Thanks..It was totally unexpected considering that I am from one of those countries where the chances of getting stuck in name check are very high. I wasn't expecting an approval before the end of next year so when I checked last week and saw the status change, I was in for a shock. I seriously...

That was exactly my argument. Thanks a bunch mate.

Hi guys, I passed the final bridge and late received got a status change email "Card Production Ordered" for my I-485. I have not received anything else yet and no other update. I am flying out on vacation to my home country this week on AP. My lawyer told me to go ahead on AP for now. My...

Bump!! Anyone???? Do I need to file an amendment? What is it anyways?

You people keep on talking about an amendment. Can someone be nice enough and let us all know how this thing is filed and where? I hope I dont need to do a lawyer to file this as I am sick and tired of my current lawyer. I would appreciate your response.

First question: How true is it that all of your petitions stay on hold if you get an RFE on even one of the filed petitions (i;e I-485, I-140, I-765 & I-131) and the processing stops until you answer back? Secondly, what are the chances that USCIS will reject an I-140 after approving it. I had...

Ali, I was supposed to go to Ottawa for H1 stamping on June 4th until I got a call from the consulate in Ottawa that my case WILL go for admin processing for atleast 3 months and I can't go back to the US during that time if I come for the appointment. Just wanted to let you know before you...

Yeah, I am a Muslim and have the last name issue.. You shouldnt be worried. For non muslims, Ottawa is pretty good I hear.

Thanks..That means I am screwed..

Hi, My lawyer botched up my concurrent filing in EB2 and UCSIS issued an RFE that we cannot respond to without weakening the case and possibly getting a denial. I would like to withdraw the case and refile with a new lawyer if possible. My question is; will INS refund the filing fees? Any...

Haha.. I HAD an appointment for June 4th at Ottawa until I got a call from the Consulate saying that my case will go for administrative processing for atleast 3 months. So, I said WTF..I'll live out the rest of my days in the US without ever going out.. Such is life..

As I said, It may turn out to be a blessing for anyone going to get a visa as they'll know what is expected in terms of time frame.

Yeh well frankly, I think this is a blessing in disguise. Atleast I know now where not to go..But this is wierd indeed. Everyone I have spoke to has said that they have never heard this kinda thing.

Hi All, Just wanted to share something with you all. I had booked an appointment for my first H1 stamping in Ottawa. Mind you that I am in the US and have come in to the US on two different visas previously (on J-2 and F-2). The appointment in Ottawa was for June 4th and I was hoping that...

I am landing in Ottawa I plan to apply for SIN in Ottawa as well while giving an address in Toronto as this is where I will be based eventually.

Is Quebec still open for H1b stamping? Hi there, It seems that Quebec city is no longer open for H1b stamping. Is that correct? I was trying to book an appointment but it doesnt give me that option. It says that only those people who live in Quebec city area can apply at the consulate.. How...

Thank you..That makes sense

Hi All, I keep on reading on these forums that when cheques for the I-485/I-140 get cashed, one should expect the notice any day. Is that somehow related or dependent on each other? Is there proof to this trend? I got my checques cashed last week. So does that mean I should expect my notice...

So this is confirmed that this memorandum is still valid? No other thing superseded this?

Thanks.. Hey I dont want to sound like a non-believer here but I would appreciate some more people to chime in here..
