to get an F-1 visa, bring the wife along on F-2. Whenever along the process the wife decides to start school (if after one year and in the same state, would be treated as a in-state resident in some states in which case qualifies for in-state tuition), she applies for change of status with USCIS. The wife switches to F-1, both of them look for job after graduation on OPT, one or both hopefully gets H1-B and GC sponsorship through a company..that way the risk is less; in case one person doesn't get it.

@bolded, if the spouse has a pending immigrant petition but with I-140 approved, the H4 dependent can work...as long as the H1-B is valid

So how do you get out of a recession?

A lot other ways have proven effective in other countries. Very strong fiscal policies and encouraging growth of small businesses/indigenous startups...diversify the economy etc.

LoveMachine:
Nigeria’s Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun on Friday said the government will allocate 60 billion naira ($180 million) more spending on capital projects.

The central bank governor has said recession is likely.


http://www.tv360nigeria.com/nigeria-approve-180m-capital-spending-adeosun/

You can't spend your way out of a recession this way...

sirRiddy:
Yeah. My roommate has been here for just a year and he has a 'Discover' card already.
Based on his credit score, he has had the card for at least six months.
I don't even bother discussing it with him as even the 'gbese' for my head don dey enough for now.

Well you can get a secured card..basically just like using your bank debit card. That way you start building a credit history
