My sister filed I-130 for my brother in 2005 (California Service Center). Now she got an RFE asking for her marriage certificate, her and my borther's DNA test results. Isn't it strange? My sister had included her and my brother's birth certificates showing the same parents. My brother is in...
I have had two alien numbers - one due to I-485 processing and the second due to Consular processing of my I-140 in past. Consular processing comes under US Department of State, while I-485 is via US Department of Justice - so dual alien numbers can happen.
A couple of years ago, while...
Yesterday I and my wife got police clearances (PCC) from the consulate general of India, New York (CGNY).
I thought of writing here this experience in order for others to get some detailed idea. However, kindly note that our case is slightly deviant (will be clear below).
I am Indian...
Today I received Packet 3 from Mumbai consulate even though I had submitted filled up Packet 3 forms along with ACI-140 packet.
Mumbai consulate had received my package on 01/05/2004.
Is it the case for everyone or do I need to re-submit Packet 3?
Thank you.

My EB-2 AC-I140 request reached Mumbai consulate on 01/05/2004 as per FedEX online tracking information. Hopefully, I should be hearing from them by the end of this month about denial or acceptance of the request (so far no e-mails yet).
I am the principal applicant and I have my wife and...
Does Consulate General (CG) of India in NY issue/mail any case number for PCC application? Just curious - I know it takes around 45 days for the PCC at CGNY (thanks to the info from this forum).
As per USPS tracking results, they received my application on 12/21/2003 - but probably still...
If the CP (Mumbai) interview is in April and if the notarized employment letter is dated in February, can it cause any problem?
Company VP plans to go on extended leave in March so she is ready to give me letter earlier. I will have most recent pay stubs though.
Thank you.

Two Questions: Consular Processing, Advance Parole, etc.
1. If, for any reason, immigration visa during the CP is denied (in worst case), can one enter on valid advance parole document and resume AOS?
2. If I-485 (AOS) is approved before CP interview, can one request the consulate to cancel...
For Mumbai CP, I read that notarized letter of employment is needed. Is it a must? How do one notarize original? Or is it a notarized copy of the original?
Thank you.

There has been a lot of anxiety over the fingerprinting issues lately. I compiled following questions from various FAQs of this website. The answers are sometimes CSC-centric, but hopefully will be informative to others as well.
Q-1:What if I want to reschedule my appointment?

I want to understand, if any self-petitioned NIW holder knows, the impact of job change or activity change on pending adjustment of status application. Basically what to do in case of RFE and interview if this is the case.
You can PM (private mail) me if you so desire.
Thank you.

1. In whose favor (naming who? NVC?) the $335.00 visa fee draft should be payable?
2. Is personal check (US bank) acceptable? If not, is US post office money order acceptable to them?
I wish to send the fee draft to India for my mother's family-based case and she hasn't yet received the...
I think earlier we needed to submit visa processing fee (some $335) to the NVC. Has this changed recently? Does the beneficiary now need to pay this fee at the consulate ($335 + $65)?
My sister (a US Citizen) is sponsoring my mother and she received only the affidavit form without any request...
Just curious - when does 15 month expiry period apply? After 15 months of actually doing FP or after 15 months of BCIS receiving FP results? Normally, there's 5 to 15 days gap between these two dates (if FP was done electronically).
May be someone who got 2nd FP notice recently, can confirm...
I see here and on rupnet that a couple of EB-1 based I-485 cases got approved recently without local transfers/interviews.
Does any one know about (theirs or friends') national interest waiver (NIW)-based I-485 having approved at VSC recently without local transfers/interviews? Thank you...
With apologies for using this post for non-immigration purpose, allow me to take liberty of pointing to an interesting link:

My wife's EAD renewal was approved on 01/21 and the online message says something to the effect "we ordered a new card on 01/21/03 and will be mailed to you as soon ready." We haven't yet got it.
Does the online message change after they mail the EAD? If not, how long does it typically take...
Sometime back on this forum, there was a discussion regarding H-1B status after using AP. I found following article which might be useful to those who might have questions regarding impact of AP, EAD, I-485 on H-1B status:
