(ZT)Ph.D.時候上綠卡的心得

Ph.D.時候上綠卡的心得 我身邊有一些朋友讀書期間就把綠卡遞了。我也算是把大家的經驗匯總一下吧。 先說我在TSC，屬於比較好混NIW的。另外就是paper和推薦信了。 paper不用很多，千萬別為某些律師嚇到，他們有些就喜歡挑不用費心的案子. 要是first-author paper,citation一大把，還用把幾千塊錢給他們？ 軟件中最主要是推薦信了。發動一切可以找到的關係，親戚朋友，同學的老板，老板的朋 友，幫你寫推薦信。研究領域不相近沒關係，反正我估計移民官也看不懂。主要是關係要 鐵，能使勁吹就行。 我開始考慮辦綠卡的時候，心理也是沒譜，總覺的自己條件差，結果師兄說，這東西需要 運氣，趕上發大水，一把就衝到這裏了。感上風聲緊，你的條件再好，也過不了。hehe! 希望給讀Ph.D，又等綠卡考board的朋友們一點鼓勵。 normally in TSC, for NIW, 1 month. I got a RFE after one month I submit the first-round package. After I submit the RFE package for another month, I get approved. I would like to say, a couple of month will be enough if you directly file to TSC. But now they switch to NSC.So I have no idea how things would be changed. I hope I will get my Ph.D. next year. It is too early for me to apply OPT right now. So I just use F-1 visa to apply GC. My F-1 visa expiration date is in 2009. I shouldn't be worry about the issue of F-1 extension, etc.You may also apply H-1 during F-1 and get rid of OPT. It is a relatively safe game for my point of view.
