My friend's PERM got approved in 5 days in Dec '09. His I-140 got approved in 3 weeks in March '10. This could be an exceptional case as I have not seen any other such approvals..

If he is ROW EB2 he will get his greencard soon. I485 processing times are reduced to 4 months average per USCIS Director.

^ Agreed. Possible to put them all on page somewhere for viewing? Can anyone host that for a week or so?

A couple of years back, my wife, who was on OPT back then moved from OH to TN. All she had to do was to give the written test in TN to get the TN license.

Also, from my past experiences, I can suggest you to try again by going to a different DMA. Speak to the manager, if possible and reason with him/her. Good luck!

Actually, I took all my documents and initially I was issued Maryland driver's license then he saw this note and called his supervisor and his supervisor cancelled Maryland Driver's license and gave me back Ohio driver's license. May be its matter of whether someone looks your ohio driver's license carefully or not. but bottomline now, I am not able to get Maryland driver's license.

Should I goto different DMA? is it illegal if someone gave me Maryland license even though there is "non renewable/non transferable" written?

Here is a good article on the subject with references to the US law and caselaw:
http://www.americanlaw.com/maintlpr.html

"The second requirement in INA �101(a)(27)(A) is that the absence abroad be temporary. According to Gamero v. INS, 367 F.2d 123, 126 (9th Cir., 1966), the term "temporary'' varies in application, depending upon the facts and circumstances of each particular case. According to Matter of Huang, 19 I. & N. Dec. 749, 7 Immig. Rptr. B1-17 (BIA 1988), temporariness is not defined in terms of elapsed time alone; the intention of the alien, when it can be ascertained, will control."

Dude,

I am planning to travel on AP first time. Can you pls reply:-

1. What all documents are required apart from AP to re-enter US?
2. Do you get I-94 if you enter with AP and if yes How long that I-94 is valid for? I am bit confused as my AP is going to expire in Jan 2008, so the USCIS should not give me i-94 till Jan only? If yes, then what after that?

If you can, pls reply..

Thanks

Passport and AP is all they asked me for both times I traveled. The first time I had both originals of my AP. However- I also had my 485 receipt, EAD, my H1B extension I-797, employment letter, paystubs- you name it in case. No one asked me a thing- but I was being cautious.

If you use AP- the I-94 expires 1 year from the date you enter. However- this is only the date they put on the I-94. It does not mean you are illegal after that. As long as you are an AOS applicant, your status is valid.

I am sure there is a Murthy article on this.

It is advisable not to move until you get fingerprinting notice.

The reason is that you can't update your address before you get receipt notice and FP notice comes very shortly after you get receipt notice. You may or may not get your address updated in time to get FP notice at your new address. Given the workload at the USCIS at this time, try to make things as simple as you can.

Thanks WeShallOvercome.
What about address change after FP Notice? How do we communicate this to USCIS. I know there is a generic address change form which you need in any case you move more than 10 miles from your place. Do we need to use the same form or is there any difference process?

My H1 sponsor informed me that the check he submitted along with my application on Wednesday 5/7 - Non-masters non-premium processing:)

Even my friend's application check seems to have been deposited by USCIS, does that mean that the case is selected in the lottery? (Or is there any other scenario?).

Thanks in advance to anyone who can throw some light on this.

Update:

I just verified that there is a receipt number on the back of the check, so that's the EAC/WAC number!

same rules apply to medical center. If you donot have MMR how can they give one shot and then give the medical report when another dose is pending next month.

Does that mean those who get MMR shot at medical center have one more pending ...but got their report in advance????

The I-140 processing date for EB2 Nebraska is June 2007. I have a friend with receipt dt on July 30, 2007 in EB2 whose I-140 was approved today. My I-140
was received on July 2 , 2007 and is not approved yet.

May be this will help you:

1. At POE there is a possibility they might give you the I-94 till December'09 only as that is when your PP expires. If this happens you will have to worry about filling for your H1 extension in November v/s in June, 2010 to get an updated I-94.

2. To best of my knowledge if you have a valid visa stamp on your passport then the Indian PP office needs to return the renewed PP in 24-48 hours.. My dad had something like this a while back, not sure if they changed the rules. Have someone from your family in India inquire about it.

In short get your PP renewed either before you leave or in India, don't wait to come back on an expiring PP.


I'm planning to travel to India next month. My passport expires in December 09 and my H1b stamp on the passport expires in July of 2010. Will there be any problem at the POE because of the short valid months left in the passport and H1B visa.

Thanks,

Please vote this poll. I am ready to any kind of support. We have to do something for EB3.

I'm not sure that the comment "once you use EAD, you cannot go back to H1B" is correct. True, once you use EAD, you don't have an H1 status, but I understood you could always go back to the H1 status (with a new filing/transfer). Any one has more info/reference?

My lawyer received our AP's yesterday. They sent me a photocopy. Even though the TSC IO said that my application was approved on 10/17/2007, the travel document has a date of 10/11/2007. Good luck to you.


I haven't received them yet.

Thank you.

It takes some time for VFS to receive passport from embassy. Sometimes 3/4 days.
But didn't you ask her if you were granted visa or not? If they retained your passport thats tell that visa is issued. Also keep tracking via SMS, that seems to be more accurate. Keep us posted here. Good luck.

i had interview at mumbai consulate on friday morning 9.30.

EVERYONE please take time to read and reply...


the officer was very rude... i said good morning upon entering and she did not reply.... then she said she is getting strange people since morning and no one is following her instructions....
she asked me the name of company, my job title etc..i replied ...
and then she asked me for my old passport and wrote CWOP on expired visa.....
she asked my wife if she has old passport and i said no and there it started..."SHE got angry and said did i asked you? let her speak... " "women can speak for herself etc..." she did utter some few words slowly so i said "excuse me" and that's it..she told me people like me should not be in usa..etc...etc........."


here is the deal...she did not gave me any slip or anything and said we can go now.....

WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

expert any advise?
i tracked the passport on VFS site on Saturday morning and VFS says they have not received passport from the embassy. is this normal? should i wait till monday evening before jump on any conclusion?

Hello,
I came here as F1 visa but I'm out of stutus now. Here is some background:
I came here in september 2006 as F1 visa. I took 2 english quaters at the university then tranfer to another school in april 2007 ( Let calls them MSU). MSU gave me I 20 and it expried on March 2010. But due to financial problem, I did not register class at MSU after april 2007 so I was out of status. After that, I started register class at MSU in september 2008 and stoped in april 2009. I did not register any class after april 2009. I talked to my advicesor and she said, since I have been in school on and off so no matter that i went back to school some, I still out of stutus.

I have been my boyfriend for almost 3 years now and we want to get married ( He is an US citizen). I really dont know if i will get trouble because of my stutus or where to start? like what files do we have to fill, etc....
Any advice would be appreciate! Thank you so much for your time!

Both desi3933 and deechi are right.
on the side: You intend doing a course in English (may be to do a job). Your english tells all you care for english. You sure need to improve your english... even in an informal set up

I called AAA. They said its free for Premium members only. I'm Plus member and price is $25 for 6 photos.

Yep, thats what I paid ;) And while its true that we are spending a lot of money on our GC process, saving a few dollars here or there always helps.

I hope the members who are indifferent towards saving money on photographs are actively contributing to the IV cause.:p

I voted for mlkedave... It seemed to be the most realistic version of what would actually exist.

go to forum. Click on my name in the user currently online. My profile will come up.

Then click on 'Find all posts by factoryman'., or something like that. The tile of the post is 'Final Word on Adult Vaccination'
Only one MMR is recommended by CDC and these recom. are current till Sep 2007.

Ok I found the link of yesterday. (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=86250&postcount=133)

Center for Disease Control (CDC) USA – Oct 2006 to Sep 2007
Recommended adult immunization schedule
Vaccine – Age Group – Dose(s)
TDAP- (all ages) – 1 dose Td booster every 10 years
MMR – (19-49) – 1 OR 2 doses
MMR – (50-64) – 1 dose
Varicella - (19-49) – 1 OR 2 doses
Varicella – (50-64) – 1 dose

Straight from Horse's Mouth (http://www.idph.state.il.us/about/2007adult-schedule.pdf)(the CDC link is not working):


same rules apply to medical center. If you donot have MMR how can they give one shot and then give the medical report when another dose is pending next month.

Does that mean those who get MMR shot at medical center have one more pending ...but got their report in advance????

Does anybody know how to change the title of thread? Since I cann't change options in poll, i would like to change the title to say that this poll is only till 2004.

thanks willwin for opening a new poll for remaining years.

Usually lawyers refrain from setting these king of dates....I am talking abt resonablely fair ones.

I feel its ur stupid act to know what other people think...You should have asked instead of "Lawyer Says...".

Noone can say when ur perticular case will be adjudicated, and I mean Noone.
