I have a question for anyone who might have had a similar situation. My friend's mom is eligible for citizenship under the 65/15 rule, where she can apply for a waiver of the English Language, but has to take the civic test in her native language. However, I dont see any options on the N-400...

Does anyone know if Germany or France requires a transit visa for Indian Citizens with GC?

I think it has been passed. But this needs to be confirmed. A statement on Indian Embassy's website in DC says "The Indian Parliament on December 22, 2003 has passed a Bill to grant dual citizenship to the people of Indian origin. The Bill received the President's assent on January 7, 2004...

I need some feedback from anyone who has dealt with selective service issues. This is for a friend of mine who got his GC 3 months before his 26th B-Day. He did not register for SS. He did not know about the SS requirement until long afterwards. He has a citizenship interview coming up next...

When I showed them the actual card and the old SS card, they just looked at it and gave it back. I got the new one in 1 week. This was back in 02.

I would defenitely agree that have a unique name helps you identify telemarketers a mile away when they call you. Once they know how to pronounce my name, neither Americans nor immgrants have ever had a problem with my name. AmericanWannabe must be smoking crack. This country like it or not...

uscis.gov/graphics/publicaffairs/factsheets/chowto.htm The above site has all the details listed, including if she is here or abroad or has a green card or not. Judging from your Q, I guess she lives abroad and does not have a GC.

It seems that the experience can vary from airport to airport and officer to officer. Entering thru Chicago, I was asked 3 Qs by the Immigration Officer: 1. How long where you out for? 2. What is your DOB/ 3. How much time did you spend abroad? (I guess she was tyring to twist the Q) Wrote...

Your Wife's visa wont be cancelled. But she might have a hard time trying to re-enter the country, as a B visa is non-immigrant and having a petition filed shows immigrant intent. If your mother files for you as an unmarried person, you fall under category 1 which has a wait time of about 3...

I would defenitely advise against it. You mentioned that you got your GC about 2 years ago. So it would take about 3-4 years to get your citizenship. I am not sure about the situation at your local INS office, but I suspect it would take about 3 years or so to get your GC once you apply for it...

I have travelled thrice since 9/11, once to India. The lamination job on my photo page on the pp is quite poor. It has a large air gap in it. Inspite of all that, I have never had any issues at all. At US airports, they dont even pay attention to the pp when you have the new plastic GC. I...

I travelled 3 times outside the US since I got my GC in late 2002. My most recent trip was during christmas. My Indian PP has my family name listed first, my real given name 2nd and my other family name listed 3rd. So this is how it is printed Axxxx Bxxxx Cxxxx My GC has the following...

when I got my plastic GC, I went to the SS office and showed them my current one that says "Valid for emp with INS auth only". They did not take it away from me. They looked at it and made copy of my new GC and gave them both back to me. She also gave a letter saying that I have applied for a...

JoeF is right. This is especially true of young asian women applying for a visit visa to US. Chances are slim to none. The consular officers know for a fact that those women can find a partner to marry them in the US in a heat beat. The best way to do it is to wait till you get ur citizenship...

I am trying to apply for a visit visa to France this Christmas. I need some input from people who have done this before. I have an indian pp w/ GC. The purpose of the visit is pleasure/visiting relatives. Are there any issues that I need to look out for? Will the French Consulate issue the...

You need to come to the US before 6 months to avoid issues. As a practical matter, this stunt of returning every few months will only work once of twice. POE officers are just looking for any excuse to enforce the law to the fullest extent. I personally know of a friend whose card was revoked at...

For an Indian Passport, you can actually apply for a new passport upto 1 YEAR prior to the expiry of the old one. I read this on the Indian Consulate's web site.

The outsourcing stuff may be overbown in the press, but if there no check in place, it will become a norm in the industry. Like the saying goes, "if you are out of a job, unemployment for you is 100%" I see everyday more and more jobs going to India and elsewhere, and will never come back.

Even if the spouse is out of status, as long as entry was legal, in a case of marriage to a USC overstays are forgiven. The only problem here is that the INS should not think that the spouse came here with the intent to marry and adjust. In other words, the marriage should have been something...

Yes, the fingerprints were taken more than a year after I applied for AOS. That is not uncommon. FPs have a 15 month expiration date. I took my medical to the interview. I knew that it would take 2 years or so for the interview. So I got it done right after the FPs.
