Walk into near by ASC with your FP notice, explain the situation, they will be able to accomadate you for FP. I read in the forum Wednesday's are usually good for walk-ins. Good Luck!
Dear Friends, I may be repeat the question which may asked by some one before, plz bear with me.
we received FP notice for me and spouse (not yet for kid (<5) ) which scheduled in Nov-24 at Charlotte, NC and we moved to CA months back.
1. do we need to call USCIS to change the location and date ?.
2. or can we go directly to the nearest ASC and request for it , showing the FP notice ?.
3. I have updated the address in USCIS using online AR-11 already.
Plz share your experience/advise...
thanks,

Thank you for sharing your case.
It might help lot of people to plan accordingly and not get stuck ...
VISA things are getting ridicules
My wife's passport was received from Delhi Consulate after about 21 business days.
My wife attended the H4 interview on Jan-11 and the VO asked 3 basic question of what does your husband do, what do you do and why are you going. No pink or green or any slip was given and nor my wife was told that her visa hasa been approved. All she was told was that they have to do some background processing after which they will send the passport back.
So what was supposed to be 2-3 days of work stretched for ever, off course flights had to be cancelled and wife had to drop the semester and my daughter had to miss the school as well. My wife's AP was approved after she had left for India,so couldn't even use that.
I know there is nothing an applicant can do or not do, but it just bothers me how much anguish this causes to not just the applicant but all of the immediate family and there is nothing that can be done.
I wish good luck to all who are stuck and hopefully in future this process might be more streamlined and have faster turnaround.

How long is the AP valid? And does the clock start ticking from the date of AP application or from the date of AP approval?

My mother-in-law is on a visitor visa. She is supposed to go to india in 10 days. But she had a medical emergency and had a surgery this week. She cannot travel to india right now, as she needs rest after surgery. Can we apply visitor visa extension on medical grounds or is it safe to apply for extension on tourism/visiting grounds, Please advise.
Yes you can. Please explain to USCIS about the surgery and they will give the extension.

I work in a private firm (<300 employees) and they have filed for PERM and is under audit. What would happen to my PERM if a bigger firm takes over my smaller company.
My H1-B 6 yr limit will expire by January 2010. What are the risks to my immigration status if my company is acquired by a bigger firm?
1. Will I have to re-file for PERM again with the new company?
OR
2. Can I continue under the already audited PERM in smaller company's name?

My husband has got a query on his I-140 now and it would take another 2-3 months before USICS makes a decision. His company is not doing well financially and we are worried if the I-140 would get denied. My understanding is, if the I-140 gets denied, the EAD will no longer be valid.
Would anyone happen to know what would happen to the EAD, if the company files a MTR (Motion to Reopen) and appeal against the I-140 denial (if it happens) ?
Thanks

hey guys,
i send in my i-140/i485 along with those for my wife. as luck will have it, I forgot to include her sealed i-693. i am planning to send it tomorrow with a cover letter. is that okay? is there anything else I can do?
I will appreciate any help.
thanks
ashish
Only send it after you get a receipt notice....Else, I am sure it will get lost....USCIS has said in its latest FAQs that it will not reject the 485 packet if it doesnt inlcude the medicals....So wait till you get a receipt notice and send it with a copy of the receipt...

Yes, a friend of mine was not given her VISA they did not say denial instead said they needed to further confirm her qualifiactions and field of research. This is bc she works in boitech and at that point there was the anthrax scare.
Hi,
Has an non muslim Indian passport holder been denied H1 visa in Canada due to security check ?
I have US degree and I also have done stamping in Canada once before - what are the chances of getting stuck ?

Hello,
I am in process of finding H-1B sponsoring companies for my brother who is in India currently.
Is there anyway I can research a company.
- How many employees does it have
- How many h-1bs has that company filed in previous years (2006 & 2007)
- How many LCs (For greencard) has that company filed
- Financial condition of the company.
I had come accross a link earlier on IV forum which had prior h-1b info but can't find that thread now.
Any help is appreciated.

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has announced (http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=32094) that several more forms will be transitioning from the Service Centers to the Lockbox Network. USCIS believes that by centralizing form and fee intake to a Lockbox environment, USCIS will improve consistency and integrity in the intake process.
The forms scheduled for the transition include:
I-140 (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=4a5a4154d7b3d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD), Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker;

This transition has already started, as the Service Centers will be forwarding applications to the appropriate Lockbox facilities. USCIS plans to announce the address change sometime in June and will revise the filing instructions and update the web page for each form.

Hi All,
I got my COS from H4 to F1 approved in first semester itself (Fed-2010), now my questions is I don�t have plans for going to India in next couple of years so after completing my masters can I apply for OPT without having the F1 Visa stamping OR should I have to get F1 Visa stamping in India in order to get the OPT after my masters.

Dear Friends,
We recently moved our place and we are now in a new apartment.
We have immigration matters that needs to be updated but we don't know what we should do?
The following are affected
1. EAD
2. H1B
3. AP
4. I 485 related things.
My Ead and Ap has old address and the card also holds the same old address.
Could you please tell me what steps I must initiate to get this straightened out? Do I need a new EAD card? Please help me.
Thanks a ton!
