I am US citizen. My daughter is in USA under F-1 visa; I-20 expires in August 2012.
She’s 27 years old, unmarried. I’ve applied for I-130 in October 2010; the case is in Initial Review phase.
Questions:
1/ what could I do to keep her legally here beyond August 2012?
2/ can she apply to study at a different university than she is in now?

Hi

I am a 2012 Dv winner , i got the visa and will travel to US in August for 14 days for the first time
then will return home for urgent family commitment

I plan to apply for plastic green card once i arrive and return home , even if they hadn't send it
with my 14 days stay , it will go to my brother address in US and he will send it to me via express mail

My brother says , i cannot return home before they contact me to do biometrics finger scan

My question is , is it really that biometrics is required step ?? and if yes , can i do it in the time of application


Thanks

what are your chances of getting an i-485 (family based) approved by USCIS if you have been out of status for years. My lawyer claims it is feasible. If i try consular processing my case will be dead on arrival. My other option is to buy a plane ticket with the lawyer fees and application fees and save myself the headache.

Hello brothers and sisters,

I am going for CP in Ankara in June. I would very much appreciate if anyone who had done CP in Ankara could share me his/her experience.

And I have a few questions too.
I am a 4th year engineering student, speak good english and I fulfill all the other requirements for a DV visa. But I dont have any sponsor nor a job offer in US. And I only have half the amount of poverty guidelines in my account.

My plan is I will go there this summer and stay there for 3 months. May be Ill find a seasonal job or I will just have my vacation. Then I will come back to Ankara at the start of next semester to finish my school. I would like to know what my chances are.
Should I be honest and tell all my plan to the interviewer? Because I heard they dont like if someone has a potential to go back where they come from, which is Ankara in my case. But I will definitely go back to US after finishing my school and I will also be visiting during semester breaks so that my absence from US would not be over a year.

Or should I just say I will settle there and find a job and hope for the best?

Any suggestion would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

I am thinking of mailing my wife's N-400 tomorrow. My location is Fairfax, Virginia. However, she will need to leave for India in the mid of June.

Looking at the timelines on the tracker, it does not seem that she will be able to get her fingerprinting done before she leaves. If she gets her notice before she leaves, can I inform USCIS that she is out of the country and ask them to reschedule her fingerprinting. Should I call them or email them? Has anyone of you ever done it before?

Thanks!

It mentioned in the letter I need to bring "Any Immigration documents you may have"?
What is this really means?

Hi All,

I have filed (self) I-140 in March, 2011 and left US in Aug. 2011 due to personal reasons. Last week my I-140 has been approved (NO REF). I opted for AOS in the application and PDs are current. Now I am in India. I would like proceed with this GC procees, although I may not move to US immideately. What are my best options.


1. What is the validity period of approved I-140 under EB1-EA? Can I start processing say after a year or so?

2. I opted for AOS in the application, as I was not prepared to return to India at that time. Now I am in India and how to proceed with this.



thanks in advance.

I took only one trip outside US in last 5 years - a 3 day trip to Mexico. It was in December. And I should have put down the dates as 12/3/2010 - 12/5/2010. Instead, I made a stupid mistake and put the day first and month second as 3/12/2010 - 5/12/2010.

My interview is tomorrow. Any suggestion on how I should handle this? Thanks.

Hello all,

first my apologies for posting this very basic and may be a dummy question.

I have my I-485 filed in Dec 27, 2011 and received EAD in March 2012.

I will be completing the 180 period soon ( may be in a month or 2 months time )

Mt questions relating to AC-21 are:

1. Can I change employers and go full time immediately after the 180 day period?
2. what will happen if my employer interrupts such AC-21 move and eventually revoking the I-140 petition?
3. What is the process of converting / switching to AC-21 ?

Please take some time out of your busy schedules and respond to my post.
Thank you very much in in advance.

Best Regards,
VSMN

Dear Friends,

Let me take this opportunity to thank you all for the wonderful service! So nice of you…

My daughter, a US Citizen filed a petition for her husband in December 2011 who is from India but was working in Gulf and recently finished his work and moved back to India. I-130 has been recently approved! (It took about 5.5 months for the approval). We haven't received any notification but saw the status on USCIS website. Currently, my son-in-law lives in India and want to know what are the next steps to bring him over at the earliest?

My daughter is still in college and does not work. I will be joint sponsor and will fill Form I-864 and I-864A. In her I-864, she would not have any annual income - Question Number 23 of I-864 (Q22 - My current individual annual income is…). Is that okay to have $0 and joint sponsor to show his/her income to fulfill the requirements? Question 22, how do we show that she is still in college as it is related to only employment? Please guide me! As a joint sponsor, do I submit both I-864 and I-864A? Also, do we need to notarize these documents?

Thanks for your help!
