They check international databases made available to the USA by foriegn countries, Interpol etc. They don't ask foriegn countries for people's background information. If they did, as letsien pointed out, nobody would ever pass the FBI namecheck if they were from an unfriendly nation.

I can't understand the attitude where its OK for us to bring random family members to America who will be a burden on the state, but H-1 visas to bring skilled workers to this country are "controversial". Talk about ass-backwards.

This is also my experience. My interviewer told me that photos are "too easily faked", and that they didn't accept email as proof. However my joint bank statement and car insurance did nicely.

Because its not real unless the president issues a press release right? ;) I tend to agree with you though, the reports so far have been mainly about how people are "outraged", rather than actual facts. Its probably just wishful thinking on my part that hoping that its true. I'm still holding...

Sorry - I only read thread titles. Not the body. ;)

With, I-130 yes. That wasn't the question though was it? ;)

They're not talking about cutting off spouses or (non-adult) children. Just "extended family". Good. We need smart workers in the USA, not people who got lucky because their sister married an American.

Why would they? Does the I-485 ask for such evidence?

Its not unsubstatiated, its been reported in the news. http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/topofthehour.aspx?StoryId=74294 Personally I support this move. Family based immigration should be limited to spouses and non-adult children IMHO. At the very least siblings shouldn't be allowed, why the hell...

Nope.

No probs. So did they not like your I-864 I take it? In your other thread your I-864 sounded "complex".

It means all processing on your case has been halted until you send them what they ask for. Forget the 90 day thing, most people's experience is that EADs begin processing again as soon as you return the RFE. I don't know why they put that 90 day language in there, I've known people who...

Mixed messages here. She needs an I-94 to apply for AOS, but she only needs a passport/birth certificate to get married.

Lawyers may use it, but USCIS doesn't. There is no such statute of limitations or any mention of 30, 60 or 90 days in any of the USCIS handbooks for Interviewing officers.

Cool. Good luck!

Yes, just like TheRealCanadian says I am not wrong. Filing for AOS invalidates your F-1, but gives you a "pending adjustment" status which means you're legally present in the USA. PS. Tough shit about what I posted about you earlier. You can accuse me of being an asshole, but the advice I gave...

Then she should have an I-94.

It means your EAD is approved and you'll get it soon, yes.

I did AOS in Philly. Timeline in my signature. Interviewer was a bit of a bitch, but other than that things went smoothly.

That's a myth Lucy.
