in Bombay they asked me show the But when I went for stamping they took away my approval letter.

For DA, the website for consulate general of India New York is http://www.indiacgny.org/

checkthisout, don't worry. My case was exactly similar. My passport (from India) expired last year july. I applied and got a new passport (new booklet, new number). At that time my I-485 was pending. I didn't have to inform anyone regarding this. Only while getting my GC approval stamp (I-551...

I think its more to do with the pattern of the name than the first letter of the name. By pattern I mean something in the lines of "regular expressions" in computer programming. IT guys among you will know what I'm implying. Disclaimer: This is purely my guesswork.

Another option would be to bring your parents and/or your spouse's parents here in US.

For guys at BCIS, their whole life is one big party. They hardly do anything the whole day. For poor people like me, I get to party rarely. When I went to the Brooklyn INS for my second FP, I saw one employee merrily smoking a pipe outside while people were lined up inside.

india-usa, I was thinking about using the refund money for the GC approval party.

Edison, thanks for the reply. Do you expect to get an RFE on the EAD application or the whole thing dies a natural death ?

I had filed for EAD & AP on Nov 6, 2003. Meanwhile, my I-485 was approved on Feb 17, 2004 and I got the approval notice today. Now what happens to my pending EAD & AP application ? Do they issue an RFE or do I have to tell them to withdraw the application ? I filed for EAD & AP on my own...

TheRealCanadian, you are absolutely right. But after having SSN with the help of EAD, life becomes so much simpler. Even though my spouse didn't work, I was kind of forced to apply for her EAD. The dimwits at DMV demanded an EAD as if its a proof of legal status. Ideally one shouldn't have...

Its wrong to expect that every person you talk to knows the finer points of immigration law. Moreover you might not have the luxury to enlighten them on "what constitutes a valid status in US ?". In those cases showing the EAD clears up a lot of cunfusion. It seems Robi wants to apply for SSN...

Once I heard this from MV, then from SSN robi, show them your EAD. Use your EAD to apply for SSN. Similarly in DMV, show your EAD to prove your valid status. Your I485 receipt notice should be sufficient to prove your valid status but some offices don't recognize that. So having the EAD is...

Silent, this is for you. sorry about that rickz. Passengers on a Aeroflot flight heard this announcement from the captain, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am sorry to inform you that we have lost power to all of our engines and will shortly crash into the ocean." The passengers were obviously very...

sorry, didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But the jokes capture an essence of the intended discussion, i.e Aeroflot is not a good airline to fly. You can call it a light-hearted discussion. We are all friends here and its perfectly natural. cmacti, try to avoid flying Aeroflot. I guess...

Guys, these are not jokes. Its a fact. RealCanadian's post you will be safe as long as the pilots do not let their children fly the plane refers to the most infamous incident in 1994, when an Aeroflot Airbus A310 on a flight between Moscow and Hong Kong crashed in Siberia after the pilot...
