My parents are visiting me for 6 months, 5 months and 20 days to be precise. Can I claim them as dependent on my tax return? I am thinking of applying for their ITIN number. Anybody with similar experience has done this? Please share your experience. I know this is not the right forum...

gc_avm and tusker75, you are most welcome. I have the same worry. If I get laidoff now, or if I change my job and then my wife gets a RFE, and INS asks for my paystubs etc, then what-to-do? Hopefully, they won't send RFE for paystubs and company letter.

my case is same like yours. My RD is 08/15/2001 and wife's RD is 04/17/2002. My case already got approved, I got my PP stamped and received the plastic card yestreday. My wife's case is still pending and when I spoke to IIO they told me it will take another 7-8 months. So, I am telling...

Thanks for all the great advise guys. I was in double-minds, thinking whether to go today or wait for the Original Approval letter from my Lawyer. I reached INS at 5:55am and there were 15 people ahead of me. I took, courtesy copy, EAD, AP and he asked for driver's license or some kind of Id...

Hi nagsp, Thanks for your reply. I don't know any Ramesh Tendulkar, when i was creating an userid here, most names I could come up with were already taken. I think Sachin Tendulkar's late dad's name was Ramesh. That is why i remember this name and just chose it. I know Hexaware corp...

my RD = 08/15/2001. I got married in March 2002 and then I brought my wife here to the US, and applied for her I-485 in April 2002. I called an IIO today and he said my wife's case will not be done before April 2003 since RD = 04/17/2002. I explained to him that this is a derivative case...

nagsp: My name is not Ramesh T. I am very bad in making up nicknames. But, I am from Bombay, Andheri(E), close to Seepz. vanati: yesterday I checked AVM at 5:00pm and today at 10:00am I hope all of you get approved very soon. After all, we pay taxes, are law abiding ppl. We should be...

Finally heard the magic words today. Last night AVM said the same old, "on April 10th FP results received and processing has resumed on your case". This morning it said, "This case has been approved on 14th August 2002 and a approval notice has been mailed." What a huge relief. I work...

dma_va, When did I say Ben is a man / boy. I assumed Ben is a woman and was just trying to help her ;-) Who am I to tell her not to marry the girl in her dreams. Its her choice.

I also had this same question, somebody reply. All those lucky bas.... who got approved, tell me one thing. When you check AVM and it says approved, does it tell you that your 485 was approved on what date? Is it the same day you check AVM or usually 3-4 days later, the AVM message...

I applied for my I-485 in August 2001. Got FP notice for 31st Jan 2002, I postponed it by 2 months. Just sent the FP notice back with a letter attached and tell them you can come between so and so date ( 2-3 months later). I went to India in Feb, got married, brought my wife here on H4...

DONE I guess it was my lucky day yesterday. We went to INS Huntington, Arlington VA at 2:00pm. There were some 20-25 ppl seated and we were thinking should we spend 1 hour outside and come back later. But, we thought of asking the lady on the table. As soon as we approached her, a lady...

thanks for your useful replies guys. I will go there tomorrow and give it a try. I will let you all know in the same thread. This is a great board, most ppl here are helpful. And sjy, its the same INS, Hungtinton (Alexandra, VA) Thanks.

My wife's FP was received by INS as unclassified. We received another FP notice in the mail today. The FP date is 09/20/2002, but we don't want to wait till then. Can we? should we go tomorrow? just show up there in the morning. Center = Arlington, VA. Any experience/advice will be much...

i will take you people's advice and refrain from calling today. To whoever is interested: I finally registered with Rupnet. I hate to open new accounts on the web and enter all details and choose passwords, and remember them etc. But I must say, whoever is responsible, has done a great...

my experience I changed my address recently. Called IIO and she took my new address over the phone and changed it. I asked her if I should send AR-11 (or whatever fomr it is) and she said, that was not required. I asked her again at the end of our conversation and she said 'No'. I called up...
