Friends,
I have Canada PR since October 2006. In October this year I will complete 3 years since landing in Canada. The rule to maintain PR is that one should live in Canada for at least 2 years in a 5 year period. Since I have not lived in Canada more that a couple of weeks since landing, will I be allowed to move to Canada after completing 3 years outside Canada or will I be sent back from the border? Has anyone moved to Canada after living outside for more than 3 years since landing? Please advise.
Thanks.
you say you will "complete 3 years since landing in Canada"
then you say " I have not livied in Canada more that a couple of weeks since landing"
With these kind of contradictory statements they will definitely send you back from the border. back to where i am not sure.

Hi All,
We are devastated. We got robbed last weekend. We lost everything including our green cards. After 6 years of wait, we got the cards in May. Unfortunately, we did not make any photocopies. We applied for replacement of cards using I-90 forms. Has anyone been in such a situation ?
Please help us with any suggestions.
Thanking you all.
I am very sorry for your situation. I hope it doesn't happen to anybody else.
The right thing to do would be to first report the robbery to Police, which you must have done. Get a copy of that report and get with your attorney or another competent attorney to how to tell USCIS that you have lost your Green card due to Robbery. You can also call USCIS CS number to find out what steps you have to follow in a case like this.
I am no lawyer, so get with a competent lawyer ASAP and get this fixed.
Best of Luck.

I have been following this ongoing decision closely. I feel that going on EAD offers no disadvantage when compared with h1b extension (once 140 is approved and 6 months have passed).
just like h1b you can stay on top to get it renewed every year. Unless one is a bachelor and plans to get the spouse on h4, chamging to EAD doesn't cause any harm. I know a lot of friends who have been on EAD for several years now and have not had a single problem. Th only risk is that if the 485 is rejected, then you have no shelter. But that chance is soooooooo little and i think the 485 rejection only occurs if one is considered to have broken a law, commited a felony or has been in any legal problems.
I am on h1 andhave 2 years and am planning to go on EAD- atleast i can save those 2 years and if some thing happens with my 485, i think i can get h1 sponsored. I don't think so its a one way street (h1 to EAD).
good luck.

Things which can fix this situation are:
1) Law by US govt to add more visas this year.
2) US govt force UCIS to apply AC21 and let Indians and Chinnesse use additional visas rightaway.
A recession will fix things too by reducing visa demand in the worldwide categories that are current today.

For me, my attorney's filed successor in interest I-140 after I filed I-485 due to merger. I faced no issues with this process and you can request them to file the same at your end. This did not affect my I-485.
Thanks
Do you know if your successor in interest i-140 has been approved

Hi all;
Questions if anyone has ever seen an RFE like this one.
My first RFE was asking for all documents related to work authorized by USCIS.
I think I responded properly and provided all documents requested.
Then another RFE just came in end of April mail asking for the following.
Please provide all school transcripts during your F1 student status.
Now I am dummy because up until about few days ago I just realized I made big mistake!
I have gap (7 months) from when I finished school (mid 2002) and when I was approved my H1B (Jan 2003)
I should have went on OPT after school but mistake I think I could wait pending my H1B application. I did not work during that 7 month period and stupid me did not go to school during that 7 month period in end 2002.
Any good lawyers in San Jose area think I can pass with a letter of explanation?

What would be considered STEM? Would all professional that are eligible for H1B such as an Accountant or an MBA in Finance or Marketing be considered STEM? Or its just S T E M?

Hi
I hope someone here can shed some light on my situation. I have two midemeanors on my record and must go for my interview end of next month. The first misdemeanor was last year when I backed up and hit another car's headlight out. Because I did not have my license yet, I left the scene... hit and run. The second was a DUI earlier this year. I ended up with a 5 year probation on the DUI.
I also received two traffic tickets, driving without a license, in the past two years. I'm almost done paying the fines.
I received my temporary work permit last month and received my interview notice yesterday. Will these two misdemeanors/tickets play a role in my interview.
Stupidity has no boundaries! :mad:
Any advice or comments will be appreciated! Thanks.

watchout buddy, some chick working at USCIS might be attracted to you and wants to get your new pics for every application you make.... :D
dang !! if know the chick, I will send my video next time.. maybe I will get green card !!
actually some people I know recently got their green card even though their PD was not current.. I will ask them if they sent their video.. LOL !!
But it is really alarming.. USCIS seems to be making rules on the fly.. what next ? you need to send paper applications in different colors next time ?
It is really not very funny when you have to leave your job because your EAD god delayed because of this new 'rule'.. happened to my cousin. he had to leave the job because EAD got delayed. not only that, since he is working at hospital, his residency got extended for delayed period when he was not working.. not fun ..
vin13
in cousin's RFE the reason by USCIS exactly said that they had used the same photo in visa so they need to send new photos. My attorney also said recently he has seen USCIS asking for 'unused' photos in most of the cases, that's why he is requesting new photos from all his clients.

Thanks RPAT. With this additional clarification I can say that my case is not similar.
In my case, my employer first applied EB3 (pre-Perm) substitution I-140 with LC priority date of Nov-2004 while my EB2 LC was pending. When in Mar-2007 my Perm EB2 LC was approved, employer asked me if I want to continue with EB3 or want to use new EB2 LC. The day I informed my decision to move with EB2 was the day EB3 I-140 was approved. I think then lawyer used Nov-2004 priority date in my EB2 I-140. Approval for EB2 I-140 was received in Nov-2007 and indicated PD of Nov-2004. My I-485 was filed in Aug-07 as concurrent application. Later my company told me that EB3 I-140 was withdrawn. Now my I-485 is still pending and I suspect it has EB3 classification. I have opened SR early this week. Let's see what's the response.
Thanks for your prompt response. Wish you good luck.

Its time that "part time" members who dont care about the immigration voice on a daily basis at least make an effort to read the front page.
"Immigration Voice has hired Patton Boggs, a top public affairs firm, to help us reach our goals.

with Hillary winning Texas on the back of Lations and McCain finalizing the nomination, logic says stupidity like this would hurt the GOP. Siskind floated a scenario like that earlier, but if it's supposed to hurt the GOP, why wouldn't the GOP leadership reign in Sessions et. al.? Maybe I am over-analyzing but I saw this a couple of days ago on how Dem leaders may want to go anti also: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=227606&postcount=2049
oh BTW I agree w/ you that this is going down the drain.
This is a classic example of election year posturing where republicans want to look tough on immigration. This bill will head straight down the trash.

bmneni,
My understanding is that, you wouldn't have an 'A#' when you apply for I-485(if it's first time). If it is second time, then you have to mention the 'A#' assigned to you. Guys, please correct me if I am wrong.
You do have an A number-you're assigned one when you get your approved I140. I remember having to tell my lawyer on my own to put it on there (in front of me) he didn't even think to do it himself:mad:
Bmneni, if you enclosed a copy of that approved I140 you should be ok although from what I hear, to make it easier on the person processing your paperwork it'd be nice to put it on the other forms too. But if a copy of the I140 is there, I think you'll be ok.

Something is happening on Hill. One more enforcement only bill in Senate. Its on CNN LIVE VIDEO. All senators are talking about not giving drivers license, not allowing to open bank accounts etc.
Well it is our friend from Alabama: - "individual bill is a right approach this year."

Want to explore on Caribbean options too. However a question is how can we file for Advance Parole as it requires the applicant to be in US at the time of application, otherwise AOS gets invalid. And if at all we choose her to be here for AP application, it would hinder the education.
Thanks
Venu
AP remains valid for one year and you need to apply for AP in such a way so that for AP renewal your daughter will be in US during vacation etc. In the worst case, she has to fly from Caribbean to Miami (or any nearest US port) just to apply for AP and go back. These are the hassels you need to overcome if you want to send your daughter to MED school without a GC. I did the same with my daughter. You can PM me if you want to discuss in detail.
Good luck.
