No Title No, I did not call the IIO. I tried for several days to get through to their number but of no avail. So, when I went for passport stamping I asked what I should do for change of address. The INS officer gave me a "Permanent resident inquiry form" (I don\'t remember the number...

No Title Any more input to this situation Thanks

Has anyone had their plastic cards forwarded to your new address after an address change? Does the USPostal service forward the green cards? Any input will be greatly appreciated. My card has already been sent by VSC. I haven\'t given a change of address to VSC. Thanks in advance.

No Title If your case is approved and you have an approval notice from VSC, the INS does not ask you any questions. Our (my wife included) passport stamping took less than 5 minutes. The lady at the counter asked for passports and past and current EAD cards and Advance Parole documents. Gave it...

Does anyone know about a Desi company by name HTC Inc, based in Detroit Michigan? Did anyone have any kind of bad experiences? Why do Indian companies ask for Social Security Number in the very first call they make?

No Title Hello P_O. I was in the same situation as you are (or you will be). Since you have an EAD, you are NOT out of status. Since you have already completed 180 days you are safe too. The BIG question is what if you don\'t get a job. It has been the practice of VSC to ask for an employment...

No Title I would like to know too. Thanks

No Title Bhanu, Why are you discouraging to use the unemployment benefit? If anyone knows how it works, I would be very glad to know that
