My wife just returned from India through Germany. She did not need the transit visa on her way to India (which was also through Germany). Best wishes.

Hi, My spouse has a H1B visa approval. She will be visiting India and will get the stamping done at the US Embassy in India. On her way to India she will be chaging flights in Frankfurt, Germany. Does she need to have a transit visa for this? Thanks

Thank you hadron for your insight.

Thank you mmed for the confirmation.

Hi, I have the GC. My spouse was on J1 visa and is undergoing the J1 waiver requirement of 3 year service in a medically undeserved area (MUA). She was included in my I-140 filing. I hear that upon completion of the J1 waiver requirement, when we file for her GC, she does not need to start...

Hi, The I-485 was filed in mid-2007. I have my EAD valid upto mid-September 2009. I entered the US on Advance Parole document in Feb 2009. Though my H1B is valid till 2011, do I need to extend my EAD to keep working after Sep 2009? I thought that H1B approval was not valid after one enters...

Louisiana Labor Cert - Pebding for a LONG time Hi, My case details are given below: PD: 11/26/2001 State: LA Method: TR (Traditional or non-RIR) Received 45-day letter from State Labor Dept (before the formation of Backlog Centers) in 7/2003 and responded within 45 days. 45-day...

Thanks Thanks DGB. It's very frustrating. But thanks for clearing my doubts. It's sad that cases are being approved in a haphazard way and not as promised as FIFO. Looks like lawsuit is the only option but it's again so time consuming.

My labor cert was filed with the Louisiana (LA) State Labor Department in 11/2001 through the basic (non-RIR) process. In 7/2004 my employer received a letter from the State (not Backlog Center) Labor Dept if they were still interested in the process and my employer replied affirmative. I...

PD: Nov 2001, Non-RIR State: LA Received 45 day letter from State DOL in July 2004. After that no news! My company changed the lawyer in 2004 and he filed a RIR case in Jan 2005. No news from either of the two cases. Any suggestion as to which one I should keep? The August 31 deadline for...
