No !! The answer is a big NO !! The stamping is just a mechanism so that you can travel abroad and come back without the need of a visa. Also, when they do the stamping, they also fill the form for getting the plastic card. So unless you get your passport stamped, the process for...

For me, the message changed to card ordered 2 weeks after stamping. Card received within a week of that. -Ramakriya

I was aproved on Mar 31st, but after having waited for almost 36 months, I think I qualify for admission ! I like the idea. -Ramakriya

Nothing to worry I guess .. laguna, I think the message from the info line can be ignored. I had the same message for several months. ( If I remember from Oct-Nov 2003) till the day it was approved on March 31, 2004. -Ramakriya wac-02-040-5****

For stamping, can I take my courtesy copy or should I wait for the original approval letter from my attorney ? Has any one used the courtesy copy ? -Ramakriya

Yes.. Starting from first FP, till ND/RD, all should be 2001 dates -Ramakriya

Just a minute ago I saw the magic words "This case has been approved. On March 31, 2004, an approval notice was mailed. If 14 days ..blah blah blah" It has been a long journey. Filed for LC 02/00 LC approved 08/00 I-140 filed 08/00 I-140 approved...

Your case seems to be like my wife's case too. Go to your doctor ; Either take the required shots or get a blood test to prove you are immune to whatever is on the list (varicella-mmr etc) and then get teh supplimental form for I-693 filled by the INS physician -Ramakriya

Depends on what your RFE is about. For me, my INS chest X-ray report said there is a scar that may have to be evaluated. BCIS wanted clearance on that. So I took another X-ray from my regular Doctor, took the report that there was no tuberculosis and then gave this to the INS certified...

Yes. received medical RFE Both me and my wife got RFE for medical one after the other (for I-693 supplimental form) Waiting after RFE has been received by BCIS on March 11th ..... -Ramakriya wac-02-040-5**** :(

I'm almost there The reply to my RFE received by BCIS on Dec 23 So almost 3 months. But After 1 month after my RFE was received, they issued an RFE for my spouse. The reply to that was recived BCIS on March 11th. So I don't know if that resets the clock back to 0 :-( -Ramakriya

1.Looking at the messages, it looks like it is taking between 3-6 weeks for approval after reply to RFE received. Anyone whose approval is delayed beyond this timeframe ? Reply to my RFE was recieved on Dec 23. on Jan 23, USCISissued a RFE for my wife. Reply to RFE received on March 11 as...

The fact that you have applied for AOS as a dependenant is immaterial here. You were in F1 till Feb 2004. Now that your H1 is approved (the OPT is tied to F1 status), you switch to H1as soon as that petition is approved. You'll just need to fill a form i-9 with your employer to indicate your...

Sorry for posting in the wrong forum, but there are no visitors in the non-immigrant visa forum so I thought someone here might know the answer. The instruction for filling I-539 says original or copy of I-94 is to be sent. I remember sending the original last time when I filled a I-539...
