No Title Yes...as I\'m sure some INS employees will be taking vacation over the holiday period just like a lot of other people. There will be fewer resources therefore less work getting done.

No Title Apparently after 3 months the burden of disproving/proving immigration fraud shifts from you to the INS. Don\'t expect them to even bother to try - they\'ve got enough on their plate to deal with.

No Title No problems...yet! However, if they need to make contact with the INS again (e.g. replacement green card, citizenship application) their bio\'s will be reviewed at that time. Anyone can leave and claim they haven\'t had a problem - but they can\'t predict the future.

No Title My lawyer told me to ignore S2045 as regulations are not expected until Mar 2001. He also told me under no circumstances should I change jobs less than 30 days after I485 approval date (PP stamping and receipt of GC dates are irrelevant, I485 approval date is the important one). He...

No Title The lawyer probably factored in travelling time, waiting time, parking fees etc.

No Title Yes I\'m sure this long, slow, mental torture must affect a lot of people in an adverse way :-)

No Title Why are you talking to yourself? :-)

No Title Actually he does have a point. You are a permanent resident and the passport stamp is proof of that. The plastic card is just another form of proof of permanent resident status. Receiving the card is no way changes your status so to say that you are a \'slave\' until you receive the...

No Title Are you talking about receiving the actual plastic card? My lawyer told me it\'s not unusual for cards for applicants from the same family to arrive days, weeks or sometimes even months apart.

No Title I walked into Baltimore on a Monday - no appointment required. Why do you think you can only go on a Wednesday for passport stamping?

No Title Correct - except PDs that are not current go back on another shelf to be checked again later.

No Title My lawyer told me of 2 cases where green cards were revoked because they left employers less than a month after I485 approval. One was reported to the INS by an angry employer. The other lost his plastic card after a few months and applied to the INS for a new one - they reviewed his...

No Title My lawyer told me to ignore S2045 as regulations are not expected until Mar 2001. He also told me under no circumstances should I change jobs less than 30 days after I485 approval date (PP stamping and receipt of GC dates are irrelevant, I485 approval date is the important one). He...

No Title Well, since no INS regulations regarding implementation of S2045 have been issued there are definitely risks. For example, what if the INS say the 180 day clock starts from the date the law was signed (Oct 17, 2000)? Or what if they say the new law only applies to I485s filed after Oct...

No Title This is a no-brainer. S2045 clearly should protect you no matter what the INS say. If the INS regulations are overly restrictive then you\'ll have your day in court putting that right. You\'ve got nothing to lose if you really are going to be laid off. If you get laid off get a good...

No Title Of course you\'re right - if PDs become current, Oct 99 (and after) waiters will be waiting for a very long time. There is a large number of applications with Aug/Sep 99 NDs.

No Title I received courtesy copy on 10/28....my lawyer received originals on 10/30.

No Title Approved 10/24, message changed 10/26, received notice 10/28

No Title If you\'ve got the original approval notice, what are you worried about?

No Title They don\'t order your plastic card until you get your passport stamped. This is because they collect your photos and a fingerprint for the plastic card at the same time you get stamped. So get your passport stamped asap.
