Hi there,
I have been arrested for shoplifting. Finger printed,and produced in court. The case has been dismissed as I did not do it on purpose. I got the document from the court that case is DISMISSED. 1. Is it good to do the "Case Expungement"?
2. Does the port of entry officer sees the arrest even I expunge the case?
3. any other scenarios I might encounter?
Any suggestions are highly appreciated
Thank you

At the POE the IO will surely know abt your arrest. Have all your documents from the court and show it to them and you will be allowed to come in.

Expungement can be done only after 12 months and u should not have any other record against you.

Just relax,, do not repeat the mistake and cross the boarder if you have to peacefully.. You will be just fine..

Received a USCIS email notification today, for my pending 485 (EB3), priority date not current. Waiting for the RFE details, the RFE was only for the primary applicant not for the dependents.

I called the USCIS customer service and was given the receipt numbers for 485,EAD and AP.The application was put in the system on Sep 8th, Saturday. Checks havent been cashed yet.
Check my signature for the details. USCIS seems to be working overtime.

Congrats tnite.

How did you reach IO level 2? (I thought there is wait for 90 days)

Do your receipts start with SRC or LIN?

Yes, the employer does have several EB2 positions. I am not sure which one to apply for given my EB3 with the same employer and other factors mentioned earlier

Any answers on my individual questions are really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi My Application alongwith my wife and daughter reached NSC on July 2 and signed by J. Barett. Till date (Oct 30 - 2007) I have not received any information. Its over 4 months and whenever I call USCIS they are asking me to wait. I think my application is lost.
My lawyer had sent 25 applications in one packet 22 of them got receipts except the three for me, my wife and daughter.
Will I be able to refile? Lawyer has Fedex Receipt....

Not in the system yet, and no checks cashed.

Submitted: June 30, 2007
Reached USCIS: July 2nd, 2007
Signed for by: J.Barrett @ 10:25 AM

I have no clue as to what is going on here ...worrying indeed.

welcome to IV. Please join IV in the DC rally.

Sorry to hear your situation but USCIS sucks. It is nothing but a deep black hole.

HI fellow members..

I duly filed for AP along with my my 485 in OCT 2007. They messed up the photos on the AP. They put my wife's photo on mine and vice versa. We asked for a correction and they interchanged the case nos on the AP issued.

So after 2 years they still have not given me a valid AP document. I refiled again last week.

I have to attend my sisters wedding in June this year. We are still maintaining our H1/H4 status. My H1 is valid till 2011.

Is it ok to leave the country without an AP and re-enter on H1.? I will have to apply for H1visa at the chennai consulate.

My lawyer advises me not to go without an AP. Not going is not an option for me. Has anyone here re-entered in H1 visa after stamping whiel their I485 is pending.

Im so tired of this immigration game. 0 Accountability. ..they told my lawyer they will not issue a correction to the wrong AP issued since it has already been approved till 2010 and I will have wait till 2010 to re-apply for correct AP and I cannot travel outside till 2010..do these people understand what they are doing ??

Pls take a moment to reply

Are USCIS related expenses like visa/lawyer fees etc. tax deductible? :confused:

The only thing I can think of is to get hold of some relative or friend in Canada, send them $150, have them get the Scotia Bank receipts, and fedex them over to me.

I think this is system account which go and read blogs from different sites. No body reads your comment. Please donot waste time on those system automated message.

please check your PM

Check your PM...

Kirupa, thanks but when I started a new empty xaml file to test your code I got quite a few errors. I'm using the June 2.5 Preview so I don't know if that's the cause of the errors but I've attached a screenshot with the code and errors.

This is how it works.

DOS will decide on a certain number ovisa to be released during a quarter. They will draw an estimate and set the cut-off to a certain date so that USCIS can request visa numbers.

As an example, let us say they decide to release 500 visa numbers for India EB2 the following month and set the cut off for that category to April 2004. USCIS will have a demand for thousands of visa numbers for EB2 India with PDs earlier than that date. DOS will release the 500 numbers and then they will push the date back to April 2002 or something to cut down supply till the next quarter. If there is demand for visa numbers even below this cut off date, they will reduce it further or change it to U.

We could have predicted the movement better if USCIS and DOS were one. But since they are not, it is almost impossible. Like how DOS shocked USCIS last year by unexpectedly setting all PDs to current. The other complication is since many EB3 are now changing over to EB2 with earlier PDs, forget DOS, even USCIS does not know how many EB2s it will have to process.

In short, continue to expect the same pattern of erratic movement.

short visits in this case should not reset his 365 day clock. days of this short visit will just not get counted towards the 365 days.


If I was in your position, I would try getting him here immediately and then try applying for 485 ASAP so he can get his EAD. When you are so close, he doesn't need a new H1.


I would also bring him up here earlier since medical exam and all that takes some time. You may not be able to do this if you have a really short timeframe.



Good Luck!!!

How are the dates mentioned in the following press release (on July 20th) to be interpreted:

http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/ReceiptingTimes20Jul07.pdf

Di you submit all F1, H1, EAD documents to the USCIS with your original I0485 submission? Did you send any W2 forms?

Didn't submit anything related to F1 (Only grad certificate). I did submit paystubs + W2's...

Don't know what triggered USCIS for these RFEs..

He needs to wake up and look at the plight of legal immigrants.

VIA The New York Times

"Although President Obama has put off an immigration overhaul until next year, the federal agency in charge of approving visas is planning ahead for the possibility of giving legal status to millions of illegal immigrants, the agency’s director said Thursday.

“We are under way to prepare for that,” Alejandro Mayorkas, the director of the agency, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, said in an interview. Mr. Obama has told immigration officials that a legalization program would be part of legislation the White House would propose, said Mr. Mayorkas, who became director in August. The agency’s goal, he said, is to be ready to expand rapidly to handle the gigantic increase in visa applications it would face if the legislation, known as comprehensive immigration reform, passed Congress."
