Hello, I had applied for an OCI for my daughter. I happened to check the status yesterday and it shows that the OCI is now received and that we need to send the US passport for the match up process. I never received the OCI card email or any details on the match up process. Should I just send...

@JackoLantern, thanks for the info. It confirms my findings (via Google). El Cafe, thanks for the link to the Chennai consulate. That's very useful. Regards, nj_skm

My wife and son went on a visit to India and she seems to have lost her bag containing the wallet which has the green card, driver's license, SSN, credit cards etc. She's supposed to start back in a day so the immediate concern is how can she get a replacement card ASAP? I've been googling...

Hi, my son is a US citizen and his passport is expiring on Apr 26th, 2012. He and my wife are planning to go for a visit to India toward the end of this month, which is Dec 31st. My question is, does he need to have at least six months left on his passport so he can visit India? He currently...

Thanks, nkm-oct23. What if the I-94 has already expired or has a very short time remaining, say a week or so? Would a reasonable extension, say 90 days, be granted upon request?

My friend, an H1B visa holder, passed away on Saturday. His wife and seven year old son are on H4 visa and a two year old daughter is a citizen. How long does his family have before they will be considered overstaying? I believe the H4 visas expire on May 19th. The lady is qualified to get an...

Got approved in Apr 09. Gave FP 3 times. Numerous calls to the customer service number. 2 visits to get my passport stamped with I-551. Wrote letters to senators/congressmen etc etc. Finally applied an I-90. That seems to have done the trick and I got my GC a couple of weeks back. So if...

Thanks for your replies, guys.

Hi all, my wife and I are green card holders. We are traveling to India for a vacation on the day after tomorrow. We just realized that my wife's Indian passport is expiring on June 6th, 2010. We are planning to come back on Apr 24th. Is this ok? Or would we need to postpone the trip till my...

"I-485 rfe help!!!" That subject line sounds like a panicked scream. :) The Gestapo or NKVD is not coming for you. Chill out. Wait for the actual notice to arrive and see what evidence is being requested. Most likely it's something simple that can easily be taken care of. nj_skm

All, my I-485 was approved Apr 28th, 2008. I haven't received my physical green card yet. After numerous phone calls, they finally sent me a biometrics appointment, which was done a couple of weeks back. Does anyone have an idea how long it might take for me to receive the GC? I'm planning to...

Thanks for the reply. How did you make the appointment? The website is as user unfriendly as the rest of the USCIS. :) Did you take the case transaction number? Thanks, nj_skm

Do both parents have to be GC holders? QUITINe, does this apply to you?

Hi all, my I-485 (EB2) was approved on Apr 28th, 2008 but I still haven't gotten the physical GC. I'm tired of the BS they keep giving me whenever I call them. I'd like to get an infopass and get my passport (and the wife's) stamped so that in case I need to travel I'm covered. However...

Hi, I'm a recently approved PR. I'm moving. Do PR's need to file AR-11? Also, I haven't received my card yet. Should I update my address on the I-485 application so that they will send the card to the right address? I believe the card is held up due to lack of biometrics. Thanks, nj_skm

I got mine in a few weeks (less than two months)

Call up the customer service number and confirm with them if they really need a five month old's finger prints. Isn't the baby a US citizen?

Not true. When my EAD was approved, I remember the notice said that the notice could be used for work up to 30 days from notice date. I joined a new job using the notice and later gave them a copy of my EAD card.

All this for nothing! :) Good for him. Approval of 485 IS the end of the road. Tell him to chill and find a job that he likes...

Finally! Congrats!!
