Hi Guys,
I am planning to go to the San Franciso INS for stamping of my passport. Can you guys tell whn should I plan to be there? I heard that we have to go there as early as 5am?
Pls share you stamping experience.
I would call IIO
Spark777,
If I were you I would talk to IIO to validate the address. As per the online status. It clearly says that you call IIO after 14days of approval. In your case it has been about 15days.
Congrats
Suresh, Where are you located?
My 485 was approved on 10/11 and I am yet to receive the courtesy copy (in CA). However I recd the email from my lawyer (in NJ) and he has recd the originals. Hopefully I'll also have the copies in my mail tonight.
8-10 days is pretty much what...
Need not worry
I believe she should not have any problem entering US as her AP would be valid when she plans to enter.
I have kinda similar acse. My wife is coming to US on the same date of her expiry of AP. Our 485s have been approved but not stamped.
Do not worry u should be okay. I...
Patience and discipline
I got approved in about 13 montsh after RD, still waiting for that letter though.
One thing I would like to say is that it becomes intolerable if you think that it is the final goal. Over a lifespan of 70yrs this might not even be on your top 10 milestone list and I...
What was the mailing date?
Phas gaya could you also share following info regarding your case,
What was your mailing date for renewal applications (AP and EAD)?
When did you receive the receipt? How long did it take?
Thanks in advance
to telecomguy
Your case is very similar to me. I have not used the EAD yet. And my H1b is still valid.
My understanding is that after I485 approval your h1 is invalid. While your I485 is pending you may use H1 for re-entry but not after it has been approved. My lawyer emplained that on H1b...
rajiv
it is ok only if the person return before expiry of Advance parole because I-797 Approval Notice by itself does allow entry to US.
Again POE may or may not put the stamp for 1 yr depends upon the officer.
Another talk with lawyer
I actually had another talk with my lawyers and there I came to know that I had been talking to a paralegal. So I just spoke to an actual attorney.
Conversation with her was brief and she stressed that I should call her before expiry of AP (STRONG RECOMMENDATION). As...
Talked to lawyer just now
All,
I just spoke to my lawyer. Our conversation was incomplete and she will call me again. Following is the brief on what she told me:
According to her, the AP renewal will get rejected bcoz the I485 application has been approved. Our renewal was mailed on 10/8...
Stamping for H4 is different than stamping for AOS
dec11thRD, No disrespect but I do not agree with you on this.
The stamping you described is for H1b and basically it is just a visa stamp based on your H1b approval. In this case you may change consulates although not advised. However In...
ThakurSahab interesting quote
ThakurSahab, Can you tell me source of that information? To me that seems that anyone with AOS application approved can get in if they have proof of approval. Is that correct?
Also I agree with bakshi and others regarding my best bet to call het early.
But I...
Thanx again
Thakx for all your feedback.
Couple of thoughts..
I will talk to my lawyer tomorrow morning and update this thread on what she recommends. (Fragomen Del rey)
Based on the suggestions so far, I believe the best bet would be to get her h-4 visa stamped. The above I would get...
to pittsburgh and bakshi
Pittsburgh, I did not understand what u said. Pls rephrase for me. Thanks for the effort anyway.
bakshi, Clarification here.. I am not saying that H1 /h4 is not stamped. Only h1/h4 extension is not stamped on pp (Original which expired in 8/2001).
If APs do come...
to dma_va
Yes i have sent email to my attorney too and she usually takes about 24hrs to get back to me.
If she can come back using her h4 extension only then that is a very good news for me;)
dma_va and TheRealCanadian further Quest..
Thanks for ur response.
I have not used my EAD yet so I am on H1b still.
Follow-up Questions:
Just to keep her h4 status valid I would have to stay on h1b that means I should not get my PP stamped until she re-enters US. Is that correct...
