    Physicaltherapist......can I apply for GC now?...complicated situation

    If the law hasn't changed, you should be able to get EAD without visa screen. You need visa screen for the final GC stage, which is I485. Double check with your lawyer.

    Social Security Number

    When I went to SSA to update my change of status, they took our SSN card. The new cards took 2 weeks to come in mail, not too bad.

    Infopass - take appointment soon!!

    You can only use the same name once. What we did was to use my spouse's name to login and see if there is an earlier appointment. That way you didn't need to cancel your appointment first.

    Credential Evaluation for Physical Therapists

    Yes. You need to finish all the credentialing before they will send you a notice to make an appointment to sit for the exam.

    Physical Therapist CA, work options?

    You don't need to get the actual license in order to apply visa screen. There is a form you need to send to CA board and they will verify your license and send it directly to CGFNS/FCCPT. Don't use CGFNS, they are severely inefficient. Customer service are horribly poor. It took me 6 months...

    Infopass - take appointment soon!!

    For San Jose office, from my experience, they usually show/display appointments for 2 days only. And those are the earliest appointments they have. Occasionally, if people cancel their appointment, and if you're lucky enough to catch it, you may be able to get an appointment the next day...

    Credential Evaluation for Physical Therapists

    No, I think it is mendatory to verify your education because they will approve your exam application. They won't even let you apply for NPTE if your education is not satisfactory.

    How long to get plastic card after PP stamp in SJ office

    As I predicted, both me and my spouse got our physical green card in mail today! Exactly 2 weeks from stamping in SJC! I am seeing more and more people getting it within 2-3 weeks. I think it is reasonable to call CSC if you don't receive the card in 4 weeks.

    They don't accept email approval. They need to collect the coutesy or original copy of approval notice. You better call USCIS!

    should we stay ??Just filed 140 and 485 on Physical Therapy EB3 catagory

    I don't understand why you can't file H1 extension. It is always advisable to keep your H1 status until your I140 is approved. It is risky to just maintain your I140/485/EAD/AP because if I140 gets denied everything will become invalid. Anyways, going back to the original question, I think you...
