You can apply for AOS once your three years of waiver are over. you can check the marriage forum for details on how much time it takes, I know you cannot apply till your three years are over. Correct me guys if i am wrong.

AN update. Just wanted to update. i recieevd my green card on 12/7/07, so about 38 days after entry into US. Not bad, stll waiting for wife's card thoguh. Should be here soon.

I second that answer.

the officer at POE did ask if the addresses on our paper work were current. so i guess you can change it then.

Hmm, kinda surprizing cz I did not sent my birth certificate to NVC, needed to take it to consulate though.

That is exactly what another lawyer told my friend, I was told that using AP does not make any difference. You are just not supposed to use EAD to work somewhere else. I did not renew my H-1 after using AP and I went back to pakistan using AP four times in three years. I had to extend my H-1...

I used my travel documents when i first got them, i.e. six months into my waiver, did not have any problems with that. I will pm you my lawyer's name. My name is Mohsin Iqbal, so you can take it for whats it worth, although i did not see 2-3 consular processing casses going to name check that...

Immunization is required for eveyone, if you don't have any record, don't worry, you will get three shots on the day of exam and you will be done, arm would be sore for a few days though:) hope this helps.

I did not give up my EAD and AP as those were tied to separate I-485 filed based on NIW. So if you follow both tracks, you can keep on using AP even after filing for CP> I will not recommend using EAD before three years of waiver are over though. Hope this helps.

Yaar to tell the truth, I don't know how exactly to contact NVC, my lawyer did it for me, but I did not fill out any forms, I did however made casheir's cheques to NVC to start the process. Hope this helps.

Yes, CP is requested on I-140, but then you have to contact and submit fees to NVC so that they can get your file from NSC and start the process. Now this can be done whenever, ideally about 6 months before your waiver is over. I-485 AKA AOS can only be filed once three years are over though...

We filed for CP much before three year waiver were over, actually as I mentioned before, file was fowarded to NVC for CP in dec. 06, about 6 months before waiver term was over, so that was not a problem. About interview, once consulate contacts you , you can always make sure that interview date...

You are very right about this opinion of not using EAD or Parole in first three years of H-1 visa as using those changes your status. However, my understanding after many discussions with lawyers is you are not supposed to use EAD to work for a different employer. But using AP to travel does not...

My advance parole was from pending I-485 based on NIW, so infact I was pursuing two tracks for immigration. CP was done based on labor cert. Hope this helps.

My understanding is (purely speculation) that consulor can put your name to security check if they want to. I think this is in addition to if computer raises a red flag. So consulors do have some descretion. We OTOH did not have to go through any security checks.

I have posted my detalied immigration exp. in this thread : http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?p=1806773#post1806773 I went for employer sponsored CP on Oct. 10th in Islamabad. My category was EB2. As understandable I was pretty apprehensive about the whole process esp. security...
