You are deemed to have lost Canadian PR if you have not fulfilled the 2 out of 5 years residency requirement. The issue may not affect you immediately, but will come up in case you decide to renew your PR card after 5 years. You will be asked to detail your Canadian residency for the past 5 years in your application. Note that this is only a requirement for the plastic card, not the landing paper: which is the proof of granting of PR. The plastic card is required for any travel back to Canada except for road travel from the US. Once your 5 year validity for the PR card has expired, it is upto the border official on the Canadian side to decide whether to let you in without a valid PR card. However, with a US GC you do not need any visa/permit to visit Canada and can safely let your residency requirement lapse automatically if you have not met the 2/5 Canadian residency requirement.

Guys:
I know it's a drag...but what the heck..!!!

What do you think..the dates are going to move too..!!!

can you show me a single post in IV that states that they have travelled after applying for AP, and come back with an AP. May be I missed it.

the rule states that you have to be present in the country when you apply for AP. It does not say anything on where you need to be when it is approved. There are many cases where the applicant left the US to have the document mailed or taken along with someone to the person out of the US. The applicants on return were not asked anything. It was business as usual.

Hi -

Does anyone have good or bad experiences with Indian immigration officers in the airport with AP while coming back to US?

I mean, do these guys know what an AP is?

Is it better to get the H1B stamping done?

I am sure folks on this forum will be going to India for the winter vacations, so any responses would benefit a lot of people..

How encouraging is that?

Have people seen the movie Legally Blonde 2? How the lead person lobbies for the Bruisser Bill ? Wish we could do sth like that.

Still fighting on... $50 p.m. + Lobbying with local Representatives...

Congratulations!

Document mailed for I-131 means actual Advance Parole document is mailed.For I-485 it could be RFE, based on what is written below the status. Like we have requested additional evidence etc.


Canadian_Dream

Does the status 'Document mailed to applicant' mean a RFE?.:eek:

Hellz yea, I hate those **** start things, beeps work well!

Yes, I worked during that time using EAD as I dont have H1b. My Lawyer said I can work as EAD was not revoked. I work for myself (self employment) through my own company.

Again I didn't get refund of MTR money... that is good news if we get our $585 fee back..

Hello bkn96! congratulations!

so, i am interested to know more about your self-employment status. so you saying that you actually worked for your own company when the 485 was adjudicated? so, they did not ask you any questions about that? no rfe? no raised eyebrows? that is cool! how was it? please share!

If it is approved don't wait for the actual paper to arrive. You can apply 140/485 right away and USCIS will contact DOL for your LC papers. That's what I am doing. Don't wait just apply!


See the Requirements for the same ....

Lot of Documentation needed; look at the theard for 485/EAD filing
In the mean time you could wait for the Physical Paper and consult with your attorney to see how u could file it ...

One of my friend is in the same situvation and this is the way we are proceeding !

i understood that. I was just kidding :Di meant the quality was like, that perhaps my computer is messing it up

Thanks Sac-e-ten,
My husband will talk to lawyer soon ....but he's very depressed and me too...what are the options do we have ...do we need to file appeal through lawyer ...my company is not showing any interests. Sir ..please advise..ur help will be highly appreciated...

Yes, i think you have to appeal through a lawyer.

1. BTW what questions were asked to you during interview?

2. Also the denial says " the petetioner does not appear to be either able or willing to provide qualifying employemnt for the principle applicant in the united states in accordance with a appropriate laws and regulations". Do they mention what law? Does it mention employee-employer relationship?

If employer is not showing interest, then you have to talk to the employer about hiring your own lawyer and filing appeal and/or new h4 petition for you.

Also, there is free-attorney sessions every 1st 3 thursdays of the month here on IV. check with ivcoordinator@gmail.com for that.

Also, don't call anybody Sir out here. we are all in diff sections of the same boat called Immigration sailing against tide called USCIS.

Hope things get resolved for you.Good luck.

asdqwe2k,
Actually this event is being held to celebrate your's and your daughter's birthday if you didn't know. :-)

Happy birthday to both of you in advance. Enjoy.



PRETTY FUNNY!!

Hi Everyone,

Our Immigration status is EAD and my wife is pregnant,
We are very happy with the news..

There is lot of possibility for us to be in India during due date, based on few important events in family.
We would like to know.. if baby is born in India then what possibilities are there for us to bring baby along with us?
(if mother stays in India for couple of more months)

can baby also get Green Card when we (parents) are allotted green card?

All your advices are always appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Satya.

Note: Admins if required, please close this thread and redirect to any existing ones, as i could not find one I have posted a new thread.

Congratulations!

If you have the baby in India, you can bring only if you are in H1B as H4.

EAD - Sorry.

If you plan to stay in US, forget your family events, they are the payments you make towards your GC.

Oops mistake in my previous post, my visa stamp on the passport expired Last Year.

It sometimes take longer than few days. During my years of getting AP's every year there are times I had my AP in hand within 3 days to almost 20 days. I am confident you will get your AP document much before the end of the month. Good luck with your travel plans.

Thanks SS777 !!!

I am optimistic as well !!! I am just hoping that I receive the documents by end of this week !

But at the same time, I wouldn't want to sit idle, just hoping !!! :)

I am going to try whatever options that might be available, to speed up the document receipt, if it is possible !!!

Probably, I can set up an appointment with InfoPass, sometime next week, and see what they have to say about this...

The scary part is, I have read several posts by other users who had reported the loss of document once it has been mailed out by USCIS. I hope I do not fall into that category and I want to be aware of the next course of action, if indeed, I fall into that category.

Cancelling my Tickets is the last option that I have in my mind !!!

The things that we have to go through to get a GC !!!! :)

This may be useful for guys to do stamping in Tijuana :-

Who remembers "The Prisoner"?

Patrick McGoohan............Number 6...........The Village.........mid 60's I think.

So did you answer the RFE ? ....

To travel out of the US when a 485 is pending,

1. You should have AP or

2. A valid H-1, H-4 or L-1, L-2 stamp on the passport + 485 receipt

So in your case, you have to wait until you either get the AP or the H-4 change is effective. Until then, you cannot travel.
