marrage based greencard for H1B holder

Re: Hi Sachin

Advanced parole is a document you need to travel outside the US when your application for adjustment of status is pending.

You need to file the form I-131 with your local INS office ...
You shouldnt use your H-1B for entry purposes..

when you get the advanced parole or (AP) which its known as you should be allright. ( do keep in mind not to leave the US for an extended period of time based on that paper or avoid leaving the country if at all.)

hope this helps.

Hi

Sachin, Thanks for prompt reply. I was planning of a vacation in India but one of the statement of your answer says :

avoid leaving the country if at all

So even after getting the AP, it is not safe enough to leave the USA?

I appreciate your help.

Re: Hi

yeah thats what I have heard about advanced parole's.. an Immigration Inspector can deny entry into the US even if you have an advanced parole.

It's a better idea to go abroad once your green card is approved.

EAD Renewal

Hi Sachin,

My EAD is expiring in december but I am thinking of applying for a renewal because I am not sure how long it takes. I have heard that normally it takes 1 to 3 months. Is this correct? I will have to fill I-765 for the renewal of EAD right?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi.

Hi Sachin,

When I was filling the form I-485, I think by mistake I have entered wrong information for I-94. I came on 20th May 2000 but then my company sent me to canada for 3 months for training. I have two I-94. one says 20th may while other which I got when I was coming from canada says 20th August. So in my I-485 by mistake I entered "date entered in usa=19th May(by mistake)" and I-94 copy of 20th august..

Will it create a problem??

Thanks in advance for help.

Regards,

Sonviraj.
 
Re: Hi.

You can tell Immigration that you made a mistake.. I don't think it should cause any problems as such. Honest mistakes are forgiven <G> and you can tell them you have 2 I94's.. the airline agent should have taken ur old I94 when u boarded for Canada.

Thanks.

Sachin, Thanks alot for your prompt responses. Now its time to renew my EAD and again I have to enter information about my I-94 and date of entry in the US. So this time I think I should provide right information. But it will conflict with the old information. Not sure what to do. :-)

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Sonviraj.
 
Re: Thanks.

I would say give them the info you originally submitted and let the officer know of the error when you see them in person.
 
Hi

Hi Sachin,

I had applied for adjustment of status in November, 2002. At that time my wife used to work in a college(Part time). After that she left her job because she moved to PA. Another reason for leaving the job was to finish the graduation. She is now not working anywhere. She completed her gradution in May.

Will this be a problem at the time of AOS interview?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sonviraj.
 
Hi.

Sachin,

My EAD is expiring on december 8 2003. Can I apply for renewal of EAD right now? In one of your answers you were saying that we should apply atleast 90 days before the EAD expiration. That means it can be more than 90 days right?
 
Hi Sachin,

Today I got a letter from INS about fingerprinting . I remember that I got fingerprinted last year in december at the time of getting EAD.

So why they need another fingerprint? Is it a normal procedure? Because I am already done with the fingerprinting.

Although the letter says that this fingerprinting is in connection with I485.

Thanks alot for your responses.

Regards,

Sonviraj.
 
The prints which they took for your EAD was of an index finger not the other bells n whistles

This is an appointment where they will run your prints against the FBI / etc database to check for any problems.

hope this clarifies your question.

Hi

Hi Sachin,

After getting a green card I am thinking of filing for the same for my parents. Both of them are above 60 years. Could you please tell me what are the forms I will have to file and how long the entire process takes?

Thanks in advance for your help.
