There is no difference in filing taxes when you were on OPT vs H1B (by this I mean there are no different forms).
Aren't 1040, 1040 NR, 1040NR EZ different forms?
OP has to figure out whether he/she is a resident for tax purposes or not. Looking at the 9 months NR status and 3 month H status, it appears to me that the OP has Non Resident status. How ever, IRS publication will determine that correctly.
www.nrtaxreturn.com offers tax preparation for international scholars & students. The web based interview on nrtaxreturn does the residency test as well. At least it did 3 years ago when I helped out some one. AFAIK, Turbo tax does not offer Non Resident support.
The reason why OP got two W-2's is because his employer seems to know that FICA & MQFE should not be deducted from students on F1 status, unless they have been in the country for 5+ years.

Absolutely
the only requirement is if we can strictly follow what has been mentioned in the post.
Its like this .. would we be ready to drop $1000 or $2000 to get GC years earlier?
i think the answer in my case is yes.
You have noble intentions and I salute your spirit but it does not make practical sense to try and raise $1M when on the other thread, we have not even touched $15K!! At least, this will not happen with a donations only campaign. If a corporate were to sponsor, thats a different thing..
Again, I think all (ok, most!) the members would donate $2000 if there was assurance/certainty of positive outcome. A lot of people are sitting on the sidelines, hoping for a positive outcome, without contributing time and/or money.
People, please contribute time and money towards IV to help yourselves!

Try to record few of your conversations with him with a hidden camcorder and/or voice recorder, once you are sure you have enough evidence - talk to a good lawyer, also file for a h1b transfer and change job and once you get into your new job sue this old employer for mental agony and torture etc....... lawyer will manage this

brb2, Thanks for pointing it out. Actually the figure of 15% makes our case stronger. We will have it changed.
Seeing as how I and Stuck labor were the ones to put that National Interest Fact sheet together thought I should respond:
The NAS report is available at http://fermat.nap.edu/catalog/11463.html
The document is quoting from page ES-8 of the NAS report -- I'm cutting and pasting from the document
"In Germany, 36% of undergraduates receive their degrees in science and engineering. In China, the
figure is 59%, and in Japan 66%. In the United States, the corresponding figure is 32%."
The NAS document end note says "Based on data from Data are from National Science Board. 2004. Science and Engineering Indicators 2004 (NSB 04-01). Arlington, VA: National Science Foundation, Appendix Table 2-33."
The document you have linked to says
In South Korea, 38% of all undergraduates receive their degrees in natural science or engineering. In France, the figure is 47%, in China, 50%, and in Singapore 67%. In the United States, the corresponding figure is 15%.27 In South Korea, 38% of all undergraduates receive their degrees in natural science or engineering. In France, the figure is 47%, in China, 50%, and in Singapore 67%. In the United States, the corresponding figure is 15%.
And the document footnote says
Analysis conducted by the Association of American Universities. 2006. National Defense Education and Innovation Initiative. Based on data in National Science Board. 2004. Science and Engineering Indicators 2004 (NSB 04-01). Arlington, VA: National Science Foundation. Appendix Table 2-33. For countries with both short and long degrees, the ratios are calculated with both short and long degrees as the numerator.
So this is pretty odd -- both are based on the same base dataset, and it looks like the second document calculates the % differently. Also not sure why one says "science and engineering" and the other says "natural science and engineering"

My friend did the same thing. Not h1 extention but re-instatement of AP to H1.
It's same as applying for H1 (form 129 etc) but the option you select
is different.
Part 2. Information about this petition. * (See instructions for fee information.)
Basis for Classification (Check one):
Check 2nd option:
Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer.
I do not think this statement is correct "Since you applied for H1 extension it means that you are out of parolee status and on H1 again."
As long as H1B is the underlying petition for your GC application H1 extension does not negate your AP status. You have dual travel papers.
Caution - Please talk to lawyer as there is some stuff around abandoning your petition is you go out of country before approval...
I have had a valid H1 and AP for a while now and travelled on AP without issues.
Hope it helped.

Hi- When I started off with the green card process, I had not idea about what most of the things meant. I joined a very reputable Fortune 500 company in 2006 (the same year I came to the US on a H1B), and started my GC process in 2007. The company offered me an pre-approved labor with a 2006 PD, which had a matching requirement w.r.t job description and salary.
During July 2007, i filed for my I-140 and I-485. Subsequently, my I-140 got approved without any issues. Now, given that my priority date is close to being current (2/14/2006), I'm afraid if using a pre-approved labor will have any role to play with my I-485 approval.
And no, I'm not working for a consultant. And I have been with the same employer since 2006.
Please don't start off with the jumping the queue argument. When I used the labor substitution, it was perfectly legal, and didn't even know what a priority date is :-)
Thanks.

Hi guys
There is lot of misunderstanding. As i mentioned my H1 extension was denied on 31st march
Then i worked out with a lawyer for my options. She said i can get H1 transfer. I filed H1 transfer premium processing on april 6th with new employer(american company).It was approved on 13th and we received it on april 16th.

To make you more clear:
The owner of company B was also a partner of company A. He had some problems with his another partner for which he created another company. I did not know anything about it as I always had contact with the owner of company B before coming to the USA. I only came to know when I entered into my first project. I am not sure whether he has generated any fake paystub from company A to transfer my H1B. If it is so, then why my H1B with company B is still pending ? I cannot also ask him as my relation is very bad with him now a days. I am not sure whether he has received or replied any RFE as the online receipt number doesn't indicate anything.
Any more comments ?
Thanks

Hi Bhayzone,
Allow me to help you a bit here...
First of all, there is no such thing as a H-1B transfer. When you change jobs, the new employer files a "new petition" with the USCIS requesting that:
1) The new application should not be counted against the yearly H-1B cap.
2) Your current H-1B status be "extended" in the US
3) Your wife's H4 status be "extended" in the US
Only your wife's H4 status is dependent on your H-1B status. If your wife changes her status to F1, then your H-1B status has no bearing at all on her F1. You could even go back to your home country and stay there while your wife completes her education on F1 :)
I think the answer to your first two questions is in the above discussion. As for the third, I would personally wait to have the H-1B and H4 extensions approved, before applying for change from H4 to F1.
All this is doable because you can:
1) Use premium processing (2 weeks) for your new H1 and wife's extended H4 (at the same time). Note that you are legally allowed to pay the premium processing fee of $1000.
2) School doesn't start until the begining of July, which gives your wife enough time to change her status from H4 to F1.
Just so you know, your wife can attend school on H4 also. It helps to know this if the F1 doesn't go through. But, IMHO, it is better to be on F1 than H4 on any given day!
Good luck!

Hi,
My wife is on an H4 and we're planning to change her status to F1.
Now my H1, thus her H4 is up for renewal soon (I have another 3 yrs on my H1).
I will very soon be transferring my H1 to a new company.
I am worried about the implications this might have on the H4 to F1 transfer.
1] When my new company transfers the H1, will they also file for renewal? Or will they only transfer and later renew seperately.
2] Assuming that we change the current H4 to F1, then will we have to renew the F1 too when my wife's H4 is transferred (due to my H1 transfer).
3] Is it better to transfer to F1 from the current H4 , or wait for the new H4 for the transfer.
All advice/suggestion would be really appreciated.

I am also from NJ-I have to get FP from HAckensack-NJ thats my nearest .
When we called USCIS she said its delay because of traffic in ASC in our location.So they have to correspond with them,when ever they get a reminder in their system.
So as of now they havnt mailed...waiting for FP.
I hope the process does not delay further beacuse of this FP...I wish they do fast.
I just wonder NJ is a populated area and they have only two ASC...one in newark and another in Hackensack.I hope it doesnt take months for this FP.
Does name check start after FP?
My ND is Sep/11.

I am glad, member's comments helped you. All said and done. What is the right thing to do now? Expose "this company" as you call them..
Why don't you post the name of company as you already posted the state and city they operate from, and name of the person with whom you have been going back and forth as you said in your post? That will help everybody including the authorities to take them to task if they are doing anything illegal..
I do understand your good intentions but I strongly feel that this should be taken offline off the forum for the sake of everyone and please do not prolong this, hope you get the point...thanks..
