I'm new here and hope this is posted in the right forum.
I got my ASC Appointment Notice ( case type: I 90 Application to Replace Alien Registration Card) and need to show up to the Milwaukee USCIS office this Friday at 8a.m. for photo ID, biometrics, etc.
Problem is, the USCIS website says the office is closed on Fridays. Other websites say the office is open on Fridays (but they were updated over a year ago), and an immigration attorney website says the office is open Fridays but only until 12.
What to do?
I have to drive three hours just to get there . Do I go anyways and risk it?
The 1800 telephone numbers are no help and any local phone number is useless.
Anybody have suggestions or similar experience. Thanks. JAFO.

Is there any good news for DB Visa in that bill?
Nothing! This bill passed the Senate a month before they started the CIR. Cornyn introduced the SKIL act and then he immediately withdrew it because he was hoping that it will become part of the future Immigration bill. Later on the CIR failed and we are left with nothing again.

Folks:
Need advice on my birth certificate matter.
I have my birth certificate. My DOB is correct on it along with Date of its registration (DOB+5 days).
My father's name and mother's name is not spelt exactly the same as in my passport.
Example:
my father's name has an extra "bhai" in the name. xxxxbhai yyyyy zzzzz
my mother's name has only her first name and not her full name. aaaaa
My passport has thier correct full names.
What kind of document(s) would i need to submit in order for me to use thier names listed on the passport? Could this cause an issue?
OR am I preparing for no reason?
Thanks for all your help,
Silverfishy
You never know with USCIS
1. Try and see if you can get a corrected Birth certificate with the correct names issued.
2. Try to get affidavit's from your parents that they are also known by the name's present in the passport and birth certificate
3. Try and get any/all kind of supporting documentation to support this fact including any affidavits from other relatives ( elder people than your parents)
5. Official documents that establish you to be related to them and also any other documents that show that both the people are same.
6. In case of your mother's last name not appearing the certificate try and contact the municipal admn and see if they issue a new certificate which contains the correct name and with that an explanation letter that the records stand corrected or whatever
7. Secondary evidence like - your educational transcripts that contain your father's name
8. Official identity cards( voter registration etc) that prove the same
basically any document that establishes the link
good luck
-cheers

Not sure about specific places, but in general problems are when you are coming back to US.
If you have stamped and valid h1b for returning back to US, you should be fine.
I have not had any issue or heard of any issues while visiting mexico, hawaii or alaska
HTH
Hawaii and Alaska are states that are part of US and you are free to travel anywhere in the 50 states of US without the need to show Visa or travel Document. However its not the same with Mexico. Its a different country.

Our travel doc is expiring in October 2010. My wife would like to travel in Sep and return in Nov/Dec timeframe and now we are waiting since mid July on the renewal. Airfares are already high this year for some reason and we can't make travel plans or book tickets until the last minute. Very frustrating. I remember last year my renewal got approved in less than a month, not sure whats the delay this year...How do we even go about contacting them to expedite?

1 . Where is the donor forum? I could not find it
Donor Forum is visible only to the donors in the forum page.
2. I am a donor (two times). But I do not have access to it.
Donor forum access is provided to verified current donors only. Past donors cannot subscribe to this forum - it does not work like yearly/lifetime membership. To have continuous access to the donor forum, you will have to be a recurring donor.
However, if you have donated recently and cannot access donor forum, please contact me and I will be glad to help. Thanks.
So IV do not provide the important news to the members who are not donors. That is unfair. Even though I have not filed my green card I have donated some amount in the past.

Sganny,
It is possible to obtain extended B-2 status based on the need for medical treatment in certain cases. In addition to providing strong documentation of your son's medical needs, you would also need to show that he would not be able to get adequate treatment in your home country. Additionally, you would have to provide documentation to show financial resources sufficient to support your family without having to work in the US.

Hello Everybody,
This is my story,
1 - Came to US on B2 (visit visa) in October, 1999. My legal stay way valid till April, 2000
2- Found an employer and in March, 2000 filed for H1B/extension of stay. Lawyer at the time told me that since we filed H1 i don't need to file any other extension of stay
3- August, 2000 received approval notice of my H1 but approval notice mentioned start date of October, 2000 rather than March, 2000 as requested in the petition and approval notice did not have the I-94 card attached with it meaning they did not change my status. Appealed the decision and got some feedback from USCIS that they will look into this. Started working for the company in October, 2000. In January, 2001 Company received another notification from USCIS but I was never provided the copy so not sure what was the decision and was told all is fine but never provided the final approval notice. When i checked case status back in January 2001 it said case approved and approval notice sent. However when I check online case status now I see following,
Application Type: I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER
Current Status: Cable sent to American Consulate or port of entry notifying them of approval.
On September 7, 2001, the appropriate American Consulate or port of entry was notified of the approval of this case. Please contact them directly if you need more information.
4 - In 2002 transferred my H1 to new company and got the approval with new I-94 card without any issues.
5- In 2004 transferred my H1 to another company without any issues and I�m with that company since then. They filed my labor, I-140 which has been approved and now ready to file I-485. Lawyer of this company wants to attach the approval notice of my first H1 from 2000 with I-94 card attached to it showing proof of my change of status which i don't have. I have approval notice without I-94 card from 2000.
6- I also left the country in 2006 and went to Canada for two weeks and then came back in the same month without any issues.
Current lawyer is fling I-485 without my first approval notice from 2000. Do you think this would cause issues or generate RFE for I-485? I heard that once you leave the country and re-enter legally all previous status issues if any are put to rest, I left the country in July 2006 and re-enter in the same month?
Please provide your input on my case...many thanks!!!

My wife has her H-4 visa expired. She has her papers(I-797) valid until Dec 2010.
My firm plans on filing an extension for my H1 and my wife's H4 next month. Is it ok for her to stay in India while the H1/H4 extension is getting processed?
Is it ok to travel via Frakfurt? Would she need a transit visa?
Please advice. Thank you,for your responses.

Delaware Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The EB-5 Immigrant Investors Program is recently extended to September 30, 2012. The statutory requiments of the EB-5 visa are burdensom. Approximately only about 1,000 people a year have immigrated in this category -- just one-tenth of the visa available.
For the regular program, the enterprise must (1) be one in which the person has invested at least $1 million (or at least $500,000 if investing in a targeted employment area), (2) benefit the U.S. economy and (3) create full-time employment for at least 10 U.S. workers.
A business can be used for employment-creation classification by more than one investor, provide that each investor has invested the required amount and the creation of 10 full-time jobs may be attributable to each investor.
The investor is required to enter the U.S. to engage in a new commercial enterprise, i.e., the investor must maintain more than a purely passive role in the new enterprise, and he or she must either be involved in the day-to-day managerial control of the commercial enterprise or manage it through policy formulation.
USCIS does not require retention of employees until a reasonalbe time after conditional visa is issued. Normally, a comprehensive business plan supporting the need for 10 employees within the next two years is acceptable.
The procedure to apply begins with submitting initial evidence with an I-526 petition. If the I-526 petition is approved, the investor becomes a conditional resident for two years. After the two years, the investor has to file an I-829 to remove the condition. It must be accompanied by evidence that the individual has invested or was in the process of investing the required captial, and the investment has created 10 full-time jobs.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1142140030762969806-6519671685318254492?l=deimmigration.blogspot.com

I have mis-placed my EAD. Normally I can just apply for another EAD. But, I will be travelling to India in Mid March on Advance Parole and I'm not sure if I'll get the EAD by then.
My question is, will they ask for EAD upon re-entry.
I am thinking of applying for EAD after coming back. Is there any special processing for applying for a lost EAD ?
Any advice is appreciated.
Use the same application procedure as though applying for a new EAD, but make sure you check the box where it says "replacement of lost EAD". Also, write a cover letter explaining that you need a replacement EAD. I had to go thru this just a couple of months ago and USCIS reissued the EAD within a month.

Johnny, you must have a passport. I also suggest that you carry a notarized letter signed by both of your parents that you have their permission to make this journey.
