PD 5/12/2000. But Chennai consulate guys have mistakenly entered my GC approval date as my wife's priority date. Any ideas about correcting it with them? I had called couple of times and they would not listen! I sent an email but no response. I sent a letter via post but no response... What else can we do? Any ideas... please share!

How do you know about your case status?
I called them once last month, the lady over there replied harshly without even asking who I am, why I called. She didnt listen at all, but told me to call after a month. I called last night, some one hung up on me(it was the consulate) without saying Hello. I dont know how to approach the consulate. I emailed them 3 weeks back, didnt get any response yet.
Any Ideas guys??

Hi Ansi:

It is extremely frustrating to get some thing corrected with the consulate if they enter ur data wrong. I went thru a similar problem; my wife's category was put in a different one than mine (EB-3 instead of EB-1). It took me three months of patient calling. My lawyer emailed, called to no avail. I kept calling and the lady wouldn't listen to me (she is very harsh). Emails are of no use. One fine day (was probably my lucky day), I called and talked in a very submissive and down to the earth tone, telling her my story; she some how listened and asked me to email the approval again (as an attachment). Enthusiastically I sent all the pertinent approvals I thought were necessary; she replied rudely asking me to send only 485 approval. I sent another mail next day apologizing; I got an email next day saying the category was changed (corrected)... It is absolutely necessary to change it; keep calling, be calm and submissive... they r the bosses till u get ur work done... I lost 5 months because of the mistake...

How to get GC for adopted child

hi all,

i need some help and guidance. my brother in law and his wife want to adopt a poor girl from our country, but we are completely clueless on the process and afraid of being taken for a ride by stupid lawyers. i am hoping that someone out there might have some idea on the process and can help clarify a bit for us.

here is the situation: my brother in law has GC and is about to file for citizenship. his wife is a citizen and the girl is back in our country. we are trying to figure out what the best options are for the girl. some questions are:

1-is there a specific adoption process to follow for the girl to get the GC?

2-our laywer is telling us that a private company will come out to check my brother in law's house to make sure its suitable and that this company may charge about $1,500. any idea if this accurate? anyone had this before?

3-how long will it take to get GC for the girl? will it be fast (lest than 1 year) since his wife is a cizitzen?

4-will she get my brother in law's priority date through derivative status or will she be categorized as 1st preference under his wife who is a citizen?

i really hope someone can help. thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts and experience on this!!!!

Is there anyone here, whose FTJ case was created in Chennai prior to July 25 and have not got the appointment?

I sent in my letter and documents on Aug 15th. I dint get any feed back from the chennai Consulate. Technically i dont know, whether they created a case or not. The chennai Consulate Publishes every month(on 10th) the appointments schedule for the next month. Earlier it used to be just Case numbers and dates. Now they are also publishing the names of the persons. Its good thing atleast we have a place to goto.

HR1823, is a verygood piece of legislation solves the problems of LPR's. But the only problem is it has 1 Sponsor+7 co sponsors all democrats. So its just sitting there for the last 6 months. If that bill passes and we dont have a pending I130, we again have to wait 6 months..

The other things are Pending Immigration reform Bill. which raises the quota for family immigration..

Well with all these talking thier own time our only Hope of F2J is also crippled with retrogression...
 
Apply for H1B while I-130 pending

Hi all,
I am Permanent Resident and I have applied for my spouse's GC through I-130.

My husband recently got a job and his employer is willing to sponsor his H-1B visa. Can we apply for H-1B visa while his I-130 is pending?

Will the pending I-130 have any effect on H1B visa since I-130 indicates your intent to immigration?

Thanks
patkt
