Okay if this is any comfort to you, last december 2003 I travelled to India, Pending I-485 application, H1-B expired in oct 2003. I was travelling with advance aparole and had valid EAD. No problems upon entry, I had a new passport as well. They did not even see my old passport which had old...

I found this forum extremly useful and attribute my wifes quick visa process after reading the postings on here. Hence I am trying to help out others as much as I can as sometimes people are misled by lawyers who we assume know everything regarding immigration under the sun, in reality they...

Just a copy is enough. I sent only copies and had no problem. However she had orginal w2 forms with her incase adn they did not ask for it. 1040's are just copies as these days most of them file electonically. SO relax its gonna be okay.

Marrying her before her I-485 petition is approved ( Not Physical card) is the best option. Else you have to wait for near 5 years for your visa in family category. If you marry her before her approval, u can still file I-485 as a dependent since you are already in the country legally, you...

Dont worry, the lady there always says it takes 2 to 3 months. They told me the same thing when I called them first, later after a week my wife received a letter with case # and after a month, a letter with Interview date and packet4. So relax!

In Madras you walk in, no appoitment necessarry.

If you have already submitted the I-824 receipt notice, copy of your welcome letter and GC ( color copy, scan and print color) to the consulate when you submitted your application, they will go ahead and process and create a case number. Later when you go for interview, if you have other...

I dont think you can bring her here on h1-4 as you have already in adjustment status. To bring her back on H4, you have to be on H1. I am not sure if that means you will be withdrawing your GC application and than bring your wife here on H1-4 and than again apply together for adjustment status...

Yes, All 3 sealed is because they were sending it with the courier. The only thing she should not open is the the packet that is marked do not open. Use the immigrant visa on the passport for travelling. Upon arrival at Port of entry they will process the sealed packet. She has to go to the...

Thanks bro, Got the PCC just before the interview. One from the Passport office since the passport is more than 6 months old,Local police station in the area where she lives in Bangalore, District police station ( Headquarters) where her parents live ( thats where her permanent address is). So...

I -134 is a very important document that is a must for FTJ. Its a sworn affidavit notarized with all your income and other details. In lieu of that I think I-864 will suffice ( again this is affidavit of support), however in the documentation which consulates sends you with various instructions...

MereGuru, Usually the letter comes a week after they have posted it on the website. Medical can be done anytime before your interview. It takes only a day for the whole process. However, in their instructions they say to get it earlier since sometimes the lab report takes lil longer. My wife...

Nippon, I think when u do follow to Join it is specific to a person, one uses I-134, affidavit of support where you need to show employment letter. But if you are using I-864, than Joint sponsor would work as there is provision for that. I am not sure if they will accept I-864 for follow to...

I think only your father can sponsor her since she is deriving FTJ from him. Only way is for you guys to pull it together and make some financial arrangements for your father so that he can show enough bank balance. Get a employer letter with some salary, Show some bank balance, real estate etc...

Check out the website, they have their address listed there. Send it by FEDEX, you will have tracking information. Once the document has reached the destination, call the consulate after a week to Confirm, if you are lucky they will have your case # ready :). Good Luck!

Srinivas, I thought I answered your question in the earlier reply. Again the I-134 that I submitted which I downloaded from the INS website in MAY 2004, for Question # 11 in brackets they had mentioned ( answer this if comming to stay temporarily..somethng like that). But I understand your...
