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.

Is it correct that with an AP you are not guaranteed re-entry? There was a qualifier on the INS website? For how many months is it valid? DO you need a lawyer to re new it or is it an easy process that any layman can re-new on their own?

I am a july 07 filer with EB2 PD Oct 2005. I switched employers in early part of this year. My employer has been very erratic and not paying me salary for past 2 months because his money is not cleared from his client. I have found another contract but my employer wants to wait until his money is cleared before he can pay me and that can take longer than 6 months !!! (if his money is not cleared before)
Under such circumstances I am jeopardising everything. I was wondering if I start working for my own company on a W2 with a same job profile same salary structure will USCIS consider this as something fraudulent or do they allow self employment under AC21 ? After I have my GC I plan to continue working for my own company. In that case what do I need to do from my side to make this happen ? I started my company in August 2008.
green if this helps otherwise just ignore.

If I'm not mistaken, PD is only linked to your I-140 receipt notice as it is specifically for labor authorization / certification.
As long as it shows on your I-140, you should be fine.

I have PD which is current (Jun 03 EB2 India), a RD which is current (Jun 05! yes VSC transfer to TSC in Apr 07). In the last week of Nov 07 got a simple RFE (medical RFE wherein the doc forgot to check one box), which was replied promptly and got confirmation from USCIS that they got the response.
Have been following up with USCIS (service request, POJ-TSC from April 7th). Got a soft LUD today (04/22/2008). does it mean anything ?

While on H1B with Employer A, can I use EAD for 2nd job with Employer B?
Also, can I work as independent consultant/contractor (get 1099 instead of W2) while working on H1B with Employer A?

I have ben working with employer A on an H1B ( even labor and I-140 approved, PD-April2009) and planning to apply for H1 transfer now through employer B.
After the transfer is approved for B, if I change my mind and decide to continue to work with curent employer A, can I do that ?
Thanks,

Hi Friends,
I am a green card holder, becoming eligible for citizenship in April 2009. My fianc�e has been in the US for the past 2 plus years on F1. She completes her MS in December this year .We plan to visit our home country in August this year and get married. I thought this was a relatively uncomplicated case till I read in some forum recently that marriage to a permanent resident can be a barrier to being admitted to the U.S. in F-1 status. This is because such a marriage obliterates the "non-immigrant" intent required for F-1 entrants. This could very easily jeopardize her plan to re-enter in F-1 status.
Any thoughts or advice on this? Appreciate all the help.
Thanks a lot.

They might accept the application but send in an RFE with a request to pay the difference ;)
Wish USCIS accepts applications after 27th and ask for the fee difference .. Win Win for all if the fee was the concern for USCIS .. hehe:D :D

Hi,
I have lost one of the old H4 I797 originals of my spouse. What is the process for getting a duplicate of it. I saw somewhere that I824 needs to be applied. But not sure of below doubts.
1. Who should apply I824? employer or individuals ( in this case myself)?
2. If employer need to apply, should it be current employer?
3. how long does it generally take?
4. Is it ok if I dont know the approval number as I dont have a copy of the I797.
5. What other documents are required?
Please help
Thanks,
Vikram
AFAIK old H4 797 is not important. My wife we did not have a 797 when we came here initially, also we had also lost her old H4 797 (but we had photo copies).Her 485 was approved without any RFE

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced that it has posted a revised Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Form I-485. In addition to a revised form, there are new filing locations. The changes are part of an overall effort to transition the intake of USCIS benefit forms from Service Centers to Lockbox facilities. Centralizing form and fee intake allows USCIS to provide the public more efficient and effective initial processing of applications and fees.
Beginning February 25, 2010, most applicants must submit Form I-485 to a USCIS Lockbox facility, depending on the eligibility category under which they are filing, as provided in the form instructions. USCIS Service Centers will forward all Form I-485 applications to the appropriate Lockbox facility until March 29, 2010. USCIS will accept previous versions of Form I-485 until March 29, 2010. After March 29, 2010, USCIS will only accept the Form I-485 dated �12/03/09.�Any previous versions of the the form that are submitted will be rejected. After the transitional period, the Service Centers will return any incorrectly filed Form I-485 with instructions to send the application to the correct location.
At this time, applicants should not concurrently file Form I-485 with an Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (Form I-140) at a USCIS Lockbox facility. Refer to the Form I-140 filing Instructions for information on how to file forms concurrently.
When filing Form I-485 at a Lockbox facility, you may elect to receive an email and/or text message notifying you that USCIS has accepted your application. To receive notification, you must complete an E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance (Form G-1145), and attach it to the first page of your application.
For more information on USCIS programs, visit (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis) or call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.
