Fellowship... 1. you may NOT change to a fellowship - a fellowship is a TEMPORARY job - it is training, and the I485 is being applied for a PERMANENT job. AC21 would not come into play for above reasons and also for the reason that while both jobs maintain patient care, the jobs are...

Hi folks....I had my second set of I-485 FP done 12/27/05, Code 1 (first set was April 2004). Now 1 month later, I get another notice to go back for Code 2. WHat does this mean? And how long till my application gets approved? ALso, I am scheduled to go for EAD FP tomorrow. Can I get the...

rdip, thanks for your reply. I discussed this with my attorney, and she is a lil weary because technically, the I485 is for an employee and not for an owner (partner). She said that if I become a partner now, and if my I485 drags on, and if USCIS asks for more recent tax returns showing I'm...

Hi folks...My I485 is pending since 12/03 at TSC; have had 1st FP, nothing else so far. My employment contract currently terminates in July 2005, unless my I485 is approved by then, in which case I may be made partner in the firm. Question is, can I request TSC to expedite my case? According...

hello folks...what happens if I485 gets approved before USCIS receives my wife's I485? what is the process of sending my approval notice to an overseas consulate and how long is that procesS? thanks

from what I understand, there is NO way to extend the visa except to re-apply. sorry.

havent been in your situation, but I suspect they may make you and your wife re-submit the entire application - dont know if this is true or not. I know if you have a baby born then thats the procedure they follow. good luck.

Flying is a hit or miss situation because some airline personnel may not be familiar with the fact that you can keep your I-94 when going to canada. I would take the I94 out of the passport. I gave my I-94 before I boarded because I was going to use my visa to re-enter, but the sterwardess...

You should be fine, however, your exact luck will depend on your immigration officer. My officer clearly told me that in order to revalidate you with change of status, you MUST have the original, white, I-94 given to you at entrance. Another officer I talked to said that there would be no...

Flew back after a few days - after all, if you spend hundreds of $$ to go there might as well enjoy the wonderful city (and Indian shopping is incredible there). Gave my address in Vancouver where card will hopefully arrive in few weeks, then sent to me here.

Hi; I handed my I-94 at the airport; once I boarded, the hostess came to hand me my I-94 back, stating I would need it to come back - not really the case since I had a valid visa and would not be using visa revalidation; as far as crossing by land, read the back of the I-94; it says that if...

It depends on the EXACT nature of the crime involved. Most crimes fall under CMT (Crime of Moral Turpitude). Can that be deportable? it depends. you need a GOOD and an experienced criminal immigration attorney. There are many immigration attorneys who specialize in this area of the law...

I landed at Vancouver airport about a week ago. My flight landed about 12:30pm on a Saturday. First stop, initial customs. Here was the shocker. I have never, in my life, seen lines this looooong. There must have been over 1000 people split between lines for residents and lines for...

Hi folks; I was just curious, for those of us landing and returning back to USA, is it a must to apply for the SIN card? Immigration officers say you should apply for it in 2 weeks. OR can I apply for it without any problems when I return? thanks.

Hi gurus. My I485 was filed 12/03 at TSC. My lawyer says he prefers not to do medical exam at outset because after exam gets over 1yr old, they will ask for a repeat exam when they finally get around to adjudicating the case. However, i see here that some lucky individuals from 2003 are...

Suppose you land in Canada, get the PR card and return to the USA without establishing a home or apartment in Canada, without getting a SIN card and without getting provincial health care. Do you still have to pay taxes on your USA income?

Hi there, My brother's B2 expires on Oct. 11. I just found out yesterday that he is actually eligible to apply for an extension. My question is that if he applies for the extension through the TSC, how long does it usually take? Also, if the TSC denies his application, then is he considered...

Hi - I have approved I-140, I-485 about to be applied. I have an opportunity to become a partner owner in the company that is sponsoring my immigration. Is this allowable under AC-21 after 6 months? The opportunity to become a partner was clearly outlined in my initial employment contract...

I applied through Texas Service Center and it took 40 days.
