Topic: One more stimulus check might be on its way
green822, y didn't you apply for itin number instead of SSN, if you have applied ead for your wife and son, now you can go and apply for SSN for both of them, you had till oct 15 to do any more filing or amendments to previous tax returns. one stupid q are you considered as a resident for tax purposes, and do you fill 1040 or 1040A
I filed amended tax return in March 2008 and didn't see any stimulus check . | |  |  |

Topic: Experience re-entering US with GC
I traveled overseas short after receiving my GC. Returning to the US at Newark Airport was quite an experience. No I-94 form. I spent exactly 10 seconds with the immigration officer. His questions were the purpose of my trip overseas and how long I was out of the US. He then swiped my GC and let me go with a smile. What a difference!!!!
How do they actually calculate how many days one spent abroad ? Does the Airlines staff hand the exit info to the USCIS ? | | | |

c. after return s/he continued to work on her/his left over H1 validity period, and
d. Her/his H1 is about to expire, and the H1 extention is filed. OR
e. Her/his H1 was about to expire, and the H1 extension was filed, and H1 extension was approved. OR
f. Her/his H1 was about to expire, and the H1 extension was filed, and the extension was denied on reasons except due to approval of 485 during H1 processing period.
If answer to (d.) is yes : did you recieve any RFE till date or just waiting for extension? Any experience, please share? OR
If answer to (e.) is true, can you share your experience on extesnion? OR
if answer to (f.) is true, can you share your experience on the reasons for denial? How you handled it?
Mine was case (e). About experience :
1. Came back to USA using AP ( was working on H1B , never used EAD, AP before )
2. Continued to work on H1B
3. Filed for H1 extension
4. Filed for AP,EAD again
5. H1 extension got approved
6. Then, after 2 months Green Card got approved.
7. AP,EAD got denied ( because i have green card ). | | | |

Topic: How long US Citizen(US born child) can stay outside the country?
US born child can stay for upto 6mts visiting India on a Visa.However if you obtain POI Card or OCI Card(this card is isuued to the child if either of the parents have an American Passport) from Indian Embassy you can stay longer.
One has to report regardless of visa or PIO card. Only those with OCI are exempted from reporting. | | | |

Topic: Put your contribution to get your card
I believe India's growth from outsourcing work is negligible. | | | |

Topic: Entering US with greencard at JFK (or any other airport)
Does a GC holder get asked at POE whether he is still working for the GC sponsored employer and working
in the same classification as mentioned in the labor certification ? | | | |

......
I don't think you need to wait for the Approval notice. Welcome notice is nothing but your approval notice. BTW, why would you get four Welcome Notice mails instead of just two (one for yourself and one for your spouse)?
I got one welcome notice. Spouse got three !
I asked my attorney about this, she said "Some times USCIS sends all the three original copies to applicant". | | | |

Why can't they locate the biometrics ?! It should be in the computer , indexed by Alien number ? | | | |

Topic: EB3 India - Is there any hope
The beauty of USA is that one can lobby ( even the non-immigrants ) to change the law , without fearing heads being cut-off .
Just complaining about in trackitt won't cut it. Remember IV.
As for the country limit law , i don't know the history behind it. Indians are still not a significant percentage of US population compared to the Brits, Germans and some other EU folks ( those came many centuries earlier and multiplied ) to affect diversity. | | | |

Topic: EB3 India - Is there any hope
If one doesn't like the rules/laws of land, try to change those by peaceful means. Lobbying....
Immigration Voice comes to memory. | | | |

[06/20/2008] - [ Snail mail - total 4 . All dated june 16, 2008 ] Notice welcoming permanent resident
for both me and spouse
I was excited when i saw the four envelopes from USCIS , i thought "cards are there
too" . The joke is that 3 of them turned out to be duplicate Welcome notices for my spouse !
I think TSC is really welcoming my spouse to USA as a permanent resident . You know
sometimes you repeat the same stuff 3 times it gets some 'power' .
Now, to look for the actual card.
Can i take the 'Welcome' notice to Infopass and get I-551 stamp, in case any urgent travel is
coming ? | | | |

Scared of TSC. They had sent my RFE to previous address ( although previously they have gave me written acknowledgement
of my current address ). We used the RFE 'opportunity' to correct the address again ( the RFE has a golden yellow cover letter with space for change of address ) . I hope the cards come to my current address. Will USPS forward cards to new address ? ( RFE got forwarded ). | | | |

Cool!! Good to see approvals.
All please update this post if your CPO was ordered and you receive the card int he mail from TSC.
Have not received mine till date.
Is it the approval notice that enables one to go for Infopass appointment and get the I-551 stamp ? | | | |

The RFE was about missing TB skin test . | | | |
