I tried a few times for scheduling infopass trying to get Boston which is closer to where I live. But I am getting Lawrence....I guess Boston office is flooded with appointments...Didn't know that Lawrence has a office too.

Will let you guys know if the meeting is of any help (which I doubt)...

Thanks,

I made an emergency appointment about a year ago to get my h1b stamped at new Delhi. To schedule such an appointment you would need the LIN# of your I-797 ( H1b approval notice ), your US residential and your employer information.

Thought folks might find the following interesting.

I recently returned from a visit to Canada where I stayed with my brother-in-law, who owns a small but very successful web development shop. He told me that due to the booming Canadian economy, he can no longer find experienced programmers at reasonable bill rates. So he's been doing some outsourcing to get cheap foreign labor ... hiring American programmers !

Like I said earlier, you have 240 days before you go out of status. If you are receiving an RFE, it means your case is under review. Upon receiving your response to the RFE, the officer should be able to adjudicate case fairly soon. However, if you are nervous, I recommend file for an expedited review when sending your response. That said, I would hate to pay the extra $$$$ if I don't have to.

Does anyone know more about this ?.

Mine said
Bachelor or equivalent with computer related coursework for which I submitted equivalency.

Processing dates are bogus.. Don't rely on that.

Why don't you extend with current employer A? That is the best option right?

I am a resident working on H1b. Got married and wife joined me in July 2010.

1. First question in the ITIN form w-7 is: Reason you are submitting Form W-7. (there are couple of options)

Is the option in my case: "Spouse of U.S. citizen/resident alien"? (and it asks for the resident's i.e. my name and SSN.)

What are the other options

2. Item 6d. "Identification documents submitted" ?
Options are for passport, Divers License, USCIS documentation.

My wife has all the three. Her H4 visa is stamped and valid. What all should I submit?

Notorized copy of the passport which shows the valid visa...

Thx
.

Probably this is a case of processing error. The I-485 was denied based on I-140 denial. I would try for MTR on the I-485 with I-140 status.

Hi,

I am Us citizen and sent a request letter with my Mom to US Embassy in Armenia to kindly grant my Mom a tourist visa to visit me and my new born son. I also signed and sent dully filled and signed Affidavit of Support form with all the requested paper work. However, my Mom was denied the tourist visa on the grounds that I did not returned to Armenia in 2000 (8 years Ago) before my J1 Visa expiration.
But I got visa extension befor J1 visa expiration then applied for permanent resident and got my green card).
I did not violate any regulation.
What can I do ? Please Help.

I think a good Attorney can draft a letter to the consulate explaining the waiver.

Don't we all agree that these agencies actually need lawyers and not us?

^^^^^ bumping up

Hourglass,

How responsive are they to our concerns. Are they accessible ?

Others, any experience, please share. If you are more comfortable send a PM.

I want to make the right decision. Thank You.

I'm wondering if criminal charges that never lead to a conviction (3 charges in total) can cause a green card holder to get deported? Also, when a person applies to renew a green card after it expired will another FBI fingerprint check be done?

Thanks for the help.

was it no contest or did u plead guilty?

I am EB2, Indian. Filed for PERM earlier this summer and waiting for approval which I don't expect for another 4-6 months. The situation is that my company is in a very shaky financial position but they have been very supportive and I am hoping to be okay for the next 6 mo to year. My strategy is (assuming I don't lose my job) to just sit out my I-140 approval and that way I get the 3-yr extension and lock in my PD. I don't see being able to file for I-485 at this job.

Soo -- 2 questions:
1) Do you think the financial position of the company will affect the I-140 approval? It's a financial services firm and we have had a bunch of layoffs.
2) Assuming I get my I-140 approved, could I, in theory, leave the US for a while (I am very interested in a one-year fellowship program in Europe) and then come back and go work for a new company using the 3-year H1-B extension and begin the green card process again with my current (2009) priority date?

Thanks very much!
For question 2: Answer Yes.
If your company had lay offs there is a good chance you might get audit. If you get an audit the Perm process might take upto 2-3 years. If you dont get an audit perm process could finish in a year. Plan accordingly. All the best.

Thanks mhathi for your response.

How long ( no of days) does the USCIS California center takes to decide the case for Fresh H1( F1- H1) RFE after requested documents were submitted before deadline under premium processing category.

Hi all, I need help in explaining my situation if someone can help me . Here is my info that I know
EB3 ROW
PD : April 6, 2006 (PERM)
July Filer.
i140 and i485 July 2007 (Received by USCIS Texas Center September 10, 2007)
AP and EAD received September 2007

I want to understand the process so I can know the meaning of the Visa bulletin based on my situation.
I am guessing that right now I will have to wait for my i140 to be approved first before I can talk about i485. I checked the processing time for i140 at TSC and it is August 15, 2007. Any crazy estimate when I should get the approval?

Once my i140 is approved then I can look and match my PD with the visa bulletin EB3 ROW for adjustment of status.

I know there would be some more steps than these above. But are these statement above correct/incorrect?

Thank you very much

Hi,

Although my EAD has been approved long back, I haven't actually received the actual EAD card in hand because of an address related glitch. It is said they will re-send, but the delay is unbelievable. I have the A# from other correspondences.

Under the circumstances, can I apply for a AC21.

Thanks,

Soumya


Please update your profile.

Thank you for sharing your case.
It might help lot of people to plan accordingly and not get stuck ...
VISA things are getting ridicules

My wife's passport was received from Delhi Consulate after about 21 business days.

My wife attended the H4 interview on Jan-11 and the VO asked 3 basic question of what does your husband do, what do you do and why are you going. No pink or green or any slip was given and nor my wife was told that her visa hasa been approved. All she was told was that they have to do some background processing after which they will send the passport back.

So what was supposed to be 2-3 days of work stretched for ever, off course flights had to be cancelled and wife had to drop the semester and my daughter had to miss the school as well. My wife's AP was approved after she had left for India,so couldn't even use that.

I know there is nothing an applicant can do or not do, but it just bothers me how much anguish this causes to not just the applicant but all of the immediate family and there is nothing that can be done.

I wish good luck to all who are stuck and hopefully in future this process might be more streamlined and have faster turnaround.

My current AP will be expiring this Dec, and my priority date is Jan 2006.
I have a wedding in Canada in January 2011. I would like to know if I need an Advance Parole to Canada then re-enter? Somehow I read somewhere about Canada and Mexico have different requirements.
Thanks for your input.

Yes, you WILL need AP. DO NOT leave without an APPROVED AP in hand, to Canada, as that will make your GC application deemed abandoned. Repeat, you need an APPROVED AP in hand, before you depart for Canada.

our ead is expiring in sep1st week. My attorney has just filed for ead renewal, am still waiting for a receipt no.

Since am working in H1 and not used EAD yet, i wont have any problem.
My wife is currently working on H1B and had plan to switch on EAD, although she has not started using the current EAD.
And her H1 is also expiring in september.
I am now afraid what will happen if her EAD doesnot get renewed before the expiry date. She may neither be able to work in H1 nor EAD.

i should have applied for ead renewal myself instead of waiting for employer to file. The process is getting delayed now.

Guys, is there any way to expedite her EAD to be approved soon?
can she continue work in h1 even if her h1 has expired until 90 days?

Get some nice Attroney and you need to get Education Evalution properly.

It should clearly show your credentials etc.
