    I'm current. When to call the Texas center for info?

    I assume your date is showing current as of yesterday. It probably shows that you're current under the month of Jan 2013. This means that they will process your GC as of jan 2013. I just got mine a week ago. In Nov it said that my date would be in current as of Dec 2012. I got approved on...

    Approved at long last..

    Thanks. I am sorry to hear this and I wish you luck from the bottom of my heart. One thing that kept me going are the poor souls that had it worse than I did. Remember, whatever your situation is, someone, somewhere has it worse than you do. Once you get it..you're home free.

    Approved at long last..

    All, I am a citizen of Mauritius by birth. I started the Green card process thru my work in 2006. My labor was approved within a week making my priority date 11/27/2006. The next year, the second step (where they check the viability of your employer) was approved and we applied for I 485 in...

    Mexico Visa requirement for H1 B holders

    Is it true that if you hold a long term US visa, you can enter Mexico without a tourist visa? If so, are there other countries that waive the tourist visa requirement for holders of H1 B visas? Thanks

    Can anyone predict the visa number availability EB3 ROW for September 2010 ?

    I think your lawyer is probably right. Just wait. Since you are current, your 485 will be processed. I don't know if everyone is asked for an interview. I think this is a case-by-case basis. Hopefully your 485 will be processed before any retrogression takes place.

    Additional Income on H1-B?

    Hi all, I have been waiting on my green card for over 4 years now. In the meantime, I am finding myself in need of more money. I am wondering how I can make additional income legally. I hear that I can invest in stocks. But can I take online jobs/gigs, say from Craigslist or have my own...

    Can anyone predict the visa number availability EB3 ROW for September 2010 ?

    Cut off dates are established on the 8th of each month, so the bulletin should become available on the 11th or 12th at the very latest. (as is the case every month). There are 150,657 EB visa numbers available for this fiscal year. Since EB 1 and 2 are current for ROW, it means that unused...

    Can anyone predict the visa number availability EB3 ROW for September 2010 ?

    Since no one (including myself) can predict next month's visa number availability, I have done some research. It seems that the closest guess for EB3 ROW would August 2005 by the end of this fiscal year. Click here for other categories...

    Can anyone predict the visa number availability EB3 ROW for September 2010 ?

    I believe that Sep 2010 would be the last month of this year's fiscal year, right? Any possibilities that some visa numbers may spill downward from EB2? Does anyone have any knowledge how "spilling" works? thanks. Amar.,

    Is the Advanced Parole status "approved" sufficient

    I traveled with my AP last time. They won't let you on the plane if you can't prove you have a valid permit to enter the US (visa or AP in this situation). Secondly, they stamp the AP once you go thru immigration, so I would think you would need it.
