I got my visa stamping from mumbai conuslate. Its pretty easy. Take an appointment through VFS by getting a HDFC bank receipt after paying the fee. Check on the VFS site when is the available date. and then follow the link and book the appointment. You will get forms which are populated. If you have any mistakes in the form i think you can correct it at the mumbai consulate too. When you enter the consulate they will hand you the original form which you filled and then ask you to fill whatever you had missed out using your pen. you have to wait till your number calls out and then you get visa stamped and passport posted.

"US Masters degree has no value anymore. Don't pursue a masters degree from US . You won't be able to find a job due to protectionist agends of US law makers.. Take your money somewhere less.Foreigners won't get jobs in USA "
Let us make atleast Indians run from Higer education industry of America and colleges will feel the heat as 50% of them have revenue stream out of foreign students. This will make these clown senators o understand the repercussions of protectionism.
If we can print an article in any leading daily in India, I am sure lots of other papers will pick up the same story.

Hi Stirfries
I have asked about whether I need to wait for the AP, but my lawyers have said I have to wait until the fingerprinting is done and I have the travel document before I leave..!!! Maybe I need to ring the immigration department again and confirm once again. I keep getting different information from different people..!!
Thanks for your response, there might be light at the end of the tunnel..!!!
I hear ya !!! End of the day, you alone is responsible for your action !!! :) I know how difficult it is, when you get different information from different people !
In my case, whatever information that I am giving you, is not based on hearsay. It's actually my personal experience. My spouse was supposed to leave the country in November 2009 and I got in touch with my Immigration attorney and this what he had to say...
Dear XXXXX -
1. The USCIS will take approximately 75 days to process the AP document. He/She must be present in the US when the AP document is filed. He/She can travel internationally while his/her AP extension is pending.
Ofcouse with the caveat that, that the person who is travelling internationally cannot enter into USA without a valid AP document. In our case, my spouse applied for her AP extension while in the country, and then she left the country. I received the approval sometime on December, 2009 and I mailed her the AP document and using the AP document that I mailed, she re-entered the country.
Ofcourse, you can say, I got lucky !!! May be, what I did was against the rules...May be, my attorney is an idiot and didn't know what he was talking about !!! :)
Like I said, End of the day, you would have to make an informed decision coz you alone is responsible for your actions !!! I hope this information helps you make the right & safe decision !!!
Good Luck !!!

NumbersUSA just says that S.9 is similar to S.2611, which died last year. I don't think NumbersUSA has the text for S.9. From NumbersUSA
"NumbersUSA believes that this is a �shell� bill, which, at some point, will be amended to include language very similar to that which the Senate passed in 2006 [S. 2611]."

I hope they resolve it promptly. Secondly, you can also try contact ACLU and get their consultation on this issue stating excessive harassment of legal immigrant. I have heard of few cases where they helped big time though they were asylum cases.

Hello all,
is it normal for someone to get their EAD approved before the AP. I just got my EAD approved yesterday and my wife got hers approved today. However, out AP applications are not approved yet.
I have some co workers who got their EAD and AP approved on the same day.
so just wondering if there could be something wrong or is this normal.
Our cases are in Texas.
Thanks!

Thx for response.
I understand I need a job for H1 extension, but what I am asking is if we need W2 for H1 extension. Any one?
You might need it.....you might not..When it comes to USCIS even God will not be able to predict. They might issue an RFE, might not. However, if you are with a bodyshopper and in IT I believe its common nowadays for USCIS to ask for 2 years W2s and recent paystubs to make sure you have maintained H1b Status.
6+ months without paystubs - you should be ready to explain if they ask. I empathize with your situation. Running payroll taxes for an entire year is crazy...approx 20k..not to mention "ILLEGAL". My suggestion - try and find a project asap. Do what you think needs to be done.......Dont loose sleep over something you cannot predict. Everyone needs a break and you might get yours sooner than you think. Hang on..........ATB.

Per RFE for I485 they want the proof of Employment Authorization in US starting 12th April 2004 to present.
I was going thru my all the I-797 approvals for myself and I found that there is a discontinuity in one of the old approval notice.
WAC-01-XXX-XXXXX 07/15/2001 - 04/05/2004
WAC-04- XXX-XXXXX 04/30/2004 - 01/18/2005 (This approval start after 25 days)
But the extension petition was filed prior to expiration of WAC-01-XXX-XXXXX on 17th Dec. 2003. Approval notice has the receive date of 17th Dec 2003.
Could this gap be a issue, That is why they are asking starting 12th April 2004?
Per my Lawyer, no need to worry because the extension petition was filed before the expiration of other.
Please advice.

You should be fine as the extension was filed in advance. Was your second H1 approved on 04/30/2004....That possibly could be one of the reasons it started on 04/30.....

Having 3 years EAD/AP and ability to refile AOS (in the worst case) is the best workable solution to an economic turndown and lay-off. Having a recapture done will also help many

So my status doesnt change until my I 485 is approved- any idea how long that will take? My H 1B expires in Nov of 2007 should I get an extension? Thank you for your replies- Lisa
If your I-485 is pending, you need to apply for H1b extension and it will be for one year increment.

hello dears.
a lot of desi consultants are made to pay for h1 and gc costs. especially in NJ by the "Jersey boys".
i am also in the situation where if i quit i'll have to pay the company all the costs of the GC. some of you have also paid the company for h1 costs.
i asked an immigration lawyer about this.
this practice is illegal and basically to intimidate you.
the company got you here justifying your presence as being good for business (the said they could not find your skillset here). and they are taking tax deductions on this spending.
since they got you here for their good (we know that!), they have to bear all these costs. if they ask you to bear it, it is illegal and they are commiting immigration and labour fraud.
http://www.hammondlawfirm.com/FeesArticle07.18.2006.pdf
"Deduction of attorney�s fees associated with the filing of the LCA or H-1B and the Base Fee (or I-129 Fee) are considered to be unauthorized. These fees are considered to be the employer�s business expenses and, for this reason, are not authorized deductions."

I live near Ahmedabad so I ask my parents to travel to Ahmedabad and submit it at Ahmedabad VFS office. VFS has offices in certain cities (lookup the website) and will accept your papers there. I hate the fact that you cannot directly mail your papers to the Mumbai consulate from USA. If your family is in Mumbai, they should be able to submit it in person to VFS.
VFS also has an email address on their website if you want to ask them questions. They are pretty good at responding.
So can I submit the docs through my family .. now and just go for the final interview?
This way I can go to the embassy the day I land in Mumbai.
