    Education detail in Perm application

    Please confirm with someone so that the difference in educational requirements and actual degree does not cause any issues when you apply for your I-140. Good luck.

    Need specific advice on I140 RFE

    I would recommend that you post this question under the I-140 main forum. I do not think alot of people visit the Texas I-140 section which is probably why no one has responded so far. Good luck.

    I had requested a rescheduling of our fingerprinting appointments to any date after January 01, 2008 (after I had returned from my visit abroad). However the fingerprinting notices were returned with a note saying they could reschedule upto only 3 weeks into the future, and suggested that we...

    Recent Travel Experience to Pakistan on AP

    Walaikumaslam and thanks. I had gotten my H1-B visa stamped from Mexico prior to leaving for this trip. That was a whole episode in itself which I have documented here (also linked to my signature below). I'd heard of visa stamping delays from Islamabad so I decided to have it done from Mexico...

    Advance walk-in not accepted in Dallas Just a FYI: I received our Biometrics notice yesterday evening for Dec 05.

    H1-B stamping advice needed

    You should not have any issues ;) if you do go down to any of the Mexican consulates for your H1-B visa stamping. Just make sure you have all necessary documentation with you. Read up on some postings from other folks who have gone down. You can read my experience from my signature link, but do...

    H1-B stamping advice needed

    The H1-B document you have (valid until 2/2009) authorizes you to work in the US legally and shows your status. The H1-B visa that you recieve in the passport (based on this document) allows you to enter the US when coming from abroad. But Why go through the hassle of getting a visa stamped...

    221g and attending Visa Stamping

    If I am not wrong, you can re-enter the US using your AP, and still maintain your H1-B status. There's been a few threads discussing this. That way you have no need to goto the US consulate to get a new passport stamped visa. Good luck.

    H1B stamping & previous travel to US

    I would recommend that you do mention your earlier visit, though I am not sure if they would have records going back 20 years. If you do get asked about it, show the visa copy. I doubt they will ask for your earlier passport but incase they do, mention you were unable to find the passport since...

    Going for Visa: Passport expiring before Renewed I-797

    MRK, you have nothing to be concerned about. They will probably issue you a visa valid for the duration of your I-797, i.e. until July 2010. When your current passport expires in Sept 2009, apply for a new passport (hopefully before it's expiration). Your current passport will be marked...
