Sounds to me like you need to contact your consulate in any event and figure out what they need from you or you need from them.

The greencard process can be harrowing indeed, but as long as you have all your documentation in order it should be smooth

Ginnu, thanks for the great advice. I have heard of problems similar to this and your information is accurate.

Odds are if you pursue premium processing your application will take 1-2 months.

You would have to keep a residence in the United States obviously, but I don't see any reason you couldn't travel.

Yes, there's no way to get your green card if you invest in stocks, but through the eb-5 program if you invest in some cases as little as 500,000 in pre-approved businesses throughout the country you can get your green card.

Dear confused... Yes, I agree, why not try again from India if the London embassy denied it can only get better and the U.S. university seems willing to work with you which is good.

Certainly, I think the U.S. does have a vested interest in determining where the funds are coming from. If it was exposed in the media that these monies had come from terrorists or cartel members I can only imagine the furor.

I'm afraid that only one of you is eligible to receive the green card along with their spouse. You also have to show that the others have no legal right to claim the money, gifts are permitted though.

Anderson's advice is correct. You'll want to try with the second copy of the I129 at the chennai consulate.

for spouse GC You may find these resources helpful. There's a list of steps you'll need to take in order for a spouse to get a green card. Careful though, they're selling their services. http://www.usavisanow.com/marriage-green-card/

I understand what anderson is saying, and it seems somewhat unfair, which is what leads me to believe it's true. If the training helps a worker become skilled, why can't he transfer to a visa for a skilled worker? Rhetorical question.

I'm confused - does this pertain to immigration in some way?

I think that Viraj is correct - an I539 form is what you need. Where did you end up sending the forms, and how did it work out?

How did this work out for you maheshcr? Did the labor application ever get approval even after your ridiculous 2 year wait??

It may be possible to either get the student visa extended, or to transfer to a different class of visa. Thankfully obama will not be cracking down on cases like this, so the administration's policy works in your favor.

Congratulations! I hope you enjoy your new residency and have some peace of mind about your status. Remember that the US was built by immigrants, and those that hate have simply forgotten this fact.

Eb6 In addition to the reforms mentioned, the eb6 is also a strong contender and a great option for the country. It's similar to the eb5, but it is specific to immigrant investors that are starting their own business. It's sponsored by John Kerry and Dick Lugar.

A lawyer should probably be consulted to give you conclusive advice on this issue. It's worth the high price. In the meantime, prepare intelligent questions. This resource may help: http://www.immihelp.com/greencard/retain-greencard.html

Yes, I have to agree that it will probably be better to wait, if it is true that after 5 years these things can be overlooked. A lawyer would be the best source of advice on this. If the 5 year rule is true, it's def worth it to wait. If the rule is not real, then you should apply now.
