    Train(VSC) has started to move onto next stop(Sept/Oct)

    Guys.. it took full 11 months for first Sept approval to come ( longest wait for any month in past year or so). Hopefully wait from here on will only decrease (not increase). August filers- your cases might already be in the final stages..maybe in 4-5 days most of you will hear good news.

    more troubles for immigrants

    well it seems its only the beginning: 1) Minnesota: for all MN licenses , if you happen to be non-citizen, then it will have a line printed on license: "check status" and date when visa expires. So that when you are pulled over by trooper.. they can check your license more seriously if...
