F1, H1B, H4, L1, AP, EAD, AC21, RFE, MTR the alpha-numeric soup has in many ways come to define the life of many skilled immigrants in the United States. Many of us have come to live with the uncertainty and vagaries of the USCIS and the Dept. of State just like the farmers in parts of the world on the monsoon. When it rains it pours, else its a decade of drought.
We are like many others who are waiting in line for the green card, severely retrogressed and pondering our options. Many of us want to start our businesses, change jobs either voluntarily or more likely in this economy involuntarily. There are options available to folks under the American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act of 2000 (AC21) (Public Law 106-313),(popularly known as AC21). However as with most laws and probably everything in life there are gray areas, loopholes and gotchas. Especially when it comes to immigration not following the law inadvertently can have serious life changing consequences for the person and her/his family. Hence this resource to help others and learn from you how you are being affected or have been affected, your stories, your issues, your run-ins with the USCIS.
