Thanks for your reply. No. I do not qualify under any of the items that Jackolantern mentioned. Would you/Jackolantern advice that I hire a lawyer? Would he know more legal ways/information on getting my citizenship earlier? Thanks again!

Thanks! Thank you for the details you've provided. I greatly appreciate your quick response!

My husband got his GC in Sept 2007, although I filed as his dependent my GC was approved only in Dec 2008. Now my husband will be applying for citizenship in July 2012. Can I send my citizenship application along with him? Or do I have to wait until Oct 2013? Is there any way I can get my...

What if I go without Citizenship and surrender my GC? Is there a post that shows what I'm losing here? Is it wise getting this close to citizenship and letting it go? I'd love to live India and I'm guessing if I go with citizenship I can come back if needed or if my kids are unable to settle...

I got my Green card in Boston on Dec 1st 2008. I will not be leaving Boston for any trips until May 2013. I want to move back to India with my kids in May 2013, so they can start school in India in June 2013. I will retain my appartment in Boston until I get my citizenship. Here are my...

Glad to let you all know that my interview went well yesterday and my GC was approved. The officer was very friendly and only asked general questions to confirm our marriage. He then stamped my passport and said I would receive my card in the next few weeks. I truely thank everybody in this...

It might be. My suspicion is that your employment was unauthorized since you were not in H1 status, and did not change to it. Thanks a lot for your reply. I had my H1 transfered in July 2001. And I worked for company B from 2001 - 2004 on H1. My husband filed his 485 in 2003 and I got my...

I’ve received a notice for I485 initial interview, which is scheduled on Dec 8th. My husband is the primary applicant (Employment based) and I am the dependent/derivative of my husband’s employment based I485. He received his GC about a year ago but we have since then been waiting for my...

Thanks for your replies! I've decided to stay back for the interview!

Rescheduling AOS initial interview It would be great if somebody can advice me on my present situation: I just received my notice for I485 initial interview, which is scheduled on Dec 8th. My husband is the primary applicant and he received his GC about a year ago. I somehow have got my...

Thanks Ginnu. Actually my I-140 is NOT yet approved. I've filed concurrently. Is it still safe to get back on AP?

I came to the US on H4. H4 stamp expired in Feb 2001. I got H4 converted to H1B in Oct 2000 and have been on valid H1B status since then but do not have a stamping on my PP as I have not left the country since I got my H1B. I am afraid to go for a H4 to H1B stamping in Chennai now and so I am...

2. Even if I do get the receipt notice in an acceptable timeframe, does Boston INS office grant emergency AP? Anyone any experiences on that? What documents should I take with me? Should I take another check for the filing fees? I went to the local INS (Boston) last week to get an...

Hi, I came to the US on H4 and then got a H1B visa. I am working for the past 3years on H1B and now need to apply for an extension for the next three years. I have not got H1B stamping on my passport (my passport still holds the H4 stamping with which I came into the US). Can I apply for...

Thanks! Also my lawyer says since my 485 is pending , I must go to India and come back on AP or my 485 will be abandoned. Is that true? Is it safe to go get my H1b stamping in Chennai Consualte and come back on H1B with my 485 pending here? Please let me know.

I do not have an AP. I am trying to find out if I can get one from the local INS office (same day AP). If I don't get an AP and go to Chennai to get my H4 visa stampted to H1, I will have to attend an interview. Is it fine if I say "yes" to filing an immigrant visa? Will that not be a reason...
