How is the consular process for India these days? Is it painful - wait-time etc..just like everything else?

any help - urgent

come on srarao,
Think about it , Is this really something you should be panicked about ?


I donot have my middle name mentioned in H1 anywhere although i filled my application with correct middle name. Its very common to not have midlle name mentioned by USCIS in application.

I have a spelling errors in last name in visa, no problems ever.

There are ways other than "Middle Name" to figure out who you are based on your appliation. So donot worry too much about it.

Donot worry ...donot worry be happy you got receipts.

Can you give some inputs on my query..??

I am now thinking of joining an Indian based company and work for same company in US. With this I can always have a base in India and can think of relocate back if need arises. Can anyone tell me the recruiting procedure for some major companies for an applicant like me ? or How to get a recruited to Indian company while being in US..??

My area of expertise is ASP.net 3.5, AJAX, SQL Server., C#. I hold BE in CS and later completed MS in US. I have been working in US from past 5 years after completing MS.

Greatly appreciate any inputs on this�

Hello, I am an INdian citizen currently workin in the US on an H1-B visa. I need to travel to Europe for leisure in the month of April. I wanted to go to the Bern Consulate to go and get the stamping done for my H1-B renewal on my passport. I wanted to ask if anyone has gone to Bern to get their H1-B stamped and can share their experience?

Also, do you recommend that I go to Canada or Mexico instead? I have heard ppl saying that you should go to your home country or Mexico/CAnada. ANy experiences that you can share with the Canadaian/Mexican US consulates would be appreciated as well.

Thank you.

I think you should talk to a good lawyer immidiately. Waiting here for someone to answer would jeopardise your relatives entry back into US later. As per the law they should be leaving US as soon as you get the denials.

good luck.

Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer Has Just Posted the Following:
Spouses of United States citizens may enter the U.S. with a non-immigrant K-3 visa while the immigrant visa petition is pending. It is important to note that the marriage must be valid in order to qualify and all previous marriages must be legally terminated. Thus, one will include either divorce or death documents (if applicable).

To obtain a K-3 visa, the U.S. citizen will file Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative along with supporting documentation and the filing fee of $355. Once U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) receive Form I-130, USCIS will issue a receipt notice indicating that they received the petition. The U.S. citizen will thereafter file Form I-129F Petition for Alien Fianc� with USCIS and include the I-130 receipt notice, and other supporting documentation. There are no filing fees when filing Form I-129F in this second step.

If the Immigrant Petition (Form I-130) has not been decided, and Form I-129F has been approved by USCIS, the file will be sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC will process the K-3 visa petition and send the K-3 petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where the marriage took place or visa applicant's country of nationality. The K-3 visa applicant will be instructed by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate of further administrative processing.

If both Form I-129F (K-3) and Form I-130 (Immigrant Relative petition) have been approved by USCIS and both petitions were received by the NVC, the NVC will process the immigrant visa petition since there is no need to process the K-3 visa.

Please call us at (214)999-9999 for further information on K-3 visas or other immigration related questions.

US is a sovereign country and Govt of India cannot say what to do and how to handle the immigration issues. Hell GOI cannot handle its own immigration issue on the eastern border :)

You are talking about new 140....my question is for 140 transfers.

Hello ashy15,

I'm in the same situation as you...Mine L1 individual visa will expire by this Sept 2009 and am applying for fresh L1 blanket from my company. Did you get your new L1 blanket visa without any problems? Please reply as it would be of great help to me.

Thanks
Guru

I am currently in the US on L1 Individual visa - my current visa is expiring on the 28st of Feb. My employer filed for a fresh L1 Blanket Visa instead of doing an extension because I had RFE's on i94 extn. My visa interview is on the 23rd of Feb in Canada.

Am I going to have any problems because I did not extend my visa and applied for a fresh one instead?

Any delay due to PIMS? Do I need to check whether my petition number is in PIMS system?

Any information provided is greatly appreciated.

Thanks....Ashy

I had applied AP for my daughter (10 years old). I have read that the Biometrics are required only for 14 years and older. In her case she got I797 with an appointment in late June for Finger Printing (obliviously we had tickets to goto India before that date :-) . What can be done to pre pone the appointment and get the AP at the earliest.

You could have asked for the old I-140 priority date to be tranferred to the new I-140 at the time of filing the I-140. Now that the I-140 is already approved, it will be difficult to get them to make any changes on an approved I-140. Interfiling of new I-140 with old I-485 is possible once the visa number becomes available. The problem is that USCIS does not always acknowledge that they have done this, therefore you might be unsure if this was done or not. Some people prefer to file a new I-485 for this reason.

Thanks for the link. Mr.Srinivas looks promising.

Hi,
I am sending my kid ( US born) with my in-laws to india. Any idea what kind of documents they need to carry ( other than passport, PIO, Birth Certificate)
any body has any expereince?

Do not forget to give grand parents a letter, duly signed by you and your wife that they are taking a minor US citizen, out of the country with parent's consent. I do not have any particular format to give you. Get it notarized, also mention the dates for which he will be outside the country. I had a tough time with Air France few years ago, I was taking my own baby and my wife was not travelling with me. Air France denied me bording because I did not have a wrttien permission from my wife !! It also differs from airline to airline.

For my case, it looks not very easy to keep the same job title after switching employer. So I'm wondering whether anyone has the experience about how to persuade current employer not to revoke my I-140?
My situation is that the managers of quite a few departments in my current employer like me, but these managers are not getting well with each other. So I actually cannot enjoy this and am suffering the politics. And my pay is quite low, much lower than what I got in previous IT company although at that time I was a very fresh graduate, and also lower than the prevailing pay in this industry in the same city. The only reason I joined this one was for family reason.

Guys,

Hi,

Thanks FactoryMan. I had a similar question. My thought is that if the spouse is a dependent, then it shouldn't matter what status s/he is, as long is it is legal.

The next question is, suppose we apply for EAD, but the spouse's current student status expires before receiving the EAD, do they fall out of status?

Thanks,
Ams

I am married to GC holder who is becoming USC on April 30. so i am sending my AOS application on May 1. Dont you think i am still in status since my H1b extension petition is pending????

Are you married to a USC? If so, you have nothing to worry about. Do not travel until your GC is approved as AP is not 100% safe for people that overstayed.
