I had an appointment at Mumbai Consulate on Jan 5th , 7th year ext. Since my I 797 approval date and stamping date was too short ( 1-2 weeks ) USCIS or DOS failed to update info in PIMS on time. I got yellow slip after few basic questions and told to wait for 2-3 biz days. I informed my lawyer in USA and he made contact to DOS there and ask them to update record. Also I had renewed my Indian passport since I applied for I 797 so they had old pp no in record. Lady from DOS promised to work on my case but didn't give any definite time limit.

but I got reply from Consulate on 4th biz day. Submitted passport via local VFS office and with in 3 days got it back. I think if you contact DOS it would take less time , otherwise 2-3 weeks is normal and 4 weeks or longer is for some rare cases. As long as your history is clean nothing to worry even it takes 3-4 weeks.

Whom did the lawyer contact in DOS. Did he tell you? It will help if we know.

The HR is not willing to give a letter in the format I requested. I heard opinions from different forums that in situations like this, a colleague's letter would be sufficient.

Also, do I need to submit TWO letters from each company?

I would like to share my I485 experience.

1.Brief History and Denial reason.

Did I485 interview at local office in Jan 2009.
Got Denial notice stating that I485 filed when dates are not current.
This is not true. Filed I 485 in 2007 July Fiasco.
Immigration office recived application in AUg 2007, well before deadline Aug 17'2007.
Got I485 receipt in October.

it was denied due to clear error.

2. Filed Service MTR with out filing Fee ( as this is service error)
Did not get any communication for 3 months.
In between took info pass couple of times and it did not help.

Wrote letter seeking help of senator explaining situation.

Immediately got reply that case was reopened and I797 Notice of action was mailed to me stating that case was reopend and finger prints expired.

Did finger printing in May.

Since dates are not current, I am not expecting any approval.
AT least I am happy that. case was reopened.

I heard that some 485 was denied ( 2007 July Fiasco) due to same error. I posted this experience as it would be helpfull for any other denials cases.

Good thing. Please let me know if you are interested in helping IV in a new campaign addressing issues similar to this? Send me a private message with your contact info and I will contact you.

All they said was that you do not have enough ties in India and you will work there.
It sounds very lame to me.

I wonder how people will come up with such questions, i never even thought about it. And i dont think it's a problem. It's just my opinion per my experience.

May be I wasnt clear in my query. Here is the situation:

I am on 8th yr H1B extension. Got my LC approved, got EAD, finger printing done. So now just waiting for 485 to be approved. And if I lose my job to a layoff.....what are my options?


So an H1B transfer will still work out in my case?

Hello,

I have an unfortunate situation. My parents names are misspelled in the Birth certificate compared to the Passport parents name page. Do we need to submit the parents names page of the passport when we submit our documents for 485 ?? Please let me know if this will be a problem and if there is a work around for this ??

Also if I have a Birth certificate (with my actual full name - dated in 2007 though), do I need to submit the affidavits ??


Thanks
It would be better to get affidavits from your parents ,if u submit without affidavits u might get a RFE and this might delaying your process.

Bump ^^^

plus sidlees english is even poor. I wonder how he has been keeping his job.

Sidbee,

thank you sidbee and i would pray that you would never be in this position. Its hard to stay home without at job and secondly, with H1B laidoff its even tougher.

I was laidoff recently and i know the stress one goes through. That's the reason i am trying to help by making a IVjobhunters group. I have found my job and i have nothing to gain.

Sidbee if you cannot talk good or help please shut your mouth. . If someone is asking for help ( Laidoff means Was terminated from work for no reason of yours).

You have the right to ask your employer for one way return ticket to your home town. Its not just the international airport but till your home town, Its a law and you should get it.

I was laidoff and i took unemployment benifits, Sidbee, Give me a lecture.

I tried that info from but that info is not complete. I know there are more people on IV site than any where else so thought of doing this poll.

Thanks
I meant IV tracker, I hope everyone here is aware of it and entered their details. This will help a lot with analysis. I encourage everyone to check IV tracker in addition to participating in this poll.

Hi Prasanthi,

In the denial letter they stated that
"The beneficiary may remain in the current immigration status until date indicated on Form I94.. ". My I-94 is valid till sep 30 2009 .... so even though my H1b transfer got denied ,will that save me from being out-of-status?

Hello-

1) Is it possible to allow minimum ONE TIME contributions like $10?
2) Is it possible to allow minimum RECURRING contributions like $10?

When I am talking to my friends, we felt that the above things increase the
Contributions. We are also thinking that it is easy to ask friends to contribute if there are no limits on the contributions.

If I am correct there are more than 25,000 Members. If there are 10% of active members and each contribute $10 we get another $25000 that is required for the Bill.

My Contributions:
$50 Recurring Contributions from Nov 07.
Contributed $100 for the DC Rally.
$25 to the local Northern California Chapter in Oct 07.
Contributed to AILF $100 during the July visa bulletin time.

Please advice on the issue above as i want to take this route to work 2 jobs. Thanks.

Bump!!


Old filing fee and form if filed by 8/17
No negative side other than a few days delay for them to match it up against your I-485

I-485 could be from family based, EB1 and ROW categories. I dont all these became Unavailable on July 2nd. Also you are right, USCIS didnt reject applications even though they came in between July 2nd and 17th.

I got it correct yesterday .
Thanks for the advice.

In that case, just do the best you can,
This type of issue used to be answered and helped by unitednations
In fact he was a miracle worker when it came to A2P. I haven't come across posting from him in a quite a while but do check archives from IV and immigrationportal. You need someone of his knowledgebase

Goto the SSA office in person, you will be done in an hour or less. No mailing hazzles.

Do we have to go in person to the SSN office to apply for SSN based on EAD for a person who's on H4 before ?

You can get a 3 yr extension. However, if you happen to go for stamping, I would advise to get it done in your new PP, if possible. Depending on which Indian Embassy's jurisdiction you fall under, you can apply for PP renewal within 1 year to 6 months of your PP expiry. Note that the renewal process might take anywhere between 4 - 8 weeks.

Hi,

On my and my wife's AP cases, we got an update today. It says on 10/30 USCIS mailed the documents to applicant.

I take that as approved. I guess the AP docs go to attorney's office, correct?

Thanks
