I am currently on H1 Visa in the US. Am I allowed to go to school part-time and get my MBA degree ?
And also, I am looking at a big amount of money that I gotta pay for tuition, does anyone know any tax credits that we can use to reduce the burden ?
Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.

To all IV members and the core team:
Thanks a bunch for mobilizing members to get their voices heard - first at the historic San Jose rally of high-skilled legal immigrants, and now with this monumental effort in DC on September 18th.
Thanks to all your efforts (myself included), we were able to file for Adjustment of Status (AOS), EAD and AP in July, and had the extension till August 17th to file it for those of us who couldn't do it sooner.
Thanks also to the lawmaker(s), and others who voiced their opinions and drew attention to the plight of highly educated, skilled, tax-paying, brilliant, and entrepreneurial folks, waiting for their GCs for as long as a decade.
We finally received our EADs yesterday, and our APs have been approved (awaiting notices).
The road from here to finally becoming permanent residents and perhaps eventually citizens of this great country (for those of us who wish to) is a long, winding one, full of tricky situations, significant risks, and the inevitable delays by the agencies concerned.
We all need to collectively make our voices heard, tell the lawmakers, the media, and the world about our lives that we continue living in limbo, and will be forced to do so for a long long time if we don't act.
I WILL ENTHUSIASTICALLY JOIN THE DC RALLY NEXT WEEK.

MSNBC had a news piece on surprise illegal immigrants and looks like they are from India. I was surprised at a shocking 125,000 people have over stayed their visas and have become Illegal. I was worried if such news articles will reflect on our integrity and our image as knowledge workers.
Just a thought....

My wife is in the same boat. We filed for H1 amendment in the first week of September and online status tells it's done on 20 November. We still have not received documents in mail from USCIS. This was in Vermont. We were told initially that it might take upto 3 months.

This is key. We've been hearing that the White House was still up in the air between the energy bill and immigration and that one of the two would likely be pushed back until after the election. Now it looks like the White House thinks it can walk and chew gum (presumably after the President's approval ratings are slipping as people sense the White House is not actually keeping any of its promises).

It is a good idea to contact the international student office in your university. But I have seen people using up their OPT without being employed.

Since there is a mad rush of i485 applications , USCIS is going to do lottery to select applications for approval.Rest of them will be rejected.
So I bet they will not select YOURS and yours will get rejected!!!!:cool:

Every employer does not do it. My employer does not do that.
Keeping H1 also has some advantages.
... If I485 is rejected
... Freedom to travel, heard that AP is just for emergency travel (at least intent)

Here is s tricky situation :
8th Year H1 extension applied by current company. Still in process, should be approved in Nov 2006.
Can I transfer to a new company using this H1 ?
There is nothing tricky, it is plain and simple: you want to switch jobs?
You have to apply for a new H1. You absolutely cannot use your current H1 to work any other job.

The only answer to your question is:"it depends". Who are your state's Senators and how interested/influential are they in immigration issues? Same question for whoever is the Congressperson for your district. I don't think any there is any harm in contacting both Senators as well as the Congressperson for your district.

H-1B Visa Employer that Does Not Effect a �bona fide termination� under the H-1B provisions Liable for back wages to H-1B Employee.
To employ H-1B visa nonimmigrants, an employer must fill out a Labor Condition Application (LCA). The LCA stipulates the wage levels that an employer guarantees for the H-1B visa worker�s pay. In signing and filing an LCA, an employer attests that for the entire �period of authorized employment,� the required wage rate will be paid to the H-1B nonimmigrant.
An employer need not compensate a nonimmigrant, however, if it has effected a �bona fide termination� of the employment relationship. To ultimately effectuate a �bona fide termination� under the INA, an employer must notify USCIS that it has terminated the employment relationship with the H-1B nonimmigrant employee so that USCIS may revoke approval of the H-1B petition. The employer must also provide the employee with payment for transportation home. Failure to do so may subject the employer to liability for back wages to the H-1B employee.
In Amtel Group of Florida v. Yongmahapakorn, Amtel provided notice to the H-1B visa employee that it had terminated the employment relationship. Amtel Group of Florida v. Yongmahapakorn, 04-087 (ARB 9/29/06). However, the court held that notice alone was not sufficient to end the employer�s obligation to pay the required wages to an H-1B employee. The employer does not effect a �bona fide termination� and, therefore, end its obligation to pay the required wages to the H-1B employee unless the employer has also notified USCIS. The court therefore ordered Amtel to pay the employee the prevailing wage for an internal auditor until the expiration of her authorized period of stay for H-1B employment, plus prejudgment compound interest on the back pay owed and post judgment interest until the employer made full payment.

Check with your attorney first about your paper and make sure that it is still not sitting on his table in the pile of papers.
