I had ask these questions on the attorney calls few months ago and this is what i got from it.

The questions are:
1. Can I file an extension of H1 with pending MTR and with less than year old labor application?
- No, need to have approved I140 in your case.
2. Is it legal to stay in US after May 2011 while MTR is pending and H1 extension is filed before expiry?
- Cannot file H1 extension with that
3. In case, if the MTR is denied, would the illegal/out of status will start from 15th May 2011 or from the date the MTR is denied?

- i think yes.
Please consult a lawyer to get reliable answers/second opinion.
Good luck.

Folks,

The "Time as Resident in a USCIS District" clause in the naturalization process says that "Most people must live in the USCIS District or State in which they are applying for at least 3 months before applying".

If you have gone thru this process could you please tell if this means that
a. the person must have stayed for at least 3 months during any time during of the residency period to be eligible to apply in that district

OR,

b. the person must live in the district for at least 3 months immediately preceding the naturalization application (for example, if applying in July 2010 then must be present in that state/district at least since Apr 2010)

The reason I'm asking is that I know people who live in India after GC and then come return to get citizenship...so wondering how it worked...

As a July 2007 filer, you do have to pay the $305 filing fee. The $80 biometrics fee applies only to applicants for Reentry Permits and Refugee Travel Documents. It is not required for Advance Parole.

Individuals who file for AOS after July 2007 have to pay a $1010 filing fee for the I-485, but are not required to pay filing fees for subsequent AP's and EAD's. The following is an excerpt from the USCIS website:

"Please note that, if you file Form I-485 to adjust your status as a permanent resident on or after July 30, 2007, no additional fee is required to also file an application for employment authorization on Form I-765 and/or advance parole on Form I-131. You may file these forms concurrently. If you choose to file the I-765 and/or I-131 separately after July 30, 2007, you must also submit a copy of your I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence of the filing of an I-485. If you filed your Form I-485 prior to July 30, 2007, you must pay the fees associated with Forms I-765 and/or I-131 when you file."

Hi Friends,

I am confused with AP expiration date.

The printed exiration date is :July 29, 2009
But my latest paroled stamp on AP it is : Dec 05, 2009.

Which date should i follow to renew my AP?

thanks

From the day your current one expires.

Sounak,

Along with personal belongings you can left the phone in the security area of the consulate ...

My mom was there recently and she had no issue ...

Sammy

My parents are going for visa interview in kolkata. I heard they dont allow mobile phone inside the consulate. Is there any storage spot to leave them ?

sounak

Can you provide more information? What did they tell you at walk-in?

Not been following the dates these days. Would be nice to have this info..

1) How much time does it take for the EAD application to get processed (Texas Service center) for new EAD (not an extn)?

2) How much time does it take for the AP extension to get processed (TSC) if I were to apply for an extension of my old AP today?

Thanks all for your inputs.

I Am One Of The July Filers. Along With I-485 Application Last Year
I Did Apply For Ead, But Didnt Apply For Ap.
Can I Apply For Ap Along With Ead Renewal This Time?????
Please Discuss

Thx

Have you considered undergoing sex-change operation ?

I mean it is an option after all... and you may get to understand women as well in the process



just kidding...
Good Luck :)

It is difficult to predict the timeline.
The house members are not happy with the Senate bill.
I have read that the conference committee may meet next monday ( all hearsay).

We can only pray and hope for the best.

The news from CIS brings joy for a lot of the IV members.

Order Details - Jul 18, 2007 11:02 AM EDT
Google Order #403702581861805
Amount : 100$

I know that PERM labor gets expired if one does not file I-140 within 180 days of labor's approval date.
I am wondering if DOL has any procedure to revive expired approved/unused PERM by filing some sort of request/appeal or by paying some sort of fees etc. or if not ,then one files a new PERM by referring the old unused approved labor for the same job and same person then DOL can give an expedited approval.

They give 180 days to file...what stops the person from filing for the I-140 within the 180 day window in the first place? Are you talking about labor substitution? If so, they got rid of it because of extensive abuses and so, don't count on it.

I am applying for a green card and my lawyer sent me a case number starting with an A and in the format : A-#####-##### for my PERM.
I tried http://pds.pbls.doleta.gov/ but it does not accept case numbers starting with "A".
Can you please tell me where I can go to look at the status of this application?

RFE - Request for evidence

Thanks. But my question was what the RFE was? What is the evidence requested by CIS?

Once you switched from F1 to H1 your F1 becomes void.

If you can get an approved transfer (don't know form # or name) then you should be good, and don't need another stamp. That is my best "guess".


Hi,

I was on an F1 visa until Oct, 2008 and on H1-b visa after that.
The expiry date on my F1 visa stamp is in 2011.

I intend to convert from H1 to F1 . Do I require a new F1 visa stamp or will my old stamping be valid still?


Thanks in advance.

There are still some new members who keep posting that the bill S 1348 looks very good and it has SKIL provisions etc, because they get pointed to the last year's bill.

If you go on thomas.loc.gov and find bill text for S. 1348 you see a bill that is a copy-paste version of LAST YEAR'S SENATE BILL S. 2611.

That text is last years text that was initially put in place as a place-holder BEFORE the grand compromise was reached.

After the grand bargin (compromise/coalition) was reached, the text of the grand compromise replaced the entire text of last year's bill (that has SKIL) was the next text.

Amendment # 1150 (S.A. 1150) Sponsored by Sen. Kennedy is a 400 page amendment that replaces the entire text that was intially in the bill with the new text. Its a "Substitute" amendment.

Read the S. A. 1150 text. Its also on IV homepage as PDF. That is the bill now. Here is the link to that

I lost my job about a month ago with fortune company where I had my H1 and then I filed to transfer my H1 to the GC filing company. It got approved last week. They even seem to have sent the I 94 with the H1 approval.

I have a visa from the earlier company(fortune company) till dec 2009 in my passport. Do I now need to get a fresh visa again with the new (GC) company that has sponsored my H1. Or is the visa validity in my passport is good enough to work even for the new employer?

It had been approved on 5/5/2010.

I do not have receipt yet.

My Personal experience was:
- When my H1B was filed for the first time it had a wrong Date of Birth, lawyer asked me to bring Birth Certificate to the Interview at the consulate. I did not have problems with the stamping of the visa.
When my extension was filed , again, Date of Birth was wrong. Lawyer told me the same thing. Get recent Birth Certificate and bring it to the Interview.

Did not have any problem at all.
