One of my friends had the same problem from Madras consulate. they eventually called him to come back with the passport after 3 weeks. You will get it but it's just matter of time.........

To Bindas74,

Did the e-file process ask you to pay the biometric fee? I ask because my attorney informed me this afternoon that I do not need to pay a biometric fee, or send in a G-325A form, when sending in my EAD/AP renewal. Do please let me know if this is not the case.

On the Advance Parole justification, I would put in a note stating that I maintain close ties with my family in <country here> and travel frequently to see them. Additionally, state that you wish to travel abroad on vacation on multiple occasions through the year, and request them to grant you an Advance Parole for these reasons. This document request seems to be in lieu of the covering letter that's usually sent with an AP request. I'm sure they don't need you to send them ticket receipts.

Thanks,

Bump

he is asking me to go back to India after March

The critical mass drives the unity. The indian community is lot lot smaller and even if united it will lack the critical mass. That itself drives them to persue individual subgroup interest by joing other interest groups thereby disuniting. The 90s was the period when
hispanic community got united especially after Pete Wilson in Califonia and in US. There was major naturalization drive and voting effort.

Yes true, besides we as a crowd are generally very diverse among ourselves.Well the 1986 amnesty did give them a lot of motivation to come together.

More reasons for motivation

Net jump in value of an illegal jumping the border = $20,000-$60,000+ a year 100%-500%+++
Net benefit to legal after GC = $500-$5000 a year 1-5%

Hi

I am trying to book ticket for my summer travel to India and frusteted with knowledge of travel agents and airline peoples. My story is like this:

I have EXPIRED F-1 VISA STAMP, VALID H-1 APPROVAL , NO H-1 STAMPING IN PASSPORT, HAVE ADVANCE PAROL FOR REENTRY ( My family is also traverling with me with H-4 approval and AP)

I want your guidance : For going to India ( and coming back also !!)

(1) Which CITIES I can TRAVEL Through WIthout requiring TRANSIT VISA?

(2) Which AIR LINE OPERATES flights through these cities?

(3) what are the non-stop flight options available between US and India?

(4) Non-stop flights are cheap or costly compare to other one stop flights?

( I dont want to apply for TRANSIT VISA, I had already sent too much money on H-1 and GC process and traveling with my family so if I go for Transit visa it will cost me atleast 1000 $ extra !!!)

I want to go to AMD ( Direct or through BOMBAY if possible)

Also let me know any good knowledgable travel agents who knows rule and give good deal for India.

thanks for your help.
I was checking LAX (Los angeles) to AMD (Ahmedabad) via SIN (singapore) , you are taliking about 30 to 36 hours of travel time, top of GSP/ATL to LAX.
I suggest , if you dont have any time constraint ( like unpaid vacation/timeoff) , that is the best what i searched so far.

Now they are saying 17 months (until 9/30/2007)

Is a year 10 months? What kind of math is this? :confused:

OK.. now they changed it to 19 months. :)

Oh, of course! What do you want said near your entry?

I already added a brief caption to one of glos's entries becase users won't see anything unless they click and drag for example.

I attended Visa Interview for my H1B extension today (Dec 11th 2009) at Hyderabad Consulate.

I do have a genuine job and had been working for the same client since the day I started working in the US..

VO gave me 221g Yellow form and he didn't check anything. He asked me to drop all the documents in the drop box. He didn't mention anything about the passport.

Below is conversation:
1) DS-156, 157 & Passport
A) I handed him those docs.
2) Are you returning to the same job?
A) Yes sir
3) Can I see the client letter?
A) I gave a letter from Fedex. (Attached the client letter I submitted to the Consulate Officer)
4) Can I see your Paystubs?
A) Gave him all the paystubs since May 2007.
5) Why are the amounts different in paystubs?
A) Base salary is same, but bonus component varies every pay cycle. Also, my employer had switched to a different payroll company and since then they are running the payroll weekly.

He then gave me a 221g Yellow form and asked me to drop all the documents in the dropbox. And he also asked me if he could keep the client letter. I said Yes.

Couple of questions:
1) Should i drop my passport along with all other documents?
2) What is the success rate and
3) Why do they usually issue an Yellow slip?

Any help is greatly appreciated..

Thanks and Regards..

:D That's because most people do even know what a I-485 looks like :confused: and will likely not know for years!

hahaha that was really funny!!
...but also sad for those folks that are waiting :(
Good Luck guys!

Thanx once again Ms. Sen for you so valuable response. Is there anyways, you could tell me the email address. It will be then easy for me to talk to him when I have all the information. Another question, has the email to be sent out only by the lawyer, or the company can directly do that?

Thanx once again...

I think with PERM in place you have to be on the payroll for the employer to apply for the GC. Pre-PERM you were not required to be on payroll..

Thats the info that I know of (Not from lawyers) from friends.. Please correct me if i am wrong.:confused:

No, you are not required to be on the payroll for employer to file PERM since GC is for future employment.

Thanks, I work in the credit derivatives area. Developing IT infrastructure for pricing and doing risk analysis for single names and multi-names credit derivatives. What about you?

I got my charter in 05.. but still remember the day i got my results... one of the best days of my life..

I really havent used it much though other than sponsoring my students for level 1. so what area of fin you in?

Umnagini! tough luck man. If this were at-all possible, I would have had my Green card 5 years ago. I have the exact same situation as yours. No, can't do it.

800 989 TALK - I confirmed it

The new host is actually Steves brother :) They kind of look alike as well.

But yeah, you are right.... Steve was much better. My sister used to work at a day care center where one of her kids was like a 2nd cousin to that guy or something like that. She said Steve was forced to wear the long sleeve shirt because his arms are covered with tattoos. Just more useless facts.

Dude you are asking for advise on your own RFE but advising others on their RFEs. I dont get it.

I know answer for his RFE and i don't know answer for my RFE? Is that a problem?

This is an important step zero. I am sure Reid will push this through in the Senate.

But in this congress it's all about what the House does.. Need to see the House version of this bill..

05/08/2008: Fashion Model Nonimmigrant Visa Reclassification and Relief Legislation Inching Ahead - 05/08/2008 Mark-Up

* Currently, foreign fashion models come to work in the U.S. under the nonimmigrant visa classification of H-1B. A legislative bill , H.R. 4080, was introduced last December in the House to reclassify the visa classification from H-1B to P visas for artists and athlets. This morning, the House Judiciary Immigration Subcommittee is scheduled to debate 9:30 a.m. on this bill and it is expected that this bill will move ahead to the House floor. For the full text of the bill, please click the bill number.

Sorry for a kind of lame question. I have H1B visa appt on Sep 22nd in Canada, if I get the visa, I have to pickup the passport nextday 3pm and fly that evening, but If I get 221g I would like to take the passport back in the interview and return back on the same day using AP.

Given this situation, what is the best way to book the flight? I am not going by road.

Called USCIS and my information is still not in their database. The operator asked me to call again later.
