You can get No Objection waiver or Hardship waiver from State Dept. Check their website for details. It is a lengthy process of about 6 to 8 months from the moment you submit the request to State Dept. After that you have to go through your embassy to get the approval from you gov't that they...

You are talking about Foreign Residency Waiver or No Objection waiver, right? If so, I'm not sure if it is the same for H1 and GC, but when I was going for my green card, I was told that I can't submit anything without getting the No Objection waiver first.

I agree with mfloress..any relative doesn't apply, only immediate family: parents and siblings, not even grandparents. But good thing is she cannot be denied just based on her disability because that would be discrimination. If she can, she should get an advice from the lawyer. Maybe there is...

The money and stocks should be fine. Now if you stay in your F1 status and don't drop out of school, your status should be okay. In case they deny your application at the interview, you can just continue the F1 status. If you drop out of status, you will have problems going back into the US.

They do FBI check. If you want, you can get police certificate from the county sheriff you lived in US. But from others people experiences, it is not needed.

Start the waiver process, because you will need it in either case. The sooner you start, the better chances you have. Once your embassy gets approval from your gov't, make sure they send the letter by Fedex so that you can get the signature confirmation.

Well sort of...lawyer prepared it, my husband got a letter from his company stating at what position and how long he has been with the company. Also, we included copies of the 2 most recent paystubs.

San Francisco. As per lawyer, it all depends on the officer.

Hello everybody, Today my AOS application was approved. As per popular demand her is my experience: May 28, 2004 - Received the congratulation package from KCC; Immediately called lawyer who is also a family friend. Next day went to see him and paid retainer. Week later he requested for $20...

From my experience in San Francisco, I've got EAD in March and my interview is at the end of June. Those are three months that I can work, rather then just sit and wait.

On the EAD it says that it's valid for 1 year, but if you are denied permanent residence, it will automatically become invalid because it was based on your permanent resident applciation. Pickup notice is a notice to go to local USCIS office to pick up your EAD. My biometrics were done at the...

Yes, you can file for EAD. I did it and when I got the receipt notice, I also got EAD pick up notice. The EAD is valid until you get to the interview. If interview goes well, you won't need EAD. If you are denied GC at the interview, your EAD will become invalid.

Call me shrek, I'm sorry but I don't think you understood my point. I didn't say attorneys are worth as much as they charge. My attorney charged a lot less then others, but is a great guy with a really good reputation at USCIS. The thing is this: I was in situation where I questioned wheather...

1. When will we be asked to come for fingerprinting? - SF office takes about 2 to 3 months to get to fp. 2. When FBI name check starts and how long it takes? - I could be wrong, but I think they did that together with fp notice. With fp notice I also got my Employmeny Authorization pickup...

I actually found one person on a different board that got stamped right away in Boston office. It is weired, because after the usual AOS interview (not based on DV) you get stamped either right away or you schedule info pass to get it.

Has anyone got stamped right after AOS interview? If so, which office did you have interview?

To be safe so that you don't go out of status and jeopardize your GC, extend H1 and once you get GC you will just abandon H1 and be a permanent resident.

If you are approved, you are approved. You will get the card in mail and that's it. The deadline is for approvals/interview. It means that by that date you must have an interview. It has nothing to do with arrival of your card. And yes, you can get stamp if you want to travel before getting the...

Simply said public charge means getting on welfare or living in US on the expense of taxpayers.
