Hello All, Can I just go to the Chicago DO, to ask the status of my case. I work 2 blocks from there and could just walk over there. Feedback appreciated

You will have to apply for a visa or PIO card. I would suggest a PIO card as it is valid for 15 years and costs just $5 more than a 10 year visa.

my 2 cents 1. Cannot change employer till you reach I-485 stage (AC21 provisions) 2. Employer able to take advantage of the fact that you cannot leave 3. Marriage has to happen before your GC gets approved 4. Cannot move to a different city or state (especially if it out of the juridiction...

Just curious, you must have gone thru a exhaustive, long, expensive process to get ur GC in which you must have made a lot of sacrifices, (which I assume is for the purpose of being able to work in US permanently, or for a long time), why do you want to risk that GC? Please no offence intended...

You should go to the airport and talk to CBP. They have authority about this not INS.

BTW: I am not talking of specialities like Internal medicine, Dermatology and Opthalmology. I am talking of specialities like pedriatic cardiology, surgery. I agree that it is always more difficult for foreign-born to reach the same level a native-born, and I am talking about Chicago and...

I would completely disagree with you on that. I was also under the same impression, but when i had the need to see specialists, i was so surprized that a very few of them were native-born Americans. There were mostly from the middle east and europe. Suprisingly very few Asians. It could be cause...

Hmmm... Not quite true. Check out http://www.shusterman.com/up-eos.html way of background, section 212(a)(9)(B)(ii) of the Act states that an alien who is present in the United States without admission or parole, or who remains in the United States beyond the period of stay authorized by the...

By applying for a non-frivilous extension, you automatically get a 240 day extenstion. If you extension is denied, then you will have to leave quickly.

check out http://www.shusterman.com/deport.html and maybe experts can comment why this would apply or not apply

Hi JohnnyCash, thanks for the very detailed information that you provide. I have never had a chance to use that (and hope I never have too :-) ). However, I was reading the following link http://www.shusterman.com/deport.html. Can you eleborate and explain why such a thing would not apply to...

Well, that will depend on the CBP at the port of entry. There is no way of knowing this up front. Basically, from the day the denial noice was sent, she has started accruing unlawful presence. 180 days of unlawful presence results in 3 years bar and 365 days of unlawful presence results in 10...

Is ur first name "FNU"? If yes, then put that. If not, the get the visa corrected. P.S. I am not a lawyer and dont pretend to be one. Info to be used at ur own risk.

But just posting a message here saying one posed as an US Citizen, constitute evidence enough? I guess CIS would have to have corraborating evidence. In the case of RIAA, they had evidence that law was broken, and they were trying to find out who it was. P.S. I am not a lawyer and dont...

Nope there is no condition on when you need to travel. It just has to before the visa expires. Good Luck
