I went for an Infopass appointment at the Boston USCIS District Office today. My wife's case status had suddenly changed to "On November 5, 2007 a notice was returned to us undeliverable..." on Jan 7, and we wanted to find out what was going on (the national customer service was of no help at all when we called). Our appointment was at 8.15 AM; we arrived at the JFK Building (Government Center) at 8 AM, went through the standard federal security (very much like an airport) to the USCIS suite. There was hardly anybody waiting in line. The officer at the door checked our appointment notice, and gave us a ticket number, and asked us to take a seat and wait for our number to be called. The arrangment there is like the social security office...there are service counters, and a waiting area in front where you sit and wait to be called.
When our number was called, we walked up to the counter, and the agent greeted us and asked us to present our appointment letter and an ID. She then asked us the purpose of our visit. I explained to her how the status on my wife's pending I-485 had changed to "Notice returned undeliverable", and we were concerned about a missed deadline. She asked for the I-485 receipt notice, then proceeded to look for information on her computer. She repeated our mailing address that was in the system, and asked us to confirm that it was correct. She then printed out something, and told us she'll be right back. I guess she went to see her supervisor for some help (she appeared to be new). After about 5-7 minutes, she came back and told us that she couldn't see what the notice was that was returned, but everything looked ok on my wife's case. She told us (without our asking) that her name check was cleared, and so was her fingerprint search. She said that the case was assigned to an officer, and it was last updated on Jan 7.
Although the agent could still not tell us what was returned undeliverable, she pretty much cleared our doubt that a biometrics appoinmtment or something else was pending. She also confirmed that the name check was cleared.
Our infopass experience at the Boston office was pleasant and fruitful. I think one should try to go early, as there is less crowd, and agents are willing to spend more time answering your questions.

Hi
I am going to apply for i-485,
i have birth certificate which is taken in 2005 but I was born in 1974
some of my friends are saying...as you are born in 1974 and as your
birth certificate was taken in yr 2005, it might cause problems (ins poseses query)
to get the green card.
Is it right?
They are saying me to get Affidivits + non availability certificate now.
will it be a problem if I put my birth certificate....while applying for 485
thanks

My advise is to get a Non-availability of birth certificate because an RFE is the last thing you wanna see. My wife tried Allied Legal, India to get Non-availability of birth certificate for her parents. you can try them. They are the immigration attorneys in USA.

I don't see a reason why premium processing will lead to rejection. Certainly that is not the case with H-1B. Infact 2-3 years back H-1B premium processing had 0.5% higher approval rate than regular H-1B.

PD has nothing to do with EAD processing. They're not linked.
There is no Priority Date on my I-485 receipt notice. Is that a problem?

Hello,
I am here on a H1B visa and my wife is on a H4 Visa. She has recently been admitted to a masters program and would start going to school soon.
1. We want to get a F1 visa for her, so that she can get paid for some work in the campus. Would it be possible to get the F1 visa in Canada. Does anyone have any recent experience on getting this done ?
2. Say we not apply for a visa but only apply for a change of status and do not even go to India or anywhere else before the completion of her program. After that she would go on an OPT. If we go to India then, would it not be a problem in getting a F-1 visa, as her education would already be complete. Does it mean that she should get her visa stamped before she completes her education.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Let that Champagne sit in the chiller for while. These numbers are a blip on the RADAR. Don;t expect some real job creation 'tll 2011 (or later). The private sector has to start spending and creating wealth. Government spending never causes any growth. We have all seen what Indian economy was like, in early 1990's and before that, with Government runnig it.
Key to robust growth is a healthy private sector.

1. Will your company keep your 140 alive? Meaning, will they withdraw it - I know a lot has been said about 140 PD being yours once approved and blah blah, but no one seems to report that they have successfully ported their 140 date to a new 140 application. This is strange but true. So I will make it doubly sure with my company.
2. Uscis might ask why your company is sponsoring two 140s for the same individual - your company should be prepared to answer that. This is exactly why my company refuses to reapply for the GC process for the same individual (it really raises a question of intent). Again, can be done, but needs full support from company
Rest should be ok.

Hi to all,
I met with a potential client who is an illegal immigrant living in the US. She has a child who is a US citizen. The father was voluntarily deported and the mother gave him permission to take the child back to their home country to visit the grandparents. The father was supposed to make sure the child returned to the US within 3 months. It has been 6 months. If my client files an application under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, will the US Government begin deportation proceedings?

There is no special provisions for people living in Haiti to get a visa to come here sooner. You will need to file the regular route. What is your immigration status? You can sponsor your mother only if you are US citizen.

Here is some genuine feedback about USCIS customer service:
1. NCSC is unable to provide any inputs on the actual problem... this becomes a bottleneck.
2. Once an SR is created, no further SR can be created for 30 or 45 days...If you really got to know of an issue with your case from an SR that was first created, how and why is their this expectation that you need to wait for 30 days before which you can get back to USCIS for resolving that problem.
3. NO consistency in the answers provided by USCIS... I had an Infopass, call to NCSC and call to NSC within the span of one hour on the same day... The answers i got to the same question was completely different and completely off in some cases... How can candidates continue to wait and work patiently with USCIS if this continues?
4. Infopass appointment does not seem to help... I go and tell the officer about a problem and the officer says not a problem and just wait... the next time i talk to NSC, they tell me to follow up with an infopass.
Please highlight these points in the session in a constructive manner as a means to improve cusotmer service.

Hello
I came to us on h4 visa . after comming here i joined a university and applied for change of status to f1 and it is approved. I am planning a trip to india. do i need to go to indian consulate for f1 visa? if i have to go wat r the chances of rejecting f1 visa? if my f1 visa gets rejected can i come back on h4 visa? is my h4 visa valid? or do i need to apply for h4 visa again? and if i apply wat r the chances of approval ? please help me i am in a tough situation. please i need ur advise. thank u :)
Since your spouse is in US on H1, do you know if she/he filed for his I-140/I-485. If so, there are chances that your F-1 visa can be rejected on the grounds of "potential immigrant" even though your I-485 is not filed. F-1 can be rejected because your spouse has shown immigrant intent which means you could be a potential immigrant as well.
Otherwise, if you have all the documents (educational background from accredited university, bank statements, valid I-20), you should get your F-1 visa without any issues. If for some reason its denied, then you can use your current valid H4 visa to re-enter US on H4. In that case, you will again roll back to H4 status upon re-entry.

Very shallow DOF is a factor of Macro photography. Use the smallest f-stop you can and focus on the nearest plane. Experimentation is pretty much a necessity with Macro work.
