It would be a good idea to carry your EAD card with you. You may need to show it as you won’t be able to work without it while you are on AP.

Congrats! This proves BCIS is working, and sometimes fast.

1. Explain them your situation. Tell them how long you've been waiting and whether they can inquire about your case and speed up the process or not. Be sure to provide them your LIN# and address and phone#. 2. No, there is no harm in contacting the senator's office without consulting your...

I was fingerprinted twice but the online status was never updated. I called up the FBI two weeks after the fingerprinting and was told that the result had already been sent to the INS. So, I think the online status system is not reliable.

You will not be able to come back to the states if you apply for visa, until the visa is actually issued. It could take months to get the clearance. So, plan accordingly.

Talk to your school international director. If he/she cannot advise you, then he/she will forward you to the right person. But, be sure to take professional advice.

You don’t have to withdraw 485 if you file for 824. I personally filed both. Nothing happened in my case. Definitely CP is much faster than AOS. But for AOS, you can ask for judicial review if your case gets rejected for some reason. There is no such pportunity for CP.

Getting a job in Canada has always been very tough. I know many people who left Canada after obtaining citizenship and went back home. They wanted the citizenship for easy travel and for their kids. They (kids) will be able to come back to Canada or go to another country for study relatively...

They will stamp a visa (PR) in your passport that is valid for single entry only. I just checked with a lawyer and learned that 12 months passport validity is required for PR visa stamp.

They requested me to provide employment history since my last lawful entry. And I had to provide information from all my employers since my last lawful entry. So, yes, they could very well ask for that but my understanding is that this a discretionary call made by the officer reviewing the case.

This is the time it will approximately take after they receive the application. However, it could be sooner and sometimes later than this time. At least that’s what the BCIS people told me when I called them.

The best option for you is to bring your wife on H4. If your approved H1B petition is still valid then you can go home and get married and then apply for H1B for you and H4 for your wife. It will take few months to get the security clearance. So, in the mean time you can come back to the states...

My lawyer told me that I could both file for 485 and CP. So, you can file I-824 also while your 485 is pending.

If your passport is valid for six months and you get your PR visa stamp in it, then the visa will expire with your passport, unless the medical examination date expires before that. So, having a passport that is valid longer than 6 months is highly desirable for PR visa stamping. For...

I must add, nowadays BCIS scrutinizes application for visa extensions very closely. Unless there are urgent and compelling reasons, like medical treatments, chances of getting refused are quite high. I don’t think any decisions should be made regarding Canadian PR from US counting visa extensions.

The adjudication process used to take 90 days in the good old days. Even if it can’t be done in 90 days, two years is totally unreasonable. 6 months is more reasonable but it will take a very strong willingness on the government’s parts. Unfortunately the government seriously lacks that...

From 5 to 23? Boy, cases should fly off the shelf when that happens.:D

Even if you don’t get married you still have a pretty good chance of getting approval for PR. Officer who does the evaluation may approve your case if he/she thinks that the point you obtained does not reflect your qualifications.

leelee, I have a friend who was in an exact situation as you and it took about 6 months for him to get the corrected AP. Very strange and unusual, the lawyer won’t tell you your LIN#. After all, the # belongs to you.
