Hi all, My passport is going to expire next month (November 28th). I can drive easily upto DC consulate .. wanted to know if there is anything specific I need to do. The website (Embassy of India - Washington DC (official website) United States of America - Application for a New Passport or Reissue of Passport (10) years (http://www.indianembassy.org/index.php?option=com_content&id=167)) does not mention anything about "walk in to consulate" information.
Specifically,
1. Do I need to call and book appointment ? If yes, is there a minimum waiting time to get an appointment, like how many days before ...
2. Will I get the renewed passport the same day ?
Any other points/instructions that you think are important please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help. :)

Lately, US Consular Officers in Canada have been reluctant to issue H-1B visas when the applicant does not have a US or Canadian University Degree AND has never had an H-1B visa issued at his/her home Consulate. The following is an excerpt from Visa Requirements • U.S. Consular Services in Canada (http://www.consular.canada.usembassy.gov/usa_visa.asp#ability:)
"Evidence of qualifications must be original or certified copy. Consular officers in Canada may refuse to issue a visa to H-1B applicants if their education and /or work experience is solely or predominantly from a country other than the U.S. or Canada."
As you probably know, if you are refused a visa in Canada, you cannot return to the US until you travel to your home country and obtain your H-1B visa there.

Apply H4 with lawyer or by ourselves? My lawyer took care of my H1B, green card cases. Do I need to apply H4 for my wife through my lawyer? What is the advantage of using lawyer with H4 application. Can I apply it by myself? Is there any H4 application checklist around? Thank you.
If its first time, I dont think you have to apply for H4 here. All you need is, give all the needed documents and get the appointment with visa consulate. She has to get the H4 stamping and come here. But when you need to extend the H4 visa, you need to apply to the USCIS.
This is what my experience...

Once your H1b application gets selected you cannot work until atleast oct 01 2009 which is usually start date on the approval. the date may not be exactly oct 01 but it will be certainly in that range.

I would also suggest that you post messages in all college/university/school cantenes and other such visible places where students gather. I have donated blood many times (>10 times) when a student and I am sure that you will find many students who are willing to help.
I have also helped organize blood donation camps and such when a student. In fact I am was trained volunteer - for whatever value 4 days of classroom training have. I'd suggest that you should avoid the "professional"/"regular" donors - as many of them would be drug addicts and "donate" blood for drug money. Schools and colleges are good places to avoid that crowd and still get a large number of prople willing to donate blood.

Hello Folks:
This long wait for Green Card has made me think about a number of things...
A few days back a couple of my friends have recieved notices from USCIS are sending notices 'Intent to Deny their I-485' w/o any rhyme or reason. Employer says they have not withdrawn their I-140. They said they will appeal but if nothing happens they will go back to India.
Just worried...if this happens to me and I am forced to go out of the country in 30 days, what happens to my US loans. I do not think I would be able to repay back my home & car loans with an Indian salary if I return. In this market I can only sell at a huge loss. I also used US Line of credit for education purposes. Do I need to file bankruptcy? I am on a EAD right now...
Any thoughts on this... greatly appreciate ....it

Hi,
This is my first post here. I was looking for "Experience Letter Format" that Is needed for filing I-140. I have not started my GC yet but was looking for all the documents required. It seems to be a nice idea to get all the experience letters from the previous employers before starting labor process.
If some one has the format currently required by USCIS, please post it.
Thanks

There is no time limit of out of status.
Once you are out of a company you are out of status.
So make sure Company B at least files your case before 15th.

Microsoft OS does not take greater than 2036 for some reason. I am not sure if folks use common sense, it is better for u to follow up to get it corrected, if they used common sense, you will wait AEO or something like next generation dinosaurus age for a GC :-) may be u have a futuristic PD :p
I just noticed that the I-140 my lawyer submitted 3 months ago to Nebraska has a typo in my DOB (21/07/2978 instead of 21/07/1978). Yes its a thousand years out! A copy of my latest I-94 and visa both showing my correct DOB were also submitted with the I-140.
Do any of you guys think I'll have the I-140 rejected, recieve an RFE, or will the Nebraska officer just use common sense and amend it himself? What do you reccomend I do if anything?

Thank you for the response.
The salary on Labor is mentioned as $76k. At the time of renewing EAD and AP every year it is at $90k. Since, salary increased after filing GC within the same company.
With AP portability a lot of advisors say, salary shouldnt be a concern rather job duties are.
USCIS interpretation is not always in line with the advice we get. I would still try to do thorough research before the huge leap.

You are not supposed to work on EAD until unless it�s renewed that is sure, you can work on H1B for your H1B employer if H1B is not revoked.
I suggest a attorneys advice on H1B once.

austingc,
Thank you for the advise.
My wife has already gone to the consulate and got her stamping. So she is out of the loop, its only me who needs the stamp.
To put my question in a different way:
Will the consulate cancel/stops/statusquo my wifes H4 visa as the H1B is in "Admin Processing"?
Thanks again.
They will not do it because your visa will be under admin processing and not denied or rejected.

I need some advice in connection with a letter I received from USCIS for an in-person interview. It says that this interview will be video taped. It mentions a list of items to bring to the interview if they are checked, but none of the items in this letter are checked.
The items are:
- This letter, passport, I-94
- Medical exam results, Form I-693
- A current letter of employment
- Evidence of a common residence and shared life
- Other
My priority date is not current. And, my I-140 is approved and it has been more than 6 months since I-485 filing. I changed jobs about 4 months ago and did not transfer my H1B and started working using EAD. My H1B was revoked by my last employer. Also, I did not send a AC21 letter after switching jobs.
Is not sending the AC21 letter the reason for this interview? Also, since none of the items in the letter is checked, what does this mean? Please advise.

This clearly shows - that this article has been at the behest of /or lobbied by the business community and industry leaders.
Because all they want is more H1-B workers. If we put in the same effort to talk about EB - and greencards and educate reporters, we would have articles written that would highlight our concerns.

the change in salary ($76K to 120K) is a cause for concern. It depends how long ago you filed your labor. If it has been greater than 5 years, IMO the salary change may be ok. Rather than the titles, the job duties have to reasonably match.
