Hi All,

I just checked my status online and it says:

On January 12, 2016, we received your Form CRI-89, Petition to Remove Conditions of Permanent Resident Status Received, Receipt Number WACXXXXXXX, and sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your receipt notice by February 11, 2016, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move, go towww.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

I already got done through my biometrics. How long should I wait? Is there a timeline?

Thanks,

GC

Hi Friends,

I am really confused with making an appointment for a biometric and the actual interview date. I scheduled a date on ustraveldocs.com website but now in realized that it was just a biometric date and not real interview date. Can you guys tell me where do I go and book the actual interview date? It is for my Mom and it will be under B1-B2 tourist visa. Do in need to call them to book an interview date? The document I have right now says OFC appointment .

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thank,

Hi,

Should I follow this link ?

http://www.***removed***/visitor-visa/sponsor-documents.html

Or is there anything missing?

Rohit

You can not sponsor your Mother.

By sponsering , I meant to say applying for her B1/B2 ( visitor) visa. I am not applying for a PR for her.

Does that clarify it?

HI Guys,

I am a Permanent resident and applying for my mom's visa for the first time. I have few questions and I will honestly appreciate any replies.

My questions:

1) How much balance should I have in my account?

2) Do I need to book her ticket prior to the visa date?

3) For finances, If i show my accounts back in India , would that help?

4) Is there a list of documents My mom should take to the visa interview?

5) is it good to show my property papers having her name which will help her to show that she is not a potential immigrant?

5) Also, should I have an affidavit of support documents?

Thanks in advance.

I got my interview schedules for this 4th Feb but I had to reschedule as I am currrently in India and my wife will be visiting my family

next month in India. My concern is I don't have a permanent address in US as I work as an IT consultant and I keep moving a lot. Now ,

all my documents ( phone, bank statements, etc. ) are already forwarded to my wife's address . I will be back to US this Feb end.

So for 2 months, there is no way I can get USCIS documents and notifications.

So should I just change my permanent address to my wife's address? That way I will at-least get all my documents on time.

We will be moving together in April most probably. This change in address will definitely delay my GC processing but my only

concern is it that, will this have a negative impact on my GC processing ? it should not because all my address changes

were genuine with a reason and I had to travel urgently because my dad passed away.

Thanks,

if you EAD is a EAD/AP combo, you should have no problem in travelling.

My wife in US just made an info-pass and she got it for this Monday. If it gets delayed by 1-2 months, I guess I am okay as I already have my EAD/AP with me.

Staying with my family is the first priority now.

Thanks.

Should I ask my wife to make an infopass and ask them to reschedule it? I can give her a copy of my dad's death certificate to prove that it is genuine and also my ticket showing that I am not in US now. I was reading it online and in some cases USCIS even denied the AOS .

I went for bio-metrics on 9th DEC and got my interview for Feb 4th. So it's almost 2 months. I guess it all depends on the USCIS center your case is being processed.

Thanks everyone . My friend got my EAD/AP combo and he will be shipping it to me very soon.I am so relaxed and I don't have no sleepless night any more .

I really appreciate your suggestions. That means a lot.

God bless you all.

Thanks. I will call them and give them the address. I guess they are closed on 1st so I will call them on 2nd and update the address.

Thanks Hypnos and Valeria. I just changed my address using online form AR-1. I really appreciate your suggestions. I have been in India for just 7 days and I plan to stay for another 1 month.

Also, Should I change my address using AR-11 form? MY I-485 status says " Testing and Interview" and I-130 says . I am sure to get an interview in the month of January but sadly I won't be there. So I have to let USCIS know again and reschedule my interview.

Another confusion is that my I-131 application says "Post decision activity" and my EAD/AP was already sent. What is that suppose to mean?

Thanks.

Darnell,

I do understand and speak pretty good English and If I am saying I don't get it , then of-course I don't get it. And If your post can't help someone, I would appreciate if you please not confuse us. Thanks again .

Thanks Hypnos. I completely agree with you. I appreciate your reply.

Darnell.

Can you please elaborate what you mean here? You mean should I inform USCIS about my current situation ? I am just worried if I let them know about my current situation, they will probably cancel my whole application.

Guys,

One more question out of curiosity, My online status still says testing and Interview. My wife will be visiting me next month and so is this anyhow possible to have my interview here in India? If a USC sponser someone sitting in India , How long will this take, keeping in my mind that my case was already filed in US and I had to fly dude to my family emergencies . Should I hire an attorney back in US?

I am waiting for someone who already has faced such situation and I want to know how they dealt with it. I would really appreciate all replies.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for all your suggestion and it means a lot to me. I checked my status and I will be getting the combo EAD/AP on Monday. My friend will email me the scanned copy and either mail me or my wife who is visiting me next month and will bring it along with her. Worst part of all this painful process is that USCIS never try to understand and help you in these kind of situation . Instead they make it worse. I heard it on this forum that if you have approved EAD/AP card , you can get some kind of stamping on your passport but all my effort was in vain. I do have an approved H1-B but getting stamp on my H1-B is even tougher and as you guys said it will void my GC process . So I will rather wait for combo card and I strongly hope that I will get it soon. I will keep you guys updated of my situation.

I just want to say that this forum is of great help .

Thanks guys

Thanks Dave. It was an emergency . I had to leave the country and I had no options. I went to the USCIS office and asked them to give me some document as a evidence for me to return back to US but they were kinda rude and told me straightforward that this is the only option . They told me that my EAD/Parole was approved on 3rd Dec, 2013 . Anyways, I checked my status and I have the USPS tracking number with me. I already told my friend to pick it up from USPS and send it to me. I created this thread to just see if any other applicant has faced the same situation. I did send all packages including AOS and EAD/AP. In worst case, if I don't get the card, I just want to have some backup with me. I was thinking :

1) I will change my address again and this time I will change it to my wife's address and will ask USCIS to send me the card again. I am sure this will take another 3-4 weeks.

2) Try to get stamping on my approved H1-b document which is a big hassle.

3) May be go to embassy here in India and asked them any kind of documents. I have all my NOC from USCIS with me . For this option i.e. going to US embassy in India , I have no clue what should I do . I would really appreciate if someone can give me some guidance.

Thanks in advance.

Abandoned my AOS? can you please elaborate?

Hi Friends,

USCIS accepted my package on 30th September, 2013. I moved to a different city and as per USCIS thry mailed my EAD/Parole to my old address and it was undelivered .

Due to my dad's serious health condition, I had to leave US this 25th. Before leaving US , I went to the USCIS office and asked them to give atleast some documents to show that my Green Card is in processing but they were too rude an told me you EAD is aproved and we can't do anything and you should wat for your card. Now , I see it on USCIS website and status says " Card/ Document Production " .

So I asked my friend to ship the card as soon he got this in mail.

My question is , if it in worst case , I don't get this card, can i still travel with my application info and tell them my EAD/parole is approved.

I do have a H1-B too but it is not stamped. So should I go for stamping or wait for atleast 2 weeks for my card to be here in India.

Does anyone has ever faced this kinda situation ? I would really appreciate all your replies. That would be a great help to me.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot guys for your replies. Much appreciated.

Hi Friends,

I went to the Alexandria center and got done with my bio-metrics today. I asked the lady who did my bio-metrics about my EAD and she told me you should get in your mail box 3-4 weeks from now.

USCIS received my package on 30th August and it took so long for Bio-metrics because of address change and I was fool not to now let them know and to trust the USPS forwarding option. So I have these three questions :

1) According to you guys, when should I get the final interview?

2) Can someone tell me how long it took for them to get EAD after their bio-metrics was done ?

3) Since My case is somehow already delayed , Can I ask them for an earlier interview or should I just wait for it?

4) Can I still get an RFE?

I would really appreciate your replies.

Thanks.

Thanks for replying. I got it done today.
