Immigration USA, F1 Visa to H1B?
I'm a Chinese citizen who re-entered the USA in Jan 2006 to finish my PHD. I married my fiance (US Citizen) in the United States in September 2007 and will finish my PHD in December 2007. My intention is to work in a post doc research position. I need advice on the type of visa I should be applying for and any restrictions I should be aware of.
My parents are old, and I need to travel back and forth to China to visit with them. Which visa would be suitable to allow for me to apply for green card, work and still be able to leave the country and return?
Thank you

If you have married a US citizen you don't need to apply for any visa. You should apply for temporary legal status, known as a green card. Then apply for citizenship through your wife. Welcome to America, the greatest country in the world.

Your wife can petition you for your green card. Apply I-130 Petition for Alien Relative, I-485 Register to Permanent Residency or Adjustment of Status, I-131 Advanced Parole (Travel Document), I-765 Employment Authorization Document. It will take about 6 months to 1 year to get 2 year Conditional Green Card. Meantime, with I-131 approval you can freely travel back and forth and with I-765 approval you can work. Good luck.
