Sorry for repeating this info in a separate thread, but I am very much in need of your help.

1.

I am having AP/EAD valid until May 2004. I do not have H1. I need to travel to my home country for 3 Months from Oct 1 to December 31 of 2003. My FP is expiring within 10 days from now. Is it safe to travel. ( MY RD is MID MARCH 2002 )

2.

How do we come to know about 2nd FP ? Can we know through the online message or will we receive a written notification directly ?
 
I got a notice for re-fingerprinting 3 months after the anniversary of my first fingerprinting with an appointment for a month later. That means that my re-fingerprinting was scheduled for 16 months after my first FP. But the notice came exactly 15 months after the first one. I went for FP 2 days before my departure for a long awaited vacation, not earlier. Considering that if I had gone for an early FP as some people do I may have gotten some RFE or other during my absence.
Anyway. That is my story and my logic.
I doesn't necessarily dictate ANYTHING.

thanks.


So if you are at 15 months and are planning to be absent for... what was that you said... 3 months?
It won't work based on my experience. At least not without some rescheduling of FP.


Please double check my responce to make sure it reflects your personal facts.
 
DRY ICE if it is v.imp for u to go to india for 3 months then u can take help of your lawyers ,b'coz usually when BCIS sends 2nd fp they inform u & lawyers both if u ask your lawyers to re schedule your fp in case of your absence then u can come back & give your fp.but otherwise it is always advisable to present in country when I-485 is in late final stages.

What do you mean by "present in country"? Does it mean we can give FP in US consulate in our home country?
 
I know this is wrong place to post this question and sorry for that. Please post your thoughts.

L-1B visa question
One of my cousin working for an offshore company in
USA on L-1B visa. She is working at a client place in
Atlanta as a consultant. She is not working at
Offshore comapny's branch office in US, she is working
as a consultant just like H-1B visa holder.

Now she is worried that can she work as a consultant
other than offshore company's branch office? As per
the L-1B visa rules is she allowed to do consulting
job?

Her company is not paying any taxes and just paying
expenses in US and salary back in India. But the
offshore company is showing that she is working at
their branch office and sending her for consulting. The
company'e intension in bringing her on L-1B visa is to
avoid taxes and moreover it is convenient to get approval
for L-1B visa than H-1B visa.

Since she is not working at the offshore company's branch office in US and working as a consultant at client place, is she going to be in trouble??

Please suggest your advice.
