If you have been in the US for more than 1 year, you are a resident of the US and not any particular state in India. You are free to go to any Consulate in India. Even though I was previously a resident of AP, I have been able to get successful stamping in New Delhi.

When i heard that little girls question (recorded version in NPR news this morning) and michelle's response of "well, i guess your mom should have 'proper' documents" sounds very interesting. Does she imply that she is not happy to face that question or does she say in a subtle manner that illegals should not be here ?
One more thing to note is that in Maryland, schools "do not" check legal status of children's parents during school admissions.but isn't that atleast an utility bill or rental contract is required as proof of residence? then in that case, how the systems are working here ?
On the other hand, one of my close friend ( 11th year in this country with H1B extension in pending) can not get a driver license despite the fact he is a tax payer, his status is absolutely legal, bought a home few years back, working for a real company, but just can not get his driver's license in Missouri.
What a shame?
In an extraordinary exchange at an event that is usually just a photo op, First Lady Michelle Obama fielded a question from a second grader that really reminds us of the fact that the millions of people in the US working without status today are real people with real families. While the antis choose to dehumanize these folks by portraying them as criminals and parasites, this little girl reminds us that we're talking about people who are faced with terrible choices in life - living in utter poverty in an unstable homeland or living in the shadows in a wealthy...

if you have applied in NSC, if you are not pushing it to move (through expedite SR or through local congressman etc), prepare to wait for close 120+ days. I am not kidding.
How long is it taking now a days to get AP approval. I am from TX and e-filed on 2nd Oct (ND 4th OCT 2010) and want to know when I can expect the approval.

Your mother must rely on the I-94 and file an extension if she wants to stay more than 3 months. The extension can be filed any time before the I-94 expires.

For members doing the Calculations..............
According to DHS | CIS Ombudsman Updates:
During FY 2009 and FY 2010, usage of family-based visas has been exceptionally low, especially among spouses and children of green card holders (the F-2A preference category). In FY 2009, approximately 10,000 family-based visas were unused and, by statute, were reallocated for use by employment-based immigrants in FY 2010.
Given FY 2009 underutilization of family-based visas, the CIS Ombudsman has worked alongside United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Department of State (DOS) to monitor family-based visa usage in FY 2010. To enable more family-based visa applicants to become eligible for final processing, the Visa Bulletin cut-off dates have been accelerating significantly. Despite the fact that more family members are becoming eligible, demand for family-based visas remains weak. While efforts are underway to facilitate maximum utilization, a significant number of family-based visas may again go unused in FY 2010.

how we applied for expedite advance parole thru the phone - VisaJourney.com (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=177190)
I used these instructions to expedite my wife's AP based on "medical emergency". USCIS did not send me letter asking for evidence of emergency, instead just approved the case the next day. I had taken infopass appt but cancelled it when i saw approval email. some people who went to infopass have been told that AP cannot be expedited at local office and must be done by phone.
File at : Texas Service Center
Method: Paper based
Filed on : 7/24/09
Received by USCIS : 7/27/09
Receipt notice date: 7/28/09
Called USCIS to expedite: 8/10/09
Approval email : 8/11/09
Received approved AP by mail : 8/14/09
-Basically have all info ready (ap receipt notice #, A#, 485 receipt notice #, SSN, date of birth, email address etc).
- If this is your wife's case, have her in the conference as USCIS will not talk to you without her permission.
-Call the ph # on the receipt notice and follow the prompts
-Let the CS rep complete his/her script, and politely answer his/her questions.
-Rep will enter service request in the system and give you a conf # (which i don't know how to use, status is checked by receipt #).
-Rep will say you will receive letter from USCIS within 5 business days, asking to fax/mail the evidence of emergency. be prepared to fax the evidence as soon as you receive letter OR EMAIL. yes they may send you email the second day which is actually better/faster.
*** You may or may not receive the letter from USCIS asking for evidence, in case you don't get one, you may simply receive approval.
Hope this helps anyone looking to expedite AP.

Hi attorney,
I know the question sounds weird.
My husband applied EB2 in 2007. 140 approved and 485 pending. But then we came back to our home country because of layoff. We carried AP but now AP is expiring in 3 weeks. I know after AP goes expired, our 485 will be considered abandoned.
I heard that PD is still ours even in the case of abandonment of 485. So, I still hope that some day we can come back to US to re-do the green card application. My question is, once PD becomes current, how long will the window to submit 485 be open for us?
Thanks.
Jijie
In order to preserve the PD, you will require a copy of your approved 140. Do you have the copy - in that case, next time you will have to file labor and at 140 stage, you can get your PD back.

As a California immigration lawyer who files many asylum cases, I am used to thinking of a the United States as a place of refuge and to documenting the horrible country conditions of other countries. I have successfully represented applicants for asylum who feared staying in their countries because while serving in their countries' armies, they were harmed on account of their sexual orientation.
It is therefore rather surprising to come across a story of a U.S.soldier who is fleeing to Canada (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/11/20/refugee-board-soldier-lesbian.html) because she fears harm in the U.S. Army on account of her sexual orientation. According to CBC news, U.S. Army Pte. Bethany Smith fled Canada in September 2007 from a U.S. Army base in Fort Campbell, Ky. She applied for refugee status in October 2007, saying that she was harassed and threatened by fellow soldiers over her sexual orientation and feared that her life would be in danger if she were deported and returned to the army. The Canadian authorities initially rejected in her claim in February 2009. However, on appeal, the Federal Court of Canada held that the refugee board must reconsider the case again because the Board made several mistakes in initially reviewing her claim.
The Federal Court's decision (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Smith%20and%20the%20Minister%20of%20Citizenship%20 and%20Immigration.pdf)noted that the refugee board failed to fully consider the evidence pertaining to the situation of gays and lesbians in the U.S. Army to determine whether Pte. Smith could have availed herself of protection in the United States. The Federal Court also noted that the Board failed to determine whether Pte. Smith would be persecuted on account of her social group - as a lesbian in the U.S. Army if forced to return. There were other errors mentioned in the decision.
It is sad that the U.S. policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," is the basis of an asylum claim in Canada. Pt. Smith was only 19 years old when she fled to Canada. From everything I read, it appears that she wanted to serve in the U.S. Army and no real desire to leave the United States. At a time when we apparently need people to serve in the Armed Forces and in fact give non-citizens a way to immigrate to the United States faster for their service, it seems ridiculous that an American citizen should have to leave. It it is time to eliminate the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

I just got off the phone with a second level rep at USCIS and am getting really confused with their mixed messaged. before i push any panic buttons can some one please let me know if they had any conversations with the idiotic bunch at uscis and share your conversations with regards to the visa availability for next month. this idiot states that vsc just oversubscribed and that it could be that there wont be any movement on the cases. all this over enthusiasm for nothing - that would really infuriate me. there is a limit to the fuss they can cause and play with emotions.
Did he say vsc(vermont service center) ?
is vsc still processing 485 cases?
