Thanks for your replies. I suspected as much. I wanted to make sure before I start the process of gathering the recommendation letters all over again.

Do I need to provide any proof during the interview stating he is my step son? or the documents between the mother and the son will suffice?
Proof that he is biological son of your wife (birth certificate).

I read this article in Morningstar and felt bad!
More Americans Give Up Citizenship As IRS Gets Aggressive Overseas (http://news.morningstar.com/newsnet/ViewNews.aspx?article=/DJ/201004050814DOWJONESDJONLINE000053_univ.xml)
The number of American citizens and green-card holders severing their ties with the U.S. soared in the latter part of 2009, amid looming U.S. tax increases and a more aggressive posture by the Internal Revenue Service towards Americans living overseas.
According to public records, just over 500 people worldwide renounced U.S. citizenship or permanent residency in the fourth quarter of 2009, the most recent period for which data are available. That is more people than have cut ties with the U.S. during all of 2007, and more than double the total expatriations in 2008.
An Ohio-born entrepreneur, now based in Switzerland, told Dow Jones he is considering turning in his U.S. passport. Mounting U.S. tax and reporting requirements are making potential business partners hesitate to do business with him, he said.
and the story continues................... :mad:

The upside-down "V" shaped branches in the upper left corner are distracting, but could probably be cloned out with a bit of work in PS. The bright leaves in the upper right corner are also distracting, but a bit of burning in could probably make them stand out less. The water is blown out down at the bottom, but that's easy to excuse if you're using a P&S where you don't have much control over the exposure - or even a way to reliably gauge it until the image is on your computer monitor. Overall, the image has potential, and it shouldn't be too hard to fix most of the little issues I see with a bit of time in Photoshop. :)

Hello,
Iam currently on OPT till April 16th 2010. I have been offered a Job in a non profit organization for the position of an accountant. The current rate I will be getting paid is 16$ per hour and the company has agreed to apply for my H1B in March 2010.
The company that I will be working for are totally unaware of the Immigration laws as I will be their first H1B hire. Now according to the department of labour, the minimum hourly salary rate is 19.93$ an hour for an accountant.
If the company appiles for my H1B before april 15th 2010, by when will they have to increase my horuly rate to 19.93 $ ?
Should the increase happen on October 1st 2010 when the H1B kicks in,
or should the increase happen when the H1B gets approved ( between april - october )
or should the company increase my salary to 19.93$ an hour even before we apply for H1B ?
or should the increase in the pay happen on the date of expiry of my OPT, i.e. April 16, 2010
I also know that I am eligible for H1B cap gap (for the period between the expiry of OPT and the date the H1B kicks in).
Hoping for your valuable replies as soon as possible.
Thanks

I just noticed on USCIS website that all 4 of our family's I-485 (myself, wife, 2 children) have new LUD of 4/1/2009.
The message still says "case received and pending" on all cases.
I wonder what it means?
Thanks.
Congrats. It means someone touched your file. Please update the LUD date in the IV tracker

You cannot travel and enter US with expired AP. Please renew your AP. Stamp on AP cannot make any difference as per my knowledge. You will have your I-94 also with same time stamp.
Hi All
My AP document expired in NOv 2008. I traveled to India and got back in Aug 2008. The officer stamped the document and wrote paroled until Aug 2009.
Can I travel on this document?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi All,
I am planning to paper file my wife's EAD renewal and AP for both me and my wife.
Questions:-
1. Can anyone who paper filed recently post information on filing EAD/AP
2. Since my wife filed for I-485 last year and paid $1010 fees,she falls under FEE WAIVER for both EAD and AP-I believe she can renew EAD/AP unlimited till she gets GC?
3. Can someone post what did they do additional for filing as FEE WAIVER?
Any detailed steps on paper filing with FEE WAIVER would be great.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Regards,
everonh1

due to changes in procedures, a lot of the applications are going to the lock box facilities, this is slowing things down (it was actually supposed to make things go faster but we all know USCIS pretty well by now)
I have heard a lot of cases where it's taking about a month to get the receipt.

Dear Friends,
My PD (EB3)is Dec-02. I have gone for Finger Printing twice now.
I see lot of reference to '45 Day letter' in the forum . I have no recollection of receiving the '45 Day ' letter so far.
Am I missing something here?
Can any one of you please explain what this letter is about?
Thanks,
Sreekanth
When the state workforce agencies (DOL's) transfered their applications to the Backlog Reduction Centers (BEC), the BEC sent a 45 days letter to the petitioner and the attorney to confirm if they are still interested in proceeding with the pending labor (some were pending for 4-5 years and they do not want to work on it unless the petitioner is still interested). The BEC gives them 45 days to respond, hence the name.

Hi,
My wife is going to apply for both H4 and H1 visa. Since marriage is in March end, she will come to US on H4 visa. Her H1 visa will be applied as if she were in India. Now her I94 will say H4. Once she gets her H1B, she will have to go out of country to get new I94.
We can go to Mexico to get it stamped and hence get new I94. If for some reason, H1B is rejected, can she still enter the US on H4 visa?
Thanx,
My advice - Bring her in using H4 visa stamped on her passport based on your H1B. The H1, even if she gets (in the 2009 quota which needs to be applied on April 1st 2008) cannot be used before Oct 2008 as all new H1s can be used only from the month of Oct. That H1B approval will come with its I-94 attached. Once October arrives, she can start working on her H1B. She does not need to go anywhere to get it stamped.
When you go out of USA on vacation the next time, she can have her H1B visa stamped on her passport.

Sganny,
It is possible to obtain extended B-2 status based on the need for medical treatment in certain cases. In addition to providing strong documentation of your son's medical needs, you would also need to show that he would not be able to get adequate treatment in your home country. Additionally, you would have to provide documentation to show financial resources sufficient to support your family without having to work in the US.

Congratulations on your marriage.
Depending on where your would be spouse is ,there are two methods.
1. If she is outside the country , you would have to get her H-4 at the nearest consulate.
2. If she is in the country , and assuming you want to change her status to H4 , you can do it by filing the change of status form with USCIS.
Either way I do not think you would be requiring a lawyer. It is pretty straight forward. All the required instructions are on the form.
