Thank you. I am going to Thailand (not my home country) to meet my parents. I hope it is ok when I enter Bangkok on 28 Mar. (by that time, I will have 7 months passport life still left). If I need to extend passport, I have to pay taxes for about $ 1600 to issue extension:mad:. That is why I...

Hi all, I just got my green card. I plan to travel to Bangkok in March and return on 12th April 2009. My passport (foreign) will be expiring on 31 Oct 2009. So, at point of entry to US, my passport will have 6 1/2 month life span. Is it good enough or do I need to extend my passport as a...

I am from Burma (Myanmar). I am still feeling happiness and relief till today more than 24 hours of knowing. Strange. I thought it (happiness) won't last that long. I had been worrying about that due to layoff news with bad economy. At least, I can stay here without needing visa even if I lose...

I just got the notice emails "Card Production Ordered" and "Notice mailed welcoming the new permenant resident".:) Once I get the GC, how soon can I travel? I am thinking of going for (2) weeks in March. What documents or procedures do I take and bring to come back in to US? Thanks in...

I got my approval email today "Card Production Ordered". Freedom after 5 years of endlessly waiting.:D

I got an email from USCIS that "Card Production is ordered" after 5 years of waiting. I was shocked to see the email feeling absolute excitement and relief. Thank you for good friends here whose posts kept me together throughout the waiting period. I wish all of you the best luck and happiness.

Thanks for sharing with us. It is so encouraging to hear such a good news. My PD is Dec 03 I hope I am as lucky as you.

My biometrics was done 1 Nov 2007. But 2nd EAD renewal was applied with paper on 6 Aug 2008. So, though finger print was done about 1 year ago, it will not be printed on EAD card unless electronically filed? :eek: I was thinking may be it is because they have not finished my name...

EAD approved in 20 days I applied my 2nd EAD on 6 Aug and got approved on 26 Aug. Card arrived on 31 Aug. It is valid for 2 years. But no finger print put yet on 2nd EAD. I wonder why?

My lawyer put "applicant for permanent residence" for 15. Current Immigration Status section.Hope it helps.

But I am EB3 ROW. How would it impact on mine when 2009 quota is available in Oct?:confused:

Being an EB3 ROW filer, when do you think employment based EB3 will become current in which visa bulletin? Would new 2009 FY visa become available in October bulletin which will be out early october or November bulletin which will be out early November? Thank you.

Could anyone give me some idea? Suppose, two people with 1. Priority Date 2003, I485 Received date 2006 2. Priority Date 2002, I485 Received date 2007 Whose I485 case will be getting processing first, provided both of their PDs become current under same visa bulletin? (their background...

emceenic, If our PD are current in March bulletin and 485 processing dates in Field Office are beyond your 485 submission date, INS is supposed to start your 485 case. If our fingerprints are done and security checks cleared, they supposedly finish GC within a few months. I140 has to be already...

Hi Guys, How do you know name check is cleared or not? My PD will become current in March. My fingerprint was done in Nov 07. Would name check message be visible as message next to I485 case number? Thanks.
