I filed my EAD online for the first time on May 9th. Yesterday I got an approved card for my wife and I. It is interesting how fast that came and that I did not need to send pictures nor did I go for fingerprinting. My initial finger printing and picture taken for 485 was used to give me the EAD
However, NSC issued the EAD for 1 year only. I called up help desk and asked them why 1 year and not 2 years. They checked their records and saw I was eligible for 2 year, then they transferred me to Level 2 support. The Level 2 support after looking at my case, put me on hold for sometime and then came back and said, the period of EAD was done at the discretion of NSC. So if I do not want it, I should send it back and ask them to reopen my case.
Guys any advise or should I wait for 1 year and hope next year they will issue a 2 year EAD?? I really do not want to send my EAD back...

Guys: With economy in such a bad state, how do you think he can even think about the immigrants. People are being laid off every day. I can see anger building on the face of Americans when they see foreigners. It will be a while before our voices are heard.

I believe you know that re-entry permit is required only beyond 1 year.
I will say, don't wait. Have some documentation ready regarding your "emergency need" to be out of USA. Also have some documentation to prove your intention to permanently reside in US.
In case the officer asks some question. Just be prepared to answer, and clarify that you have proper intention to continue residing permanently in US.
Sir,
I got my green card on Feb'2008 and had to make emergency travel to my country Mexico to be with my family on August'2008. Now, I would like to come back after 10 months of stay in Mexico. The problem is that I do not have any permanent residence/car/Electricity bill to prove my permanent residency status except VOIP phone and paid my tax for the last 6 years promptly. Is it possible for me to make it to USA? or Should I wait for 2 more moths and file for Visa reentry permit in local embassy and come there if I get one?
Please advice me.
Thanks,
Juang.

With the recent implementation by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) allowing concurrent filing of Form I-360 Religious Worker Petition and Form I-485 Adjustment of Status Application, most applicants want to know what documents to submit with an adjustment of status (AOS) application.
Persons with a pending I-360 religious worker petition are now eligible to file an AOS application before September 9, 2009. The AOS application is used by persons who are in the United States to apply with USCIS to adjust to permanent resident status.
Along with the Adjustment of Status Application on Form I-485, one must remember to submit:
a copy of the I-360 receipt notice,
two passport style photos,
a copy of the applicant’s passport,
a copy of the applicant’s birth certificate (along with a certified English translation if the document is not in English), and
a medical examination report performed by a designated civil surgeon.
If an AOS applicant has ever been arrested then a court-certified copy of all arrest records and the final disposition of the case is required (excluding traffic tickets).
Individuals between the ages of 14-79 are also required to submit a Biographic Information Sheet on Form G-325A.
The most important thing to remember before sending the AOS application is the filing fee! Do NOT forget to submit a check or money order to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the amount of $1010. No additional fee is required for Form I-765 Employment Authorization Application and for Advance Parole on Form I-131 if filing with an AOS application.
Call us at 214-999-9999 and we will be happy to answer your questions.

Hi
I'm currently working on L1B visa from company A. My present employer applied H1B visa also for me and it got approved around in the August last year. Now I'm planning to change my visa status to H1B.
So I would like to know the options that I have to get my visa status changed to H1b.
1) Can I transfer my H1B to some other company now as my H1B already approved? Is it possible?
If it is, how can I change my status?
2) What is the procedure if I have my current employer do my visa status changed to H1B? Do I need to leave US and come back to take that effect?
Please kindly reply to my questions.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
My Case:
I am planning to travel to India from 11-March till 27-March and my current petition(VISA) ends on 5-April. My company already filled for the extension process (on 30-Jan).
Three possible scenarios
1. If I get the extension approval before leaving to India, do I have to set up a stamping slot at the US consulate in India or can I just carry the new petition and while entering back in US just show that to the immigration officer.
2. If the approval comes on 26-March, what should I do, can I still travel to US without the new stamping.
3. If I dont get the approval till 27-March, can I travel to US with my old petition without any problem?
Thanks in advance
Gopi

If you do take FOIA route, it will take at least 8-10 months to get the documents. So, better do it ASAP.

There is a quirk in the SSA software! I applied for SSN for my two sons on August 31, 2007. Two weeks later I got the card in the mail for one son. After waiting another three weeks I went back to the SSA office and found that the application for the second son had been deleted! I was asked to resubmit the application which I did. After two weeks the card arrived in the mail but guess what? The card had my second son's names but the SSN already assigned to the first son.
Another trip to the SSA office revealed that their system would assume it's the same person if the first three letters of the first name and the first three letter of the last name as well as address match! Who would design such a matching algorithm? Why did they not match on birth date as well?
Anyway, I went back to the SSA office today and a new number is yet to be assigned to my second son! I was told the application is now with their headquarters where someone will manually assign the number.

I talked to an attorney and he said that she can file but likelihood of getting another extension is very low.
Talk to a competent attorney. Medical reasons are seen as EXCEPTIONAL cases by USCIS. If the illness is serious enough she will be given preferential treatment and might get visa waiver for the duration of her treatment. A proper attorney can advise further.

I recently applied for a PAN Card. Got a DD through my parents in India and sent the form. Today they sent a mail with following --
1) We are yet to receive payment for application.- Kindly e-mail Cheque /DD no. and date on which amount has been debited from your account
2) Photograph provided is not proper for scanning.
Have any one faced similar problem ? A valid DD was included and they say they did not receive the payment ?? Also, the photo was of right size and clear enough so I am not sure what else to do.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
check with your bank whether they cashed the DD. tell them DD is lost - they might cancel old one & issue new one.
Photograph - no idea. call them & find out.

& who r u..... publicist for anti immigrants...... y r u doing ads for anti immigrants.....
what makes you think that i am an anti-immigrant, and do you think that i am giving publicity. this is from an ad that i came across that says that 1.5 million immigrants are being brought into the country to work annually. i wanted to bring this to the attention of the forum so that we can do something to stop this false information propagation. otherwise, think about the hatred the american public will have when the time comes for CIR to be implemented. for every call we make, there will be 10 calls to oppose. unless we stand up and fight the misinformation, we are not going to see any progress. and maybe it is easy for you to label anyone as an anti-immigrant being an EB2. I lost out on my 2001 PD due to the mistake of my lawyer and am now saddled with a 2004 PD. Easy for you to talk, when you dont know the issues that those of us who are languishing for more than 10 years here are going through.

I'm in my 3rd year of my first H1-B which will be expired Sep. 2011.
If I transfer my H1-B now to another company, then do I automatically get another 3 years or do I have to file an extension after my H1-B has been transferred?
Thanks

Hello seeking_GC,
It appears you changed jobs using AC21 and went on to receive your GC. If correct, could you please post your timeline and experience?
Thanks.
I guess posting this was the trigger for USCIS to send the approval. I got the CPO mail in my email a few mins ago!
Hugely Relieved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let me know if someone else is in the same situation and I can tell my timeline.
