Here is what I can advise
1) Get all the supporting documentation that you have for both cases. Example tickets/ citations, fine receipts, any other docs related to the case you can find. make sure you make photo copies of all documents
2) Get a court dispositon documents for both cases to prove that the cases are closed and fine was paid
3) Make sure you run all these documents past your immigration attorney to ensure nothing is missing. Also get in touch with your lawyers that handled the DUI & other case to see if they can help you with paperwork
4) If you are not comfortable defending you case you can take an attorney with you. That is entirely optional thing.
5) No one on this forum or immigration officer has any moral right to tell you what you did was good or bad. Its the job of courts and they have already made you pay fine. So as long as you can furnish all relevant papers that these cases are closed you are fine with your immigration process.
Thanks for the comment!
I've done the entire process on my own untill today. I also did not have any lawyers involved in any of the misdemeanors. I do have documentation of all the cases. All cases are closed and I'm just paying the fines and have to put up with the probation. I spoke to a lawyer (first time I met with him) today and he advise me to pay him $600 to accompany me to the interview.
Any take on the lawyer's advice? Or can I take the challenge on my own?

Whenever the H1 is transferred, H4 also has to be transferred.

My advice place the new approval as a bookmark on the current visa page when presenting the passport at the counter. This almost forces them to consider the new approval, also provide a copy of your I-797. Check the date before leaving the counter and politely ask for it to be corrected if wrong.

I would also like to suggest to display complete heading in the "Recent forum posts" section.
Thanks casinoroyale, this is a good idea. Will make the change to display complete heading in the 'Recent forum posts' when you scroll your mouse on top of the heading of the post of the homepage.

Hi All,
Please let me know, based on your personal experience, Does Change of Address 'triggers' an RFE from USCIS????
I recently found a project (after many months) and am working for this new employer on EAD. However, I have not vacated my old apt....still paying rent and keeping it as my current one, and sharing accommodation with others in the new city where I am working....because of the only reason that I fear, which is an RFE.
Please let me know.
Thanks.
RFE shall not stop you from doing the right thing and as long as you have all the necessary documents and employment. If I were you, I would not hesitate to update my address and pay rent for my old apartment.

Hello,
I am currently on H-1B with AoS pending. My visa stamp has expired (over a year ago) but 797 is valid. My AP has also expired. I am planning to travel to India. Do you recommend renewing my H-1B stamp which is valid for another 1.5 years or renew Advance Parole and travel on that.
Do I need to extend my EAD even if I am on H-1B and would like to stay on H-1B and do I need to extend my wife's EAD at this time. She is currently not working and there is no immediate need. Can I renew it at a later time.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
My first passport was issued on mar 31 1998..with expiration date of 30 mar 2008. I lost this passport and one more (obtained thru tatkal in india) and the latest passport (also issued thru tatkal in india) has issue date of 1 nov 2003 with expiration date of 30 mar 2008 (same expiration date as the original passport).
My question is should i be applying for passport renewal or a new one at Indian consulate SFO (i stay in that jurisdiction)
If renewal, will they just endorse the new expiry date as 30 mar 2018 (i.e will i get back the same passport)?
Pls clarify this?
Regards
New Passport or Renewal depends on your current passport. If there is an "(F)" after the expiry date of your passport, then you will have to apply for a new one. Otherwise you can renew the existing one. Even if you get a new one, the consulate will return the old one - and you can carry both passports if your old one has a valid visa. I am not sure if renewal will result in a new passport copy or if they will just change the date in the existing passport. After coming to the US, I could only apply for a new one as I could not renew my old one (old one was applied for when I was below 18 yrs old). At that time, I carried both my old passport with F1 stamp and new passport untill I got H1 stamped in my new passport. The new passport I got back in 1997 was valid for 20 years (expires in 2017).

I was interviewed in July 2008 at San Jose office and before that in Oct 2005. I went to the San Jose Local office with Infopass Appointment and only disappointment news. When they interviewed and determined it as pending visa number availability it means pre-adjuducated. Now they are saying they have to locate the files and this is 3rd time they are doing this. I lost my cool and fired back at them saying incompetent to work there.
The files are not going back to service center. They will not be kept at the officer room but will be stored in a room somewhere in the office. This is the problem there is no standard process. Think people who got their cases moved to local office are cursed.
Can anyone please tell any other approvals from local office and if so what are the steps they took to get to the approval process. Any tips will really be helpful.

Thank you for information
What if I fall on category EB-3 and not from India and China. Can my employer still file it ? This is because the minimum requirement for this job is a Bachelors Degree even though I do have a masters degree.
Big holler from me! You become EB3 ROW (Rest of the world).
Find another employer who is willing to do an EB2 and you might have EAD in 6-8 months

Thanks . what is I-824 again? and where do we file it too?
hey guys can someone respond please? just to elaborate on my case. My wife's been here in US for the last 4 months. I had applied h-1b for her as consular processing. The approval came with stamping notification for chennai consulate (as at the time her H-1b was applied this year in March, her state of residence was in chennai consulate region).
However in April this year she moved to Mumbai and then to USA. I've heard that you can go to stamping at the consulate region you've been staying for the past 6 months. Since she was at Mumbai for half of the time and then in USA, does it give us liberty to choose Mumbai consulate for stamping instead? Would there be any issues? We are thinking that at the time of interview, if they ask she can let them know she has moved to Mumbai and has her address there now. Would that be okay?
Thanks IV!

Just had a general question. The 797 thats approved for any person, is that for a specific consulate? If we want to go for stamping to another consulate what do we do? Is that a lengthy procedure. Thanks friends.

I am not sure, whether she can continue her studies on F1 without getting stamped. There are conflicting reports all over the web. I have 2 family members who are students and they are in H4. Both wanted to convert to F1 but they were informed that they should get it stamped. I think you get SSN and all those fun stuff in F1 which you don't in H4. Do analyze before you act.

good to hear that it worked out ok in your case!
One Q: how long did it take for USCIS to get back to you with a confirmation that the MTR was accepted? [from the day you requested it]
Well.I did not have to request for confirmation. My attorney received the letter the next day after I received the automated email. The online status for my case still shows as "Denial Notice Sent".:(

Rob,
I was a big fan of PhotoSig when I discovered it about a year ago.. I loved to look through others photos and also share some to have critiqued.. Here's my old user page over there:
My photosig page (http://www.photosig.com/go/users/userphotos?id=38138)
I haven't updated this in about a year. I'd love to see something like that over here.. I just haven't found the galleries as easy to look through as I did over there.. I actually quit going there when they changed the system and the overkill of nudes that were just distasteful.
-- Matt
If every member critiques 5 photos a week, in no time, all photos will have comments.
I don't know about you, but I love comments, good or bad about my photos...
many help me to focus efforts and make better images...
Thoughts??

Go ahead and file 485/EAD etc. EAD approval takes 2-3 months. To be on the safe side, apply for H1 extension also . it is safe to keep H1 till you get your 485 approval.
I thought once your EAD gets approved then you H1 Visa is not longer valid.
You could keep EAD and H1 together active?? Any experts, could you please throw some light?
