    Urgent help needed

    i think the simple way is to have her joining you on H4 and apply for AOS before you use the EAD. However, if you're affected by the recent event of PD retrogression, this option may not be as simple as it sounds. Alternatively, she may apply for an immigration visa at the US consulate of...

    Please reply- Urgent

    Congratulations! You may consider rescheduling your FP2. In theory, your case can be approved any time after giving the fingerprint, and you don't want that to happen before you file for the bride. My understanding is that once USCIS receives the application of your wife, it will be linked...

    485 approved and AP Expired while abroad

    The case was approved on a Thursday and my wife got the stamp on the following Monday. However, since she hasn't got the approval notice in the mail, the local USCIS gave us a hard time. (http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=139815) But if your wife has already got the approval...

    485 approved and AP Expired while abroad

    My wife was in a similar situation. After consulting an attorney and an immigration officer at the local USCIS, we decided that best choice was to have her back before the expiration of the AP. I personally don't recommend any other "options", unless you really have a crave for adrenaline...

    Which one to select for infopass (website included) - Passport stamping appointment

    i saw it using the link at the website for Philly's office. If you don't see it, just follow PV1976's advice and pick #6. It won't do any harm.

    Which one to select for infopass (website included) - Passport stamping appointment

    there should be one more option "You have received an approval letter or I-797C from the Service Center or local office instructing you to come into the office for ADIT processing/passport stamp."

    Urgent: Passport stamping without 485 approval notice

    So we got the stamp for her...but not without a big fight. On Monday when we returned to the Philly's Office, the officer insisted that (1) We CANNOT get the stamping without the approval letter and (2) we CANNOT get emergency AP unless someone in the family is dead or dying. We told her...

    Thanks a lot for all your advice! We actaully went to the local office in Philly's on Friday. To my surprise, the system there has not been updated and the record still showed "not approved". However, they were willing to accept the email print out in a situation like ours. We are going...

    LUD Changing everyday !!!!

    I'm not sure what it means. It is different from my own experience. My I-140 was approved in July 2003, and the LUD has been fixed on that date since. I have noted that when my EAD was approved, there was a couple of changes of the I-485 LUD. The same thing happened after they received my...

    LUD Changing everyday !!!!

    I think you should be fine. Your LUD change is very likely caused by the RFE received by USCIS. LUD change is like flirting--it's not exactly the thing you want. Anyway, have a nice weekend guys!

    LUD Changing everyday !!!!

    LUD hypothesis This is my impression of the "meaning" of LUD changes: Many consecutive LUD changes are associated with EAD/AP approval or RFE/FP received at USCIS. If you're not expecting any of these (i.e. EAD, AP, etc) consecutive LUD changes without approval could be a sign for issuing...
