I got 221g pink slip from Chennai-India for Administrative Processing and still waiting for my Visa renewal stamping after 72 days.
They informed me that they cannot give any specific timelines in which the processing will be completed.
I did find lot of people in these same boat in different forums.

In Wake of Immigration Law, Calls for an Economic Boycott of Arizona - NYTimes.com (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/27/us/27arizona.html?ref=us)
La Opini�n, the nation�s largest Spanish-language newspaper, urged a boycott in an editorial Monday, as did the Rev. Al Sharpton, and calls for such action spread to social media sites. The San Francisco city attorney and members of the Board of Supervisors said they would propose that the city not do business with the state.
They followed the lead of Representative Ra�l M. Grijalva, Democrat of Arizona, who had urged conventions to skip the state, though other Democrats who oppose the law, including Mayor Phil Gordon of Phoenix, pleaded for people not to punish the entire state.
Tourism and convention managers, struggling to rebound from the recession, said it was too soon to tell if the effort would have an impact, but some businesses said people were turning away from the state.
At the Arizona Inn in Tucson, the manager, Will Conroy, said that over the weekend 12 customers canceled reservations or said they would not return to the state because of the law.
Tourism officials said such accounts were not widespread, but they were concerned that the rancor was tarnishing the state�s image and were mindful of the boycott in the 1980s that led to Arizona�s officially observing Martin Luther King�s Birthday after initially rejecting it as a holiday.

My Indian passport is going to expire very soon and my visa has also expired.
I have applied for extension for 3 years.
Will I face any problems in getting new passport from Indian Embassy?
Has anybody done that before?
I am sorry if this is not right place to write about it...
thanks
you can get your passport renewed by sending it to the Indian Embassy in the US immediately. I don't know about your visa. Talk to your lawyer. But why did you let your visa expire? That I am sure you know IS ILLEGAL.

Dear Attorney,
I greatly appreciate your time in reading my question and will be happy I get a reply. I am an derivative applicant with I-485. I have my EAD till Mid of August 2010 and my AP expired on November 2009. I read from forums that AP is not need if we are not going to travel out of USA. Even my friends said the same, so I did not renew my AP so far. Will an expired AP invalidated my status when I am staying in USA and not planing to travel within next 8 months?
Since I am on my 1-485 status and my husband got Green card I believe that I am in status. But just wanted to confirm again for assurance and for piece of mind. Any way I am planing to apply for AP in next few weeks.

My AOS was filed June 29 th and I am waiting for the recipt notice.
Now, as the AOS is filed, will it make a difference later on - filing AOS under EB2 would have got him the Green Card ealier?

There is a possibility in cases of where job requires minimum GPA . 140 adjudicator can always ask petitioner that the benificiary meets all the requirements for the position offered. In substitution cases there is always a possibility of things getting verified in a microscope.

Let her come on her own (H1/B2) to the US and then you can apply for spousal visa to extend her stay.
Here's my situation in briefest form. I'm engaged to a woman in the Philippines. She worked as a domestic helper in Kuwait from about 2005 to 2007, a period of about 2.5 years total.
I understand that as we move forward on our K1 application (I'm an American just be clear) she'll be required to submit police reports for anyplace she has lived for more than 6 months. She doesn't have such an item from Kuwait, and it seems nearly impossible to obtain such a report. The websites all say that this document is only given to 'current residents'.
How can we obtain such document, and what if we can't? It seems unfathomable that the US Gov would request a possibly unobtainable document and then permanently deny our chance to live in the US together, if we are absolutely unable to obtain this document?
Does anyone have any advice, or can tell me what happens in a situation such as this?
Thanks for any help.

Just reply on a separate piece of paper explaining the relevant details, as asked. Thats what we did. Can't remember details now but things like "I-485 was applied in so and so month as a dependent in so and so month." Some information about the primary, relation to primary and such. You can add the A number (we didn't have it at that time).

Yes it happened to me, I didnt loose my internet connection that time but simply forget to change address on my pending 485 applications :)
Called the USCIS customer service center and one of the representative did update manually. Yes you can also do that for sure
Thanks
Chandu
Hi there,
I changed my address using the online facility provided by USCIS by filling out the AR-11 form. I got the confirmation for that. After that when I started to change for pending petitions (I-485), lost my internet connection. I could not go back to that part again.
I checked all the FAQ's etc but could not find a link that would explain how to change only the pending petitions, since AR-11 was already changed.
Please let me know if anybody was in the similar situation.
Thank you!!!

Health insurance is a daunting concern, esp. in times like this. One suggestion is to think about High deductible HSA plan. This plan will work best for People who are healthy and have no health issues, but want to cover for the unexpected emergencies.
For example, I opted for 0/1500 plan through Kaiser Permenante. This plan will allow you to roll over the extra $s into next year and from next year to the next, etc. You will build an account (and I think can invest the money to grow it further). You can use the funds from the account that you built over the years to pay for future expenses. But the catch is, they will pay for your claims only after you spend the first 1500/Yr. Basically, this is an option to control how you want to spend for your medical expense.
Like I said its good for healthy adults. For children this may not work, because they might need more medical care than healthy adults.
Cheers!

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!
Just go to online address change and do it for all your petitions.
On another note, is it true that people are getting RFEs when they do address change? Has anyone faced this?

I don't see a reason why premium processing will lead to rejection. Certainly that is not the case with H-1B. Infact 2-3 years back H-1B premium processing had 0.5% higher approval rate than regular H-1B.

Hi,
I am an International Student from India currently on F1 and in the year of 2008. I was offered an internship through my thesis advisor's reference which I accepted. I worked from 15th September 2008 to 31st December 2008. Naturally as I was on F1 I did not know all about the tax, immigration and other laws. So I got an authorization from school for that internship and received a new I-20 (CPT) with that employer's info on 3rd page of it. I worked full time and I always had an impression I was an employee(trust me I did not know any difference between W2 and 1099 that time). I was working in the company and not anywhere else.
The problem arose when in 2009 I got a 1099 MISC instead of a W2. As I did not know about it, I did not complain and I filed my taxes correctly and got my refund. If I knew, they were going to give me 1099 MISC then I would not have accepted the offer. Starting 2009 I was on payroll (W2) and this year(2010) I got W2 for 2009.
So my question to you guys is
1. Was I out of status during the time of 1099 MISC? (I did not intentionally engage in 1099 MISC as I was unaware of it)
2. As the internship was authorized by DSO (in turn Department of Homeland Security) as I received a new I-20 mentioning the employer's info. Did I do anything illegal?
3. If in future, I apply for a H1B/Greencard through an employer(same or different). Would this incident hurt me and may cause denial of I-485?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay
