No Title For processing your green card, what matters is that you are paid as least as much as the salary contained in your approved labor certification at the time you become a permanent resident. Assuming you are going to go with CP, you will have to get a notarized "offer letter&quot...

Not correct The LIN number is actually entered into the NVC\'s system fairly soon after they receive your file from the service center -- it takes weeks after that before they then assign the NVC case number.

No Title Your must report to work upon your return and your employer must intend to employ you at that time. Anything less than this is fradulent. Can you use any accumulated vacation to continue to be paid through this time?

No Title And even if they ask for it because the consulate is still following the old procededure, they must provide a blank copy to you to fill out. You probably know that this form is so simple that you can complete it in

No Title You may file N-400 90 days (and not 1 day sooner!) before the date you will meet the continuous residency requirements, assuming you have also met physical presence requirements of being in the U.S. for 30 months out of this period.

Mexico requirements have changed again My friend is going to Mexico on vacation and the Mexican consulate in Houston advised him that the approval that was required post-9/11 is no longer required as of last month (this was not a visa, just a pre-clearance approval letter). Still, he needed to...

No Title My apologies for duplicating information. I\'m not as regular a visitor here as I used to be, so I missed these earlier discussions.

The following is an excerpt from an article posted at www.murthy.com, regarding changes in procedures at a the Dulles Airport POE if you still only have the I-551 stamp in your passport (i.e. no card). No mention if the "secondary inspection" applies to other POEs. On the second...

No Title Your status has already changed and you are a permanent resident. Your receipt of the plastic card isn\'t going to change anything. The employer MUST accept the I-551 passport stamp as evidence of your status -- the card obiviously suffices as well. The I-9 form explicitly states...

No Title The I-9 form is the responsibility of the employer. You have an obligation to notify your employer that your status has changed and to furnish the required evidence of your status and identity, but that\'s where your obligation ends. If your employer doesn\'t follow-through after...

No Title As a taxpayer who it totally disenfranchised because I am still "only" a PR, I am very powerless to impact the political processes that select those who choose how to spend the taxes that I pay at all levels of government. And to me, that\'s certainly a monetary advantage of...

No Title Bilateral treaties may lower this, e.g. it is 20 credits because of reciprocal plans between the U.S. and Canada.

No Title The stamp alone must be accepted. Think of the situation if you did CP. In that case, there is no official approval document of your status other than the passport stamp (or card if you have it already) -- you might have kept a copy of the Immigrant Visa but that is really...

If you were a U.S. Permanent Resident, it used to unnecessary for you to obtain a visa for travel to Mexico as a tourist (even if you needed one before becoming a PR). b Thanks to the events of 9/11, this has changed! Citizens of certain countries who are U.S. PRs must now obtain an...
