Similar experience here... Went to Niagara Falls, Canada over the Labor Day weekend. We used the Rainbow bridge crossing both ways. While going to Canada, it was well past midnight. Only one lane was open and ours was the only car ;-) The officer just asked about the nationality, status in...

Can stay up to 6 months without permission... They can stay up to 6 months without permission. Beyond that, you need to get some paperwork done. My daughter has been in India for about 10 months now. I know that my parents had to get some paperwork done for her because her stay was more than 6...

Not true for all the states... For example in New Jersey, the form for residents as well as part time residents is the same, whereas they have a separate form for non-residents. It is definitely possible that you have to file taxes as a non-resident. For example, we stay in New Jersey, but...

Fully agree!! Fully agree with octo on this issue. Carrying the physical card on person and risking losing it and going through all the hassle to replace it is not worth it. I don't carry it with me and I doubt if more than even 10% of PRs do.

Wife recd plastic card... My wife recd her physical card in the mail yesterday. I entered the US about 3 months back and my wife stayed back in India. Details: POE: Dallas DOE: 1st Dec Card Recd: 16th Dec No welcome letter yet.

Any idea how long it takes to get approved? Thanks.

As far as getting the GC for the baby if he/she is born out of US, I am not sure of all the paperwork reqd, but I am assuming that only the birth certificate will be required either at the time of the interview and/or at POE. Check this thread for experiences of other people who might have done...

The immigrant visa packet that you will get after your CP interview will serve as the "visa" for US. So you don't need a transit visa for the return travel. I was in a similar situation. My H1 visa stamp had expired, so I obtained a transit visa while flying out, and the visa packet was...

Go to immihelp.com and read the section on AC140. Assuming you are from India, if your consulate is Mumbai or Delhi, you should be able to get an interview approx 3 months after you mail out your AC140 packet to the consulate. For Chennai, you might be better off sticking to your 485 because you...

Yes it is possible... Yes, you can still go for CP using AC-140, but not all consulates accept AC-140 applications. I know that Mumbai and Delhi do accept these, but Chennai does not. You can go to immihelp.com to get all the information, but the gist of it is that you need to file 824 to...

I agree... For folks stuck with TSC, CP is the best option. I'm glad I went for it.

At Hinduja it costs Rs. 1700 per person. Not sure about the other hospitals.

Good news for people like you... From immigration-law.com Updated 10/07/2002: DOJ Authorization Legislation Permits 7-Year H-1B Extension for Consular IV Processing The U.S. Department of State Authorization bill which awaits the President's signature will bring two marvellous changes to...

I had mentioned on my DS230 that my wife will be travelling with me. However, I told the guy collecting the documents that she would like to travel later. He said that was fine and we got separate packets with my wife's packet indicating "valid for travel with primary or follow to join" (forget...

Normally they give out separate packets. But just to be sure, inform them during the interview that your wife would like to travel later.
