Did you try the walk-in option. Some offices have walk-in option and they do let you in without a Infopass appointment. And also since you think that your case is so serious , did you try to talk the security person explaining him the situation that you are not able to book an appointment for Infopass and let you in for walk-in appointment.
Local offices are usually accomodating if there is a genuine issue.
thanks, i will give a try for this option i did not knew that....thanks again..

Can you please help me with this?...I have already submitted the affidavit copy and now they want it from Registrar office. Has any one got it from registrar office in India? if so, how difficult it is and what is the procedure?
"A photocopy of a birth certificate issued by the Local Registrar if the person named above was born in a city, or
A photocopy of a birth certificate issued by the Additional District Registrar�s office if the person named above was born in a village.
If a birth certificate does not list the names of both mother and father, or the child, secondary evidence must be submitted to establish parentage. Secondary evidence includes, but is not limited to , copies of: medical records, school records, census records, government-issues identity cards, religious records and/or affidavits from at least TWO persons alive at the time of birth. The oldest available evidence that lists the names of both parents should be submitted."
Thank you!
Instead of wasting time of forums, just ask your Dad/Mom/Uncle to approach the nearest Taluk office / District Registrar's office, there are tons of agents sitting outside to provide information and even get the work done.
You can use certain documents to get it properly registered and get a valid birth certificate, if your old ones does not have names.
But, the above mentioned work requires some "serious efforts of a local person" by hitting several doors within a week time, forums in internet won't help you.
Since you don't have enough time, I would not recommend to go thru any "internet" based agencies for this work.
If you have to 'pay' for the valid & legal certificate, go for it. But any illegal document(even if you are not aware of it) will just screw up your GC processing in US.

There is a very clear distinction b/n Legal and illegal immigrants. He loves chinese food, indian food. He never says he does not like other cultures. What he says is that others come into this country and try to claim that it is their own country and start doing things the way they want to do. But legal immigrants for the most part are different they come here and play by the rules. they speak english, they love america and that is the reason they stay here. I think it is very important to talk to him and see what his stand is on this. It does not hurt. It is tough to get thru' to talk to him and hence I posted the message here so that others can also try and may be one of us will get to talk to the guy. If we just stick to the IV talking points and tell him we love america and of course are english speaking ( we are definitely not lying) he will be fine.
I would not recomen contacting Mr Savage. He does not appear to be the person that would help our cause.
He is openly anti-latino, openly calls for burning of mexican flag etc..
why do you think he would support legal immigration?

Can you we go on a cruise to Bahamas?
Also do Indian citizens need visa to Bahamas cruise?
Thanks in advance
I went through this process couple of years back,,,,(not sure if the laws are still the same)
Yes. Indian Citizens need a Bahamas visa to travel (Cruise) to Bahamas.
A Person needs a Valid US Visa or AP to enter back into US.
I went with a valid US Visa. I dropped my old I-94 while leaving US and received a new I-94 while entering US port (in Cruise).
Enjoy your trip to Bahamas!

That's very correct. But I think AILA or concerned folks like us should ask USCIS to clarify their stand on it. I am sure they will do it soon.
Also, an approved extsnsion with the new employer is by no means a approval of your valid status. Simply speaking, there are various H1B approvals granted "that were approvable at the time of application". This doesn't mean that status is valid for the entire duration, one has to maintain the status by keeping the job etc and meeting the other requirements of approved H1B petition. That's true for extensions too it MIGHT be valid/approvable at the time of filling when your I-140 was approved and not revoked. If revoked you could be potentially out of status if indeed that was the CONDITION of the approval.
Unless we know that CONDITION of approval (it could be unconditional approval too but it must be stated) we are not sure. If the USCIS later clarifies that CONDITION it could be applied retroactively and that means one is out of status during the whole time after the I-140 was revoked.
I am not saying this will happen but it is essential to find out the CONDITION of apporval whatever it may be.
The USCIS has not taken any official position on whether they would allow the after I-140 3-year extension to be transferred to another employer.
Using this loophole looks like many of us have actually sucessfully tranferred the H1B to a new employer after the 6 year limit..
As long as USCIS does not release any regulations...We can do this ....
If asked officialy some attorneys say that it cannot be done and some are fine with that...
Immigration laws are kind of applied sporadically and can be pushed to a certain extent

I think the reason is little bit of everything.
1. We are a very small group.
2. We are doing white collar jobs which they are affraid we are stealing
from their sons and daughters (compare that with the toilet cleaners)
3. We get No sympathy from any side. Reason: we earn lot of money (at least
thats what they think)
4. Our issues are complex. Not many people understand retrogression
or H1B restrictions (compare that with "Hiding in the shadows" argument)

Thanks for the info. I still have a few doubts.
For 1. I will be having the marriage certificate at the time of filing, which will be in July. That time my spouse will be in India, as she will apply for her H4 and then come (latest by August). What I wanted to know is that if my PD is NOV 2006, doesn't that make me current. I know people are saying that visa numbers may not be availabe in Sep, but if all PD are current till June 2007, and if my wife will get my PD, what difference does it make if she files in Aug or Dec 2007. What will happen in Dec that will not let her file I-485. I am meeting my attorney next week, but with the pathetic interview scheduling system, it would be good to know so I can get an earlier date for her.
The priority dates are current right now and anybody with approved labor can file 485 (concurrently with 140 if that is not approved/filed). Your priority date is Nov 06, so you can file now, but by the time your spouse is in US, the dates may retrogress (for example, lets say for discussion sakes - Jan 06). In that case, if the dates eligible for filing are before Nov 06, your wife will need to wait till the date becomes Nov 06 again. Hope this clarifies some of your questions.
I am in the same situation and trying to figure out the best way possible. Please let me know if you or anyone finds anything relevant. Thanks guys, this is a very good forum!!

But again as I mentioned before, if US has shortage of skilled workers, they can fulfill the shortage within few months. If we all go, another batch of temporary workers can be brought in without any loses, that too in few months (On some different VISA if H1 B is abolished), so I don�t see any economic impact on the country like people say �US Economy will go down if there is no H1 B visa�
It is not that hard to imagine at all.
500K h1b holders having $60K jobs (on average) means $30 billion to the US economy. That is only .002% of US GDP but that is still a *lot* of money.
Remember the Swift meat packing plant raids. They cost Swift $45-50M they claim. That is greater than the wages of the workers rounded up. Probably around double. If IBM started feeling that hurt, they'd be summoning their representatives to their offices.

Dhundhun,
I hold high regard for your postings...but in the 765 manual, I could not find any such rule that you just mentioned..Here is an excerpt from Pg 9 of
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf
If your response to Question 16 is (c)(9) ....
Otherwise, if you filed your I-485 adjustment application with
a USCIS Service Center, you must file Form I-765 at the
Nebraska Service Center or the Texas Service Center,
depending on where you live (see the following addresses)......
Are you sure ?? :confused:
I have recently moved from Ohio to Pennsylvania and am about to file for renewal. Thanks....
Sorry to hear that case is gone to wrong office. The (c)(9)() class of EAD filing instruction is that it must be sent where I485 is being processed.
During infopass visit, officer must have given some clue.
If I were you, I would be sending the supporting documents with a covering letter stating the blunder. This type of mistake should not be uncommon to USCIS offices and they should have procedures to fix it.

Thanks
Are you kidding me???????!!!!! $32,000 for 22 ??? So, per person the Attorney charges is:
32000/22 = $1454.54
Which attorney is charging that much to file for H1??
I had to edit it...since 6 of them got the H1...so, its 22 -6 = 16
32,000/16 = $2000.00 (attorney fees) I don't believe you!!! Mr Desi Company Owner.

ofcourse she cannot change her status until oct 1st. How ever the sluice gates for the new h1 quota open on Apr 1st and will be gone in days. My question is Does she need her H4 approved to have her prospective employer file the I 129? (or) Can she just provide the notice of action she received for her H4 extension filing to show that she is maintaining status?
I also want to know the same...
Please, anyone??

#1. Schools can have policies. For example, some schools don't allow higher education on H4 Visa.
#2. As AOS pending based on spouse, one can engage in studies (full time or part time). Also, one can do job full time or part time (if EAD is applied for). As far as immegration (USCIS) is concerned, there should not be any problem
#3. I am not sure, whether the school in question allows studies while AOS is pending. I think it does not, so they are asking to take Full Time F1.
Usually people sitting on counter may not know entire detail. You may have to ask senior staff.
I have been is situations, where INS explained me that Schools can have their own policies and that don't dictate it.
