xpadre, Thanks for your reply. In this case the 485 for wife was filed with her maiden last name. The idea was to change the name after 485 was done. But now it is time to renew the passport so maybe it is better to change the name while 485 is pending. Does anyone know of a form which is...

Has anyone tried changing the name while 485 is pending? What are the steps involved? Thanks for your response.

I applied for an EAD renewal in Jan 03. Got my iEAD on 91st day. There is no news about my actual EAD yet. If my iEAD expires and I don't get my EAD till that time, can I go and get another iEAD on the basis on my previous application? I would think they would issue second iEAD based on...

Oops !! I was talking about Indian citizens.

Guys (and Gals), Can we compile a small list of countries where you need to get a (transit) visa if you are travelling on AP.

Please provide a link to your source.

Glad to know that your family got the visa. Good luck with your own visa.

Could you let us know what happened in the interview? I hope you got the visa. What all questions and documents did they ask for?

Logicators, Thanks for your answer. You say "tried to enter" which seems like you are talking about time when visa was not required. Can you confirm this? Even if that is the case, I would think that US consulate in Canada would follow pretty much the same rule for issuing visitor visa...

People, Do you know if they are really strict when issuing US visitor visa to Landed Immigrants in Canada? Is this something like India or are they much relaxed here? The person in question is a new (1 month old) Landed Immigrant from India. Still looking for a real job and meantime doing...

SUSOG, Is your wife's cousin in US now? How did it go with the interview? Can you please update us about the paperwork you had sent and what all did she take with her. I am curious to know if they are as strict as they are in India and visa denials are as common! Thanks.

This is scary. Is BCIS drying to dodge the problem with iEADs? If you don't get a receipt you can't get iEAD. No iEAD means no work !! All of you guys should call IIOs and get a FAX number for an inquiry. Those who have applied through lawyers should follow this up pretty much every day...

Thanks for your interest. These 4 subtopics seem accurate. Also, there is lot of information available on www.path2usa.com. We can get the docs from there and change the info for Canada and ask this site to put it up there so that everyone can benefit from it. What do you think?

Yesterday I read a post on this board and someone said they were able to get a visitors visa for parents while on EAD and AP.

Excite, As far as I know, yes it will be a problem. A visitor visa is issued when they establish that you have no intent to stay in US and you just want to visit for pleasure or business. Now, you already have a 140 in place which shows your intent to migrate. I never applied for a...

People, I am wondering if someone has a step by step guide detailing the whole travel/immigration process for a person who is coming to Canada for the first time. Or can we put together some points? This will be really helpful for people who are making an international trip for the first time.

They should give DL based on EAD. How does it matter if it is the first EAD or second/third EAD? Actually, some sates have a provision where you can request DL issued beyond the date your EAD/H1 expires. You have to explain the case and the decisions are made on a case to case basis. Check...

Two IIOs talking at lunch time : IIO #1 : Did you check out immigrationportal.com today? IIO #2 : These guys crack me up. Though our previous victims tell them about the games we play, still they call us and expect correct answers. IIO #1 : Sometimes I feel bad for them. I really want...

It does help MCI/AT&T or whoever your long distance carrier is. As far as the you (callers) are concerned, talking to IIO leaves you confused and with wrong information.

Thanks for your answers people. I have one more question. Is there something special involved in Income Tax clearance certificate for people in Govt. Service? My friend's agent (who helps with forms and stuff) in India is giving a hard time saying that a special NOC is required from his work...
