Interesting- Never done a FOIA request for just an approval.
I might try filing an I-824 seeking a duplicate approval notice.

Haitians might be eligible for TPS (Temporary protected status) because of the recent earth quake. Not sure if this applies for people already in USA or not.
Try exploring that. Like Madan said, you would need to be a citizen if you want to sponsor her GC.
Hi, My mother lives in Haiti, i was not able to file a petition for her before the earthquake happened. Now with all of that going on, i need to know how to file and get her quicker to the us? Any response will be greatly appreciated, thank you

I was told by consulate staff that the PIO card should be endorsed with the new passport # when you renew your foreign passport. I guess if you are traveling with both the old and new passport it should be ok, since they can verify right there. It is also a hassle endorsing the PIO card everytime you renew your passport. If you try to find out from the embassy/consulate ( that itself is a hassle), they will probably try to sell you for an endorsement. I do not know about the fees. I will be surprised if they didn't have one for endorsement.

What document should I be sending to say that I am in I-485 adjustment status.
Along with other documents, include a copy of I485 Receipt Notice and EAD card.

Is the 3yr extension based on an approved 140 transferrable to another employer for the full duration of 3 yrs?
Yes. As long as I-140 is not canceled or revoked.

July�07 filer - H1-B renewal after filing I-485 (12th Year)
Can I renew H1-B (12th year) after filed 485. Don�t want to use EAD in order to maintain my wife�s H4.
The AC21 document covers before I-485 filing stage. But not covering after 485 filed and retrogressed situation.
----------------------
(4) Exemptions to Limitations of Stay. The limitation on the total period of stay does not apply to H-1B aliens when, as of the date of filing the extension request:
365 or more days have passed since the filing of any application for labor certification, Forms ETA-750 or ETA-9089, that is required or used by the alien to obtain status as an EB immigrant; and the labor certification, if approved, has not been revoked, is unexpired or has been timely filed with an EB petition within the labor certification�s validity period; or
365 or more days have passed since the filing of an EB immigrant petition that is still pending; or
The alien is the beneficiary of an approved EB immigration petition and is not able to file to adjust status to U.S. permanent legal residence based on the unavailability of an immigrant visa number.
-------------------------------------
I have filed my I-485 during July 2007 as like many others. My PD is March 2004
Got married after the filing and still maintaining my H1 and brought my wife on H4.
I need to renew my H1 as it is getting expired in April. Not able to use EAD as need to maintain my wife�s H4.
This is my 12th year H1 renewal.
6 year 2005
1 year 2006
1 year 2007
3 year 2010
Question - Is H1-B extension rule applicable only for I140 approval/(labor 365 days) or is it allowed even after filing 485? And is it allowed after 11 years for additional 3 years?
Thanks

HI,
I recently booked an appointment for visiting visa for my parents through vfs, during the process , I first entered my Dad's details and then his ds 156, then It asked if I wanted to add additional family members, then I entered my Mom's details and her ds 156 . After that it asked for my Mom's ds 157 and never showed my Dad's ds 157.
So the final list of documents it generated was :
Dad's ds 156, Mom's ds 156,157 , interview letter.
Is this correct, does my dad need ds 157 and interview letter or is 1 ds 157 and interview letter enough ?
Thank you for your time.

For sure i can say that one can travel (if needed) just after applying 485. No need to wait until one gets the travel papers.However to enter in to the country again, one should have either a valid visa H1 or H4 visa stamp in the passport OR should present the travel documents related to 485 (which means some arrangements need to be done. say a person applied 485 on dec1st/06. left to india on Dec3rd/06. travel documents usually takes anywhere between 6-8 weeks. so these have to be sent to india sothat the person while coming back to US again, can present at port of entry)
Lawyers say as a matter of precaution.( For example there is a query to submit a passport copy once again etc;)
Once a person had applied for 485, till they get advance parole if they had gone out of US, the application will be dropped.
I did hear that if you are in H1 B then it is not the case, but lots of Lawyers are advising not to get out of country till the person gets advance parole.
I do remember seeing lots of discussion in one of the portals on this topic, I remember that counselor processing is the option in this type of case.
This is a complex situation, you should consult a lawyer.

Please advice.
The H1-stamp on my passport has expired in 2005. I have an approval for H1 till 2010
I will be filing 485 / EAD / AP on July 1st in EB2 category.
Since the 485 approvals are 2-3 years away
Is it possible to go out of the country for H-1 B stamping or if the EAD/AP gets approved i must go on to that status.
H1 is preferable since i do not have to worry about work authorization
whereas with EAD since it expires in 1 year , i will have to keep my fingers crossed and not work till the next EAD gets approved ( after june next year )
Regards

I had my parents and my grandmom visit me last year. All three of them went together for the visa interview at Delhi. The only question the officer asked my father was - Why do you want to take your Mom to visit the US 'now'? and my dad replied, 'If I do not take her now, when will I take her?'. They all got a 10 year visa.
Hope that helps,
All the best!

I have a approved I-140. Applied for 3 year H1 extension in Oct 2006. 3 year H1 extension approved on 5th Feb 2007. Received H4 dependents extensions. Did not receive my I-797. Requested my consulting company to check why I did not receive my I-797 with I-94. They lied to me that they called USCIS and I/they/lawyer will get copy in 30/45 days. My MN drivers license got canceled/suspended on 04/24/2007 because I did not submit approved I-797/I-94. Company lawyer informed my company that they applied under premium processing for duplicate copy on 04/16/2007. I called USCIS and they told me this is bullshit. There is no premium processing for duplicate document. Lawyer does not want to reveal which form he filed for duplicate document. I also applied this week using form I-824 for duplicate copy of approved H1 extension. Called USCIS, and they said I will get a receipt number in 15 days and copy in 2-3 months. This copy will not include I-94, so it is useless. What options do I have. My lawyer is an American and he thinks it is below his dignity to answer my calls.
What options do I now have? Any options will be appreciated.
I think you can file Form 120 for a duplicate I 94 in case it is lost/mutilated etc. please check USCIS website. hope this helps

Hi All,
I just received an RFE for my I140 which says:
-----------------------------------------------------
The ETA Form 9089 you provided indicates a requirement for a Master's or Bachelor's degre in a certain field of study.
Submit evidence that the alien obtained the required Masters or Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Computer Science, January 24, 2007. Evidence of education must be in the form of an official record showing the dates of attendance, area of concentration of study, and date of degree award, if any.
The job offered is for a software enigineer.
You have submitted a copy of a Masters Degree of Technology in Polymer Science and Technology and of the Bachelor's degree is in the discipline of Chemical Engineering with Speciality in Polymer Technology. If you have not been granted a Masters or Bachelors in the required field, provide proof that your degree(s) has the same elements as a Masters or Bachelors in the required field(s).
-----------------------------------------------------
How to proof that my degree(s) have same elements as a Masters or Bachelors in the required field(s) - the required fields being 'Engineering or Computer Science'? I think the confusion is because the title of my degree is 'Master of Technology' and not 'Master of Engineering'... same with Bachelors.. it is 'Bachelor of Technology' and not 'Bachelor of Engineering'. Anybody from India knows they are almost same. But how to prove it to INS?
Please reply ASAP so that I have time to execute the suggested steps. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance...

While out shooting today, I came across a pond with bullfrogs. I captured one sticking his head out of the water. I knew it was a wasted frame and never intended to use it for anything and probably should have deleted it. I shot the image with my 75-300 handheld at 300 mm, f/8, at 1/250 sec. Generally this is a combination that isn't worth the energy required to push the shutter button, particularly with a lens that is far from award-winning. For fun, I decided to see how well the image (original is RAW) would hold up with severe cropping. All PS processing done essentially the same. Frankly, I'm impressed with the results. To see the blood vessels in the frog's eye with that much of a crop is impressive. What do others think?
