    Update - Newark Stamping experience

    This is the first time I hear the SSN card should be updated. Does it really? Correct me if I am wrong, but CG-holders still require work authorisation, and the CG is the authorization document... And Social Security Administration does not care what type of work authorization one has - H1...

    Vermont - Photos Rejected, need advise

    Unless you go to a lab with really obsolete equipment or your photo is made with instant Polaroid (butt-ugly stuff), your photos are going to be "digital". Modern printing machines scan the film, and beyond this point there is no difference in printing process between film and digital. All the...

    AC21 Question

    I left my sponsoring employer about 60 days after I-140 approval (I-485 was pending way beyond 180 days), notified the USCIS about the job cahnge. Got approved without RFE.

    How much elay does AC21 introduce in 485 approval?

    I don't have any proof, but I have a strong feeling that filing AC-21 in fact sped up my I-485 approval. Maybe something like that happened: they got my AC-21, pulled my case to do some check and add the docs, didn't see anything fishy and instead of just shoving it back on a shelf put it in...

    Info Pass Appt

    I was trying to schedule an appointment for passport stamping in Manchester, NH office and I've got the same message. My guess is not all offices support InfoPass yet. I think I'll take my chances and go walk-in... I did it before for fingerprints, and although the FP request directed me to...

    InfoPass - what the @%&*#???

    I've tried to make a passport stamping appointment on the InfoPass website, entered my zip-code, and that's what I've got right after: At this time, there are no information appointments available for the office in your area. Please try back again later. What the hell does it mean?! Do I...

    485 / AC-21 - approved

    I do not have exactly the same title - the title in the I-140/I-485 applications is "programmer analyst"; current title (also mentioned in the AC-21 letter) is "software engineer". The job description in the EVL which I submitted along with AC-21 letter is pretty similar but not exactly the...

    How long for fingerprint result ?

    Nope, the messqages have not changed. There were no even messages when second FP notices have been maled... I am under impression that 2nd FP notices were generated and mailed automatically, the day first FPs expired.

    FOIA to get Approved 140 petition

    Well, maybe I did it in some "not kosher" way, but that's exactly what I did after leaving my sponsoring company - filled the form and sent it... Got copies of substitute LC, approved I-140 and other papers in three months in a regular mail. It's that simple. Where did you get those...

    I-485 will be denied if you continue with same employer....

    Pardon my ignorance, but could you elaborate a bit what is 245i, how is it tied to LC approval date and how can it help in such situation? This case scares me... At the beginning of my H1 career I worked for a shitty bodyshop which sent people all over the country and for sure never bothered...

    Early FP done and another FP notice

    I've been in the same situation with my fingerprints. I did the FP earlier than first notice appointment, and then recieved 2nd notice. I went to the office, they checked the system and said the second notice was send by mistake. Probably it's better to show up second time - who knows, maybe...

    Finger print appointment in Dallas.. can I get fingerprinted with in Maryland?

    I've just done my 2nd FPs today. The appointment came from my "old" office (CO) where I did first FPs. I went to the nearest office (NH), a week later after appointment date on the notice. They did fingerprints, no quesion asked about appointment's place and date.

    Belated Fingerprint notice - how to handle?

    Hi All, I have the following situation - for some freaking reason the USCIS sent second fingerprint notice to my former employer. The employer sent it to me to my former address, and it took a week for the Postal Service to forward it to me. As a result I have received the notice one day...

    FOIA problem

    A sender of a mail does not really matter. It all depends how the package was mailed. If it was mailed with "Return service reques" / "Forwarding address request" option (as most official corrspondence is mailed) the package will be returned. But it looks like USCIS considers results of FOIA...

    Did anybody see such case status message?

    This what my I-484 case status says now, and I have no clue what does it mean: "On August 20, 2004, we responded to your request for more information concerning your case. If you have not received our response within 30 days from this date, please call customer service at 1-800-375-5283."...

    FOIA problem

    For FOIA you should do nothing. I moved after filing the FOIA request, and received the requested documents on my new address - US Postal Service simple forwarded it like any other mail.

    Online Status messsage...

    The same happened to my 485 case, also filed in March. Maybe they just toppled over the bookcase, and updated dates mean clerks have managed to put everything back.

    AC21 filing samples - where are they?

    Great! And one more question - how to address the package? Just a service center address, or some additional lines: "AC 21 filing / I-485 additional documents / something else"?
