Hi,
When did you apply the card. Was it NSC or TSC and did you e-file.
Thanks.
They are just mistaking his EAD card for PR card. My EAD was approved on April 27 and the status says
"Card production ordered/Oath Document sent".
It is just misleadig for a lot of people they can misread it as the PR card.

My son was on B1 and then on H4. B1 was stamped in 2000 for 10 years. He was with me in US for 4 years and had 1 stamping of H4 in his passport after 2000. He moved to Canada in 2005 but still visits me on B1 which was issued to him before his H4 stamping and B1 was never cancelled. I am not sure about L1..
RV
When I went for H1B stamping my B1 was cancelled and I was told one can not have more than one visa at the same time.

This is Off-Topic, sorry about that, but this is the best forum i could think of to ask this:
My father-in-law is visiting us from India, and he is thinking of driving a car here. He drives in India and I think in a couple of weeks (with maybe 2-3 classes with some instructor) he should get the hang of driving. Are there any risks that anyone knows of with this? (if he makes a mistake and ends up in an accident I understan that we end up being personally liable and can even be sued if there is an injured party).
Edit: This is in California
I have myself driven a lot in many states on B1/B2, All the car rental agencies on mostly international airports cater to visitors on B1/B2.When i came to US for the first time on business, i drove around 3000 miles just on weekends :-)
If the Locals DL of your FIL is not in english, you need a International Drivers Permit, from your country.IDP is just an english transalation of your local drivers licence,and is not valid without the original DL.
The only problem i see, is that your insurance would not cover him(mine required the authorized driver to have a US licence).if he just wants to drive for fun, you better rent him a car with CDW and Liability insurance.Its expensive but its safe.
And i personally don't agree that fines could be 3 times...all the silicon valley visitors would be screwed.
Please contact your local DMV, for information. I have just told you my experience and i may be wrong.

Ok , just got off the phone with my lawyer.He says we can not file a I485 because the priority date is not current. EB3 is showing 01OCT01 and we can only file that form the bulletin is showing April2002. He says we are not eligible for that...
So now you are getting a feel of the whole mess we all are into. Welcome to the club!
Anyways, from all your posts I gather that your wife's GC application is in EB3 category with a Priority Date (PD) of April 2002.
You've never mentioned your country of citizenship but as of July 2006, the PD is not current for any one. Check out the bulletin at: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1770.html
Click on July 2006 and scroll all the way to the section of "Employment Based" Table. The first column (employment based) of this table lists categories. Yours, EB3, is 3rd. Now, depending on your country of citizenship you can check the available PD. Department of State updates this web page every month but because of current retrogression problem there is not a lot of movement for EB3 PD's.
You have other options like changing your employer and porting your PD to the new employer. Search in the forums for "Porting Priority Date" for more information. You should talk to your lawyer about this possibility.
Good Luck!

Increase in H1B with out corresponding increase in visa numbers is bad for us. But the industry is all for it. They will get a ton of slave labor for the next 5-10 years.
Somebody needs to look at the issue of mismatch between increased H1-Bs and visa numbers for greencards. Otherwise the current green card backlog for some EB countries will only widen leading to untold suffering for people from many countries. Maybe they should have a new visa similar to H1 but which does not allow the holder to apply for a green card. The better solution is of course recapture of visa numbers. Simply increasing the H1-B quota will be quite detrimental.

Hi,
My wife is waiting on her H-1B approval. She is on a H-4 currently. The company that sponsored her H-1B is an american fortune 500. This will be her first H-1B and she is in the USA for 11 months now. I have a few questions:
1. To apply for the SSN she would need the original I-797 and the I-94, correct?
2. After she applies at the SSN office, will she be able to see the number immediately (and wait for the card) ?
3. How long does it normally take them for issuing a SSN for a person like her? (H-4 to first time H-1B)?
Thanks in advance.
Sagittarian,
Did your wife work before in India? How did fortune500 apply for H1?Did they attach client letter during H1 application?

I have similar question about EB2 and experience with current employer
I came from China, so EB3 are really bad comparing with EB2
As I know I could not use experience at my current employer (Company A) to fill EB2, can I find a consulting company (Company B) who willing to sponsor my EB2, while still work for Company A (through Company B)?
Will that be some problem, or is it legal?

I'm in CA and my I-140 was approved by TSC (E-filing) and I-485 is pending at TSC (was filed at NSC initially).
here are my questions, I need help on...
1. If I file EAD now, where should I file?? TSC or NSC?
2. If its NSC (since I'm live in CA), will this filing trigger transfer of case from TSC to NSC??
who wants to be mess with NSC :)
Thanks,
Where you filed I-485 is not a criteria to select where the EAD application should be submitted (renewal or first time). Just check the state and supporting service center and file it there. I filed my I-485 in Nebraska alongwith first time EAD and AP. But now (as written in I-765 instructions), I need to file it in the service center that processes my state (Georgia). Hope it helps.

[I apologize for starting a non-immigration related thread on this personal question.] I am trying to quickly book a US-India Lufthansa flight via Frankfurt for June travel, and the one I am looking at gives me 2-hr stopover (+30mins for boarding) at FRA in between connections, in the same terminal, on the return leg of the trip. My question to those of you who recently traveled via FRA is whether 2-hr is long enough to make the connection. I haven't had such a trip in a while, and not up-to-date with any additional (passport/immigration) verification procedure at this airport. I do know FRA does not require a transit visa.
Thanks a bunch for your time.
Cheers,

We guys were discussing proposal for 485 adjudication during retrogession and these guys(USCIS) are moving backwards. Man..when this will end?
USCIS never talked about "proposal for 485 adjudication during retrogression"
People were writing their fantasies on this newsgroup

forgot.. another nice feature of Painter 6.0 at least and I assume of 7.0. It will use any Photoshop plugins. Likewise it will import and export to Photoshop's psd format. I really believe that the programs are both good and are fated to be used together.
for instance.. the magic wand tool in painter does not even come close to the one in Photoshop.

Hi-
My H1-B expires in August 2011. My I-94 was stamped only until May 20, 2011 because my passport was expiring early. Now I have a new passport.
In March 2011, I also applied for a renewal of my Advance Parole(AP) and EAD and they are still pending approval.
I am planning on travelling to Canada next week by road(through Detroit) to get my I-94 renewed. So If I travel to Canada, will my AP application be considered abandoned?
Also, can I just cross into Canada by road, wait for a couple of hours and come back into the US to get a new I-94. I know usually you don't surrender your I-94 when visiting Canada for less of 30 days.
I am hoping I would be able tell the Canadian/US immigration officer that I need a new I-94 and hopefully surrender my older I-94 and get a new one when coming back in. Please let me know if thats not possible and I need to fly to Canada to get a new I-94.
Thanks
You may try going to the nearest CBP office. We had the similar situation (except our visa on the passport was expired) and visited nearest 3 CBP offices. Two offices said that since it is not CBP's fault you have to extend the validity of I-94 via I-539 but the third office issued a new I-94 without asking any questions.
Technically they only fix the errors made by their officers but they can do it if they want.
Since you have a valid visa on your passport so you have an option to go out of country and come back with new I-94 or you may try visiting CBP office.
If you plan to visit CBP office, use the word error not correction- just staple both passport together and hand over along with I94 and I797 and point them to the date of I94 vs I797 and let them interpret.
