I don;t think either that the above assumption about the priority date is true. As USCIS had stated earlier that all the visa numbers are made available for the current year. This means they have allocated the visa numbers to the cases ready to be approved. As I am watching on this and other...

Technically it should not have any impact on your GC if you are working with an independent lawyer (not your husband's company lawyer). Usually people prefer to stick with the same lawyer just in case if you have any RFE your current lawyer is aware of your case and it is easy for him to reply...

I-485 is Adjustment of Status. Which means you need to have a status in US to qualify for a change of status ie from non-immigrant to immigrant status. Since you are not in US, you don't hold any status in US that means you cannot apply for I-485. That leaves you with an option of CP.

Six Months from the date of issuance. An immigrant visa is valid for a maximum period of six months from the date of issuance. You must travel and apply for admission to the United States within that six months period. A visa may not be transferred from one person to another, or used by any...

thanks NKelkar for the clarification and sharing your experience. It makes more sense now...

hi mramnag...congratulations...enjoy your freedom... as you said that visa was not stampped on your passport...so did you go to channai consulate get it stampped...and can you throw more light on the three packets...what are these three packets....i thought you get only one sealed packet that...

This is complicated situation. You need to get in touch with some nice lawyers like Mr. Khanna or Ms. Murthy as soon as possible. I am not sure but check with lawyers to explore the possibility of getting her admissison in some community collage and get her F1. This may be cost effective and...

It seems visa numbers are already allocated to the cases scheduled for CP interviews. This has been reported by AILA. This makes it very important to submit the documents on time and report for the interview. Following is the news I picked from one of the lawyer's website, "AILA has reported...

I would write a subject line as URGENT: BMBxxxxxx - Packet Not Received - InterviewDate Although they write that you have to submit all the documents at the same time, infact all you need to susbmit before interview is DSS230 and the fees. Rest of the document you can take at the time of...

CHK THIS OUT: http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/ivfaq.html#date My date is current, my case is in Mumbai, and I turned in my forms. How can I find out the appointment date? We schedule immigrant visa appointments by the middle of each month for the following month. We send a letter to the...

thanks NJBLUE. You are right the Interview schedule at mumbai was revised on 06/29. http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/uploads/images/9uRZDUAnEBKVs3LMDSI0ug/apptjuly07.pdf and there are no changes to my wife's interview schedule. I read on one of the forum that someone called up mumbai consulate...

hi Jenish, My wife is also in the same situation. Her interview is scheduled on July 26th. We are suppose to submit the doucments by 12 July. I also read the Hammond Law Firm mesage and his last statement "If you received a Visa Appointment date, we expect that the appointment will be...

Guyz - Any idea what would happen to the interviews already scheduled if dates retrogress? Sounds dumb question? Most likely they will cancel the interviews. Any thoughts? Any guess how far will the dates retrogress?

Well....it sounds we are moving towards yet another retrogression. All the No offence but the truth is all the Non-RIR to RIR conversion will flood the demand for visa numbers. Not sure but the noise is that many of the cases have PD that go as far back as 1998. And now since all the...

SHL is from worldwide not India or Maxico....the current PD is 01 Aug 02

I am no lawyer but here are my thoughts. For many unsaid reasons, ease of processing and establishing the relationship, USCIS tries its best to process all the cases together (main applicant and dependents). But USCIS also treats each applicant as a seperate case after I-485. In case of RFEs...

CEI Exp in India Well guyz...thanks for the posting....CEI America is nothing but a bunch of Jerks trying to run a so called company by hook or crook....no hook just crook... My exp dates back to last quarter of 97. At that time I was fresh from college...very curious to fly to US....they...

Well...you can file for H1 Ext. with your current employer but I am not sure if H1 transfer works on 7th Year Extention. Suely you can change your job on EAD. I would advise you to take an appointment with an immigration lawyer and get it clarified before making any move. Or you can also try...

Seems this trend is here to stay... well looks like all the previous year unused visa numbers are being used up in the past couple of years and now until we have CIR passed soon and it brings in some relief on yearly GC quota...it seems this trend of priority date hangging on to every months...
