If you belong to India then it depends on the state of residense. You can go to other consulates if you are a returning H1B, meaning this is not your first H1 stamping. For first time stamps they require one to go the consulate of the region they belong to.

You don't. Your employer files an I9, and there they mention your status. This is why they need to update using an I9 every time you get a H1 extension.
As far as I-9 form goes, it is my understanding that it is not filed with any agency. The form is retained by the employer only.

I dont think u'd be barred from entering that country again on a tourist visa but another PR? For sure u can forget that.
Why is that? What if I have a job offer from a canadian company and they sponsor me?

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
You mentioned your friend has added his wife to his green card application. Can you please let me know which Center (Texas or Nevada) is processing her I-485.
You are right. It would take approximately 9-12 months before she can get her GC. A friend of mine in the same situation. He added his wife to the GC application last year when PD was current. He got his GC in August 2010, but his wife is still waiting for the GC. It all depends on 485 processing dates and FBI name check etc....but she will get EAD/AP in few months....

all the best jazz..
Thanks!
I traveled to India and got back on Monday (9/1/2008), AP expiring on 9/4.
As expected, I was asked to go to secondary inspection.
Handed them the passport, I-94 and AP.
(Saw others handing over wads of paperwork... )
Got called at the counter (others were being called by officers for interviews in different rooms... ). The only question asked: What's your job. Took less than 15 seconds.
I was hoping to get the CPO email while I was traveling, but no such luck. Apparently, NSC hasn't kept pace with TSC... :)

From Poll results, it seems there r 3 people who got their FP notices already. Just want to make sure--you guys are NSC->CSC->NSC transfer cases or was it Xfr'd to TSC?
None of them is a transfer case nsc>csc>nsc... I checked their posts, That means NONE of nsc>csc>nsc transfer cases have received the FP...

Duh... Guess I haven't woken up properly yet! Now I re-read all the posts, you're absolutely correct. Oops.
Anyway, I've found the break apart doodad can be quite hit and miss. I had a picture of some trees for an X-Files stylee website design I was toying around with, and they came out awfully, while some pylons came out even better. Neither were anything too radical, just basically black and white images.

Sab,
If you do the paper file for which you submit all the initial evidence and supporting docs, you dont need to do finger printing.
but if you do e-file then you will have to go for finger printing.
Anytime you do your finger printing it is valid for about 15 months.
For me too I gave my finger prints in Nov 2007, but still USCIS sent me FP notification for code2 Finger printing.
by the way USCIS's RFE for me turn out to be that they dont have my code-2 finger prints in their system, so they need to know the details about my FP appointment and what's the schedule.
USCIS processing is really goofed up for e-filed applicants.
This is my personal expereince and their are lot of other folks who filed around the same time frame are facing the RFEs for fingerprints.
anyways i am going to respond to my RFE once i complete my biometrics on august 22nd 2008, by that time i will have the acknowledgement from the Seattle, ASC that they indeed complete my code-2 FP for the EAD purpose.
If you do paper based EAD renewal, you will receive EAD cards but it says fingerprints not available. As long as your employer is accepting the EAD cards it doesnt matter wether its with fingerprints or without fingerrints.
I hope this helps.

Hi All,
Will we run into any problems for GC replacement since we do not have a photocopy of our GCs? We have photocopies of the approval notices. We know our alien number and SRC numbers since they are the same as listed when we apply for 485. We are hoping to get our passport stamped after we get our passports.
We are hoping to show our tax records as additional proof.
Thanks for all your help.

Non-immigrants residing in the U.S. are required to update USCIS with a change of address within 10 days of moving. As you now appear to be living in a different location "y", you should update USCIS for you and any dependents immediately.
As you are now living/residing in place "y" that is your residential address and you will need to file your AP/EAD (I-131/I-765) renewals according to your current address.
Some general instructions:
Please be sure to visit the USCIS website at https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa for information regarding U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Change of Address procedures and for access to Form AR-11. USCIS expects that the Form AR-11 should be mailed or submitted electronically within ten days of any change of home address. You may submit the form electronically to https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa.Terms, or by mail to the USCIS address listed on the Form.
If not submitting electronically, we strongly advise that all such forms be sent using U.S. Certified Mail, and Return Receipt cards. Sending the AR-11 form via Certified Mail is the only way to prove that change-of-address notification was submitted in a timely fashion.
Please be sure to indicate that you have pending petitions and provide the respective receipt numbers.
Good luck

Crystal ball gazing
Everyone wants us to put on our genie�s hat, gaze into our crystal ball, and try to predict what is going to happen in the next few months. So here it goes�
Congress is set to debate CIR in May. HLG thinks that there is a reasonable chance that one house of Congress passes CIR in the May/June timeframe. And that the other house of Congress passes another CIR in June/July. With some negotiation, a compromise CIR bill could be on the president�s desk by the middle of the summer � say July.
In addition, we are also actively courting the bridge legislation that we�ve mentioned many times. HLG was privy to a meeting that took place just this week with a senior staffer in an important Senator�s office. The challenge here is to find the right must-pass legislation that can serve as a host.
Putting this all together HLG is slightly raising our latest estimate. We�re willing to print that there is a 60% chance that either CIR or Bridge legislation is passed and signed by the President by August 1. Whenever a bill is passed it will likley take an additional 30-60 days before the first visas are issued.

Hi All,
My lawyer waited until the last minute and filed I-140/I-485 concurrently even when the PD was current in June07 for me. It a Labor Substitution case so should I file new I-140 before July 16th with a copy of ALC and write a note or they will take out I-140 from the file and only return the I485? I cut a seperate check for I140 while filing.
please advice asap.
Thanks

IV members have saved all of us a lot of money on attorney phone calls, getting answers to medical test questions and other general questions. Please contribute to IV so that we can keep this effort going. While everybody is busy collecting documents and paperwork for 485, core IV again is doing their personal paperwork and + lobbying.
Please contribute, especially if you are new and never contributed. Please do not be a freeloader and get your questions answered and run away.
Thank you
