We (parents) had applied for family based concurrent AOS in Aug, 2008 while we were on

tourist visas. We are now in India on Advance Parole(valid till Aug. 2009) that we received

after filing AOS.

Today(Feb, 2009) production of green card has been ordered for my wife and will soon be

received in USA. My case is still pending but we expect it processed soon. Thanks for all

the help.

My questions is

(a) What documents we need to show at immigration on returning to USA?. We have I-485

Notice, Advance Parole and valid Passports.

(b) Do we need to request somone in USA to mail our green cards on receipt.?

(c) How much maximum time we still can stay in India.? We wish to stay here for another 1-2

months. In any case making travel arrangements etc. is likely to take atleast 2 weeks.

(d) But is there a time limit for returning?

(e) Can we safely enter 2-3 months after the cards are received in USA, and

(f) sending GC by mail is not objectionable?


Also, in totality, Which one of these scenarios is correct:

1) Do we have to return immediately on approval of green card, enter with advance parole

only and it is not legal to mail green cards?

OR

2) It means if we can get our cards mailed and receive it here, we can safely travel back

with our green cards, even after 2 months of its receipt in USA. Overstay abroad is not an

issue whether it is 2 weeks, 2 months or even more. Am I right?

We would appreciate all the help here, as these are some of the question I have looked over

many sites and forums but could not find answers to. Thanks so much!

I did paper filing (TSC) and got EAD in less then 3 weeks. I filed on 3/7 and got it on 3/26. I think you should get it soon.

Thanks I got the details.

Today i received my EAD card, It says fingerprint not available. I have not yet received FP notice

Has this happened to anybody else, will i have to update EAD card after FP, how does this work

Filed on July 16th, My checks were cashed on 10th Sep

Thanks

how much time it took between the email (card prod ordered)and you receiving the actual card?

Hi,
My PD is 2006 under EB-2 category. My family and I filed for GC on the same day. Now, I am planning to file a new I-140 under EB1. My kid is going to be 18 soon. What is the age limit for dependent to file for GC with the parents?
Your reply is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I am just asking for information...How you are moving to EB1 from EB2. Can you share with us...?

Could anyone please respond to this???

My current reporting structure with my employer is:
Client -> Prime Vendor -> Consultant X -> My employer

Another consultant is ready to transfer my visa and the reporting structure there is

Client -> Prime Vendor -> My employer

A prime vendor (not the same client) is also ready to transfer my visa

Client -> My employer


I am planning to transfer it to either (or both) of the above two companies. Will there be a problem in those two companies filing for a tranfer at (approx) the same time?

Is there a way I can ask an attorney directly (I am willing to pay for that service)

Would going to Canada and re-entering without going for visa stamping count as lawful entry??

Or one has to go and get the visa stamped to qualify as lawful entry??

Also when you go to Canada and come back Without VISA stamping, he gets the same I-94 or different I-94??

Thanks.

You can re-enter from Canada with same I-94 and status as long as trip < 30 days.

Yes, it resets out of status clock.

Recently , a friend of mine who lost his job while on EAD had these questions.

1. He has EAD and H1B both valid till 2010. What should he use to get a jbo, ead ot h1b, what are some of the good reasons to avoid using ead as ar as possible?

2. Is he eligible for unemployment allowance.

If there is any thread where these have been answered please direct me there. Thanks

It's hard to answer your question without more details, such as your current status. Company B can definitely file a new H-1B for you. Your current status will dictate whether you "need" to tell them about the earlier filing. However, having a prior petition filed might not have any negative impact, so you probably don't need to be nervous about telling Co. B.

Out of personal experience of stories from other people I understand that generally most people do not have any problem while going for stamping outside the country. Subject to the fact that I am not an attorney and that you should consult one, here is my no guarantee advice:
Ensure that you have all the paper work and that you do not have any period of illegal stay;
Ensure that you go for stamping long before your visa validity runs out.

Again this is purely based on what I have noticed in my personal experience. Some people do get unlucky but overall it is better to go to a non-indian consulate and especially avoid Madras consulate.

I am on the same boat. My case was transfered to NSC and my receipt number starts with WAC.

I am a July 2nd 2007 filer. When i spoke with an IO few days back, he told me that they will process according to the NSC processing dates even through the receipt # starts with WAC. The IO has also confirmed that even though the case has got two receipt dates (one with CSC RD and another with NSC RD), they will consider the first one (July 2nd) to process the case.

Not Good !!

Hello friends,
Can any one who has used existing labor please comment of my question

I don't have enough time to get my status changed from USA.

Chances of F1 denial is very high, if you apply from Mexico or Canada since it is going to be first F1. If at all you want to apply F1 outside USA, it is advisible to try at home consulate - still you will have to convince the IO that you do not intend to immigrate (which you may not be able to do it as your spouse is already here). Both options, in my opinion, big NO NO

Mark my words.... President Bush will single handedly make sure to pass the bill as it is.....

No one can stop it.

Do you all think it is just a co incidense that all the dates became current just when this bill (which was supposed to be in grave :rolleyes: ) is revived by those who extremely opposed it?

Do you know how many people will stop giving a damn, because they just filed their 485 s?
People like me who are result of bad practice employers are still here, and lucky ones will depart.....

We have been dealt a crucial blow here.

hi attorneys,

i am working in the US on H-1B. i also hv an approved I-140 but not yet applied for I-485.

now i am planning to start my own business and apply for an investor visa under EB-5 category. can i do this?

if i apply under EB-5 does that automatically cancel my current GC applied by my employer?

while the EB-5 GC is in process can i continue to work in the US on H-1B? (i hv not finished my 6 yrs on H-1B)

appreciate ur inputs. thx in advance,

I am getting this error for last two days
"Multiple duplicate SRs already exist for the customer" i tried creating different account also . any thoughts???

Received the RFE today. It was asking for my birth certificate copy & translation. My lawyer says this is very common. For me this is stupid, they already got my birth certificate copy and the translation.
