Topic: anybody has the same error message?
This is not a global problem. This is usually a problem with your customer record. Similar thing happened to me when I tried to changed my password and something glitched. If the problem persists for a long time you have 3 options: (a) contact customer service and ask them to fix the problem, (b) do nothing, they MAY fix the problem during the software maintenance, (c) set a new customer record, but you must use a different e-mail address. (b) can take a long time, though it worked for me (I waited 2 weeks), (a) is not too fast since their CS is busy or just do not care, (c) will force you to use a different e-mail address, but you can always set a free google account and forward only CRIS e-mails to your primary one. Of course, you will need to add cases to portfolio again. |
Topic: Question regarding the petition letter for EB1B
In my case the petition letter came from the Dpt Chair. Normally the person who signs I140 issues the letter too. |
Topic: EB2 NIW Question
If you do some research, you'll find out that NIW does not have to do anything with publications/awards. Such evidence is essential for EB1 categories. Google for "three-prong test" and you'll find a lot of information. Publications may help to establish one of three prongs but are not mandatory. Your position seems to be quite unique and, in my opinion, everything depends how your case is presented to CIS. |
Topic: First time travel on GC
I was told by Mexican consulate that a valid passport is required for admission along with the green card (They have this info on the website as well). I went to Mexico a month ago with passport and GC, did not have any problems. |
Topic: First time travel on GC
Vulcan:
Mexico (not sure about Canada) DOES require a valid passport for a GC holder to enter the country as well as bunch of tourist destinations in Caribbean Sea. Passport is required for reentry into the US as well. An airline will not board you unless you produce a passport along with GC (may be with exception for people w/o any citizenship). You can read "Welcome to the USA" booklet which explains precisely what documents you need for travel and reentry.
ihc49:
Once you get your permanent GC, you are a free person, you can even divorce your spouse and keep the GC no matter you are primary or derivative applicant. |
Topic: What is POJ and how to apply ?
POJ stands for "prince of the jungle" which is the nick of its inventor. This is way to communicate with government officials directly.
dial 1 800 375 5283 then 1-2-2-6-1
enter SRC# then 1-1-3-4
If you want to apply for POJ please send $500 via paypal to poj@ucsis.gov. |
Topic: cruise while pending AOS
You may need visa, please check with the consulate/embassy web-site. Unfortunately, this is a drawback of AP. With GC, you do not need visa for the majority of tourist destination in the Western hemisphere, but with AP you do need visas unless there is a treaty between the country which issued your passport and the destination country.
UPD: Just googled it and, yes, citizens of India DO need visa to go to Bahamas. |
Topic: any MBBS docs awaiting I-140 or denied already - kindly help
Well, from the CIS point of view, MBBS may not be equal to US MD, just because MBBS is 5 year degree and US MDs get BS in premed before going to the med school. On the other hand, if you passed residency and state boards, you can practice medicine and you ARE an MD. You can call ECFMG and if they refuse to give you a letter maybe they can point in the right direction. Also, I'd contact the state board. I do not know about PA, but in CA they do independent verification of credentials with foreign school and their standards are even tougher than those of ECFMG and may be they can write you a letter. |
Topic: any MBBS docs awaiting I-140 or denied already - kindly help
Equivalence of your degree to US MD degree has to be confirmed by ECFMG (educational commission for foreign medical graduates). This is the only authority in the US to establish such equivalence. Recognition of the equivalence is sufficient for AOS but obviously does not mean that you can practice medicine, since you need to pass USMLE test and do the whole 9 yards. Also, you do not provide details for you case. The equivalence is required if you are going practice medicine, but if you are going to do research in medicine/biology/pharmacology your bachelor degree may be OK because you are not going to treat people.
If you are filing an appeal, a letter from ECFMG is probably the only evidence to establish MBBS and MD equivalence. Just keep in mind that if do not have it on hand, it takes quite a bit of time to acquire it. |
Topic: I 485 and tax returns
Tax documents do not have to be submitted to CIS unless requested. BUT IRS requires that you retain all tax return documents for 3 years since this is a statute limitation for filing/processing errors. There is no statute limitations for tax fraud cases. For immigration purposes, it's a good practice to retain 5 years worth of tax documents, since 5 years is a statute limit for most of immigration cases.
BTW, for the vast majority of tax treaties H1B status holders must pay taxes. Retroactive repayment of the taxes depends on the specific treaty. Being honest with IRS is important for citizenship application, since paying taxes is one of the PRA's duties. |
