She was out of the country for 2 years + 4 months. Out of which 2 years are covered by the reentry permit. Basically at the end of the 2 year period, she would have a valid document (reentry permit) to enter back to the US and keep her GC intact. The problem is the 4 months period (i.e. after...

My wife and I had taken reentry permits couple of years back and they expired in Aug. I had traveled to the US before the expiry and applied for one more as my job keeps me away from the US for some more time. Unfortunately, my wife did not make a trip in time. We are now planning on...

I am a GC holder who returned to India about two years back. My Reentry permit is about to expire in 2 months. I am travelling to US next month on business and will apply for a renewal for 1 more year. Not sure whether it'll be approved but will give it a shot anyway. My wife's reentry permit...

I got my GC in Nov, 2004. Now I have couple of opportunities to relocate to India - one through my current employer, the other with another company. Could some one explain how I (and my stay-at-home wife) could protect our Permanent Residency status while still working abroad, say for the next...

I plan to travel to India in a few days. I would have my Passport stamped by then but will not have the Plastic Card itself by the time of travel. I enquired with the British Consulate and they said that I would have to take the Direct Airside transit visa if I am transiting through London. But...

My 485 has been approved in the first week of this month (Nov, 2004). They are asking for additional information (Medical) on my wife's case. I am waiting for the Attorney to send me the BCIS letter on the same as well as docs that we need to carry for my wife's medical. Hopefully, we will...

BaSh and Jack1 mention I94 along with AP, EAD to be submitted at the time of Passport stamping. Sorry for my ignorance, but is the I94 not required for international travel?! (I do assume here that submission means that they get to keep those docs.) My Attorney had given me a copy of all the...

Travel after Passport Stamping Thanks for the reply BaSh. A further query: I am required to travel overseas at the end of this month. I would not have the plastic card by then. So, is the Passport stamping sufficient to re-enter the US or is there such a thing like temporary card that they...

I received Courtesy copy of my 485 approval this week. The original is sent to my company attorney. Will it be OK to carry the courtesy copy for passport stamping appointment or should I wait for the Attorneys to send me the official/original copy of the approval? Also, could somebody please...

Jack1: How do you know that your name check was completed in Jan 2003?! Especially given that you did your 1st FP in Sept 2004. Could you please clarify/explain a lil bit. Also, Is there a number to call and find out about the name check?! Thanks.

Could someone please instruct on what to carry (documents, photos etc) for the Finger Print appointment. Is there going to be some waiting time once I go there. I ask so that I can plan my day accordingly. Also, it'll help if anyone can give a brief description of the procedure.

I spoke to my Attorney today. He's been told by TSC that they are going to take up the 2001/2002 cases and start issuing FP notices shortly in the coming few weeks. So, let's keep our fingers crossed.....

My AP application was received at TSC on Dec 18 last year. No approval yet. Talked to the National Customer Service Center agent and he took my details to enquire why it's delayed. Apparently, it will take a month for them to respond to me on the reasons for the delay! Meanwhile, I have to...

My 2nd AP was applied in Dec, 2003. It is still not approved yet eventhough the processing date for I-131 at TSC shows as Jan 29, 2004. My current AP will expire during this month (May). If I have to travel abroad anytime before the 2nd AP is approved, what are my options?! My Lawyer has not...
