how we applied for expedite advance parole thru the phone - VisaJourney.com (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=177190)
I used these instructions to expedite my wife's AP based on "medical emergency". USCIS did not send me letter asking for evidence of emergency, instead just approved the case the next day. I had taken infopass appt but cancelled it when i saw approval email. some people who went to infopass have been told that AP cannot be expedited at local office and must be done by phone.
File at : Texas Service Center
Method: Paper based
Filed on : 7/24/09
Received by USCIS : 7/27/09
Receipt notice date: 7/28/09
Called USCIS to expedite: 8/10/09
Approval email : 8/11/09
Received approved AP by mail : 8/14/09
-Basically have all info ready (ap receipt notice #, A#, 485 receipt notice #, SSN, date of birth, email address etc).
- If this is your wife's case, have her in the conference as USCIS will not talk to you without her permission.
-Call the ph # on the receipt notice and follow the prompts
-Let the CS rep complete his/her script, and politely answer his/her questions.
-Rep will enter service request in the system and give you a conf # (which i don't know how to use, status is checked by receipt #).
-Rep will say you will receive letter from USCIS within 5 business days, asking to fax/mail the evidence of emergency. be prepared to fax the evidence as soon as you receive letter OR EMAIL. yes they may send you email the second day which is actually better/faster.
*** You may or may not receive the letter from USCIS asking for evidence, in case you don't get one, you may simply receive approval.
Hope this helps anyone looking to expedite AP.

Thanks for the correction.
But in this case, since the person is working on EAD for the last 7 years, can she apply for a new H1B?.
I think she needs to be outside the country for 1 year and then apply H1.

I am in need of this info and want to clarify my doubt. Please reply soon.
Both parents were in India and Indian Citizens by birth at the time of birth of their chidren in India. Birth of year for children is 1996 and 2000 (still minor). As such both children are Indian Citizens by birth.
If one or both the parents acquire foriegn (Canadian) citizenship and does not apply for Canadian citizenship for their children, does it affect Indian Citizenship of their minor children in that case? Will the children automatically loose their Indian Citizenship? or children can still be Indian citizens as they have not acquired foriegn citizenship, even if parents have acquired/renounced the Indian citizenship? (Parents have to write to Indian Consulate that they are renouncing their own Indian Citizenship due to acqusition of foriegn citizenship in order to get Indian Visa for themselves.)
This doubt originated due to information in Wikipedia under Citizenship Act of 1955, which has a clause which says "Renunciation is covered in Section 8 of the Citizenship Act 1955. If an adult makes a declaration of renunciation of Indian citizenship, he loses Indian citizenship. In addition any minor child of that person also loses Indian citizenship from the date of renunciation. When the child reaches the age of eighteen, he has the right to resume Indian citizenship. The provisions for making a declaration of renunciation under Indian citizenship law require that the person making the declaration be "of full age and capacity."
Regards,

From the LA Times: A �forgery-proof� worker ID card, secured with biometric data such as fingerprints, is a favored idea of the new chairman of the Senate immigration subcommittee, Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.). Schumer, who will lead the effort to craft the Senate�s comprehensive immigration reform legislation, has publicly espoused the card as the best way to ensure that all workers are authorized. �The ID will make it easy for employers to avoid undocumented workers, which will allow for tough sanctions against employers who break the law, which will lead to no jobs being available for illegal immigrants, which will...

I already applied 485 with one I40 Priority date.
If I get my another labor approved with a old Priority date, can I amend my existing 485 with this new PD or should I be applying new 485 ?

I don't think its the same plane that will take you all the way. If I am not mistaken AI has a code share flying in to Paris and then you switch planes. the only transit destinations that you don't change planes according me with Air India are Frankfurt and London.

I am asking this question for relative of mine. I wanted to get some honest opinions.
My relative was manager in India for family company (extended family) for 3-4 years. He received visitor visa about 2 years ago, and subsequently arrived in US.
After taking extended tour of US, he felt that he could expand Indian company's business in US. His companied in India tried to open up business in US. He received L1A for 1 year. However, due to bad economy, business advantature wasn't successful.
He wanted to try to stay in US and try some other management position for established company. Subsequently applied for H1B. He recently received denial notice from USCIS.
Currently, original L1A is expired. L1A extension is pending (lawyer was late in filing, and only filed 7 days before expiration of original L1A).
Is he out of status at this point (expired L1A and denied H1B)? L1A extension is still pending.
What are his option if he wants to stay LEGALLY in US?
Please excuse my ignorance but I do not know much about immigrations, as I am US Citizen myself and never had to go through this grusome process.
I would also appreciate attorney's input.

Hey Alabaman,
First of all thanks for your reply.
No I haven't filed a tax return before, because there was no need. I started studying in August 2008 and remained most of 2009 in the US.
2 points:
1. So therefore I guess I'm a nonresident for 2009 (because I wasn't a lot in the US in 2008).
But I'm a resident for 2010 (because I was in the US almost all of 2009). With 2010 I mean the tax filling I'll have to do next year.
Am I correct with this reasoning? Does the substantial presence test only count for the next year?
2. Is it correct, that they took 25% of my sign up bonus away? I was an F-1 all of 2009.
Christian

I submitted an AR-11 (address change) form on 3/13/2008. The LUD changed the next day to 3/14/2008.
However, the LUD changed again yesterday to 3/17/2008. Has anyone had experience with AR-11 and LUD updates. If so, please share if multiple LUD updates are the norm for AR-11 changes....
Thanks.

Today, My H1B transfer got denied and waiting for denial notice. Employer is planning to appeal on denial case. (I am assuming that "Denial could be becasue of client letter was not furnished)
My Layer: Employer->Company A-> Primary Vendor -> Client
My I-94 is valid Nov-09-2009 based on previous employer petition. Previous employer notified USCIS on H1B termination.
On this, What would be best option.
1. File a new H1B case thru current employer (while is waiting for appeal result, as a back up plan)?
2. can I continue work for current employer since my I-94 is valid till 11/09/2009 and filling MTR?
3. Apply for H1B transfer thru primary vendor's sister concern?

Looks like the demand data does not include the backlog at NVC. How does it work? I am not familiar with the process. Any ideas...?
Please see my earlier posting:
Here is the latest snapshot of the backlog of EB applications:
EB1= 7,595 + 2,961 ( at NVC) + new applications.
EB2= 45,573 + 6,738 ( at NVC) + Huge backlog waiting in line.
EB3= 114,442 + 102,395 ( at NVC) + unknown backlog waiting in line.
*NVC stands for National Visa Center.
** Does not include service centers.
* Spillover to EB3 may not happen for several years due to a large number of EB2's waiting to submit their 485 applications.
* Even if spillover occurs, majority of them will go to EB3 Philippines (please See the NVC backlog).
* From the above, assuming no spillover to EB3-I, it would take (56,640 + 20,873)/2600=30 years.
* With spillover (lets say after 5++ years due to the pending EB2�s), it may take another 5 to 7 years to clear the EB3 backlog.

Thanks, Chandu.
Did you move to a different place or changed within the city where you currently live? I was reading an article yesterday and it said, if we move outside the area where we are currently located, it could trigger an RFE. I dont know how far its true.
Thanks!!

The other day, three guys, a Pakistani, an Indian, and a Czech, and one Serb girl (originally from the beautiful city of Belgrade) met the staff of their American lawmakers, to tell them about the problems faced by the EB-immigrant community due to backlogs and insanely low visa numbers for EB-greencards.
You can't get more American than this.
My experience with the meetings with the lawmakers' staff has been very positive. I approached it with nervousness; however, the staff has ALWAYS been extremely polite, sincere and encouraging. They listen to us, and engage in meaningful discussions and question answer sessions with us. Quite often, we are told that this was the first time that our point of view was being told to them. We ask them what advice they have for us. And they all ALWAYS tell us to (a) talk to other lawmakers and (b) call them frequently, as they provide daily totals and tallys on pro-vs-anti calls on different issues to their bosses.
So folks. We still have time. We have a few weeks. Please (a) join together and form state chapters, (b) educate yourself, (c) call the lawmakers offices (d) meet the lawmakers and (e) do all this within the next few days.
Too often we take a fatalistic approach towards issues. Other times, nervousness and fear renders us incapacitated. Be proud of the fact that we are a diverse group of high-skilled immigrants. We are educated professionals. We are doctors, engineers, scientists, and other professionals.
It is our duty, as intelligent and educated professionals, to tell the lawmakers that we are facing problems, and to request them to fix those problems, since they have the power to do so.

:confused:Here is another scenario -
485 filed 1 year back and have been working with the GC sponsoring employer since then ( on H1, did not use EAD).
Employer is not going to revoke approved I-140 even if i change Job/H1.
Now, can i use Advance Parole to travel while working for the new employer on a new H1?
Your inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna

Why is receipt date different on the I485/EAD.
I am reading some of the posts from other members.
Their receipt data on the EAD is different(at least 1, 2 months delayed) from the date USCIS actually received their application. I thought USCIS is going to honour the actual date when they received the application by mail.
It is obviously more than 2 months late for many of the applications.
If some one to use AC21 portability, what exact date is honoured? the date when USCIS received the application or the receive date printed on the EAD?
Is the date when USCIS received is stored some where?
In my case, I filed my I485 on July27 at TEXAS Service Center, I received a notice on Oct 6 from CALIFORNIA Service Center, Details below :
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Receipt Date : Oct 1, 2007
Notice Date : Oct 2, 2007
Current Status: This case has been sent to another office for processing because it has jurisdiction over the case.
On October 2, 2007, we transferred this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our TEXAS SERVICE 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.....
Now, I am not sure, what exactly is my Received Date. And how it went to California Center? I have confirmation from FEDEX tracking that it is delivered to Texas Center.

Since your attorney is not filing (No G28 is filed when you DIY). I did this and I got approval for both EAD/AP in a month's time.
Did you efile or paper file ???
Also did u receive any finger-printing notice ???

Your questions are valid....but either way, you must enter US ASAP on your AP (or have someone mail ytou your GC). The issue is that you are NOT totally free once you get GC because immediately leaving your sponsoring employer is a no-no and can cause your GC to be revoked or be an issue at the time of citizenship. It is advisable to stick to the employer for 6mts to 1 year after GC - if the employer is still functioning. Also, USCIS has increased employment place visits for recent GC approvals. :)
Thanks for your answer!^^
