$2000? Not likely.....immigration attorneys are interested in one, and only one thing: money. They charge $2000 to fill out an index card. A typical I-601 package will cost $8000-$10,000 (Laura 'Fleece 'em All' Scott)....
they bill you for 25-30 hours of their time...in reality, they will spend less than 90 minutes on this project....but will sell you some horse manure story about how much time they will spend 'preparing' (i.e. , Xeroxing) the papers....anyway, it's your money...
At this point in time, i dont know what else to do, im quite desperate.
Lizz Cannon worked for Laurel Scott. I believe she was a paralegal and went on to law school. She learned from the best. If memory serves me correct, Lizz went to school here in MA. Laurel has more experience if that's important to you.
yes, her office is in MA and she did work under Laurel Scott. which one would you suggest form the two, liz cannon or laurel scott?

Thank you very much.

Check out immigrate2us.net for more info on waivers. There are a few knowledgeable users here, especially emt103c, but she may be at the other site more frequently than she is here. You could also do a free consult with Heather Poole at humanrightsattorney.com. Best of luck to you. And keep checking back here and let us know how it is going.
Hi Spookyturtle,
I was just wondering which lawyer you would suggest for filing of I601? Heather Poole or Laurel Scott?
Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you very much.
-
Say goodbye to $8000.
Yes, this is going to be a very expensive procedure...
Well I prefer Marc Ellis,
But from those two proceed with anyone both are good in this field. Liz is much popular.
Thanks

We reached US safely and at the POE they didn't ask any X-Ray reports. All they asked was the sealed envelop given by the consulate.
It took less than 20 min at the Immigration.
My wife's x-ray result is not sealed as well. It is a film. No problem at port of entry. Medical test is in Singapore.
Our daughter's x-ray result is sealed. It is in the compact disc (CD). Medical test is in the Philippines
Our daughter is positive in the tuberculine test although the x-ray is clear (i think this is due to the environment in the Philippines) thus there is an annotation in her visa. The health officer at the port of entry asked us to contact the health services in our county for further evaluation and we will bring with us the test and x-ray results.
your clinic should have provided sealed x-ray report. thats the rule. You can get back to the clinic and ask them for sealed x-ray report. they might want to keep it for their records thats why they ask for it at POE. Also your x-ray report should be clear.
Hi VJers,
I just received my X-ray yesterday, they said to keep it in my 'CHECKED IN' baggage when travelling to the US, does that seem right?
How will i be able to present it to the immigration officer if it is not in my 'HAND CARRY BAGGAGE' ?
Please help.
Thank you.
-
it all depends on the US consulate. If the status of your case changes from AP to issued then you will get it sooner. I was lucky. My case status changed from AP to issued on the same day and my passport was available for pickup the very next day. In some cases, the case status remains in AP for quite a few days.
Thank you very much Jese!
Good luck on your journey!

Upon endorsement by CBP your immigrant visa serves as temporary proof of a green card for up to one year. People will sometimes enter, "activate" their immigrant visa and then turn around and leave the same day or shortly after to tie up loose ends in their home country before re-entering the US again in a few days / weeks.
I am thinking of doing the same, as i dont want to tie up all loose ends then have issues at the POE. Once approved by the US embassy, is there any chances of the POE causing issues?
-
no yellow envelope will be given with your passport at VAC.
Understood.
Thank you.
How long does it usually take to receive the passport after the interview?
-
passport, visa, sealed yellow envelope and sealed x-ray report
Yellow envelope? would that be given to me by the US embassy?
-
Sure, people do this all the time.
Do you know the procedure for this? or any US government website?
-
At least an hour, I'd think. You'll go through fingerprinting, etc., at your POE
I had POE in Los Angeles. I arrived 30 minutes before estimated arrival time. Security told me that I should wait on a tourist line so even thoug I had yellow sheet, so I did. I don't really remember how long did I stay in line , but there were many people. Maybe 30-45 minutes I waited. When I got to the officer it went smooth, just some questions, fingerprints, photo and welcome in United States so I think it should take around 30-45 minutes depending how many planes will arrive the same time as your. I was at around 3pm
Hi
What sort of documents are needed at the POE?
Thank you.
-
Do i have to stay in the US until i receive my GC or can i come to the US on my immigrant visa, then apply for my GC then go back for 2-3 weeks.
Thank you all.
-
Congrats Mars76! finally your wait is over.
-
I am probably going to change my plans, and just enter the US after winding up all my matter first. I dont want to take a chance of getting stuck outside the country for 2-3 months.
-
To receive the actual card it could take 2 months from the moment beneficiary steps on US soil.
Do you mean 2 months to receive GC for beneficiary
Thanks a lot for the info Arnav..
mars 76..i don't think you can pay the fees at the usconsulate. They will provide you with an information sheet guiding you how to pay the $165 fees online before you enter USA.
Hi all,
Is it possible to leave the country and re-enter after POE and before the GC has been issued?
Does the Visa issued after the Interview guarantee entry into the US as i dont want to wind up from here then find out about some issue at the POE, as i was rejected entry previously.
please help.
Thank you
good luck to all.
-
My interview is scheduled on the 22nd of April, 2014. I am hoping to go to the US for a short trip (about 10-15 days) after the interview then return to my home country to wind up. Would this be possible or is it better if it wind-up before entering the US.
Thank you very much.
