Hi All,
Recently I received an RFE on my Wife's 485 application asking to prove that we both are still married. My lawyer is asking for around $400 to respond to this RFE, We have already paid the lawyer about $7500 until now for our GC process and she is no longer the preferred lawyer for the company that I am working for, but I had to keep my case with her as she has processed all of my applications until now. My questions are:
1. Can we ourselves respond to the RFE and save the $400.00,
2. If so, What's the process and what documents that we need to send to prove that we are still married.

Appreciate all of your help in this regard.

Thanks

Other than the copy of your marriage certificate, pictures, children's birth certificate, etc., you can send an affidavit signed by a notary public, perhaps someone who works at the local municipality/city hall, etc. In addition, you should submit proof of joint financial holdings such as copy of this year's 1040 and state tax forms filled as "married filing jointly" (if you did so), a joint bank account, joint property ownership such as house and car, joint car insurance, home insurance, other bills (to show both of you are living at the same address), etc.

However, I would recommend using a lawyer (if not your lawyer whom you seem not to like) for preparing the RFE; I guess you do not want to suffer setbacks in your GC processing merely for saving $400!

I have still 7 months left over on my 6 year term and they have asked for 3 year extension based on the approved I-140.I'm talking to my company right now and will talk to the lawyer once they receive the denial reason which they should get in 2 -3 days.But my company is ready to appeal.Keeping all this in view if they file for an appeal for what ever reason and based on my visa expirt date which is on 31'Mar 2009 how long will I get to stay and work legally to hear the answer for the appeal??

H1B extension can be aplied only 180 days before expiry of current H1B

Thanks for your prompt reply.Is this the format you are talking about?

AFFIDAVIT REGARDING BIRTH

I __________________ (name) being the _________________ (relationship father, mother, sister, brother, aunt, uncle), to ______________ (FN name), reside at ___________________ (address, including country), do hereby solemnly affirm and state on oath as follows:

Yes pretty much looks OK but I wont be comfortable if this is format your parents will use. For close relative this format is fine.

For parents I am not comfortable with the statement "and that________father’s name) is his/her father and _____________ (mother’s name) is his/her mother."

So just dig a little and there were members who have posted the sample for parents and close relative.

Thanks all who replied to my thread. I am contacting Air France regarding this transit crap. I will post my experience on this forum, when I get answer from Airline.

One thing is for sure, I will never again travel by Air france, BA and Lufthansa.

Dear friend I would recommend you to contact the consulate by email, because all rules are always subject to change, that way you can be sure!

Hi,

My parents got 10 year multiple entry US visa 2 years back. My brother who was residing here had sent the required documents and applied the visitor visa. My parents had visited me then for 3 months. Now I am planning to get my parents to US. But my brother no longer lives in USA. Is my parent�s visitor visa still valid since my brother is not residing here or should I re apply for my parents visitors visa. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.


Yes,, its valid for ten years..irrespective of the fact that your brother is in US or Not...

just called USCIS and reached level 2 customer support. she still could not find my 485 information. She send a request to NSC to look for my application. and ask me to ask them after 45 days if I still not hear anything from NSC.

Dont worry. You will get it soon. .Same thing happened to me. Applied I-485 on July 2nd, EAD/AP in 2nd week of August. Got receipts for EAD/AP from NEC on Aug 29, checks cleared today for I-485 from TSC.

So Dont worry.. You should get it.

I thought it would be considered fraudulent. I don't know why they didn't wait until the L1 application was approved first before coming over - it was only a week later? It makes no sense.

Thanks for your input.

Even if your employer revokes (unlikely as he will have to bear legal expenses on an issue that he cannot win) your 140, it will have no effect. All you have to do is be ready with your new offer letter and maintain the labor wages in your new employment. In previous years desi companies used to reuse the labor by revoking the 140 once an employee quits. Now labor reuse also has been plugged by USCIS. You can peacefully go ahead and change your employment.

Any reason that you want to go back to your old employer? Why quit in the first place than...

I'm planning to go from consulting to Perm. If I don't like it I want to go back to Consulting. Would like to go back to the same employer as anyways my GC process is pending with him. Just trying to find out if I can keep that option open.

Will there be any issues if I use EAD to switch jobs and then decide to go back to the old employer?

Right now I've my H1 valid for 2 more yrs. If I use EAD to switch jobs my H1 will become invalid. Then if I decide to go back to my old employer what happens?Please advice me on this.

Thank you.

Sorry, for this dump question, but is Fp done very year until you get your gc ?

Inform the school that you have changed your status to H1 from F1 and need not take class. If needed provide them the H1 approval. Most people forget to inform school and the school will record sevis violation on you which will provide problems at stamping and port of entry.
This is based on my friends experience.

Clause 2 is the correct one, I suppose

2) Beginning of the next fiscal yr, if you are on EAD status, then you are off the hook

We are about 4 people in Austin we need some direction so that we can be of some help.

No where in the news piece it's mentioned that he is on Indian origin. Your headline says - Indian Origin doc.................

Really dude...LOL. Grow up

Put ur head together and tell me is it too difficult to tell where he is from?

As many of you have experienced, the pace of things here in general is slower than that of our home countries. Working in the project management, I often realize how hard it is to make the other party move faster when it is not involving the interest of the other side.

That is what makes me feel skeptical how much they would move, when we demand faster processing of our green card. Probably, the voice of our employer will be more effective. But is our employer losing anything from this slow process?

Even if our demand for more visa numbers is met and the retrogression problem is resolved, there is a big trap ahead waiting for us. Nobody really knows how much time it will take in the 3rd stage after all of us jump in and process our 485. It will be disastrous if it will be the same thing all over again.

It will do no good finger pointing for the lost time of ours in the past years. It does only good when we unite our voice and demand specific things to make up for the past.

Why is the green card so valuable to you? For me, it is the freedom of chaning jobs without making the new employer feel embarrassed.

If only they can allow us to submit I-485 regardless even though they can not process it until Visa number becomes current and if only they can remove the restrictions on AC-21 portability, these will save so many lives from being trapped.

These two legal changes which may be easier for the Congress, will actually make up for the lost time in our life waiting in line.

Maybe, it is time to be practical, realistic, and specific. Maybe, it is time to get smarter.

Asian,

Not sure what you are getting at here.

The managers amendment of S. 2611 does have the provision of filing I-485 even when visa numbers are not available. This provision exists precisely because IV asked for it.

waiting ...

Even PERM is Baclogged.......per my lawyer Atlanta is taking 6 months.....Amazing

that is not a backlog in the sense of retrogression based backlog. That is like any other processing time for any other type of application

IMHO, it's a fine composition of an interesting geometric pattern displayed in a subject. :)

EB-3 ROW = EB-3 Rest of World then there's EB-3 Mainland China, EB-3 Mexico, EB-3 India and EB-3 Philippines. Please correct me if I'm wrong. :D

It may be a silly question, can some one tell me what is the difference between EB3-ROW and EB-3?

Hello Number30,

For taxation purposes, you are considered just like US citizen as soon as you spend more than 180 days within US.

You can claim all the standard tax deductions/exemptions that are available to any US citizen like EIC (irrespective of your status - on visa, in AOS, PR or citizen) if you file taxes as a resident.


Yes I thought the same.
I am asking this because i did a tax return for one of my friend. He got EIC. But Questionire is not asking for residency status. But was asking like Were you a U.S. citizen or resident alien for all of year?
That year he was laid off and had very little income So he took the money.

Hope he will not have any trouble.
