hard to say Dual "PR" is lot harder than Dual citizenship, because you need to maintain residency status in order to keep your PR status. If you are really interested in both, the best would be becoming canadian first, then applying US PR. It took me three months in 96 to get my Canadian PR...

no problem for me. That should not cause problem, this is what my lawyer told me and also my experience. Our 485 got approved on Aug 23 while we were oversea. We returned to States from SFO on Sept 15. We were sent to secondary inspection, and no question was asked before officier stamped on...

if you are approved while you are oversea, you should be able to come back with your valid AP (my experience), but you should not use your H1B in this case (told by my lawyer, so I did use my AP and not H1B to re-enter US). However, if you are approved when you are in US, and you have I551...

However, I heard that in the naturalization oath, one will be asked to renounce any allegiance to a foreign sovereignty and has to submit his/her previous (Canadian) passport. Is this true? I know Canada allows dual citizenships. but for US, it seems to be very vague. Anyone has realy...

Congrat WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP , WHEN DO I GET STAMPED AND WHEN DO I GET THE CARDS , AND HOW SOON CAN I LEAVE MY JOB YOu can stamp as soon as you get your approval. Although some said you can stamp using the courtesy copy, I suggest you wait for your original one (will be sent to your lawyer...

dont waste your time on LUD Don't waste your time on monitoring LUD. As pointed by lots of people, LUD doesn't mean anything. Actually, you can't even trust the online status message. For my case, my online status never got changed until I got the approval notice. So my suggestion is to...

For my case, online message showed "case not found" for my son's case since our cases were approved. However he did receive the notice. Difference, for us, we received approval notice, but for kid, they received welcome notice directly. So if you son is approved, you should receive the welcome...

I have seen some post before talking about changing the SSN card after 485 approved. Our old SSN card has some condition written (such as "employment under authorization"), should we apply for a new card without that condition? thanks,

What photo style to use for pp stamping? Thanks for sharing the experience. I will try Manchester INS. What style of photo you use for stamping? The approval notice still asks for the side facing photo, but I have seen some post saying that since 09/01, new front facing photo is required...

It has been nearly 4 weeks since my son received his welcome notice, but we have not received his actual card. I couldn't find his status from the web, so I am not sure if his card has been mailed. According to welcome notice, he should get his card within 3 weeks, we wonder if card is lost. How...

We were told to go to Boston Office to do the stamp, however, entering my home zip code (NH zip code) in infopass website shows the following: At this time, there are no information appointments available for the office in your area. Please try back again later. If I use some zip code in...

Our cases were approved in Aug 23 while we were oversea. We had no problem at all re-entering US using AP at San Francisco Airport. No question asked. Just presented our (Canadian) passports and APs and white I-94. The immigration officer at the port of entry did the first inspection, entering...

HI All, Our cases (NOv 22) were finally approved on Aug 22 according to online status. However, we are currently on the oversea vacation. We have valid AP, but wondering if we can still use AP to re-enter the US when I-485 were approved. Anyone has experience on this? What should we be aware...

I don't think pounding FBI for name check will do any good. Most of delay are at INS side. From information that I got, most of name check are done almost at the same time around the first FP. It is the INS delay that caused the 2FP, and further delay. We have no control of that at all. I have...

I know one with RD in Nov/01, EB1 who is still waiting!!

no clear answer I don't mean to discourage anyone, but it seems that it really depends, and definitely there is no rule on this. I have seen one case who got a second FP2 and RFE in early 2003, but still waiting now. His 485 receipt date was Nov/Dec 2001. every case is different, unfortunately...
