    BCIS allows Late Finger Printing?

    This is my suggestion: Your best bet is to try to go earlier to see if you can get your FP done. In NWK you have to re-schedule your appt. if you are unable to make it - the number is on the notice as is the reschedule form. I would personally not advise to re-schedule as that could lead to...

    How is 3FP generated

    I received a notice to go for my fingerprints a third time - but this was continuation of my 2FP - becasue they were not readable. So in essence I did go for my fingerprints a third time - but it was due to any requirement other then a reconfirmation. I have never heard of a 3rd FP - so far.

    GC Lost

    Clueless123 I would also agree that you call BCIS and let them know that you have not received the card. This will be faster. Also - just as an FYI - never carry your original GC\EAD or AP with you - carry a photo copy of these if you are paranoid about being asked for them. You always...

    help, h-1 6 years expired!!!

    It is imperative that you apply for your EAD. It will save you a lot of headaches. You will then have to apply for an AP (Advanced Parole) so you can travel in and out of the country freely. Both are valid for a year - after which they need to be renewed. Do it ASAP.

    Boycott Travelling through UK - AP Travelers

    Dude, Calm down. It's not only for Indian Nationals. It's for Nationals belonging to a whole slew of countries. Plus I would rather pay a little extra (sure it's a pain applying and waiting etc.) for the DATV so I can walk into an airport with a bit more assurance of not having my self...

    Question on I-94

    Correct. If you are working based on your EAD then you need a valid AP in order to travel in and out of the country. The expiration date on your I-94 does not really count - only in relation to your current AP. Furthermore. Whenever you travel out of the country and re-enter you have to...

    Should I contact congressman?

    To Checkthisout - the FP notice is usually received by both you and your lawyer - unless you have changed address and BCIS is not aware of the new address. To Robi - the fingerprints themselves do not expire but the results could have. They want to re-run the prints again after a year in...

    UK Transit visa

    Vidchin What I understand from the websites is to obtain the Transit Visa if you do not have a valid US visa in your ppt. Since AP does not fall in the "visa in the ppt" catergory I would say AP or no AP - a DATV has to be obtained by the Nationals of the countries listed under "waiver does...

    Do I have to inform INS now?

    DehliWalla Remember when one says travel on an H1 visa - one has to have a multiple entry H1 visa to be able to travel in and out of the country. If your H1 was issued while you were in the US then it is most likely just a H1 visa - which would mean you do not have multiple entries...
