NO I-551 STAMP, and applying for SSN Hello all, and specially CP_QUERY (since you were in the same situation) I finally received my Plastic Card on December 2nd. However, my wife seems to be in a mess now. She entered US after me, on December 1. The POE did NOT stamp the I-551 stamp in...

New Development I landed in the same situation as Enigma261. I got a letter from USCIS Texas Service Center, that the POE did not put the I-551 stamp on my application and so, USCIS-TSC cannot process my alien registration. USCIS asked me to send a photocopy of my Passport pages showing my...

CP_QUERY, I dont think I quite understand you, when you say that the I-551 was NOT stamped in your passport. I received the I-551 rubber-stamp in my passport at the POE, and they also wrote by hand my A#, and the date until the stamp is valid, which is 1 year from date of entry. Lets hope...

CP_QUERY: My entry date was 9/8, just 1 day after you entered. So we are in the same situation. Could you please post an update in this thread (or send me a PM, whichever is convenient for You) once you get your welcome letter and plastic card. I will do the same. thanks Sanjay

Also, can someone please post the 1-800 enquiry number given in the Welcome Letter? It think its time I give them a call to inquire.

Folks, Exactly 6 weeks back, I entered US (POE Detroit) after clearing my CP at Mumbai. But so far, I have not received any welcome letter. So, when did you folks get your Welcome Letter. Did anybody go through my situation, that is, several weeks post entry and no Welcome-Letter...

Photo requirement Only the FRONTAL Photo is required. 3/4 Photo NOT required. At the Consulate they take ONLY ONE Photo per applicant. At the POE, I was asked for one additional photo (same FRONTAL style). So, carrying 3 to 4 photos per applicant is good enough. You MUST REMOVE...

I think you can expect your interview date in December. Had it been before Sep 20, you could have expected it in November. I would say, wait until October 10, and then call them up to check if you have been scheduled. They should be able to let you know by Oct 10. If you are not scheduled for...

In the offer letter, you MUST mention the Title on LC/I-140, and NOT your current title. For salary, you can either say: "His current salary is ...." in which case your current salary has to be atleast (equal to or greater than) the minimum salary mentioned in LC. In this case, make sure...

If they do not issue the birth cert with your last name, I believe, you should take affidavits of your parents and your high school cert showing your Birthdate, and that should suffice. Dont lose your sleep if you cannot get the birth-cert in the correct format. But first try to get it again...

Usually the lawyers have their own software, using which they enter all your info, and the software generates the acrobat file. So, I think you can just hand-write the fields that are giving you problem, and inform the lawyer what the problem is. They should take care of it in their software.

I came back on September 8, via Amsterdam. Transit VISA NOT REQUIRED (as of now) if you come back via AMSTERDAM. I do not know about other airports.

Photo Studio in Calcutta Sanjay 76, I would let you know the details of the photo studio in Calcutta. Its on Camac Street. They did a good job. I had both frontal, and 3/4 facing photos taken there. There are two studios in the Camac Street area that do US-Visa/Immigration photos. One is...

My experience - More details Sorry I was out of town. Here are more details: Medicals at Apollo GlenEagles Calcutta: Try to avoid this hospital. They do not know the process very well as they dont handle many candidates. In fact, I was their first employment-based candidate, and the...

My experience Folks, my Consular-Interview and POE experience went well, and now I am in the US on Immigrant Visa. I just returned to US yesterday. I will post my experience in my subsequent email. Just a few relevant points for the benefit of others: DO NOT GO TO APOLLO GLENEAGLES...

Thanks a lot folks. I desperately need some sleep, which I would hopefully get once I board the plane.

Rjain, thanks. What about the Employment Letter. Do I need a second original notarized letter for my wife, or a photocopy will do. My wife will enter US after 3 months. Dont know if that makes any difference.

Urgent Folks, please let me know as I am leaving tomorrow: Is another ORIGINAL Notarized Employment letter required for my wife, or, a photocopy of my Notarized Employment Letter will do. Is there a medical form that I can download from somewhere? Reason is, I am going to Calcutta for my...

sanjay76 and kb, both of you have raised excellent points. I will go and check now, if my W2 income in 2001 (for which I have to sum up the income from previous emp. and current emp.) matches or exceeds income declared in LCA. It also gives me the perfect reason to take all these documents...
