Hi Folks,
This forum helped me a lot for all of my immigration needs. Old member but never posted anything yet.
I had my fingerprints done at Santa Ana, DO, on 05/15, and I noticed that except for me there are no one there. I asked the clerk about it, and she said it is due to the recession, as people can't afford to pay the fee. Did any one experienced the same?
I have heard a romour, that they are segregating the family based petitions for GC, by the country of origin. :( That's the reason why, they are denying petitions, of people origin from Indian sub-continent, on some excuse or other. I hope this is a romour. Any thoughts folks ?

I went to my fingerprinting in downtown Pittsburgh back on May 15 and I was the only one there. There were the two clerks / fingerprint techs plus the security guard at the door. Must be really boring to work there. Once I was done, two oriental women had come in for their fingerprinting but yeah not a lot of action at these application support centers.

Got AP!!!

Yahooooooooo!!! :) Got my Advance Parole Today!! Seems like the DHS officials are really moving things fast. Got my AP in 41 days.
Quich question folks: With an AP can I reenter US, even though, I am no longer on my H1-B status. I got my H1-B visa stamped in January 08 for a period of three years. I filed my petition for AOS (I-130,485) through family member (Spouse) in April and got laid off on May 25. Will I be able to re enter US after my honeymoon, even though, I am no longer in H1-B status?
Your Ten cents will really help me.
 
Hello Everyone, I have two updates today. ONE, I got my Advance Parole document(I don't know, why they mailed me two AP documents). TWO, my online EAD status says "Card production ordered". So, I am hoping I will get my EAD in a week or so.

I have a question about my AP. It has two boxes at the bottom, on one box, It has my picture and other one is blank, is it suppose to same with everyone?
 
Hi Vijay,
Mine looks the same too. I believe that it is where the official at port of entry stamps, but I am not sure.
Can any one please answer my question. I'd apprecitae your help.

USCIS always issues two copies of AP document just in case one gets lost or damaged...at least that's how it was until 2 years ago...So I assume that's how it's still.

Hi sweetcitywife, we would definitely like to help you, but your case seems to be a bit complex relative to some of us, and I assume some of us in this thread are first timers(like me). I would suggest to you to start a new thread in case, if you are not satisfied with the help you get here. By doing so, you request will be exposed to more people and then 'response' will be high. I wish you goodluck and hope for a quick & easy process
 
Hi Sweetcitywife,

I know one person who filed I-130 alone first and then waited to be come US citizen to file AOS package, His name is "amneni" and you will find him in "March2009 filers" post and you can send him personal message, Other day i reached out to him to get to know why he filed I-130 while is on LPR status and waited until he become USC to file AOS package.

Thanks
