My mother-in-law came on a single entry visitor visa. She was given 6months stay at port of entry. I am planning to file an extension. My question is if I file an extension now (for 3 months) will she have problems when she applies for a visitor visa in Chennai next time. Thanks P

I was browsing the boards and found these links http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=146227&highlight=visitor http://www.immihelp.com/visas/extend.html

Thanks for all the inputs. My attorney says that 1. Since my wife is in legal status since her last entry there is a valid reson to fight the case. 2. Pay $1000 and take advantage of 245i since my labor was filed before Apr-2001 These are the same 2 points imwatcher mentioned in his...

imwatcher123 thanks for your responses. What the immigration officer says is her visa/I-94 expired in May'2001 and revalidation was not filed until January'2002 (which is 8 months). If it's just 6 months she would have been eligible to pay a fine and become legal. Since it's more than 6...

Her visa expired after 6 months, did not file an extension till Jan'2002. Mailed passport to St. Louis for revalidation in Jan'2002, passport was stamped with a new visa. We went to India in Feb'2002 and came back March'2002. Travelled to Europe couple of times after that. Her last entry into...

This is kind of complicated. Her H4 did not expire in 2002. Her first visa was issued in Chennai (for 6 months) in Oct'2000. Did not file a H4 after the expiry period instead I got it revalidated from the State Dept. in Jan' 2002. She is in the US all that time. Thanks P

Here is my situation. My wife came to the US on H4 (valid for 6 months) in Oct'2000. I did not know that she had to file for H4 when the 6 month period expired. In Jan'2002 I got her passport revalidated by the State Dept. Then we went to India and after that we travelled to Europe couple of...

Thanks Sri. Since my appointment is on the 6th in Dallas, I am gonna try to go to the Baltimore ASC on Thursday and see if they let me get fingerpritned.... if not I'll fly to Dallas. Thanks again Pilla

I filed my I-485 from Texas in Nov' 02. Moved to Maryland last month... did not update my address... INS mailed finger printing notice (appointment date is 6th Oct) to the old address and was returned as not deliverable. My attorney received another copy and forwarded it to me. My question...

Hello, BCIS issued an RFE (ability to pay) on my I140 application. My attorney answered the query last week. I don't have good terms with my attorney and I want to handle my 140 on my own. How do I do that, do I need to call the INS to change it? if so what do I tell the INS officer? has...

Thanks for your reply laborpain . My company financials are pretty good for the last 3-4 years they never showed loss. 120 employees and around $20mil turnover. Will keep you updated. Thanks again

Hi All! I received an RFE on my I140. INS wants proof on 'ABILITY TO PAY' and wanted all the tax returns/financial documents since my labor was filed(Apr 2001). They also asked my w2's for 2001 and 2002. The problem is when my labor was filed my pay was $95000 so 2001 w2 shows $99800 ($95000 +...

Hi Guys! Checked my 140 online status this morning and I see a RFE was issued. Don't know what the RFE is about I'll call my attorney monday morning. If the RFE is about paystubs I am in trouble b'cause I am not being paid for the last couple of months but if it is about Company financial...

Hi Vault! I filed for EAD and AP rd is Nov'04-2003. Still waiting for the approvals. Thanks for your reply

Hi sg94ahpw! I didn't go for iEAD since my employer refused to give a letter stating that I am currently employed with them. My 6year period is expiring on the 14th of April and I assumed the Immigration officer would for sure ask for the employment letter. My question is when I talked to my...
