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 ? |

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". |
