Hi all,
I am an American and my wife is going though the green card application process. We recently received our interview date. Unfortunately, it was scheduled one day prior to our wedding ceremony which is out of the country. Our wedding is being presided over by the mayor of a fairly large city, with like 300 or so guests and at this point would be impossible to change. At the same time I hear that mixing international travel and rescheduling green card interviews is a risky thing.

We have an infopass scheduled in two weeks, and beyond the supporting documents of our flight and wedding information, is there anything else we should bring to prove that we can't possibly be at this interview? Is this something a lawyer might be able to handle better (like have more credibility)?

Anyone willing to give odds on us successfully changing our interview date?

I put the Mamiya away and played with the 1D this week. Other than some levels adjustments and resizing, they haven't been altered.

I have a approved I140 from my current employer with prority date of may 2006. I had applied a labor long time back in Jan 2004 with another employer. This labor is approved now. Can I apply another I140 with the old empoyer without revoking the one that I have with the current employer as I want to stay with the current employer till I get the new I140 approved? Will applying the I140 with the old affect my current I140 approval.
Please help, I have to decide soon.

Really disappointing. Senator Schumer says on the one hand that the targeted companies are not violating the law and on the other says they are underpaying their workers - which would be a violation of the law. Which is it? And he disparages the entire staffing industry - an industry that in the US employs far more American citizens than immigrants - by questioning the legitimacy of the business model and complaining that these companies don't make anything. I'd remind Senator Schumer that most physicians at America's hospitals work for medical groups which are glorified staffing companies. Same for a...

It seems quite a few individuals with older priority dates from 2003 & 2004 are still waiting for a decision on their RiR cases (both state and regional) from Dallas BEC. It has been recently reported that many of these cases have received RFE's from BEC on a variety of issues (they might also have had an RFE at state or regional). I think it would be advantageous for all of us in similar situation if we can anonymously post the type of RFE's we receive and possible ramifactions for the same.

If some one knows of a similar thread elsewhere please provide a link, that way we can avoid duplicates.

My paper filed EAD ( and for my wife as well) has been pending since June 20th.

We called USCIS yesterday separately and both times they insisted that we needed biometrics and created SR for that.

Any one else had similar experience.?

Also I was trying to search for the Thread that has suggestions / steps to take to expedite the EAD. I think I'd qualify for severe financial hardhip since both of us will have to stop working if EaD doesnt come by October 18th.

Can some one point to that thread.

I'm currently moving back to Northern Idaho and am trying to finally get my foot in the door as a photographer. Basically I've emailed some companies asking about the need for a part/full time photographer. Of course, they are all interested in sample shots (not a problem) and rates :confused:. I don't know what to say on the rates part. I've searched through the old threads, but didn't see any. Roughly, what is a normal rate? Keep in mind It's not a huge city (pop. 32,000,not including surrounding areas).

You can only change the name on the visa by applying for a new visa. Since that is probably impractical and too much trouble, I recommend keeping the visa as is until you need a new one. If the name on your other documents is your married name, you can carry a copy of your marriage cert. to show the reason for the difference.

Background:
We received AOS interview letters for attending an interview at the local USCIS office next month.

Today, I received an email saying that "Notice Returned as Undeliverable" only for my spouse. We have not changed the mailing address and we are not expecting any docs from USCIS.

Question:
1. Who screwed up? Is it USPS or USCIS?
2. What notice could this be?
3. How would I resolve this (From a quick search, it appears that simply giving customer service a call will not help)

Any help is really appreciated!!

One thing is clear just lecturing members to go meet up with the lawmakers is NOT working. IV needs to come up with some fresh ideas, I mean, we all need to come up with new ideas.

Lets start brainstorming again. Here is a start

1. Some how IV meets with the president or his staff and requests visa recapture an interim fix. Ask for visa lottery numbers to be allocated to EB numbers for 3 years
Ask for relaxation in rules for changing jobs.

2. Run full page or a big advertisement in a national daily asking for the above. I am sure people will contribute if IV takes initiative.

3. Get USCIS working on our FOIA request asap. Complain to the president about it.

4. Legal action

The week's news dealt a body-blow to the prospects for comprehensive immigration reform, as if the movement to fix our broken immigration laws were blind-sided in a collision with a former pinup driving a pickup -- which it was. With the election of new Massachusetts Senator, Scott Brown, to take the seat of the late Ted Kennedy, the godfather of more humane and just immigration laws, supporters of CIR (Comprehensive Immigration Reform) are swallowing their sadness and putting on their game faces, saying there's still no stopping the CIR train from arriving at its destination. It's hard to maintain optimism,...

I am thinking of changing my job. In my new job I don't want to use my EAD since my AP status is still hanging. Can I keep working on H1-B visa as I still have 3.5 years left on my H1? If I travel outside the country, can I re-enter with a valid H-1B visa? Can this cause an abandonment of AOS if I enter on H-1B while my AOS is pending? Please let me know. Thank you.

Most of the shots given are booster shots. Two MMR shots?
Varicella needs to be taken twice at 1 month intervals, however most doctors sign and seal the package when you take the first varicella shot and then ask you to come back one month later and take the 2nd shot, if not, you can insist the doctor to do so.

Needed shots are MMR, TD and Varicella, all others are Age unappropriate for us(atleast the applicants and spouses).

Is it the one saying that "OPT is requested" ? I filed a bunch of papers during OPT application but whatever reason my International officer never wants to explain anything to us students and I've to search everything on the internet. I'm applying for a driver's license test and want to know what I-20 would be needed.

Also, my employer is willing to file my H1-B. Should I tell him to file it this year or the next year ? They also signed up for everify recently.

I'm on OPT right now ,i'm done with my masters in DEC 2007.

My visa Stamp in my passport was only untill april 2008(I got F1 stamped only for 18 months), now i'm on OPT extension.I applied H1B in 2008 and got RFE my employer could not answer the RFE and revoked my petition.

I did't apply in 2009 even i have chance to apply(because of the JOB fear ) my OPT extension is going to end in June 2010 , any way i will be applying H1b in 2010.

My question is if i don't get H1B in 2010 ,my plan i to take CPT and search for jobs ,does it effects my future immigration any way.

My Posti is too long but try to understand i'm student and can't efford going to a attorney for this sort of questions.

The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution mandates an inclusive mathematical formula for apportioning "Representatives . . . among the Several states". It requires a decennial census count of "the whole number of persons in each State" excluding untaxed Native Americans. As the New York Times reports, a push is on, using Christmas-themed posters in Spanish, to urge Hispanics (citizens, legal residents and the undocumented, especially Evangelical Christians) to cooperate with census-takers and be counted when the tally begins in March, 2010. The effort is targeted beyond the Hispanic community, with posters offered in English ("This is How Jesus Was...

I have 2 questions.

- With the PD becoming current, my wife's 485 will get applied anytime within the next month or so by her company lawyers. My GC is just about to be started. I will be adding my name to the 485 application of my wife. Does my GC application date has to do anything with this? I mean if my GC is applied before my wife's 485 (and my name added) or after my wife's 485(my name added), does it have any affect on either one's processing?
- Another question is does the H1-B extention for 3 years can happen after I-140 application or I-140 approval?
