Irrespective of the time taken to approve the I-130, it will still take 16 years for his Priority date to turn up, given the present rules. So you need not do anything extra. -

Husband and Wife on H1B living in different states
pontevecchio replied to CharlieTango12's topic in H1B : Visa Stamp
Since you are both in H1 status, the different areas of stay will have no bearing on her ability to get an H1 visa. -
Based on his approved I-140 with any employer, he is eligible for 3-year H1 extensions beyond the initial total of 6.

Approved PERM gives you no extensions of H1. You can work forever from India for anybody subject to tax issues. -
(H4) I-94 Expired but Valid H1B (I-797A) Visa.
pontevecchio replied to Bala G's topic in Non-Immigrant Issues
The H4 visa is NOT employer-dependent. They should have shown your latest H1 approval on entry. You should run this by a Lawyer ASAP. Your family is out of status and in unlawful status. Keep the 6 month limit in mind and get a lawyer involved. -
The theory is that you can apply again if your circumstances change, for example, if you are attending a conference. I would wait for a few months before trying again. You may end up getting a sympathetic Officer who may decide to help you out.

pontevecchio replied to vbsathya's topic in Family & Employment-Based Green Card : General
India (state.gov) "For persons born prior to April 1, 1970, birth certificates are considered unavailable."

Does Murthy Law firm also help with family issues, like husband leaving wife and came to USA?
pontevecchio replied to Sneha29's topic in Non-Immigrant Issues
The firm deals with Immigration matters. Your situation would seem to need a Family Lawyer in your country. -
If you owe taxes, you need to pay them and have proof of payment. If you have no taxes due, there is no problem.

F-2 visa intended length of stay, non-immigrant intent
pontevecchio replied to F1visaAP's topic in Non-Immigrant Issues
You do not demonstrate home ties. The VO decides based on the situation. Since you are already here and especially if your university has pedigree, I doubt this will be an issue. Only one way to find out. No need to tailor answers. She should answer based on her intentions and not what she thinks the VO wants to hear. Credibility is King or Queen in this instance. Let us know the result. -
Can I file for Unemployment benefits while on green card?
pontevecchio replied to goutham31's topic in Family & Employment-Based Green Card : General
"you may be entitled to unemployment benefits even if you're getting severance. But the specific rules around that vary from state to state." Illinois Unemployment Insurance Law Handbook "You are allowed to get both severance pay and unemployment. Illinois considers severance pay as money you receive for work you did during the time you were employed. Since your severance pay is not considered income, it will not usually affect your unemployment benefits." -
Good for you. I would suggest getting a consult with a lawyer who is familiar with the matter. Maybe the firm of Murthy. Schedule A used to apply for nurses and maybe it still does give you some options for the GC.
