I had checked the consulate web-site a couple of days ago. It stated clearly that green-card holders do not need a transit visa. However, they are required to show that they have a valid passport and greencard. I'll be going through AMS in December.

And I haven't left my employer at all! It has been slightly more that 4 years since I got my GC.

Mine took about 2 weeks

I have, twice. If you are applying at the NY consulate, you can be sure that they will follow the requirements to the letter. Good luck!

Just a will isn't enough, it can take ages for a will to be probated. I think what you need is something called a "living trust" (ask a lawyer, am not exactly sure what it is called), that comes into effect immediately. In that you should clearly state whom you want your children's guardian to...

Looks like the Supreme Court has decided that drunk driving is not a deportable offense. See http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-Scotus-Immigration.html (needs registration) or http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/national/AP-Scotus-Immigration.html

There was a recent thread about possibility of deportation after felony/misdemeanour. The following NY Times article is instructive (and disturbing). http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/11/nyregion/11deport.html

AR-11 asks for date of entry into the US. Should one be using the latest date of entry? I travel abroad often.

30 days? I got my passport renewed last January, it was 6 months short of the expiry date. It had been valid for 10 years. Took only a day to get it renewed (had gone personally).

Some of my senior colleagues who have been permanent residents for decades recently became citizens for just this reason. They found that setting up the trusts etc., even with professional help was non-trivial. From what they told me, it isn't just the estate of a non-citizen that is taxed...

(1) 800 or other toll free numbers are NOT toll-free when dialled from outside the USA (perhaps Canada is an exception, I am not sure). (2) I schedule payments before I leave (I use my bank's on-line bill payment service). Works very well. You can estimate how much you need to pay by checking...

Isn't the whole discussion getting a bit too personal? Just like to add that I grew up in India and moved first to Europe and then to the US, but I agree with JoeF rather than woreq123. Having seen what is standard fare on Indian TV and in Bollywood movies I don't see how one can say...

Thanks Brb2 for saying what I wanted to say. You do not have to go to rural India to face the difficulties: just try and get something done in Calcutta. Bangalore and Hyderabad are the two exceptions to the rule, not the norm. And if you want gas pumped by someone else: live in New...

I agree with brb2! I go to India every year to visit my folks. And the irritation begins usually in a week (if, that is, I ignore the aggravation at the airports). I usually spend some time at the end of my vacation visiting my scientific collaborators and that is when things really get...

Here in CT, in addition to a non-citizen box, there is one for legal permanent resident. They give you an excemption of course, but ask your A#. I have always been amused at the first reason for declining jury duty: "I am the Governor of this state". Always felt like checking that!
