better to have valid passport i would think it is better to get your new passport before getting the stamp. there might be a problem. what if u loose ur passport after stamping while being sent to the consulate. there is very little chance that u will get ur card in less than 6 months.

INS photo The best place and price is Costco. They charge $5 and it is done in 30 min. or if you go to any other photo studio, then ask for a INS photo and they will do it.

Check for Visa Camp almost once a month they come to L.A on a Visa camp. If you passport has not been 10 years since isssue then it just takes a day to get it extended. if u need a new passport then it is a whole new procedure

One day/one week/1month/1year Any of these possibility will work with the INS. Mostly they are processed in about 2 weeks after being assigned. The system usually gets updated by about 9-9:30pm, so keep your fingers crossed and i am sure you will hear the magic words in a few days. I have...

Get ur facts before contacting Hello: Yes i contacted a congressman to get my LC approved (i lost my patientce after 3.5 years). Got to house.gov, and you can get the name of your local congressman - it requires your zip and the zip+4 (u can get this from the postoffice link from the...

No Title If you are planning on getting the stamp try the Orange county office - it is supposed to have been moved to Santa Ana from Westminister.

No Title A notarized copy should be fine. check again with the INS website for any requirement. in my BC, my name was mis-spelled - i got a notorized letter from both my mother and father and included it in the package along with the old one. It was accepted. Good luck

No Title This is the number given to you on filing for your 485. if u had previous EAD application like EAD after being a student then it will be the same number. This later becomes your permanent numbers even after getting approval. I did not put my student intership EAD number but the INS...

No Title when did u do your stamping?

No Title I would give it a shot and see what happens. the worst that can happen is that the Santa ana office would reject your temporary EAD card. i know it is quite a drive but you dont have any other options.

No Title i was there at 6:00 am on a friday and was out by 8:30. i dont see a need to go there at 5. I went just 1 month back. i even heard people who have walked in at 10:00 am and out by 11;30 am. i dont know about the move to santa ana. I have heard that mon and fridays are the worst...

No Title You get seperate receipt numbers and as a matter of fact everything is seperate - finger printing date, your A#, etc. This is quite common.

No Title Thre are a lot of discussions on this subject at the "after greencard" board here. But I would use caution since the employer sponsered u and if u can live with it for another 3-6months then u will not be quite free. in brief leaving a company is a grey area which has been...

No Title when u apply for citizenship your file is opened by the INS and is reviewed. if u are sponsered by your employer they ask for why you quit. so there is a chance that you might be charged for fraud or not being given the citizenship. (again if a lawyer represents you then he can talk...
