I checked on the website, and it has a note - " Important Note: In certain cases of an old passports issued by an office other than the Consulate General of New York, a passport is issued for one year. In such cases, applicants have to apply for extension of the passport any time after 45 days. A passport is also issued for one year in cases of expiry of valid U.S. residence visa. In such cases, applicants have to apply for extension of validity as soon as valid U.S. Residence visa is approved. "
Here's the link that I was referring to...
RENEWAL OF PASSPORT OR NEW PASSPORT - www.indiacgny.org (http://indiacgny.org/php/showContent.php?linkid=225&partid=223&sub=sub3)
What I meant to ask was, I cannot apply for a renewal until I get my new I797, right ? And, once I get it, and plan to travel, I'll go for a new visa stamp and I just want to make sure that I get it for the duration applicable and not until the expiration of the passport, and also that if i get my passport renewed here, I get it for another 10 or so years and not one.
Also, could you please tell me how long does it usually take to get the passport renewed ? I'm in NY area.
Thank you.
To my knowledge.. Indian passport is renewed now for 10 years, of course Please apply for the renewal of passport as soon as you get the new I-797. (Otherwise they might give it for one Year). So You should get for a 10 year renewal.
And regarding your stamping, I do not know your personal situation, If the travel to India is not very urgent, Please postpone it at least til you get your EAD/AP if you are planning for a permanent residency. Otherwise if you are going for stamping, its all your GOOD LUCK! especialy nowadays for H1B stamping.
Usually it takes one and half months to renew the Passport in US. I have done it way back in 2003. I am not aware how long it will take now.
Please talk to your attorney,and decide.

This whole quota is the number which USA admits per year into its inner circle i,e, GC. Now once that quota is full, you can't be given access to inner circle(IC) or allowed to fill 485 which is final verification to the IC. Inner circle facilitates you with a EAD/AP for you and your spouce.
Now question is why 485 is the last stage as its employee verification ? simply because employee fiiling up a job. establish 1st, job is available and no worker from IC is there to do it. Then verify who supervises the job gets done (Employer) and then verify who will do the job (emplyee). Although there are so many jobs to be done, quota stipulates how many of then to done by IC people. Rest will be done contructer or temps like the us.
Theoritically all these process should have been finished within a year or so to do justice to all... But there are other proprities... Who is more important etc. Then there is politics like IC people want to have good life ...so they slow down the work...making a dely...or the resources are taken from this field to another at the cost of us because we have no say on the process which will elevate us...

It's like the USCIS and employers ganging up against you to make sure that you can't change employer without having to start everything all over again. Is that really fair? Well.. who said life is fair. :)
That pretty much covers our current situation :( ... EB immigration is driven by corporate interest and obviously it is geared to benefit them to the maximum extent possible.

Thanks for replying. I just came back from the court and got back the following
1. Court certified copy of the complaint
2. Court certified copy of the whole case docket
What I found was my charge was reduced from DUI (VC 23152(A) and VC23152(B) to Wet reckless (VC 23103.5(A)) by negotiations with DA. The docket also mentions that I have paid all the fees and completed all the courses assigned to me.
Does this help in this matter?
I am going to consult an attorney but does anyone know what could be attorney charges in such case?
I honestly did not know that I needed to mention DUI in the application otherwise I would have since I have nothing to hide and I want everything to be straightforward.

I had a somewhat similar issue where my parent's I-94s had wrong names on them (Both had same names printed on them). My colleague at work told me that he got name spelling fixed for her mom by going back to the same airport. First I did not believe him, but when I tried it worked. By the way in my case I went back after 2 weeks and POE was IAD.
It looks like you can get minor errors on your I-94 fixed at the POE itself.
All the best.
I came back to US on Mar 30 2008 using advance parole. The officer wrote on I-94 , paroled until Mar 29, 2008 (I am assuming its an oversight).
I didnt detect the oversight till yesterday. What my current status and what actions should I take to rectify the error.
I am still working for my employer that sponsored the H1B which is valid till Feb 2009, although the stamp on the passport was valid only till Feb 2008
Thanks

i am not a lawyer and may be mistaken, but i was told that if one's spouse is using EAD, then you must be in EAD status and cannot be in H1 status (since then dependent spouse would be in H4 status and cannot work).
Can anyone confirm this?
best,
-andy
It is the other way.
If the spouse has EAD and wishes to be in AOS, then the primary applicant can be either on H1-B or on EAD; it does not matter.
If the spouse has no EAD (so that s/he has to be on H-4), or for whatever reason wants to remain in H-4, then the primary applicant must be on H1-B.

I am thinking of Murthyas as lawyer. Her fee of taking over pending $ 2100, Can anybody suggest any other lawyer and there Fee's etc and all.
I will really appreciate the help.
I am about to ask my lawyer also for a quote on this. Does that 2k include your dependents also? (Also, I am assuming its for everything, including MTRs, RFEs, Appeals, help with contacting senators if needed etc. that is right?). Does it also including filing for APs and EADs, or would those be all extra (USCIS fees would ofcourse be separate)

Recently, I made my own PP photos using http://www.epassportphoto.com/
This is a great service - It creates a jpeg file from a picture that you upload, and you can choose the "free" option in which you can save the jpeg file with 4-6 pictures in one frame (A 4" x 6" photo can yield 6 pp photos of 2" x 2"), and take it to Walgreens/Costco/Kinkos for a printout for $0.25 each. Otherwise you pay about $8-$12 for 2 photos at the same stores!!
For a family of 4, this equates to savings of ~ $40!!!
The site has all the tools for meeting various types of visa/pp/etc photo requirements for various countries.
Most WOLF camera and RITZ camera stores do the same thing for free. I have done this many times. Use a good digital camera and take the pics in memory stick or USB and they crop the photo to the right passport specifications. All you pay for is the print which is $0.25 or less.
Its good to know we have an online option as well. Thanks for the info hinvin66.

Hi,
My wife's H4 visa got expired in jan 2008 and I renewed her I-94 and I-94 got extended till 2010.
Next week she is travelling back to India throgh Lufthansa airlines from portland to Frankfurt to Chennai. Some people are telling that getting transit visa in Frankfurt airport is difficult if visa stamping got expired eventhough you have valid I94. Is it correct?
I have two questions here.
1 Is really transit visa required, as just she needs to catch another flight in other terminal in the same airport?
2. If transit visa required will it be problem if her visa stamping got expired ( But she has vaild I797 and I-94 documents ).
Please help me by answeringthese questions.
Regards,
Brahma Reddy

My PD 15 July 2002 EB3 India and
I485 Receipt Date May 12, 2004
Found that someone with Aug 2002 PD got approved on June 1 whose I485 Receipt date was May 2003.
I guess USCIS does not go by PD to select who should be adjucated first but by what date the I485 was received. They are really ingenious and creative in finding ways to be inefficient and unjust.
Oh well....
IV is the only place that is doing a lot to change.
Keep the good work IV.
Have donated $200 under my name and $150 under my wife's name to IV
Well this is always going to be there,FIFO is not guaranteed during adjustement of status.It is quite possible someone who has filed later and has a PD which is later is likely to be approved because this depends on various factors i.e case to case basis,FBI name check ,security clearance,immigration officer who is adjucating your case etc.
But the good news for you is that your case has now has a available Visa Number and if your application is in order (as per the Immigration Officer)
then u will get an approval.
In other words your chances of your case /PD being retrogressed are highly unlikely.

Sorry to go on about my birds, but this I wanted to share...
I was out to get some training photographing flying birds when I suddenly saw this seagull that had a wooden stick poking out from the neck. I decided to turn photo journalist for a while and concentrate on pictures of this unlucky bird. I don't know what could have happened to it, either it has accidentally flown into something or God forbid someone has shot an arrow at it. :(
I have already found out that photographing flying birds is difficult, but try photographing a specific bird in a big flock - that's taking the difficulty to another level! :) I managed to get a few inflight pictures as well though. Unfortunately it was of course not too difficult to spot with the wooden pointer attached.
This is what I first saw, the bird flying past me a couple of times:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3345.jpg
He was clearly irritated, kept scratching around the head and shaking to get rid of the stick:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3402.jpg
This bird seemed quite dominant, kept chasing off other birds, so it wasn't too hindering:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3353.jpg
He was also out on the water, resting as well as courting and chasing other birds:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3382.jpg
When I threw in some bribes he also joined in in the feeding, both feet and stick in the water:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3362.jpg
Here's another inflight picture with the ugly stick poking out:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3396.jpg
And a final portrait of this unlucky bird:
http://www.InterimLocation.com/FretNoMore/Photo/10D/pictures/LargeBirds/ImpaledGull_3329.jpg
To end on a slightly brighter note here are two birds just about to take off:

Thanks so much for the responses.
I have my receipt number. And I am trying to get a hod of my case folder from th company lawyer.
"As such you do not need H1 due to new rule on OPT, however; you need to check if the H1 was applied for change of status? If it is a change of status application, you need to probably inform USCIS that you will not be changing status to H1."
Is there any way I can check if th H1 was applied for change of status without information from the company lawyer?
Thanks again.

I completely understand that nothing is ever going to happen in favor of legal immigrants. However, when I saw what really the dream act meant to do, I just thought we should get some senators involved and aware of the plight about the kids of the legal community too. One of my friend has 2 kids and he has been waiting now for over 6 years every single day of that in perfect legal status. what wrong did the kids do? why dont they compare equal to the ilegal kids who are going to be blessed by this bill if it is passed. I am sure IV might not have enough will for this since many of the leaders might not have kids but atleast look at others who have kids and always face the dreaded scenario of having to uproot them from their schools/friendships in case of immigration-related issues.
