Even if you were officially registered and collected unemployment pay and benefits (a fact which the interviewer can easilly check and find out..)?

I own a condo in my home country overseas that is being rented out. Since I live in the US, my parents over there handle my tenants and all issues with the lease agreement. They keep the proceeds from the rent to themselves, so basically I don't have any income from that condo and don't report...

When it comes to listing (or ommiting) an unemployment period - does it make a difference if I was just sitting at home not doing any work for a while or whether I formally registered for unemployment benefits in my State and collected unemployment?

Hi, I heard people WITH greencards sometime still need to go for finger printing... Anybody has an idea WHY???

Thanx Prakumar... you were right... I talked to my lawyer again and he said he didn't realize my greencard was already approved (the first time I talked to him I just saw a change in my online case status, but it took them 3 more days till I got the actual card...). So yes, the answer to me...

Well I'm exactly in the same boat... I had my H1 with compnay A while being sponsored for a greencard by a sister company B that belongs to same owner... Well, now that I got my greencard finally :D (3.5 long years!!!) I have to change employers to company B and neither myself or my boss wanna...

I see there's one question that keeps not being answered and that is what is the worst that can happen? delay in naturalization? loss of g/card? I guess nobody knows the answer, that's why it's being avoided. In my OPINION (and it's just an opinion) it all depends how severe a case USCIS wants...

I don't understand how her boss don't allow the "switch" to take place... As you mentioned, this is just a technical/formal switch between sister companies... she can probably continue to do the same job/tasks she was doing so far only under the "employment veil" of the company that sponsored...

Thanx FORREST for elaborating this process... I tried it today and after a long hold/wait I was finally patched throu a TSC person. She was kind of nice but couldn't tell me much more other than I cleared security checks and case awaits assignment to officer. She didn't know how long it's gonna...

Very interesting report to read... Also interesting - at the end of the table that breaks down each type of visa/application (on p.43) it says they may run checks not just on applicants but also on the employers/sponsors, where needed. I believe that is what the term "Domestic Investigation"...

Thank You gcDELAYED !!! I will try and call them monday and share my experience... I sure hope they still have visa numbers available for July and not just accept new 485s to make up for their screw-up...

Can some1 please post the tl' number for the TSC IO?? (PS: what is IO anyway??)

GCs are being issued based on PDs so you should be good in Oct when new visa numbers will become available, provided the eb3 Cat doesn't retrogress for your country before July 18, 2002.

My I-140 was also surprisingly approved this week after bein pending since 09/2006... Security checks/ Background checks/ Name checks - isn't that something that EVERYONE has to undergo during the I-485 process, not I-140? I'm confused now.. :confused:

I don't think so at all... Background check or Name check is something that EVERYBODY has to go throu and indeed they are backed up on that significantly... Domestic Investigation is something that only "few" have the honors of having, and yeah - it's bad news af far as delays are concerned...
