No Title I feel like such an idiot. After posting the above message, I went back and checked. I stand corrected. We did our medical exam and enclosed the results WITH the 485 application. Sorry if I misled anyone. Amar

No Title Just curious. You say "The I485 form says "wait for INS instructions for medical exam" ", then why don\'t you wait for the INS instructions? My experience was that after filing I485, we waited till we received the INS instructions regarding the medical exam. And...

No Title I don\'t think you need to worry about that. My wife has the same kind of a problem with her name. In most computer generated documents, her name is truncated (in her case it is only the last one letter and not 4 like you). But it has never been a problem for her. And she got her...

No Title Q1. You can do any darn thing you want. You can get your GC as a rocket scientist and then go and flip burgers at your local McD. No one will care. Q2. There dosen\'t seem to be a set rule. But people in the know say that you should stay at least 6 months. Q3. I don\'t see any...

No Title I was told that your passport should be valid for at least 6 months when you go for your passport stamping after your 485 is approved. Why don\'t you get it renewed? It should not take long. And if you go personally to the Consulate, you can get it renewed the same day.

No Title I am surprised they forgot to take your I94s. Stamp in passport is good enough for travel. However, you should receive your plastic cards any day now. So, why not wait a little longer and travel with your card?

No Title Both my wife and I had the same problem. So we got affidavits from close relatives and NOT parents -- in my wife\'s case it was her grand-father and a maternal uncle. In my case, it was two of my cousins (who are old enough to vouch for my birth). And just for the heck of it, I had...

No Title Just take what ever they ask for on the appointment letter. Don\'t volunteer any more. Why invite trouble?

No Title VJ: I don\'t know who told you that the New Orleans office only does emergency APs. Their web-site says nothing of the sort. You can check for yourself at: http://www.ins.gov/graphics/fieldoffices/neworleans/ABOUTUS.HTM#anchor155614 Here is an excerpt from the above web-page...

No Title This happened to me last year. I was waiting for my 485 to be approved when my brother-in-law died in India. I wanted to go home in a rush and be with my sister. I went to the local INS office in Philadelphia and applied for an emergency AP. I was rejected because a brother-in-law is...

No Title You cannot take your husband\'s passport for stamping. He needs to be there himself. Your approval notice will contain the details about the date when you can go to get your pssport stamped. And yes the longer you wait to get your passport stamped, the longer it will take to get...

No Title You are quite welcome. Glad to be of assistance. And all the best to you. And you have a great day too. Amar

No Title 1. When you go to get your passport stamped, you will have to give 2 photographs and your fingerprint both of which will be used on the actual card. I don\'t think there is any other procedure by which you can get them that stuff. So, you will have to go to get your passport stamped...

No Title Yes, Priyadarshini, that is exactly what I am saying :-) Amar

No Title My passport was valid for 8 months when it was stamped for a year. And the plastic card is valid for 10yrs. Amar

No Title Thanks. The only documents we (my wife and me) took were the actual approval notices sent to the lawyer, our passports with all the I-94s, and 2 photographs each. Thats all the appointment noticed asked for and thats all we took. They didn\'t ask for the EADs or the advance parole...

No Title How about Rajiv Khanna? I have had consultations with him (free as well as paid) on the phone. The guy knows his stuff and was as friendly and considerate when he was providing free advice as he was when I was paying for his time. The advice he gave was worth every penny I paid. And...

No Title My passport was stamped on the 18th of May. I am still waiting for the plastic cards. You can file a change of address. But you have come this far, can\'t you wait a couple of months? Amar

No Title My lawyer was emphatic that I take the real thing and not the courtesy copy when i went for my stamping in Philly. Amar
