Responding to RFE, an archive search uncovered that on 10 Nov 1992, I accepted $2500 from USIA as undergraduate support. This makes me ineligible for AOS. I applied for a waiver of 212(e) and withdrew the AOS. Case status is withdrawn, LUD 27 Nov 2007. |

Topic: H1-B Adminstrative Processing
Immigrant, answers to most of your questions can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Advisory_Opinion and in links therein. |
Topic: J-1 visa advisory opinion question
Thinkpad,
your situation is quite unclear and so I cannot recommend an answer to your question.
1. Has your wife applied for AOS? She should not have applied for AOS if there was any doubt as to whether she was ever subject to 212(e) until resolving this doubt. If she was subject, and applied for AOS, and checked the box on Form I-485 stating that she was not subject, she has to withdraw the AOS application immediately, or risk facing a 10-year or a lifetime ban for willful misrepresentation.
2. Has the Russian Embassy issued a No-Objection Letter? Your second paragraph seems to indicate yes.
3. The Russian Embassy is required to send the No-Objection Letter directly to DOS in Washington. They have the address and know exactly where to send the letter.
4. In view of Item 3, I do not understand the nature of the letter that DOS wrote you. No communication regarding the application for a waiver of the J-1 foreign residency requirement has to go through the Embassy of the U.S. in Russia that I am aware of.
5. The people at the Russian Embassy's Consular Division are professionals. I would trust that their intentions do not change according to immediate political winds, although they may be more or less of a pain to deal with depending on the circumstances.
6. The nature of the RFE from USCIS is unclear in view of Items 1, 2, and 4. |
Topic: 485 RFE, Lot of documents needed !!
If the USCIS say they want paystubs, they mean paystubs.
And they can request anything from any time period if it is relevant to the adjudication process. I had an RFE in 2007 for a form IAP-66 from 1992. With the question of retaining legal status, they can only ask for proof of that since your last entry into the States, but if the documentation relates to another question it can date back as far as they need. |
Topic: Should we Quit USA?
Petieweets, I'm pretty sure you can't vote in any kind of government elections if you are on GC, much less in the pre-GC stage. Nor give money for political causes. You can't be a registered voter in your state or local municipality. Not even for the school board. Doing so makes you criminally liable for election fraud, or some similar. |
Topic: How do I know name check is done and security is clared from FBI
If you get an RFE on your I-485, it almost always means your namecheck cleared. All namechecks are upstream from a review of evidence in the standard USCIS work flow. |
Topic: Why my lawyer does not recommend to travel using Advance Parole?
For those of us in Mantis (usually this is people with non-humanities degrees from US universities who are from China, Russia, Ukraine, and rarely India), H1B extension abroad is not a realistic option (google Visas Mantis to find out why). Also, wait times are quite long in India just to get a consular appointment and an interview. In this situation, if you opt to wait for your H1B stamping abroad, you will probably/most likely lose your job in the US, as few employers will grant you 6--12 weeks of vacation, paid or unpaid. So, AP is the only option. |
Topic: What do I need to bring when travelling with AP
I'm in exactly the same situation. Entered through DTW on 27 August, carrying a stack of documents. I asked the CBP guy what he needed, and the only reply was, "All copies of the AP" (plus the passport, of course). He took one original copy of the AP and left me with two. |
Topic: Why my lawyer does not recommend to travel using Advance Parole?
I think your colleague was ok because its highly unlikely that his EAD/AP would be approved right now. When I was on an F1 Visa, I had got an EAD card - from that point onward my F1 visa was not valid anymore.
Once you have EAD/AP - you are out of your visa status. It means you have entered from a non-immigrant status to immigrant status. If you use your H1B after EAD/AP since it hasn't expired, I think you might have to restart your green process.
The F1 is a non-immigrant visa, while the H1B is of dual intent. While there are differing interpretations among the lawyers on whether simply filing for AOS invalidates the F1 status, the opinions seem to be unanimous that neither AOS filing nor obtaining EAD, nor AP, invalidates the H1B visa or status. It is _using_ the EAD that does.
Whether entering the US on AP automatically invalidates the H1B is also subject to different opinions. |
Topic: A quick thank you and words of encouragement
if I and millions can go through this system, so should everyone. NO APOLOGIES.
The problem is that "the system" cannot accomodate the flow rate, so there is excess pressure at its input and a major bypass channel formed as a result. Just because the system was benevolent enough to let you through personally, while not allowing others, mostly for the misfortune of a wrong place of birth, does not mean the system is designed to accommodate all with similar desires, qualifications, and work ethic.
don't you dare put me in the same grouping as you, or as them.
So, you personally are not in the same group, but in the group of those more fortunate who are able to be accommodated. Looking down on those with less fortune is not a trait that is generally welcome. |
Topic: Why my lawyer does not recommend to travel using Advance Parole?
The "gray area" must have been something that made these clients inadmissible in the eyes of the "stubborn officer". Without knowing exactly what that was, we can't speculate on whether a similar judgment applies in your case, my case, or any other case. |
