My opt ends in dec and my employer has applied for the form 9089 before filing the I140. I am going back to school fulltime can i drop school

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Without any problems, the 9089 PERM labor certification process takes approximately 8 months. Generating a receipt for the I-140 takes approximately 3 weeks. Unfortunately for you, receiving a receipt for the I-140 does not keep you in legal nonimmigrant status. Unless you are also able to file for form I-485 adjustment of status, you would be effectively out of status once you drop out of school. You would then be ineligible for change of status to H-1B although you could conceivably have the petition approved and pick it up outside the US. I also note that even if you were able to file for I-485 adjustment of status, that action would place you in a quasi legal status and not legal nonimmigrant status. You would still then be ineligible for change of status to H-1B and again have to pick it up outside the US.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

How can I find out if my common law husband will ever be able to be here legally? He was deported and came back illegaly.

David Troy Cox
Answered by attorney David Troy Cox
Immigration lawyer at CoxEsq, PC
This Immigration and Nationality Act Section 212(a)(9)(A)(ii)(II) basically makes your husband inadmissible for 10 years.  If he is deported a second time (because he gets caught in the US) he is inadmissible for 20 years.  If the crime that made him deportable in the first place was considered an "aggravated felony" under immigration law, your husband is inadmissable forever. If the criminal conviction can be challenged, your husband may be able to reopen his immigration case, but that would be a long shot (and it would be expensive).

If my friend is vising the U.S. as a researcher on a B2 visa, can he visit Tijuana and return to San Diego with his B2 visa without a problem?

David H Nachman
Answered by attorney David H Nachman
Immigration lawyer at NPZ Law Group
We are not really able to opine on whether or not the B2 visa is the proper visa for a researcher? However, the place where you want to be looking online to determine whether or not your friend can reenter is with regard to a process called "automatic revalidation". Automatic revalidation allows an individual who enters the United States in valid nonimmigrant status to travel to contiguous US territories as long as they return in a very short period of time. We trust of this information is helpful to you and your friend.
