(只有我一个人主申请人,没有任何其他申请人) : : 律师评估说在F1-STEM-OPT情况下,不建议选择I485,因为如果走了485虽然可以申请Combo : : Card,但一旦使用Combo去工作(EAD)或是旅行(AP),随即注销F1-STEM-OPT,虽然combo在 : : i485 pending有效,但万一denial,随即没有任何合法签证,马上得中止工作及出境. : : Combo card: : : (之前还是新手的时候不太懂这些术语,所以我附上简单介绍给後人快速解说) : : Issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the so-called : : "combo card" combines an Employment Authorization Document (also known as a : : work permit or EAD) with Advance Parole permission (allowing you to travel : : and return to the U.S. without abandoning your green card : : application-in-progress.) : : 律师的建议虽然说: : : If you decide to apply for your green card through IV processing, you can : : stay in the U.S. during the process and would only have to travel to Taiwan : : to have medical exam and attend interview after your interview is scheduled. : : If your IVP application is placed in administrative processing, you could : : return to the US with a valid nonimmigrant visa during the administrative : : processing but you would have to return later for your IV stamping if your IV : : application is approved. This travel can be time-consuming and expensive. For : : additional information, please carefully review "15_Adjustment of Status : : I-485 v. Immigrant Visa Processing" provided under the Visa FAQ tab on your : : account. : : IVP看起来是虽然我必须回台湾完成相关手续(我本人很愿意藉此机会回台探亲,公司虽然 : : 不愿意但应该可以允许我远端工作),但我的理解是我依然可以用F1-STEM-OPT在美国继续 : : 工作且出入境,不知道IVP还有甚麽风险跟缺点我还没考虑到? : : 另外律师提到IVP的优点是驻外大使馆比较有经验处理这些事情,等待时间短於I485. : : 但目前看来I485跟IVP各有优缺点,不知道能不能有请大家给一些意见/关键字或是哪些我 : : 还没注意到的,我该好好思考? (目前应该是速度及风险的取舍下...) : : I485跟IVP速度来说,请问有推荐的论坛或工具可以让我查哪一个比较快吗? : : 先谢谢大家了! 如果我有甚麽理解错误 还请大家直接指正 感谢! --
