sdang, if you want an attorney to look over your AOS package, just hire one for a one hour consultation or so, immi lawyer rates would not top 200-250/h and 1 h should suffice. They won't submit the whole thing for you and officially represent you in your case with this approach, but you can be...

Sica, congrats! NO interview?? is that common?

Dear friends, has anyone here come across the stipulation that you cannot do AOS if you just got / renewed your non-immigrant visa? I read that if you do AOS within 30-60 days after entering with new visa, you risk getting rejected. IT IS BAD FAITH TO TRY TO CHANGE YOUR VISA CATEGORY DURING...

did you have success with the G4 -> GC? do you know if in this process you were allowed to travel in and out of the US after filing your i485? (H1 is allowed to, others not) G4's? send private message if you can. thanks

Thanks Izzy!! This is very very helpful for anyone pondering CP/AOS switch.. Very annoying that I already got the medicals done here in US and that they don't trust their own US doctors and have to redo but OK... whatever it takes. Sorry if this is way out of scope for this thread , but...

How recent a police report? (CP backup plan) As discussed somewhere earlier in this thread, some of us might wanna consider getting the police report from our homecountry that's required for CP. 1. As i may switch to CP, does anyone know how recent a report should be? I could not find...

Natta, do you have a firm answer as to how long the graceperiod is for J1? are you sure u are not overstaying the visa and by the time you file Oct 1 be considered out of status? I will have equal borderline timing later this year so would love to hear how you all decide between CP and AOS with...

CP vs AOS I am weighing the tradeoffs of AOS vs CP due to my visa potentially expiring a tad bit too early. Unfortunately there is no such active thread here as our AOS-only thread, so please excuse me for posting here the following question: 1. CP appointments are sent to us by KCC after...

Visa expires after i485 filed Good afternoon, everybody! Quick question: Once I file the i-485, I will remain "in status" until GC is issued/resolved? My visa will likely expire shortly after I expect to become current, so I wonder if I need to worry about getting a new visa (e.g. H1)...
