Congratulation ehuang - It is a good news that you got your interview notice. Your date shows that , right now newark office is taking two months to schedule interviews. As per this page in INS web site medical reports are valid only for 12 months...

I think the time for action has come in your case. You better go to Local office and check out the status of your case. This is my fourth week and i might go there some time towards the end of next week. As they don't have any arrangements to check the status over the phone...
You are not allowed to walk-in and apply for EAD extension at Newark office except when you have an EAD application pending in VSC for more than 90 days or your EAD application is pending in Newark office ( in case of local transfers) for more than 90 days. So what your lawyer is saying is ture...
Actually it doesn't matter if your intention to Join company A is real or not. All that matters is the way how you present yourself during interview and convince the officer that your intention is genuine. As i mentioned earlier i strongly suggest you to go with your lawyer. Your case cannot be...
Hi ehuang,
This posting might sound little negative , but i think it is always better to say things without much sugar coating. INS is bothered about cases like that of yours. My case is little different as i am currently working for company A . So i left company A and later...
indiaeb2's suggestion is good. This way you get a receipt based on which you can apply for interim EAD at newark office personally ,if the regular one doesn't come with in three months.
Ehuang-
I don’t think that you can walk-in to Newark office and get interim EAD without an EAD application pending there. Once your case gets transferred to Newark, you have no business with VSC. Any thing related to your transferred case needs to be looked upon by the local...
You are allowed to walk in for EADs only if your application is pending for 90 days ( 90 days from Receipt date). Other wise you might end up standing in long Queue for 5 hrs to get “ No – you have to send application by mail” as answer from an immigration officer. More over such EADs are...
Hi ehuang,
I haven't got my transfer notice or interview notice yet. If you have the patience to stand in the queue for 5 hrs go ahead and try to get some information from the local office. If i am in your situation i would wait for one more week. i have a feeling that your...
I was specifically talking about local transfers when there is a change in company . Generally speaking there is no definite rule for local transfer. A lazy officer can transfer your case without any reason -if he wants to step out of work little early.......
Hi ehuang,
This is what I think about Local transfers and company change-
1. If you work for company A and move to company B and if your GC is sponsored by company A then there is a good chance of getting Local transfer.
2. If you work for company A and move to company B and...
You can go to the Newark office and get information about your case , provided you are patient enough to stand in a queue for 3 or more hours and Ok with the unbelievably rude behavior of immigration officers. My suggestion to ehuang is to wait for two more weeks for some response from the...
So far , there are four of us –
July 16 , you are the first one to go for theinterview . Hope you will post your interview experience in this forum.
Njasp got interview notice from Newark in five days ,after the transfer – does that mean ehuang and I have to check with...
In most cases , a lawyer need not accompany you for interview . But if the case is complicated and you think that you might require a lawyer’s service to clarify certain things – then it is always advisable to spend some money for that. 500 sounds reasonable ( Hope IT guys get paid that way –...
My case got transferred from VSC to Newark on sep-18 and i checked with IIO yesterday - why i am not getting transfer notice . She told me that it may take more time than usual as auditing is going on and asked me to call back after Oct-15th. May be there is a back log in their mail room ( i am...
