take infopass and try to take extension on I-94 if possible or an official USCIS letter stating the circumstances
also maybe flying west would be better over the pacific instead of atlantic....

I have received my physical card on 09/24. This site was a great help and will continue spreading word about IV.

Is anyone here works for Apple Inc.? Need some info. Please send me private message.

Thanks

Congrats!:D

Hi Pappu,

How about 10000+ people sing a single letter and send it to every congressman/woman or senator. When you ask people to send letter to all congressman/woman they won�t. But i believe they wont hesitate to just sign one letter. Let me know if it�s useful

Hi all,

In her passport, my wife's name appears as follows :

Given name = <blank>
Surname = <First name> <Last Name>

Now visa stamping has this :

Given Name = FNU
Surname = <First name> <Last Name>

We are filing I-485 this week and in all the forms we were thinking of giving :

Given Name = <First name>
Surname = <Last Name>

At the same time initiating a Name Split in the passport. Is it advisable to have name split in passport while I-485 is in process?.

There is actually no "name change" per se. Just splitting it and putting it under the correct first and last names. If we file it using FNU, then all her records like DL, SSN, EAD, AP & then GC all will be starting with FNU, which is what we want to avoid.

The ideal way would've been to split the name in passport first and then file it, but we are afraid we could get stuck with retrogression again, if the process gets delayed! :confused:

Please advise !

Thanx

Hi,

I just got approved for H-1B this year and I have some questions. I'm from a small country where they do not easily let their citizens to become citizens of other counties. So unless it's for educational purpose (undergraduate/graduate), they will not renew my passport for me.

My passport expires at the end of this year, and I was wondering if it's possible to obtain the following with an expired passport:

a) H-1B extension
b) PERM
c) green card

If it's not possible to obtain any of them with an expired passport, I must enroll in a graduate school to renew my passport. (Before my passport expires) I really prefer not to do this.

I would really appreciate if you could reply with cases you've seen or experienced in the past.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think you would be able to get through any of the list with the expired passport. If you are applying for it before your passport expires, I think you should be good.

By the way which country you are from?

i do not know what options he has but 'ras' is not talking about 'stock options' most people are answering about. July 08 options expire on Jul 18, 2008. so people who are talking about and advising him on stock options are simply confusing this guy. this may be stocks of his company as part of a bonus or something like that. or he is just making fun of us by posting such an unrelated thing.

Remember, everthing copy. Nothing Original. don't send your original I-94, but a copy.

Hi, Guys,

My attorney just emailed me a list of items he needs from me for filing 485. The list is surprisingly short. Is this package really sufficient?

******requested for 485 filing*************
For your wife:

1. Marriage certificate, w/English translation
2. Birth certificate w/ English translation
3. Biographical information page, and date of issuance/expiration page, from current passport
4. Copy of her current visa
5. Copies of other US visas you have had
6. Current I-94 card
7. Passport entry stamp from last entry into the United States
8. Six (6) passport photos

For you:

1. Birth certificate, w/ English translation
2. Six (6) passport photos
3. Last two (2) paycheck stubs
**********************************************

*medical exam forms also asked separately.

My condition: filing with current employer. I-140 was recently approved.

Thanks alot.

:cool:

Thank you so much for your reply. What you said was exactly what I wanted to hear. You said passport has no importance for immigration (GC) purpose. How about for H-1B extension? I do not plan to travel until I obtain the GC. Where can I find I-94 expiration date and does I-94 have to be renewed with a valid (not expired) passport? TIA.

You might have recevied I-94 at POE when you entered in USA with H1B visa (or it may be part of your h1b approval notice) For H1b extension, you need to attach the copy of the latest I-94. I dont think you need to attach copy of passport, when you extend H1B status or I-94 with in USA.

I think it all depends on what the job qualifications required are.

For Eb2, the JOB DESCRIPTION (i.e. - not what your personal qualifications are) you generally need either a masters degree or bachelors with 5+ years experience. Please note, if you are thinking about jumping from EB3 to EB2 at the same company, without a change in job title - it will be tough to now say that your job requires the extra experience.

In addition, if you don't have a master's degree, and are relying on years of experience, you are NOT able to count experience at your current company towards that.

I know, its ridiculous, and basically discourages company loyalty.

Hope this helps

You will get your GC before your AP and EAD for sure. You missed the 2 year EAD and AP man. ;)

You mean , if we renew our EAD will they will give for 2 Years?? confused..

Thaks,
Pal

i haven't recevied my FP notice yet.....

My attorney says the real problem is, chennai wants a copy of primary applicants valid visa stamp if applying separately. Which means I have to get out of the country to get a visa stamp for sake of my spouse. I am thinking of flying to India and get my visa stamped along with my wife (don't know if vfs will allow me to add an application now). Any other suggestions?

question releated to same issue :

both father and mother has to issue seprate birth affidavit ( I mean on different non-judicial paper affidavit ?

do you know any particular format for this ?

Thanks

The only reason why the House hasn't given in on CIRA is because of the incessant pressure of restrictionists such as NUmbersUSA activists. Look at how active they are. Granted one has to be a Citizen to vote, but the first amendment gives us ALL the right to free speech and express ourselves. That is why IV is legal, and that is why the least we can do is a webfax campaign regarding Skilled Immigration (SKIL bill) AND show up at local meetings with Congressman.

Believe me, if we don't speak up, no one is going to do it for us. People like me with 02 priority dates are going to wait atleast two more years, folks who filed in 05 may get to wait 5+ years for their GC. This is the way things look currently.

The Illegals like the Chamber of Commerce, the big lobby Ag, Hotel/Travel, Construction, Meat-Packing, Industries, the Catholic Church and big ethic lobbies like MALDEF, La Raza, besides millions of hispanic votes.

The other side also has the power of millions of votes and a LOUD VOICE.

We have nothing compared to them. You can see we are small fish...that is why we need to do all we can to make ourselves heard.

Please take some actions today .... and prepare for many more actions next week

DEAR SUPPORTERS OF LOWER OVERALL IMMIGRATION,

Thanks to all of you who -- in the two weeks since the Senate voted for a massive immigration increase and amnesty -- have been regularly checking your Action Buffet for new actions and who have been responding to the several Fax Alerts that we have sent you.

Now, it is time to really start turning up the heat again.

I'm asking each one of you to do at least one of the following TODAY.

Members of Congress are feeling great pressure from our side, but we must really escalate that pressure if we are to totally block all the immigration increases in the Senate bill. Thus far, the Republican majority in the House of Representatives has stood firm against the national Republican Party leaders and President Bush. We have a lot of hope that the House can hold the line against the amnesty/open borders plan of President Bush, the Republican National Committee and nearly all Senate Democrats. BUT IT WILL HAPPEN ONLY IF ALL OF YOU DO WHAT YOU DID IN APRIL AND MAY.

There are a lot more of YOU than there used to be.

Last Saturday, our Activist Membership crossed the 200,000 mark! That means we have almost 100,000 more of you working together in this cause than we had last December when we pressured for toughening amendments to the House-passed H.R. 4437.

Action No. 1: Send all the faxes that have accumulated on your Action Buffet corkboard.

We can tell from the number of faxes that have been ordered over the last two weeks that many of you have taken a much-deserved break from activism and not been sending the new faxes we have posted on your customized corkboard.

Please go now to:

www.NumbersUSA.com/actionbuffet

Action No. 2: Tell us when and where your Senators and Representative are holding town hall meetings

You should see a thumb-tacked note on your corkboard asking for this information. When you click on the note, you will go to a page that will give you good instructions for how to track down this information.

There is no central place to find out when and where Members of Congress expose themselves to the voters. In fact, they try to keep it as secret as possible because they don't really want to have to hear directly from you.

That is why the town hall meeting part of our Action Buffet is so very important.

NumbersUSA doesn't have the staff to dig out potential meetings of all 535 Members of Congress. We MUST rely on you to send us that info on your own Members so we can share with everybody else from your state and District.

Click on corkboard note to send us town hall meeting information

Action No. 3: Attend any meeting or event where your Senators or Representative are expected to appear

Nothing you do will be as powerful as attending in person one of the events where your Members of Congress appears, and then asking a question or making a statement about immigration -- or even holding up a sign giving your view on immigration -- or applauding another voter who expresses your opinion on immigration.

You all have become great faxers and phoners. But we must have many, many more of you personally confronting the Members of Congress -- especially the ones who have Immigration Grades ranging from F-minus to B.

See your Members' immigration grades at:

www.CongressGrades.org

If you see a thumb-tacked note on your corkboard that announces a meeting of one of your Members of Congress, PLEASE LOOK AT IT -- and make plans to attend.

Get some friends to go with you to ensure that you will have a cheering section.

And be sure to use the feedback devices on our page that allow you to easily let us know you are planning to attend and to give us a report when you return.

Action No. 4: Call some friends or let us know that you plan to visit the local office of your Representative or one of your Senators next week

These Members of Congress must have voters in their local offices putting the pressure on their staffs to block the Senate amnesty and immigration increases.

If you are interested in doing this but don't want to go alone, send us an email through our Help Desk form and we will put you in touch with other people in your area who are trying to make a trip.

PLEASE NOTE: We have a new way of your communicating to us in which you cannot just hit REPLY to our Alerts anymore.

We are not trying to make things difficult for you. But with 200,000 members, our staff simply has not been able to keep up with your emails. We have hired two interns for the summer to help Jon and Jeremy. But we also must create a better system of categories if we are to provide the level of service we once did.

So, you should always communicate with us by:

(a) clicking on the CONTACT US link in the navigation bar at the top of our web pages. That takes you to the HELP FORM link.

(b) or putting this address in your directory and regularly using it:

www.numbersusa.com/helpform

On the Help Form page, you choose the category in which you are writing and send us an email that way.

Thousands of people have already started using this form in the last month, and it is accelerating our ability to respond.

======================================

Thanks for jumping into this TODAY before you move into your weekend family and recreation activities.

Then, please, plan to do something Monday and during the rest of the week.

We will be sending you additional guidance on how best to stop the amnesty -- or at least keep it from passing this month. The longer we can delay this, the better our chances are of winning.

Thank you,

-- ROY

I had an update on my 485 application today and its say's

On September 8, 2010, we transferred this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER location for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case. We sent you a notice of this transfer. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

Don't know what does this mean to my case and it is good or bad.

Does any one had been through this ?

My wife got hers from:

Josef Silny & Associates | Foreign Credential Evaluations (http://www.jsilny.com/html/foreign.htm)

The school actually asked to use them.

Yes, same experience with us. The school had some evaluators and they are the only ones that are considered, so check with the university for the list first.

I stickied it - I'm not sure how the rules work in Battle though, so maybe it isn't meant to be stickied. If it gets unstickied, I'm sure I broke some rule :)

i'll kick start this thread myself :D

i am planning to buy a house, i would appreciate if anybody can suggest some good realtors in socal?
I would answer this:
The best realtor is the one who can give you some money back from his commission...:)
Dont rely on the realtor to determine the home price for you. DO some homework...compare homes in the vicinity and come up with a price thats reasonable and mos importantly AFFORDABLE to you.
