On June 1, 2009, new document requirements go into effect at land and sea ports for entry into the United States. Pursuant to the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative ("WHTI") an individual may show one of the following documents in order to be admitted into the United States:
U.S. or Canadian passport;
Trusted Traveler Card (Nexus, Sentri, or Fast/Express);
U.S. passport card;
State or province issued enhanced driver's license.
California does not issue "enhanced driver's licenses." (Enhanced driver's licenses contain multiple levels of security features.) It is no longer possible after June 1, to travel to Canada and expect to return with just a California driver's license. You must therefore have proof of citizenship as indicated above or proof of lawful permanent residence (i.e., "green card"), or proof of some other kind of non-immigrant status in order to be able to return to the United States.
For more information about the document requirements, please see my previous post on "Free travel widget helps plan trips abroad and return to the United States (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/2008/10/free_travel_widget_helps_plan_1.html)." You may also go the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (http://www.getyouhome.gov/html/eng_map.html) website on WHTI to obtain further information.

LUD = somebody 'looked' at your case for something ...
On the positive side it means that the app is not lost
Suppose I call the USCIS Phone service 1-800 number, then will it show as LUD?

Dear Sir/Madam,
I married to a US citizen and got conditional permanent residency which is subject to be removed after 2 years. I have been a student at a university, and while an application for permanent residency I had to show/combine my income (student teaching/research assistantship) in I-864 because my spouse's income was not sufficient to sponsor me. In form I-864 instructions it says, "Intending immigrant is your spouse, his/her income can be used to combine with your income if his/her income will continue from the same source after receiving lawful permanent residency." Now, my question is that I have an offer of admission from other school, and this new school will pay me student teaching/research assistantship, can I leave my current school and join the new one? If not, how long I have to wait in order to have right to change my school?
Secondly, can my spouse leave her job and sit idle? I ask this because my spouse sponsored me in I-864, and I wonder until when she is supposed to continue her current job!
Please advise me your best to help me with my doubts. I will be obliged!

YES! EAD is your license to work for any company, even for those not sponsoring you. It doesn't matter if your i140 is approved or not, you can work with EAD and that is legal.

My friend's on her 6th year H1B and it will expire on Sept 10, 2010. A PERM labor was filed and the Labor went into an audit, responses were sent immediately.
If she transfer her H1B to new company.
1. Can she ask for 1 year extension based on her pending labor ? Does she need to wait till the labor gets approved ?
2. Can she use Premium Processing for H1 transfer?

Today, I received an email from USCIS that my EAD application got approved. My receipt date is on the 3rd week of May of 2007. What I don't understand is that the current processing time at NSC for I-765(EAD) for pending I-485 is March 26th, 2007.....

Hi ALL,
I'm a newbie in the forum and i need help from all regarding the below issue i have.
I'm a F1 student and presently working as a Software Engineer.I have been on OPT from January 2010 and i have recently got an extension for another 17 months which is a total of 29 months of OPT from January 2010 till June 2012, My main question was when do i need to apply for H1 and are there different types of H1?
What are the dates for applying for H1 and the start date for H1?
I will be done with my OPT by June 2012, so when should i start my H1 filling and is there any way that i can extend my status?
what are the ways of applying for H1?
Sorry if i have been asking the same question which has been answered before, if so please do not mind to direct me to that particular page
Thanks,
Rohit
Do it as soon as you can. You have a lot of time though. This year's quota started from April 1 which will come into affect on oct 01. You have nothing to worry.

it took 45 days for the cheques to be encashed for the EAD application when I sent it to the Lockbox facility. I beleive they receive the mails in one location and forward it to the appropriate center.

During the interview they will ask for photographs, some questions that reflect that you guys are really in a marriage and the flight tickets and amount of time you spend together and then later get your previous paperwork and this paperwork together and then issue a conditional green card for 2 years and later on third year you can apply for citizenship.
My wife is a US citizen and i have applied my green card through her. attended the interview. We live in two different states and often travel to each other place.
Don't worry all willl be fine.
I would really welcome some help with my question! My foreign-born fiance and I would like to be married within the coming year. We are both students (he in CT and myself in MA). Our name is on the lease together here in MA but will we be penalized for living separately when he is away at school? I really appreciate your help, I can't find this answer anywhere! Thank you!!

Do one has to file 485 EAD & AP together or one can file 485 first & can file EAD & AP later on ?
What are the big NO NO & traps / mistakes one should avoid ??
This thread can be a big help for new filers...
Please share your experience

Hi! I'm H1B holder and my company is willing to sponsor the green card. I'm coming from Eastern Europe (Moldova) and in US am working as software developer, I guess it's EB-3, right? I graduated in Romania Bachelor Degree in Mathematics & Computer Science (4 years) and Master Degree in Computer Science & Engineering (2 years). My work experience is more than 7 years. Please advice how to proceed to get this process done properly, legally and fast, reasonably possible and how much time it would probably take. Thanks in advance!
You should try for EB2. Make sure the Labor requirement is filed accordingly. Any way as you are coming under ROW, its not going to make much difference.

hi all
I plan to probably file under the EB2 category soon- I know EB1 and EB2 can be filed separately, however can a EB2 regular and a EB2 with NIW application both be filed separately as well?
Need to know this asap, so would appreciate a reply, Thank You!
You can file as as many as I-140 and I-485 as possible at a time provided priority dates are current.

Hi
My h1 extension is under process. Once it gets approved can I am thinking of going to canada and get it stamped. My wife has also applied for cos from h1 to h4. It was not applied with my h1 extension but was applied 1 month later.
My question-
Can we go for h1 stamping for myself(once approved) and h4 stamping for my wife , even though her h4 is pending.Would I-539 receipt notice would suffice .
Thanks

I'm off to London for my H1B stamping. I was working for an Investment Bank that folded and I took up a job with a bank that has not taken TARP funds (not a US bank)
My I-129 was approved, however, it was approved before the new I-129 that asks whether the company accessed covered funds.
I just wanted to know whether I need to ask counsel in my firm to update the I-129 or should I just go ahead with the stamping?
Any other important documents I should take along? I was thinking of
a) letter from employer stating salary, start-date, position etc
b) letter from company stating that they did not receive TARP
anyone else on the same boat?
