My passport is expiring in March. I live in NY metro . Does anyone knows the procedure to renew the passport while in the USA. Please share your experience.
You can go to this website and get all the needed info....
http://www.indiacgny.org/
Also, there were atleast 2 threads discussing PP renewals..You can do a search for those threads for renewal timelines...I think it takes them 2-3 weeks in NY Consulate to mail the new passport....You can go for tatkal service and get it issued the same day if you pay $90 extra....

Going to Home country may be the best option. COS may take quite long and block applying for H1-B.

I guess Wacom advertises their tablets more vigorously than Genius? Who knows... have you compared Genius and Wacom side by side and discovered that Genius is far superior? Personally, I selected Wacom because it's the only brand that isn't obscure and I've read a number of positive things about Wacom. It's pricey but a good investment. My first Graphire paid for itself in no time and even helped me purchase my Intuos 2.

I have both EB3 and EB2 labor approved and EB2 I-140 approved for the same job requirement in the same company. Here're some details:
labor PD : 03/2005 (EB3)
labor PD : 12/2006 (EB2),
I-140 approved (EB2)
I-485 Applied : 07/2007 with approved EB2 I-140
Is it possible to use my EB3�s PD for my EB2 application? If so, what�s the procedure.
Thanks a lot!

It all depends on their background check and security requirements.
As a non-US citizen your EAD has the same worth as a H1B for these jobs. Same is the case for LPR's for US Federal jobs with various security clearance checks (where only US Citizens can apply).
I know contractors who work without citizenship, but for a employee it looks like US Citizenship is a basic necessity. Do you have any first hand knowledge? Thanks in advance.

As long as visa is stamped she can enter us on the last date of expiry of visa.
If you get your renewal approved when she is in India send her the approved letter original (courier it) so that she can show to the officers at port of entry and this new date will be entered in I94 expiry. If she dont show it then she will get I94 for only few day depending on officer and you will have to apply for extention again.
Check with attorney that I am correct :)

from other posts, I have seen 10 working days wait times.
Pl. keep your post updated for the benefit of others.
Also contact your attoneys and ask them to find ways to check if your petition is present in PIMS. My attorney says there is no way he can. I also called DOS & KCC, they are not helping either.
thx

I believe you have to be in the US when your 140 is applied. Same goes for 485. Check with your lawyer. Once 140 or 485 is applied, you can travel outside.
For 485 you do indeed need to be in the US (for yoiu adjust status, you need to be in some status in the US). However for I-140 you need not be in the US. Can you point to any law or any link on any forum that says you need to be present for filing the I-140?
The complete GC process can be done without ever entering the US (do LC, file I-140, then do Consular processing for the final stage)

Today, our AP status has changed to "Document mailed to applicant". Does this mean that they have mailed the approval document or is it an RFE document?
For most of the applicants the status has turned to "Approval Notice sent" but mine is different. Is anyone in the same boat.
I got the same status yesterday. No email. I guess it is approval.

Hi,
My H1 is expiring on 31st March. And my employer applied for I129 which is recieved on 3rd Feb.; in case I do not get approval from USICS before/on 31st March, CAN I stay in USA & work?
And my DL is also expiring on same day but DMV is not ready to issue new DL until I get new approval. How can I get DL if I do not get approval doc by 31st macrh.
Is there any chance I do not get H1 approval (even after 31st March)...
regards...

So how abt I-765 and I-131 forms which will be submitted with 485.
If I submit on August 5th, do I need to pay old fees or new fees for the I-765 and I-131 .
All other forms except i-485 the fee increase will be effective from july 30th and i-485 will get increased post August 17th:)

hello,
Processing Type: Regular Processing
Receipt Number: WAC081-465-XXXX
Received Date: APR,24 2008
Notice Number: N/A
RFE Date:
RFE Responded Date: sep 16 2008
Status: RFE responded and case resumed
iam going to wait since one year.but still its going to be delay.my employer didn't say anything. I was getting frustrated everytime I looked at it, same statment: "Case resumed"
what will i do?can i raise the service request?can i directly call to the uscis?
please suggest me...
AFAIK, If your H1 petition is an extension with the same employer and its 240 days past your I-94 expiry date, you should consider stop working. If your petition is H1 transfer, you can continue to work until the decision. As OP suggested, do the premium and get it over with. IMO, it is worth putting that 1k rather than living in anticipation. Good luck.

We should not mention who we are speaking to in a public forum. This will trigger all kinds of opposition flooding to whomever you mention, which will work against us
Join your state chapter, they will be able to help coordinate and get contacts and visits etc.
I agree - It's not a good thing. Moreover, it might push the wrong buttons if person from one state sends letters/faxes to the congressman from other state. I would not be surprised if the congressman would not care since you are not from his district. You can also check if you can send the letters/faxes to your state senators...

Hi,
I just checked all immigration documents and found that original I797 (H1b approval) is missing. I have a copy but not original. We are travelling to India tomorrow. Is it must that we need to have original I797 at POE or is a copy ok. Appreciate if you could please let us know about this as soon as possible.
Thank you so much.

Topics covered and time management was absolutely great ! Hardwork pays off.

Hello all,
I am currently on H1B visa working for an IT company. I have got an admit for this Fall to do my MS and I was planning to study using my EAD. Now there seems to be some risk in using my EAD and so I want to apply for F1. I have applied for I-485 (Adjustment of status) along with my husband's green card application.
My question is:
1: Is it a problem to apply for F1 if my I-485 is pending approval ? The reason I ask is, F1 is a Non Immigrant visa and I-485 is for a green card (which is Immigrant visa).
2: Would my F1 application cause my 485 to be denied or vice versa ?
Thanks in advance
Your F-1 will probably be denied since you have expressed intent to immigrate by filing I-485. What's the problem with using EAD (assuming that you are the dependent)?

That is correct. If you are married and over 21, they can't apply unless they are U.S. Citizens. But then, you will be under FB 3rd category which means a very long wait.

Hello Madam/Sir,
I have applied in EB2-NIW category and filed I485 concurrently during July-August 2007 season. My wife also did the same to maximize the chance. Both of our I140 were approved recently.
Now, we have two sets of I485 pending (in one, I am the primary applicant, my wife is the dependent and in other, she is the primary applicant and I am the dependent). We both are doing job in the same company in the same position. Since we are from India, it will take probably a long time before our I485s get approved. Since the economical sitatution is not well in recent time, we planned to keep both I485 active in case something unforeseen happen to one of us; so that the other set of application will still be active.
We recently got a RFE for our birth certificate/parentage information. We have got birth certifactes from Indian Consulate, affidavifits from our mothers (since mothers name was not included in original birth certificate) and letters from our schools.
Since we were not sure whose EB2-NIW application would be approved, we kept both sets of I485 application active. Now, we were wondering if there is a problem in having multiple I485 pending at USCIS (of course they are related to differenet I-140). We would like to know if it is better to withdraw one set of application at this point. Is there any risk of cancellation of both I485 due to multiple submission?
Your answers/views will be highly helpful for us. Please reply.
Thank you so much, in advance.
