We (parents) had applied for family based concurrent AOS in Aug, 2008 while we were on
tourist visas. We are now in India on Advance Parole(valid till Aug. 2009) that we received
after filing AOS.
Today(Feb, 2009) production of green card has been ordered for my wife and will soon be
received in USA. My case is still pending but we expect it processed soon. Thanks for all
the help.
My questions is
(a) What documents we need to show at immigration on returning to USA?. We have I-485
Notice, Advance Parole and valid Passports.
(b) Do we need to request somone in USA to mail our green cards on receipt.?
(c) How much maximum time we still can stay in India.? We wish to stay here for another 1-2
months. In any case making travel arrangements etc. is likely to take atleast 2 weeks.
(d) But is there a time limit for returning?
(e) Can we safely enter 2-3 months after the cards are received in USA, and
(f) sending GC by mail is not objectionable?
Also, in totality, Which one of these scenarios is correct:
1) Do we have to return immediately on approval of green card, enter with advance parole
only and it is not legal to mail green cards?
OR
2) It means if we can get our cards mailed and receive it here, we can safely travel back
with our green cards, even after 2 months of its receipt in USA. Overstay abroad is not an
issue whether it is 2 weeks, 2 months or even more. Am I right?
We would appreciate all the help here, as these are some of the question I have looked over
many sites and forums but could not find answers to. Thanks so much!

I have a simple stupid question. Do we have to attach passport size photos when applying for AP renewal?
Thanks in advance.
Yes you will need 2 photos for AP renewal , else you will receive RFE for photos.

1) There are flights from Manchester, NH to Baltimore, MD for about 150$ (Flying to DC from Manchester costs an additional 100$). It is just 45 miles from Washington, DC. I have read in one of the postings that there are trains from Baltimore to DC Central. We can book hotels in DC through Priceline.
2) If we have enough people, we may be able to drive to DC (rent a bus or a minibus from Boston) But it is at least a 10 hour drive. That means we may have to take at least half the day off on Wednesday as well. We can then start back Thursday evening itself.
It makes sense to book hotels together as it will give us a better chance to prepare for the rally.
I hope more people come forward. I know this is a difficult thing to do. But it is necessary.
There are so many IV members from in and around Massachusetts and only one other has volunteered so far!

If you have worked on a H1B that was from the quota and you have
never left the US for more than 1 year since then.. then you can
transfer your university H1B to company H1B (without waiting for Oct1)
I have comfirmed this with one lawyer for my situation.

Hello All,
When I was doing my education (MS) my credit dropped drastically and recently like 2 years back it went for collections too. However I cleared all my credit card debts but it still shows on the credit report that as severe deliquencies and number of open accounts.
Next month I'm applying for AOS - I want to know whether bad credit will have any affect of the approval or denial of the application? :mad:
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks
Credit Rating will have NO impact on your AOS.

Its not advisable. The DOS has designated a few consulates in Mexico and Canada for third country nationals. Its best to stick to those recommendations, or go to your home country. Visa stamping is a stressful experience to bgin with, why take chances ?
Have anybody stamped their H1 visa in UAE?
I heard a lot of people stamping in Canada and Mexico - but not any other countries.
Any issues going to other countries?

Hi All,
My friend got laid off on Dec 19th 2008. And he got another job, but the new employer is not providing him Group Health Insurance. They are asking to take him Individual Family plan and saying they will reimburse. But the problem is, he is in Albany, NY and he got to know that they are no individual plans in NY which is really odd.
He wants to use COBRA but it's really expensive 1200$ per month. But luckily we saw that there is a 65% discount for people who laid off between 1st Sept 2008 and Dec 31st 2008.
But want to know whether H1b employees are eligible for this discount or only American Citizens and Green Card holders?
Please find IRS article regarding the same.

Its been more than a month that my employer got the approval email but the lawyers say they never got the paper cert. In their opinion, now it is too late to expect the paper. They also say that it is impossible to get a duplicate cert from DOL.
The only option, per my lawyers, is to file a regular I140 and ask USCIS to get the duplicate directly from USDOL when we get the RFE.
Has anyone else had a similar experience or is the laywer pulling my chain since i have three EADs and APs due for approval in 3 months.
Can folks confirm that PERM certs indeed go missing and this is the only recourse?

does that mean no hope left ? what r the other options ? isn't this whole process is for future employment and if i am licensed now than whats the problem in future employment i don't understand that part "future employment". i am on h1 now and if i will get my residency than i will be working at that position and i am licensed now. then why does the old date matters.
is it true guys ??
Because the LC is for a particular qualiication that needs to have happenned at that time - would it be ok if they calculate a new LC salary by adding the inflation?

My sub-labor was approved and my lawyer used it for I-485- but it is for EB3. My original I-140 was for EB2, which was approved before my EB3 I140 was approved. Now my lawyer doesn't want to interfile.

hello, I am in a F1 status for about 3 years, I have been working and filing taxes. I am going to get married to a USC and apply for a green card through it. I want to know if I can have any problem in the aplication since I've been working without authorization.
Once you entered legally you should be able to get permanent residence even if you worked without authorization. Please see this blog post: Law Office of Elaine Martin - immigration news: My spouse is "illegal" - what can we do? (http://martinvisalaw.blogspot.com/2009/03/my-spouse-is-illegal-what-can-we-do.html).
Second in concern to the affidavit support how much should I show and who has to fill these forms since my future wife is unemployed.
Another common querstion so I blogged about this also: Law Office of Elaine Martin - immigration news: affidavit of support (http://martinvisalaw.blogspot.com/search/label/affidavit%20of%20support)
Third in case my wife file for bankruptcy in the future that could affect me and if it does how can avoid this. By the way I live in florida.
This is not an immigration question. You should check with a family or bankruptcy lawyer in Florida.

Anybody?
Contact your local lawmaker with your case details
Call USCIS - NSC
Write to Ombudsman
I hope you did all of this already. If not don't wait anymore
Because you never know, when the new fiscal year begin on Oct 08 for the USCIS the EB2 dates may go back to Mid 2003 and it will not quickly move forward until July or Aug of 09.
Best Wishes and Good Luck
