No I havent got my GC yet.

Are you not allowed to vote for yourself?

EDIT: Oh, right, I forgot about your plan to wait and see which one of yours you should vote for.

Check with the new company whether they can give an Employment verification letter which matches the roles mentioned in ur labor?
Designation and pay doesnt matter.

What matters is a permanenet job offer letter and duties should match the
labor.

If someone completes their residency in US and gets a license to practice medicine, will this MD degree be valid in Canada and Australia?
My wife is doing her residency and due to this retrogression we want to have a plan B, and for plan B we want to know if it is worth moving to Canada or Australia after she completes her Residency? While I am in IT, I think the job scene is almost same everywhere which is based on experience.

I am sure a lot of IV members are physicians and would be looking into these options also. Please share your thoughts.

hi, can the spouse travel outside after applying for I-485 but before getting the AP? Suppose during her stay abroad if the primary applicant's GC is approved? Her H4 will not be valid in that case. but can she use the visa waiver to gain entry back into the country? Will the receipt of I-485 help in anyway? thanx.

agreed, I just mean that publicly we whould not be asking explicitly to increase visa numbers.
It depends on who our audience is:
In interviews with newspapers for example, going into specifics like increasing visa numbers puts off the avg American, bec all he reads is increasing immigration.
But in speaking with a knowledgeable audience, like of course when approaching politicians, this can and should be done.

Excellent Strategy

Lets do it for us!

Please post on this thread if you can print letter templates, bring in envelopes/stamps, bring in family/friends to the venue or help out in any other way. Thanks

My lawyer filed the I-485, EAD and AP package for me and my wife. She put a G-28 notice for each application (with our and her signatures). She missed signing the AP G-28 for my wife. I asked her about this. She said it should be fine. They would not consider her notice of representation for this particular case, and would mail the AP approval directly at our home address.
I hope we are fine and our application doesn't get rejected since we had one check for all the applications.
Please reply. Thanks a lot.

Does one have to stick to old employer for 180 days after I-140 is approved before person can start with new employer and port priority date from previous job ?

There is an option in US Greencard called “Commuter Permanent Resident Card”. Refer the link below for more details
http://www.lanepowell.com/pressroom/pubs/pdfold/bc_2002_0005.pdf

This GC allows you to live in Canada/Mexico and commute to United States for work. Though you are loosing the year count towards US Citizenship with this GC, I think it’s a better option for anyone who wants to apply for citizenship in both countries.

(ie) Convert the regular Permanent resident card to “Commuter Permanent Resident Card” (Form I-90) -> Live in canada and commute to work in US for the next 3 years (Windsor-Detroit) -> get the canadian citizenship after 3 years -> convert the “Commuter Permanent Resident Card” to regular Permanent resident card (Form I-90) and settle down in US -> Get the US citizenship after 5 years.

The advantage with this approach is that you earn in US dollars though you live in Canada during the first 3 years.

Thanks for the suggestions

We do request that people dress smartly, however tomorrow's forecast is in the 80s with about 50% humidity, and we have a 3 hour march.

We hope that people come dressed for comfort too :)

I-94 also does not have the date written

In that case, here is the relevant Q&A in the www.cbp.gov website. Hope it helps:

Q: How do I correct an Arrival-Departure Record reflecting an incorrect admission classification, biographical information or period of admission?

A: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will review and issue the necessary documents to remedy errors recorded on the Arrival-Departure Record at the time of entry to the United States relating to improper non-immigrant classification, inaccurate biographical information or incorrect period of admission, if appropriate.
Any designated deferred inspection location or CBP office located within an international airport should be able to assist you, regardless of where the actual document was issued. In many instances, the location of your final destination where the discrepancy will be resolved may not be the port of your first arrival into the United States. Travelers are encouraged to contact sites not located within an international airport to establish an appointment, if necessary. Mail-in procedures are not available.

Currently, there is not an approved form to request the correction of inaccurate information recorded on the CBP Form I-94 or I-95 at the time of entry into the United States. You will need to bring the questionable CBP Form I-94 or I-95 and documentation to support the claim that the form was not properly annotated. For example, present a passport and visa to justify an incorrect visa classification or an approved petition to support an incorrect admission period. A fee will not be assessed.

The CBP offices within the international airports and deferred inspection locations are only authorized to correct errors that occurred at the time of arrival. Requests to replace the CBP Form I-94 or I-95 that has been lost, stolen or mutilated must be filed with USCIS.

Authorized stays that were limited at the port of first arrival by supervisory authorization as noted on the reverse side of the CBP Form I-94 will not be corrected. Under these circumstances, you will be required to file an Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status, Form I-539, with USCIS.

Select Service on a exisiting request, then last option, i cant remember what was it...

Hmm interesting - I can smell CIR coffee brewing.

EB folks - brace for a bumpy ride

Secretaries are from the Executive Branch and are responsible for the execution of the laws and are not directly responsible for the creation of the laws. So we could expect Memos that are more favorable to us but I wouldn't hold my breath over CIR yet.

I just decided to wait and see . hopefully it will get cleared in next 2-3 months

Hi,

While in the process of filing for labor certification my company has found 2 suitable citizens who are eligible for the job.

Now what are my options going forward and how does this affect my chances of a successful PERM filing ??

I'm filing in EB3 category right now. Also I need to file for labor before oct since my H1 will expire its original 6 year length next Oct (Oct 2010).

Hi Folks,

My fiancee is a MS student and currently has student loan in India being charged at 13.5%. I am wondering if there is any loan that i can get here with a lower interest rate to repay off the one in india.
I would appreciate any pointers or suggestions here.

Can anyone say when i am going to get my GC if i filed my application for I-485 in EB1 category in oct 2007


Maybe by the end of this year. Good luck man

I agree with Anders - I want my phone and my camera to be separate. Picking up my phone to take a pic makes about as much sense to me as picking up my camera to call someone.

Follow directions in your interview letter with list of things to take. Have all the originals and photocopies. If your case is straight forward , I dont think you need an attorney or else if you think you need an attorney find a local person in your area who can accompany you.

I had an interview last Feb 2009, my case was pre-adjucated. My PD is 2005.

Did you get the interview letter after preadjudication or was it a part of pre adjudication process?
