Need to travel via British airways. H1b visa is expired and need to get UK transit visa.
Any experiences on the quickest way to get this?
thx
Dont buy air tickets that fly thru UK. Be a dignified India and question why they need a transit visa, when you are not going to set even 1 inch outside the airport.

bsbawa, really.... what were you thinking when you typed this? :)
This is just a humour but has a meaning underneath if you try to understand. I am comparing USCIS to a product selling company. If USCIS was a TV selling company what would happen to the customers the way it acts ?
You could buy a TV but you will not know when you will get it. It could be shipped the next week, the next month, next year or never.
The credit card will be charged once, may be charged twice or a valid CC may get rejected.
Somebody who buys a TV from USCSIS a 2 years after you do, he may get it sooner than you do.
USCIS has no way of knowing how many TVs have been ordered and how many of them are in stock.
In case you do not receive your TV in two years, USCIS acknowledges that there is a long wait time for some and does not do anything about it. USCIS thinks acknowledgment of wait time is more than enough that it has done for the customers. Customers did not deserve this but USCIS did a favour to them being a good "Customer Service" company
There would be an online survey after you buy it which would never get submitted 99% of the times.
In case it did get submitted, somebody will read one out of 10,000.
After reading it he will throw it in the trash can.
If you get a defective TV (which is quite likely), you have a chance to file appeal by paying the same amount of money for the TV again so that your case can be re-opened.
I wonder how many customers would USCIS have eventually ??? Any guesses ??? :-)

Hi guyz,
Bit of addtional information that might be just what was needed to make final call.
I spoke to Fragomen, my Law firm, and they informed me that priority date for filing I 45 (Green Card last stage) is current for Labor applications (EB3) filed in April 2001 and unless something dramatic happens again, things will move at its own pace.
My Labor (in EB3) was filed in March 2003. Estimated time to get GC might be anywhere between 1 year to ... who knows....
I am leaning towards resigning and start it fresh.. wherever...even If it is US fresh H1 will always be there.
Thanks for your help and advises
Regards,
Alp

Thanks Sunny, I have update the original post based on this information.
I got this in advance. But, it does not apply to you as you have a GC and you don't need a Mexican visa.

that is a good guess - I hope it is correct.
However, whether the fees are being used for overtime or for more people working on a case, that means USCIS is understaffed and needs to hire more people. In that case, isn't it logical that they would increase fees across the board for all applications, not just PP? i.e. fee hikes would be for new applications to pay for the extra resources, and existing applications should be processed under a flat fee for all cases.
If they are claiming that those who pay extra fees are entitled to faster processing, ahead of the line, then that, my friend, is a bribe, whatever official term is used. Because otherwise if they were understaffed, which it appears they are, they would simply raise fees for all applications.
I can understand a corporation doing this, like getting your tax refunds processed faster through a company if you pay more, but imagine if IRS suggested they would process faster for an extra fee.
They cannot raise fees without providing extra service. USCIS does raise fees once in while though. But the PP fees bring in a very large amount of revenue in comparison to small increases in regular fees.
Also, for better service, people often pay more. I invariably pay more in an airplane to be in the first class. Not sure why USCIS cannot use that logic to make some more money. I don't think it is comparable to a bribe. But, I guess we will agree to disagree here.

nmdial I dont think the registrar will issue a birth certificate based on affidavit from the parents.
Usually for people who dont have birth registered at birth or hospital records we have to obtain a non-availibility certificate from the local authority. Along with this certificate we submit a notarized affidavit signed by one/both the parents. Now we have learnt that this affidavit has to be signed in the presence of the registrar. Hopefully that should be ok then.
My parents had submitted a notarized affidavit to the registrar (death and birth) of the local municipality and obtained my birth certificate. That was in 2006, the rules may have changed by now.

though I agree there is no grace period however practically USCIS has not been rigid about the dates. MOST of the employers do not inform USCIS about firing of H1b. During dot com bust, USCIS has 'unofficially' said that 15-20 days are good enough (again not as a policy decision but informally). It should be avoided, however it may not be always possible, and having few days gap should not be something on which you make life or death decision.
Yes there is no grace period but INS overlook 3-4 weeks gap after layoff.I have seen lot of cases getting approved, if there were filed in that time period.

When they approve a case then status clearly says 'Case Approved'.
The email "we mailed the document to the applicant" may be anything or nothing, like if they transfer ur case to different service centre, they send a notice. Some time they don't send anything even though the email contradicts it. Keep checking the status, they might update it later if the case has been approved.
Also, for AP keep bugging ur attorney to see if they got it. For EAD, make sure your mail box has your name clearly, otherwise they won't deliver it.
Thanks for the thoughts. My EAD was approved last week and I already got it in mail.
I aske my attorney's office and they say "document mailed" means its approved. I dont know what to make of it, guess I'll just wait to see something in mail.

IV community is noting but you and me. IV is a friend. IV is there to help people.
Folks - one must also realize that talking to administration and getting things dione costs a lot of money through advocacy and IV needs a lot of money.
So please be generous enough to contribute to IV - we need a lot of funds in these times when we really needs help
Completely agreed with Chandu. As recently said by him, we have enough split: H1 vs GC, EB2 vs. EB3. Lets not create one more: Donor vs. Non-Donor.

I say try to get as many shots as possible at your PCP. For TB and HIV tell him that you have been to India lately and want to make sure everything is okay. For other shots tell him that you are considering to apply for a medical/dental school and need to get vaccination records, which you don't have because everything was done in India. Take all those proof to immegration doctor, he will accept those records.
My wife in fact joined dental school last year. She needed only HIV.
You can ask PCP to give all the shots as part of yearly physical or mention that your immunizations are not current and you need those shots to be current.

I made a one time contribution myself but I have a feeling that IV is going away from the goal of increasing EB visas and just focusing on the 485 filing.Many people that have contributed earlier feel that by prioritizing the 485 filing over increase of EB visas, IV has gone away from atleast some of stakeholders .The stakeholders were promised initially that increase of EB visas would be a top priority or atleast on a even keel with any other objectives, but now we are in phased approach.I have talked to lot of people and the feeling is same.

With mush ballyhoo, the Nikon D2H hit the streets not too long ago. It was approximately two years in the making, and seemed to counter the 1D for Nikon users. The Canon 1D Mark II (on paper) , seems to be a very significant improvement to the 1D, and jettisons again past the D2H. How confident can Nikon users be that Nikon can maintain pace in the professional DSLR arena?

But Pope I thought 4 MP is all PJ's want ;)
Actual daily press and wire service photographers will undoubtly use 4mp. You may not be aware, but all the goreous 2 column color shots you see on USA Today etc. are printed from files that are usually 700k - 800k. There are heavily compressed for transmitting. All the wires do that. They don't get full files. The most attractive things to me are the high ISO performance, the ability to customize colorspace amd I'm anxious to test the new autofocus capabilities. The 8 mp is a plus for shooting for a mag or other output. Even at that, I've had 1D shots as a glossey mag color that looked great. One advantage higher megapixels give a sportshooter is for sports like football. Due to the size of the field, the ability to crop more gives you more field coverage. But then the question is will you have enough time to work with files that are twice the size. I'm sure that's why Canon listened and gave us 4 MP as an option.
