Hello Friends,
My current passport is expiring in Jun 07. I have applied for passport renewal at Indian Embassy (Washington D.C.) in 3rd week of Jan 07 via courier. I may have to travel urgently to India by end of this month. Just wondering if anyone recently got their passport renewed at DC and what was the duration. It will help me to take the decision about departure date. Unfortunately DC is 5 hours drive from where I live. I am not sure even if take a day off and drive to DC to collect the passport they will even give it to me on the same day. Multiple attempts to contact DC office via phone/email were not helpful. No one picks the phone and their voice mail system is always full. Any advise on what I should to do know status of my passport renewal would be appreciated.
Thank you,
------------------------
P.S : Yes, I have contributed to IV :)
You should use Tatkal scheme. I paid extra 90$ and got the passport within 2 days. Its worth.
Thanks.

I have read this document as well before. That is one of my reason I wanted an explaination where interim EAD was terminated. Thanks
Hi
This is what is mentioned on the I-765 form.
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765.pdf
Check page number 9. It speaks about Interim EAD, and this document expires on 08/31/08. If they have stopped issuing Interim EADs how come it says the opposite on this document. Just wondering:confused:

Congrats gccube !!
I was following your posts. Your case profile is very similar to mine as can be seen in my signature (Actually my PD is couple of months earlier than yours !! But my RD at NSC is later than yours at TSC)
I am hoping I will hear good news soon as well.

I did a lot of research and found very little information on an established process of "firing" one's attorney and moving to self-represent the I485 application. Most resources talk about submitting a new G-28 form from a new attorney. What if I don't want an attorney to represent me anymore? is there a form for that?
Anyone??

Her 485 has been filed FOUR years ago sir.
She is NOT in H4 status anymore the day your I-485 is approved.
She has 180 days (from your approval date) to file I-485 application, otherwise she has to do follow-to-join CP at consulate abroad.
Consult a good attorney asap.

burden is not on you, but if your PD is current, your FPs are expired, then they are not gonna approve GC without having new FPs. And if they are not sending the FP notice, wouldn't you take effort to do something about it?
In this case is it not their duty to send FP notice and reason for not approval delay?? Its really a crazy situation esp during one's PD current and visa's available before its U or retrogresses...:( Damn CIS..

I do not think, number of employees matter. I work for a desi company and it has just 2 employees. Labor was breeze and 140 got approved in 4 weeks. Never got any RFE. However, I was in EB-3 despite having 4 years bachelor's degree and 5+ years of experience.
What EndlessWait meant was, more the number of employees in a small company, the chances of RFE with ability to pay will be higher...

Unless you're feeling seriously hampered by your set of lenses right now, and you're planning on spending some dollars on new lenses, I'd stick with what you have at the moment, and only upgrade when you actually see a need to do so, rather than "better do it before it's too late".
Yes, if you have advanced plans on buying more lenses, then I would consider upgrading the camera as well - before you have such a huge collection that you can't feasibly afford to change brands.
I would also very seriously consider the fact that Canon has undeniably the best select of lenses, and most people (except some Nikon fanatics) would probably also agree that the Canon lenses are optically better than the Nikon equivalents [although there are many factors here, some of which are based on personal experience, some are probably depending on whether you get a "good copy" or "bad copy", etc, etc].
Flash memory (SD or CF) isn't very expensive these days, so unless you have several gigabytes of it, you probably need not really worry about that so much when it comes to choosing your next generation camera.
I have to admit, however, that the Nikon D80 has a very tempting price and feature combination. I'm sure it's a really good camera.
Finally, although I'm somewhat of a Canon fan, my latest camera purchase was a Nikon - a small Coolpix 7600 so that me and my wife can carry an unobtrusive camera when need be. Carrying a EOS 10D around is a little bit more noticable...

I am EB3-India with PD July-2005. On 3/10/2009 USCIS issued an RFE. It is about job verification/continuation. USCIS wants my employer to verify that future job is still available.
My paralegal said and I quote, USCIS is issuing this kind of RFE on almost every case. Present economic situation might be the main reason behind it.
