Sorry, Asking on behalf of my friend: For GC holders, what is required if you travel by land from WA to Vancouver? I heard passport is required starting "Spring 2009".... Not sure what is indeed needed, checked CBP website but in vain. Oh, ok for USC also, what is required now?

Not sure folks know that or not. See attachment.

See the two attachments. Note asylees are admitted as "immigrants", and after one year they will be "regarded as" permanent residents. Asylee "adjust" their status to LPRs after one year, and the date of residence is one year before AOS, not the date of admission for refugees. I think...

It has been a while and I just came back to this forum. Sorry guys that I forgot (really) to give you some update on my interview as I started my new life for quite some time. Briefly, they did ask about the renewal of my passport, and going back to my COP. I explained my situation...

based on marriage with USC. Since they interview me, I guess my background check has been clear. It is stated that the processing of N-400 is "7 months" in New York City, and it has been 5 months I filed the petition. Will report what the heck they ask me about tomorrow. I had gone back...

I applied a RP in Feb 07. Got three consecutive LUD but no message change. Should I expect something in the mail? If so, what should I expect, RFI or RP?

The I.O. told me that I should not use RTD anymore. Can they do that????

Hi all, Just wanna give you guys about the timeline of these requests: I got all my I485 paperwork and FBI name check results back, however: I-485 requests: it took about a year. six months after I sent them the request, calling in, "the good news is that it was scanned into the...

ok. ladies and gentlemen, here is something important: when you go to international trip, if you are e-checking in, the airline will ask you to input your passport information. for those holding RTD, the "issuing country" should be the country of origin, NOT "UNITED STATES". normally, you...

The text is too big for PM. :) : Nearly every person who has ever dealt with the USCIS knows that in some cases, the agency simply fails to move forward with a case despite taking every conventional effort possible. In these cases, there is ultimately only one action that the aggrieved party...

The security is really tighten. Gone thru a lot of crap. Had to show them even my Canadian PR docs. Done biometrics...... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

Due to recent worldwide events and security concerns, the USCIS has initiated security clearance requirements all immigration applications including N400 of who are nationals of or who have visited certain countries. Please be advised that if you are born in or have recently visited one of the...

However, September 11, 2001 profoundly affected our business operations, employees, and stakeholders. New guidance was issued, security background checks were enhanced, and new processes were implemented, including conducting interviews for the National Security Entry Exit Registration...

The USCIS recently issued a policy memorandum indicating when USCIS offices may waive the interview requirement in green card cases. The purpose of allowing waivers is to help USCIS offices better manage their limited resources. The categories within employment-based immigrant visa...

Just heard from my attorney that a new lawsuit has been filed to force government to backdate GC as the date of asylum approval, based on "inequality compared with refugee adjustment". Will provide more info when I am less busy. :)

USCIS has issued guidance on how refugees and asylees who travel outside the United States without first obtaining advance parole or refugee travel documents are to be treated. Issued in the form of a legal memorandum by USCIS General Counsel Bo Cooper, the guidance addresses the following...
