kamrans - visa specialist

visa specialist? don't know about it... do you have a tel. nos?

thanks,

judex

It may or may not be true as your wife was the principal applicant and she has been through the consular processing. Consular processing I-824 for the principal applicant comes through the NVC and goes to the local embassy.
But embassies work differently. They may not have the same case number as your wife. Your wife is done with her case number and it should be closed now.
You need to contact the local embassy there and your wife should call the visa specialist here in DC to get the status of your case. This is extremely necessary for you to know whats going on. Also you need to find out with the visa specialist or the embassy that approval of I-824 is required to get the FTJ benefits or not. This will clear the picture and then you can act accordingly. Until then everything is in abeyance. Be patient. Sooner or later you will get it.

Good Luck.

Try these two numbers :

202-663-1225
202-647-4000

Tell them that you need to talk to the visa specialist. These guys have the power to open up embassy database and you can get information of any case thats opened with any embassy in the world. However you need to provide them the required information. Be specific with them. Ask your wife to try this and you need to try it there. They can tell that if your case is opened or not. Even you can ask about your situation and they will advise you.
This is the free service and lot of people dont know about it. However the wait period is too long.

Good Luck.

Kamrans-Thanks for your detailed answer.
Can I also apply for my spouse work permit with I-485.I need to apply for her SSN that's why I need work permit to show SSN office.I don't think we can apply for SSN for H4 visa holder?Any comments

 

[kamrans]

check the list of all docs that goes with the packet 3.5. I posted it earlier in detail in the same thread. You need to send everything that needs to go with Packet 3.5.
Packet 4 is nothing but an interview letter stating the date and time and the list of missing documents that you need to bring with you for an interview. They wont return any documents that you send with packet 3.5. You will get all the docs back when you go for an interview.
The last and final answer you will get from them when you submit all papers along with packet 3.5. If everything goes smooth you will get interview letter.

Good Luck.

Yes you can apply for EAD for your wife with 485. She cannot get SSN based on her H4 status. But she can drive a car... meaning she can get the driving license.

Good Luck.

got the visitor while on 824 in process at local consulate.

Thanks for all of you your support, encouragement and help.

We got the visitor visa for our child at local consulate. Our 824 case is at local ins consulate since 1.5 years which is EB3 category.

They gave for 5 years visa.

One thing I did not understand on the visa at it was mentioned under
Entries M(annotation).
what does it mean? Can they visit US multiple times? Please help?

 

[kamrans]

Entries = M means multiple entries. Its a 5 year multiple visa.

DS-2001 is something new to me. I have never submitted DS-2001 and still my case is on the way and we got interview date. I have never seen this anywhere in any consulate other than yours in manila. May be some other consulate use it. Thats why I always say different consulate work differently. Seems like DS-2001 is not a mandatory form.

FTJ experience in Chennai

Hello,
My 485 was applied in July 2006. Its still pending. FP was taken on 9/27...luckily hasnt been approved yet. I have finally been able to find my life partner in Chennai, India.

My priority date is Dec 2001, EB2, India. I will be in India on jan 31. I am going to get engaged and get register married...with parents blessings so that she can be eligible for FTJ benefits if 485 gets approved before official /traditional marriage within the next 2 months.

My understanding is that once I have the register marriage certificate.....even if my 485 gets approved.....my spouse can come on a FTJ based green card. Is this corretc?

Please suggest what my approach should be. Any special info on Chennai (regarding register marriage, FTJ benefits) will be particularly useful.

Thanks
