Neither my Lawyer nor I got any notification Neither of us got any notification when my case was transferred from TSC to Atlanta ( ADO ) in Dec 2003. However, subsequent transfers of EAD/AP saw me getting a notification letter sporadically, about the transfer. In those cases the lawyer didn't...

Yes, it is risky. It automatically becomes invalid and "untenable." Right from the filing of I-485 to its adjudication, it is tenable on the "Chargeability" to a particular country. If that very raison detre is undermined due to a change in Citizenship, such an application becomes...

amerikanka Having been there myself, I can only tell you that your situation is kind of bad, but not that bad. It would have been nice if you would have gotten your approval. But here is the GREAT NEWS about your case. Your officer was kind enough to give you his direct number. That's the...

In the ongoing debate on Immigration, I find the vociferous brouhaha raised by erstwhile or current immigrants to be ludicrous. They who have once obtained the benefits are now carping and championing the cause to cut-down immigration. Very sad. :( Here is what I read in the San Francisco...

Don't SPAM Don't overdo it for the risk of being accused of (with punitive consequences) resorting to SPAM ;)

No, it is not sufficient Please note the following: What Consulate of India issues is NOT a valid marriage certificate. USCIS has rejected that because the Indian Consulate is NOT the civic authority to issue a Marriage Certificate. I have an experience directly with my friend's case...

Please do read my earlier comments on this topic. Indian Consulate's letter is of no use. USCIS will not accept that to be a proof of valid marriage. Please read the posts carefully. See above.

GrimJudge Yes, you do. Read my comments, ibid supra.

dms & hpatel20 Thanks a lot for the edification.

PQR. Remember, while we retain our company name still as "ABC" the W2s for "ABC" before acquisition came from a different parent holding than the "ABC" after acquisition! So, that's why I am reiterating that the name of the company is of little consequence here. While the name of the company may...

Even in my case, despite PQR acquiring our "ABC" we always remained as "ABC" in our name and title (even after 3.75 years of acquisition we are "ABC" till date). Unfortunately, as is the case with most mergers, the Tax-Id number changes, even if there isn't a name-change. That's why Fromagen...

Your plan should work out to be good, ceteris paribus.

hpatel20 Could you kindly indicate the source for the "airline not letting anybody into 28th week of her pregnancy?" Is it because of safety or is it because they don't want to be liable for fraud cases that want to beget the baby as an American citizen? In any case, please post the...

arouncoumar Currently, your PQR company needs to file for I-140 amendment if the TAX-ID number is different from ABC. If and when XYZ acquires PQR, then XYZ will have to file for I-140 Amendment as the TAX-ID number will be different than PQR and also of ABC. This is what the leading...

No. Look at my response above ( in my rejoinder to saras76.)

Dear Friend, a few clarifications are in order. Yes, your employer will have to file for an amended I-140. However, who said you will lose AC-21 portability? Please do note that you are qualified for AC-21 portability. Your I-485 has been pending for close to 2 years. As per the law, it...

It is > 2.5 years of cumulative residency You need to establish > 2.5 years of continued residency. That's all. Now, assuming you were in the US for the past 4 years, you can take the entire year off and spend it on a different country. However, you must get I-131 -- Advance Parole -- to have...

I went in person to DC I submitted the passport in the morning and got my new passport the next day afternoon. DC Embassy is pretty good.

It takes the "normal" time to process.... It takes the same amount of time a normal I-140 would take. In my case, my original I-140 got approved in 3.5 months, whereas it took 7 months for the Amended I-140 to get approved.

YES, you(r employer) must file I-140 Amendment Yes, your employer need to file a new I-140 Amendment. Due to the acquisition, a new TAX-ID number would have come into vogue for your concern. So your employer must file an I-140 Amendment. This was the case for me as well and my employer...
