Those bolded statements refer to the cutoff numbers, not allocation. "immediately available" = Rank cutoff number allows visa allocation in the current month. "visa not yet available" = The rank cutoff number for a future month has been published in the Visa Bulletin so they can't allocate visa...

Thanks for the response! The reasons I think it is weird is: 1) I haven't seen anyone in this forum getting it. 2) I was under the impression that the officer in charge of the approval would throw the AP application away once they realize that I am already on H1B. I like the green crayon...

@Britsimon and @Sm1smom , The weirdest thing happened to me today. I have received an I-512 advance parole card in the mail which is valid for a year. It says "Employment Authorization Card" on the top and "SERVES AS I-512 ADVANCE PAROLE" at the bottom. As you already might know, my interview...

Thanks! I would rather not harass HR too much so I'm going to bring my pay stubs and W-2s instead.

Thank you!

This question of mine fell though the cracks. I'd really appreciate an answer. Sorry for the disturbance. This is my 2nd and last attempt and I promise I won't ask the same questions again if I don't get a response :)

Sounds like " no appointments " line is where employees go to take a break and smoke a cigarette :D Technically they are working but no customers are coming.

That's a quite a long ride but I would come for Google Fiber. Permanently :D

Congrats @alpha_wolf ! If you or anyone in this forum is living in Philadelphia area, I would like to do that!

Hey Britsimon! Can you post the link to this printout? The letter of employment in my application package is dated April 28th. Given that my interview is scheduled for August 28th, do you think the letter is too old? Should I get a new one?

Now that makes me wonder what memos I might need for my interview in case someone needs "schooling" hmm :)

Wow! One of the WORST scenarios that can happen. It is a pain in the ass to explain these things to incompetent staff. I'm glad you got the photocopies of memos with you so that you could prove your point. I had a similar problem when entering from Mexico to the US. I'm on H1B visa, but I don't...

Update: Got my IL today! Crossing fingers for you, Britsimon!

Yes. Probably not the king of request numbers. That would be too easy for such a valuable number :)

Philadelphia FO here. I walked in the following day I received the letter. I arrived early in the morning, before they opened the doors. A security staff was checking if everyone had an appointment or infopass. I showed mine, he said that they weren't accepting people without appointments...

You betcha! :cool: ;)

My best luck wishes :)

You had to deal with one of those IOs that lack the knowledge of the immigration system. The I-20 forms are stamped at the customs by the customs officer. If you have never left the US, there won't be a stamp in your I-20s. Happy to hear things turned out fine. Congrats.

Interesting. Didn't know that they could interview without having the case file. Sorry for the misleading info :(

alpha_wolf said he had an interview so it is clearly forwarded to the FO. That's why I've been saying his case is out of the hands of KCC.
