Thank you guys. I really appreciate it. You can't imagine the things I had to go through over the past years, the unpleasant meetings I had to have with my managers, the conniptions I had, the lengthy emails I had to send, the checks I had to draw, the opportunities I had to forgo... But now...

Hey guys! Sorry for keeping you waiting. Let me cut right to the chase! We had the interview. We got the verbal approval from the officer. A few hours later we already got the CPO! :) And the status already has switched to decision (as expected), which means the welcome letter is mailed and...

Are you subject to the 2-year home country presence requirement? In that case, you will also need a waiver to be able to adjust status. You may be already aware of that! :) No. Unless he wants to switch jobs. Otherwise, it is advisable not to use the EAD card, or he wouldn't have a fall back...

Hold on to the fee; it may go to waste. You will learn that you are current about 75 days before your actual current month (either by your number being less than the cut-off or your region going All Current). For instance, in mid-July the August visa bulletin is released. The August visa...

Have you already looked at this spreadsheet? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AozhLxh12qzYdDU3WkxHaFFtdVI4Y01oTFc3ZnZlb1E#gid=6

Sadly enough it is more than likely that Asia may not go All Current at all this year.

A bit (a lot?) on the high side.

The meaning is slightly different if you are already in the US and want to adjust your status to permanent resident without leaving the US. malek26, what are your intentions with regard to the next steps?

Agreed.

Thanks man. I will give an update as soon as possible.

Where are you going to do the interview? In your native country? The US embassy staff are well familiar with the local procedures and official documents. Ask them what they expect to see.

After your immigrant visa is initially issued, you can stay outside the US for up to 1 year after the activation as you are new immigrants and they understand that you might need some time to wrap up your business in your home country.

Enjoy California weather man! You have earned it :) See you (more regularly) in a couple of days!

You should be in status at the time your I-485 is accepted. After that, even if your existing status expires, you will be on "Pending Adjustment of Status" status, which is OK. s6656 was in this situation. http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?p=2668576#post2668576 He was in status at...

+1 lotteryvisa2014, You are not too late, but you need to hurry. Get a hold of the package and make sure you understand what was sent to where. As for the interview schedule in NYC field office, some FO's take your priority date (when you were current) in consideration when setting up...

Thank you guys :) No worries. I have high hopes.

Interesting! Thanks for the link. However the link says that even absence between 6 months and 1 year could be OK, as far as you can defend it appropriately. I think the absence within the first year of LPR status is similarly defensible. I also found this link, which has a very...

Are you sure of this? I was under the impression that only a re-entry permit would reset the counter. My impression is that if you have not violated the terms of your green card (staying out up to 1 year at the beginning is not a violation) all you needed was to have been present in the US a...
