Please advice me what to do i want to avoid attorney.
Hi
How did you come to know that your EAD and AP were rejected? When you dont have the receipt #? In my situation my stupid attorney didnt include the I-140 receipt number dont know if they will accept the rest of the application, my I-140 has been approved.

Hi, this is my first time in the forum and I wish to seek advice on my situation.
I'm a green card holder (singapore citizen) who got married while being a US PR. I wish to apply for my wife (singapore citizen) a green card.
How long is the typical wait?
See visa bulletin. Your case is Family Based (FB) 2A. Currently, it is at 01APR06 (i.e., the applications that USCIS received before 04/01/2006 are eligible to be approved). You need to study how quickly the dates move by going through VISA bulletins in the last 3-4 years, but my guess would be about 5 years.
Visa Bulletin for March 2010 (http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4659.html)
while applying, is it true that my wife can't enter the US?
AFAIK, not on the basis of her GC application, but if she gets another (dual-intent) VISA, say H1B, then she can enter US.
I kind of know the answers but would like to confirm with this forum. I know the situation can be pretty bleak.
Many many thanks,
After 5 years of being PR, you can become US Citizen. After you have become a US citizen, your wife's GC application will no longer be subject to a quota and she should get GC within a few months (processing time).

Guys,
I spoke to another Border Post official and he suggested that i drive uptp the nearest border and they would refuse my entry to Canada as i don't have a valid visa and i can turn around and come back to US and i can get a new I-94. Do you think it would be safe to do this ?
Any advices?

Under the new fee structure, does the NO FEE apply only to the initial set of AP documents or also to all the subsequent renewals of AP I-131 document.
Thanks.
It applies to all AP and EAD applications, not just the first one.

This is simple posturing and nothing more. Hispanic caucus CANNOT bring down healtcare reform. They have as much invested in the healthcare bill as anybody else in the Congress. They way I see it, this equates to a sucide threat if my friend won't shot at the enemy. All this to make a show to the hispanic population that hispanic caucus is doing something to push for the immigration bill. Nothing more. I would not weigh-in too much on this news item because its not for my consumption. This news is for the consumption of hispanic voters only.

In my case i am a consultant, and keep on moving like 8-9 months....... dont have any permanent address.............. i am sure a lot of ppl will be in the same position as i am............. so what are you guys doing for the addresses on the 485/EAD/AP..........
AFAIK, You can file AR 11 online. Once you are done with filing AR11, it will ask you all the applications on file with USCIS. If you give your receipt numbers, it will update the address associated with those applications.
To avoid any confusion as of now, (if your 485 and 693 has different addresses) attach an addendum explaining why you were medical was done in FL, while your permanent address is out of the DC area.
Just my thoughts, talk to your lawyer and see what he will say.

I have a question which I have been wanting to ask for a while, so if GC is for a future job then can someone incorporate a company and work for self on EAD/AC21. If there is query for ablity to pay then at that point can you have an offer from other company and work for that company for 6 months once you get 485 approved.
Greencard is for the future job you are going to do, after getting the green card.

Hunton Immigration and Nationality Law Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
On July 1, 2010, the Vital Statistics Office of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico began issuing new, more secure Puerto Rican birth certificates to US Citizens born in Puerto Rico. As of October 1, 2010, all certified copies of Puerto Rican birth certificates issued prior to July 1, 2010, will no longer be valid. Accordingly, the Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a press release providing guidance to US employers with regard to the I-9 process. For new employees, employers may continue to accept all Puerto Rican birth certificates through September 30, 2010; after that date, only the new Puerto Rican birth certificates (issued on or after July 1, 2010) we be acceptable for I-9 purposes. Therefore, as of October 1, 2010, employers must pay close attention to the issuance date of Puerto Rican birth certificates presented for I-9 purposes.
For existing employees, there is no need to re-verify the employment authorization of employees who previously presented pre-July 1, 2010, Puerto Rican birth certificates. Federal Contractors subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation E-Verify clause may continue to accept all Puerto Rican birth certificates prior to October 1, 2010, but beginning on that date, only the new Puerto Rican birth certificates issued on or after July 1, 2010, will be acceptable. Federal Contractors may not ask for the newer version during I-9 reverification of those individuals who previously presented the older version of the Puerto Rican birth certificates.
The USCIS memo can be found here (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=45e3285ca77fa210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD).

On your I-485 approval, H4 status is lost and no longer valid.
Incorrect!
If the person is out of country while on H1/H4 and I-485 is approved, he/she can enter USA on valid H1/H4 visa stamp and will be offered Deferred Inspection. In most cases, they have to report within 7-14 days to local USCIS for passport stamping.
I suggest that you get more details about Deferred Inspection with your attorney.

- H1B is good as long as employer-employee relationship is maintained, which in your case should be fine
- You may have issues with 140 approval (Just my opinion, I may be wrong)
- If you are considering H1 transfer, that may have issues as you may not have latest paycheck..

As far as I know, yes.
Your 3rd question is not correct. You will not get new visa until you get it stamped.

Hi,
I looked at the list of civil surgeons that approved by USCIS. I called some of them and everyone told me differently in pricing. The basic I693 test would cost around $$220, and if i need vaccines, It would be an addition cost. Like some said the MMR vaccine would cost $120, the other said $50
Lot of them said the cost for chicken pox vaccins is around $120 ( I dont have insurance). My parent is not really sure if I ever have chicken pox or not so incase I need one, DO you know where to get those shots cheaper? Thank you for your time!
go to your county health clinic and take the vaccinations. they are usually free or very cheap. you can then show the report to the uscis doctor to get a waiver.

Labor as such is not for a specific person (although you have to provide individual details for filing it), it is essentially for justifying a position within the company, so it's more company related than individual. Hence, USCIS allows transfers of labors as it is not bound to the individual for whom it was applied.

I would transfer to a visitor visa and then identify which university and course I want to join. Once I have all the things lined up I would hire a good attorney and file for a new F1.
Good luck.
hie,
i was on opt and my opt ended jan 24th 2009. i had applied to a masters program for spring 09. my old school ( where i did my bachelors) transfered my sevis information to my new school( where i was to start masters). however i decided to discontinue with my new school's masters program. i did not registered for classes. i told them that i would no longer want to pursue that particular masters anymore. i now want to join another institute for a short time. they require my sevis information in order to make an i20 for me. my new school( where i had applied for masters) says that they do not have an i20 for me since i cancelled my program. whichever institute i transfer to for future studies would require a copy of a current i20 from me for admissions.
now where does this situation leave me? am i out of status as of now? will i be able to transfer to any university/institute for my future studies?
Good luck.
