Hi,
I am lost trying to find information on this.
Here's the situation for adding my wife to my I-485 application (we are from India). We DO have her 100% correct birth certificate we got issued last month.
However, since the issue date on it is April 2011, our lawyer insists that we need affidavits from her parents as well (perhaps to avoid RFEs). Further the lawyer insists that the Foreign Affairs Manual for India states that these be sworn in front of a first class magistrate of India.
When her parents went to the local court and request the first class magistrate, the court officer is demanding that we have a sealed copy of the requesting authority (USCIS) that clearly states that a first class magistrate's signature is required!
Questions:
(i) Is the affidavit supposed to be sworn in front of first class magistrate? Even if we have a corrected birth certificate?? Or can it be signed by an 'Executive Magistrate' or maybe even just notarized??
(ii) If yes, did someone else face a similar issue?
(iii) If yes, is there a USCIS document I could send to satisfy their demand?
I did try to find a USCIS document but all it states is that ... IF the birth certificate is unavailable ... then "sworn affidavits" need to accompany non-availability certificate from a competent local government authority.
Please advise :(
PS: FYI, they went to the Palghar court in Maharashtra, India.

Great story, another example how the illegal immigration debate is now a big part of our culture.
In 1993, when I was 14, I became a regular on �Sesame Street.� The show usually liked to have a teenager on, so that was me. My character had my same name, Carlo, and eventually I got a job at Mr. Hooper�s store. I had to make a birdseed milkshake for Big Bird, that was my tryout. I ended up appearing on �Sesame Street� for five years. But the whole time, I had a secret: I was an undocumented immigrant. The papers I�d used to get hired were fake.My family had come from Ecuador when I was seven and my older brother Angelo was nine. We came on a tourist visa, and the moment my parents had gotten it, we knew we were not coming back. They sold all our furniture before we left.
My mother had a sister living legally in the United States, and my parents planned to have her sponsor us for residency. Soon after landing in New York, my parents saw a lawyer. But we were told the process would take four or five years.
Coming to the States was traumatic. In Ecuador, we had lived in a house. Here, we were in a small apartment. We didn�t know any English. But you know, at that age, things change quickly. In six months we were speaking English and running around like normal kids. Most of the time, we blended in. But we knew weren�t supposed to be here, and we lived with a lot of fear.
I started acting when I was 11, almost as a fluke. One day, we went to visit our cousins, and they were on their way to try-outs for a community theater production of �Oliver!� It was through a program put on by the city, to get disadvantaged kids off the street. When we got there, the producers were like, �You should try out, too.� So my brother and I did. Then we all went to lunch. When we got home, we had a phone message that we�d both been cast. I was Oliver.

There are easily 100000 of us here in the line. If we are all given GC's would it work in the national interest?
Specifically, there are three tests for national interest. Refer to this link for a more comprehensive explanation:
Miller Mayer - National Interest Waivers (http://www.millermayer.com/Immigration/ImmigrantVisas/NationalInterestWaiver/NationalInterestWaivers/tabid/224/Default.aspx)
1: Work of "Substantive Intrinsic merit": Basically any work is bound to have some merit, and can probably be quantified to prove that it is potentially worth billions
2: National in scope: Any work done that can be replicated all over the country and benefit a lot of people, or applied everywhere
3: Applicant should be more productive than his colleagues
Collectively, do we meet these criteria? Point by point:
1. Gather details of each and every one's project, past and present, and state the intrinsic merits
2. Include explanations on how the projects and technologies, if or when applied globally, would make a difference
3. Maybe, if you have an approved labor, this can be taken care of
And if we include all of our applications as one, and mention the economic benefits of our migrating, and submit a single application, or several as a whole, do we stand a chance of getting approved for a GC based on National Interest Waiver?
In principle, do you believe that our immigration is in the national interest?

Hi
After waiting for a year for my FP notices and 4 SRs later I guess I took the infopass and went to the local office. The guy out there was quite nice and helpful and gave me the appointment for next day at the local ASC promptly.
Went to the local ASC and was was done in half hour. No issues.....it was a breeze...shd have done it sooner....
And here is the best part: My application had an LUD just 3 hours later.....

Due to Iceland's volcanic ash my MIL trip has to be postponed. She was on visitor visa. We filed an extension with USCIS and paid $300. She left US as soon as flights started to resume.
USCIS approved her extension 30 days after she left US.
a) Can we seek a refund because this extension has to be filled due to reasons beyond our control
b) In the future how to seek a fee waiver (any tips or advice please).
c) Can we seek fee waiver when we e-file a petition.
Thanks for your help

I haven't had "any" FP yet, but I have my EAD and my advanced parole for tavel. I also have my H1B current and stamped in my passport.
Last time I got H1B stamped in the embassy, they took my fingerprits, 10 fingers (I also asked if they want the 10 toes :D)
Can that fingerprinting in the embassy be the reason why they haven't sent any notices for my fingerprinting?
Should I be worried?
Can somebody, please, tell me how do you ask for a service request?
Thanks in advance

Did they take the print of your four fingers (excluding the thumb) together? If not, then the fingerprinting you underwent was not the same.

My EAD card was returned as undeliverable as Mail Box didn't have my name on it.
I changed my address and requested the Card to be resent. CSR said it would take 3-5 business days.
I spoke with a IIO today and she said it would take 4- 5 months to get remailed as per their policy.
Which one is right ,CSR/IIO?
Is there anything that I could do to get my card earlier?
Thank you.

Hi All,
I had a question regarding the relationship between the number h1b transfers and green card process. I've heard some people say that if you have transferred H1b to many companies then the green card process will be delayed because USCIS needs to be convinced that you will be continuing with the same employer. Is this true or does it really not matter how many times you change employers it doesn't effect the green card process.
I have already transferred once. I am thinking of transferring one or possible two more times but am just worried about how this will effect the green card application process.
Thanks,
Purushotham Nayak
GC has nothing to do with H1b only issue is they will verify whether you were in status all the time.

I too received FP notices today. I hope they are sorting out cases which are missing biometrics
Is your cases has been transferred from California to Texas/Nebraska?
Mine was transferred from California to Texas back in may-08 and now i have received this FP notice.
I applied for I 485 , AP and EAD during 07 July. I got a fp notice back in 2007 and I got another one two weeks ago. I went ahead and did my bio-metrics over the weekend at TSC Application Support Center.
Does this mean that somebody has looked into my file and pre adjudicated it? or is it a automated thing and does not mean anything?
Please advice!
